Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1864

Wilfred furrowed his brow. "Ms. Kinglake, you..."

Because of Anya, Whitney's relationship with him had plummeted to an icy point, almost reaching an irreconcilable state.

Therefore, Whitney never participated in events where the Newhouses were present. Her attendance at this banquet today was akin to the sun rising from the west for Wilfred.

Despite that, her words now were a bit too much.

Wilfred spoke sternly. "I only hold admiration for Ms. Squire."

"Whether you admire her or not, that's something only you know!" Whitney glanced at him disdainfully, her expression serious. "Wilfred, I must remind you-Maisie belongs to Daniel. They'll be getting married soon. Although I'm not entirely pleased with this prospective niece-in-law, I can accept her as long as my nephew likes her.

"But... certain old toads should stop dreaming of enjoying the luxuries of life! These toads should take a good look at their own character by the waterside!"

Wilfred was infuriated but unable to retort openly. He had to swallow his anger.

After a while, he spoke softly. "I know my recent investment in the film and requesting Maisie as the scriptwriter has sparked many speculations. However, Ms. Kinglake, this investment was facilitated by your nephew, don't you know that?"

"What?"

"When I signed the contract with Maisie, Daniel was present!"

Whitney paused, momentarily blanking out.

Wilfred smiled. "Don't assume such despicable intentions from others. I have high regard for Ms. Squire, just as you admired Anya back then-"

"You stop right there!" That name seemed to hit a nerve with Whitney. "You're not worthy of mentioning Anya!"

"I'm not worthy, but are you?" Wilfred's voice trembled as he suppressed his inner turmoil. "Back then, Anya and I were in love, but what did you do in the middle of it all?"

"Everything I did was for her own good!" Whitney's emotions flared. "Her career was on the rise at that time. She couldn't sacrifice her future for a relationship! I admit that arranging for her to study abroad was to keep her away from you.

"But if you genuinely loved her, you shouldn't have tried to hinder her, let alone let her get pregnant before marriage and leave her in a completely passive place!

"Wilfred, Anya's death is on you!"

Wilfred clenched his fists, his hands involuntarily trembling.

It was then Delilah rushed in anxiously and grabbed him. Her voice was low and urgent. "Wilfred... Harvey is missing..."

Wilfred was already seething with anger, and Delilah's appearance provided him with an outlet for his pent-up frustration. He swung around violently, gritting his teeth. "What do you mean, missing? Did he run off to play somewhere? Can such a grown person simply disappear?"

"No, he really-"

"It's better if he's dead!" Wilfred roared.

Delilah trembled, staring blankly at him. Although she did not favor Harvey either and considered him a mistake, he was still her biological child. She was quite anxious about Harvey's disappearance.

It was Jodie who had come running to inform her about Harvey. Jodie had mentioned that Harvey had been with Toph all this while, but they were both nowhere to be found after the banquet had ended. Jodie had also said, "Mom, Harvey has figured out about my background. He isn't with a doctor now. What if he gets emotional and tells the Toph about this? We'll be in big trouble then."

Delilah suddenly found it true. Thus, the worry of their secret being revealed entirely overwhelmed her concern for her son.

"Wilfred!" Delilah pleaded softly, "Can't you... send someone to look for him?"
