Angel snorted when she saw the message. She was used to bossing others around, and she never liked to listen to other people’s opinions. Since this man was hired by Ornard and he was someone who worked for money, what reason did he have to mess up her plan?
Angel restrained her anger and asked, “How should we do that?”
“Miss Floyd, you don’t like Azalea, right? Pouring boiling water on her will just injure her, but it won’t cause lasting damage. Since she’s an actress, her reputation is the most important thing to her career. I think her reputation will be ruined if an intimate video of her and Michael is released. What can she do to restore her image by then?”
“Are you going to spread gossip about Azalea and Michael? Have you got the wrong idea? Let me tell you, Azalea wants to marry Michael and even his mother is on her side. If this matter spreads, we’ll be helping Azalea achieve her goal. Do you understand? Why would I want to help her?”
“Alright, I understand. Then, let’s stick to the original plan!”
“Wait a minute, I have a new idea.” A sneer flashed across Angel’s face. At this moment, she suddenly thought of another way to deal with Azalea.
The Howard family’s banquet was in full swing while Braelynn and Hayden were dancing for the first time on the dance floor. Several potential young suitors were already waiting to ask Braelynn for a dance, and Richard was extremely unhappy to see this.
He thought that he was the only one pursuing Braelynn, but he didn’t expect that so many people were pining over her as well.
Braelynn didn’t have any feelings towards him now. If he went forward to invite Braelynn to dance, he would definitely be rejected.
Richard immediately took out his phone and sent a message to William. “William, please do me a favour!”
“No! I don’t have time!” William replied.
Richard sent a string of messages shamelessly, “It’s just a small favour and it’ll be a piece of cake for you. You just have to go to the dance floor and wait. After you invite Braelynn for a dance, you can pass on the chance to me!”
William sent a snickering expression. “Are you still living in your fantasy? Why should I do that?”
“Because we have been friends for so many years! William, we’ll be even closer in the future if you help me do this?” Richard guided him patiently.
“No! Why would I want that? I’m not crazy!” William refused mercilessly.
“Don’t you want me to give you extra care and attention?” Richard didn’t care about his pride anymore.
“No!” William answered concisely.
“Then what do you want? Just tell me! I’m desperate right now and I’m running out of time.” Richard became anxious as the song was close to its end.
“Didn’t you reserve a new car? The limited-edition one?” William sent a smiling face.
“You can drive it any time. Don’t play tricks with me.” It turned out that William had taken a fancy to his car. How sly of him.
“I don’ want to drive it, I want to be the owner of the car. Is that alright with you?”
Wasn’t this a classic scamming tactic? William, that bastard! Richard gritted his teeth and cursed, “Alright, I guess I can only blame it on my bad luck. I’ll give you the car, so stop pretending and come here! Oh right, I want to dance to three songs with Braelynn. Make sure you arrange everything properly!”
William put away his phone with a smile after he read Richard’s message. He earned a car that was worth 10 million dollars in exchange for a dance. It was worth it!
He lowered his voice and said to Valeria, “Dear, I’m going to do something that’ll earn us 10 million dollars. Five minutes will be enough. Wait for me, I’ll be right back.”
“Huh? 10 million in 5 minutes? Are you sure?” Valeria asked.
“Yes! I’ll be right back!”
Valeria watched in confusion as William went to the dance floor and the music stopped. Hayden walked as he was holding Braelynn’s hand, and William stepped forward and reached out his hand to her. “Braelynn, let me dance with you!”
Braelynn obviously would not reject William’s invitation, so she placed her hand in his. When the young men beside her then saw that William had invited Braelynn to dance, they knew that the chance of dancing with Braelynn was gone. She would never choose them as long as William was there, so they left.
Braelynn and William entered the dance floor when the music started. Valeria watched William and Braelynn dance in confusion. How could he possibly earn 10 million dollars just by dancing?
When she thought of this, she saw William and Braelynn dancing to the other side of the dance floor. Just then, Richard strode to the dance floor and dialled William’s number. William apologized when his phone suddenly rang. “Braelynn, I have to answer a call. Sorry!”
He pretended as if he had just seen Richard, “Richard, come and help me! Thank you so much, buddy. Please take good care of my sister!”
Richard took the place as Braelynn’s dance partner while William left with his phone.
Valeria looked at this scene with her eyes widened in shock and she couldn’t help muttering, “Shit, how can they be so shameless? They really did it!”
“Who is shameless?” Abbie’s voice came. When Valeria turned her head and saw Abbie, she was stunned for a moment. “When did you come over?”
“I just arrived.” Abbie was clearly a bit unhappy.
“What’s wrong? Did you quarrel with Michael?”
“No, but his mom asked him to join Azalea’s party.” Abbie didn’t hide anything from Valeria.
“He left just like that?” Valeria’s face was full of disbelief.
“Yes! He didn’t want to go over, but his mother threatened to come over and make trouble. I didn’t want to cause a scene, so…”
“That’s enough!” Valeria interrupted Abbie. “If his mother keeps stirring up trouble like this, you won’t be able to live a good life with him!”
“I don’t know! I’m so frustrated!”
“Abbie, don’t you know what happened to him in the past? Will Azalea, that bitch, let go of this opportunity to make trouble? Meadow is the same as well. They must have planned a scheme against Michael. Will something happen to him if he goes to the party? Why didn’t you stop him?”
“How can I do that? There is no way to stop him. Whatever, I know that Azalea and Meadow would force him to go over. Anyway, I’ll just let them be since things have already turned out like this. Maybe I’ll be able to give up on him when they do something I can’t accept.”
Abbie’s words made Valeria speechless. When she saw William coming over, she immediately waved and said, “Honey!”
William walked over with a smile and he was a little surprised when he saw Abbie, “Where’s Michael?”
Valeria sighed. “His mother asked him to attend Azalea’s party.”
“Has he lost his mind?” William asked in surprise.
“No, Michael’s mother must’ve planned something because she forced him to go to the party. What should we do now?”
William glanced at Abbie and said, “What are you worried about? Nothing will happen to you!”
