Chapter 840 Is That A Cat or A Dog?

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

“I… I…” Azalea looked at the nurse’s disdainful expression. She felt annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.
True, she was the one staying in the hospital, but she didn’t know that it was so expensive. Besides, she wasn’t the one who wanted to live in such an expensive ward but the people in Wolf Group had arranged it. At that time, the staff who accompanied her to the hospital was very nice. It was a relief for her to know that Wolf Group would pay all the expenses.
Besides, William also came to visit her with Valeria last night. They even told her to bring up all her requests so that they would do their best to satisfy her. At that time, she still wanted to blackmail them. But now, Azalea couldn’t understand the sudden change of attitude.
Azalea didn’t want to give in just like this, so she said to the nurse, “Wait a minute, let me make a phone call.”
The nurse looked at Azalea with a sneer. Luckily, Azalea saved the Wolf Group’s manager’s phone number. He was actually the person who sent her to the hospital last night. She immediately took out her phone and called him. The call was only picked up after a while, “Hello?”
“This is Brian, right?” Azalea asked.
“Yes, who are you?” Brian’s tone surprised Azalea since he was very nice to her last night.
“I’m Azalea Clark.”
“Azalea? Is that a cat or a dog?” Brian replied sarcastically from the other side.
“Wait… I’m Azalea Clark, you sent me to the hospital last night after I got scalded in Wolf Group.”
“Got scalded in Wolf Group last night?! Are you kidding me? Wolf Group offers the best service. How would our employees do that? Mind your words, I’ll sue you if you continue.”
“Wait a minute, Brian, have you forgotten me? I got scalded while I was eating in the private room that William had booked with the Floyd family,” Azalea reminded him.
“What the hell are you talking about?!” Brian scolded her straightaway, “The private room William booked is the best one in Wolf Group. All the guests are either CEO of a company or famous celebrity. Who are you even? Why are you allowed in the room last night? Now you told me you’re scalded, are you crazy? If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll sue you!”
Brian scolded angrily and hung up the phone right after, leaving Azalea all confused, “Didn’t they say that they would compensate me for all the losses? Now they’re not going to admit it?”
The nurse, who was waiting for her payment, looked at her coldly and said, “Are you paying or are you waiting for me to call the security guard? Listen, if I called the security guard, they weren’t as nice as me. You don’t want to go to the police station, right?”
Azalea stared at the nurse’s mocking gaze, feeling ashamed and angry at the same time. She thought that the most important thing right then was to pay first, or else the nurse might say something more unpleasant.
It wasn’t a big deal if the nurse was going to mock her again. It was just that if she really called the security guards here, that would be really humiliating for her.
Azalea swallowed her anger. She then picked up her phone and paid the bill. The nurse then left after receiving the money.
Azalea was extremely depressed. Everyone was so nice towards her last night. Why did their attitude suddenly change?
What on earth happened?
She was extremely confused. After a while, her agent called her and asked her in an unpleasant tone, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you blacklisted again?”
“What? Blacklisted? What’s going on? Who did that?” Azalea was baffled.
“Wolf Group has already given the order. You are really dead this time!” The agent was not happy, “I ask you, what have you done? Why did you offend the Wolf Group again?!”
“I…” Azalea wanted to say that she didn’t offend Wolf Group, but she swallowed back her words instantly.
She suddenly remembered Natasya told her before that William was the CEO of Wolf Group. Did Wolf Group ban her just because she talked bad about the CEO’s wife to Deborah earlier?
Azalea tried to recall what happened. She realized that before Deborah came to see her, someone from the Wolf Group was taking care of her. After Deborah left, no one came in to look after her anymore.
So when she thought about it, Azalea realized that it wasn’t a coincidence. All of this happened after Deborah came to see her. So that meant Valeria had already known about what she had said to Deborah?
No way! She believed that when she talked to Deborah, her men were standing outside the door. Deborah also promised her that she would not tell anyone, so how did things spread out?
Azalea could not understand. She only knew that she was really dead this time because she had listened to Natasya’s words.
When Deborah and Angel returned to the hotel room, they saw Callum and Fandrey sitting on the sofa in the living room with a cold face.
Fandrey snorted when he saw that they have returned, “Where did you guys go?”
“We went to the hospital to see Azalea. She’s so pitiful…”
Angel was interrupted by Callum before she could finish her words, “Come here and sit down. I have something to ask you!”
Angel was stunned for a moment. Then, she went to sit beside Callum. Deborah glanced at Fandrey and asked, “What’s with the serious look?”
Fandrey did not answer, he just stared at Angel fiercely. After that, Callum spoke, “Last night in the private room, William’s wife fell next to you. You should be the person who knows the situation best. Tell us what happened at that time!”
Angel had thought of two possible scenarios when she tripped Valeria last night.
One was that Valeria would say nothing and swallow everything. The other was that Valeria would tell William that she was tripped by someone.
Angel thought that she had no intention to harm Valeria. Even if Valeria told William, William might not believe Valeria’s words. He would think Valeria must be thinking too much.
Angel believed that even if William suspected her, he wouldn’t question her because Valeria had no evidence. Thus, she thought that she could get away with it.
Angel thought that she got away with it already since nothing happened since yesterday. She did not expect Callum and Fandrey would ask her this question suddenly.
Angel controlled herself and replied as if nothing had happened, “I don’t remember much. At that time, I had been listening to everyone talking. I just heard her scream, and then when I turned around, I saw her running into the waiter. It happened so fast that I didn’t get to react at all.”
“You’ve been listening to us? What were we saying then?” Callum asked immediately, he was not someone who was so easy to deal with.
“Uh…” Words suddenly stuck in her throat. At that time, she was thinking about how to hurt Valeria, so she didn’t know what others were talking about.
Callum’s face darkened when Angel couldn’t answer his question. Deborah was listening to them all the time at the side, and she reminded Angel, “We were talking about the company in Misurton at that time, weren’t we? How did you forget?”
“Oh, I remembered. We were talking about the company’s matters,” Angel replied instantly.
When Callum saw that Angel could only answer after Deborah reminded her, he lost his trust in her completely. Therefore, he asked directly, “Tell me honestly, did you trip William’s wife?”
