Chapter 243 Am I Right?

"Mr Gardner, there's a private room upstairs. Would you like to move there? I'll have the chef..." Rose looked at Billy and began to speak.

"No need, we're almost done eating. You should go tend to your wound!" Billy waved his hand.

"Alright then, I'll be upstairs. If you needs anything, feel free to call me." Rose didn't insist further.

"Sure." Billy nodded.

Shortly after, Rose greeted Stout and Felicia before turning to leave.

"Billy, you're amazing! I really admire you!" As everyone dispersed, Felicia looked at Billy with an exaggerated expression.

"Little girl, eat quickly. After you're done, I'll take you to the company." Billy smiled faintly.

"Billy, can you teach me martial arts after I officially graduate?" Felicia asked with a serious expression.

"Focus on your studies, why learn martial arts?" Billy glared at her.

"Please, just promise me. I really want to learn!" Felicia looked at Billy with a pitiful expression.

"Felicia, do you think learning martial arts is fun?" Stout interjected, "It's not an easy life."

He recalled his miserable experiences in the mystical realm over the years and felt a sense of despair.

"It's fine, I'm prepared for it!" Felicia said resolutely.

"Don't be silly!" Billy was speechless.

"I'm serious, please promise me..." Felicia spoke up again.

"Felicia, what a coincidence, you're also having a meal here?" Just then, an elegant figure approached the three of them, accompanied by an elderly man.

Billy turned to look, his gaze narrowing slightly. The newcomer was none other than Audrey Ryan.

"Misss Ryan?" Felicia looked at her, slightly stunned, before speaking loudly, "You're here for a meal too?"

Afterward, she turned to Billy and said, "Billy, let me introduce you. This is the General Manager of the company I'm currently interning at, Miss Ryan. She's also the heiress of the Ryan family, one of the four great families in Enssea!"

Upon hearing this, both Billy and Stout's expressions flashed with a hint of surprise.

"Mr Gardner, hello. I didn't expect to see you in Enssea!" Audrey Ryan looked at Billy and spoke.

"Hmm?" Felicia was slightly puzzled, "Miss Ryan, do you know my brother-in-law?"

"Yes! I've met Mr Gardner twice before," Audrey looked at Felicia and smiled.

"Felicia, are you finished eating? If you are, let Stout take you back." Billy glanced at Audrey Ryan before turning to Felicia.

"Huh? I haven't finished eating yet..." Felicia was puzzled once again.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Felicia, it's said that the snacks in Enssea are good. Since I rarely visit, would you take me to try them?" Stout smiled and said.

Although he didn't know what exactly was going on between Billy and Audrey Ryan, he had a feeling that Audrey Ryan's appearance wasn't a coincidence. Clearly, Billy had also figured this out and didn't want Felicia to be involved in whatever was going to happen next. Knowing too much wouldn't be beneficial for her.

"But..." Felicia looked a bit confused.

"Go!" Billy waved his hand, "I'll treat you to a big meal after I'm done with my busy schedule in the next few days."

"Okay then..." Felicia also sensed something unusual and greeted Audrey Ryan before leaving with Stout.

"Mr Gardner, would you please move to a private room?" After the two left, Audrey Ryan took a deep breath and addressed Billy.

The main hall was crowded and noisy, not suitable for discussing business matters.

A few minutes later, the two of them arrived in a private room and sat down.

"Thank you for your presence, Mr Gardner!" Audrey Ryan poured tea for Billy.

"Don't try to be clever. You'll only get into trouble," Billy spoke calmly. "It'll only lead to your downfall."

"I apologize if I come across as obtuse. What do you mean, Mr Gardner?" Audrey Ryan's hand paused slightly.

"Still trying to deny it?" Billy's tone turned cold. "Felicia went to intern at your company. Don't tell me it's a coincidence."

When he heard Felicia addressing Audrey Ryan in the hall, he had already understood. Clearly, this was a deliberate attempt by Audrey Ryan to get close to him after their last encounter in Ozin. With the resources of the Ryan family, investigating the people around him wouldn't be difficult. Just like how Doug Wood had found out that Felicia was his wife's sister, Audrey Ryan could have found out too.

"Mr Gardner, you've misunderstood!" After serving them tea, Audrey Ryan took a seat and said, "I organized a campus recruitment event at Miss Knight's school for my company. Her qualifications and qualities are exceptional, so..."

"Is that so?" Billy interrupted her, "Are you trying to tell me that your recruitment event wasn't specifically targeting her?"

"Mr Gardner, I have no ill intentions towards Miss Knight," Audrey Ryan took a deep breath and refrained from denying further.

Feigning ignorance in front of an intelligent person would only lead to embarrassment, especially when facing someone as brilliant as Billy.

"Using an innocent college student and claiming no ill intentions?" A hint of sternness flashed in Billy's eyes. "Furthermore, you showing up here today, do you dare to call it a coincidence?"

"I…" Audrey Ryan felt like she was stumbling over her words in front of Billy, resembling someone with a speech impediment, completely unsure of how to respond.

"Not willing to admit it? Let me analyze it for you then!" Billy lifted his teacup and took a sip.

"After the incident with Lord Buddha, the four families in Enssea, including yours, were surely investigating who was behind it. However, up until today, you haven't obtained any definite information. But one thing you can be certain of is that Lord Buddha's downfall was a result of capturing Derek Hines. In all of Enssea, there are very few people who know about the close connection between Derek and me, and you are one of them. Knowing your character, you must have been looking for ways to prove whether I was behind Lord Buddha's incident or not, in order to make informed decisions for your family's next steps."

"Mr Gardner, I..." Audrey Ryan took another deep breath, her expression slightly uneasy.

"Did you know I would likely meet Felicia when I came to Enssea? So, if I'm guessing correctly, you've had people watching Felicia since yesterday, right?" Billy put down his teacup and continued speaking.

"Also, do you think I don't know you've been at this restaurant for a while? When we just finished ordering, you were already sitting at a table near the entrance!"

"And with Reed Clark's performance, it fit your plans perfectly. You could use that to speculate about my relationship with Rose. After Lord Buddha's accident, Rose began to take over his businesses. Anyone with a bit of intelligence would guess that someone was supporting her behind the scenes. And that person is likely the one you're looking for."

"The result was just as you expected. The way Rose acted when she saw me, you could immediately deduce our relationship. So, you've shown yourself. Am I right?" Billy continued.
