Paisley received the invitation from Ornard to register their marriage half an hour later.
Paisley clicked on the website and saw the details of Ornard marriage registration, so she immediately filled in her details.
Paisley had a smile on her face after she handed it in because she was one step closer to her goal now. The next thing she had to do was take the marriage certificate and plan the wedding ceremony.
Ornard gave Paisley a week to deal with the city construction project, but she was not sure if she could handle the affairs well.
It was just that Ornard’s proposal was too tempting. She knew that this was a test and a chance for her to successfully marry Ornard, so she had to take advantage of this opportunity.
She did not have much experience in managing a company, so she did not know how to deal with it. She only agreed because she had a backup plan, and that was to ask Hardy for help in prison.
In order to confirm her relationship with Emily, Azalea secretly took Emily’s biological sample and went to the appraisal center to do the DNA test.
Azalea covered her face with sunglasses and a mask for fear of being discovered when she went to the appraisal centre. After she handed the sample to the staff, they asked her to collect the report three days later. Azalea did not stay any longer and quickly left right after that.
Azalea walked very fast after she came out, so she did not notice a black car coming from the opposite side. Paisley was browsing the news with her mobile phone when she looked out of the window unconsciously and saw Azalea coming out of the appraisal centre fully covered up.
Paisley was curious about Azalea’s dressing, so she stared at Azalea for a while while she ordered the driver, “Slow down.”
The driver slowed down and Paisley continued to stare at Azalea. Paisley found that the way Azalea walked was very familiar. Then, she finally recognized who it was when she saw Azalea pull down her mask after getting into the car.
Paisley narrowed her eyes and murmured, “What’s the matter with Azalea’s face? Why did she come to the appraisal centre?”
The driver didn’t know Azalea, so he couldn’t understand what Paisley was talking about. He asked, “Miss, who is Azalea?”
“No one important.” Paisley did not continue the topic and told the driver, “Speed up, don’t let my brother wait for too long.”
The car stopped at the gate of Juxemburg’s prison and Paisley got off the car with her driver.
Paisley immediately called the chief warden of the prison after that. The driver then took out some clothes, bedding, some daily necessities, and books from the trunk.
The warden called the doorman after he received Paisley’s call. She then brought the driver in while carrying a few belongings. After that, they were briefly interrogated and checked before they were allowed to enter the prison.
After they passed through the entrance of the prison, someone came out and took Paisley to the visiting room. The driver was taken to Hardy’s cell after he took the supplies from the police.
Hardy had long been notified that Paisley would come to visit him and he had waited for half an hour at the visiting area. When he saw Paisley coming in, Hardy immediately stood up and reached out to grab the phone.
Paisley was also very excited when she saw Hardy, so she quickly walked to the opposite side of the glass and grabbed the phone.
Paisley spoke first, “Hardy! Are you okay?”
“I’m alright” Hardy replied.
“Did anyone bully you? You have to tell me if you’re being bullied and I’ll think of a way to help you.”
“I’m fine now because they arranged a single room for me. I won’t be bullied, but it’s just that I have to work…” Hardy sighed. As the first heir of the Anthony family and the high-ranking CEO of Acma Corporation, it was too torturous for him to be stuck in prison where he had to do manual labour. “Paisley, how are you doing outside?”
“I’ve been trying to save you, but I didn’t succeed. I’m in trouble now!”
“Hm? Did Ornard break his promise?” Hardy retorted.
“No, Ornard and I are already together, and we also attained the city construction project from the Floyd family. I thought everything would go well, but I didn’t expect that so many unpredictable things would happen.”
Paisley told Hardy about her relationship with Ornard, including the incident with the construction project.
Hardy listened to Paisley’s story quietly and sighed heavily after she finished. “I didn’t expect Ornard to be defeated by William.”
“What does this have to do with William?” Paisley did not understand.
“Isn’t it obvious? William knew that Ornard was going to do something to the Floyd family, so he deliberately let you succeed. He also manipulated Ornard by dealing with the construction materials and sent someone to humiliate Ornard. I think William will definitely deal with Ornard again. Paisley, according to my intuition, Ornard will get into trouble son. You’d better cut yourself ties with him as soon as possible.”
“How… how is this possible? Hardy, don’t talk about it like that. I don’t believe that all of this was planned by William. He doesn’t have superpowers, so how would he know that Ornard and I were working together? Furthermore, he wouldn’t know that Angel would leak the contents of the bid to Ornard. If he knew that, how would the Floyd family let Angel off? Angel is not affected by all these matters at all right now.”
Paisley took a deep breath and said, “Moreover, what can I do if even Ornard is no match for William? How can I save you?”
Hardy’s only suspect was William. “If it wasn’t William, who would it be? There’s no one else in Juxemburg that can do this.”
“Hardy, this may be a coincidence. I have done my investigation and concluded that the construction materials have nothing to do with William because there aren’t any construction companies under his name. Even Archer and Richard don’t own any companies that deal with raw materials, so this is definitely not part of William’s scheme.”
Hardy also suspected his own judgment after hearing Paisley’s words. “Is that so? Could it be that I’m too full of myself?”
“You must have a sense of fear towards William, so you’ll think he’s part of everything that happened. William is not that powerful.” Paisley did not believe that William would be so capable. She needed to solve this situation now, so she could only ask Hardy for help.
“Hardy, the construction project is going to fail soon. Can you help me think of a way? I don’t want to give up like this because I have already sacrificed myself to that old bastard, Ornard. I’m going to lose everything if I give up now.”
Hardy frowned and sighed slightly, “Paisley, you and Ornard will definitely lose this deal unless the price of the materials falls.”
“Is there really no way? Hardy, it’s impossible that you cant think of a way since you are so smart. For our future, you must find a way to solve it.”
Hardy was silent for a while and said, “There is another way, that is to find someone to take over the project. But how can someone else be willing to take it in this situation? Unless the other party doesn’t know about the situation at all, or no one will be stupid enough to take over this mess. The only other way is to set my father up…”
