"Mr Gardner, I'm sorry, I just..." Audrey Ryan's face turned pale. She felt completely transparent in front of Billy, like he had seen through her completely.

"Now that you know I'm the person you're looking for, what do you intend to do?" Billy took another sip of tea.

Audrey Ryan took a deep breath and then spoke to Billy, "Mr Gardner, behind Enssea Chamber of Commerce is the Doman family. They're the ones dealing with Mr Hines. Our Four Great Families are just pawns for them. From the very beginning, the Ryan family didn't want to get involved in this matter. But the Doman family's orders are not something we can defy, or the consequences would be dire."

"So, you joined forces with them to deal with Derek?" Billy's gaze fixed on her. "The Doman family seems to be in a hurry to deal with Derek, and it's not just for pure business reasons, is it?"

Given the size of Enssea's business market, if it were merely about business competition, the Doman family wouldn't resort to such extreme measures against Derek Hines.

World Group, despite its size, wasn't an insurmountable challenge for the families and clans with their considerable power and resources. Utilizing legitimate business means and the influence of the four major families, taking over World Group wouldn't be overly difficult-it was mostly a matter of time.

"While I don't know the specifics, the Doman family has always had the intention of taking over World Group. As for the exact reasons, the four families are in the dark." Audrey Ryan shook her head.

She then refilled Billy's teacup and continued speaking.

"Mr Gardner, I know you're likely to take action against Enssea Chamber of Commerce. Could you please give me two days? I will convince my family to withdraw from this organization."

"Aren't you afraid the Doman family will retaliate against your Family?" Billy's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, I'm afraid." Audrey admitted frankly, "But... I don't want to be on the opposite side of you."

The original words she wanted to say were that she feared the Doman family, but she feared opposing Billy even more. She couldn't put her finger on the exact reason, but she had a feeling that even the Doman family wouldn't be a match for the man before her.

So, she decided to take a gamble!

After a slight pause, she continued, "Additionally, if Mr Gardner needs anything from the Ryan Family, please feel free to ask. We'll spare no effort."

"Alright, you can go now," Billy waved his hand.

"Mr Gardner..." Audrey Ryan's expression changed again.

"You have two days. If the Ryan Family hasn't withdrawn from Enssea Chamber of Commerce by then, you'll bear the consequences." Billy spoke again.

He was giving her a chance because he believed she wasn't beyond saving, and she didn't exhibit too many spoiled traits compared to other juniors from prominent families. Moreover, he had Judge investigate the Ryan Family and found that they were tolerable, with not too many grave wrongdoings. So, he was willing to offer them a chance.

"Thank you, Mr Gardner!" Audrey Ryan's eyes lit up, and she bowed deeply to Billy.

"Remember, you have two days," Billy responded.

"Please rest assured, I won't disappoint you." Audrey Ryan bowed again.

At the same time, Stout drove Felicia towards her company.

"Stout, be honest with me. Why did Billy send me away? Does he have an affair with Miss Ryan?" Felicia looked at Stout and asked, "Is she interested in my brother-in-law?"

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Stout was nearly choked by his own saliva.

"Did I hit the mark?" Felicia was unusually annoyed. "Stupid brother-in-law, he promised to only treat my sister well for a lifetime, he's lying!"

"No, I must tell my sister. I can't let her be kept in the dark!" After saying this, she took out her phone to make a call.

"I say, Felicia, can you not be so imaginative?" Stout was speechless. "Do you not understand who he is? How could he possibly be the kind of person you're thinking of! He asked you to leave because he didn't want to make you sad!"

"Why?" Felicia stopped her actions and asked curiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, you interning at this company might not be a coincidence." Stout responded.

As a genius in Secret Essences, Stout's intelligence was beyond ordinary. While he didn't know what had happened between Billy and Audrey Ryan before, the fact that that woman appeared at the restaurant today was no coincidence, Stout believed.

"What do you mean?" Felicia was puzzled again. However, after a moment of thought, she seemed to have an epiphany. "You mean, she is using me to get close to Billy? She's in need of something from him?"

"Congratulations, you got it!" Stout shrugged.

"No wonder!" Felicia let out a sigh of relief. "No wonder this company hardly ever went to the school's job fair before, but chose to go this year. Also, my interview went so smoothly, everything seemed to go my way. Even my internship salary is much higher than others! Moreover, during my internship, including her, several company leaders have been looking after me!"

At this point, a slightly annoyed expression appeared on her face. "She's too much, I've always considered her like a sister, and she's actually using me!"

"But don't be too upset, she probably doesn't have any malicious intent towards you," Stout comforted her.

"What does she want from Billy?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that, maybe she needs something from boss," Stout replied. He wouldn't reveal the truth to Felicia. Since Billy wanted her to stay out of it, it was clear he didn't want her to know too much.

"Did I cause trouble for my brother-in-law?" Felicia asked after a moment of contemplation.

"You're overthinking it, someone like her wouldn't be a slightest trouble for boss. She's just being presumptuous." Stout chuckled.

If even he could see through it, how could it escape Billy's notice?

As the King of the West, if Billy Gardner couldn't understand something as simple as this, it would be laughable.

"Stout, do you think she's interested in Billy?" Felicia suddenly blurted out after a long thought.

"Uh…" Stout was at a loss, "Maybe…"

Time flew by quickly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning, Billy and Stout arrived at World Group. Judge and Derek were already waiting in the office.

"Boss!"

"Mr Gardner!"

Seeing Billy, both of Judge and Derek stood up to greet him.

Billy nodded and then took a seat on the sofa. "Judge, how's the investigation going?"

"Apart from the Ryan family, the issues with the other three families are quite serious. Additionally, Lord Buddha has provided a lot of information about the three families and the Doman family!" Judge replied, then shared the information he had gathered with everyone.

"They really have some nerve!" After hearing Judge's words, Stout furrowed his brows slightly.

"A bunch of parasites in our nation!" Billy's voice turned cold as he spoke, then he turned to Derek.

"How's the situation with the Ryan family these days?"
