William let out a cry of disbelief and asked, “What did she do?”
“Based on my understanding, Veronica and your uncle had promised to attend a horseriding session together. However, Emily did something to her horse and it had trampled Veronica. She was so badly injured that she was unable to have kids for the rest of her life!”
“What? How vicious of Emily!” William replied.
“Yes, you’re right. This is not a trivial matter as Veronica is the eldest daughter of the Laban family. They would not let Emily off the hook when Veronica would be infertile forever. They wanted Emily to pay for her mistake and intended to throw her into prison. However, I did not know what happened next but your uncle eventually married Veronica. There was no punishment towards Emily and she was eventually being expelled and forced to return home.”
“I did not expect such a thing to happen,” William replied and recalled that this incident was somewhat familiar.
Wasn’t this a replica of the story between Archer and Natalie?
He squinted his eyes and thought about how Raymond was being swapped to become Savannah’s child, as well as the incident that happened to Angel.
These two incidents had one thing in common. Veronica knew that Angel was not her child, and Savannah was also aware that Raymond was not her son.
However, there was a slight difference between them. Archer had always assumed Raymond was his and Savannah’s child. Veronica, on the other hand, was well aware that Callum was the father of Angel but was unrelated to her.
She was framed and was so badly injured until she would not be able to have children forever. How could not she feel the hatred deep inside her? How could she still be so kind towards her husband and the child that was not hers?
William could only think that the person must be a big-hearted person. Was Veronica really a kind and generous person?
Besides, how could Emily, an orphan with no strong background, dare to do such a thing abroad towards a daughter who came from a wealthy family?
Jaxon waited quietly for a while before he continued, “Your grandparents were very upset because Emily had done such a ruthless thing. They forbade your uncle to have contact with her. He obediently agreed and soon cut ties with Emily.”
William pondered for a moment before replying, “Alright then! There’s something I need you to do immediately. Get ahold of Angel’s DNA result and have it send over to me. I need to check things out for myself.”
“Okay! I’ll get it done as soon as possible!” Jaxon replied.
William was lost in his thoughts after hanging up the phone call with Jaxon. Marcus came over and said, “Mr. Howard, Rammos is currently in B CIty. He has called and proposed to have dinner to patch things up. He has also booked the private room of Wolf Group for this dinner session. What do you think about it?”
“It would not be nice to reject if we ought to have a free meal!” William snorted and continued, “Isn’t this merely a business deal? We shall make a decent amount from him then!”
Marcus knew what he meant said, “Okay. I’ll arrange things accordingly.”
“I would like to assign another task for you. Liaise with Jaxon as I have told him to obtain Angela’s DNA. I need to make sure of something.”
Marcus nodded and asked further as he was feeling curious, “Mr. Howard, who do you intend to match Emily with?”
“Angel! I would want to know if she is genuinely the daughter of Emily. Something fishy must be going on if they are not related by blood. It will then prove that my uncle has another lover apart from Emily. Why is there no trace of his actions if that is really the case then?”
“It would not be surprising if your uncle has another mistress judging by his personality, right?” Marcus chuckled.
William asked, “What do you mean? Are you indicating that all capable men would definitely have more than one lover apart from his wife?”
“No! That’s not what I meant!” Marcus denied and waved his hand.
“I know exactly what you mean. Alright then, do prepare the necessary arrangements to gain a fortune from Rammos. Give him the best private room, the highest-quality service, exquisite dishes, and select the best wine for the dinner. His apology show would then be much more interesting.”
“Noted, I’ll have it done right away!”
Marcus was about to leave but William suddenly stopped him. “Are there any updates between Hardy and Natasya?”
“Hardy and Paisley had gone to their hotel last night and I have arranged someone to find out about it. Hardy had invited the Anderson family to have dinner over there. However, I did not receive any further details about it.”
William nodded as he knew that it was wise for Marcus to keep a distance. After all, it was the Anthony family’s territory, and laying low can avoid Hardy from discovering their plan. Hardy must have other plans in mind based on his decision of inviting the Anderson family to have dinner together.
He would not sit back and relax knowing that he was plotted against by them based on his vicious personality. He would surely come up with a plan to deal with the Anderson family.
William could only assume that Hardy would flirt with both sisters at the same time. They would then fight among themselves to be the winner of the battle.
It would be hoped that Hardy would make a triumphant return!
Natasa was lying on the bed in the hotel and staring blankly at the ceiling. On the other hand, Talitha was making a phone call in the living room.
“Really? Are you going to pick me up at noon? We would then head to the seaside hotel to have some seafood?”
“Sure! That’s great! I haven’t had seafood for a long time and I’m really craving it nowadays! How lovely of you!”
“Alright then. I’ll get dressed for our date! You are planning to give me something? Really? Aww, I love you!”
Talitha began to boast about her dating life after hanging up the phone call. “Mummy, Hardy would be bringing me to have seafood at noon today at the best seafood hotel. He also intends to give me a present. What do you think that he ought to give me?”
“I have no idea. He hasn’t given you anything expensive and hasn’t proposed to you as well, right? Could it be possible that he intends to give you a ten-carat diamond ring to ask for your hand in marriage?”
“Really? I would be feeling on top of the world if that is the case!” Talitha chuckled happily and continued, “Mummy, I shall soon ask him to make you rich when the time comes.”
A trace of disdain had flashed across Natasya’s face upon hearing about it. That piece of shit was only concerned about fooling around and living a wealthy lifestyle. What an idiot.
Why was she so interested in being rich? Gaining the power and influence was the right way to go since Hardy was being under control, right?
However, a fool like Talitha was not ambitious enough and had wasted such a good opportunity.
Natasya felt moody upon thinking about this. She was much more excellent than Talitha but was now left with nothing. Her reputation had shattered into pieces until Hardy had the guts to harass her.
She was unwilling to let Hardy do things his way and thought that it would be great if she could have Hardy to herself.
However, he was currently being controlled by Talitha. Could Natasya snatch him away from her?
Things would eventually turn for the better if there was an antidote, right? Where on earth was it then?
Wait, something was not right. One could only be loyal towards the person who had poisoned him, right? Hardy had done the explicit act with Natasya last night. However, there was nothing wrong with him despite having betrayed Talitha.
Wasn’t this too strange when he was still behaving as if nothing had happened?
Why didn’t he suffer from any bad reaction at all? Was it because the vermin had a lower efficacy level than it claimed? However, his attitude towards Talitha had completed changed ever since he was being poisoned, right?
Natasya suddenly got up and was determined to figure things out.
She needed to ask Gonzalec about it as the vermin was given by him.
