Chapter 701
Chapter 701
Maverick was exhausted after working in front of the computer for a whole day. His stomach was completely empty.
He did not care about his image as he gobbled up the food.
"Are you done yet?" Theodore looked at the computer and asked.
"I'm pretty much done. I have a small part left which I will finish in a while. By the way, aren't you going to investigate who's behind this?"
He was more curious about who had done this.
Theodore did not say a word. He did not need to investigate to know who was behind this. Wouldn't he know who was once the CEO here?
"Let's settle this first."
"Alright."
Maverick and the others finally finished the work at midnight. After that, Xavier checked Maverick and Theodore into a hotel to rest.
He had to care for them after they had helped out so much.
The next day, Maverick was listless as he bought some things before going to visit the Meyer family. He wanted to visit the day before, but he had to help Theodore out. If he did not go that day, it would feel inappropriate.
When Maverick arrived at the Meyer family house, he saw Felicia eating breakfast on her own. When she saw him, she was stunned.
"You... Did you come alone?"
"Yes. Ysabelle is still asleep, isn't she? I just thought of coming here earlier."
Felicia raised her eyebrows. She could tell at a glance that Maverick did not have a good sleep the night before. His dark circles were so bad that he looked just like a panda.
"I'll wake Ysabelle up," she said and ordered the servant to do so.
Maverick followed her and sat down on the sofa.
"Ysabelle said that you would come yesterday."
He looked a little embarrassed as he explained, "I wanted to come yesterday, but I had something urgent to settle. That's why I came here first thing in the morning to beg for Ysabelle's forgiveness."
She looked at him meaningfully. Since he had made it clear, she could not say anything.
Not long after, Ysabelle came down. She was dressed in casual clothes and looked a lot more relaxed. Compared to her usual domineering look, she was much more gentle.
"Why did you come here so early in the morning?" She yawned and said. Obviously, she had not woken up fully yet.
"I didn't come yesterday. If I didn't come here today to meet your parents, I might not be able to enter your family," Maverick responded as he held her hand and asked her to sit by his side.
"Tell Mom and Dad that we're all going out for lunch together later." Ysabelle had already arranged it.
Christopher and Erine were invited to lunch as well.
At this time, Christopher was extremely busy in the hospital. When he received the call from Ysabelle, he felt a little awkward.
Why was it that day?
"What's wrong? You look pale." Everleigh came in for some water and saw him sitting on his chair with a look of despair.
"Ysabelle asked us to have lunch later because Maverick is here. Look at the amount of patients here. It's impossible for me to leave."
She thought that it was a big deal when she saw the look on his face. However, she could help him deal with this small issue. "You must be present for this kind of thing. Otherwise, people might think that you look down upon the Laneigh family. Go attend the gathering. I'll handle things here." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Everleigh, you really are the best. Me helping you before this did not go to waste. I'll invite Erine later." He was waiting for her to suggest this. It would not have been right for him to bring it up.
At noon, Theodore wanted to ask Everleigh out for lunch, but she rejected him. There were many patients and Christopher was not around. She could not leave the hospital.
He did not complain. He just told her, "Wait for me. I'll be there soon."
Since she could not leave the hospital, he would go look for her. It was the same after all.
Before she could tell him that he did not have to come over, she heard that he had already hung up.
Coincidentally, a patient came in, so she went straight back to work.
When she returned to her office, Theodore brought a lot of delicious food over. Everleigh's expression froze. "Why are you..."
"Come eat. I know you're busy today, so I came here instead."
She smiled without saying anything. She had been busy all morning, so she could not hold on any longer.
During the meal, she suddenly asked, "Did you not sleep well? Your eyes are bloodshot."
"Yes. Some confidential files from Godfrey Group were leaked yesterday. Xavier called me and I was there the whole night."
"Something that serious happened? Who did it?" She asked in surprise.
It was a serious matter for the confidential files to be stolen by someone else.
"I know who he is. I'm still looking for him."
"Is it Wilson?" She asked tentatively.
He did not reply, but he did not deny it as well.
"Let's eat. Let's not talk about these unhappy things and affect our appetite." She looked at his flashing eyes and knew that she should not ask him any more questions.
After the meal, she went back to work. Theodore received a call from Xavier telling him that Revainge had arrived.
Theodore frowned in confusion. He did not understand why Revainge was here.
"Wait for me. I'll head over right now." He hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking and drove straight to Godfrey Group.
At this time, Revainge was already sitting in the office. He looked at Xavier with a smile on his
face.
"Mr. Godfrey, I apologize for the sudden visit. I found something on the Internet yesterday, so I came here to return it to you." After saying that, he gave him a bag.
Xavier did not rush to pick it up. Instead, he looked at Revainge expressionlessly and said, "Mr. Folks, you came here early in the morning just to tell me this?"
"Mr. Godfrey, why don't you open it and have a look. After all, it belongs to Godfrey Group."
"What's that?" Xavier asked with a puzzled look.
When Revainge saw his expression, he smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Godfrey, you'll know once you take a look at it."
"There's no need. I know very well whether or not Godfrey Group has lost anything. There's no need to trouble you, Mr. Folks," Xavier replied with a smile. His eyes were cold and distant.
When Theodore came over, he happened to hear these words, "Mr. Folks, this is Godfrey Group. As the president, I know clearly that we did not lose anything. Mr. Folks, why are you so sure that this belongs to Godfrey Group? Could it be that you have seen it?"
Hearing his words, Revainge's expression was a little unnatural. Then, he laughed and said, "Of course. Otherwise, how could I know that it belongs to you?"
"Then, can I sue you for stealing confidential information?" Theodore said in a cold voice. His expression was cold and he did not look like he was joking at all.
Revainge's face froze. "What do you mean? Am I wrong to come here to deliver the files?"
"You're indeed at fault. Godfrey Group did not lose any files. Why do you think they belong to us?" Theodore said calmly.
