A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 68

"However, I don't think there's any company that doesn't try to avoid paying more taxes. Aren't there legal ways to avoid tax?"

"Yes! All companies enforce tax avoidance. An accountant that doesn't know how to reduce tax is not qualified to be an accountant. Damon will definitely feel pressured to prove that he did not evade tax. Therefore, he would come clean about his bank account and assets."

"Then Mr. Bennett will take the opportunity to record verbal evidence?" Alina's eyes shone in realization. 

"Smart, you got it!" Wilson smiled at Alina.

He really liked seeing her eyes shining brightly like stars when she was happy. 

Alina continued in excitement. "After that, Mr. Bennett would show that he had recorded the conversation and force Damon to return the money to Rosie. Otherwise, he would be brought to court?" 

"Yes." Wilson nodded.

"Mr. Bennett is so smart. Who would have thought!" 

"Everyone is an expert in their own field. Mr. Bennett wouldn't know where to plant a tree."

Alina laughed loudly in amusement.

Wilson's heart was moved by Alina. It was a wonderful feeling. He found that he liked seeing Alina happy. He loved to see her smile. It didn't matter whether it was a gentle smile or laughing out loud, as long as she was happy. 

"Shall we help prepare the ingredients?" Alina suggested.

"No!" Wilson immediately refused.

Wilson really couldn't imagine himself barbecuing at the grill in a suit. Before this, he was only in charge of eating. 

Alina saw Rosie busy helping out from a distance. "Then should I'll go and accompany Rosie?"

"Let's go later. I want to talk to you about Grandfather's likes and dislikes." Wilson didn't realize that he just did not want to let go of Alina's hand. He longed for the warmth from her fingertips. It was comforting and warm to hold her hand in his.

After Alina appeared in his world, Wilson no longer wanted to be alone. When he was alone, he felt particularly lonely. He liked the feeling of being by her side.

"Yes." Alina nodded vigorously. "Coincidently, I want to pick out a birthday present for Grandfather as well."

Wilson took Alina by the hand and walked to a small garden at the west side of Jayden's house.

At this time of the year, all kinds of chrysanthemums were blooming beautifully in the garden.

Wilson said slowly, "As Grandfather became older, he prefers peace and quiet. His favourite pastime is reading. He likes flowers, especially chrysanthemums and orchids."

"No wonder there are so many chrysanthemums planted around the Scott villa." 

"Besides that, Grandfather likes to have us around to accompany him," Wilson said as he peeked at Alina. He saw her deep in thought, her face frowning. A scheming smile appeared on his lips.

He added fuel to the fire. "Grandfather has always hoped that someone would be willing to stay by his side out of sincerity. Someone who really cares about his health, and not because they wanted to curry favour to get the company's shares."

The face of Lincoln Scott appeared in Alina's mind. She suddenly felt that he was a pitiful old man. She blurted out, "Let's accompany Grandfather on his birthday then."

"Okay." Wilson nodded.

He tried to hide his smile. If he made it too obvious, the naive girl might find out that she had been tricked by him. 

"I'll explain to you about the other family members. My grandfather has two sons, my uncle and my father. My uncle has two sons and a daughter. I have introduced them to you before. My father had me and my younger sister, Silvia. She works as a clothing designer, but she is currently studying for her master's. After graduation, she will take over the Scott Group's fashion department. Nancy is a budding actress. Lucas and Colton are running the company."
