Xavier really wanted to retort when he heard his words. Was he expecting something to happen to him?
Did he need to do this if he wasn't trying to help him?
"Something will happen today, but I need your cooperation to help me clean up the aftermath. I don't trust anyone else."
Theodore understood what he meant: if they wanted to put on a show, they had better make it to the grand finale.
Soon after, the news reported that Xavier's car had overturned and fallen into the river. No one knew if he was dead or alive.
This news came like a tumbling sea.
When the news reached every corner of Ocpeace City, Christopher saw it too. He was shocked.
However, they all suspected that Wilson had done it.
"What's going on with the Godfreys? They're having problems, one after another," the nurse at the door said as she walked away.
None of the people in the ward spoke.
They were all wondering if the next person would be Theodore.
Missha was lying on the hospital bed, and her expression looked worse than before.
When she watched the news, her eyes flashed with confusion.
Wilson, on the other side, saw the message as well. He fell into deep thought, with no intention of taking action.
Theodore was appearing in public on purpose, and he seemed to be in bad shape, as if he hadn't had a good rest in a long time.
The reporters immediately swarmed to him upon seeing him and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Godfrey, now that Godfrey Group needs a president, will you go back to manage it?"
"Mr. Godfrey, have you found the murderer?"
Theodore's eyes were thick with exhaustion and there was not the slightest light in them. He looked like a man who had been to hell and back.
"I'm not going to manage it." Theodore dropped these words and went straight to the hospital, as if there was something important waiting for him there.
When Wilson saw the man on TV, his mouth quirked up in a sneer. It seemed that he had made the right decision to let Everleigh die, for only then could Theodore give up.
However, Wilson believed that although Godfrey Group was now leaderless, those directors were not easy to deal with. Sooner or later, they would claim the position forthemselves.
Theodore arrived at the hospital, but he did not enter Everleigh's ward. Instead, he sat on a bench at the entrance and spaced out.
Alexander and Christopher looked at each other and went over to sit next to him.
"You're the one who arranged this? To lure Wilson out?"
Theodore neither refuted, nor answered.
Alexander glanced at the door and said meaningfully, "You should go in and take a look. Everleigh won't blame you."
"But I would blame myself. Every time I said I would protect her, I went back on my word. I'm responsible for my father hurting the woman I love most." Theodore couldn't bring himself to meet her.
The only thing he could do was to take revenge. Only through revenge could he face her.
Alexander still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Christopher.
"It's been so long. Where is he?" Christopher
wanted to know where Wilson was now.
Would they be able to succeed?
Theodore replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't know. I'm waiting too. I guess he'll show up soon."
All he could do now was wait. He knew his father very well; he would appear.
Definitely.
Even though he knew that Theodore was digging a trap and was waiting for him, he still came here without hesitation.
He could not stand by and watch Godfrey Group be destroyed.
He had to save it.
When the others heard what he said, they went silent. Wilson had spelled it loud and clear, rendering it useless for them to struggle for power.
"Indeed, no one else is qualified except the Godfrey family, including you." A very cold voice came from the doorway, and all eyes were fixed on him.
Everyone saw Theodore and Xavier walking in from the entrance.
The moment Theodore looked at Wilson, the hatred inside him suddenly exploded. He had the impulse to send Wilson into his grave when he thought of what he had done before.
Wilson's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at them.
"You..."
"Mr. Godfrey, time to go," Xavier sneered, then waved his hand and ordered people to catch him.
Wilson also took the opportunity to run towards the door. As he passed Theodore, Theodore stepped forward and punched him to the ground.
All the people in the room were stunned, as if nothing had happened.
Wilson was also dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that he would have been beaten by his son.
Theodore looked down at the man lying on the ground and the hostility in his eyes grew stronger. His hands balled into fists, trying to unleash another punch.
"You... actually hit me. God forbid!"
Xavier looked up and glanced at Theodore. He immediately laughed and said, "If my legs weren't disabled, I'm sure I would have done the same. God forbid? It's better to be punished than to have a father like you."
"You shut up." "Did he say something wrong? How could you hurt Everleigh? You already hurt her once, why would you want to hurt her a second time?"
