Raelyn glanced at Nataysa, who had fallen asleep on the bed, and then looked at Devon. It was necessary for Natasya to be part of the cooperation, but she was in no state to have a discussion with them.
She immediately replied, “I’m afraid we can’t do it today. Looking at your sister’s situation now, your father and I are worried about her as well, how about tomorrow?”
“So if she never gets better, you’ll never have this meal with us?” Talitha was unhappy, “Let me tell you, this is not just having a simple meal, it’s related to my marriage with Hardy, do you wanna do it or not?”
Since Talitha put it that way, Raelyn embarrassingly glanced at Devon, who frowned unhappily.
Hardy looked at their expressions and sneered in his heart. Since he thought that it was Declan who had plotted against him, he hated him to the core.
If it weren’t for the d*mn video, he would have never cooperated with them in any case. But they had his weakness, so he had no choice but to compromise.
Hardy naturally hoped that Devon and his family would have an internal fight among themselves, but now was not the time. Now, he was trying to make peace with them, and he suppressed his disgust and said, “Since you can’t do it today, let’s make an appointment some other time, it fine.”
“Then let’s do it tomorrow,” Devon didn’t want to delay it either, he would take a look at Natasya’s condition first for today. If she was better tomorrow, then he would bring her along. If she wasn’t, then he would go on his own.
“Okay, I’ll treat you a meal tomorrow at Acma Corporation’s Hotel!” Hardy didn’t stay for long and left with Talitha.
Raelyn and Devon sent them to the elevator and turned back to the ward.
Devon sat down with an unhappy face, “Talitha is really absurd and has no manners, Hardy will hate her sooner or later if she keeps this up.”
Raelyn knew that he was speaking facts, so she sighed, “It already came to this, so there’s nothing else we can do, she won’t listen to us anymore.”
“It’s all your fault! You spoiled her all the time and didn’t teach her properly. Look, what she became.”
“You didn’t stop me either when I spoiled her back then, so what’s the point of talking about it now?” Raelyn was also unhappy, “No matter what, she’s pregnant now. Since Hardy has already admitted their relationship, just let her go. She’s still young and playful, so she might change for the better when she marries Hardy and gives birth to the child.”
“I wouldn’t have anything else to say if Hardy married and had a baby with her. I’m just worried that he isn’t that easy to deal with. This time, it was obvious that he was suffering in silence. He didn’t like her to begin with, coupled with her character, it’s hard to say how long he can endure her.”
“What should we do?” Raelyn asked with concern.
“We can only pin our hopes on Natasya. When she recovers and uses the blood vermin to take control of William, we don’t need to worry about Hardy turning against us anymore.”
“That’s the only way I guess,” she nodded and took a look at her mobile phone. A text message came into her sight. After reading its content, her face changed instantly, “Honey, look at this!”
He tilted his head to read it, and his expression changed too.
“How… how is this possible? How did they find out about Declan?”
“Hubby, what should we do now?” She was in panic.
“If this person is telling the truth and is planning to interrogate Declan, do you think he’ll sell us out?”
“I don’t know! He’s already waiting for his death sentence, so I don’t think he will say anything,” he guessed.
“What if he does? Think about it, back then, as long as he refused to admit it, he would not be sentenced. You always said that he was stubborn, but in the end, he still told everything.”
“This…” He was at a loss for words.
“Honey, we must find a way. If what this person said was true, we have to prevent it from happening!”
“How do we do that?” He already knew what she meant, but he still asked.
“He’s already waiting for his death sentence, why don’t we escort him earlier?”
“He… He’s my only younger brother!”
“I know that, but think about you and me, think of Natasya and Talitha, do you want him to get us into trouble?”
She continued to persuade him, “We did try to save him, but we failed, and it’s impossible for him to be free now. If he’s going to die anyway, time wouldn’t matter anymore, our family cannot be destroyed because of him. For the sake of our children and ourselves, you have to make a decision!”
Her words made him close his eyes. After a while, he made up his mind and said, “Fine! Go and find a lawyer!”
Hardy looked at his watch when he returned to the parking lot with Talitha, “I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I will send you back first.”
“I want to be with you,” she whined, acting like a spoiled child. “Why don’t I go to the company with you? I’ll be waiting for you at the office, and I promise to not disturb you.”
“No, the company is an office place, so it won’t make sense for you to wait there,” he refused immediately. Seeing her sour expression, he immediately coaxed her, “You are pregnant, so you should go back to the hotel and have a good rest. I will arrange for someone to cook delicious food for you.”
She didn’t want to go back to the hotel, but she also didn’t want to pester him even more, so she agreed sulkily.
After sending her back to the hotel, he turned the car around and left. As soon as he returned to the company and sat down, he received a phone call from overseas.
The man said in a husky voice, “Mr. Anthony, I have an opportunity for you to deal with William, are you down?”
“What opportunity?” He immediately asked.
“You know Declan, don’t you?”
“Of course I do, but he’s a prisoner now. Why are you mentioning him?” He was very confused.
“Yes, Declan was sentenced to death, there was no use for him at first, but now he is the key to dealing with William,” the man laughed coldly and continued, “Listen, Declan will die sooner than expected, so you should keep an eye on William and frame him from Declan’s death when the time comes.”
Hardy was stunned, “Declan will die sooner than expected? How do you know that? Who wants to kill him?”
“I know a lot of things, but you don’t have to worry about who wants to kill him. All you need to do is do as I say, this is the best opportunity for you to deal with William!”
The other party spoke slowly with a cold voice, “From now on, send men to keep an eye on William. If I’m not wrong, he will definitely go to jail to look for Declan. Then, you’ll succeed if you can frame William with Declan’s death.”
