Marcus smiled and said, “Yes, in fact, many interesting things will happen tonight. Gonzalec also reported that Lucian has asked to meet him, so Devon is probably going to take action soon.”
“This is so much good news today!” William laughed, “Did you find someone for Hardy tonight?”
“Yes, we found two famous superstars in the industry,” Marcus replied, “They have a beautiful face and a good figure, which is enough to torture him.”
“That’s not it! Why are you using superstars in the industry? We need to find people who will disgust him!” he shook his head and said, “Hurry up and find someone ugly!”
“Someone ugly?” Marcus looked at him in surprise as William nodded and said, “Yes, it’s best if they’re old prostitutes. Oh, and don’t forget to prepare the other things for him. I’m going to make this scandal go viral!”
Marcus burst out laughing when he heard what he wanted to do, “William, you’re so mean to force him into a corner! If this goes viral, he will be so livid and ashamed!”
“I have to take revenge for the time he set me up,” William said with a sneer.
In Acma Corporation, Paisley went to Hardy’s office in a hurry, but there was no one there, so she went straight to the secretary’s office and asked, “Where is Mr. Anthony?”
“He is in a meeting,” the secretary answered.
She ordered the secretary, “Call him right now, I have something urgent to tell him right away!”
However, the secretary was in a dilemma, “Today’s meeting is very important, and he specifically ordered everyone to turn off their phones to avoid being disturbed.”
“Well, I have a very urgent matter to tell him. Go and get him right away.”
“I… umm…” the secretary hesitated and stayed still. Seeing the secretary in a flustered state, she stomped her feet and went to the conference room herself.
The door of the room was closed tightly, so it did not budge even after she pushed it with all her might, then she realized that it was locked from the inside. She knocked on it a few times, and Bevan came to open the door. He smiled when he saw her and asked, “What’s up, Paisley?”
“Where’s my brother? Tell him to come out quickly. I have something urgent to tell him.”
“I’ll get him after the meeting’s over.”
“This is a big deal! I can’t wait any longer, so ask him to come out now.”
Hardy heard her from inside, so he got up and walked out unhappily, “Why are you here?”
“Hardy! Something big has happened!” she reached out to pull him, “Come with me, let’s talk about it in your office.”
Paisley’s behavior made him realize the severity of the situation, so he turned to Bevan and said, “Ask everyone to rest for half an hour first. I’ll come back after dealing with this.”
The pair of siblings returned to the office and closed the door. Then, Paisley lowered her voice and said, “I have bad news! Talitha is pregnant!”
“What? Who told you that?”
“She came to me today to tell me personally. I didn’t believe it so I accompanied her to the hospital for an examination and saw the results with my own eyes. This is not a scam,” she took out the test sheet from her bag and handed it to him. His expression turned sour as he looked at it, “Are you sure it’s my child?”
“Yes! She is not the type to sleep around. It has to be yours!”
“What if she and someone else…”
“It’s impossible! She is only interested in you, how can she be with others? The timing also corresponds to the last time you two slept together. It was the day you did it with her in the car, right?”
Her words had triggered him. The sex in the car that happened the other day was the most shameful event of his life, and now it even left a permanent mark. He couldn’t help but curse, “D*mn it!”
“Hardy, what are you going to do now? You’re not going to take responsibility, right?”
He sneered and asked in reply, “Take responsibility? Why must I? If I marry a woman like her, I’ll be too ashamed to face anyone in the future!”
“But she wants you to be responsible for it! She is unreasonable and particularly shameless, so it will be terrible if she decides to cause trouble. You must find a way to deal with her!”
Paisley knew that he was not willing to take responsibility, but Talitha was a cunning person who would do anything to get her way. If she were to give birth to the child, she would definitely use it to threaten him in the future, and no one would want to marry Hardy due to his shameful records.
It was a fact that Talitha was different from other women. Since she could shamelessly hook up with him, she would never give up once she was pregnant, and she would definitely threaten him with the child.
Therefore, he had to find a way to deal with this situation before it was too late.
Hardy was not an ordinary person. He frowned and thought for a moment and immediately came up with an idea, “I have a solution!”
“What is it?”
He smiled coldly and said, “I’ll send her to the hospital for a forced abortion! She won’t be able to threaten me once the child is gone.”
She was stunned for a moment, “Is this okay?”
He never really cared about morals, “Why is it not okay? I’ll meet up with her tonight to talk about the child, then I’ll drug her and arrange for a doctor to go ahead with the abortion procedures while she’s unconscious. When she wakes up, she won’t have the child anymore!”
Even though it was unethical, it was still a plausible solution. Paisley thought about it carefully and felt that it was feasible. Talitha’s only bargaining chip now was her child, so she would not pose any threat to her if the child was gone.
“Alright, invite her out tonight and arrange everything before you go. You have to find someone reliable and don’t leave any evidence!”
Hardy nodded and immediately ordered Bevan to contact the doctor. Then, he unblocked her number from his phone and called her.
After Talitha returned to the hotel, she had been anxiously waiting for Hardy’s call, so she was very excited when he finally called her. She immediately picked it up and said in a delicate voice, “Hardy!”
“I heard everything from Paisley. Let’s meet in the evening!” he said briefly.
“Where shall we meet?” she asked.
“Why don’t you come to my hotel?” he suggested.
“Your hotel? Forget it. There are too many people there, and I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on you if you are photographed again. Let’s find a quiet place to meet up to avoid what happened last time,” she was very understanding.
“A quiet place?” he frowned.
“Yes, there’s a secluded tea house next to my hotel. I’ll go there in advance and we can meet there,” she suggested.
It seemed that she had her guard up against him. At least she wasn’t that stupid. He sneered and said, “Sure, whatever you say!”
