William was feeling concerned about Valeria in persuading Hayden. However, Valeria did not feel that it was a challenging task for her. She stood up after finishing her salad and said, “Abbie, let’s go and accompany me to get ahold of my father-in-law!”
Abbie was taken aback and asked, “Valeria, are you really planning to persuade Hayden in accepting Braelynn as his goddaughter? What is the rationale behind your action?”
“I don’t have any other motives in mind apart from feeling delighted upon the thought of it! I adore Braelynn very much and initially wanted my dad to accept her as his goddaughter. However, she naively disregarded such a proposal as she feels grateful for having Lamont who had adopted her. She thinks that it is pointless to deem Archer as her second father. Hence, all hopes are on Hayden in accepting her as his goddaughter.”
“Braelynn is unlikely in agreeing to such a request as Hayden is a very stern person, right?”
Valeria was displeased upon hearing about it and snapped back, “What are you talking about? Don’t you think that Hayden is a very friendly person? Based on my opinion, Hayden treats me as good as his own daughter!”
Abbie burst into laughter upon seeing how Valeria had backed Hayden up. “Well noted on that! You are a gemstone of the Howard family and no one would have the guts to get onto your nerves! Let’s go then! I shall tag along with you in meeting with him!”
Fandrey sat under the sun umbrella and was seen to be enjoying his tea at the rooftop garden of Wolf Group Hotel. Sammuel stood next to him and said, “Sir Callum will be attending Azalea’s large-scale signing ceremony tomorrow morning. The celebration party that would be held tomorrow night will also be a glamorous one. I have received news that it would be comparable to the company’s annual event. The guests that would be attending are all from influential backgrounds.”
Fandrey nodded his head and had a blank expression on his face. “Where is Angel?”
“Miss is currently studying in her room.”
“What? Are you sure that she is not making a call to obtain suggestions from someone else?” Fandrey sneered.
“Hmm? Who would she make such contact with?” Sammuel did not understand what was Fandrey hinting about.
“Let’s put this topic to a halt for now and get me a set of afternoon tea. She would be wanting to see me real soon.”
Angel was in the hotel room and was making a phone call. She lowered her voice and said angrily, “Mummy, I bet you are unaware that daddy has hired Azalea to become the company’s global spokesperson! This matter must be official since both grandpa and grandma did not object to it!”
“Are you sure about that? Didn’t you tell them about the matter involving both Azalea and Emily?”
“Yes, I did tell grandpa about it. He was pissed off but there was nothing that he could do in objecting Callum’s decision. Grandpa claimed to be of old age and did not want his only son to grow distant from him. He told me to not make any fuss about it as Azalea is just an actress.”
Veronica was so mad and secretly cursed Fandrey for being a coward. Angel continued to complain in an upset tone, “My dad has decided to hold a grand signing ceremony tomorrow to hype Azalea up. There will also be a glamorous celebration party tomorrow night. I have received news that the party would be as large-scale as the company’s annual event. The guests that were being invited all came from influential backgrounds. Callum has really set his mind up to have Azalea’s back!”
Veronica was fuming in anger as one received special treatment because of someone else. This must have been Emily’s idea. Why was she trying so hard to make a fool out of herself? She sneered and said, “Is both Deborah and Fandrey aware of the upcoming party?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Do report it to your grandpa and observe his reaction carefully. I am not convinced that he would turn a blind eye to Callum spending a fortune over some petty actress like Azalea. You need to get ahold of Fandrey immediately in notifying him about this matter. Do contact me after having this conversation with him!”
Angel agreed and swiftly headed towards the rooftop garden. Sammuel had just instructed someone to send over the afternoon tea set for Fandrey. He was surprised upon seeing Angel appearing here all of a sudden.
Fandrey was undoubtedly very accurate!
Fandrey waved towards Angel with a gentle look on his face and said, “You must be hungry, right? Come on over and have something to fill you up!”
Angel obediently walked towards him and took a seat. She chose a piece of cake and took a bite of it. “Grandpa, when would I be ready to work at the company?”
“Well, tomorrow!” Fandrey replied with a smile.
“Have you told my father about it?”
“Why should I notify him on such a matter? You’re the only heir of the Floyd family and you are free to go whenever you please!”
Angel let her guard down upon seeing how lenient Fandrey was towards her. “Grandpa, do you know that my dad will be attending Azalea’s signing ceremony tomorrow?”
“Yes, I just received news about it! Azalea is just an actress who wants to be famous. You, on the other hand, are the eldest daughter of the Floyd family. Hence, you should be the bigger person and turn a blind eye towards meaningless matter!”
“Grandpa, I’m not feeling threatened by the presence of Azalea. I just can’t seem to understand my dad’s decision. Why would he make such a huge effort of hyping Azalea up as she is just an actress? I have no objection to the signing event but there is also a celebration party to be held tomorrow night. The event would be utterly glamorous and I do think that my dad is being overly…”
Angel paused her words upon seeing the displeased look on his face. Fandrey then picked up his phone and dialed, “I have heard that you would be organizing a party tomorrow night. Is that true?”
“Yes. Dad, would you want to attend it?”
“What do you think? Why would I waste my time on a deceitful actress like her? It seems that you are increasingly getting out of line. You can always leave things to your team members when it is merely a signing event. What is the point of having a one-man show?”
“Dad, I’m doing this for the sake of the company. Azalea will be making a fortune for the Floyd family after hiring her as our brand spokesperson. I’m hyping her up for receiving greater returns in the long run.”
Fandrey had calmed down for a bit and replied, “I shall cut straight to the point since you are planning things ahead! You are an adult and need to organize business in a wiser manner. You should join forces with her agency in preparation for her to obtain fame. It is essential for her to hit the top most-searched topic in the news since our company had spent such great fortune on her. Don’t you think that it would be a waste of our financial assistance if nothing speculator happens?”
Angel initially thought that Fandrey had called Callum to cancel the party. She was taken aback that Fandrey would suggest hyping Azalea up to the public. Fandrey had made it very clear that the agency company should utilize the power of money to make Azalea famous throughout all news outlets. The Floyd family would then follow suit and join in the fun. It was as clear as day that Fandrey had decided to make Azalea in appearing at tomorrow’s headlines.
It would be a miracle for Angel to remain in a delighted mood. However, there was nothing that she could do in changing Fandrey’s mind. She had two pieces of cake and soon excused herself to head back to her room in continuing her studies.
She returned to her room and immediately contacted Veronica to update her about Fandrey’s viewpoint. Veronica was utterly upset upon hearing about it and said, “Are you saying that Fandrey did not throw this plan out of the window and even suggested the agency company spend money on buying the news outlet? Haha! What a joke!”
“Yes, you heard me right. I think grandpa is out of his mind as he used to despise Azalea very much. I did not expect him in coming to an agreement on this matter! Mummy, we can’t let Azalea have her way. Who is she trying to impress by using such a despicable method? We need to come up with something to avoid her becoming the hot topic in the news. It will then be an indication for both grandpa and dad to know that Azalea is of no use towards the Floyd Group.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange matters accordingly then!” Veronica replied in an upset tone. It looked like Azalea desperately wished to make her name appear in the news just to become famous! This was utterly abominable! Azalea was not the problem maker as this was clearly a war between both Emily and Veronica. How could she let Emily be the winner and make herself into a laughing stock? It was then and there that Veronica decided to utilize her financial ability to avoid such a disaster from happening!
