In B City Hospital, Paisley was sitting on her bed and making a phone call. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “Dad, one of my hands has been completely broken, and my brother is as worse as me. Do you not care about us? Are you going to just ignore us?”
Paisley’s father felt helpless and sighed, “Paisley, it’s not that I don’t care. I’m also worried but now I really have no time. What happened to your brother had affected us a lot. Our company is in a mess now, and our company overseas has also been affected. I have to deal with the companies first. Besides, we have nothing on William so there’s nothing else I can do, right?”
“I don’t believe that you don’t have a way to deal with him. As long as you want to, you’ll come up with a way! You’ve been forced into this by William. Even if it’s for the sake of your reputation, you have to fight him to the end in the future. If you don’t even care about what happened between me and my brother, then William will become even more desperate to bully the Anthony family.”
Paisley’s words made her father shake his head. Mrs. Anthony, who was standing beside him, sneered, “You can’t listen to what Paisley says. As far as I know, William is a person as long as no one provokes him. If we don’t provoke him, why would he do anything to us? Isn’t it Paisley and Hardy’s own fault if they became like this now? They were the ones who framed William, all William did was just fight back.”
Paisley got mad when she heard what the woman said, “Dad, don’t listen to that woman, that woman is not pure in the heart! I know she wishes that Hardy would never get out of the prison so that her son could be the heir to our family!”
Mr. Anthony frowned when he heard that and said, “Alright, don’t talk about your stepmother like this. Well, about this, I can’t do anything now. I’ll see what I can do and let’s talk about it after I come up with a way.”
It was obvious that Mr. Anthony was trying to refuse Paisley. When Paisley heard that, she was so angry that her face turned red, but there was nothing she could do. So, she hung up the phone straight away and cursed, “Damn it! I can’t believe you are all so heartless. Very well, you guys wait and see. If I’m suffering, I’ll make you all suffer too!!”
Paisley knew that she was at the end of her rope now. In the past, she could do whatever she wanted since Hardy would protect her. Now that Hardy was done for, her father would not care about her. Also, with her stepmom by her father’s side, her life would only get worse.
Paisley felt extremely uneasy when she thought about everything she had to face in the future. One of her hands had been completely broken, and her reputation had been ruined. She had totally become a joke.
She almost went crazy when she thought of how William and Valeria were still taking wedding photos and preparing for the wedding as if nothing had happened.
Paisley hated William so much now. How much she used to love him before, that was how much she hated him now.
She figured that she must destroy what she couldn’t get. She would do everything she could to ruin William. As long as William would be ruined, she could do anything and everything.
She had to find a way to revenge, she hated herself very much now.
Back then, she was so in love with William, and no one could stop her. If she was able to let go of William and married a man from a good family at that time, she would at least have a backup now.
Now that her father did not want to help, and she had no one to depend on, how could she get her revenge?
The more Paisley thought about it, the more anxious she became. Just then, her phone dinged, and a message came in, “Hello, Ms. Anthony. I have some information about William, do you want to know?”
“Who are you?” Paisley replied cautiously.
“I am your brother’s friend. Your brother should have told you about me before, right?”
“You are the person who has never revealed your identity when you called my brother? What can I do for you?” Paisley immediately thought of it.
“I find you because I want to help you. Ms. Anthony, I feel very sorry for what happened to your brother and you. Please allow me to offer my condolences to you.”
Paisley stared at the message on the screen and sneered, “There’s no need to offer me your condolences. There must be a reason that you came to me, right? Just tell me what you want directly.”
“Okay, since Ms. Anthony likes it straightforward, I won’t hide it anymore. I know you hate William very much now. I have astonishing news to tell you, Ms. Anthony. Here it is, Callum’s bodyguard is dead. Before he died, William’s people were tracking him. Now, Callum suspects that William was the one who did it. When the two met, there was a conflict. Callum has already called the police. So, Ms. Anthony, do you have any idea what you should do next?”
“Is that true? Are Callum and William really on bad terms?” Paisley asked.
“Of course it’s true, I have no reasons to lie to you about this news. What I heard is that Callum and William had a very unpleasant meeting. Callum chose to call the police in anger. David’s death is an excellent opportunity for us to create a conflict between Callum and William. Ms. Anthony, don’t you want to take this opportunity?”
“Of course I want to, but why don’t you do it yourself and ask me instead?” Paisley replied.
“I have my own reasons, I can’t show up. Ms. Anthony, it will take very long to deal with William. He’s smart and alert, please don’t confront him unless you have to, do you understand?”
“Just tell me what you want me to do,” Paisley said.
“Ms. Anthony, you can try to make their conflict public and make it difficult for them to reconcile. After that, we can sit back and enjoy the show!”
Paisley stared at the text for a while and replied, “I can do that, but I have to see you, I have to know who you are!”
“As long as you get this thing done, I will meet you.”
Paisley knew that the other person was the one who was in control of everything. She could do nothing if that person did not want to meet her. Anyways, she managed to get some help now. Therefore, she figured that she had to do this for the sake of continuing to cooperate with the person in the future.
After that, Paisley immediately called one of her men and said, “You go to spread the news that William has arranged for people to kill Callum’s bodyguards now! Also, spend double the money to hire the internet water army to write posts about William. You must do everything you can to associate David’s death with William!”
“Miss, I’m afraid that it won’t be easy to get William involved. After all, he just sent people to follow after David, there’s no direct evidence to prove that it was his people who did it.”
“What do you know about this? The purpose of my plan is to make Callum and William turn against each other. Since Callum has already called the police, it proves that he has suspected William of doing it. William is too powerful now, if he and Callum fight among themselves, then our chance comes. I am not going to watch my brother get beaten up like this for nothing, and I’m not going to lose a hand for nothing either!”
