Although William already retired, he held a high position for many years and still possessed an intimidating bearing. Meanwhile, Victor was a coward and couldn't stand his ground.
Besides, a stern Timothy and some fierce bodyguards were standing beside William.
Victor realized that he had to agree to it no matter what.
If he agreed obediently, he might be able to suffer less. However, he wouldn't get any rewards if he continued being stubborn.
"I can let Natalie leave the company on one condition." Victor thought about it for a while. He wanted to gain the biggest advantage since he couldn't defeat the Walkers.
Upon hearing that, William chuckled derisively. "Victor, did I treat you too politely? How dare you discuss conditions with me?"
Just then, Timothy replied calmly, "Father, leave it to me. I want to help Natalie too."
William shook his head. "You're still young. If you want to help her, you should deal with Selena instead.
"We're both fathers. Since Mr. Langley knows how to plan for his daughter's future, how can I fall behind him?"
Contempt was evident in his tone. When Victor heard that, he knew it was a threat.
"Mr. Walker, please let my daughter and wife go," Victor said. "Otherwise, I won't let Natalie go even if you threaten to kill me.
"Though your family is prosperous, we're the richest family in Amberton. We aren't afraid.
"If we prevent Natalie from transferring her shares to Selena, she'll be the biggest stakeholder in Langley Group."
As Victor spoke, he sneered indifferently. "If she really transferred the shares, she'll let Mrs. Langley Senior down."
"I've never met someone as shameless as him." Meanwhile, William didn't waste any more time talking to Victor. "Timothy, I'll leave this to you. I only want to see the results."
"Yes, Father."
Timothy gave his bodyguard a look. The latter dragged Victor into the lift, and then Timothy pressed the button to the basement.
After that, he called Marcus.
"Hey, Marcus. It's Timothy. Can I trouble you with something?"
"Please speak."
"Can you help to take care of my sis? I meant, friend. It's Natalie. I'm going to transfer Mrs. Langley Senior to Hector's hospital for the next three days.
Smirking, he added, "We discovered something interesting, so we'll need three days to deal with it.
"But, we can't let Natalie find out about it. This is her first time in Dithoria. Since she doesn't know anyone else, I'll have to ask for your help. Most importantly, I don't trust anyone apart from you."
Marcus thought briefly and agreed to the request. "Alright. Anyway, I'll be resting for the next three days. I can take her shopping."
"Alright. Thank you, Marcus."
"No problem."
After hanging up, Timothy held his phone while deep in thought. Marcus seemed to know that Natalie was from the Walker family.
However, since Natalie wanted to keep it a secret, Marcus didn't probe further.
Though Timothy sensed something amiss, he shook his head and came to his senses. There were more important things to do next.
