After Sophia notified a private hospital in the city center, the relevant procedures and wards were immediately arranged, and the housekeeper flew here to meet her directly at the hospital. Sophia used the reason that she was still sick to send Michael to the advanced ward, and then she quickly returned to the villa.
The original plan was to take Michael into the cave and physically hold him back. As a result, he was now admitted to the hospital ward by mistake, which can be regarded as indirectly achieving the original goal.
Now that there was no one else around, Sophia searched Michael's room and luggage again, but she still couldn't find any other mobile phones or communication tools. Sophia carefully checked the data exported from Michael's computer and mobile phone again, but still couldn't find any clues from those ordinary text messages.

Sophia felt so frustrated that she was about to give up. Suddenly, I saw a multi-layered folder, but there was only one encrypted photo in it. Sophia asked the technician to decode it, and about 20 minutes later, the image was loaded. Sophia looked at the people on the screen and was shocked. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to react. There are two women in the photo, one of whom is wearing a green jacket is Sophia's mother. In this case, the other person wearing black clothes and a gauze scarf should be Michael's mother.
I had heard from my father before that my mother and Michael's mother were very good friends, and my mother had already decided on my marriage to Michael when I was young. I just didn't expect that the Smith family would keep their promise, but the inexplicable procedures at the wedding were also huge pressure and humiliation. Sophia would never forget the feeling of coldness and helplessness on her wedding day.
But then I thought about it. Michael's mother left in anger, leaving Michael alone in the Smith family. Judging from various signs from the past period, except for Michael's grandma's 80th birthday, Michael still sat at a normal family member's table. At any other time, Michael seemed to be very insignificant or even redundant. No family member treats him sincerely, and Mr. Smith obviously doesn't value him. Otherwise, why would he be allowed to grow tea in a tea house or raise horses in a pasture?
Thinking of this, Sophia actually felt a little sorry for Michael. But this sense of compassion soon disappeared, and she herself was unlucky. It's really not suitable for Sophia to imitate the heroine in the novel who is as compassionate as the heroine or the Madonna who bursts into glory.
After Wendy got rid of William, she immediately followed Linda quickly. Because of the interruption between William and her just now, Linda had already left them far away, and now she had left the mall and was walking on the sidewalk outside. Wendy quickly went up to the fourth floor corridor bridge to find a view, which was also a shortcut. Wendy looked out from the overpass and found Linda turning around and entering a four-star hotel opposite.
Did they arrange to meet at the hotel? It's still such an ordinary hotel, so this is very cautious. Will the person on the other side be the person in charge of Blackstone?

While Wendy was thinking, she took the overpass and took a shortcut and jogged into the hotel. In order to find out Linda's room number, Wendy asked Xiaowen in the car to call the hotel front desk and wanted to book a room. In this way, when Linda enters the hotel and asks for the room number, she can take the opportunity to hear the basic information about the reservation and the room.
When Wendy walked into the hotel, Linda had just left the front desk, and a foreman was leading her up. At this time, Xiaowen's text message also came.
"The person who booked the room is William Martin. The room number is 2308, which is a British aristocratic high-end room. I have already reserved 2306 next door. You can go directly to the front desk to get the key."
Seeing William Martin's name, Wendy stopped in shock, but immediately went to the front desk to check in two seconds later. After arriving in the room, Wendy immediately called Sophia to synchronize the situation there.

"Did you drink low-fat milk today?"
"Didn't drink."
This is the secret code for safety issues set by the sisters. ‘No drink’ means the environment is safe, and you can talk on the phone.
"Following the clues, I didn't expect it to be like this. This William is really hiding something." Sophia was also very shocked at the other end of the phone.
"No wonder this guy said those inexplicable things at the event last time. It turns out he has been targeting us for a long time." Wendy was a little angry.
"But what does he have to do with the Smith family?" Sophia was very confused, and she couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved for Michael. Why would Michael and his father rather hand over a company like Blackstone to an outsider than to Michael? Moreover, William is just a student who has not graduated from college. No matter how talented he is, it is impossible to choose him as the person in charge.
"Yes! Do they have some ulterior secret? William is not Smith's illegitimate son, right?" After thinking about it for a while, Wendy felt that this was the most reasonable explanation.
"I don't rule out this possibility. The last time we had dinner at his house, we could tell from the seats that everyone had a different status. Many women flock to Smith, a worldly successful man." Sophia didn't like Mr. Smith, and said he made Sophia feel uncomfortable.
In fact, there is no shortage of anecdotes about the Smith family in upper class circles. It is also obvious that not all children were born to the current Mrs. Smith. Mr. Smith is successful enough, romantic enough, and passionate enough! The third brother and younger sister are relatively young. I heard that their mother was Mr. Smith’s student and teaching assistant when he was a visiting professor at some universities. Sophia has not yet verified the details. These things were all heard from some servants in the castle. In fact, they were mainly talking about Michael, who was not favored by the family, and his new wife who came into the small family.
So who is William's mother? He has not yet returned to the Smith family. If he comes back, it will be another sensational thing of news.
"Hey, are you still listening? What should we do now?" Wendy's shout at the other end of the phone brought Sophia's thoughts back to reality.
"AZ's stock has risen sharply in the past few days, and some shareholders are anxious to cash out. Blackstone bought part of it, but not much. It seems that William is worried that it is a trap for us, and he still has a backup plan. There are other large-cap capitals involved in the market. I really don’t you understand what William is planning?”
"In that case, let's just meet." Wendy is a straightforward person. "He deliberately approached us and wanted to interrupt our cooperation. He also said those incomprehensible words last time. I think he is also forcing us to meet."
"Do you have any idea?"
"Not yet. But the original plan remains unchanged. Tomorrow morning, AZ's early events will appear on the front page of the morning financial news on time. As for William, the troops will come to cover up the water and the earth. I want to see what kind of gossip is in his belly. .”
"Be careful!" Sophia was still a little worried about Wendy.
"You should pay more attention to yourself. My hand was broken. It's really not worth the loss. Now it seems that Michael may really be an abandoned child. You two can travel normally and relax." Wendy hung up after saying that. Telephone.
After sitting quietly for another five minutes, Wendy got up and went to the next room. She stood at the door for a while and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door. The wooden door opened first, and it was William. His calm and long-awaited look made Wendy a little unhappy.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in. Senior Sister Wendy."
Wendy crossed her arms, straightened her back, and strode in quickly. No matter what, the momentum cannot be lost!
"Where's Linda? Are you alone?" Wendy sat directly on the sofa, crossed her legs, and asked William.
"What do you want to drink? Champagne or red wine?" William closed the door and went to the kitchen table to pour red wine.
William always looks like a dandy, and Wendy has a straight face that feels like a fist hitting cotton.
