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

Raelyn did not agree with Natasya at all, “Hardy? You want to cooperate with a crazy man like him? Have you lost your mind?”
“I haven’t lost my mind. The only way to successfully scheme against William is by cooperating with Hardy, and I’m willing to let go of my grudges against him in order to get what I want. He would have never agreed to cooperate with me because of what happened last time, but with Talitha’s pregnancy, we might be able to negotiate with him.”
Raelyn shook her head, “The first thing he tried to do when he heard of Talitha’s pregnancy was to get rid of the baby. Do you think he will work with us when he was already so vicious towards her?”
“Of course, it won’t be easy, but just as Talitha said, his men are being detained in the police station, so we have something to hold against him. You should ask dad to arrange for them to be detained even longer so that we can force him to work with us!”
Talitha was unreliable, but Natasya was different, so Raelyn trusted her judgment and called Devon.
Devon was about to meet Gonzalec when Raelyn called and told him about Natasya’s plan. He immediately called his acquaintances in Juxemburg and asked them to detain Hardy’s men.
Even though he called his trusted acquaintances, Marcus was already a step ahead of him.
When Devon hung up, the old acquaintance immediately called Marcus.
William listened to their conversation, he squinted his eyes and said with a chuckle, “Let’s finish what we started. Detain Hardy’s men, then confirm his scandal with the old prostitutes.”
Marcus understood and immediately arranged for someone to go to the alley to catch Hardy, who was with the prostitutes.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Mr. Howard, do you think Hardy will be able to handle this?”
William replied with a smile, “Yes! He has high capability and adaptability, so this will mean nothing to him.”
Valeria put a grape into her mouth and rolled her eyes at him, “Why don’t you say that he is shameless and has no self-esteem? He is not worthy of having high capability and adaptability!”
William laughed out loud, “Darling, you have to be capable enough to be as shameless as him. Ordinary people don’t have the ability to do that, and I’m sure that his shamelessness will definitely give you new insights!”
She was surprised to hear him say that, “Honey, is this just the beginning? I thought it was almost over!”
“Yes, this is just the beginning, it’s no fun if it ends so soon! I haven’t taken revenge yet, he wanted to take my life, and Natasya put a vermin in my body! I can’t let this go with such small revenge.”
Valeria was extremely curious, “Honey, what else do you want to do?”
“This is just the start, the climax is when Hardy is forced to cooperate with Devon and his family, then it’ll be even more fun to watch them.”
Marcus chuckled and said, “This is Mr. Howard’s plan, so it’s exceptionally brilliant!”
“Humph, stop boosting his ego!” Although Valeria said so, she was still curious about what he would do, “Honey, can you tell me more about it?”
“Sure!” He narrowed his eyes, “Do you want to see Natasya and Talitha fight each other for a man and suffer from the pain of the vermin?
“Of course I do! But wouldn’t that be too cruel?” She stuck her tongue out when she heard his plan.
“Cruel?” He said with a smile, “I have always been a very peace-loving man, and I would usually forgive people who admit that they’re wrong. If Natasya, Hardy, and Raelyn admitted that they were in the wrong, I would definitely let them go! However, they showed no remorse, so there’s nothing else I can do.”
“Wow, do you have to go so far for this?” She rolled her eyes at him.
“The fact is that they are forcing me to teach them a lesson! Now, Devon and Lucian have already met Gonzalec. If I don’t teach him a lesson first, he will beat me to it. I’m not stupid, so why would I wait for that to happen? So, I’m not merciless since they’re the ones who are looking for death!”
“That’s so cruel!” She frowned, “Honey, they must be discussing about using a vermin against you again. You have to be careful about Gonzalec because he is definitely not a good person. If he plotted against you with Lucian behind your back, it will be terrible.”
“Don’t worry, he won’t have the guts to!”
Just as William had said, Devon immediately went to meet Gonzalec after making arrangements with his old acquaintances.
Lucian and Gonzalec arrived first, then Devon arrived ten minutes later.
When he came in, Lucian immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully with a smile.
Then, she introduced him to Gonzalec, “It’s all thanks to him! If it weren’t for him, you would have been sentenced to at least eight years in prison!”
However, Gonzalec knew the truth behind everything. It was not because of Devon that he was able to escape his sentence. He had been sentenced with William’s orders. If it weren’t William himself who let him go, he wouldn’t have been set free.
He finally saw it clearly. Fighting against William was equal to committing suicide. Devon was a fool for being oblivious to what William was doing and overestimating his power.
As he thought about it, he put on a humble smile on his face and got up to bow to Devon like a servant.
Devon was very satisfied with his attitude, and he motioned for him to sit down then spoke with a sense of superiority.
Gonzalec looked down on him even more in his heart. After chitchatting for a while, Devon asked about his grandfather, “Is your grandfather doing well?”
“Not really!” He shook his head and said, “He’s old and his health and memory are deteriorating. After all, he’s over 90 years old.”
“Is that so?” Devon glanced at Lucian. He had several purposes in coming to look for Gonzalec today.
His first purpose was to find out about Natasya’s pain. He suspected that it was the side effect of the vermin, and he wanted to know if the medicine used on William would cause the side effect.
Devon had mentioned it to Lucian before he came here, so she understood and immediately added, “Gonzalec, do you remember the medicine that your grandfather sold last time? Will it cause side effects if it goes wrong?”
