Cupid’s Arrow Hit On Me by Mr. Adeel

The Trap Anthony came into his grandfather’s room with the Buddha statue. He placed the statue on a

table, and then turned his wheelchair and stopped in front of the bed. The old man lying in bed instantly

saw what Anthony brought in, and he looked at his grandson with loving eyes. “I don’t know if you’ve

noticed it, but Raymond is growing a little too big for his britches. Don’t you think?” The moment

Michael mentioned Raymond’s name, he couldn’t conceal his disgust. “Well, how long are you going to

let him boast around acting all mighty?” As Michael continued talking, Anthony gently poured a cup of

water for his grandfather. “He’s only in charge of the family business by name. It’s not like he can really

do whatever he wants.”

The business the Wilson family ran was divided into two major factions—the core business and the

periphery business. On the surface, what most people saw was the periphery business. Although it

seemed to flaunt the family’s influence and resources, it actually had little value. However, the core

business was the one that served as the center of actual power and wealth of the family. On top of that,

it was highly classified. It was too critical that people like Raymond weren’t even qualified enough to

know about its existence. “Still, I can’t help but feel sorry for you…” Michael said softly as he lowered

his head. Some time ago, the Wilson family underwent drastic changes. It all began when Michael got

injured and hospitalized, and Anthony became a cripple. For most people, what they knew was that this

happened because of Anthony’s poor judgment. He failed to foresee their enemies’ plan, making him

and his grandfather fall victims to the trap laid out for them. In the end, Michael was injured and he

himself became disabled for the rest of his life. Then, in Michael’s anger, he decided that Anthony

wasn’t worthy of becoming the heir of the Wilson family anymore. This meant that he would have to

select another heir from the Wilsons. Although this was supposed to be just a rumor, there was a pretty

powerful piece of evidence pointing out its credibility. This was when Michael arranged Anthony’s

marriage to the daughter of a “humble” family, The Jenkins might have a reputation that was much

greater than average families in Sheffield, but their social status was still far down compared to the

Wilson family. But no one knew that behind all these rumors, the one actually pulling the strings to

spread

them was none other than Anthony himself. “Is it not time to draw the net up?” Michael asked, hinting at

the possibility of taking action. However, Anthony just shook his head and uttered, “Don’t be too worried

about Raymond. He’s just a clown who won’t be able to do anything against me. There are still some

people who are lurking in the dark. We have to sniff them out first. If they are going to play a waiting

game, I can be patient.” Seeing the confidence in Anthony’s eyes, Michael also felt assured. Most

times, in wealthy families, the family members valued the benefits that they could obtain more than

having a harmonious relationship with everyone. In fact, in order to guarantee his inheritance right,

Raymond contacted the Wilson family’s rivals and colluded with them. They plotted to kill both Michael

and Anthony, the master and the heir of the Wilson family at that time. He was so blinded by greed that

he didn’t care how unforgivable his action was. Because of this, Anthony decided to put on this show in

order to reorganize the Wilson family. Of course, he and Michael were in on it together. “I also heard

that the Jenkins family adopted a country girl to replace their daughter to marry you. Is that true?”

Michael let out a frown, thinking that Bill wasn’t being grateful to them.

Even though Bill tried his hardest to secretly manipulate the situation in his favor, his movements

wouldn’t escape Michael’s intelligence network. “It’s my fault that we cannot find out the true identity of

the person who tipped us off… But I didn’t expect that Bill would pull off something like this. That man

can be a wily fox.” “It doesn’t really matter.”

Anthony waved his hand, his tone very indifferent. “In fact, I think it’s good that my bride is going to be

a girl from a small town in the countryside. At least I’d know for sure that she has a clean background.”

It was true that with Raymond’s help, the enemies of the Wilson family managed to ambush Michael.

However, Anthony managed to save him at the most crucial moment. Moreover, the only reason why

Anthony could come and save Michael in the nick of time was that he had received a mysterious tip

about their enemies’ plan.

The Wilson family boasted a lot of resources and high-end technology, but they still couldn’t locate the

person who sent the information that saved Michael. The only thing they could confirm was that the

information was sent from the small town in the countryside where the poor Jenkins families lived.

Although the person was adamant about revealing their identity, Michael found out about Bill Jenkins

through thorough investigations. It turned out that he was the only Jenkins from that town who now

lived in Sheffield. Coincidentally. Bill had a daughter. After conducting a background check, they

learned that

Tivían seemed to meet all the standards of an eligible lady. Therefore, on a whim, Michael made an

arrangement to set up an engagement between Vivian and Anthony. However, Anthony was busy with

other affairs at that time, so he didn’t know that Michael was planning something like this. Nonetheless,

he didn’t object or say anything even after earning about the engagement. He simply began to spread

the rumor that he was stripped of the right to become the heir of the Wilson family and that he ended

up being permanently disabled because of the ambush. He actually thought that Bill would propose to

cancel the engagement after hearing about che rumors. But it came as a surprise that because he

didn’t dare offend the Wilson family, ne actually adopted a new daughter to make the situation still

favorable for him. “Anyway… Anthony, you know that arranging this engagement for you at that time

was just an impulse of mine. If you want, we can always call it off…” Michael thought that as he grew

older, his decision-making skills got poorer. Because of this engagement, he assumed that he made

unnecessary trouble for Anthony. Now, he wanted to cancel the engagement. The only problem was

that if the Wilson family took the initiative to propose its withdrawal, it would inevitably make them lose

face. If they pushed through with it, they would have to properly apologize to Bill for the inconvenience

they caused. However, it seemed that Anthony had a different idea in mind. He shook his head and

advised, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it myself.”
