The living room was lit up in the Anthony family’s villa and a French movie was playing on the TV. Paisley was sitting on the sofa with a remote control in her hand as she stared absent-mindedly into space.
It was already two in the morning. Why was there still no news from Hardy?
“Is there something wrong?”
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the phone rang. Paisley grabbed the phone and picked it up. “Hello!”
“Miss, something happened! Mr. Anthony and Bevan were both arrested by the police!”
“How could this happen? Isn’t the Anderson family in trouble now? Why would the police know about this?” Paisley asked subconsciously.
“I don’t know, but I heard that the police suddenly attacked them. Mr. Anthony and Bevan were both at the scene when they arrived, and Natasya was covered in blood because her eyes have been removed. Things don’t look too good. Miss, you have to find a way to solve this quickly!”
“Damn it!” Paisley cursed in a low voice. She really did not expect this to happen at all. There was no one left in the Anderson family and Natasya was alone all alone. No one would care whether she was alive, nor would anyone stand up for her.
Hardy planned to leave immediately after drinking the blood from Natasya’s heart to remove the hex, and the rest of the plan would be settled by the doctor. Anyway, no one would pay attention to Natasya’s affairs. Her death could be kept under wraps no matter what, so they didn’t expect such an accident to happen halfway.
Paisley took her mobile phone and walked around the house in a daze. She knew that something serious was going on, so she tried to get Hardy out first. Hardy and Bevan were taken away by the police on the spot, also it was very difficult for them to get out of this situation.
She had to think of a good solution. For now, she had to spend money to find someone to suppress this matter. Paisley thought in her heart, but she received another phone call, “Miss, Mr. Anthony’s matter has been publicized, and several media platforms have already released the news. What should we do?”
“What?” Paisley was dumbfounded. She wanted to use all of her connections to suppress this matter. She would definitely do it even if she had to use half of her family’s assets. Now the matter had already been publicized, she could no longer solve it with money.
Paisley couldn’t solve the problem anymore since it had become so serious and she had to ask for help immediately. Paisley picked up her phone and dialled a foreign number. “Dad, Hardy is in trouble!”
The news that Hardy and his assistant cruelly removed organs from a living person was reported very quickly.
All the photos were in the headlines. Natasya could be seen lying on the operating table as she was dying, and there were also photos of Hardy drinking blood.
How could such a big thing be suppressed? The news appeared with all kinds of titles.
It was so shocking that Hardy, the president of Acma Corporation, would work together with a subordinate to remove organs from a living person!
Hardy was labelled as an inhumane CEO who devalued human life!
The topic of Hardy extracting human organs had reached more than 10 billion views.
Hardy’s father was also stunned when he received Paisley’s call. He shouted angrily, “Bastard! I asked him to manage the company, so why did he do something like this?”
“Dad, Hardy didn’t want to do it either. He was set up by someone!”
“What? Who framed him? If he was innocent, who would want to scheme against him in the first place?” Their father roared.
“Dad, now is not the time to scold Hardy. You have to find a way to save him! Otherwise, he will be finished!” Paisley was very anxious.
“How can I do that? How can I suppress such a big piece of news? I can still think of a way if the matter hasn’t been exposed yet. What can I do now? The stock price of the company would drop tremendously. I can no longer save him, but I’ll try to reduce the impact of this matter on the company’s image as much as possible. I need to prevent the company’s stock price from crashing.”
Paisley felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. “Dad, the company needs to be managed, but how can you ignore Hardy?”
“What can I do? Anyway, they won’t give him the death penalty, and he’ll be in jail for a few years at most! I’ll deal with him after I suppress the negative influence on the company,” Mr. Anthony replied coldly.
“Dad, Hardy can’t go to jail! His whole life will be ruined!”
“Do you still think that he can come out safely in this situation? Even if he can, there is no way he can continue to be in this position. How can a criminal continue to lead the company? Even if I want to give him the rights to do so, do you think the other shareholders will agree?”
Paisley hung up the phone helplessly when she heard that her father had completely given up on Hardy.
Hardy’s incident had a serious impact. When Valeria was having breakfast, Hayden and William told her that Hardy had been arrested and Natasya was crippled.
Since she was pregnant, William did not reveal too many details. He simply said a few key points and brushed it off.
Valeria did not ask further either since Hardy and Natasya were not good people. They deserved it. She was not interested nor did she have the strength to pay attention to such vicious people.
William went to the company after breakfast. When Valeria saw him off, she especially reminded William to come back early and accompany Hayden to watch the opera performance.
After William left, she went to the garden alone to take a stroll and went to visit the amusement park that Hayden had built for her children. The sun was scorching hot, so one of the helpers followed Valeria to the garden with an umbrella. On the way, she received a phone call from a stranger.
Valeria ignored it and rejected it directly, but the phone immediately rang again. She picked it up in confusion. “Hello?”
“Miss Brown, it’s me! I’m Paisley. Can we see each other?” Paisley’s voice was not arrogant as usual and she sounded pitiful.
Valeria frowned in disgust and refused directly when she heard that the other party was Paisley, “I’m sorry, I’m not interested and I don’t have the time to see you!”
“Miss Brown, please meet me! I have something urgent to talk to you about. I won’t delay your time, just give me a few minutes, okay?” Paisley begged in a soft voice, “I beg you to give me a few minutes? I am now at the door of your house, please, Miss Brown!”
It was really rare for Paisley to beg for help in such a soft voice. Valeria guessed that Paisley wanted to see her because of Hardy’s matter. The trouble he had caused must’ve had an extremely negative impact on his family. The Anthony family must have given up on him, so the only thing Paisley could do was beg for help on his behalf. But what could Valeria do to change the situation?
Once bitten, twice shy. She didn’t want to pay attention to such a despicable person like Paisley. After all, she was pregnant with two babies. If Paisley wanted to do something to her, the losses would outweigh the gains.
Valeria ignored Paisley and directly blacklisted her phone number.
She thought that Paisley would give up because of this, but she did not expect that Paisley would refuse to leave. Soon after that, Paisley started to scream at the top of her voice while she stood at the front gate.
