Chapter 725 Impulse

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

After Raelyn went to Talitha’s room to ask her to feed the vermin with her blood, Talitha grumbled as she covered the wound and called Raymond as soon as Raelyn was out of sight.
“Talitha!” His voice was as gentle as usual.
“Raymond! Natasya’s face is swollen as if a bee stung her. She’s so ugly right now! Hahaha, it’s killing me!” She fully trusted Raymond and spoke with no filter.
On the other end of the line, his voice was gentle and soft, “You’d better behave yourself. No matter what, Natasya is still your sister, so it’s not nice to laugh at her like this. If your mother finds out, she will scold you.”
“I know, but I can’t control myself. Valeria is so cruel! She used to be so gentle, but now she is so vicious. Raymond, you should be careful too. Don’t let her know that you hate her.” Talitha now regarded him as her best friend, so she told him everything on her mind.
He sneered, but spoke in the same gentle tone, “I know. Don’t worry about me, she won’t find out. By the way, are you and Hardy okay?”
Speaking of Hardy, she sighed, “No, he never calls me, and every time I call him, he will find an excuse to hang up after a little while. If he doesn’t have to attend a meeting, he has to meet a customer or do some other important thing. I’m so annoyed. He definitely doesn’t like me, right?”
“It’s not that he doesn’t like you. It’s just that there are too many temptations outside… I actually saw him with a beautiful woman in his car yesterday. The two of them chatted and laughed together the whole time, and he brought her to a hotel afterward.”
Upon hearing him say that, Talitha was furious. “Is this true? Who was the woman?”
“A female actress who just debuted. She seems to still be a student, and she looks very beautiful and pure. They stayed in the hotel around six hours before he finally left.”
His words made her mad. “Damn it, he went too far! How dare he cheat on me? How can he do this to me?”
“Talitha, don’t be angry. It’s not good for the child in your belly!” He persuaded, “Men are trash! I think we have to find a way to make Hardy listen to you.”
Even though Raelyn had warned Talitha to keep the plan with the blood vermin a secret, Talitha could not keep it in anymore after seeing how nice Raymond treated her, so she said impulsively, “Raymond, I’m not scared of Hardy anymore. In fact, I can make him follow me willingly after tomorrow!”
“Really? What idea do you have in mind?” He asked in surprise.
“I can’t tell you, but you will know tomorrow. In short, thank you for helping me all the time. After I successfully marry Hardy, I repay your favors.”
She didn’t tell him her full plan and just said that she had the ability to let Hardy follow her willingly.
Raymond chatted with her for a while and then hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, he called William.
He told William exactly what Talitha had told him and said, “I suspect she is also ready to use the vermin on Hardy.”
William was not surprised by his words, “Hehe, it’s just what I expected. I know that the Anderson family is extremely vicious and will do anything to get what they want, so that’s why I specially ordered people to prepare two vermins for them.”
“So you’ve expected that Talitha would use the vermin on Hardy? You’re a god!” Raymond was extremely impressed by William’s wits.
William chuckled, “It’s not that I’m a god, I was just guessing that they would try to control Hardy. After all, with Raelyn and Devon’s greed, they’re definitely unsatisfied with just controlling me. It’s also very important to them to be able to control Hardy.”
“So what should we do now? Are we really letting them use the vermin on Hardy? It’ll be interesting to watch.” Raymond found the situation very amusing.
William smiled and said, “Of course, it’s necessary to let Hardy have a taste of the vermin, but it won’t be as simple as to let them smoothly carry out their original plan. Let me think about what to do first.”
“Do you need my help?” Raymond asked.
“Yes, continue to keep an eye on Talitha and find out her plans, especially for the next few days, so that it will be convenient for me to do things.”
“Okay, leave it to me!” It was the first time that William had entrusted him to a task, so he agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, William smiled playfully. The situation was getting better and better.
For such a good plan made by Devon and Raelyn, he had to add fuel to the fire. Hardy and the Anderson family were not good people, so this was their karma for plotting against him in the past.
He had to think about how to deal with the Anderson family who had the vermins. How could he make both Hardy and the Anderson family suffer simultaneously?
William frowned and thought for a while before his eyes lit up as he thought of a miraculous plan. Yeah, that’s it!
In the hotel, Natasya recovered some of her strength after eating something. She struggled to go to the bathroom and felt horrible when she saw her unkempt and bruised face in the mirror.
She stared at herself in the mirror for a long time, and then a cold smile appeared on her face.
Beating her and ruining her reputation, did Valeria really think this would be enough to make her back out?
“I’m underestimating her! She’s a stubborn bitch that won’t get off my back!”
“Valeria, just you wait. I’ll pay you back with double the humiliation you brought to me!”
She stroked her bruised face while putting on a terrifying smile.
Not only did she want to use the blood vermin to control William, but she also wanted to make him dump Valeria heartlessly. She wanted to take everything from Valeria.
Valeria could keep on dreaming of being pregnant with William’s child! Natasya had plenty of ways to deal with her.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to her friend in New York friend. “What has Angel been doing recently?”
“She’s the same as before. Oh right, I saw the news. Are you all right?” Her friend asked her.
“Yes, I’m fine! Thank you for your concern! I just want to know about Angel’s situation, please tell me everything you know. Thank you very much.”
“Oh, I remember one thing. Recently, she has been complaining that her cousin would not pick up her phone after returning home.”
“Is that so?” Natasya immediately caught the main point. It seemed that she had to give Angel a call.
She hung up on the call and immediately dialed Angel’s number. When Angel saw the unfamiliar number, she picked it up impatiently, “Who is it?”
“Ms. Floyd, it’s me, Natasya!”
“Oh, it’s you? Hah, Natasya, I’m not close to you. How did you get my phone number?” She asked.
“I asked a friend for it.”
Angel had no good feelings for Natasya at all, so she sneered and said, “Haha, Miss Anderson, what do you want to do by calling me? Right, if I remember correctly, haven’t you been beaten up recently? You should be lying in the hospital with a bloody nose and a swollen face now. Why are you calling me?”
