Chapter: 18
Most times, in wealthy families, the family members valued the benefits that they could obtain more than having a harmonious relationship with everyone.

In fact, in order to guarantee his inheritance right, Raymond contacted the Wilson family's rivals and colluded with them. They plotted to kill both Michael and Anthony, the master and the heir of the Wilson family at that time. He was so blinded by greed that he didn't care how unforgivable his action was.

Because of this, Anthony decided to put on this show in order to reorganize the Wilson family. Of course, he and Michael were in on it together.

“I also heard that the Jenkins family adopted a country girl to replace their daughter to marry you. Is that true?" Michael let out a frown, thinking that Bill wasn't being grateful to them.

Even though Bill tried his hardest to secretly manipulate the situation in his favor, his movements wouldn't escape Michael's intelligence network.

“It's my fault that we cannot find out the true identity of the person who tipped us off... But I didn't expect that Bill would pull off something Like this. That man can be a wily fox."

“It doesn't really matter."

Anthony waved his hand, his tone very indifferent.

“In fact, I think it's good that my bride is going to be a girl froma small town in the countryside. At least I'd know for sure that she has a clean background.”

It was true that with Raymond's help, the enemies of the Wilson family managed to ambush Michael. However, Anthony managed to save him at the most crucial moment.

Moreover, the only reason why Anthony could come and save Michael in the nick of time was that he had received a mysterious tip about their enemies’ plan.

The Wilson family boasted a lot of resources and high-end technology, but they still couldn't locate the person who sent the information that saved Michael.

The only thing they could confirm was that the information was sent from the small town in the countryside where the poor Jenkins families lived.

Although the person was adamant about revealing their identity, Michael found out about Bill Jenkins through thorough investigations. It turned out that he was the only Jenkins from that town who now lived in Sheffield.

Coincidentally, Bill had a daughter. After conducting a background check, they Learned that Vivian seemed to meet all the standards of an eligible lady.

Therefore, on a whim, Michael made an arrangement to set up an engagement between Vivian and Anthony.

However, Anthony was busy with other affairs at that time, so he didn't know that Michael was planning something like this. Nonetheless, he didn't object or say anything even after learning about the engagement.

He simply began to spread the rumor that he was stripped of the right to become the heir of the Wilson family and that he ended up being permanently disabled because of the ambush.

He actually thought that Bill would propose to cancel the engagement after hearing about the rumors. But it came as a surprise that because he didn't dare offend the Wilson family, he actually adopted a new daughter to make the situation still favorable for him.

“Anyway... Anthony, you know that arranging this engagement for you at that time was just an impulse of mine. If you want, we can always call it off..."

Michael thought that as he grew older, his decision-making skills got poorer. Because of this engagement, he assumed that he made unnecessary trouble for Anthony.

Now, he wanted to cancel the engagement. The only problem was that if the Wilson family took the initiative to propose its withdrawal, it would inevitably make them lose face. If they pushed through with it, they would have to properly apologize to Bill for the inconvenience they caused.

However, it seemed that Anthony had a different idea in mind. He shook his head and advised, "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it myself."

After taking Maria to Sheffield, Bill began to arrange a date for her and Anthony.

Right now, it was the first priority on Bill's agenda.
