The woman’s face was swollen after being slapped while Ornard was full of embarrassment. “Veronica, you…”
“I have something important to talk to you about. Get this bitch get out of here!”
The woman felt very wronged after being slapped in the face and she thought Ornard would stand up for her. But when she heard Veronica addressing Ornard as her brother, she immediately kept silent as she pulled on her clothes and left without saying anything.
Only Veronica and Ornard were left in the office. Ornard tidied up his clothes and looked at Veronica fawningly. “Veronica, why are you here?”
“What do you mean by that? Are you unhappy to see me? I thought you… I didn’t expect you to be like this. If I didn’t come today, wouldn’t I be kept in the dark for the rest of my life?”
Ornard coaxed Veronica with a smile as she questioned him. “I was just playing around, so you don’t have to take it to heart!”
“Ha, ha! What a good show! Your private life is pretty interesting. Since you don’t care about your dignity even in your own company, what devious things have you done outside?”
“This was the only time! I swear!” Ornard stretched out his hand and pulled Veronica to sit down. “What can I do for you?”
Veronica thought of her purpose of coming here when she heard Ornard’s. Her anger subsided and she said, “I just received news that Fandrey gave away the Misurton amusement park.”
Ornard was extremely surprised and asked, “How could it be possible? It’s such a huge amusement park! Who did he give it to?”
“Who else could it be? He gave it to William and said that it was a gift for William’s twins.”
Veronica gnashed her teeth and said, “They are really generous. If they keep giving away their assets like this, the Howards would eventually take over the Floyd family’s company! Ornard, you should find a way to stop it. I married Callum because of the Floyd family’s properties, but I have nothing at all even though I have married him for more than 20 years. I’m not satisfied!”
Ornard’s face darkened. “How can I stop them? For what reason? The company’s shares have nothing to do with you. Deborah is in control of the company and Callum doesn’t take you seriously. Do you think that an outsider like me can stop the Floyd family from doing anything?”
“Are you going to just stand by and watch them give away their properties?” Veronica asked exasperatedly. “No, I won’t allow such a thing to happen! I must stop it! These two old baastards are trying to gain the favour of outsiders, so they can’t blame me for being cruel. Ornard, don’t you have connections in the country? You should hire someone to kill them!”
Ornard was shocked and asked, “Are you crazy?”
“I’m not! I can’t live like this any longer and I can’t wait any more. Let’s do it!”
“No! This is no small matter.” Ornard shook his head. “Let me tell you. Didn’t I arrange for someone to attack Emily last time? It didn’t work out because the local security force was much better than we thought. Do you really want to kill the elders of the Floyd family? That’s impossible!”
“Then what should I do? I have been tolerating them for more than 20 years! Do you know what life I have lived all this while? I have always been living in loneliness. Callum is respectful to me on the surface, but he hates to even touch me when we’re alone. I have been tolerating them for our plan, but what did I get in the end? I can’t bear it! You must find a way for me!”
When Ornard saw the madness in Veronica’s eyes, he suppressed the irritation in his heart and reached out to comfort her. “Okay, I didn’t say that I don’t care about you. Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out. It’s not a small matter to kill the two old b*stards of the Floyd family, so this can’t be rushed. We’ll have to think it over!”
Meanwhile, in the Saunders family. Gavin was feeding the fish by the pond, and his expression was grim. Arthur had told him that Valeria was pregnant with twin sons. He thought that Valeria was angry with him, so she would not take the initiative to tell him about it.
If Valeria didn’t want to talk about it, how could Archer not mention anything about it? After all, it was not a small matter. As long as Archer called him and told him, he would take the initiative to send a gift. But after he waited for a few days, there was no movement from Archer and it was as if the latter had disappeared.
Gavin felt extremely depressed. Everyone in this family didn’t take him seriously. What did he do wrong to let them do this to him?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He threw the fish food in his hand into the pond before he stood up and walked away.
When he walked to the courtyard, he heard the sound of a car braking sharply at the door. The sound was extremely harsh and unpleasant. Then, he frowned and looked in the direction of the door. Just then, Raelyn got out of the car and her hair was disheveled.
When she saw Gavin, she began to cry out loud, “Dad, you have to stand up for me! Talitha… My daughter died so miserably!”
Gavin was shocked and he thought that he had misheard her, “What did you say? What happened to Talitha?”
“Talitha is gone! Boohoo… She’s still so young… She is only in her early twenties and she’s in the prime of her life… Boohoo… She died so miserably!” Raelyn staggered in and knelt at Gavin’s feet as she held his legs and cried bitterly.
Gavin looked at Raelyn, who was hugging his leg and crying on the ground in astonishment. “Talitha is gone? How can that be? What happened?”
“She was found drowned to death in a reservoir located in the outskirts early this morning. We found out that Talitha was gone when the police issued an investigation report. I have already identified the body. She died so miserably! Dad, you have to stand up for Talitha! You must avenge her!”
“What? Did she drown? Do you mean that Talitha was killed by someone? Who did this to her?”
“She only contacted Raymond before she had an accident. Raymond has always wanted to seek revenge on Talitha. This must be Raymond’s fault!”
“Don’t talk nonsense without evidence!” Although Gavin was very distressed about Talitha’s death, he was still very unhappy that Raelyn had framed Raymond like this.
“Who said that I didn’t have evidence? The police also said that the last person Talitha called was Raymond. The last text message was also sent to him. She wanted to meet up with Raymond to discuss some things. Raymond must’ve wanted Talitha to do something, but she refused. That must be the reason why he attacked her!”
“Raymond is kind and he’s not such a vicious person!” Gavin still didn’t believe it.
“Dad, don’t be deceived by Raymond. I’m telling you, he is unbelievably cunning.” Raelyn wiped her tears.
“When Talitha caused trouble with you, it was Raymond’s orders. Not only did he incite Talitha to slander me in front of you and make our relationship tense, but he also ordered Talitha to buy abortion drugs to deal with Natasya, who was pregnant at that time. It’s a pity that Natasya’s child is gone and she’s still in the hospital right now. Even so, Raymond laid out such a vicious plan to hurt Talitha. Is it going to be my turn next? He will not give up until we are all killed!”
