Chapter 1052 An Argument

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

When Fandrey saw William was about to fly into a rage, he used a softer tone and said, “William, I know that you’re not on good terms with your uncle. You had a conflict with your uncle last time, but we’re still a family. Both of you have the same bloodline, so I don’t wish to see both of you falling out with each other.”
“So? Do you frame my wife without any evidence because of this? Grandpa, do you think you are right?”
“That’s not the case because Azalea has provided some evidence.”
“Where is it? Bring it to me! Is it just a one-sided story?” William’s face was full of sarcasm.
“The evidence was provided by Azalea, but she is not on good terms with Abbie…”
“Grandpa, there are too many people to deal with. Do you think it’s right to frame others just because she got herself in trouble? What’s the point of a lawful system? Do you think everything can be settled verbally?”
William’s words were harsh and Fandrey could no longer keep a straight face. “William, do you really not care about this matter?”
“Of course! Why would I spare any effort to deal with an actress? She’s just an insignificant person and I can get rid of her with ease. Do I look like someone who would deal with such a shameful thing?” William looked at Fandrey scornfully.
“Don’t you feel ashamed that someone like Azalea is the brand spokesperson of the Floyd family? She isn’t that beautiful, nor does she have any acting skills. If you ask such a person to be your brand spokesperson, how will other people think of the Floyd family? People will think that you don’t have enough resources to hire a real ambassador!”
“You!” Fandrey glared at William, but the latter did not back down.
Angel, who was sitting next to them, felt her heart pounding. Her grandpa and cousin were quarrelling with each other. They would end up cutting ties with each other!
She immediately got up and poured a cup of tea for Fandrey and William. “Grandpa, William, drink some tea to calm down!”
“Get out of my way!” William pushed Angel’s cup away with a stern look on his face. “Grandpa, I have endured the Floyd family for a long time. You accused me of injuring your bodyguards, and you’re slandering my wife now. Do you think I’m weak?”
Angel’s face turned pale. William did not look at her, but he glared at Fandrey fiercely. “It’s alright if you slander me. After all, this is not the first time that something like this has happened. I am used to it, but why do you have to target my pregnant wife. What the hell is going on?”
Fandrey attempted to explain, “William, I’m just here to ask you!”
“You don’t even have the right to do that!” William sneered. “Who is Azalea? My wife didn’t even do anything to her. So what if my wife really did it? Azalea is just an actress and she’s completely insignificant. Why do you ask me about such a shameful person?”
William was aggressive and Fandrey’s expression was extremely grim. “William, I’m just asking about the situation. It’s good if Valeria didn’t do it, but why do you have to say something like that? Although she’s just an actress, she is also a human being. Aren’t you bullying the weak?”
“What? Grandpa, what do you mean? Do you want to stand up for Azalea?”
William’s eyes grew colder. “I know all of you were selfish and I didn’t expect you to consider my feelings, but I didn’t expect you to do something like this. Grandfather! I’m sorry, but since you have evidence, just go to the police station and let the judge decide. I won’t stay here any longer. Go to the police station if you need anything!”
After William said that, he didn’t give Fandrey any chance to speak and left. Fandrey was so angry that he almost passed out. “William, this b*stard! He’s too… too arrogant!”
Angel was stunned as she sat by the side and watched as William left rudely. “Grandpa! This…”
Fandrey stood up angrily. “I don’t want to eat anymore. Let’s go back!”
This meeting ended on a bad note and Fandrey went back to the hotel furiously. Callum just woke up and saw Fandrey come back with Angel angrily. He was surprised and said, “Dad, what happened to you… Who made you angry?”
“It’s all because of that b*stard, William!” Fandrey sat down and told about his meeting with William. “He’s getting bolder now and he doesn’t care about us at all.”
Deborah looked worried. “How can you suspect Valeria? We can’t blame William for being angry. Valeria is well-behaved and kind, so how can she do such a thing?”
“I’m just asking, but he immediately became upset and humiliated me. He’s not taking me seriously, is he?”
“William has always been arrogant. It’s no wonder he got angry after you suspected Valeria. In his heart, Valeria’s status is more important than anyone else,” Deborah sighed.
“I’m just asking because I want to know more about the situation. Why did he have to get angry at me? After all, I’m his grandfather. How can he treat an elder like this?” Fandrey was huffing with anger.
“I wanted to talk to him properly, but he didn’t even show me any respect. Azalea has already terminated the contract, right?” Fandrey looked at Callum and asked.
“Yes, it’s been terminated.”
“If I knew that William would be like this, I shouldn’t have forced you to terminate the contract.” Fandrey seemed angry. “But it doesn’t matter. Since he doesn’t like Azalea so much, I’ll give her my support. You should ask someone to contact her and arrange a few auditions for her. You also need to pay attention to the variety shows. I don’t believe that Azalea won’t get famous like this!”
Fandrey wanted to compete with William. Deborah was both angry and amused. “Do you want to support Azalea just to go against William? Do you need to do that?”
“Why not? I have lived for decades and I’ve never been treated this way. Do as I say!”
Deborah didn’t try to persuade Fandrey anymore when she saw that he was so angry, and Callum had never seen Fandrey lose his composure like this. It seemed that Fandrey was furious because of William today.
He felt sorry for Emily because of the termination of Azalea’s contract at first. Rammos even arranged for Azalea to attend a few variety shows and Callum had planned to keep it from Fandrey. Now that Fandrey had taken the initiative to support Azalea, Callum immediately agreed because it was his intention as well.
Angel was extremely unhappy in her heart. She framed Azalea to terminate the contract. However, Fandrey said that he would support Azalea again, so what Abbie had done before this was all in vain.
Angel was extremely upset, but she didn’t have any say in the matter at all and she could only go back to her room reluctantly.
