Madelyn had gotten ahold of Emily with confidence as she had assumed that things would go her way. She did not expect a twist of event.
She was not feeling great due to her unsuccessful plan and left Emily’s house in an upset mood. She then gave Meadow a call upon reaching the apartment’s lobby. “Meadow, I went to meet with my sister not long ago and told her everything as per your instruction. However, things eventually did not work out.”
“Why would that happen? Could it be that your sister is not willing to lend you a helping hand?” Meadow swiftly questioned.
“Nope. My sister gave Mr. Smith a call during my presence and he was not being polite to her at all. He refused my sister’s request without thinking twice and said that Mrs. Floyd was the one in charge of hiring servants. I have heard their conversation clearly and it was evident that he did not take my sister seriously at all.”
“Really?” Meadow hesitated for a moment and queried, “What are you going to do now?”
“Well… I am desperate to get a job as I am facing financial difficulties for now. The salary of being hired as a servant in the Floyd family is much higher than of market rate. I genuinely want to work with them. Meadow, how about this? Why don’t you help me out instead?”
Meadow sneered upon hearing about it and replied, “I have a plan in mind. Why don’t you take the chance and meet with Callum?”
“What? Absolutely not! I am not bold enough to get ahold of him!” Madelyn immediately refused.
She was initially feeling jealous upon being aware of the romantic relationship between Emily and Callum last time. She was confident that she was good-looking and had a much better dressing style than Emily. She then planned to seduce Callum in secret but ultimately failed as expected.
She felt ashamed after being humiliated by Callum at that time. It would be a miracle for Callum to accept her proposal of being hired as the Floyd Family’s servant should she muster up the courage to meet with him.
Meadow continued to further explain her idea as she was not aware of the shameful things that Madelyn had done, “Madelyn, why are you being a scaredy-cat? You can meet with him on the grounds of taking care of Angel, your niece. I don’t think that he would shut you off.”
Meadow had a solid point but it was not an absolute successful plan. She could not think of any good idea at the moment and replied, “Well, let me sleep on it!”
“What? This great opportunity would slip away should you continue to be hesitant about it. I am sure that many potential servants are keen to work under the Floyd family. It is wise for you to make up your mind as soon as possible.”
Meadow sneered after ending the phone call with Madelyn. She was being very patient in helping Madelyn not out of kindness but some ulterior motives in her mind.
Emily was still not planning to reveal Azalea’s identity to the public. Hence, Meadow decided to take things from there.
Madelyn desperately wanted to reunite with her daughter. Meadow knew about it and decided to lure Madelyn into getting close with Angel.
She was aware of Madelyn’s personality, who had dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family. Madelyn would never let such an opportunity slip away since her daughter was currently residing in an influential and rich household. She was very keen on being hired as the Floyd family’s servant to get friendly with Angel. She then can come up with perfect timing and tell Angel about the truth.
An interesting show would soon commence as long as Madelyn losses her patience and eventually announce her relationship with Angel.
William had long known that the Floyd family had bought a villa in the country and was in the midst of renovation. He initially thought that they would head back home after traveling here for a few months. However, it seemed that they were planning to reside here for the long term upon purchasing the property.
The Floyd family’s business affair used to be very active in Misurton. They unexpectedly purchased a villa in B CIty instead. Hence, it was expected that the Floyd family had decided to expand their business model here.
William was initially worried that his grandparents would disrupt the relationship that he had with Valeria. However, it was proven that both Fandrey and Deborah did not have ulterior motives in mind. William then decided to not interfere in their matters as well.
William had departed from the company at seven in the evening. He did not want to return to a lifeless home as both Valeria and Hayden were spending some time together elsewhere. He then invited Richard to Climax Space in having a pint after finishing his dinner.
Richard arrived at the private room ahead of him. He was already done with a glass of wine when William had arrived. He cracked a forceful smile upon seeing the presence of William and said, “You’re finally here. I thought that you were going to stand me up.”
“Do I look like that kind of a person?” William queried and took a seat.
Richard then poured a glass of wine for him and replied, “Are you trying to deny the fact? How many times have you been here since you got married? I can count on one hand.”
“Why would I spend my time here when I already have a wife?” William picked up the glass and sipped the wine slowly.
Richard scoffed and said, “Stop acting so loyal and humble. You are just afraid of your wife, aren’t you? William, you were a regular customer during your bachelor days. I used to be f*cking sick upon seeing you here every day but things had changed. I can only be able to get ahold of you once in a blue moon. You kept using spending time with your wife as an excuse to reject my idea of treating you to some drinks. It is as clear as day that you are afraid of getting onto your wife’s nerve.”
“Are you jealous of me?” William tilted his head and glanced at him.”Why don’t you find a partner if you have the charisma to do so? No one is currently interested in you even if you are keen on getting into a serious relationship, right?”
These words hit the sore spot of Richard and he remained silent within a blink of an eye.
He picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it up. He took his time after getting a deep puff of it and said, “When are you planning to spill the beans to your uncle about Braelynn?”
“I am in no rush to do so! The time has yet to come.”
“This is such a simple task to accomplish. Everything will go accordingly as long as you tell your grandparents that the bloodline of the Floyd family runs in Braelynn. Why are you still keeping a secret and letting that illegitimate daughter continue living in the Floyd family’s household? What on earth are you trying to do?”
William came clean to him and said, “I’m currently investigating a mysterious man! I suspect that he’s the culprit behind all the bizarre events. I may risk losing my chance of digging some dirt on him if this relationship gets exposed.”
“What? Haha, are you trying to play a drama series? Have you found any hints for now?” Richard asked.
“Yes, but it is not a crucial part of it. Besides, I have yet to come up with a conclusion as I am just speculating things for now,” William replied and took another sip of wine.
“Aren’t you very intelligent and always have an exceptional gut feeling? It is highly likely that things would be well within your expectation by that tone of yours, right?”
“Nope. I am genuinely just guessing things around!”
Richard scoffed and took another deep puff of the cigarette. “William, don’t you think that it’s ridiculous to keep things from me? Is this an indication that you are keeping your guard up towards me?”
“Of course not. No one in the world can be trusted should I not have faith in you. My speculation is rather ridiculous for now. I will fill you in should I obtain some pieces of concrete evidence in the near future.”
“Alright, let’s put a stop on this topic. I am no longer interested in it since you are reluctant to spill the beans. I would like to tell you about something else instead. I saw your uncle on my way here and he was seen to be in a tea room alongside a woman. Do you happen to know who that woman is?”
“Nope. Who is it?”
“He is having an appointment with Azalea’s mother, Madelyn!” Richard let out a chuckle upon thinking about the scene that he had witnessed just now.
“Why would your uncle meet with her? Are they planning to talk about Emily? Is your uncle planning to use Madelyn as a bridge since he is still madly in love with Emily? This would be rather shocking if that is really the case!”
“Do you possibly think that my uncle is such a foolish person?” William asked.
“Of course not!” Richard laughed and continued speaking, “I’m just extremely curious about it. William the fortune teller, now tell me. What does your gut feeling tell you about their meetup session?”
