Chapter 727 Ilia Awakens
Old Wilson had also sent people to keep an eye on Albert to prevent him from escaping.
There was no way for them, father and son, to escape.
Seeing the evidence in Yan Huai's hand, George confirmed his prediction that Caesar had indeed planned it.
After Yan Huai left the interrogation room, he went straight to old Wilson's office.
When he pushed the door open, old Wilson was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back to the door, holding a glass of amber whiskey in his hand. The sky outside the window was covered with dark clouds, as if reflecting the undercurrents surging within the family at the moment.
"Father." Yan Huai said in a low voice.
Old Wilson turned around and raised his hand slightly, motioning him to sit down. "What did Ilia say?"
Yan Huai placed the USB drive containing the recording file on the table and said, "Listen to it yourself."
Old Wilson looked at the USB drive on the table and asked, "What do you think is going on?"
Yan Huai knew that he was asking about Ilia's betrayal.
He said, "Maybe... Ilia saw through Noah and Alice's true colors and used their tricks against them."
"You really think so?"
Yan Huai smiled faintly and did not answer.
Of course not.
He also believed that they were not careful enough and that Ilia had somehow learned of their plan, which led to their betrayal.
However, since Ilia did not harm him and even helped him, he could not express such speculation.
Although, without Ilia's help, he could still take down Noah and his son.
Old Wilson dialed an internal line and told his secretary, Allen, "There's nothing more to do with Ilia here. Please take her back to the hospital."
Alan on the other end of the phone responded.
Yan Huai reported Noah's confession to Old Wilson again.
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door and Allen's voice, "Chairman, Miss Ilia wants to see you."
Old Wilson and Yan Huai looked at each other and said, "Let her in."
The office door opened, revealing Ilia's uneasy face.
Ilia was sitting in a wheelchair and was slowly pushed into the office by Allen.
Her fingers were tightly twisting the corner of her hospital gown, her pale lips were trembling slightly, and her eyes quickly dropped when they met Yan Huai.
"dad."
"Ilia, what do you want to see Dad about?"
Ilia glanced at the USB drive on the table and asked, "Have you listened to those recordings?"
"Not yet, Ilia." Old Wilson's tone was slightly reproachful. "Kid, you know so much, why didn't you tell Dad earlier? And you even made this trip. Don't you know you're not fit to be discharged from the hospital yet?"
He had originally planned to ask Ilia these questions privately when he was done at the hospital, but since she was there, he asked her in front of Yan Huai.
Ilia glanced at Yan Huai, lowered her head, and looked at her toes. "Dad, actually...actually, everything I said in the recording is true. During that time, I really...really hated my brother so much that I wanted to drive him away and never let him come back..."
The office was very quiet.
Ilia choked up, "...My brother used to be so good to me, doting on me and indulging me, but that time, he suddenly locked me up in the police station. I was scared to death..."
Her voice gradually faded, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the armrests of her wheelchair. "During the month or so I spent at the police station... every day I wondered why my brother treated me like this... As I thought about it, I became extremely extreme and hated my brother so much."
Old Wilson was heartbroken when he heard this. “Ilia, you’ve suffered.”
Ilia raised her head and looked at him with tearful eyes. She glanced at Yan Huai again, closed her eyes, and said with a determined heart, "Actually, my previous mental illness and fear... were also pretended, just... just to drive my brother away."
Old Wilson had known about this for a long time.
But the look of surprise on his face was not fake.
I was surprised that Ilia would confess this.
Ilia: "When the psychiatrist was treating me, I didn't answer at all and I never took the medicine he prescribed, which caused Mom to misunderstand that the doctor was incompetent. But I treated my brother so badly, and he still didn't hold a grudge and hired an authoritative psychiatrist for me. Brother, I'm sorry! You were so good to me, but I turned my back on you. I know I was wrong about you. Can you please forgive me?"
Yan Huai walked slowly to Ilia, knelt on one knee and looked at her at eye level.
His slender fingers gently wiped away the tears on her face: "Silly girl, you are my sister, how could your brother really be angry with you?"
From beginning to end, he didn't look at old Wilson once, but he knew that old Wilson was looking at him.
Ilia: "The better my brother treated me, the more ashamed I felt. At the time, Alice seized on my extreme heart and constantly instilled her hatred in me, causing me to hate my brother even more. I almost followed their orders and made a big mistake. It wasn't until I was in a car accident not long ago and saw my mother's heartbreak that I realized that our family's harmony and health are the most important thing."
Old Wilson nodded with satisfaction, his eyes slightly red. He reached out and gently patted his daughter's shoulder: "Ilia, I'm glad you think this way."
"It's all my fault. I made my father worry."
"Okay, stop crying. It hurts me," said Old Wilson. "Dad will let Allen take you back to the hospital. Have a good rest. After get off work, your brother and I will come to see you."
"Okay." Ilia wiped the tears from her face and was about to press the button of the wheelchair. Yan Huai stepped forward, came behind her and walked her out.
"By the way, brother, remember to apologize to Miss Tang on my behalf. I was too willful at that time and I feel very sorry for her."
"Yes, I will."
Yan Huai sent Ilia out of the office and handed her to Allen.
Watching Alan pushing Ilia away, Yan Huai narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had a premonition that it would be difficult to send Ilia away.
Returning to the office, Yan Huai saw Old Wilson deep in thought. When he saw him come in, he looked up at him and sighed, "Ilia really exceeded my expectations this time."
"It's a rare moment for her to be smart." Yan Huai sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Caesar, I think we should put aside the matter of sending Ilia away for now." Old Wilson said carefully, observing Yan Huai's expression carefully.
According to the original plan, Ilia would be liquidated along with Noah and Albert and would be rejected by her tribe. Sending her to another place to live a stable life would be a good idea.
But now, not only is she not the one who leaked the secret, she is also the hero who caught the traitor, so there is no need to send her away.
"I was just about to tell you this. It's great that Ilia can figure it out. She's my sister. If I had no other choice, I wouldn't have offered to send her away."
Old Wilson nodded.
He knew that except for the last time when Ilia hurt Tang Shishi and made Caesar angry, Caesar was almost impeccable towards Ilia at other times.
