All of them looked at Archer, “A curse? Is that even possible? We are in a modern era, how could there be such a thing?”
Archer sighed and said, “Yes, at first, I didn’t believe it too, but strange things kept happening. Take Raelyn for example, my dad and I have always wondered why she likes Devon so much and is willing to do anything for him. She listens to everything he says, and rumor has it that she was spelled a curse by Devon back then.”
“President Saunders, isn’t Raelyn just attracted to Devon? He’s talented besides his influential status.” Marcus didn’t quite believe Archer’s idea of a curse.
“Yes, he is handsome and capable, but it doesn’t make sense that Raelyn is obeying him completely. Devon and Declan come from a family of witches, so they may have inherited their abilities.”
Archer strongly suspected that something was wrong, and Michael was in favor of him. “Well, let’s investigate Devon’s hometown to see if such a thing exists.”
Hearing this, Andrew nodded and said, “Yes, it’s better to investigate this further. Something must be up!”
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Marcus did not object further. “Alright, I’ll arrange for an investigation and update everyone if there’s any news.”
As everyone was ready to leave after their discussion, Bobby called. “William had a headache again today! Silas said that Ms. Floyd mentioned Valeria’s name in front of him and caused his sudden headache. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd were very worried about him. We have to do something before he comes back. Or else, he’ll be like this again if he hears about Valeria!”
“Alright. We’ll discuss it right away.” Marcus hung up the phone and told the others what Bobby had said. “We can’t mention Valeria’s name in front of Mr. Howard anymore, so she must change her name.”
“Yes!” Archer nodded. “My dad and I have been considering to change her last name to Saunders since long ago. Now’s the right time the change it.”
“Yes, she should change her surname as soon as possible. You should let her decide on her name. Before this, she once told Mr. Howard that her name was Val, so her name must be similar to that. President Saunders, do have a discussion with President Garcia and Ms. Saunders to decide on a name. After it has been decided, everyone is not allowed to mention Ms. Saunders previous name in front of Mr. Howard, not until we find a way to cure him.”
Archer didn’t oppose Marcus’s suggestion. “We’ll discuss this with Valeria, she has the right to decide it herself!”
Meanwhile, Natasya had overheard that William was having a headache and had called for a doctor in the guest room. She knew that William was sick, but she had no idea why.
She was too ashamed of stripping in the nightclub and didn’t dare exit the room to see what was going on.
Although she stayed in her room, she paid close attention to everything that happened outside. When the second floor regained its peace and quiet, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
It was late at night, but Natasya was not sleepy, so she sent a message to Devon. “Dad, something big happened tonight!”
“What?” Devon asked.
“William was attacked at a nightclub tonight. Luckily, the bodyguards of the Floyd family protected him.”
Devon was shocked when he heard this. “An attack? How could this happen? Had the news of he being alive leaked out?”
“Yeah, I’m curious about that too. The Floyd family has ordered a complete news blackout, so how did people know that he’s still alive? Could there be a spy in the Floyd family?”
Devon thought for a moment before replying, “The Floyd family is big, and it’s difficult to control all the people under them. Not everyone is a hundred percent loyal to Mr. and Mrs. Floyd. Someone must have leaked the news.”
“Then, who’s the mastermind behind this? Could it be Hardy?”
“I’m suspecting it was Hardy too. We intended to keep this matter a secret from him and only release the news after you succeed in securing William. But now, since things aren’t going exactly how we thought it would be and he had found out that William is still alive, you have to be more careful.”
Devon’s words worried Natasya. “Dad, Hardy is vicious and shameless. The situation now is unfavorable to me. We have to do something.”
Devon reassured Natasya, “Hardy wouldn’t dare hurt you, as we have evidence on him planning to kill William. If we reveal everything, he’ll be hunted down by the Floyd family, the Saunders family and the Howard family. Therefore, he can only play dirty tricks on us secretly even if he knows that you’re with William. So, we can still turn the tables around. I’m actually more worried about the person who leaked that William is still alive. If he is a member of the Floyd family, he would definitely know that we plotted against William. That will be a headache.”
Natasya thought for a moment before replying, “Dad, I don’t think the spy inside the Floyd family will harm me. He must hate William, or else he would have told Mr. and Mrs. Floyd about the things I’d done to get them to kick me out instead of secretly informing Hardy about William.”
“You’re right. Anyway, there’s something fishy about the Floyd family. You’d better find a way to bring William back here! We will have a way to deal with Hardy and the Floyd family as long as you successfully control William and make him be on your side.”
After a short discussion, Natasya brought up William’s illness once again. “Dad, William is seriously ill again, but I don’t know why. Is there any reason that would cause him to fall ill other than the drug?”
“No. If he’s being like this, someone must have mentioned Valeria in front of him.” Devon answered with certainty.
“Really? Who mentioned Valeria in front of him? Could it be Angel? But how does that little b*tch know about her? Angel has always been against me and she will definitely reveal my identity if she finds out that I’m a fake! What should I do?” Natasya panicked.
“Just pretend to be ill and lie to her!” Devon suggested.
At this time, William woke up from his sleep before dawn. He turned over and sat up, rubbing his temples.
The memory of a splitting headache a few hours ago was still vivid in his mind. Whenever he heard that name, it would come slamming into him, causing him pain and agony.
William knew that something must be up. He was well aware of his body’s condition, so why was he reacting like this whenever that particular name was mentioned?
Natasya must have done something to him that caused him to become like this! That evil woman!
How dare she challenge him? He must get back at her!
