Natasya was full of confidence and Raelyn had also bought into her feeling. Both mother and daughter had immersed themselves in an imagination whereby William had been under their control.
A voice suddenly emerged outside of the ward. “I heard that the sh*tty beauty is on this floor. Which ward is she in? I’m very curious and would want to see what does she really looks like.”
“What? How could there be such a bizarre name?”
“Haven’t you seen the news? It is a new thing today as she is previously the most beautiful and talented woman in Ruthorham. She is also one of the famous women among the upper-class circle. However, her reputation has all gone down the drain today. I heard that she was rescued by the doctors and nurses but they almost fainted due to her excessive stool which had a disastrous odor.”
“What? A noblewoman? Are you sure? That sounds ridiculous!”
“Yes, the news has spread on the Internet. The sh*tty beauty is named Natasya while her father is an influential man in Ruthorham and her mother is named Raelyn. There are brief introductions on the Internet, as well as pictures of them.”
Both Raelyn and Natasya had heard the conversation. Natasya was feeling confused but Raelyn sprung up and hurriedly closed the door of the ward.
“Mom, what’s going on?” Natasya heard it clearly, but she questioned for further clarification.
Raelyn stammered, “Natasya, just ignore them. They have all gone mad!”
“What the hell is going on? Mom, come clean to me, okay?”
“It’s just that… you kept having diarrhea after you have taken the antidote and there was no way to stop it… and it was all over you. I have no idea how they have known about it and the news managed to spread…”
“What! Damn it!” Natasya was so angry that she was running out of breath.
Good heavens, this is just too embarrassing! Natasya thought to herself.
Her reputation is ruined! Natasya covered her face with her hands. The pride and confidence in controlling William which she was imagining just now had completely disappeared in thin air.
She could not bear to think about the judgments that she would be faced with and her ruined reputation due to the incident.
She screamed on top of her lungs and threw the thermal bottle on the bedside table to the ground.
“Natasya! Please calm down!”
Raelyn tried to persuade her but to no avail. She madly threw everything to vent out the anger within her.
The people who were discussing outside had heard Natasya screaming in the ward. They looked at each other and grinned as they purposefully came here to provoke her. They then headed back as they had completed their task accordingly.
They immediately gave Abbie a call as soon as they left the hospital. “Miss, we have followed your orders by going to Natasya’s ward and deliberately mentioned her scandal. She is now so furious that she is currently screeching while throwing things everywhere.”
“Well done!” Abbie burst out of laughter and glanced at Valeria who was busy choosing something. “Valeria, Natasya must have lost her cool, hahaha.”
“She deserved it.” Valeria held a diamond-encrusted cuff in her hand and continued, “Is this nice?”
“Yes, it is. William would look good in anything.”
“I’ll have this then, as well as the sapphire and the platinum,” Valeria pointed at the three sets of cufflinks.
The assistant immediately packed the cufflinks into a bag. Abbie smiled and said, “Valeria, are you just going to buy these as a birthday present for William? Isn’t it a bit too simplistic?”
“Of course not, these are just plain gifts instead for birthdays as it has been so long since I last bought something for my husband. Since we are here today, I might as well buy more of it, and let’s see what else is on my shopping list. Tie, shirt, suit, belt… I’m going to buy everything necessary to make my husband the most handsome and sophisticated man!”
“Pfft!” Abbie snorted. William’s appearance itself was pleasing to the eye even if he didn’t dress up.
Valeria joyfully selected many clothing and accessories for her husband. She wrote down her selected delivery address after paying for them and finally left with Abbie.
Abbie grabbed her hand and asked, “Where shall we head to now?”
“Let’s go to choose a birthday present for my husband,” Valeria replied.
“What exactly do you plan to give him? Can’t you drop some hints for me?”
“Nope, can’t do!”
They got into the car and Valeria offered, “Let me take the wheel.”
“How could you drive when you’re pregnant? It’s better for me to drive as I do not intend to receive a scolding from your husband. You shall just rest at the passenger seat to save me from getting into trouble.”
Abbie refused her offer and Valeria did not insist further. Valeria picked up her phone to enter the address and let Abbie drive to their next destination.
After a while, they finally reached the entrance of a DIY hand-made store.
“Are you intending to give him a handmade present?” Abbie asked.
“You’re right!” Valeria smiled and got off the car.
“You’re such a surprise package as I didn’t expect you to give him such a birthday present! He will definitely be moved to tears,” Abbie said as she followed Valeria into the shop.
William was at Wolf Group busy going through a number of documents in his study room. Bobby came in and brought him some tea.
“Valeria and Miss Clark went to your favorite store and bought quite a lot of gifts for you. The items have been sent here.”
“Really?” William took a sip of tea and tried to mask his excitement but to no avail. “Where is she now?”
“She and Miss Clark have gone to a DIY handmade store. Our men had gone in beforehand to run an inspection to ensure their safeness. They are currently busy picking up some items in the store and reports had come in saying that Valeria intends to do some hand-made work.”
“I see, let’s not disturb her and just let her do what she wishes.”
“By the way, Hardy and Talitha had gone to the hospital at noon to pay Natasya a visit and they did not stay long.”
“He is a flexible man and it looks like he has finally decided to join forces with the Anderson family to get rid of me. How ridiculous is that!” William’s tone was full of mockery.
“We are patiently waiting for them to make a move. By the way, as soon as the pair left, Devon and Raelyn had also made a move and left Natasya alone in the hospital. It was reported that Devon went to meet a friend while Raelyn went to visit Declan’s lawyer.”
“Why would she meet with Declan’s lawyer during these times?” William frowned. What the hell was on Raelyn’s mind?
Bobby then continued to report, “She then bought some porridge and returned to the hospital after the meeting has ended. Miss Clark later arranged for someone to irritate Natasya at the hospital. I heard that she went bonkers after being mocked at.”
William shook his head and grinned. He then picked up his phone and made a call, “Are there any updates with regards to the Floyd family?”
Marcus replied, “No, there is no news from Jaxon yet. It seems that he still has not gotten anything useful.”
“It looks like things are not as easy as it seems to find the tie-breaking piece of evidence from the Floyd family.” William paused for a moment before he continued, “Raelyn suddenly left Natasya all alone to meet with Declan’s lawyer today. There must be something fishy going on, hence ask someone to keep an eye on the lawyer. If Jaxon intends to meet up with Declan, it’s better to do a background check on the lawyer. I suspect that Raelyn has been ordering the lawyer around to achieve her objectives.”
Marcus immediately agreed as he was always obedient to follow orders, “I’ll arrange for someone to keep a close eye on the lawyer.”
