Valeria was in a good mood after Hayden agreed to her request. On the way back from dinner, he sent William a message with delight. “I’ve already convinced Dad to agree to take care of Braelynn. Now it’s your turn! The bitch isn’t on the trending list anymore, right?”
William replied, “She didn’t even make it to the trending searches.”
Valeria didn’t believe it. “That’s impossible. How can Azalea not seize such a good opportunity?”
“As a matter of fact, Azalea isn’t on the most searched hashtags at all. I received some reliable news that someone is paying to suppress news about Azalea. Her company just spent a lot of money to minimize her hashtags too.”
“She’s finally getting hit by karma. Since there are people like me who don’t like Azalea, it serves her right!” William’s words meant that Azalea wouldn’t have the chance to recover from this. Valeria was happy, but she was still worried. “Don’t forget that there’s a cocktail party tomorrow night. I think Azalea will make use of the party to publish some big news.”
“Don’t worry. Nobody will attend her party. She can’t find anyone that would listen to her even if she wants to drop the news.”
“What do you mean? Did you manage to persuade so many people to embarrass the Floyd family? How did you do it?”
“That’s simple, it’s because I’m going to hold a party,” William replied.
“Why? Just because you don’t want Azalea to be on the trending board? Isn’t this too wasteful?” Valeria complained.
“Nope, it’s not. I have my own reasons. I’ll tell you later in the evening.”
Valeria was at ease after she heard William’s words. After returning home, she sat in the living room and ate sunflower seeds while she waited for William to return home. Just then, Braelynn’s call came. “Valeria, what’s going on with that party?”
“What party? Azalea’s?” Valeria asked in confusion.
“No, I just saw the news that the Howard family was holding a party. Your Grandpa wants to hold a banquet at the Wolf Group to welcome me as his goddaughter. What’s going on? When Mr. Howard told me this morning, I thought it was just going to be a simple meal. Isn’t it too extravagant to hold such a grand party?”
“I don’t know about this matter. Did William do it? No wonder he told me that he was going to hold a cocktail party tomorrow. It’s for you. That’s great. There’s going to be food, drinks, and games tomorrow night!”
“It’s not about that. It’s too extravagant to hold it in Wolf Group. They said that a lot of invitation cards had been sent out to all the big shots. I just received several phone calls and I was asked about this matter. I don’t know how to answer them.” Braelynn was very worried.
“You don’t have to worry about it. Leave it to William. Anyway, we’re holding a cocktail party in his territory, so it’s not going to cost much.” Valeria knew what Braelynn was worried that the cost would be too great. “By the way, you haven’t prepared your dress, right? I’ll prepare it for you right now.”
“Valeria, it’s too much trouble for you, isn’t it? I’m scared. I feel that there’s a reason why Mr. Howard is doing this. Why don’t you tell me what the hell he wants to do?”
“Why are you still calling him by his name? He’s your brother and I’m your sister-in-law!” Valeria made fun of Braelynn, but she knew what Braelynn was worried about. “Don’t worry. My husband has no bad intentions and he won’t hurt you. Relax!”
“I just feel that it’s too unbelievable!” Braelynn also felt a little worried after hearing Valeria’s words. When she saw the news that she was trending on the Internet, she felt that there must be a reason why William wanted to hold a ceremony to welcome her into the family.
She was not as worried after she called Valeria. She was just an orphan after all. If it were not for the relationship between Lamont and Valeria, William would not pay attention to her at all.
She had not worthy of William’s effort, so why should she be scared?
After Azalea gave instructions to her agent, she waited for her name to be on the trending board. However, nothing happened even after a few hours.
She couldn’t help but call her agent and ask, “How’s the trending list going? Why hasn’t there been any news yet? Are you going to release it tomorrow?”
The agent sighed faintly. “Azalea, this is a little troublesome and it’s different from what you think. To be honest, I’ve been struggling for hours and the company has spent a lot of money, but it’s of no use at all.”
“How is it possible? Isn’t it a simple thing?” Azalea asked.
“Yes, it was originally a very simple matter. I thought it would be easy to resolve, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to carry it out.”
“Can you please get to the point?” Azalea was furious.
“Well, I’ll tell you the truth. It’s a good thing that you were signed by the Floyd family. I know that, and the company also knows that as well. We spent money everywhere and hoped that you would be trending on the internet. However, that didn’t happen at all.”
Azalea didn’t believe it and she felt that her agent was neglecting her. “Why not? How can that be when the Floyd family is backing me up?”
“That’s right, we’re also at a loss about this matter. When the news came out, there was indeed a media report and I saw it at the end of the trending list. I thought that it would be at the top soon, but it was suppressed by other news after that. Now, the hottest news is that Hayden is adopting a goddaughter.”
“What?” Azalea was dumbfounded for a moment before she was filled with anger. “Who did Hayden acknowledge as his goddaughter? What kind of bullshit is this?”
“See for yourself. Azalea, have you offended anyone? I feel that it’s strange for you not to be on the trending list after being signed by the Floyd family. I’m sure that someone is spending money to alter the list, and someone who can spend so much money must be important. Think carefully about who you have offended and who is targeting you.”
The first people she thought of were Valeria and William. “It must be William and Valeria! Damn it! I didn’t offend anyone except them!”
If it was done by William and Valeria, it would be useless for her to try to receive attention on the internet.
Azalea became upset and her agent told her again, “There’s one more thing I want to tell you. Aren’t you going to hold a cocktail party tomorrow night? I feel that things might be a little bad because Hayden will also hold a cocktail party for his daughter Braelynn tomorrow night. I heard that all the influential people in B City will attend. If all of them go to the Howard family’s cocktail party, then no one would attend yours.”
Her agent’s words made Azalea sit down helplessly and murmur, “How can they treat me like this?! I hate them and I will never let them go! One day, I will get everything back from them!”
