"Dad, what's wrong?" William was impatient. He only wanted to divorce Sophia now. Only after getting a divorce, he could get the mistress and their child recognized.
"What's wrong? How dare you ask me that? William, tell me, where did you get the money to support the mistress and the child? How could you buy a house secretly?" Halbert had a gloomy face.
William was nervous while hearing it. He did it secretly. How did his father find out?
"Say it! Aren't you a good talker? Tell me how you got the money! Now that you've been sued, you even want a divorce. It seems that you don't want your position in the Carter Group? You can't get a divorce now. Behave yourself and come out with Sophia, so that people can know how happy you guys are. Just pretend it all the time." Halbert said to William with a gloomy face.
"Dad, which media is it? How did they know?" William also knew that although he was nobody in the Carter Group, for the outsiders, as long as it was something about the Carter Group, they would make groundless accusations.
"How dare you ask me? You are so stupid and even misappropriate the company's funds. How dare you ask me? Now that someone got something on you, you shame the Carter Group." Halbert said and got angry again, and punched William a few times.
"Dad, Dad, it hurts, it hurts!" This time, William did not hide while being beaten. He just asked Halbert to beat lightly.
"Do you hear me? From now on, be nice to Sophia. You have to ask for her help to act. If you get divorced now, I can't even save you." Although Halbert was not very fond of Jacob and William, they were his own children. At the critical moment, he still loved them.
"I know, I know." William was honest now.
"And you have to make the money you misappropriated up. The finance director has told me the specific amount. I wonder who can be more familiar with our finances than you. They already know how much money you misappropriated. If you do not make it up, you are not qualified to be the branch manager." Halbert did not even want to look at William.
"But I don't have so much money! Dad, please help me!" William panicked at this time. He had spent all his money. How could he get money to subsidize it?
"There's nothing I can do. You have to handle what you have done." Halbert did not want to indulge William anymore. He had embezzled a large sum of money.
After saying that, Halbert let William out. He sat in his study quietly, thinking about something.
"How's it going, William? What did your father say to you?" Grandma Eva saw that her grandson came out with a gloomy face.
"It's okay. Why don't you guys leave? I'm leaving. Damn it!" William didn't say anything to his grandmother and mother. He just looked at Sophia, who looked nervous and did not know what he was going to do.
"What do you want?" Sophia hid behind Grandma Eva.
"Nothing. You're lucky and I'm not divorcing you. Don't worry." William said and went back.
"What did Halbert say to him just now? How did he change dramatically? Does the slap just now work?" Grandma Eva looked at William's back and muttered.
