Gurmisran was shocked as he heard a vague thud from the other end. “Mr. Laban! Mr. Laban!”
There was no way that Ornard could reply to him. Gurmisran panicked as he was not aware of Ornard’s current situation. There was no time for hesitation and he swiftly instructed the driver, “Hurry up! The hospital! Let us head towards the hospital right now!”
The following scene had occurred in the house of the Floyd family. Angel was sitting on the terrace and enjoying her red wine. She was feeling overjoyed upon reading the scandal of Paisley.
Angel was feeling excited upon seeing the comments that criticized Paisley regarding this matter. She swiftly logged into her spam account and was as busy as a bee to press the thumbs-up button at the said comments.
Angel became increasingly thrilled upon seeing one of the comments who wanted to dig more information about Ornard. She muttered with resentment, “Go ahead! Find as much information as you could! It would be best if all of his personal details are leaked on the internet. I am relatively impressed at Pierre, that fella to be somewhat capable!”
She immersed herself into this scandal drama for about half an hour before Ornard’s breaking news eventually surfaced on the internet. She sprung up from her seat upon seeing the picture of Ornard being stripped naked with words on his body stating that he had hooked up with Paisley.
Angel quickly dialed Pierre’s number and said, “Did you lay a finger on Ornard as well? Pierre, aren’t you afraid that he will seek revenge on you?”
Pierre denied, “It wasn’t me. How could I have the ability to do that? I am telling you, the man who had messed with Ornard was another lover of Paisley.”
“Are you saying that Paisley has another boyfriend? Oh My God! Who is it?”
“I have no idea. Angel, have you told Veronica about the matter between Ornard and Paisley?”
“I did mention it before but not in a straightforward matter. I have only sent her a video about their secret relationship. Veronica, that old freak refused to believe me and she even gave me an earful about it!”
“You should try your luck one more time since the scandal has eventually been exposed to the public. I do not think that she would be doubtful about it this time!” Pierre suggested.
“You do have a point. Let me tell her about it right away! It feels f*cking good to slap her in the face by facts!”
Angel eventually ended the conversation with Pierre. She downloaded Ornard’s photos and footage from the internet before sending them over to Veronica.
“Mummy, this is Ornard, right? Or have I got things mixed up? The internet claims that he is Paisley’s adulterer. Men of Paisley’s other lover were being instructed to get ahold of Ornard and strip him naked. Ornard was then painted with words saying that he had hooked up with Paisley on his entire body. This must not be Ornard, right? How could Ornard have any relationship with Paisley and be humiliated like this judging by his personality? The man in the video must be just very similar to Ornard in terms of appearance, right?”
Veronica was bombarded by a series of WhatsApp messages from Angel. She clicked on it and was fuming with anger.
She immediately called, “Angel, what on earth is going on?”
“This is a piece of trending news happening in the country today. I shall send you a detailed report about this matter and I do think that this man looks a lot like Ornard. However, how could he have any business with Paisley? I know that Ornard is not my uncle but this matter may have a negative impact on him. Mummy, it would be best for you to ask him regarding the full picture.”
Veronica clicked on the article that Angel had sent her just now. Who else could it be other than Ornard, who was being stripped naked in the video?
Veronica had always thought that Angel was just spewing nonsense with baseless opinions. She did not expect Ornard and Paisley were indeed in a romantic relationship with each other.
How could he hook up with Paisley, that bitch?
It was as clear as day that Ornard did not take Veronica seriously!
Veronica was so upset that she was about to explode. Anger and jealousy had been brewing inside her and she swiftly gave Ornard a call.
His phone could not be gotten through. Veronica tried to contact his bodyguards in trying her luck once again but to no avail. She was feeling both upset and worried about this matter.
She despised Ornard for being so shameless in flirting around with Paisley. It was karma for his scandal to be exposed out to the public and she did not sympathize with him at all. Veronica would definitely hit him several times to vent her anger out if Ornard was currently reachable in person.
However, Veronica was utterly afraid of thinking about the building expansion project.
