Julia Walker gave a thumbs up to William Walker, her hand trembling, her face bruised and purple, looking especially worrisome—if she couldn’t catch her breath, things could get really bad.

But William Walker ignored all of this, strolling over unhurriedly. He stopped in front of the old man, gave a slight bow, and called out, “Grandpa.” Then he bowed to the old lady and called, “Grandma.”

He was completely at ease.

The old man remained expressionless, his gaze calm and steady, but the old lady kept signaling to him with her eyes, urging him to be careful and not to provoke his aunt any further.

She figured that right now, Julia Walker probably wanted to kill someone.

The old lady usually didn’t pay much attention to these matters, but the news about Julia Walker reporting Eugene Young had already spread all over Yundu, and she’d heard about it too. This time, even the old lady felt that William Walker had gone too far.

This child had always been bold since he was little, afraid of nothing, stubborn as a mule—just like his father, as if they were cut from the same mold. But no matter what, he shouldn’t be causing such trouble!

He’s gone too far!

“William Walker, you’re being a scoundrel yourself, but why did you use my name?”

Seeing William Walker’s nonchalant attitude, Julia Walker truly felt a murderous impulse for a moment.

William Walker going to the prosecutor’s office to report Eugene Young and the Yunfan family had already made Julia Walker furious, but what made her even angrier was that William Walker had signed her name on the report, making her one of the official whistleblowers against Eugene Young.

Her name was even listed before William Walker’s.

She didn’t even get a chance to explain things to Eugene Young.

This bastard was going straight for her foundation.

She couldn’t figure out what had gotten into him, why he was so determined to break her and Eugene Young up—what had she done to offend him?

“Auntie, come on, aren’t we family? Whether I write your name or mine, it all represents the Wang family, doesn’t it?”

William Walker still grinned cheekily, not the least bit serious, as if he thought the whole thing was just a joke.

“William Walker!”

“That’s enough!”

“I’m not joking with you!”

“You need to explain yourself today. Right here in front of Grandpa and Grandma, tell us honestly—what exactly are you trying to do?”

Julia Walker’s bruised face gradually turned ashen, her eyes blazing with anger.

“That’s right, Erzi, you’re being way too naughty. How could you mess around with something like this?”

The old lady also chimed in, clearly displeased.

In her view, this whole thing was just baffling. Everything was going so well, wasn’t it? Julia Walker had been divorced for years, finally decided to remarry, and the other party was a good match. The old lady liked Eugene Young—he was wealthy, decent-looking, the right age, practically a perfect son-in-law sent by the heavens to the Wang family.

She was already looking forward to the wedding banquet, but now this had happened.

No wonder Julia Walker was so angry.

Anyone would be!

The old lady wasn’t one for conspiracy theories, but even she suspected there might be something going on behind the scenes—William Walker must have been instigated or used by someone.

“Grandma, I really wasn’t messing around. The one who’s truly out of line is Eugene Young, not me!”

William Walker quickly said to the old lady.

“Nonsense, how is he out of line?”

William Walker smiled and said, “Auntie, I’ll say it again: he’s a criminal trying to use our Wang family as a shield. That’s clearly malicious intent!”

“You… you’re just spouting nonsense, slandering him…”

“I’m done arguing with you here. Go to the prosecutor’s office right now and get the report back. Tell them it was you fooling around!”

William Walker just laughed, shaking his head lightly. “Auntie, you’ve worked in the legal system for years. Do you really think that once the report is at the prosecutor’s office, we can just take it back ourselves?”

“You…”

Julia Walker glared at William Walker, veins bulging on her neck. After a moment, she suddenly twisted her waist and stomped over to the old man.

“Dad, look at him—he’s being such a jerk… Can’t you say something?”

Even in her rage, Julia Walker knew that William Walker wasn’t just talking nonsense.

Once the report was at the prosecutor’s office, what happened next was up to them—it wasn’t something the whistleblower could just take back.

In fact, as soon as she learned about the report, Julia Walker had immediately tried to use her connections to suppress it, but it hadn’t worked.

William Walker had chosen his target too “shrewdly”—that Henry Jones just didn’t fit into her network, and even the old man had no connection to him.

That’s why Julia Walker was even angrier.

William Walker was determined to ruin everything, not leaving her even the slightest chance.

She really couldn’t understand what Eugene Young had done to offend William Walker so badly.

At this point, it seemed only the old man himself could salvage the situation.

But from the start, the old man hadn’t said a word, his expression barely changing.

He’d never been like this before.

His attitude only made Julia Walker more anxious and uneasy.

The old man’s gaze slowly swept over and settled on William Walker’s face. After a moment, he said calmly, “Erzi, tell us yourself—”

“What’s there for him to say? What does he know…”

Julia Walker couldn’t help but shout again. In that moment, she was no longer the strong woman others saw her as, but more like a little girl venting her anger and grievances in front of her parents.

“Hmm—”
