Lamont’s voice was serious, which surprised William. “What’s so strange?”
“When I took Braelynn to the company this morning, I realized that an unknown car was following us.”
“Were they targeting Braelynn?” William was stunned.
“Yes, I thought I saw it wrongly at that time. After all, Braelynn didn’t offend anyone before and she didn’t do anything that would make someone stalk her whereabouts. After she went out to do something, she found a car tailing her and she also took photos deliberately. It was the same car I saw in the morning, but with a different driver.”
Lamont’s words made William frown. “Do you have any suspects?”
“I asked around. Apart from having attacked your cousin yesterday, Braelynn also met your grandmother in the hospital at night. She didn’t offend anyone else.”
Lamont suspected that the stalker was from the Floyd family. How could William not understand the situation? “I understand. I’ll arrange for some of my men to keep an eye on this matter. Don’t panic and just let Braelynn be at ease.”
Valeria sat next to William and heard their conversation clearly. “Hubby, who is tailing Braelynn? Is he from your grandfather’s family?”
“I’m not sure yet. Maybe!”
“What are they going to do? Are they going to kill Braelynn? She offended them because of me. I am worried about her, so you must ensure her safety.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let Braelynn get hurt at all,” William said and picked up his phone to send a message to Richard. “I’ll give you a chance to save a maiden in distress, do you want to do it or not?”
Richard replied, “Don’t beat around the bush. Just get to the point.”
“Braelynn may be facing some trouble recently. There’ll be a surprise waiting for you if you ask your men to keep an eye on her.”
“Are you helping me or using me?” Richard was not so easily fooled.
William answered honestly, “Both!”
“I know that you’re not that kind!” Richard had a contemptuous look on his face.
“Do you only want to accept it or not?”
“Of course! Wouldn’t I be a fool if I don’t take such a good opportunity?”
Raelyn dragged Natasya back to the ward desperately and reprimanded, “What are you trying to do? Shame on you! Do you know how many people are treating you like a joke?”
“Why would I care about my pride?” Natasya pointed at her own face and questioned Raelyn. “I’ve already become like this, so why do I need to have my pride? I’ll only live for myself now. I don’t care about anything else!”
“Isn’t Talitha your sister? She is not a stranger, and she is pregnant as well. How can you treat her like this?”
“What? Hehe, now you’re calling her my sister? Didn’t you and dad support my schemes against Valeria even when you knew that she was my cousin? Why didn’t you stop me then? If you had a conscience, you should have stopped me from framing Valeria. If I hadn’t carried out my plan back then, I wouldn’t be so miserable now. You are the culprit!”
Natasya’s accusation made Raelyn speechless. She didn’t feel anything wrong with it at all when she asked Natasya to snatch William away from Valeria. After all, although Valeria was her niece, she had no ties to the latter at all.
She would not feel guilty, but it was different now. Talitha and Natasya were sisters. She gave birth to them and they were her flesh and blood. How could not bear to part with either of them?
How could Raelyn keep her cool when she thought about the current situation of her two daughters? She begged in a pleading voice, “Natasya, I’m begging you. Can you give up Hardy? Just give up on him and let Talitha be. I’ll give you a sum of money.”
“Money? Aren’t we broke? I am not a fool, so you don’t have to convince me anymore. The only thing that matters to me now is being together with Hardy. Everything else is superficial and I won’t believe a word you say.”
“I can ask your grandfather for the money as I’ve begged him several times. His attitude has already softened towards me and he has plenty of money. As long as he gives it to me, I’ll pass everything to you!”
“You haven’t got it yet, right? I’m not interested in the unknown and I just want to live in the present,” Natasya sneered.
“Mom, it’s not that I’m cruel and I’m doing this for Talitha. I’m afraid you still don’t know what Talitha has done, do you? Then I won’t hide it from you today. The child in her belly isn’t Hardy’s and it belongs to another man. Do you think Hardy will raise another man’s child when he knows the truth?”
“What are you talking about?” Raelyn retorted.
“I have evidence here,” Natasya said while she took out the recording. “Let’s listen to what your stupid daughter has done.”
Raelyn was stunned after listening to it, “How could this happen? How could Talitha do this? Does she have a death wish?”
“Yes, she does. Do you think someone as stupid as Talitha can control Hardy?”
“Where did you get the recording? Are you going to deal with Talitha…” Raelyn was frightened. “If you dare to do that to her, I will never forgive you!”
“Whether or not I decide on carrying out my plan depends on Talitha’s actions. If she leaves quietly, I can guarantee that she will have no worries about her future. However, she can’t blame me for being cruel if she continues to pester me.”
“How can you be so crazy?! Why are you doing this?” Raelyn murmured.
Meanwhile, in the detention centre. Declan sat in his bed and looked at the window in a daze. Suddenly, the door was opened and the watchman stood at the door while he shouted, “Break time! Come out right now!”
Declan stood up and walked out of the room with heavy shackles around his feet. They brought along two other prisoners as well.
The sunshine outside was very bright. Declan stretched and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds with a greedy expression.
Ten minutes later, he and the other two men were sent back to the room.
The people in the other cells also began to go out for a walk. The only thing different was that the other prisoners would talk while they came out for a walk. When they passed Declan’s room, he clearly heard the discussion of those prisoners.
“D*mn, they really have strange taste in men. How can a pair of sisters sleep with the same man? Aren’t they constantly surrounded by different men? Besides, they’re from such a rich family. It’s such a shame.”
“Hush. You can’t let the guards hear about this. If they cut off our contact with the outside world, what else can we rely on to entertain ourselves?”
“Don’t worry, we’re not serious criminals and we’ll just be locked up for a few days. The guards won’t discipline us too strictly. I say, buddy, don’t you have an explicit video of Natasya and Hardy? Let’s watch it later.”
“No problem. We’ll watch it together.”
Declan’s eyes were full of anger when he heard this. The footsteps outside passed and he clenched his fists.
Did this matter become so serious? He had always thought that it was a lie, but Talitha and Natasya actually began to fight each other for a man. Why didn’t Devon and Raelyn stop them?
What on earth were they going to do?
