William understood what Marcus meant, so he sneered and said, “That old bastard, Ornard, is so despicable that I’m appalled!”
Marcus also felt that Ornard’s plan was too vicious. “Yes, he replaced his daughter with the heiress of the Floyd family. He is so scheming, and I’m guessing that he has been planning all this for a long time. He has been keeping the Floyd family in the dark all this time. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid that all of the Floyd family’s property would have fallen into his hands.”
William frowned. Ornard was targeting the assets of the Floyd family and his plan was definitely not something that was done in a few days. He must’ve planned in since Veronica married Callum.
Ornard knew Callum very well. He knew that Callum didn’t like Veronica, and that Callum would never sleep with another woman other than Emily. Since Callum would never have another child, Ornard took advantage of his own daughter to plan all this.
Ornard made Veronica loyal and devoted to him all these years by making her believe that he was faithful to her. Veronica thought that Ornard loved her deeply, so she always gave in to him. If Veronica knew that Angel was Ornard’s daughter, she would certainly find it hard to accept it.
Marcus suddenly said when William was thinking, “Mr. Howard, I suddenly have an idea. Ornard made Veronica loyal to him out of love. If we reveal Angel’s identity as Ornard’s daughter, he will definitely be in deep trouble! When the time comes, Veronica will definitely turn against him. By then, we can sit and watch them fight to the death.”
William did not take Marcus’ advice. “I’ve thought about this method, but it’s not the right time. Ornard wouldn’t really suffer if he fought against Veronica. My future plans will go up in flames if he recovers from it. After all, I need to do something that Ornard will never forget.”
Marcus knew William had his own way of doing things, so he was very curious about what William would do next. “Boss, what are we going to do next?”
“There are several things to do now. The first one is to find out the identity of Angel’s mother.”
“I’ll arrange it right away.” Marcus agreed.
“There is one more plan that we need to start soon.”
William tapped his fingers lightly on the table and put on a mysterious smile. “How’s the arrangement with Pierre going?”
“He has followed our orders and suggested that Angel should scheme against Richard. However, Angel is injured now and she can’t do anything until she recovers.” Marcus tentatively asked William after he said that.
“Mr. Howard, are you going to use Angel’s crush on Richard against her and ruin her reputation?”
“No! Ruining her reputation is child’s play!” William said coldly.
“Ornard wanted Angel to hook up with Richard for her to marry into his family. He’s planning to deal with me by then. I want to give him a surprise and let him see his daughter getting pregnant. He’ll only realize that everything was completely different from his plan only when he’s holding his grandchild. I’m looking forward to Ornard’s reaction at that time.”
“Mr. Howard, have you found a candidate for Angel’s pregnancy?” Marcus continued.
“Of course! Isn’t Gurmisran very happy now? He’s so close to Ornard and it hasn’t been easy for him to sacrifice so much. I think Ornard should compensate him in some way. It’s best if Ornard’s daughter can give birth to Gurmisran’s daughter.”
Marcus clapped his hands and laughed after hearing William’s explanation. “You’re so smart! There is really nothing better than this! Ornard will definitely go crazy if he knows about this!”
William also smiled slightly. “It’s a matter of time before he goes mad. Ornard’s priority now is to deal with the city construction project and he must face reality with the rising value of the materials. If I’m not wrong, his profits will go down the drain soon.”
Meanwhile, in the hospital in America, Ornard held his cell phone and stayed silent after Gurmisran called again to report that the prices of materials were inflating exponentially.
Gurmisran, who was on the other end of the line, took the initiative to ask when Ornard stayed silent, “Mr. Laban, this situation is unfavourable. Since it cannot be reversed, we have to find a way to deal with it.”
“I want to fix it, but what else can I do now?” Ornard’s voice was filled with exhaustion and dejection.
Gurmisran thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t we take advantage of Paisley to deal with this mess? Anyway, the Anthony family is in charge of the city construction project. We persuaded Paisley to cooperate with us, so we can just this mess to the Anthony family.”
“Paisley is not easy to deal with. If I want to make use of her, I can only marry her. How can Veronica tolerate it if I do that? Veronica has strayed away from me because of my relationship with Paisley. A woman’s jealousy is extremely terrifying. I don’t want this incident to ruin my plan to plot against the Floyd family. After all, the Floyd family is the main goal for me.”
“Mr. Laban, I’ll say something that might make you unhappy. Veronica is starting to be disloyal to you because of Paisley’s matter. To put it bluntly, she’s useless to you now and she’ll only bring trouble to you. You should consider how she’ll interfere with our plan.”
“I know. I’m just… but she has been with me for so many years. Haven’t I gone too far by doing this to her?” Ornard had made a choice in his heart, but Gurmisran was his loyal subordinate. He didn’t want Gurmisran to know that he was so vicious.
Gurmisran answered immediately, “It’s not unreasonable at all. Great people won’t care about trifling matters and we must be cruel for your grand ambition. She’d better be obedient and don’t cause any trouble because we won’t change our plan for an insignificant person.”
Ornard fell into dee thought he hung up. He had never had any sense of allegiance and loyalty in his dictionary. Veronica was just his pawn and he had to find a way to deal with her now that she was going astray.
Angel suddenly called him as he was deep in thought and complained tearfully, “Woo… Uncle, I was beaten up! I’m covered in wounds and I’ve been disfigured!”
Ornard’s heart ached when he heard that Angel was injured. “What’s going on? Who hit you?”
“Braelynn… She hit me. Not only did she hit me, but I was also scalded. I’m covered with scars now and I’m in so much painl!”
Ornard was shocked by Angel’s words and questioned angrily, “How can Braelynn be so arrogant? Do your grandfather and father know that you were beaten?”
Angel cried, “Yes, but they didn’t care at all. They just threw me in the hospital and asked the servants to take care of me.”
“This… Aren’t they going too far?” Ornard was angry and his heart was secretly shocked. The Floyd family had always doted on Angel before. How could they suddenly change their attitude? There must be some other reason.
“Veronica, didn’t your dad and grandpa love you very much before? Why did they suddenly change their attitude? Did you do something?”
