A few minutes later, Veronica sent about four to five pictures of Ornard being hospitalized. Angel sneered when she saw the photo of Ornard lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip on his arm.
She did not hurriedly get ahold of Fandrey and Callum. She had instead forwarded the pictures to Pierre.
“Veronica just contacted me and said that Ornard was severely injured in a car accident. She gave me these photos and I should say that Ornard’s acting is rather convincing.”
Pierre reverted back and said, “You are right. His acting is quite good!”
“Do you think I should assist Ornard and Veronica in putting on an act? I do not feel like helping them as they have treated me poorly. I want their relationship to turn sour with my dad and grandpa!” Angel asked Pierre for his opinion.
Angel was actually trying to test the waters of Pierre. She felt that something was fishy when Pierre got ahold of her in laying a finger on Ornard.
Angel did not do anything this time as the plan was all carried out by Pierre himself. He was just a wealthy person and a playboy who knew nothing at all. It was rather strange for him to have the ability in turning the world upside down for Ornard and Paisley.
Angel suspected that Pierre was working for someone else. She needed to test him and see how would he react.
Pierre was silent for a while and eventually asked, “Angel, are you trying to strain the relationship between you and the Laban siblings if your choice is to ignore them regarding this matter? Don’t you want to take advantage of them to reap some benefit in the future?”
“Of course, I would want to. However, I feel displeased when they have treated me so badly.”
“One needs to have the patience to win the race. You are free to do whatever you please provided that you are not expecting Veronica and Ornard to lend you a helping hand in the future. You must speak up for them to your grandfather as long as you intend to keep them in your team.”
Angel was trying to test Pierre. She eventually gave up as she did not find out anything useful.
She obviously did not plan to turn a blind eye towards Ornard and Veronica. They had assumed that Angel was an oblivious person and treated her as a fool. She then decided to continue playing dumb as the three of them were ultimately taking advantage of each other.
Angel got ahold of Fandrey and told him about Ornard’s injury in a car accident. She then showed him the pictures that Veronica had sent to her.
Fandrey’s face was full of sympathy and he said, “How could this happen? This is really unexpected! Angel, you should not sit back and do nothing as Ornard has been treating you really well. You need to head back to the United States and visit him since he is severely injured.”
Angel froze for a moment as it was not her intention to visit Ornard from the very beginning. However, it was logical for Fandrey to give a suggestion like that. Angel hesitated for a while and eventually replied, “I told Veronica about my intention to head back and visit Ornard just now. She told me not to return as I would not be of any help even if I leave the country.”
“Your mother is just being polite. How can the Floyd family not pay them a visit when such a huge incident has occurred? You should be the representative of the Floyd family in paying Ornard a visit as your father and I are very busy at the moment. Okay, it is decided then. I will instruct someone to buy you a flight ticket.”
Angel was dumbfounded as Fandrey was giving her instructions. She was not daring enough to snap back and eventually left the study room while feeling upset.
Angel became increasingly mad as she dwelled further into it. She did not want to visit Ornard at all and she wanted to continue lingering here as she still had so many things to do. It would be a question mark on whether Fandrey would let her return back if she really took a flight back to the United States.
Angel was lost in her thoughts and Emily eventually came into the picture. She needed to ask for Emily’s assistance as she was nevertheless her biological daughter. Emily had put a few good words of Angel to Callum regarding the building expansion project. She definitely had the ability to persuade Callum in letting Angel stay put in the country this time.
The following scene had occurred in the house of the Clark family. Azalea got off the car while holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand before ringing the doorbell. The servant opened the door and immediately greeted Azalea politely, “Miss Clark, hello there!”
“Is Helen at home?”
“Yes, she is. This way, please!”
Azalea entered the living room with the flowers in her arms. Helen was seen to be sending a text message with her mobile phone. She smiled upon seeing Azalea, “Don’t you need to record any shows for today?”
“I am off work for today. I come to visit you as I miss you dearly. I have got some flowers for you!” Azalea handed the bouquet to her. Helen accepted the flowers and thanked her. She then ordered the servant by saying, “Tea please!”
The servant swiftly brought out some tea. Azalea sat down and chatted with Helen for a while. The servant came out from the kitchen with a thermos bottle and several food containers. “Mrs. Clark, the soup and the food are ready. Shall we put them to the car now?”
Helen nodded, “Yes, do place them in the vehicle!”
“Helen, are you heading out?” Azalea immediately asked.
“That’s right. I am going to check up on Abbie as she had accidentally sprained her ankle. I have no idea what that crazy kid is up to every day. I am dead worried of her.”
“Abbie told you that she had sprained her leg?” Azalea swiftly asked upon hearing Helen’s words.
“Yes, she said that she had accidentally injured herself. Isn’t it a sprain?”
“Of course not. I heard from Meadow that Richard was the one who had pushed her.”
“What? Richard was the one who injured her? Why did he push Abbie?”
“Well… Helen, you have to promise me in keeping this a secret. Abbie would hate me to the core if she knows that I have told you about it.”
“Tell me everything that you are aware of. Rest assured as I will not tell Abbie regarding this matter.”
“I heard from Meadow that Richard was the one who had injured Abbie’s leg. She said that Abbie had shamelessly hooked up with Michael and they were both being caught red-handed by Richard. Abbie was being harmed as Richard was really pissed at them. He even hit Michael because of this incident.”
“Is that true?” Helen’s facial expression instantly changed.
“I don’t know as I am just telling you the things that I have known from Meadow. She was very furious as Richard did not show any mercy on Michael as he violently went physical on him. Michael’s face was covered with wounds and Meadow even got into an argument with Richard because of this. She would not have let Richard off the hook if it wasn’t for the sake of you and Donald.”
“Ridiculous! How absurd of this! I will get ahold of Abbie and demand an explanation from her right now!” Helen was about to explode with anger after hearing Azalea’s words.
The precious daughter of the Clark family had been humiliated by Meadow, that disgusting piece of shit. It was impossible for Helen to keep her cool after knowing about this.
It was worth mentioning that Michael happened to be the ex-fiance of Azalea. However, both Helen and Donald did not intend to allow their lovely daughter in marrying Michael even if Azalea was not in the picture.
Michael was a kind-hearted, capable, and charming man. However, his mother was a pain in the ass.
Meadow was just a mistress with a shameless attitude. She was an ill-cultured woman who did not respect Abbie at all. How could Helen stay silent when Meadow humiliated her only daughter like that?
Helen was so angry that she immediately stood up from her seat and walked out. Azalea was secretly overjoyed upon seeing that she was upset. Abbie was definitely going to receive an earful from Helen real soon.
Azalea followed suit by standing up and comforting her, “Helen, please don’t be mad. I would have kept it a secret from you should I know you would be that agitated.”
“I am actually glad that you told me about it. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark, right? Azalea, you need not bother to hide anything from me next time. You are welcome to tell me everything that you are aware of.”
“Helen, I shall come clean to you since you have worded it this way. To be honest, Abbie and Michael have been spending time together for a while. I once even saw them lighting the sky lantern during the evening.”
“Is that so? Why didn’t you tell me about this matter? Why would you choose to hide it from me?”
“I’m just… You should know that Abbie is a bad-tempered person. I’m afraid that she will do something to me if I tell you about it.”
“I bet she won’t have the guts to do so!” Helen got into the car angrily and continued speaking, “You need not feel intimidated by her. I will beat her to death if she dares to cause trouble for you!”
