Chapter 372

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m happy that you’re helping me like this,” Cecilia said.

“Lloyd Enterprise’s shareholder meeting will be held tomorrow to discuss the distribution of my father’s assets. I must quickly settle this issue regarding your apartment,” Rachel said.

“Just tell me if you need my help,” Cecilia assured her.

“I need another favor from you. Help me check on things on William’s end. I worry he won’t be detained for much longer.”

Even if Tyler agreed not to help hasten William’s release, the Lewis family and William himself would find an alternative way. Still, Tyler’s intervention would significantly shorten William’s detainment.

Cecilia agreed readily to it. “No problem! I’m on it.”

Rachel nodded before dialing a strange number. “Have you submitted the proposal?”

“Don’t worry, Rachel. I’ve done it. I amended the proposal as you told me to, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem,” came the reply.

“Okay. I’m counting on you.”

Rachel had been burning the midnight oil lately, working on and amending the proposal to snag the project before William could get his hands on it. Cutting off Lewis Enterprise’s source of funds would land the company in a crisis.

When Rachel hung up, Cecilia asked curiously, “Rachel, who were you calling just now?”

“A man who once wanted to harm me,” she said simply.

It was the best explanation she could offer.

Cecilia was stunned by the answer, shocked that Rachel would use someone like that.

“Rachel, I advise you to think twice. If he can think about harming you once, he’ll do it again. For all you know, he’s probably waiting for a chance to strike. How could you let him work for you?”

“It’s fine. I wouldn’t have allowed that to happen unless I had absolute trust in him.”

Hearing that, Cecilia knew that Rachel was no longer the woman she had known in the past.

Rachel had probably considered whatever concerns Cecilia was having right now. There was probably no point for Cecilia to push things her way.

At the police station, William was speaking to his lawyer.

“It’ll be tomorrow at the latest,” the lawyer said.

William heaved a sigh of relief. A day here felt like years. He was cooped up here for two days, and it was all thanks to his beloved ex-wife!

Soon, Arsen received a call.

“What? When did that happen? Got it, I’ll tell Mr. Lewis everything I know.”

After hanging up, Arsen approached William with a sullen face. He had to collect his thoughts for a moment before announcing, “Mr. Lewis, I was informed that the project we were working on with an overseas partner was snatched right under our noses!”

Arsen hesitated for a moment before continuing.

“Someone who claimed to be from Lloyd Enterprise jumped in, seeking to sign a contract with them. Their proposal immediately caught the eye of the person in charge. He signed the contract without a second thought.”

“He signed it straight away?” William said, baffled. “And it was someone from the Lloyd family… Could it be Yvette? But how would she be capable enough to do that? It couldn’t be Jim. He’s still in the hospital.”

A name flashed past William’s mind, and his eyes darkened.

“She’s the only one left!”

Arsen immediately understood who William was referring to.

“Are you talking about Ms. Lloyd, Mr. Lewis?”
