After borrowing some money from his brother, Samuel Watson, William started working.
First, he installed a camera in the bedroom while Emma was not at home.
It was on the top floor of the bookshelf, Emma, who was petite, would need to step on a stool to reach it.
It is the best place to place it.
Then he hid the wireless network in his home.
This makes the camera difficult to detect.
Emma is computer illiterate.
She only knows how to watch movies online.
It'll be hard for her to spot.
Then, after Emma came home at night, he found an excuse to go out and got into their car.
Put a small listening device in it.
Thanks to the omnipotent Internet age.
These very professional items are not difficult to obtain.
To prevent Emma from spotting a problem, William took the initiative to admit his mistake after returning home. In front of Emma, he called Olivia to apologize.
Today, he had exploded.
A lot of the depressive feelings in his heart disappeared.
All that was left, was to proceed step by step and steadily.
Put himself in a favorable position where he can advance, attack, retreat, and defend.
If Emma is willing to renew her relationship with him, and can clean herself up and stop contacting her lover.
For Emily's sake, William is willing to continue living with her.
Children should not have to bear the cost of their parents' mistakes.
Even after Emily becomes an adult at eighteen, they can get divorced then!
William can bear it for the sake of his child!
Although many self-help clichés criticize the practice of keeping a marriage on life support for the sake of the children.
But those who are not in such a difficult situation would not be able to understand his feelings.
Given two walls of the house are broken, do you think the remaining walls should be smashed? Or should it be repaired for it to work serving its purpose?
Especially, considering that a seedling is growing inside the wall and needs care.
Can you guarantee that there will be no leaks when rebuilding a new house? That it won't collapse?
What if the marriage cannot be saved.
William will do his best to get Emily's custody rights and then get a new life in another city.
Who cares whatever visitation rights you have.
The moment she cheated, Emma had already given up her responsibilities.
William had no intention of giving her a chance to see her daughter.
Some people don't know how to cherish, so let her taste the feeling of loss.
William couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about the future, with only the father and daughter, the two of them, to depend on each other.
Without a complete family, his daughter will definitely encounter problems growing up.
But there was really little he could do.
Perhaps seeing William's attitude softening, or perhaps feeling a twinge of guilt, Emma did not continue pressing him.
To maintain his consistency, William cooked a meal himself.
Only when he started eating did he realize that he had forgotten to add salt to the dishes.
They were tasteless.
Just like the days with him acting.
However, there are always bright spots on bleak days.
William found a job.
The very next morning, he received a call.
William had dealt with this person before when he was the vice president of Starlight Group
He was a boss.
His name is Caleb Lincoln.
When Chairman Lincoln was doing business with Starlight Group, he once wanted William to follow him.
William, who has been in the workplace for a long time, naturally knows that this kind of thing cannot be taken seriously.
The other party wanted something from him and wanted to take advantage of him for business, so he pretended to poach.
If William really changed his job.
The result would have been different from expected.
If the protection was not insufficient, Caleb would turn his back and deny knowing him.
Pushing him out.
But now, William has nothing, and the other party is taking the initiative to extend a helping hand.
This moved him very much.
After some phone calls, William was confident to meet Caleb Lincoln.
He must have a career and money.
Only then can we slowly advance his plan to get revenge.
It will be worth the wait.
William is willing to wait.
The position of assistant to the president of Faithview Group, haha, just wait!
After arriving at Caleb's company, William met him.
William secretly admired him in his heart.
In less than two years, Caleb's company has significantly expanded in size.
Previously, his company's office was outside the Fourth Ring Road.
Now, it has been moved closer to the Second Ring Road.
And rented an entire floor of office space.
William said a few words of praise sincerely.
Caleb smiled and said, "It's because everyone takes care of me!"
That's what a businessman is like.
Then, Caleb brought William into the conference room.
All the middle and upper management of the company were present.
William was flattered.
He thought he would need to start from scratch when he came here.
However, it was obvious that Caleb was directly planning to arrange a position for him.
After a round of business praise, applause greeted William in the conference room.
Everyone had a warm smile on their face.
But in William's opinion, there seemed to be a hidden meaning in the smile.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
William thought to himself.
I have nothing and there's nothing to lose.
Is it possible that these adults would intentionally create problems for him?
There is no conflict of interest between them, so why would they do such a thing?
"Brother, we all know your abilities. To be honest, you can even hold the position of vice president of our company!" Caleb was very generous.
William was startled and waved his hands repeatedly.
This was not the time for commercial flattery.
None of this should be said.
How can he be the vice president?
Then doesn’t the vice president of Funland Company need to die?
If these words fall into other people's ears, they will easily make him enemies.
Fortunately, Caleb also said it.
"William, he spent a year in jail!" Caleb said seemingly casually.
William's expression froze.
Finally, this issue was brought up.
Before joining the company, of course, you must clearly explain your past.
This is William’s moral integrity.
The expressions of the middle-ranking and high-ranking people below slightly stiffened.
"A year in prison is nothing!" A young man
The man smiled and said, "All of us who hang out in the business circle, who has a clean butt?"
William was a little unhappy.
He was indeed implicated by the company.
However, he couldn't open his mouth to refute.
The young man sat in the first chair on the right.
He is probably the president or vice president.
Colleague relationships are always important.
"Vice President Lawson, William was implicated by his previous company!" Caleb said with a smile.
"I'm sorry!" Vice President Lawson apologized with a smile.
William naturally couldn't say anything.
This Caleb Lincoln is indeed a veteran.
In the first sentence, he criticized William a bit.
In his second sentence, he helped save his dignity.
William has no way to complain about him.
"William, you will first be an assistant to Vice President Lawson. If you encounter any difficulty, we can discuss it as it comes! After the business develops, I will open a separate department for you!"
What else could William say?
He can only thank him.
After the meeting, Vice President Lawson chatted with William with a smile on his face.
To be honest, seeing that he became a vice president before the age of thirty, William felt a little sour.
If he was not implicated, his future would have been bright.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
The chat with Vice President Lawson went very smoothly.
It also surprised William.
He thought his job would be very tedious.
After all, being a vice president means being a laborer who shoulders blame and a scapegoat.
As you can imagine, the work assigned by Vice President Lawson was very simple.
Commute to and end work on time every day, emphasizing punctuality.
There was no need to work overtime.
And the monthly salary starts at 20,000 dollars.
Although the salary gap is quite big compared to before.
But he was released after serving his sentence.
To be able to achieve this level could even make you laugh out in your dreams.
The key was that he joined the company on the 14th, and the next day was the salary day.
The monthly salary would be paid in full.
This moved William inexplicably.
Chairman Lincoln was very thoughtful.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
After working for two consecutive days, William sat for a full sixteen hours.
He handled some matters for Vice President Lawson and made several trips to report and delegate matters.
Then he sat in the office in a daze.
He has been using various resources to investigate the lover's background.
But so far, there has been little progress.
William is not in a hurry.
If it was so easy to take down the assistant to the president of a large group, there would be no war in the world, and there would be peace.
However, during the investigation, William also kept a watchful eye.
He never used the company's computer and only used his mobile phone.
Including asking people to make phone calls, he would avoid others.
William always had a feeling that the process of getting this job was too easy.
Moreover, there was no reason for Caleb to pay him 20,000 dollars monthly to support an idle person like him.
Either he just hasn't figured out how to arrange things for him yet.
Or that something big is waiting for him.
Sure enough, on the third day of work, something big happened.
