Emily frowned as she looked at Azalea’s message. Was Valeria really that vicious?
If that was the case, she had to pay more attention to this situation, however, she wanted to prevent having a biased view of the situation, so she asked Thomas about it, “Thomas, I still want to ask you about how Azalea got injured tonight. Do you think it was purely an accident, or is there another reason that this happened?”
“Aunty, it was just an accident. I told you that Valeria accidentally tripped and hit the waiter. All the waiters in the Wolf Group are well trained, so he stabilized himself really quickly. If Azalea hadn’t jumped up rashly, she wouldn’t have been hurt at all.”
“But it’s normal for Azalea to panic in that situation. I just want to verify one thing. Is it possible for Valeria to plan all of this because she deliberately wanted to target Azalea?”
“How is that possible? Where did you get such a strange idea?”
“Thomas, it’s not strange at all. Azalea and Valeria used to be in conflict, and Azalea was banned from approaching Valeria after provoking her in the past. I had to ask Rammos to take Azalea to apologize in-person to solve this problem. I don’t know much about Valeria, but I’m afraid that she hasn’t calmed down and deliberately targeted Azalea.”
“Auntie, did Azalea tell you these speculations? I knew she was up to no good! Let me tell you this. Valeria is very simple and doesn’t have any scheming intentions. She’s straightforward and doesn’t do these kinds of things in private. If she wanted to deal with Azalea, she would slap her in public instead of playing dirty tricks!”
Emily was surprised by his high evaluation of Valeria, “What if she just put on an act? Some people are good at pretending…”
“Why does she need to pretend? She’s the eldest daughter of the Saunders family and William’s wife. Why would she need to pretend to deal with someone like Azalea? Who does Azalea think she is? What right does she have to make Valeria plot against her? Oh yea, you should know that William brought Valeria tonight for her to meet the Floyd family, right? She would be a fool to scheme against Azalea right in front of them.”
Thomas’s perspective made Emily ponder. Indeed, Valeria was not a fool, and she could deal with Azalea whenever she wanted, so there was no reason for her to do anything to Azalea in front of the Floyd family.
Wouldn’t she leave a bad impression of herself on the Floyd family? So, Azalea’s words were exaggerated.
Therefore, Emily decided to wait and see, since she couldn’t easily believe Azalea’s words.
When William left the hospital with a gloomy face, Valeria knew that he was in a bad mood, so she took his hand and said, “Honey, I’m fine. Don’t be angry, okay? This is just my guess, and it might have nothing to do with her. I haven’t had any troubles with her, and I haven’t offended her, so she has no reason to be so vicious, right?”
William touched her head, but he did not feel better despite her attempt at comforting him.
If it was someone else, he would have dealt with them immediately tonight. But Angel was a member of the Floyd family, so he had to have evidence before dealing with her, instead of acting recklessly.
However, he could not find any evidence that Angel had tripped Valeria. Valeria said that Angel had tripped her, and William trusted her unconditionally, but would the Floyd family believe it?
The Floyd family did not have a good impression of Valeria. If he dealt with Angel with no evidence, Fandrey and Deborah would certainly blame it all on Valeria, so he had to find a good way to deal with this situation.
The car stopped at the door of the old estate, and Hayden came out accompanied by Lucas, “I heard that something happened? What exactly happened?”
“Valeria is fine, but Azalea was scalded, and she’s now being treated in the hospital,” William replied.
Hayden immediately asked, “Something else is going on, right?”
“No, it was just an accident. Dad, don’t think too much about it!”
Hayden’s expression was very serious, “How can I not think too much? The Floyd family is filled with all sorts of strange people, you’re unlucky if you interact with them.”
“Dad, I also have the Floyd family’s blood in my veins. Does that you’ll be unlucky if you interact with me?”
Hayden realized that he made it sound bad, so he clarified, “I’m just making an analogy. Anyway, since Valeria has already seen them today, she doesn’t need to see them anymore.”
William smiled bitterly, “I know! I won’t let her see them so easily in the future.”
After taking Valeria back to the bedroom, William went to the bathroom to fill the bathtub with water for her bath.
Marcus called him, so he went out to answer the phone, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Howard, the test report we sent today has come out. Angel and Emily have no blood ties!”
“She’s not Emily’s child? Then whose child is she?” William asked in reply, but Marcus didn’t know either, “Perhaps she is your uncle’s child with another woman?”
“So there is another woman besides Emily? If so, why is he so obsessed with Emily? It’s too strange!”
William found it puzzling because Callum didn’t look like the kind of person who would play around with women. He went as far as to help Emily with starting a new company, so it didn’t make sense for him to be with another woman.
As he thought about it, Marcus reported again, “There is one more thing. The news that Azalea was burned tonight was posted in the forums of various websites, and the publishers secretly implied that Valeria planned for it to happen.”
William sneered when he heard Marcus’s words, “Haha, it seems like all sorts of strange things are happening now!”
“I’ve already sent people to investigate the source of the information, and the contents of the news have been deleted. However, I’m worried that there’s something that we missed since the person who plotted this would definitely not let it pass so easily. Mr. Howard, do you have anyone in mind?”
William did not speak as he thought about the people tonight. Except for Angel, the other members of the Floyd family would not do something like this. The other two people left were Azalea and Thomas. Azalea was injured, so she would not have the time to do such a thing, and Thomas was not stupid enough to do something like this. Therefore, only Angel was left for his focus of suspicion.
However, it was impossible for Angel to complete this task alone when she just arrived in the country, so she must have had acquaintances to help her.
Angel had no one else that she was familiar with within this country, and she would definitely not use the people in the Floyd family. Therefore, Natasya was the only possible accomplice in this situation, since she definitely did not let go of what had happened in the past.
Natasya definitely approached Angel first. In that case, he could not delay the Anderson family’s affairs anymore, and he had to solve it as soon as possible. He ordered Marcus, “Tell Natasya that Talitha’s child is not Hardy’s.”
