Deborah had just got up and was very surprised to see him return instead of exercising, “Why are you back? Is it raining outside?”
“Nope, the weather is fine. I have something to ask you. How did you come up with the idea of using my private plane to send William back home?”
Deborah glanced at his stern face and asked, “What’s with the serious look? Did something bad happen?”
“Nope, I’m just curious. It was William’s idea to return home by using a private plane instead of yours, right?”
“Not really. He just told me that he didn’t like the idea of heading to the airport as he was feeling anxious due to his amnesia. He would feel uncomfortable and would suffer from a headache. Hence, that was when I came up with the private plane idea. He told me to discuss things with you as he was afraid that you would not agree with him.”
“That b*stard! How dare he!” Fandrey chuckled despite feeling angry and said, “Do you know that he’s using your affection towards him to get things done his way?”
Deborah stared at him with a confused look and asked, “What are you talking about? What on earth did William do?”
“He took advantage of your trust to scheme against me…” Fandrey brushed his chin and shook his head. “I’m his grandfather but he chose to discuss things with you instead of me. Both father and son have the exact personality and would only reap benefit from others!”
“It’s just a private plane, isn’t it? Why are you being so petty?” Deborah frowned.
“What? I’m telling you, Natasya was ambushed when she left the airport upon arrival. She is severely injured and currently hospitalized.”
Deborah was surprised and asked, “Who did it?”
“Who else can it be? It must the one who ought to have a piece of William!”
“Are you saying that William would have been in her shoes hadn’t he took the private plane back?” Deborah had a worried look on her face as she continued, “Thank God! I’m so glad that my dear William is fine!”
“I’m unsure whether your prayers have been heard or not. But you do not have to worry as William is always able to save himself from tragedy. That b*stard, how dare he schemed against me!” Fandrey started cursing again.
Deborah, on the other hand, was very relieved and said, “Hey, isn’t this a good thing? You should be happy since William is doing fine, right?”
“I would be happy if he told me about this idea himself. However, he made me look like a fool! When you told me about the idea of his, I swiftly thought that he might be met with an ambush upon his arrival there. Hence, I made a big fuss out of it to purchase a legitimate ticket and planned things accordingly. Little did I know William was the mastermind behind this. He must be have been delighted seeing me made a fool out of myself. Everyone from the Howard family is pieces of trash!” Fandrey cursed.
Deborah finally understood what he was trying to say, “William knew that something bad is bound to happen, hence he told me about his uncomfortableness. I then told you about it while you came up with the private plane idea, am I right? How could that little kid be so meticulous? But, he doesn’t look like one, does he?”
“You’re feeling skeptical, right? We shall sit back and wait!” Fandrey huffed in anger and continued, “This brat is definitely not as innocent as we think he is! Is he trying to play dumb with me? I shall wait patiently and observe his ulterior motive surfaces.”
The living room of the courtyard was dead silent. William pursed his lips and stared at Ronald with a serious look. Bobby crossed his hands while looking at Ronald with an intense gaze.
Ronald did not have the guts to deceive them as their sharp gazes pierced through him. He then hurriedly tell everything he knew about the details of Declan and Raelyn.
“William, I did not come clean to you last time. Please do not worry as I will be honest from now on. They have a very complicated relationship. Talitha is the daughter of Declan instead of Devon’s.”
William glanced at Ronald calmly and asked, “How did you come to know about this?”
“Do you happen to recall the incident involving Devon and Raelyn? Raelyn was interested in Devon but he did not feel the same way. No one knew why would Raelyn adore him and I soon overheard that Devon had poisoned her.”
William squinted his eyes but Ronald was not aware of his reaction and continued, “Devon and Declan are from the deep mountains of Kenoland and they would have known some tricks about the vermin. I was suspicious when I heard about it, hence I kept a close eyes on them and I finally found something fishy about it.”
Ronald caught a breather before he continued, “Devon was not interested in Raelyn but his brother was feeling otherwise. Anyone could tell that Declan was deeply in love with Raelyn.”
“Wow!” William chuckled.
“It was a love triangle. Acknowledging his brother’s love interest, Devon should have made things clear with Raelyn. However, Devon kept giving her false hope and would always bring Declan along when they go for a date. Their relationship was somewhat complicated and I finally wrapped my head around after I saw them at the hotel.”
“What is it then?”
“Their dating spot would always be at a hotel but Declan was the one who actually slept with Raelyn. I overheard the brothers arguing that Declan did something wrong and would affect Devon negatively. I reckon it was related to the vermin and he must have messed it up. That was the exact reason why Raelyn was still deeply invested in Devon.”
“Haha!” William sneered once again.
Ronald glanced at him cautiously and continued, “Raelyn desperately wanted to marry Devon, and Declan could not do anything about it. The brothers were afraid that the Saunders Family would seek their revenge if they were aware of what they have done to Raelyn. They had no choice and had to continue the act.”
“Devon eventually married Raelyn and became a respectable public officer. Declan and Raelyn on the other hand became business partners. Their illegitimate business was very successful due to the reputation of the Saunders family and Declan being a business-savvy person. Declan had to maintain a good image ever since he got married. Hence, he tends to head out and flirt with other women to ease his tension.”
“The twins of the Anderson family soon had a celebration for their twins’ ten-year-old birthday party. Declan was more enthusiastic than Devon, who was the father of the twins. Declan spent a fortune and invite a big crowd at Ruthorham for the celebration. We were also being invited as we graduated from the same school. Declan was eventually dead drunk and finally spurt the big secret that Talitha was actually her daughter.”
