Betrayed by Fiance, Embraced by Hidden Tycoon-Chapter 209: I Will Help You!

"I can help you meet Andy Bennet, but whatever decision he makes, I can’t interfere. I’m just his friend and have no connection to his company." Sayer stated.

"Understood, little bro. That’s exactly what I want," Angela answered, her eyes excitedly shining. She was determined to convince Andy to collaborate with her company. "Can I meet him now?"

Sawyer quickly declined to arrange a meeting with Andy.

"Well, I’m sorry. Not right now, sis. He’s here for personal reasons, and it would seem unprofessional if you insisted on meeting him now."

Angela nodded, understanding Sawyer’s perspective. "I agree with you. But please make sure it happens within this week."

"Okay, I will try. Sis, you can go back now," Sawyer replied, rising from his seat. He had left the backyard too long and was worried someone might be looking for him. He didn’t have the energy to explain his wedding to Angela.

Before Sawyer headed to the door, he turned to her. He said, "Sis, I hope you keep your promise not to tell anyone about this house, especially Mother and Harvey!"

"You have my word, Sawyer Jones! I will never reveal anything about this place..." Angela smiled as she walked with him to the door.

While in the backyard,

Walter Jones struggled to ignore and set aside his confusion. How could James Philips walk Abigail down the aisle?

He tried to ask his father for answers a few times, but his father didn’t give him the response he had hoped for; he only gave him an ambiguous answer.

Unable to shake his curiosity, Walter excused himself from the table and walked home, eager to speak with his son, Sawyer.

He desperately wanted to discover more and hoped Sawyer would give the answers he sought.

However, just as he was about to enter the house, Paul stopped him.

"Sir, do you need something? You can wait at your seat; I will get it for you," Paul said, trying to remain calm and avoid raising any suspicions.

Walter smiled at Paul, standing in his way. "No, I don’t need anything, Paul. I just need to see my son. There’s something important I need to discuss. Can you please move aside?"

Paul gritted his teeth silently, knowing he couldn’t let Walter in. He recalled his boss’s warning to prohibit anyone from entering the front area, especially his parents and grandparents. He was particularly anxious about the possibility of them meeting Angela.

"Sir, I’m sorry, but Mr. Sawyer is busy with work. He will be back soon to join the others. You can talk to him later," Paul said, gesturing for Walter to return to the garden.

Walter arched an eyebrow, suspicious of Paul’s unusual demeanor. ’He must be hiding something, right!?’

"Paul, step aside—" Walter insisted.

"But, sir—"

Walter patted Paul’s shoulder. "I need to use the restroom! Are you really going to stop me from going!?" He raised his voice, clearly displeased.

Paul quickly adjusted his expression to one of calmness.

"Sir, this way..." he said, leading him to the restroom while praying that Sawyer and Angela didn’t leave the study room; otherwise, Walter would see Angela.

Just before Walter walked toward the bathroom, he noticed Sawyer approaching from the front area. His eyes sparkled with happiness as he looked at his son because he didn’t have to feign an excuse to go to the toilet; he could simply talk with him now.

Walter stopped and asked, "Sawyer, have you finished your work? I have something I need to discuss."

Walter’s question caused Paul’s face to tense up. He quickly turned to see if Walter had noticed his boss or if he was trying to catch him off guard.

When Sawyer approached them alone, Paul felt relief—they had been saved; Angela Jones had already left.

Sawyer frowned slightly as he observed his irritated father and Paul, who appeared anxious and worried.

"Yes, Dad. What would you like to discuss?" Sawyer asked, halting before his father and gesturing for Paul to leave them alone.

"Son, I need to ask you something important. But just now, Paul mentioned that you were busy and couldn’t be interrupted," Walter said irritably as he watched Paul walk away.

"Yes, I’m handling a few urgent tasks, Dad. What do you need from me?" Sawyer replied.

"Please, son. Spare your father here a minute of your time. Come, let’s sit down..." Walter smiled and walked toward the living room.

The room had been rearranged back to its original setup. No more guest chairs faced the altar as they had before. What remained was just the altar, the decorative lights hanging from the ceiling, and fresh flowers in a few spots.

"What is it, Dad?" Sawyer asked, sitting across from his father. He could see the curiosity in his father’s gaze.

Walter Jones’s expression slowly became stiff as he asked, "Why did you ask James Philips to walk Abigail down the aisle? Did you forget he is Serena’s grandfather? Did Abigail know about that? Aren’t you worried she might be angry with you if she finds out?" He finally felt relieved to express his thoughts.

Sawyer had calmed down slightly after Angela left his house without meeting their parents and grandparents. Still, now he felt tense again after hearing his father’s question.

He had no intention of hiding Abigail’s relationship with James Philips. Still, he planned to explain it later after his friends went home and only family remained.

"Dad, I’ll explain everything later," Sawyer replied, standing up from his seat, surprising Walter, who also stood.

"Why didn’t you explain it now? What are you hiding from me? Did you make a deal with Philips, which is why you allowed him to attend this wedding?" Walter tried to stop Sawyer from returning to the backyard.

Sawyer halted in his tracks and turned to face his father. Seeing the intensity of his father’s anger, he hurriedly explained, "Dad, not now. Please be patient! I promise I’ll explain when the whole family is gathered."

Walter let out a deep sigh as he watched his son walk away. He said nothing more and followed Sawyer to the backyard.
