Gurmisran did not hear the news that Mad Hatter and his underlings had gotten caught by the police until it was evening.
He immediately called Ornard and reported, “It failed and Mad Hatter has been caught. It was terrible and I heard from someone that he’s been completely blinded.”
“How can they be so savage? Who did it?” Ornard asked in surprise.
“Probably William’s men! He has arranged for people to protect Braelynn and he hired dozens of experienced agents. Mr. Laban, I don’t think it’s possible to harm Braelynn.”
“He arranged for someone to protect Braelynn? Isn’t Braelynn Hayden’s adopted daughter? She’s not someone noble, so why did William do that for her?”
Gurmisran said with a forced smile, “I also feel that it’s somewhat strange. However, William has never acted according to the norm. Perhaps he noticed something from our actions against Lucian. The driver is still being questioned and he has not been released yet.”
“Does the driver know much about the situation?” Ornard asked immediately.
“Not much, so he won’t have any impact. You know who Mad Hatter is and how vicious his men are. Their lives are always under threat, but they will not betray their employer.”
“I can’t believe that Mad Hatter actually failed! Didn’t you say that he’ll definitely succeed? What did the hell happen? Fortunately, I just wanted to help Angel to vent her anger. Wouldn’t I lose even more if I did something else?”
Gurmisran sensed Ornard’s indignance and comforted him. “Mr. Laban, we’re William’s territory and it’s hard to beat him at his own game. It’s normal that we’re no match for him here, but it’ll be a different story when he’s abroad. We’ll teach him a lesson when the time comes!”
“I know, but I still have to give Veronica an explanation.”
Ornard hung up the phone and sent a message to Angel, “Angel, there was an accident with the matter that you asked me to help you with.”
“No way?” Angel came back.
“William arranged for people to protect Braelynn and my men were wiped out. It’s impossible for them to lay their hands on Braelynn.”
Angel was very angry when she saw Ornard’s message and she didn’t believe Ornard’s words. He must be bluffing.
It was impossible for William to arrange any bodyguards to protect Braelynn. Ornard actually lied to her. He had gone too far!
Angel was so angry that she no longer paid any attention to Ornard and Pierre immediately sent her a message. “Ms. Floyd, have you told your uncle about the construction materials?”
“Yes! I said it earlier!”
“It’s just as I expected! Ms. Floyd, I just got the news that Paisley has ordered the procurement department to stop purchasing materials.”
“What does this mean?”
“It means that your uncle has told Paisley that the value of materials will drop soon, so Paisley ordered the procurement department to stop placing orders. They’re planning to purchase the materials once the price dips!”
Angel gnashed her teeth when she heard Pierre’s words, and he continued to add fuel to the fire. “Your uncle is so despicable that he made use of you for Paisley, that bitch. Ms. Floyd, are you not going to do anything?”
“What can I do in this situation? Anyway, he is still my uncle.” Angel was angry and full of frustration.
How could she have the ability to deal with Ornard? He and Veronica had always been helping her with her schemes and evil deeds. Not only had Ornard stopped helping her, but he also took advantage of her to help outsiders. She really had no way to deal with this.
“Ms. Floyd, you can’t do anything to your uncle, but you shouldn’t be soft to Paisley, right? To put it bluntly, Paisley robbed your family’s project and convinced your uncle to use you. You should get back at her for this, right?”
Pierre’s words served as a reminder for Angel. She had no ability to go against Ornard, but she could deal with Paisley. Pierre wanted her to know about this because he had already planned to deal with Paisley. Hence, Angel wanted to see what Pierre was going to do. “Do you have a way to deal with Paisley?”
Pierre replied and said, “Yes, we will release the news that Paisley and your uncle are together.”
“That’s it? Paisley is so shameless, so why would she care about this? Maybe she is waiting for the news to be released so that she can marry my uncle.”
“Everyone would have a sense of pride and I don’t believe that Paisley would be so shameless. Even if your uncle is old, I’m sure he values his reputation as well. Let’s release the news first and make a big deal out of it. You can tell your mother that Paisley is hooking up with your uncle first and see how she reacts.”
“Why do we have to tell Veronica? Doesn’t this have nothing to do with her?” Angel asked in reply.
“How can that be? We’ll tell Veronica about Paisley’s scandals to destroy her reputation. As Ornard’s sister, Veronica will think for Ornard’s sake and she’ll definitely stop Paisley from marrying him, right?”
Angel also agreed with Pierre. According to Angel’s previous observation, Veronica always had the right to control Ornard’s affairs, especially when it came to women.
She remembered that Ornard had a relationship with the female secretary before. Veronica beat up the secretary and said that the secretary was shameless and improper. After that, Ornard directly obeyed Veronica and dismissed the secretary.
If Veronica knew about Paisley’s scandals, she would definitely stop Ornard from marrying Paisley. At that time, Paisley would get nothing.
After some thought, she decided to go along with Pierre’s plan. “Okay, you can release the news and we’ll see how effective it is. By the way, are you hiding anything from me?”
Pierre denied, “No, what can I possibly hide from you?”
Angel knew that Pierre would never be loyal to her. He must have hidden something from her, but she couldn’t care too much about that now. She would never let Paisley get satisfaction from this and everyone who went against her had to be punished.
“You should do it as soon as possible! I’ll wait for your good news.”
The video of Paisley going into Ornard’s villa late at night was soon released.
Ornard wasn’t in the video, but the face of the bodyguard who opened the door for Paisley could be vaguely seen.
Paisley, the heiress of Acma Corporation, had been hooking up with an old man in the middle of the night and this piece of news made headlines everywhere.
It was so viral that it topped all the charts on the social media websites.
When Paisley saw the news, she did not care about it at all and said to Danya, “This must be done by Pierre, the bastard. Did he only do something as petty as this after he prepared for so long?”
“Pierre is just like his mother, who will never be taken seriously. He can only do detestable things like this. Miss, why don’t you call your father to complain about Pierre and his mother?”
“We’ll talk about that later. I’m more concerned about how Ornard is right now, so let’s wait and gauge his reaction first.”
