A car had driven into the rented villa and had made a halt at the entrance.
Ornard got out of the vehicle and entered the property alongside his assistant and bodyguard. He did not linger around in the living room and headed straight to the terrace on the third floor.
Ornard stood on the terrace and glanced towards the villa next door. He was living beside the villa of the Anthony family. He had specifically instructed Gurmisran to rent his temporary residence next to Hardy’s just to have a close look at Paisley.
It was currently still morning and the Anthony family’s villa was rather quiet. There was no one speaking and zero interaction at the property.
Ornard felt bored after hanging out on the terrace and wanted to head back in. A sports car with a blaring sound soon drove over and stopped at the entrance of the Anthony family’s villa.
Pierre Anthony, the second son of the Anthony family took his time and entered the villa while holding his car keys in his hand. Noises were soon being heard in the villa a few minutes later.
The commotion sounded as if something had been knocked over. Pierre was heard to be scolding someone, “Paisley, don’t fu*king get onto my nerves. I will give you h*ll should you challenge my patience!”
Paisley snapped back in a shrill tone, “Pierre, you ought to not do whatever you please. You stand no chance of being cocky as long as both me and Hardy are still in the game!”
The servant was in a difficult position and could only try to ease the tension, “Paisley and Pierre. Please stop arguing and calm down!”
The chaos had continued for a while before coming to an end. Pierre took his keys and cursed before eventually leaving the villa.
The sports car roared and disappeared from Ornard’s sight. A thoughtful expression soon emerged on his face.
He predicted that Paisley would be met with troubles and would get bullied. However, it was out of his expectation that Pierre was so bold to get onto the bad side of Paisley.
It seemed that Pierre had decided to stop pretending in being friendly with Paisley. He was not worried about seniority and made up his mind in declaring war with her. Paisley must be in a difficult situation now as Hardy could no longer back her up. It was no wonder why she would humble down and agreed to be the wife of Ornard, who was an old and unattractive man.
A sneer had crept on Ornard’s face upon thinking about it. Desperate people were the easiest to be taken advantage of. It seemed that this trip to B City was not a waste after all.
William arrived at his company in the morning and met with a few crucial European clients. They headed towards the hotel’s restaurant to have a meal together after commencing a meeting that lasted for a few hours. He received a text message in the midst of the lunch session. “Ornard is here! He is currently residing in the villa that has been rented by Gurmisran’s men. The property happens to be side by side with the Anthony family.”
He glanced at the message but did not revert back. He continued to strike conversations with his clients politely while enjoying the meal together.
He then instructed his management team to interact with the clients after lunch. Both William and Marcus were transported back to the company by Bobby. There were no outsiders between them. William switched on his phone and showed the message to Marcus. “What do you think?”
Marcus thought for a moment and replied, “Ornard must be hiding something for coming back in such a low-profile manner. He even decided to rent a property next to Paisley’s villa. Could his arrival in the country have something to do with her? I recall that Ornard had once come into play when you decided to get rid of Hardy once and for all. I am confident that Ornard and Hardy had joined forces back then. Mr. Howard, I shall arrange our men to keep a close look on them.”
William nodded and said, “Okay, do pay attention to them but remember not to disturb the water! I may currently not have the time to pay attention to Ornard as I would be occupied with my wedding event. I am worried about Valeria despite she is surrounded by a group of her close ones. I plan to head to Arcadia by tonight. You can come later as long as you finish arranging matters accordingly. Bobby, Jaxon, and Silas will follow you as well. I would not wish any one of you to be absent in my wedding.”
Marcus agreed and William continued to probe them with a smile on his face, “I shall ask the both of you one more time. Are you guys interested in becoming my best man? It would be a waste of opportunity if you intend to decline such a fantastic offer!”
“Nope!” Marcus and Bobby replied in the same timing.
“Guys, there is always room for discussion should the both of you have a change of mind in becoming my best man. I can invite several gorgeous celebrities in becoming bridesmaids and would be partnered up with the both of you. They are really famous in the industry. Aren’t you guys interested in it?”
“Not at all!” Bobby shook his head and replied, “Sir William, we are contented as long as you have a happy marriage life! We shall leave the spotlight to both Mr. Richard and Michael instead.”
“Okay then. Have you guys prepared the gift? What are you guys going to give me as my wedding present?” William raised his eyebrows and asked.
“I have prepared it way in advance but I intend to keep it a secret. You can’t know about it for now!” Bobby and Marcus refused to tell him.
“What? You guys are indeed one of a kind,” William chuckled. He knew that it was useless to dwell further into this matter as Bobby and Marcus still refused to spill the beans. He decided to change the topic, “Have you got ahold of the reason for Madelyn to meet up with my uncle yesterday?”
“I was just about to mention this. Madelyn is hired as a servant to work for the Floyd family.” Marcus continued speaking, “It is impossible for Madelyn to be willing in becoming a domestic worker judging by her personality. Mr. Howard, what do you think that she is trying to do?”
“Hmm? Isn’t it obvious? She intends to get closer to her daughter in hopes to enhance the quality of their relationship. Her next step would then be to live the luxurious life that she desperately wants,” William smiled disdainfully.
“She had mistakenly deemed Angel as her daughter?” Marcus was taken aback and questioned further, “Is she out of her mind?”
“Not at all. She might even be so proud of herself for being able to fool everyone else.” Bobby chimed in, “Madelyn, that despicable woman, will have a taste of h*ll real soon. She will not be able to back down when the time comes.”
“She won’t quit in the midst of the game and would be contented even if she is suffering. In conclusion, that kind of person is not worthy of our efforts. We should instead be more focused on Ornard. I need to give my grandfather a heads up regarding the discreet arrival of Ornard in the country. Fandrey will then not let his guard down.”
Paisley had a heated argument with Pierre just now. It was the most intense quarrel ever since he last came back.
Pierre would not pick a fight with her despite not seeing each other eye to eye during the old days. It was different this time as he rushed over in attempting to get rough on her without mercy.
Paisley would definitely be beaten up if it wasn’t for Danya, the servant who tried to ease the tension. Pierre, the person who Paisley used to bully was now being very discourteous towards her. She was pissed off ever since the argument occurred. She needed to take revenge in teaching her brother a lesson.
Paisley picked up her phone and sent a message to Ornard. “Have you arrived yet?”
“Yes!”
Ornard had unexpectedly reverted her message. Paisley felt disgusted upon thinking of his old and unattractive features. However, she was desperate to take her brother down and immediately asked, “Where are you currently at?”
“Ms. Anthony, why are you so eager to see me? Don’t you know what would happen during our upcoming meeting?” Ornard questioned.
Paisley knew what was he trying to say but she was currently not in the position to be fussy. “I need to ask you for a favor. Where can I get ahold of you?”
Ornard chuckled and said, “You need to dress up as I would like to see your gorgeous state as starters. You have to be well prepared for our meet-up session. I hope that you can satisfy me as a token of appreciation for me to fulfill your request.”
Ornard was such a despicable and shameful old fart. Paisley cussed but had instead replied, “Don’t worry, I am definitely able to please you.”
