Victoria's words made William have to admit that he did have a relationship with Victoria, and it was not an ordinary relationship.
After thinking about it silently in his heart, he understood that what Victoria said was probably true, because Henry was already in his 30s when he married his grandmother. No one knew if Henry had a lover before. At that time, many people thought that Henry had a mental problem. Otherwise, why didn't he get married in his 30s?
Seeing Victoria again, William's heart was not as cold as before. He wanted to know why Henry broke up with Victoria, and it seemed that the two had not gone through the divorce procedures after breaking up.
"Tell me what I want to know, Victoria. This will decide whether I will help you or not."
Victoria smiled and said, "Sit down and talk, child. Let's talk slowly."
William looked helplessly at Victoria, who was not anxious at all. He began to admire these old guys who had worked in the secret service for decades. He took a sip and poured a new cup of coffee for Victoria. He waited calmly for Victoria to speak.
Victoria took a few sips of coffee slowly. Seeing that William calmed down so quickly, she was very happy. "Very good, child. It seems that your psychological quality is good."
As long as they were not related by blood, William did not care. Even if they were related by blood, he had to see if it was worth his concern. It was impossible for William to be devoted to any random relative, so he was not in a hurry now. It should be Victoria who was in a hurry.
Victoria hesitated for a long time. When she saw that William was not anxious at all, she sighed in her heart. He was indeed the successor cultivated by the dead Henry. He was very ruthless.
"Well, child, you win. I don't have time to be long-winded. Henry and I are husband and wife, not husband and wife." Victoria took a sip of coffee as she said this. She glanced at William's face and saw that William still did not care.
He held his own coffee cup and slowly tasted the coffee he made like Victoria, as if he was drinking some delicacy.
"Little Fox" Victoria put down the coffee cup helplessly and said, "Henry and I were both in the secret service. I was in the field and did killing work, and Henry was just getting better at that time, so Henry and I got married in secret. However, 2 years later, my boss still noticed something.
In order to test my loyalty, my boss gave me a mission. The target was my husband, your grandfather. "
After hearing this, William's face showed some expression. He put down the coffee cup and waited for Victoria to continue because it was obvious that his grandfather, Henry, was still alive at that time.
"Fortunately, no one knew that Henry and I were married. But if I didn't kill Henry, I would have to die. So, I took the risk of being exposed and found a substitute boyfriend.
When my boss was impatient, you fired three shots at the substitute in front of him. So, William, your Devonshire family owes me a life. Now, I need you to pay me back. "
William chuckled, sat up straight, and said, "Sorry, Victoria, this is just what you said. Henry has passed away, and I can't confirm whether what you said is true or not. The words of you special agents can't be taken seriously."
"I knew you would say that." Victoria took out her phone and dialed a number. After a few beeps, William heard a voice that surprised him. "Good morning, Victoria. I'm looking for a private job again."
"Good morning, Winston. Sorry, I'm not in the mood to take private jobs recently. I'm at William's house," Victoria said.
"What?" Winston's anxious voice came from the phone. "Why are you looking for William? Don't forget that we have an agreement. Do you want to be hunted down? Victoria Winslow. "
"Whatever. My child is in trouble, and I need William's help. Don't tell me you think the founding declaration is not in William's hands. Others may not know what William has done, but I know very well. Winston, don't forget who was the one who dealt with those who threatened William and Lena in the past ten years.
In the two years that they gave up, I never gave up on protecting this little guy, so I know very well what happened to him this year. Do you think I'll believe that William, who can hide from everyone's surveillance and endure for ten years, will be involved in the founding declaration for no reason?
If he doesn't have the founding declaration, will he deliberately act like he doesn't care about the treasure? "
"So, Ben Gatz is your son? That's really surprising, Victoria. "Winston thought for a few seconds and said," Okay, give the phone to William. "
"No, I can hear you." William looked at Victoria differently now. Based on Henry's and Winston's cautious personalities, letting Victoria, who was married to Henry, deal with those who wanted to contact or threaten William and his mother, Lena, was indeed the most suitable person.
"I'm sorry, William. Henry told me not to let you know about Victoria. He didn't want you to have a stain on him."
"Thank you, it's okay, Winston. I understand. I just want to know if Victoria has been protecting me and my mother for the past ten years. I don't care about Henry's private affairs."
Winston heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought that William wasn't a loyal person himself, so it was normal that he didn't care about Henry's ex-wife.
"Okay, I've been in charge of intelligence and surveillance for the past ten years, and Victoria has been in charge of the assassination. She used to be an ace assassin in the Military Intelligence Agency, and she's Henry's wife. Most importantly, no one would think that a female university professor who was in her fifties ten years ago and is now in her sixties would be an assassin."
"Oh, Winston, be careful with your words. I'm only 63 years old. I'm not old at all," Victoria said angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Victoria. You don't look old at all. I was wrong. You're a professor in her sixties. I apologize again, Victoria."
William was a little surprised by Winston's tone and attitude. It seemed that Winston was a little afraid of Victoria. He did not know if it was because Victoria was Henry's wife or because Victoria had some ability that made Winston apprehensive.
But who cares? William found Victoria much more pleasing to the eye now. He suddenly felt that the old lady in front of him was very kind and amiable. "Okay, Winston, let's talk later. I still have some things to talk about with Victoria."
Winston also understood that William must have something to talk about with Victoria. "Okay, let's talk next time. Goodbye, Victoria, William."
"Goodbye, Winston," William said.
"Goodbye. The next time we meet, I'll remind you what to pay attention to when you talk, Winston. Don't forget that I'm your aunt."
"Oh, goodbye, Victoria." Winston immediately hung up.
Victoria smiled at William and said, "I met Winston before your grandmother, so he used to call me aunt."
"Okay, Victoria. Thank you for protecting me all these years. Tell me, what do you need me to do?" William could not be cruel to someone who had protected him and his mother for ten years.
