Chapter 669 Troublesome

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Silas modified his voice and replied, “Mr. Saunders, I was just about to call you. I’ve been looking for Hardy according to your instructions, and I just found out his whereabouts.”
“Where is he?” Raymond asked deliberately.
“He’s at a western restaurant in Hyatt Hotel, with a long-haired woman. They just finished dinner and are heading to one of the hotel rooms.”
“Are you kidding me? You sure?” He asked in surprise.
“How could I be wrong? I would never mistake him for someone else. Wow, they’re kissing in the corridor right now!” Silas exaggerated on purpose.
Raymond put his phone on speaker mode, and Silas did not hang up, so Talitha could clearly hear about the news.
Hearing that Hardy flirted with another woman, she was furious, “That’s not true! I don’t believe it!”
Raymond immediately asked, “Do you have any photos?”
“Yes, I just took two. Mr. Saunders, do you want to see them now? I’ll send it to you right away.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and sent a few photos of Hardy and the woman to Raymond.
Upon seeing the photos, Raymond exclaimed, “Hardy is cheating on you! This is too much! No wonder he wanted to get rid of the baby, it’s because he has another woman with him!”
As he spoke, he handed his phone to Talitha. She furiously stared at the photos on the screen of Hardy kissing another woman.
She was truly in love with him. Otherwise, she would not have clung to him without any sense of self-esteem.
Seeing that he was so close to another woman but so vicious to her, she stuttered angrily, “How… How can he do this to me! This is too cruel of him!”
Looking at her exasperated look, Raymond sneered in his heart. “Hardy went too far! How can he do this to you? Talitha, what are you going to do now?”
“I don’t know! I… He went too far this time! I can’t let this go! I can’t be played by him in vain!” She was fuming, “Raymond, I will never let him go!”
“He clearly doesn’t like you… I think you should give up!” He persuaded hypocritically.
“No! I can’t and I won’t! Please help me! You promised to help me, so hurry up and think of a plan for me!”
“How can you be so stubborn!” He sighed, “Since it has come to this, I think you should tell your parents that you have Hardy’s baby so that they can stand up for you.”
“It’s useless to tell them because they won’t help me! They only care about Natasya. If they were willing to help me, I wouldn’t have gotten to this point,” she was angry.
“They didn’t help you because they couldn’t threaten Hardy. Now, we have evidence that he arranged for people to get rid of the child in your belly, this is a weakness of his! If you told your parents, they would be able to force him to take responsibility for you. If not, you can sue him and ruin his reputation!”
Talitha’s original intention was to force Hardy to take responsibility. Even though Raymond’s plan coincided with her initial idea, she was still a little worried that he would not give in. “I’m afraid that he won’t give in.”
“Ask your father to figure out a way to detain his men first, then I’ll find a way to help you. Call your father right now and tell him about it. If you’re even late for one second, and his men get released, then it would be even harder to deal with this.”
She immediately nodded in agreement and said, “Fine, I’ll call my parents and tell them about it now.”
Talitha and Devon were not close, and she was also afraid of him, so she did not dare to tell him about it and called Raelyn first, “Mom, I am pregnant!”
Raelyn was taken aback by her call, “Are you joking?”
“I’m not, I really am pregnant! With Hardy’s child.”
Raelyn still didn’t believe it, “Talitha, I know what you’re thinking, but he really doesn’t like you, so you can’t joke about this!”
“I’m not joking, the fact that he doesn’t like me doesn’t change the fact that I’m pregnant. Do you want me to abort the baby?” She cried, feeling wronged. “You’re my mother, how can you treat me like this? How can you be as cruel as Hardy?”
Upon hearing what she said, Raelyn immediately asked, “What did Hardy do to you?”
“I talked to him about my pregnancy today, and he lied to me saying that he would marry me! I believed him, so I didn’t expect him to secretly drug me and send me to the hospital for an abortion. Fortunately, I met Jessica, so she called the police and helped me. Now, Hardy’s men have been taken to the police station, and I am in the hospital!”
Hearing her story, Raelyn was furious, “I told you a long time ago that he was an a*shole, but you didn’t listen to me. Look at you now!”
“I know, mom. Please help me! I can’t take this, I can’t be played by him for no reason!”
“If he does not want to marry you, there’s nothing you can do. The most you can get out of it is compensation…”
“I don’t want any compensation! I want him to be responsible for me!”
“Are you dreaming? He treated you so viciously, and you still want him to take responsibility for you? That’s impossible!”
“Why is it not possible?” She sobbed a few times and finally said her purpose.
“Hardy’s men are now arrested in the police station, and they are suspected of hurting me on purpose. Tell dad immediately to arrange for people to deal with them and force Hardy to give in.”
Raelyn frowned and asked, “Will this work?”
“Why won’t it work? Call dad and tell him right away, I’ll wait for an update from you.”
Raelyn hung up the phone and looked at Natasya with a sigh, “Talitha didn’t listen to my advice, and look at her now! She asked me to call your dad to arrange for someone to deal with Hardy. Your dad is disgusted by their relationship… He would never help her!”
On the hospital bed, Natasya overheard the conversation very clearly and said, “Mom, I don’t think Talitha is wrong this time. Dad can indeed arrange for someone to do this, and there might be unexpected gains.”
Raelyn didn’t expect Natasya to support her sister’s behavior, “Why are you encouraging her nonsense?”
“This isn’t nonsense! Mother, ever since I was humiliated by the Howard family, I’ve been thinking about one thing. The Howard family will definitely not accept me, and grandfather and uncle will never treat me well either. If I want to successfully marry William, I’ll face many obstacles. Right now, we’re isolated and have no backup, so we need allies. The enemy of the enemy is our friend, and Hardy is the best candidate.”
