William pursed his lips, took the file bag, and opened it suspiciously. Vivian had been staring at him with her eyes since he entered the door.
It was undeniable that she was happy when he said he trusted her.
But when she saw Mr. Hamilton throw something over, her heart was nervous for no reason.
Was that file so important that it would puncture the shaky trust between them at once?
Vivian bit her lips, and her palms were filled with sweats.
When William saw the thing inside, his face changed suddenly for a moment. But he quickly calmed down and sealed the document bag again as usual.
"Grandpa, I trust Vivian. I will investigate into this matter personally." He said firmly.
The stirring words did not ease the tension in Vivian's heart at all. Because of his tone, she knew the seriousness of the situation from his word. This document was important.
"William! I think you are crazy!" Mr. Hamilton slapped the table fiercely in anger.
William's eyes swept over the group of people in the room.
He saw Mr. Hamilton was angry, his father looked serious, his younger brother was frowning and a bit annoyed, and his wife was trying hard to calm herself down but still could not hide her nervousness.
William walked to Vivian and held her hand. "Is everything okay? I'm sorry I am late."
"William!" Mr. Hamilton yelled.
William lowered his eyes, "Grandpa, the Lu family does not rely on those vain things, but on excellent descendants."
"The impact of this thing can be big or small. I will take care of it. I will find out who is behind it and I will make him pay for it!" William's figure was extraordinarily tall at this moment.
Mr. Hamilton's eyes were hale and hearty with a bit of coldness. And his lips pursed with a little white.
William did not care about his expression, got up, and took Vivian away.
Mr. Hamilton's face was gloomy.
Oven got up and stretched his arms. "Grandpa, William is right. You are old, so you should do what you should do as soon as possible. Although William is not in J city, he will never let you feel disappointed in taking up the responsibility of the Lu family. It is getting late, let us go to bed.”
Mr. Hamilton's face was even uglier, and he looked at Oven with a cool look like a dead man, which made Oven's heart slightly shocked.
But he was used to his temper, so his face did not change at all. He quickly got up and walked away.
"Edward, you should search for Pine Garden carefully. From today onwards, no one is allowed to visit her." Mr. Hamilton said loudly.
"Dad, you are going to ..." William’s father stared at him with wide eyes.
Mr. Hamilton put his hands behind his back, "Didn't he say he wanted to clear the woman's name? So before his so-called truth is found, Vivian must be closely guarded. I'd like to see how capable this brat really is."
William’s father pondered for a while and did not know what came to his mind, but he soon acquiesced to Mr. Hamilton's approach in silence.
And at this time, Vivian had been brought to Pine Garden by William.
"William ..." Vivian felt like a cold sweat all over her body, so when the wind was blowing, her whole body was cold.
William shook his head and held her even tighter, "It is very late, and it is too cold outside, you should go back to rest."
"William, I know you believe me, but now I also want to help you. There is something fishy about this matter, I just thought of something, so I must tell you." Vivian anxiously grabbed William's arm.
William looked at her suspiciously.
Then she said, "There was another person besides me who had been to Mr. Hamilton’s study today.”
William narrowed his eyes, and his expression became a little cold.
