Chapter 1101 Give a Price

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

Michael looked at Azalea’s assistant with a blank face. “Shouldn’t you ask the doctor at the airport to help her if she fainted? Why are you looking for me? I’m not a doctor.”
“I… I…” The assistant thought Michael would at least have a hint of concern after hearing that Azalea fainted so her plan would be a success.
Michael’s indifference was unexpected and the assistant didn’t know how to continue her act. It took me a long time to come up with a sentence, “I’m afraid that someone will recognize Azalea at the airport and this will taint her image?”
“Why is she worried about this at this time? It seems that her situation isn’t that serious after all. Besides, who can recognize her a B-class actress like her? Does she really think highly of herself? She should look at herself in the mirror!”
Michael looked at Azalea’s assistant coldly and his words were extremely malicious.
The assistant’s face was red after she heard his retort, but she did not dare to argue with Michael. She felt that the plot might fail.
“Michael, please help us. Since I bumped into someone that’s close to Azalea, I’m begging you to help her.”
Michael was not stupid. He had suffered once, so he had to be careful. How could he be kind enough to help Azalea?
“I told you, I’m busy. Get out of the way!”
Michael ignored Azalea’s assistant and strode away while the driver followed him. Azalea’s assistant had no choice but to return to the lounge since Michael ignored her.
Azalea was lying on the chair in the lounge as she pretended to faint. Her eyes were still closed when the assistant returned and sat next to her. “Your plan is going to fail. Michael doesn’t care about you and he just left with his driver.”
“What?” Azalea suddenly got up. “How can he ignore me? Did you give yourself away?”
“No, he didn’t give me a chance at all. I said that if you fainted, but he made fun of me directly and asked me to find a doctor. He didn’t even bother talking to me.”
“Isn’t he being too heartless? How can he be like this? He’s really pissing me off!”
Azalea was furious and hateful as she continued to complain about Michael’s heartlessness. Her assistant had to remind her, “This is different from our plan. Why don’t you call Ms. Floyd and let her know? See if she has a solution to solve this.”
Azalea had to call Angel. When Angel heard that Michael didn’t take the bait and just left directly, she sneered, “Miss Clark, your acting is really bad. I made such a good plan, but you still failed. I don’t know what to say about you. It’s no wonder that you couldn’t gain fame after all these years!”
Azalea couldn’t say anything to Angel and she could only swallow her anger. When Angel saw that Azalea didn’t dare to utter a word after being insulted, she wasn’t in the mood to scold Azalea as well.
“Have you ever thought about how to save this situation?”
“No, I can’t think of a way.” Azalea answered honestly.
“Ha ha!” Angel sneered. “Okay, it seems that we can’t count on you for this matter. Let me give you an idea. You can call Meadow immediately and tell her that you did not succeed in picking Michael up. Ask Meadow to lend you Michael’s car and driver. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Why do I need to do that?” Azalea asked.
“Get the car and driver first for tonight. It’s best to let them send you to a hotel. I’ll arrange for someone to follow you to take photos. Also, remember to update your anonymous account. Remember to write a romantic caption about spending the night with your lover.”
Azalea was not the kind of person who was completely foolish. When she heard this, she immediately understood what Angel wanted to do. She regained her spirits again. “I’ll do it right away.”
Meanwhile, in the hospital. Pierre waited until night for updates on Paisley’s secret lover, but to no avail. He scolded the bodyguard. “What are you doing? Why can’t you find out anything about his identity?”
“Sir, that man doesn’t come out of his house at all. We didn’t even get to see him.” The bodyguard complained.
“Is this person a f*cking homebody? What is he doing hiding in his room all day?” Pierre swore.
How could Pierre deal with Paisley if he couldn’t find out the identity of the other party? Pierre suddenly thought of the stranger who sent him a message. It seemed that he could only ask that stranger.
Pierre tried to send a message, “Do you know who Paisley is hooking up with?”
Silas saw the message sent by Pierre and chuckled. “Of course.”
“Who is it?” Pierre immediately asked.
“Why should I tell you?”
Pierre swore after he saw Silas’ message, “What do you want? Do you want money? Name a price. I’ll give it to you as long as you don’t go overboard.”
Silas immediately told William, “Sir, Pierre asked me to for a price. How much do you think is suitable?”
William touched his chin. “Two million!”
Silas replied, “Give me two million, and I’ll tell you who that man is!”
The price was quite steep and Pierre did not want to pay so much. “Aren’t you asking for too much? I can’t give you that much, but I can arrange for my men to continue keeping watch. We will find out the identity of the man.”
“Mr. Anthony, it’s a pity that you can’t get your hands on the man. I’m afraid that things will have gone in another direction after a few days. You should be very clear that Paisley will have a significant amount of influence since she’s willing to lower her status to hook up with that man. Paisley will seize the opportunity at that time, and I’m afraid that you and your mother…”
Pieere stared at the message over and over again. This person was not playing around. He could not let Paisley find a chance to regain her status.
However, Pierre was also worried that the other party was blackmailing him. If the information was not what he wanted, wouldn’t he be at a disadvantage?
Pierre thought for a moment and replied. “Well, I’ll give you five million first. Tell me your identity and I’ll see if it’s worth it. I’ll give you another five million if I feel that it’s worth it, or else I’ll just consider it bad luck.”
Silas showed Pierre’s reply to William, who smiled and said, “Okay, we’ll just get the five million. Our purpose is not for money anyway. Let him transfer it to us.”
Pierre transferred five million to the card provided by Silas, who typed the message with a smile. “You are very familiar with the man that Paisley is hooking up with. He’s the president of Laban Group, Ornard Laban!”
