Deborah didn’t know that William was making up an excuse. William had given her enough reason, so she could also explain it to Angel. She hung up the phone and looked at Angel, who was sobbing and sitting next to her.
“Did you hear what your cousin said? They said that your sign is conflicting with the day of their marriage and it can’t be changed. Even I can’t do anything about it.”
Angel didn’t believe in these things, but William’s reasoning could not be wrong. She had no reason to cry again. If she continued, Fandrey and Deborah would think that she wasn’t sensible.
She felt helpless, but there was nothing she could do. Angel bitterly shed her tears. When Deborah saw that Angel had stopped crying, she took out a paper towel to wipe the younger girl’s tears. After all, Angel was her granddaughter, so she also felt distressed.
“I really can’t do anything about your invitation to your cousin’s wedding. Don’t be angry. I have some happy news to tell you.”
“What?” Angel asked shyly.
“Your grandfather told me that he wants you to work in the company right away and he will arrange a secretary for you. In order to make it convenient, he arranged for someone to buy a villa for you here. In the future, the companies in B City may be managed by you.”
“Really? Grandma, you’re not lying to me?” Angel had no experience in managing companies, but she was very happy to hear this.
“Of course it’s true. It’s better if you don’t go to the wedding. You should seize this opportunity to study hard and make some achievements. When the time comes, you should let your grandpa and your father think highly of you. You must show them that you’re capable.”
“I know! I will work hard!” Angel was in a good mood. The wedding was nothing to her compared to the company. If her grandfather really let her manage the companies in B City, things would be really different.
She used to be ignorant and useless. As long as she could manage a company, it meant that she would be the legal heir of the Floyd family. The Floyd family’s assets were huge and she would be able to do whatever she wanted if she owned those assets.
Angel thought about it and immediately asked Deborah, “Have you renovated the villa that Grandpa bought? Where is it located?”
“It’s on Westburn Road and it has been renovated. We are now looking for a nanny.”
“Grandma, can I go and have a look? I want to pick my own furniture in my bedroom.”
“Of course! I’ll ask the bodyguards to go with you. You can ask for anything.”
Angel felt refreshed. She washed her face and changed her clothes before she went out to visit the villa happily.
Deborah heaved a sigh of relief and went to look for Fandrey. “It’s alright now. Angel went to visit the villa.”
Fandrey chuckled and shook his head. She was so frustrated just because she was after the company’s property. He disliked Angel even more in his heart.
Meanwhile, Emily was studying in the study in Misurton. The doorbell rang and she saw Madelyn at the door. She forced a smile. “Madelyn!”
Emily slightly frowned and moved aside. “Come in!”
Madelyn closed the door and walked to the living room to sit down. Emily poured her a glass of water. “Why are you here?”
“Yes! I want to ask you a favor.”
“What is it?” Emily asked flatly.
“I lost my job. I want another job…” Madelyn looked at Emily carefully as she spoke. “Can you help me find a job?”
“What?” Emily smiled even though her smile was not sincere. “Do you think I have the ability to find a job for you?”
Madelyn said, “It’s like this. I heard that the Floyd family plans to live in B City and they bought a villa. They’re hiring a nanny now and the salary is very high. Emily, can you… say something to Callum and give me a chance?”
“Who did you hear that from?” asked Emily.
“I… I heard from someone.” Madelyn did not tell Emily who told her. “Emily, I haven’t worked for half a year and I don’t have much money now. If I could work in Floyd family, I don’t need to use Azalea’s money anymore. I could also save some money for Azalea…”
Madelyn was interrupted by Emily. “Are you sure you can do a good job as a nanny? The Floyd family is not an ordinary family. The servants they hire are all capable. What skills do you have?”
“I… I’m good at cooking. The culinary teacher said that my food was delicious.”
Since Madelyn even attended cooking class, it seemed that she had planned to go to the Floyd family. Emily lowered her eyes to hide the irony in her eyes.
Although she and Madelyn were sisters, they weren’t bonded by blood.
She knew too well about Madelyn, who was extremely lazy and a good-for-nothing since she was a child. How could someone like Madelyn lower herself to become a servant?
Obviously, Madelyn had her own plans when she became a servant of the Floyd. Besides, her plan definitely had something to do with the incident in the past.
Madelyn thought she had exchanged the babies perfectly and kept the matter under wraps. However, she overestimated her own intelligence. The reason why Emily allowed Madelyn to replace the children was that she never wanted her child to enter the Floyd family.
There were too many uncertain factors in such an influential family and Veronica hated her so much. How could Veronica be good to Emily’s child? Besides, Emily was unwilling to part with her daughter.
When she found out about Madelyn’s motive, she did not reveal it and allowed Madelyn to exchange the babies.
Madelyn’s intentions of allowing her children to enter a rich and influential family were ridiculous. She must’ve thought that life in such a powerful family would be filled with happiness.
Emily didn’t think so. She didn’t want her child to be targeted, so she pretended to be ignorant and let Madelyn succeed.
Madelyn revealed her real character after she exchanged the children. Since Azalea was not her child, she didn’t have the heart to take care of her.
It just so happened that the Clark family felt guilty and offered to take care of Azalea. Madelyn immediately agreed and sent Azalea to them.
Madelyn had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother towards Azalea at all. Azalea would always come to Emily for help. Since Emily knew the inside story, she tolerated Azalea’s impudence. However, Madelyn thought that Emily was just a fool.
From the day Madelyn replaced the children, Emily knew that she would not let it go like this. Sure enough, Madelyn had been hiding for so many years and she began to carry out her new plan after she saw her daughter. Emily had already guessed Madelyn’s intentions when the latter wanted to become the servant of the Floyd family.
Madelyn was trying to get close to Angel, and she might be thinking of recognizing Angel as her daughter.
Madelyn wanted to claim Angel as her daughter, but she wanted Angel to live a rich life as well. Emily sneered in her heart as she didn’t know what Madelyn was thinking.
She refused Madelyn directly. “I can’t help you!”
