Deborah wouldn’t agree with William’s suggestion. “What if the kidnappers don’t call us?”
“That won’t happen. Didn’t you say that the kidnappers wanted 20 million dollars?”
“That was what the kidnappers said to threaten me before this, but they might change their minds after so long. What if the kidnappers hurt her? That money doesn’t mean much to us and we’re willing to pay any amount as long as the kidnappers don’t hurt Azalea.”
“Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll arrange for someone to look for Azalea.” William had no choice but to agree when he saw how worried Deborah was.
“Don’t call the police. I’m afraid that the kidnappers will kill Azalea if they know we made a report!” Deborah reminded again.
“I know. Grandma, don’t worry. I promise you with my life that nothing will happen to Azalea.”
Callum’s phone rang as soon as William made his promise. Emily called. “Did something happen to Azalea?”
“No!” Callum still wanted to hide it from Emily, but she said with a tearful voice, “Are you lying to me? Callum, stop lying to me! I just received a message that Azalea is in their hands and they asked me to prepare 200 million dollars.”
“Did the kidnappers send you a message?” Callum was shocked.
“Was Azalea really kidnapped? Why did this happen and who kidnapped her?”
“Emily, don’t worry. I’ll think of a way. My father and I will find a way to keep her safe.”
“You must be kidding me. Callum, do you think you can protect her? Would you let her be swapped with Angel if you could look after her well? I don’t believe you. I just want my daughter! If anything happens to Azalea, I will never forgive your wife and your brother-in-law. I will definitely fight them!”
“Emily, are you saying that Veronica and Ornaed kidnapped Azalea?”
“Who else would kidnap her? It’s my biggest mistake to know you, Callum. I’ve lived as if I’m stepping on eggshells all these years and I’ve tried my best to stay far away from you. Why can’t you let me go? Give my daughter back!”
Callum was extremely sad when he heard Emily’s complaints on the phone. “Emily, I’ll make sure that our daughter comes back safely. I’ll make definitely make it happen! Don’t panic and forward the kidnapper’s message to me. Let’s discuss it.”
Emily sent the message to Callum, who immediately asked someone to check the number of the kidnappers and showed it to William. “William, what should we do now? Azalea is indeed in the hands of the kidnappers. What should be our next step?”
William frowned and thought for a moment after he read the message. “Uncle, don’t worry! Leave it to me, you don’t have to do anything. Believe me, I will definitely bring her back alive and well.”
How could Callum not be anxious? “William, her life should be your priority and you must handle this matter well. I’m begging you!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. Just wait for my news.”
William left the ward and called Marcus. “Where is Azalea now? Find out her information and report it to me immediately.”
Meanwhile, Azalea hid in the room outside the city and she nervously sent a message to Paisley. “Ms. Anthony, how is the Floyd family doing? Did they fall for your plan?”
“Deborah has been sent to the hospital and your identity will be revealed very soon,” Paisley replied.
“Are you sure?” Azalea was skeptical of Paisley’s words.
“I’m sure! Miss Clark, you can just wait for your happy life to begin.” Paisley replied with a sneer on her face. Was Azalea so foolish to believe that Paisley would actually help her return to the Floyd family?
How could she be so kind? She would never help Azalea just because of the latter’s bad attitude towards her previously.
The only reason why she stirred up so much trouble was that she wanted to deal with Angel. Paisley first sent an anonymous message to Deborah to reveal the identities of Angel and Azalea. Then, she lied to Deborah that she had evidence to lure Deborah out alone.
She arranged for someone to put a fake recording of Azalea being kidnapped in the private room. She then drugged Deborah to make her lose consciousness and called Emily to determine Angel’s current condition.
Paisley used a voice-changing software to disguise herself as Deborah and called Emily to see if she knew the inside story. She wanted to throw Emily under the bus as well. However, Emily’s reaction was very impatient and she hung up the phone impatiently after a few words. Judging from the content of the call, it sounded as if Emily knew that Angel was not her daughter.
If both Azalea and Angel wasn’t Emily’s daughter, who was the real heiress of the Floyd family?
Paisley thought about all the people she could think of and she couldn’t recall a potential candidate. She did not care where the real heiress of the Floyd family was.
The only thing she wanted desperately was to kill Angel. Now that Deborah was in a coma and she was being rescued, the Floyd family and William would definitely go to the hospital to guard her.
Everyone would read the messages that Deborah had received and the Floyd family would definitely doubt the information. As long as the Floyd family was willing to do the DNA test, Azalea and Angel’s identities would be exposed.
Angel was so arrogant even though she lived in the Floyd family as an impostor for so many years. The Floyd family would be so disgusted with Angel when the truth was exposed and she would be destroyed.
Moreover, Azalea was not Emily’s daughter at all, so she would not be the heiress of the Floyd family. Haha, it was impossible for her to be an heiress when she wasn’t related to the Floyd family at all!
In order to put on a realistic act, Paisley arranged for someone to send a message to Emily to say that Azalea had been kidnapped. She even asked Emily to prepare a ransom.
Emily quickly replied, “You can’t hurt her and we can discuss it if you want money. As long as you don’t hurt her, you can ask for as much money as you want!”
Paisley sneered when she saw Emily’s message. It seemed that Emily did not know that Azalea was not her own child. If so, she had to find another way to deal with Angel and use Azalea to extort a sum of money from the Floyd family. Since the Floyd family was so rich, it should not be a problem to ask for more than twenty million dollars, right?
She had to come up with a long term plan and it would be best if she could buy some time for Azalea.
Azalea was the only one that knew about their collaboration, so she had to settle Azalea if she wanted to blackmail the Floyd family.
The most direct way was to kill her because a dead person could not speak. Azalea was just an insignificant pawn to Paisley, so she could just kill Azalea after extorting the Floyd family.
She had to plan this carefully!
