Chapter 63 The Only One

William didn’t show any expression on his face as usual. When he arrived at the meeting place with Elias, he found Elias wolfing down a taco.

William glanced at him before taking a seat.

Seeing William, Elias gestured toward the files on the table and mumbled, “The information you want is there. Read them yourself. I haven’t eaten since last night, and I’m starving.”

“No one at home cooked for you? Wasn’t your mom supposed to find you a wife?” William casually remarked as he picked up a file and started flipping through it.

Just thinking of the woman who had moved into his house as his fiancée made him sick to his stomach. Elias threw the taco back into the bag, wiped his hands with a tissue, and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

“She could be my aunt. She’s five years older than me. I really don’t know what’s wrong with my mom for having me marry that woman.

“All she wants is the inheritance my mom holds. I’ll just take it as having an extra housekeeper after marrying her… Okay, let’s not talk about her.”

Elias looked at William. “Why do you suddenly want information on these small companies? Aren’t these insignificant in front of Cloudex?”

“It sounds like you’re trying to acquire a small company, not for yourself but for someone else.” Elias, intrigued by the secrecy, asked. “For whom?”

Thinking of Emelie, who was leaving the company soon, he teased, “Are you planning to give Ms. Hoven a company so she can be her own boss?”
