Valeria was shocked by Bobby. “No, I didn’t. I brought the fruits here to share with both of you after I took a shower. What’s wrong?”
William stopped Bobby with a gaze and pulled Valeria into his arms with a smile. “Dear, did you really not eat any fruits?”
“No, I didn’t. Am I the kind of person who would steal food? Let me tell you, Grandma sent these fruits in the afternoon and she said that it was just delivered from abroad. I thought of how hard you’ve been working, so I didn’t eat it first. I wanted to wait for you to come back so we can eat together.”
“My dear wife is so good to me and I’m relieved that you haven’t eaten any.” William motioned for Bobby to take the fruits to one side.
Valeria was anxious. “Honey, what are you doing? Are you trying to take my fruits away? I’m telling you, there aren’t many and I’ve given some to dad. The rest are all here.”
“If you want to eat it, I’ll ask someone to buy it for you. Don’t eat any of the fruit on this plate. For the safety of you and your baby, don’t eat anything sent by the Floyd family in the future.”
This was too much information and Valeria was a little confused. “Why? Are you worried that Grandma will poison me?”
“It’s not Grandma. I’m just worried that Angel will have ill intentions.”
“Is Angel up to no good again? Do you have solid evidence now?”
“Not yet, but Angel has already asked someone to buy some drugs that are harmful to pregnant women and babies. Since you humiliated her yesterday, I think she wants to do something to you.”
“Damn it! I’m going to kill her!” Valeria was so angry that she almost jumped up, but William hugged her and said, “Calm down! Don’t get so agitated. I will deal with these things. I just want to remind you that you can’t be too careful about what will happen, so you’d better not eat anything sent by the Floyd family just in case.”
Valeria was filled with hatred. “Damn it. She tried to kill me before, but I forgave her for the sake of the Floyd family. I won’t care about anyone this time, and I must kill this vicious and shameless girl.”
“I know, but I’ll handle it. Don’t be angry. It’s not good for the baby.” William reached out and rubbed Valeria’s chest. Then, he looked at Bobby and said, “Make arrangements to buy the fruits that Madam likes to eat. By the way, check up on my dad and stop him from eating the fruit.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Bobby left with the fruit.
After William comforted Valeria for a while, her anger had mostly dissipated and William dragged her upstairs.
The fruits were placed on the desk inside Hayden’s study. Hayden didn’t move at all as he was very serious when he was drawing. When Bobby pushed open the door and walked in, he breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Hayden hadn’t eaten the fruits yet. He then reached out and took the fruits away, but Hayden called out to him. “Didn’t Valeria send this? Why did you take them away?”
“This fruit can’t be eaten, so Sir asked me to throw it away.”
“What’s going on?” Hayden put down his pen and looked at Bobby, who rubbed his head and gave a brief account of Angel’s matter. Hayden gritted his teeth in anger. “This disgusting girl, does she have a death wish?”
“Don’t be angry, Sir. William is already making preparations and we’ll deal with her shortly.”
Hayden suppressed his anger. “I hope William won’t disappoint me. Angel is so despicable, so you must let her know the consequences of her actions.”
Angel did not return home until nine o’clock at night. Fandrey and Deborah were not in the living room, so she directly strode upstairs to return to her own room.
Madelyn knocked on the door a few minutes after Angel returned to the room. She held the fruit and said with an ingratiating smile, “Miss, you’re back! Have you had dinner?”
“Yes!”
“I brought some fruit for you.” Madelyn closed the door and put the fruit on the table, which made Angel frown slightly. She was very disgusted whenever Madelyn came to her room every time she returned home. However, Angel suppressed her discomfort and asked, “Is my Dad back?”
“No, but I heard from Sir and Madam that he went to see someone,” Madelyn replied.
Callum must have gone to meet Richard and talk about Abbie. Angel saw that Madelyn still had no intention of leaving, so she asked unhappily, “Don’t you have anything else to do?”
“Yes.” Madelyn lowered her voice. “Miss, I heard Sir and Madam talk about you today.”
“Really? What did they say?”
“I didn’t hear it very clearly. I just faintly heard that they mentioned Valeria and there was a conflict. They said something about going overseas as well I suspect that they want to send you abroad.”
“What? Are you sure they said that?” Angel suddenly became nervous.
“Yes. Both of them were angry. I wanted to listen to them more, but they was too far away. Sammuel happened to come back after that and found that I was eavesdropping, so he reprimanded me.”
“What the hell?!” Angel muttered. She thought that Fandrey would give in if Callum convinced him, but Madelyn’s words meant that Fandrey and Deborah didn’t listen to Callum at all. Perhaps it was because Callum didn’t try hard enough.
Angel didn’t want to be sent back to America where she had to face Ornard and Veronica all day. She would become even more estranged from Callum, and it would be difficult for her to get back to her old life.
Madelyn saw that Angel was upset and asked carefully, “Miss, what do you think? You don’t want to go back, do you?”
Angel was not happy at all. “Why should I go back to America? My father and my grandparents are all here. I’ll be lonely there!”
Madelyn was relieved when she heard Angel’s words. “Miss, why don’t you talk to your father about it. You can ask him to persuade your grandparents to change their mind?”
“I’ve already told my dad, but it’s useless.” Angel pulled her hair in frustration. “Why doesn’t my dad want to help me? Why is he so happy when I’m gone?”
“This…” Madelyn felt like her heart ache at the thought of being separated from her daughter. She had entered the Floyd family for Angel, so what was the point of her efforts if Angel left?
Based on Angel’s personality, she would forget about Madelyn once she returns to the United States.
In order to cultivate a relationship with her own daughter, Madelyn had to find a way to make Angel stay.
Madelyn suddenly thought of Emily. Although Angel could not persuade Callum, Emily should be able to do it, right?
She immediately said, “Miss, I have a solution. I am going to find my sister and ask her to persuade your father.”
Angel immediately dropped the sad expression on her face when she heard Madelyn’s words. “Yes, how could I forget this? help me do it right now and send the message now.”
Madelyn immediately sent a message to Emily. “The Floyd family is going to send Ms. Floyd back to the United States, but she doesn’t want to go back. Can you convince Mr. Floyd change his mind?”
Madelyn assumed that Emily thought that Angel was her biological daughter, so she should want Angel to stay as well. She wouldn’t want Angel to leave, so she would definitely help to convince Callum as well.
However, Madelyn was absolutely wrong. A few minutes later, Emily said, “I don’t have the ability to persuade Callum, nor will I do so! Let me give you a piece of advice. You should know your own place as a mere servant in the Floyd family. Don’t have any other ideas and stop meddling in their family affairs!”
