After the phone was connected, Emily did not care that she had once said to Callum that she would no longer have any contact with him. She said directly to Callum about Azalea, “Can you do me a favour? Azalea has encountered big trouble. Please help her.”
Callum had just hung up Rammos’s phone and had learned the whole thing. He immediately comforted Emily, “Rammos has told me about this matter. Don’t worry, everything will be okay. I have let someone deal with this matter.”
Listening to Callum’s promise, Emily was relieved. If she had known that Callum had already dealt with it, she would not have called him. She felt very embarrassed to go back on her words, but she still had to thank Callum. “Thank you for helping me!”
“You don’t have to thank me. Emily, your things will always be my priority. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it even if I had to go through all the hard work!”
Hearing this, Emily couldn’t say a word. Callum had always loved her, but she couldn’t respond to anything. She was no longer the girl who was desperate for love.
And Callum was no longer the man who could make her love him without regret. He was a man who had a family. She and Callum could not have anything to do with each other now. She did not speak again and hung up the phone after saying goodbye to him.
Callum held the phone with a bitter smile. It was a missed. No matter how much he loved Emily in his heart, no matter how much he wanted to make up for it, he and Emily would never return to the past.
A sense of melancholy spread in his heart. Callum sat down and lit a cigarette restlessly. As he took a puff, the call from Fandrey came.
Knowing that Fandrey’s call was for Azalea, Callum threw the cigarette and picked up. “Dad!”
“What’s going on tonight?” Fandrey asked sternly.
“I’m not sure about the exact details. I only know that Azalea must have been trapped. I had ordered somebody to investigate it.”
“This is not the point I want to ask. I heard that you used public relations to suppress the news? Please explain it to me.”
“Dad, Azalea is the brand ambassador of our Floyd family. It’s reasonable for us to cover the news for her when something like this happens, isn’t it?”
“Who said that she must be the brand ambassador of our Floyd family? There should be terms and conditions in the contract between you and her? If the artist’s personal relationship had affected the company’s image, the consequence is unconditionally severance of the contract. You should immediately cancel the contract with Azalea!”
“Dad, this is not suitable!”
“What’s wrong with it? Azalea’s reputation is extremely bad, she has no abilities, and her popularity is low. She made such a scandal on the first day of signing the contract. The Floyd family is so stupid to have such a person as a brand ambassador. Hurry up and terminate the contract!”
“Dad, she is also a victim. It is very pitiful that a girl like her has been trapped like this. Your decision is just adding insult to her injury. Our Floyd family will never do this, isn’t it?”
“She’s the victim? I’m adding insult to her injury? Haha, I did promise that before, but that’s not about Azalea. As the saying goes, nothing happens for no reason. If she behaved herself and did not do anything bad and cause trouble or think about plotting against others, how could this have happened?”
“Do something bad? Scheming against people? Where did this come from?”
“You don’t even know what this is, do you? Then I’ll tell you nicely.” Fandrey sneered. “What had happened tonight was self-directed by Azalea. She and Meadow wanted to trap Michael, the third son of the Davis family. However, she made a mistake when she trapped Michael, which led to her becoming the victim.”
“Um… Dad, can you be more specific? What the hell is going on?”
“Isn’t it specific enough? Azalea wanted to turn into a phoenix and marry into a rich and powerful family, so she and Meadow planned to plot against Michael at the party. As a result, she failed to trap Michael and turned her into such a state. How could such a thing even be regarded as a human being? Isn’t it too disgusting?”
“Is there any misunderstanding?” Callum could see that Azalea liked Michael, and could also see Michael’s hatred for Azalea, but he still didn’t believe that Azalea would be so shameless.
“Don’t you know that? Her aunt, Emily, is a scheming woman. Azalea has learned a lot from her. If you doubt my words, I have evidence.”
Hearing Fandrey’s words that talk about Emily’s bad, Callum felt extremely uncomfortable. He controlled himself and asked, “What evidence do you have, Dad?”
Fandrey was not an empty talker. When Angel called to report the situation to him, she told Fandrey something else, saying that she accidentally heard the conversation between Azalea and Meadow who wanted to plot Michael.
Meadow’s juice for drugging Michael had been replaced by her bodyguard. The juice was in the hotel, and she asked Fandrey what to do.
Hearing this, Fandrey was furious. He used to dissatisfy with Azalea. How could he bear it when he got to know that Azalea was such a despicable person?
He would never allow Azalea to be the brand ambassador of the Floyd family. What would people think of the Floyd family if she became the brand ambassador of the Floyd family for such immoral and despicable attitudes?
Fandrey sneered and said, “Tonight, Meadow and Azalea had planned to trap Michael. They even booked the room. Azalea would pretend to be drunk and put herself in the room to wait for Michael, while Meadow put drugs in Michael’s juice. Michael didn’t drink juice. The juice had been tested and there were drugs. Such a despicable and shameless person as the brand ambassador of our Floyd family. Do you think this thing should happen?”
Callum’s face was hot. “This… this must be a misunderstanding!”
“You don’t need to defend Azalea anymore! I won’t talk nonsense with you. Our Floyd family are innocent, we must have morality and responsibility when even when we choose our brand ambassador. I don’t want to see such a disgusting person be the brand ambassador of the Floyd family and ruin the reputation of Floyd family. Inform the lawyer to terminate the contract immediately!”
Fandrey didn’t want to talk nonsense with Callum. “If you don’t inform the lawyer, let me do it. Don’t say that I didn’t remind you, I won’t embarrass you if you solve it yourself. If I solve it for you, it won’t be the result that you want!”
Callum heard the threaten in Fandrey’s words. He was silent for a moment and said, “I know. I will inform the lawyer to terminate the contract, but I have a condition. I can’t reveal anything about tonight’s event, for the sake of Azalea’s reputation.”
“Okay!” Fandrey agreed happily. Callum had deep feelings for Emily. Even if Fandrey stopped Callum from using his company’s resources to suppress the most searched hashtags, Callum would still think of ways to use his own strength to do this secretly.
Since Callum insisted on doing this, Fandrey would respect him. Both sides took a step back. For Fandrey, the result he wanted was not to let such a disgusting person like Azalea have any relationship with the Floyd family.
