Andrew told Anna that he still had some things to take care of in Sea Cityand he would leave for Birmingham later within a week.

So, Anna and Wayne left first.

“Someone else was in charge of Carousel Group five years ago, right?” Anna asked as they were in his car.

Wayne had his hands on the steering wheel and was looking intently ahead. He wasn’t distracted when he heard that and then said,

“Richard is a year younger than me. But, he had only finished his undergraduate degree when he worked for the group back then. He

even gave up the chance to pursue a master’s degree at Yale. So he was already the group’s vice president when I returned to England. To

be honest, Grandpa used to think highly of him.”

Anna was impressed with Richard. She had met him at the Wrights’ house before and remembered that he was a man in his thirties

and looking somewhat similar to Wayne.

He seemed gentle and friendly, and always had a smile on his face. However, no one could really get close to him.

“Maybe you made Richard feel threatened,” Anna speculated as she glanced over at Wayne.

Wayne nodded, then shifted his gaze to the side as if he didn’t care. He replied, “Yes. I am a shareholder in the Group and I was

involved in some of the board resolution meetings. Later, I felt unsure of the company’s financial situation. After my grandfather had it

checked out, he allowed me to take part in the company’s management. But I didn’t have quite the same power as Richard at the

time.”

So, whether Wayne controlled the company or not, as soon as he returned to England, he posed a serious threat to Richard. Peter

was in charge of the entire group at the time, and he had complete authority. Wayne was Peter’s only grandson, thus there was a good

chance that he would inherit the group later.

“Did he do anything to you?” Anna continued to ask.

Wayne said with a snort, “Yes, he did some awful things to me. And if he hadn’t done those things, he could have kept his job as a vice president. After all, he’s a relative of mine. Also, when he was president, the group was doing quite well. But, the problem was that

he was too paranoid.”

Richard felt envious of Wayne after he joined the company. To make Peter hate Wayne, Richard did something in secret and planted

it on Wayne. Also, he was also the one who spread the rumor that Wayne was gay.

It was only after Peter heard the ridiculous rumor that he forced Wayne to get married soon.

Anna was taken aback when she heard his words.

Could Matthew‘s illness have something to do with Richard?

she wondered.

Richard has every reason to hate Matthew, Anna reasoned in her heart, because he is the company‘s future heir, Because of Matthew,

Richard‘s chances of inheriting the company became significantly slimmer. This is unsurprising, given how much Richard despised

Wayne

Then, Wayne frowned and asked, “Anna, did you investigate what happened before to Matthew?”

“Oh, do you think I’mn joking?” Anna said as she frowned irritably at him,

“Oh, 10, that’s not what i meant. I won’t stop you from looking into it if you want to. And, if you need help, you can ask me all you

want. You don’t have to deal with this alone.”

Afterwards, Anna looked just a little less angry. She said, “If that’s the case, then Richard is very suspicious. Don’t worry, i’ll look into

it right away. Well, anyway, I hope you should be wary of him. When I spoke with him the other day, I got the impression that he still toathes you.”

Anna kept a close eye on Wayne’s expression as she stated this because she didn’t want to miss any slight change in his mood.

Wayne then immediately frowned a little. He appeared to be thinking about something and was self-condemned. However, he

Anna’s hent kipped a deal when she heard his words. Then, she recalled what Ryan had said to her. He speculated that the Wrig

“Oh, so it seems to me that he’s very powerhul. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been fighting for power with you for so many years.

Wayne replied indifferently, “You’re right, but he shouldn’t have done those things to me in the first place. You know, business

competition is just for business aller all. My grandfather values keeping his family members together, so Richard shouldn’t treat his far

Wayne was then suddenly silent for a few seconds and replied, “Oh, it was my grandfather who quelled that. So, I can’t comment
