Ornard could imagine Angel’s indignant and furious expression as he read the message. He turned to ask Paisley, “Is the price of the materials going to drop soon?”
“I don’t think so. Why did you suddenly think of this?”
“Angel told me that the Floyd family had stocked up a lot of materials because of the construction project in the city. She said that they lost a lot of money because the value of the materials dropped and Fandrey is scolding Callum now. The Floyd family has always been very good at business. Since Fandrey has scolded Callum for this, I’m sure the price will drop by at least 80 per cent.”
Paisley agreed. “If that’s the case, shouldn’t we stock up the materials? Let’s wait and see. We’ll buy them in batches when the price drops so that we can lower the cost.”
“Yes, that’s what I meant. We placed a higher bid than the Floyd family, so the profit we’ll get from the project is very low. If the price of the materials really reduces, it’ll be a great thing for us. However, we can’t just listen to Angel’s complaints about this matter. I’ll get someone to pay attention tomorrow, and you should arrange someone as well.”
After Angel sent Ornard the message about the materials, she went to the bathroom to have a nice bath.
When Fandrey and Deborah returned, she had just stepped out of the bathroom and hurried downstairs after changing her clothes. “Grandma, Grandpa! You guys are back!”
Fandrey nodded in agreement. Angel went forward and grabbed Deborah’s arm and asked sweetly, “Grandma, did you have a good time tonight?”
“It was alright!” Deborah felt disappointed and her tone was forced.
Deborah would always be very happy every time she saw Valeria and William, but her expression today was somewhat abnormal.
Angel helped Deborah sit down. “Grandma, you don’t seem very happy. What happened?”
Deborah sighed, “Angel… let’s forget about you and Richard!”
“Ah? Why is that?”
“Richard already has a girlfriend, so you should stop thinking about it.”
Angel immediately retorted, “How is that possible? Didn’t Mrs. Clark clearly say that he didn’t have a girlfriend?”
“She should not know about it as well. I asked Valeria tonight and she said that Richard has a girlfriend.”
“I don’t believe it! Valeria must be lying. She doesn’t like me and she doesn’t want me to be happy!” Angel refused to believe it. “Grandma, did Valeria tell you that Richard’s girlfriend is Braelynn?”
“Yes, she did tell the same way!”
Angel sneered and said, “Isn’t it clear that Braelynn and Valeria are on the same side? She lied to you! Anyway, I don’t believe that Richard will be with Braelynn! It must be that Valeria doesn’t want me and Richard to have a relationship. After all, Valeria and Abbie don’t like me.”
“Angel, Valeria is not the kind of person! You are William’s cousin, so he can she have ill intentions against you? Besides, she can’t change Richard’s decision. Braelynn and Richard didn’t get together recently. Valeria told me that Richard began to pursue Braelynn even before we came to the country.”
“I don’t believe it! Never!”
Deborah saw that Angel still refused to accept it and she couldn’t persuade her either. “Okay, I’ve told you everything I know, so you should think about it! I’m warning you that the Floyd family is not an ordinary family. You should always pay attention to your words and actions!”
Deborah got up and went back to the room while Angel was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room with teary eyes. Just then, Madelyn appeared out of nowhere. “Miss!”
Angel’s eyes were full of disgust when she saw Madelyn. “What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to deliver milk to you when I overheard you talking to Madam. Miss, Richard is not a good person. Since he has a girlfriend, you should give it up.”
“Who do you think you are? You dare to point fingers at me?” Angel was already full of anger and she vented it on Madelyn, who tried to persuade her.
Angel was so angry that she forgot that Madelyn was Emily’s sister. She took the milk from Madelyn’s hand and splashed it on the latter’s face. “Get out! Stay away from me in the future! I don’t like drinking milk! Idiot!”
The milk was splashed all over Madelyn’s head and face, so she reached out to wipe her face. She was scared speechless by Angel’s blatant rudeness.
The sound of a car came from outside when Callum returned. Angel calmed down and growled angrily when she heard it, “Why are you still standing here? Do you want to let my dad see you like this?”
Madelyn said anxiously, “I… I’ll go back to my room.”
Angel let out a sigh of relief when she saw Madelyn hiding in the servant’s quarters with milk all over her body. She was also worried that Madelyn would complain about her.
It was good that Madelyn was so sensible. Angel did not leave, but quickly walked to greet Callum instead.
Callum drank a little wine in the evening during a social event. When he entered the living room, he saw Angel looking at her and said, “Why aren’t you asleep at this hour?”
“I’m going to rest.”
“What’s on the ground?” Callum saw the milk on the ground.
“I accidentally knocked over some milk.” Angel replied calmly.
“Get someone to clean up. It’s getting late, so you should go to bed early.” Callum strode upstairs without suspicion.
When Callum did not ask further or show any doubt, Angel breathed a sigh of relief and followed him upstairs.
Angel fell heavily on the bed once she returned to her room and slammed the door.
What Deborah just said to her was too harsh and she didn’t believe that Richard didn’t like her.
It was clear that Mrs. Clark had promised that she could be together with Richard. How could it become like this in just a few hours?
It must be part of Valeria’s scheme. She must have wanted to introduce Braelynn to Richard.
Valeria was too detestable and she even went against her own family member. Why did she help an outsider? Why was she on Braelynn’s side?
Angel rolled on the bed a few times. The more she thought about it, the angrier and more unwilling she became.
Now was not the time for her to be reserved. Anyway, she followed Richard on Instagram so she could text him directly.
Angel turned over and sat up before she picked up her phone and pondered for a long time. Finally, she typed a message and sent it. However, she did not expect that a red exclamation mark would appear on the screen. The message couldn’t be sent because they weren’t mutuals.
Angel looked at the screen dumbfounded!
What was going on? Didn’t she follow Richard before this? How could this be? Could it be that Richard had removed her?
Why did he do that? She did not do anything wrong.
Angel couldn’t figure it out, so she felt both uncomfortable and angry.
Valeria and Abbie must’ve spoken ill of her in front of Richard and made him remove her.
“Valeria, I will definitely get back at you for this!”
