Meanwhile, in the hospital, Deborah kept urging Fandrey to get news of Azalea.
Emily also rushed to the hospital from home.
Emily could no longer pretend after knowing that Azalea had been kidnapped. Her eyes were swollen from crying and she kept repeating to Callum, “I only want her to come back safely! I can do anything as long as she can return safely!”
The only thing Callum could do was to comfort her. “Don’t worry, William has already arranged for people to search for her. Since the kidnappers are after the money, they will definitely call us again. Let’s wait and see. Don’t worry, Emily. As long as the kidnappers let Azalea go, I won’t hesitate even if I need to sacrifice all of my assets.”
Callum and the Floyd family would never give up on Azalea. However, what Emily was worried about was not the ransom. She was afraid that Ornard’s subordinates were the ones that kidnapped Azalea. If that was the case, Ornard would definitely not let Azalea live.
“What if they don’t want the ransom?”
“That won’t be the case. If Ornard and Veronica were the culprits, they wouldn’t have informed us at all and they could have just killed Azalea silently. Why would they have to spend so much effort to inform us?”
Callum’s words made sense, and Emily felt a little relieved. Azalea would definitely be saved as long as the Labans were not behind this.
Callum was not sure even though he had comforted Emily because the kidnapper hadn’t called him yet. Did the kidnappers change their plan on the spur of the moment?
He called William anxiously and asked, “William, is there any news about Azalea?”
“Yes!”
“Where is she?” Callum asked happily.
“She’s outside the city. I’ve already arranged for someone to find her, so believe that there will be good news soon.”
“William, I’ll leave this matter to you! You must protect Azalea well. Thank you so much!”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely bring her back to the Floyd family unscathed.” After that, William hung up and listened to the news sent by his subordinate with a sneer on his face.
As expected, Paisley and Azalea were working together.
This woman had really extended her influence to anywhere she could think of.
She even kidnapped Azalea after she took advantage of the latter. What was her motive?
Fandrey had rushed over just as he was deep in thought. “William, are you sure you have Azalea’s information?”
“Yes! I’m very sure that Azalea has been found and her life is not in danger.”
When Fandrey saw William’s calm expression, he took out the video he received and handed it over. “I received a video from the kidnappers. They are too cruel. They tortured Azalea and cut off her finger. The video is so violent that I didn’t dare to show it to your grandmother, so I came here to discuss it with you first.”
William glanced at the video of Azalea being tortured and said with a cold expression, “Grandpa, did they make other demands after ending you the video?”
“Yes! They also asked me to prepare 200 million dollars in two hours. Otherwise, he will kill Azalea.”
“Haha! 200 million dollars? They’re really greedy. Is Azalea really worth that much? I’m pretty sure she isn’t even worth a penny?”
Fandrey was stunned when he heard William’s words and he looked at the latter for a while. William was so calm that he was almost indifferent. Fandrey felt uneasy because he wasn’t used to seeing William like this, but he soon got an answer. “William, could it be that Azalea isn’t part of our family after all?”
“Yes.”
“What’s going on? Why did Emily say that Azalea is her and Callum’s child?”
“Emily only knew that Madelyn wanted to exchange her daughter, but she didn’t know that her child had already been swapped before that.”
“This… you mean someone changed your uncle’s child before Madelyn? Who was the culprit and where is your uncle’s child now?”
William did not intend to hide the truth when he heard Fandrey’s continuous questions. “Lucian, who was my mother-in-law’s close friend, changed uncle’s child in advance. She had a relationship with Ornard’s subordinate, Gurmisran, at that time and she knew about the plan to swap their daughters. Lucian wanted to threaten Ornard after she swapped the children as leverage, but she accidentally saved my cousin’s life. My cousin is living well now and she is Lucian’s adopted daughter, Braelynn!”
“What? My granddaughter is Braelynn?” Fandrey was stunned. “William, are you lying to me? I’m getting old and I can no longer bear such a heavy blow!”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ve already confirmed that Braelynn is the eldest daughter of the Floyd family.”
“Why didn’t you tell us earlier?” Fandrey complained.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, but I had to prove something. Ornard relaxed his vigilance because he thought that the eldest daughter of the Floyd family had disappeared a long time ago. If he knew Braelynn’s identity, he would definitely try to eliminate her desperately. I’m afraid that something might go awry. I’m worried about Braelynn’s safety and I want to keep tabs on Ornard’s plan. That was why I didn’t tell you about this.”
“I know that you’re worried, but you should’ve informed me on this. Can’t you trust me? I’m your grandfather!” Fandrey’s worry and anxiety were replaced by joy. “It’s actually Braelynn! I’ve never even dreamed that Braelynn would be the granddaughter of the Floyd family. She’s so smart, capable, and she’s so different from Azalea and Angel. Fate is really on our side this time!”
When William saw the joy on Fandrey’s face, he reminded, “Grandpa, we can’t reveal Braelynn’s identity for the time being. After all, we haven’t dealt with Ornard yet.”
“I know, I won’t tell anyone!” Fandrey felt extremely guilty when he thought of all the things that had happened to Braelynn before. “William, can I meet Braelynn and reconcile with her? I don’t want her to continue to be wronged like this.”
“Yes, but I have to arrange it. Braelynn still doesn’t know her identity. so I have to discuss it with her first.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for your news!” Fandrey nodded and immediately asked William when he thought of the two impostors.
“What are you going to do with both of the impostors? Do you have other plans to expose their identities?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Can you tell me about it?”
“I’ll tell you in a few days, but let’s deal with Azalea first. She wants to be the heiress of the Floyd family so much, so why don’t I let her live out her fantasy for a few days?”
William sent a message to Bobby, “Make sure Azalea and the kidnappers are in place. Then, ask Silas to leave immediately while I arrange for the police to find them.”
“Got it. I’ll inform Silas right away.”
