Lamont was surprised when he heard Valeria making her plans with a smile.

Valeria's personality change was too shocking as she had always been a good and innocent child.She

had definitely inherited Archer's cunning mind after all.

That was because she was acting like a split image of Archer himself! William sat in his office in

Howard Group as he read Marcus’ texts while listening to Steven's report.

"The banquet is going to be in Halcyon Hotel, one of the hotels run by Declan.Charles, Elizabeth and

Mason have all been invited as well.However, I think that Elizabeth will refuse the invitation because of

her injuries.But that doesn't stop us from dealing with the others right?"

"Declan is a drug addict, isn't he?" William asked.

"He's both a drug addict and a drug dealer.Are you thinking of using this against him?"

Marcus had caught on immediately.

"Yes, let's plan the downfall of his hotel tonight.After all, he's been using this hotel as his main location

for his illegal deeds."

"Understood, I'll arrange for it immediately"

William paused before picking up his phone to send another text.

"Keep an eye on Valeria and send bodyguards to protect her from all angles.She might make a mistake

because of her inexperience, so I want her to be protected well."

William stared at Steven who had been talking this whole time after putting away his phone.

"Alright, I'm having a migraine.Let me take a break, you can discuss the remaining details with my

father and Miss Anthony."

Steven was extremely upset while leaving William's office.

Why had William sent Steven the proposals of the collaboration with Acma Corporation if he was

uninterested in it? Steven was baffled after seeing how William was fooling around during work hours.

William had never dealt with any serious matters.

He would spend his time playing games, watching movies, and scrolling through short clips on his

phone instead.

Steven thought William would panic over the collaboration, but William had been dealing with all issues

calmly.

William always had an indifferent look on his face while reporting to work, and he would only text an

unknown person on his phone for advice whenever he faced any troubles.

In this case, William had left work before completing the proposal that Hayden had requested.

However, he had handed Steven a complete proposal the next day for him to understand it and

subsequently reporting the details to Hayden.

William had answered jokingly when Steven had asked who the proposal's author was, "I paid

someone else to do it.

If you keep this a secret, I'll make sure you'll get a bonus."

Steven knew that William was not the one who wrote the proposal as the proposal was excellent.

Someone must have been helping this ignorant and useless brat.

Otherwise, why would William need to hide his real identity as the next head of such a huge

corporation? As Hayden's favourite son, there was no doubt he would instantly be named as the next

heir if he had shown everyone the skills he had.

After that incident, William would once again reach out to an unknown person for help every time he

faced any problems with work.

Who was this mysterious person that was willing to help William without revealing his identity? Paisley

was on her phone when Steven entered the office.

She put away her phone once she saw him before asking, "How did it go? What did Mr.Howard say

about the proposal?"

"He says that he doesn't want to deal with any annoying matters, so you should just report your

decisions to Sir Hayden." Steven answered honestly.

Paisley glanced at Steven with a hardened expression before opening her mouth, "I'd like to ask you

some questions.Please take a seat, Steven."

Steven remained standing with a smile on his face, "How can I help you Miss Anthony?"

"Did you write this proposal yourself?" Paisley asked as she stared at Steven directly.

"If you really are the author of this proposal, you would've been appointed as a manager in Acma

Corporation! Your talents would only be wasted if you continued to work as a secretary here."

Steven evaded her gaze before asking quietly, "What are you trying to say, Miss Anthony?"

Paisley immediately noticed that Steven was reacting weirdly due to her excellent observation skills,

and she immediately added.

"Hayden doubts that you were not the one who wrote this proposal.There'll be serious consequences if

he finds out that you're lying to him."

"Did he really say that?" Steven panicked.

He would be in trouble if Hayden had found out that the proposal wasn't written by him as Hayden

hated liars the most.

"That's right.He had plans to investigate the truth, but I convinced him otherwise.He knows clearly

about the skills that you have, and it's unlikely that you were the one who wrote this proposal.If you

don't tell me the truth, how can I help you in the future?"

Steven was terrified at Paisley's words and immediately admitted to the truth, "I'll be honest with you

Miss Anthony.You were right, I did not write this proposal."

"Who wrote it then?"

"I have no idea.Mr.Howard was the one who handed the proposal to me and ordered me to tell you that

I wrote it."

"Mr.Howard handed this proposal to you himself? Do you know who wrote this proposal for him?"

Paisley questioned.

"I don't know who wrote it! I'm just a secretary, and I've never been able to approach Mr.Howard due to

his personality"

Paisley's eyes flashed with curiosity at his words.

There was definitely something weird about this proposal, but she also knew that Steven had no clue

about it.

William knew that the collaboration between Acma Corporation and Howard Group had to remain

confidential, and he would not risk an information leak by hiring someone else to write the proposal in

his stead.

That meant that the only possible answer would be that William had written this proposal on his own.

Paisley was stunned, William had been hiding his true skills this whole time if he really was the author

of this detailed proposal.

Paisley knew that she had to find a way to settle her queries.

She smiled at Steven's nervous figure reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep this a secret

from Hayden."

"Please don't reveal it to anyone, Miss Anthony! Thank you very much!"

Steven answered nervously as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.

He would be fired immediately and blacklisted by the other corporations in this industry if Paisley had

decided to report this issue to Hayden.

"I'll keep my mouth shut, so don't worry about it! Why don't you freshen up before we report this

proposal to the Hayden?" Paisley suggested.

Paisley then picked up her phone to send a text message after Steven had left, "I want to know about

William's roundabouts, get some of our men to follow him around the clock and make sure you report

all of the details to me!"
