Hardy was in a hot mess with Talitha and they were unfortunately interrupted by Paisley’s knock on the door. He swiftly dressed himself up and opened the door while glaring at Paisley with an annoyed look on his face. “What do you want?”
“Hardy, have a look at this right now!” Paisley immediately dragged him into her room without thinking twice. She closed the door and showed him about Natasya’s scandal.
Hardy was taken aback and asked, “Was… was William behind this?”
“Of course. Who else could it be?”
“Didn’t Natasya claimed to be his girlfriend? She also said that William was under her control and had successfully won him over, right? How could things ended up like this?” Hardy asked with a sullen expression on his face.
“I don’t think that she is telling us the truth judging by the outrageous scandal of hers! There were uncensored videos and pictures about her being naked while doing indecent things with a beggar. She was also caught flirting around with the bodyguards and even sent nudes to them. I don’t think that she ought to do this, right?”
Hardy nodded and agreed, “She was framed! Natasya must have thought that William was the one texting her all along. She would never get her hands dirty like this judging by her bossy attitude.”
“William was not under her control since the very beginning and arranged for someone to give her false hope instead? Isn’t that too ruthless of him?”
Hardy sneered and said, “What? I would do the same thing or maybe worse if I am in William’s shoes. It’s a nightmare should a woman with a bad personality keeps pestering me when I have no interest in her at all!”
Paisley glanced at him and questioned, “Hardy, don’t you think that you are not being yourself nowadays?”
“Not really. Why would you think so?”
“Aren’t you aware that your attitude towards Talitha had taken a sharp turn out of the blue?”
“Hmm…” Hardy rubbed his forehead and thought about it. Talitha suddenly knocked on the door and said, “Hardy, something came up with my sister. I have to head back home now.”
“I’ll drive you home then!” Hardy offered while he opened the door.
Talitha had an annoyed and agitated look on her face. She had been waiting for Hardy to continue where they had left but the plan was unfortunately disrupted. Raelyn suddenly gave her a call to tell her about Natasya’s scandal and she had no choice but to head back home immediately.
Talitha was terrified upon hearing about this. She wondered why Natasya had failed when they both had reared the blood vermin together.
Was it possible that Hardy still currently thinking of ways to get rid of her just like how William had done to Natasya?
She was initially not interested in Natasya’s affairs and was secretly delighted upon hearing about it. However, she started to panic upon thinking that Hardy may get rid of her soon.
She had to go back immediately to see what was going on and figure things out accordingly.
Talitha continued her act and cussed angrily, “They have crossed the line! How could they humiliate my sister like this? It is not over yet and those rubbish media would pay the price soon.”
“Haha!” Paisley sneered and said, “Take a closer look at them. The rubbish media are actually well-respected multimedia companies in B City. The evidence had clearly shown about your sister’s ill-mannered behaviors. Are you planning to sue them judging by your family’s current condition? Stop dreaming and come back to reality!”
“Hardy!” Talitha became teary-eyed as Paisley was giving her a hard time. Hardy felt agitated and glared at Paisley, “What nonsense are you talking about? Could you please keep quiet if you have nothing better to say? Talitha, don’t listen to her. I shall send you back to gauge the situation. Let’s go!”
Paisley was shocked upon seeing Hardy dragging Talitha away and eventually left the villa. She felt that something bizarre had indeed happened to her brother.
The Anderson family was not innocent and has a history of controlling others around. Could it be that Hardy was really being controlled by them?
She was feeling bothered and called Bevan immediately, “You are aware of Natasya’s scandal, right?”
“Yes, I just saw the news! How pitiful of her!” Bevan continued, “Her reputation is shattered into pieces and would forever be looked down on.”
“You’re right. It’s game over for her!” Paisley decided to branch things out and asked, “Do you happen to know about the details?”
Bevan had no idea at all and replied, “Nope.”
“My gut is telling me that Natasya has been set up. Do arrange your men to dig things up as I want to know more about her scandal.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange accordingly and would let you know soon should there be any updates!” Bevan replied.
Raelyn was at the hotel with a frustrated expression on her face. She held her phone and shouted at the top of her lungs, “We have failed! We’ve been set up by William! Natasya would forever be despised! What should we do now? Honey, have you come up with something?”
“How could I possibly come up with an idea? Aren’t you all the mastermind behind this?” Devon continued angrily, “How could we turn the tables around when things had turned out this way? You are all f*cking rubbish who always mess things up!”
Raelyn puffed in anger and retorted, “Are you pushing the blame on me now? Why should I be dragged into the mud? The vermin was reared by both of them but hers was ineffective when compared to Talitha. I have no idea what went wrong either. You should call Gonzalec right now and ask him about it!”
“Do you possibly think that I’m slow-witted? I f*cking called him but he has not been answering!” Devon had always been calm around Raelyn but had finally lost his temper.
“Could it be possible that Gonzalec was the one behind it? The chances ain’t high, right? Why would Hardy go head over heels towards Talitha then? Do you think that the vermin is useless and Hardy is pretending all along? It would be terrible if this is the case!” Devon raised his voice.
Raelyn was frightened and said, “Are you sure? It would be the end for Talitha if Hardy is indeed pretending and planning to get rid of her soon.”
“Call Talitha and demand her to come back home right now! We shall press things further to get ahold of the situation! How about Natasya? Is she back yet?”
“I have called Talitha and she should be back soon. As for Natasya, she is not back home yet and I can’t get through her. I have no idea about her whereabouts now.”
Devon anxiously said, “What are you waiting for? Get ahold of her right now! What if something bad happens to her?”
“How could I possibly find her when she does not even answer my calls? Have you forgotten that I am not as influential as before? I have been living in a mess ever since my company has been under investigation and your suspension of work. We have neither a servant nor a bodyguard. Don’t you think that it is a stupid idea to find Natasya randomly?”
Devon was pissed off and questioned, “Have you called the police yet? She would be discovered soon as long as you seek the police for assistance, right?”
“I do not intend to make a fool out of myself!” Raelyn replied angrily.
“Things have already turn out this way. Why would you care when our reputation has already been ruined? You’re being an irresponsible mother. How could you sit back and relax when your daughter is nowhere to be found? Fine then, I shall make the call since you are reluctant about it!” Devon hung up the phone while fuming with anger.
