As long as nothing would go sideways at the annual meeting, she was confident that this matter would be settled. After all, Elsie was not Daniel's child. The DNA test sheet was clearly forged by someone who wanted to frame her!
Beverly was stunned. Why would someone forge this to frame her?
If there was someone who want to set her up, it could only be that retard Emily. But could she come up with such a complicated way?
She was clearly not smart enough for it.
Beverly felt that something important was ignored, but she couldn't recall it at the moment, so she could only put it aside and fix the current matter with all her might.
Daniel saw the hint in her eyes. He pursed his lips and stopped talking. But his wife saw their eye contact and was pissed off. She said to Beverly, "Since it was a forgery, why did you tear it apart? Are you trying to hide something?"
Beverly was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She finally got rid of it but the woman stirred up trouble again.
Daniel frowned on his wife's words. He pulled her wrist and said, "Enough. I'll talk to you later."
Lily held back all her grievances and unwillingly shut her mouth.
All she wanted from her husband was a word that he would never see this woman again. When she saw that DNA test, she panicked. The only thing that kept her 'safe' was her children. If Daniel had any bastard and he wanted to take his kids in, they might get divorced. How could she let such a thing happen? She would never divorce him no matter what. Ever since she married him, she hadn't worked. She had long forgotten what it was like to go to work. She was totally a housewife.
What concerned her most was that Daniel would abandon her. Therefore she came here with her so-called evidence and stood against Daniel. Even he would abandon her eventually, as long as he admit the DNA test was authentic, she could prove that he cheated on her in their marriage. And she could get much money.
She had made all her plans. But she didn't expect that she would see the two of them coming out of the hotel room in disheveled clothes when she came over. All her plans were gone and all she felt was endless rage.
She didn't want to give in. What she wanted was Daniel confessing and that woman begging for her forgiveness.
But now, everyone acted like nothing happened, and even invited them to the annual meeting.
Everyone went downstairs with their own thoughts. Only Maury gave Harold a glance before leaving. Harold nodded, hinting that he got it. All of them walked into the lift. Everything seemed fine but it was not.
Elsie's back was drenched, and she didn't dare to breathe heavily.
When the lift arrived the twelfth floor, Matthew and Maury took the lead. Only then did she let out a light breath and looked at Beverly in fear. She whispered, "Mom, what's going on?"
Beverly grabbed her hand to comfort her and said, "It's fine. Don't ask. Let's go."
Elsie knew that it was not a good time to ask questions, so she hurriedly followed along.
There were only Eliot and Emily left in the lift. Just as Daniel and his wife came out, Harold took them to the lounge. He said that they were going to attend the annual meeting, but it was just an excuse. When they got into the lounge, Lily was already a little confused. Just as she was about to ask something, the door was closed and Harold was guarding the door.
Only then did Lily realize that they had been detained!
She tried to open the door. Daniel grabbed her arm and said, "What are you doing?"
"How can she keep us here?" Lily had cried just now, and the tear stains were like two rivers. "It was that woman who seduced you. Why not lock her up? Why us? How could he?"
For some reason, Daniel completely ignored his wife when seeing her like this.
At his age, man always had affairs. But his wife came here and caught him. What a shame.
"I asked you. Why are you here?" Daniel asked with a long face.
"Someone texted me to come." She said, "It must be her. She tried to set me up, but the hunter becomes the prey."
Daniel intuitively retorted, but thinking about it, he felt that this was indeed something Beverly would do.
Lily' eyes suddenly widened, "Are they trying to kill us?"
"No way!" Daniel was shocked by her and covered her mouth. "I told you, I had nothing to do with that bitch. You are gonna shut your mouth and I'll talk to you when we get home."
"Is there anything I can't say?" Lily glared at him, "Tell me, was that your illegitimate daughter?"
"Bullshit! That's nonsense. Are you out of your mind?" Daniel scratched his hair in frustration. There were still wounds on his face, and the corners of his mouth hurt when he opened his mouth to speak.
"She even looks like you!" Lily was angry and aggrieved, "How dare you raise a bastard behind my back..."
"Enough!" Daniel said sternly, "Where did you get those things?! It's not true at all! And my wills? Where did you hear it from? I've never made any wills!"
"I ... I..." Lily thought for a moment before hesitantly saying, "Someone sent me something. It was this DNA test report... I came here because someone sent me a message... "
Daniel's expression turned gloomy. "Someone is messing with me!"
Seeing his face, Lily believed him. "How could this be? That was not your daughter? And you were just talking business up there?"
Daniel saw that she almost believed, and immediately coaxed her a few times to patch up his lies.
At the door, Harold listened without missing a single word. He thought to himself, "Miss Emily will make you pay."
On the other side, Eliot, Maury, and the others arrived at the Annual Meeting Hall in a strange and silent atmosphere. The host on the stage was the director of the marketing department of the company. He was probably worried that the boss hadn't come yet and the employees would be too high. Therefore, he took the microphone and held an impromptu meeting on the stage. Everyone was sitting there with their eyes fixed. All of them were solemn and strict. It didn't seem like an annual meeting, but rather a general meeting.
Just as Maury and others entered, the marketing director saw them and said through the microphone, "Next, let's have Mr. Maury from the Britt Group make a speech."
