Abbie finally stopped after she was pulled away by Raymond and a group of people. Talitha, who was beaten, was injured seriously to the extent that blood was all over her face. She was then sent to a hospital for treatment hurriedly.
Her pretty face was no longer recognizable, with big black bruises around her eyes and a swollen face. Not only that, but her nose and mouth were broken too, and they were bleeding profusely. She looked utterly terrible!
After Raymond had sent Talitha to the hospital, he did not dare call Raelyn to inform her about what happened. Raelyn was very protective of the people who were close to her, so she would definitely seek revenge on Abbie if she were to see Talitha’s miserable appearance. By then, it would make matters worse, so it was better to tell Archer and Gavin about this first.
As he though about this, Raymond called Archer and Gavin to inform them about what happened. When Archer and Gavin heard about the news, the both of them were very surprised that Abbie and Talitha had had a conflict.
After a short discussion between the two, they decided to not inform Raelyn about it. Instead, they called William to tell him about this matter.
Meanwhile, William had just taken a shower and was talking to Valeria, who still hadn’t received any reply from Abbie. “So? Is your best friend still ignoring you? You’d better surrender by admitting that you’re wrong, then we can have some fun.”
“Don’t even think about it!” Valeria rolled her eyes at him.
Suddenly, a call from Archer came in, and William was shocked after learning about what happened between Abbie and Talitha. “I’ll call Richard right now.”
After hearing the news, Valeria quickly changed as she couldn’t wait anymore and she had to go to Abbie immediately. At the same time, William was calling Richard while leaving with her too. After Valeria got in the car, she finally managed to reach Abbie on the phone.
“Abbie, are you okay? Did she hit you?”
“No, there’re a few scratches on my hands, and my newly polished nails were ruined, but I hit that b*tch until she couldn’t stand. I don’t think she would be able to appear at your party on the day after tomorrow. You shouldn’t have to worry now, Valeria.”
Valeria was glad, but was worried about Abbie too after hearing that. “Where are you? I’ll be right there.”
Meanwhile, after Raelyn and Paisley parted ways, she called Savannah. “I have something important to tell you. Let’s meet somewhere.”
Savannah agreed without hesitation. “Alright, I have something I need to discuss with you too. But it’s not convenient for us to talk outside. I’m in my brother’s house right now. He isn’t at home, and the servants are on holiday. You could come over.”
Raelyn hadn’t wanted to meet her outside either. After all, there were too many pairs of eyes and ears out there, so it would be better to go to Charles’ house to talk about it since nobody would be there.
She had brought two bodyguards with her to prevent her conversation with Savannah from being overheard.
She ordered them to stay inside the car to keep watch while she entered the villa alone.
Savannah was getting impatient from waiting for Raelyn’s arrival, so when she saw Raelyn step through the front door, she immediately stood up and said, “Let’s go to my room.”
The both of them quickly went upstairs and closed the door behind them. Raelyn was the one who spoke first, “What’s the matter?”
“Yesterday, I gave my father some supplements that were mixed with the drug you gave me. I’m a bit worried. You said that the poison would work slowly, right? So does that mean that he wouldn’t die immediately?”
“Yes!” Raelyn nodded.
“However, I think it’s too slow. If he doesn’t eat it, or only consumes it once every few days, then I would have to wait for a long time! Do you have a kind of drug that has fast effects? Like the one that was used to kill Paxton?”
“Yes, but that drug can only be used through intravenous injection. You won’t have the chance to do that to your dad, right?”
“Then what should I do? I can’t wait any longer!” Savannah looked despair when she said that.
“Savannah, I came here to tell you something urgent. It’s about Mason. He is now siding with my brother.”
“That little b*stard actually knows to look for someone to back him up! I’ve really underestimated him.”
“He is not that important, though. In fact, someone important cause trouble today. That’s why your dad is beginning to suspect you.”
“What? How did you know about this?” Savannah asked in shock.
“I’ve heard about it from somewhere. It’s William. He took the supplements that you sent over for an inspection.”
“Sh*t. What should I do right now? That b*stard! Why does he have to ruin my plans every single time?” Savannah stomped and said, “If my dad knew what I was up to, he would definitely hate me. Oh God, he might even kill me! What should I do now? Raelyn, help me! My dad isn’t dumb either. I don’t want to die like this!”
“It’s not the end of the world yet. Listen to me, your dad doesn’t trust William that much because of what happened to Valeria, so even if he said that something wasn’t right, your dad might not believe him entirely either. Besides, I did something to help you today.”
After Raelyn told her what had happened today, she said, “Your dad isn’t making any moves on you now because he isn’t a hundred percent sure yet. So, it isn’t too late to find a way to turn things around!”
“And how are we going to do that?” Savannah asked.
“We’ll start with William! As he’s always keeping a close eye on you, he must suspect that his mom’s death is related to you, so I bet he’s planning his revenge right now. After some time, he’ll definitely find clues that prove you guilty. Thus, we have to dispel his suspicions now.”
“That son of a b*tch, f*ck it! How did he know about this? We were really careful back then! I had always thought that no one would know about it. Besides, more than 20 years had passed. How did he manage to dig anything clues and who told him about it?”
Raelyn frowned as she saw Savannah panicking. “Don’t worry, that’s why I’m here to discuss this with you. Let’s calm down and think this through.”
“What can I do right now? It’s over! No wonder that son of a b*tch doesn’t like me. He suspected me all this time! Come on, what more does he want? My life’s already a living hell right now!” Savannah was anxious and angry at the same time.
Back then, she had always looked down on William, but now, she didn’t dare let her guard down even for a second. After all, he was the president of the Wolf Group, so it would be just a flick of a finger for him to ruin her.
Savannah was starting to feel afraid because she couldn’t even defeat Ronald now, so how could she compete against William?
“Raelyn, you were the one who gave me the idea of killing that slut back then. Besides, you gave me the drug and made her fall too. I was only an accomplice who helped you so that your men could drug her, so the rest has nothing to do with me. We are in the same boat now, so don’t you dare think of leaving me behind.”
“Why would I do that? Look at yourself right now! Get a grip!” Raelyn sneered in her heart when she saw how panicked Savannah was. She felt lucky that she had gotten a hold of the situation well beforehand. Otherwise, with Savannah’s behavior right now, William would have definitely killed her easily if she were to fall into his trap!
Then, Raelyn controlled herself and lowered her voice. “Today, I came here to discuss with you about how we’re going to get through this. William is indeed suspicious of you, but Hayden still doesn’t believe him entirely yet. So, we’ll put on an act.”
“How?”
“We’ll just say that William tried to frame you in order to marry Valeria. And because he is basically ruining you, you had no choice but to die to clear your name.”
