Chapter 676 Snooping Around
William knew that he couldn't ask too much because he faked his amnesia, if he did, people would suspect him.
But he couldn't not do anything about it. He subtly hinted Sammuel, trusting that he was loyal to Fandrey, so he would relay his message with full accuracy. Then, Fandrey will make the inferences himself.
As he thought about it, he looked at Sammuel and said, "You know that Natasya's uncle is in jail and waiting for his death sentence, right?"
"I know, I heard that Declan has done many evil deeds to bear these consequences."
"That's true, Devon has been working with Raelyn's company to smuggle and sell illegal drugs here, and those drugs are a menace to society."
"Illegal drugs? What kinds?" Sammuel's heart thumped. It was impossible for William to ask about the Floyd family's business for no reason, let alone randomly mentioning the illegal drugs, so he immediately asked.
"I don't know what kind of illegal drugs they are, but I know that these drugs were smuggled from abroad, so they should have partners from abroad for this illegal business."
"Do you know who they are?" Sammuel asked.
"I don't know, this is a life-threatening crime, so no one would ever admit that they were a part of it," William raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch, "I have something to do now, so I gotta go. Call me when there are any updates."
After sending him off, Sammuel immediately told Fandrey about their conversation.
Hearing that William asked about the family business, Fandrey was very surprised, "How did he not know about the biological medication business we have?"
"Yes, I found it strange, too. He also mentioned Declan, saying that the reason why he was executed was because he worked with foreigners to smuggle illegal drugs. Mr. Floyd, I think William is hinting something."
"Since this is the case, there must be a reason! Is there something wrong with the biological medicine business?" Fandrey pondered for a moment, "That shouldn't be it."
He found the company by himself and brought it to great heights with huge success, and it brought a lot of wealth to the Floyd family, which he was most proud of.
The company had always been on the right path and never took part in illegal businesses.
Now that he thought that there might have been something wrong with the company he founded, he naturally couldn't accept it.
William was probably just asking casually and did not mean anything else. However, biological medicine was one of the Floyd family's main businesses, so it didn't make sense for William to not know about it.
And why did he mention Declan? There must be something wrong!
He thought about it and told Sammuel, "I will pay attention to this situation, and you should also keep an eye on Devon as well, let's see what's going on!"
"Okay, I will," Sammuel agreed.
"I will focus on arranging people to investigate the matter regarding Declan smuggling illegal drugs, so let's talk about it after we have some news," After he finished, he heard a voice coming from outside and his expression changed, "Who is it?"
Angel's voice came from the door, "Grandpa! It's me!"
He frowned and hung up the phone, "Come in!"
She opened the door and came in with a cup of tea, looked at him with a pleasing smile and said, "Grandpa, I made some good tea for you!"
"You want me to drink tea at night? Is it because you are worried that I won't be able to fall asleep?" He asked.
"Of course not, I just want to serve you," she pouted like a spoiled child and handed the teacup to him.
He took it and placed it on the table, "You have other purposes, don't you?"
"Smart grandpa!" She chuckled, "You're worried about William, aren't you?"
"No, why would I be?" He shook his head.
"You're lying, I heard grandma say that you were so worried that it started affecting your sleep, why are you lying to me?"
"That's enough, stop worrying about me and tell me your purpose," he looked at her unhappily and asked.
"This is what I'm thinking, you and grandma are both worried about William, right? My dad can't find time and everyone else is also very busy, but I'm free. I can visit and take care of him!"
"Take care of him? Are you sure you're not going to cause trouble?" He chuckled.
"No, am I that kind of person? Grandpa, let me go and visit him, please. I'll follow him around every day and report his actions to you so that you and grandma don't have to worry anymore!"
He looked at her calmly and asked, "Who helped you to come up with this idea?"
"No one! I thought of it myself because I really want to share your burdens."
"That's enough, stop giving us more trouble, you want to share our burdens? Forget it, I can't count on you," he waved his hand to dismiss her, "It's getting late, you should go and rest."
She did not give up, "Then what about me visiting William?"
"Don't even think about it!"
After being rejected, Angel went out with a bitter face. She mumbled to herself as she walked back to her room with her hopes ruined. She sighed and laid on her bed. Suddenly, someone knocked on her door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me!" Veronica said from outside.
"Come in," hearing her voice, Angel sat up, "Why were you snooping around at the door of your grandfather's study room just now?"
Although Veronica was not her own mother, she had always been good to her, so she told her the truth, "I wasn't snooping around, I had something I wanted to discuss with him."
"What is it?"
"I was worried that Natasya would do something bad to William, so I just wanted to visit and take care of him."
Veronica shook her head with a smile and said, "Are you imagining things again? Natasya is his girlfriend, so she wouldn't do anything bad to him!"
"She's not his girlfriend, I'm telling you, I heard grandpa's conversation on the phone just now. Do you know what he talked about?"
Veronica smiled and said, "You just can't get rid of your habit of eavesdropping on others' conversations."
"I wasn't eavesdropping, I just coincidentally overheard a few words!" Angel explained.
"You always have an excuse for yourself, so what did your grandfather say?"
"He mentioned this man named Declan Anderson, who is that? Natasya's father is Devon, so Declan should be related to their family in some way, right?" She asked.
Veronica narrowed her eyes, "Declan and Devon are both from the Anderson family. Other than that, their names are similar, so they should be related."
"Right, that's what I thought too. Grandpa said that Declan is smuggling illegal drugs...
