Lucas shuddered as it had been many years since he had seen Hayden acting so viciously.
Madam Howard's death back then had left a huge impact on Hayden .
He couldn't even bear seeing William because he would be reminded of her death, and thus he had sent William abroad at such a young age.
He had said that it was for William to have a better future on the surface.
But Lucas knew that deep down, Hayden was afraid to look at William's eyes that resembled his wife's.
Therefore, Hayden would never allow William and Valeria to be together.
However, it seemed like William would never leave Valeria either.
Lucas felt that William was rather pitiful.He thought for a moment.
"Sir, why don't you tell Sir William the cause of Madam Howard's death? His feelings for Valeria might waver even though they're extremely close right now, once he knew that Valeria was indirect cause of his mum's death"
"You think I don't want to?" Hayden sneered.
"I would not have let Natalie die with a proper burial back then, but Archer didn't agree with me! He threatened me for Natalie!"
Lucas suddenly became silent when Archer had been mentioned.He knew how deep Archer's obsession with Natalie was.He would have never given up on Natalie and married Savannah if that incident hadn't happened.
Savannah was willing to starve herself for Archer as she would rather die than not be able to be with him.
Therefore, Hayden had to hide everything for the sake of his daughter's happiness.
Lucas's heart sank a little as he couldn't point out who was right and who was wrong in this mess.
Hayden and William were both unwilling to give in.
All the hidden truths would be exposed one day.
Once the truth about Natalie being the cause of Madam Howard's death had been revealed, William and Valeria's relationship would be affected.
Lucas felt a little uncomfortable once he thought about this result.He hoped that everything would end in silence so that the past events would stay in the past.
It was late at night.
Valeria, who had some fun in bed with William, nestled in the latter's arms and fell asleep while listening to the sound of the waves.
William didn't feel sleepy so he grabbed his phone on the bedside table and on it.He glanced at the message that Lucas sent a few hours ago, "Sir William, Sir Hayden is ill, Return quickly!"
A message from Marcus had been sent after Lucas, "Hayden is fine.Don't worry!"
William's mouth curved into a mocking smile as he looked at the two contrasting messages.
When Hayden was in the hospital for first aid last time, William had gone to the operating room to check on him.
He started to have his suspicions once he found that the operating room was clean and there was no trace of surgery at all.
However, he didn't want to believe that Hayden was pretending to be ill.
After all, Hayden had no reason to do so.
He had ordered Marcus to arrange for some people to investigate Hayden's situation once he had received Lucas’ message.
The results were clear now.
Hayden was pretending to be ill indeed.
He had lied to Charles, George, and Philip in the past, but he was targeting William specifically now.
Fortunately, he was the president of the Wolf Group.
He would have been anxious when he saw the news of Hayden's illness if he was just an ordinary person.
He would definitely go back immediately to see what was going on.
Therefore, Hayden would have used his illness to threaten him to break up with Valeria, and he would most likely agree to such an unreasonable request for the sake of his father's health.
William's face fell at this thought.
He was glad that he had seen through Hayden's tricks.
