Meanwhile, Angel was happily packing her things in the Floyd family and she prepared three trunks just to store her luxury handbags. Just then, Veronica knocked on the door and came in. She was shocked when she saw Angel carrying so many bags. “Angel, why are you preparing so many things? Can’t you just take two or three bags?”
“These are all necessities! I’m telling you, I eavesdropped on Grandpa and Grandma’s conversation, and it seems like I’ll have to be away for a long time. I have to accompany my cousin to various events and I can’t possibly use the same bag all the time, right?”
Veronica smiled. “What kind of events will your cousin attend?”
“You don’t know, do you? I heard…” Angel looked at the door and lowered her voice. “Mom, I heard that his identity is very powerful and he is a great man.”
“That can’t be,” Veronica looked surprised. “Who told you that?”
“I heard it from Grandpa and Grandma. I felt that my cousin was different from the first time I saw him and he’s unbelievably good looking. He looked so eye-catching and he must be very smart. It’s just as I expected! Alas, it’s a pity that my cousin will be with someone else!” Angel sighed.
“What do you mean? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?” Veronica asked.
“Why don’t you get it? He’s good-looking and capable, and I would marry him if he wasn’t related to me. It’s a pity that he’s my cousin. I have no choice but to let those women take advantage of him.”
Veronica smiled. “You can’t say that in front of Grandpa and Grandma. They’ll scold you if they hear you.”
“I’m not stupid. Mom, why won’t you go with us?” Angel asked Veronica, “It’ll be fun there. Are you tired of staying here? Why don’t you come back with us?”
“Your father and grandparents are going back to work, but I don’t know anything about the company’s affairs anyway.” Veronica forced a smile.
“We can have a good time there and we can have fun. Why don’t I tell Dad that you want to go with us?”
“There’s no need for that because I’m not acclimatized to the culture there. I’ll only cause trouble when I go back.” Veronica left in a hurry after refusing Angel’s suggestion.
Angel looked at Veronica’s expression and frowned. She sat down by the bed and picked up her phone to send a message to Natasya. “I’ll be back tomorrow night and my grandparents will be back too.”
Natasya saw the message from Angel and a trace of surprise flashed across her face. She immediately went to look for Raelyn. “Mom, the heads of the Floyd family are going back. It must be to deal with Valeria!”
“Are you sure?” Raelyn asked in return.
“Of course, if you don’t believe me, just wait and see.” Natasya was extremely excited. “Mom, did you beg Grandpa as I asked you to?”
“Your grandfather refuses to see me,” Raelyn replied.
“Didn’t I tell you to kneel down and beg? Why don’t you beg him?”
“If he doesn’t let me enter the door, how can I kneel down and beg?” Raelyn answered irritably.
“You’re right. If they don’t let you enter, you should kneel at the door and then faint for at least an hour. I don’t believe that Grandpa will be so cruel. Didn’t he feel sorry for you in the past?”
“Let me think about it again!” Raelyn felt that it was too shameful to kneel in front of the servants.
Natasya snorted coldly when she saw that Raelyn was being overcautious. “Well, if you don’t want to, then don’t do it. I don’t care anyway and I’m going to do my things now.”
“What do you have to do? I have something to ask you, what happened to you in the morning?” Raelyn also realized that there was something wrong with Natasya in the morning, so she didn’t ask her daughter about it.
“What?” Natasya pretended to be confused. She had intended to provoke Talitha, but the latter did not respond to her at all. However, Raelyn asked her about it instead.
“Stop acting like this. You were completely different when you came back this morning. There’s a strange smell on your body and you have hickeys on your neck. Who are you dating?”
“You will know in the future! I don’t want to say it now!” Natasya was reluctant to say it, so Raelyn was a little angry. “Why don’t you tell me now? Is that person shameful?”
“Yes, he is indeed despicable!” Natasya interrupted Raelyn.
“What?” Raelyn was so angry that she gasped. “Who on earth is it? You must tell me today!”
“You’ll know when I tell you. What are you worried about? All right, let’s stop talking about this. I need to go back and take a shower.”
After saying this, Natasya ignored Raelyn and left. Then, she returned to her room and closed the door while a cold smile flashed across her face.
If even Raelyn realized that something was wrong, there was no way that Talitha could have missed it.
Talitha should not have introduced her to Hardy in the first place. In this case, Natasya would set up her scheme and let Talitha find out about her affair with Hardy. After that, Natasya would completely expose the truth to the public.
Meanwhile, at the Acma Corporation, the mysterious person finally called Hardy again after a long period of silence.
“Callum and the head of the Floyd family are going back to the mainland.”
Hardy was very dissatisfied with the mysterious caller because of what happened to Declan last time. “What does it have to do with me?”
“How can it have nothing to do with you? The head of the Floyd family came back because of William and Valeria. Aren’t you going to add fuel to the fire?”
“William and Valeria are already married to each other and they’re expecting a child. What’s the point of adding fuel to the fire? Can the elders of the Floyd family force William and Valeria to divorce each other? Will William listen to them even if they do that?” Hardy retorted.
“It’s better if he rebukes their decision as it’ll cause a huge commotion. Natasya has spread rumors that William is being controlled by Valeria. Natalie has also been blamed for Matilda’s accident last time. You should know the importance of these two matters as well. As long as the Floyd family believes that William is really being controlled by Valeria, things will be different.”
The mysterious caller sighed, “I mean, you can add fuel to the fire and reinforce the truth that Valeria is controlling William to the Floyd family. They will definitely not allow such a thing to happen. At that time, there will be internal strife between the Saunders and the Floyd family. We can take advantage of the situation by then.”
“You’re right, but I’m afraid that things aren’t that simple! The Floyd family isn’t stupid and they won’t be strung along so easily.” Hardy was embarrassed because of what happened to Declan last time, but he was controlled by Talitha now. He couldn’t express his dilemma at this moment, so he naturally wasn’t enthusiastic about the mysterious man’s proposal.
The mysterious man heard Hardy’s perfunctory words and sneered. “You’ll know whether it’ll work once you take action. Are you willing to be suppressed by William like this? I’m telling you, William will seek revenge for what happened. Do you think he’ll let you go after what you did to him? Just because he’s not taking any action doesn’t mean that he won’t punish you. Maybe he’s coming up with his plan now. You have to leave yourself a way out, right?”
The mysterious man’s words snapped Hardy out of his reverie. He had tried to kill William before and it would be strange if William let him off now.
He was in a serious dilemma now. If he teamed up with the mysterious man, at least he could have a helper. Otherwise, he would definitely be defeated if he worked alone. Hence, he had no choice but to agree sulkily, “I’ll try!”
