Richard was about to leave the company when he received a message from Angel. He was stunned when he read it. Had Angel gone mad? When did he give her flowers?
William called him just as he was thinking and said, “I just arranged someone to send a bunch of flowers to Angel on your behalf. Did Angel say anything to you?”
“F*ck! Are you the one behind this? William, why are you giving flowers to that impostor? Are you trying to ruin my reputation? What will I do if Braelynn hears about this?”
“Don’t worry, I’m the one who arranged it. I’ll take care of it for you, and I’ll explain everything to Braelynn.”
“I don’t believe you. I say William, did you voluntarily call me to confess that you wanted to plot against me?”
“How can I scheme against you? I’m trying to find a way to help you, okay? Look, Braelynn will no longer be in danger after I’ve dealt with Angel and Ornard, who’s supporting her. Braelynn would return to the Floyd family to be the sole heiress and you can rightfully pursue her. All of my plans are for the future, so aren’t you supposed to take the initiative to accept my offer?”
“I don’t believe you. Can I marry Braelynn after this is over? I’ll gladly help you if my hopes can come true!”
“Shouldn’t the marriage be taken one step at a time? I am not Braelynn’s parents. Even if I am, I can’t make any decisions for her. You still need to work hard.”
Richard laughed and said, “Are you just giving me empty promises? I know you too well. You have never been nice to me unless you’re up to something. I have an account book to record the things you have done to me over the years. Anyway, you can’t harm me!”
William coughed and said, “Do you hate talking to me so much? Then I’ll ask Braelynn to talk to you about this instead.”
“Get out! You’ve always threatened me with Braelynn. Can you stop being so shamelss?” Richard scolded and added, “What do you want me to do this time?”
“It’s no big deal. Just go to dinner with Angel in a few days and accompany her to the nightclub for a few hours. Then, you’ll need to go to a hotel to get a room.”
“What are you planning? William, it can’t be what I’m thinking, right?”
“Yes, it is!” William answered simply.
“Shit, this is too…” Richard couldn’t find a word to describe William. He could only think of the consequences that Angel would face in the future. “William, aren’t you too ruthless?”
“It’s okay! I usually won’t take the initiative to provoke people. It’s not a big deal for others to target me, but I can’t stand it when they hurt the person that I care about. I’ll never show mercy to those who provoke me.”
“Alright, I know that you love your wife a lot. Speaking of which, Angel is also very disgusting and Ornard is so shameless. If we don’t teach them a lesson, they won’t know the consequences of their actions. Alright, I’ll play along with your plan.”
William knew that it was easy to persuade Richard since they had been friends for a long time, but he was now worried about the Floyd family.
He had hoped that Fandrey and Deborah would fall in love with Braelynn so his plan could be carried out sooner, but it seemed impossible now.
Since that was the case, he had to find some time to discuss this matter with Fandrey.
Meanwhile in Acma Corporation, Paisley was so anxious that she kept pacing around in her office.
The matter regarding the materials became even more intense and he was anxious because Ornard had not given any instructions.
What was Ornard thinking? Was he going to give up the city construction project?
hat would mean that he had given up on her. Did she suffer double losses this time?
The more Paisley thought about it, the more anxious she became. She picked up her phone and called Ornard again.
It was finally connected after the phone rang for a while and Ornard said in a hoarse voice, “Hello?”
“It’s me. How’s your body?”
Ornard coughed weakly and said, “Not very good, but I won’t die.”
“You know everything that happened in the company, don’t you?” Paisley did not have time to care about Ornard because she had to report the situation in the country quickly.
“What’s the matter?” Ornard pretended to be confused.
“It’s about the city construction project. The price of materials has skyrocketed and our production costs have increased. The project is in deep trouble now. I did a preliminary calculation. According to today’s price, we will lose at least a few hundred million dollars.”
“We’ll lost so much?”
“This is only a conservative estimate. I’m expecting to suffer more losses, so I can’t make a decision on my own and I’ve been waiting for your instructions. Do you think we should continue to wait or start to purchase some materials?”
“Let’s wait a little longer,” Ornard replied.
Paisley reminded, “We can’t wait. According to the contract we signed, the construction works have to start by next week. We must make a decision now.”
Ornard was silent for a moment. “We can’t afford such a big loss. Shall we transfer the project we’re working on to someone else?”
“Huh? Who will take over the business?”
“Since you’re so smart, you should help me think of a solution. I’m in pain, and my head hurts too.” Ornard paused for a moment. “I can’t handle the company’s affairs during this period of time. As my partner, you have to learn how to take over the company’s affairs.”
“What? Are you trying to act like we love each other to push away your responsibilities? When did we get together?” Paisley sneered.
“They made a mistake. I’ve been in a coma all the time and I didn’t know they would treat you like this. I’ll deal with them.” In order to get Paisley’s trust, Ornard added, “I know you’ve been wronged. Don’t worry, I’ve arranged for someone to deal with our affairs. Let’s get married first.”
“Are you really going to marry me? Are you joking?” Paisley asked in disbelief.
“Of course it’s true. I’ll arrange for someone to send you a link later. You can fill in the registration form first, and we’ll go to the marriage registration office when the time comes.”
Paisley was ecstatic when she listened to Ornard’s words because she dreamed of being his wife. She thought that Ornard would abandon her because something went wrong with the city construction project, but she didn’t expect that Ornard would give her such a surprise.
Paisley immediately said with joy, “I’m going to order a ticket and fly over to register our marriage.”
“I’ll arrange for someone to purchase the ticket for you, but your priority now is to deal with the company’s affairs. I hope you can give me a satisfactory result.”
Ornard wanted to let her settle this mess. Would he retract his marriage proposal if she couldn’t handle it?
Things had already become like this, so how could Paisley possibly have the capability to handle this problem.
Paisley came to her senses up and asked tentatively, “I have never experienced such a thing before. Could you give me a hint?”
“Find someone who can take over the project and push the problem to them. I believe you can do it since you’re so smart. You should work hard for our marriage and remember that I’m waiting for you in America!”