Paisley and Ornard had won the bidding contract over from the Floyd family. How could the Floyd family be unaware of their scandal judging by the current situation?
The Floyd family was not to be simply trifled with. They would soon know that Paisley and Ornard were on the same team to plot against the Floyd family.
Veronica was feeling much more troubled regarding another matter compared to the embarrassment of Ornard. She was worried that the Floyd family would connect the dots and soon found out that Ornard had schemed against the Floyd family.
She needed to come up with a plan to prevent things from going further downhill!
Veronica tried calling Gurmisran this time. She shouted on top of her lungs when he answered the phone call, “Hurry up and find a way to suppress the news from being trending on the internet! You need to get it done right now!”
Gurmisran replied in a troubled tone, “I am in the midst of it but I cannot seem to push it down! I have already spent hundreds of billions in this matter!”
“What should we do then? Where is Ornard? Where on earth is he currently at? He should come up with a way as soon as possible, shouldn’t he?”
“Mr. Laban is currently at the hospital and I will be arriving there soon. I shall discuss this matter with him and update you about it later.”
Gurmisran spoke with Paisley while parking his car in the hospital’s parking lot. He hurriedly got down from his vehicle and headed straight to the hospital ward.
Ornard had passed out once again upon knowing that he had made a fool out of himself. He had just awakened when Gurmisran entered the ward.
Gurmisran could not care less of making Ornard anxious again and went straight to the point, “We cannot suppress the news from spreading further. Besides, your sister is already aware of this matter and she had just contacted me asking regarding your whereabouts. Mr. Laban, what should we do now? You have to make up your mind right now.”
Ornard was out of ideas in solving this mess. “Let us not put any more efforts regarding the hot news since things have already gone out of hand!”
“But… the Floyd family will soon know what happened between you and Paisley. The Floyd family would suspect that you and Paisley had joined forces to plot against them. The ulterior motive of Angel would then be exposed.”
“This is not game over for us despite me saying to call it quits in suppressing the piece of trending news. I should get discharged from the hospital and return to the United States right away! The trouble here would turn to ashes as long as I make my appearance in America!”
Gurmisran immediately understood what did Ornard meant and said, “I shall arrange your flight schedule right away! You can leave the country by midnight. However, how should we explain ourselves to the police? We need someone to take over in dealing with the person who had harmed you, right?”
“You can arrange anyone to be the representative on my behalf! This is the most humiliating thing that I have ever experienced throughout my life. I will never leave that bastard alone! I want him to pay for his mistakes by ten folds!”
“Don’t worry as I have already contacted someone that I am very close with. We will never let the culprit off the hook!”
The trustworthy friend of Gurmisran gave him a call when he had just finished speaking. “I have already kept an eye on the matter that you have told me just now. There is a hiccup regarding this incident.”
“What is it?” Gurmisran immediately asked.
“The culprit seemed to have got things mixed up!”
“Are you saying that he had targeted the wrong person? What do you mean?”
“The man was in a secret relationship with a woman that was named Paisley Anthony as well. He had mistaken the daughter of the Anthony family as his lover upon seeing the trending news on the internet. He then brought along his men to sort things out. He is now only aware that it is a big misunderstanding after all!”
Gurmisran was furious and said, “What? Is he trying to push the blame away by claiming that he had got things mixed up?”
“The man at fault had promised to apologize for his rash behavior in person. He is also willing to pay the compensation fee and he would like to know about the price.”
“I am not interested in his wealth. I want to send him to jail instead!”
“We can lock him up but he would just be there for only a few days. I suggest you to coming into an agreement via the damage fee. It is nice to gain some financial benefit regarding this situation, isn’t it?”
“Do I f*cking look like someone who is desperate for money?” Gurmisran raised his voice.
The friend of Gurmisran was feeling rather displeased upon hearing about it and replied, “Fine then, I have already told you everything that I am aware of and it is now up to you in making the final call. The best way would be to ask for a compensation fee. However, you are free for this case to go for trial if you cannot come to an agreement. By the way, I have already given your phone number to the man at fault. He would probably contact you real soon!”
