Madelyn used to be a social butterfly, so she knew what the marks meant. She restrained her shrill voice and whispered instead, “Miss, who were you with?”
Angel looked at Madelyn fiercely. “How dare such a lowly bitch as yourself question me?”
“No… I’m not questioning you! I’m just concerned about you. Miss, did you use protection? It’s alright if you have those needs, but you need to use protection. It would be terrible if you were to get pregnant! To prevent you from getting pregnant, let me go and buy you some pills.”
As soon as Madelyn finished speaking, Angel slapped her. “Bitch! How dare you f*cking make your own decisions?”
Madelyn was stunned and covered her face with her hand. “Aren’t I doing this for you good? You’re not yet married. If you were pregnant and the guy didn’t want to take responsibility for you, you would be in big trouble. How would you get married later on?”
Angel was even angrier when she heard that, and she slapped Madelyn again. “Shut up! Shut the f*ck up! Don’t jinx me! Let me tell you. I will let this go if I get pregnant. But if not, you wait and see how I’ll kill you!”
The two slaps made Madelyn’s face burn, and she understood what Angel meant. So Angel wanted to get pregnant?
Back then, when Madelyn mistook the driver as the president, she also tried her best to get pregnant. Now Angel had the same objective as her and wanted to get pregnant before marriage. It seemed that genes were a powerful thing.
Madelyn had learned everything about Angel after she came to the Floyd family. She knew that there were no other men Angel liked except for Richard. So she asked again courageously, “Are you and Mr. Clark together?”
“So what?” Angel asked coldly.
Madelyn did not want Angel to be involved with Richard from the bottom of her heart. But since Angel was fixated on marrying Richard and even slept with him, she had no other choice. “Miss, is Mr. Clark sincere towards you?”
Angel’s eyes were full of viciousness and she scolded impatiently, “Why are you asking so many questions?”
“I’m just concerned about you! Miss, time can tell my loyalty to you!”
“That’s enough! Shut your mouth this time, and don’t let out any news. If you ruin my affairs, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
As Angel kept using vulgar words with her, Madelyn felt miserable. She had desperately wanted to stop Angel from having a relationship with Richard. But they were already together, and there wouldn’t be any use if Madelyn tried to stop Angel anymore. Now, Madelyn could only try to help Angel achieve what she wanted.
At Wolf Group International, Marcus put the video of Angel and Gurmisran’s live intimate scene on William’s office desk with a smile. “Mr. Howard, the video is pretty exciting. Do you want to watch it?”
“Have you watched it?” William asked.
“Just a little.” Marcus answered honestly.
“Aren’t you afraid that it will tarnish your eyes?”
“Isn’t that part of our job?”
“Go away!” William snorted. “I’m not interested in Angel and Gurmisran’s video. I only want the result. Keep an eye on Angel and try every means to make her pregnant!”
“I’ve already instructed Pierre to mislead her. If she’s not pregnant, she should walk the same path as Talitha. If not, we could plot a few times more for her to be together with Gurmisran.”
“Alright. You are fully in charge of this matter. Just tell me when you get the results. Right, what’s the progress with Paisley?”
“I’ve arranged for someone to check on this. Paisley and Ornard had already obtained their marriage license abroad. I think Ornard is planning to push the responsibility to the Anthony family.”
“This old man is pretty vicious!” William exclaimed. “There’s not much time left for them. Paisley will surely force Ornard to marry her. But for Ornard to agree to her request, she has to first persuade Mr. Anthony. Mr. Anthony is not a fool. It’s impossible for him to know nothing about the situation here. Now, it’s up to Paisley.”
“I don’t think Mr. Anthony will agree to Paisley’s request so easily.”
“Of course. Our purpose is not to let the Anthony family take over the city construction, as this project will return to the Floyd family sooner or later. So we shall first cause them to be in disarray. Tell Pierre that Paisley is planning to trick Mr. Anthony and get him to warn his dad.”
“Mr. Howard, if Pierre were to tell Mr. Anthony that Paisley is trying to deceive him, wouldn’t Mr. Anthony immediately reject Paisley’s request?”
“No, they are all as sly as foxes. Mr. Anthony wouldn’t give up a profit like this as he is also coveting the construction. If he could, he would want to take over the whole project. So he would think through both what Pierre and Paisley said and buy time for himself to see the outcomes. Paisley, on the other hand, would surely seize the opportunity to force Ornard into marrying her, while Ornard would comply with her for his goals and marry Paisley.”
Marcus also sighed and said, “Why are they causing so much trouble instead of living a proper life? If Paisley thinks that she could achieve her goals by marrying Ornard, she better be prepared to regret later on!”
“That’s not our concern. Arrange for someone to keep an eye on Paisley and Ornard’s marriage, which should happen these few days. As soon as they are married, tell Angel about it. I think Angel wouldn’t disappoint us as well.”
After Paisley had made up her mind to get Acma Corporation to take over the city construction, she started sparing no effort in persuading Mr. Anthony. She analyzed all the pros and cons of the project to get Mr. Anthony to take over it.
Mr. Anthony had heard about the city construction from Pierre a long time ago. He knew that Ornard was in a pickle and wanted to throw out this mess of a project. Just as William had thought, Mr. Anthony was a sly fox.
He did not completely believe in either Paisley or Pierre. He did not refute Pierre’s report, nor did he reject Paisley’s suggestion to take over the construction.
Mr. Anthony felt that the price of the construction materials would not continue on increasing for a long time. If the price were to drop, later on, he would be able to make a profit after taking over the construction. Because of that, he couldn’t immediately reject the proposal and decided to wait it out and see. To be sure, he discussed the details with Paisley and then wrote a requisition early contract for his subordinate to review.
Paisley thought that Mr. Anthony had taken the bait, so she immediately told Ornard the result of the discussion with Mr. Anthony. She also sent the contract that Mr. Anthony had drafted to Ornard to take a look.
Ornard saw how Paisley had managed to convince her father so quickly and was impressed by her. Paisley had been putting so much effort only to marry Ornard. On the other hand, Ornard thought that Paisley was pretty capable. So as a gift to Paisley, Ornard pushed forward the date for them to get married.
After Ornard arranged for someone to obtain the marriage license forms. He then spent some money to invite an officiator to sign his and Paisley’s marriage agreement. He then submitted the forms and got his marriage license.
After getting the marriage license, Paisley was relieved. From now on, she would be the real Mrs. Laban! With Ornard backing her up, she would be able to save Hardy and get revenge for all the humiliation she had suffered.
