Marcus left the hotel suite and returned to Wolf Group headquarters to report the situation to William, “Mr. Howard, I’ve already shown the video to the Floyd family, this should be the end of it.”
William replied casually and fiddled with his pen for a while, “My grandfather and uncle must feel very embarrassed, right?”
“Yes, before I showed them the video, their attitude was very bad toward me, but it became even worse after watching the video,” Marcus was actually telling the truth.
William laughed and said, “I won’t let this slide just like this. With how shameless and evil Angel is, I’m sure that she will definitely take revenge. In order to prevent unnecessary trouble in the future, I have to adjust something.”
“Adjust?” Marcus stared at William confusingly.
William nodded and picked up his phone to make a call, “Bobby, order all the bodyguards that are in charge of protecting Valeria from now on, don’t let Angel get close to Valeria. If something like this happens again, don’t worry, they are allowed to take action. As long as they didn’t kill Angel, they are allowed to do what they want.”
Marcus was beyond shocked, William’s words meant that Angel would be in danger if she continued to plot against Valeria. Those bodyguards used to be mercenaries, so when they fight, they never lose. If William told them they can do anything they want to Angel, it would be 100% sure that Angel would end up disabled.
Marcus knew that if Angel became disabled, then the relationship between the Floyd family and William would definitely be irreconcilable, so he immediately spoke, “Mr. Howard…”
William waved his hand and stopped him from speaking, “I know what you’re worried about. I’m not born vicious, but if I endure this matter again and again, she will become even worse. What Angel could do is not a small matter, it’ll cause a lot of trouble. You know what life I’ve been living these past few years. After meeting Valeria, I realized that life can be so wonderful. I can even tell you that in my heart, grandparents, uncles, and cousins can’t even compare to my wife and my child.”
In fact, William had already shown them enough mercy. The rest was up to the Floyd family, it was up to them to deal with this matter.
As long as the Floyd family was reasonable, they should know that it was time to keep an eye on Angel. The best way was to send Angel back, don’t let her continue staying here to cause trouble.
Since William had already made up his mind, Marcus knew that there would be no use persuading him. He had no choice but to change the topic, “Regarding Declan’s matter, I’ve already made some arrangements. I’ve already revealed the current situation of Talitha and Natasya to him according to you. Mr. Howard, do you think he will ask to meet you?”
“No, he won’t see me now. When he heard about his daughter’s news at first, he will suspect that it must be me who revealed it to him on purpose. Before he sees that his daughter is really suffering, he will not want to meet me.”
“Then we can only wait for Natasya to make her move, I wonder how she will do it?”
William laughed at Marcus’ words, “I’m sure she’ll tell Hardy that the child in Talitha’s belly does not belong to him. She wants Hardy to make his move first, so now, everything is up to Hardy.”
In the hospital, Natasya picked up her phone and dialed Hardy’s number again, but the call still couldn’t get through so she scolded in a low voice, “Damn it!”
Natasya knew why he couldn’t reach Hardy. The man must be trying to avoid her and Talitha so changed his cell phone number.
Hardy must have sensed that he was being controlled and wanted to avoid all contact with her.
Natasya thought that she had to find a way to force Hardy to show up since she couldn’t meet or reach him.
After a while, Natasya picked up the other phone next to her, entered Paisley’s number, and sent an audio file to her.
Paisley glanced at her phone when it rang. The title caught her attention immediately, ‘Talitha’s Test-Tube Baby is Confirmed’.
The title made Paisley froze for a moment and she clicked on it immediately.
The voice of a man and a woman could be heard, “She was wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses when she came to me. She said that she wanted to have a test tube baby and she was willing to pay, so I helped her.”
“Where did the eggs and sperm of the infant come from?” The man asked.
“It was taken from the sperm bank of the hospital.”
“How do you know she is Talitha Anderson?”
“I didn’t know before it, but I recognized her when I saw her news.”
“That is to say, the child in her belly has nothing to do with Hardy or herself?”
“That’s right!”
The recording stopped abruptly, and Paisley’s eyes widened in shock. After listening to it again, she immediately called Hardy.
“Hardy, I just received an audio file from an unknown number. It said that the baby in Talitha’s belly doesn’t belong to you or Talitha.”
Hardy was also surprised when he heard this, “What? There’s such news? Could it be that someone else made it up to cast a bone between us?”
“It’s no use trying to do that right? After all, you will know if the child belongs to you after it’s born.”
Paisley took a breath and continued, “And the Anderson family is despicable and shameless, they can do anything. Now, I really think that there is something wrong with this. The child definitely is not yours, but it must be Talitha who did it just so she could get to a higher position!”
Hardy remained silent, and his expression wasn’t very good. If the child in Talitha’s belly was not his, then he would be a joke to everyone.
He was threatened by the Anderson family but he endured it because of the child. If the child was his, at least he won’t be so embarrassed. Otherwise, that would really be humiliating.
Hardy recalled all the memories of himself and Talitha, and his doubt grew greater.
He figured that Talitha’s pregnancy was indeed very strange, there must be something wrong with this. Now the most urgent thing was to find out the truth. He could not be the dad without knowing what happened for no reason.
Hardy thought as he looked at Bevan next to him. Then, he said, “Can Talitha do the paternity test already?”
Bevan shook his head and replied, “I don’t know, let me ask.”
Bevan immediately called the doctor that he knew and asked if it was possible to do the paternity test with the baby still in the mother’s stomach.
The doctor first asked how many months was the baby and he provided three methods. First, the mother’s venous blood could be used for a paternity test. Then, there was a method called Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) and Amniocentesis.
Bevan immediately told Hardy right after, “Boss, which one do you want to do?”
“Either one of the first two methods then!” Hardy replied.
“Should I arrange it now? But Talitha is in the hospital now and Raelyn has been accompanying her. It will be better for you to show up to go through the process, but Raelyn might notice you.”
“I’ll go there myself tomorrow and I will pretend to visit her. Then, I’ll find a chance to do that.”
