Chapter 1230 Live Well

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Deborah answered the phone and asked, “Callum, did Azalea wake up?”
Callum replied gloomily, “Yes!”
“It’s good that she has woken up! I have been worried about her. How is she now? She must be frightened after being treated that way.”
“Yes, she was scared out of her wits. She shouted as soon as she woke up and she kept crying” When Callum mentioned this, he thought of Azalea’s face full of snot and felt sick.
“Poor child, she must be traumatized. You should arrange for someone to find a good psychologist to give her some therapy.”
“Okay!”
“I asked the staff to make some nourishing soup and I’ll bring it to her right away.”
Callum immediately stopped her. “Mom, you’re not in good health. Just ask Auntie to send it over, you don’t have to come.”
“Why not? She’s part of the Floyd family and she has been wandering outside by herself for so many years. She has suffered so much. What is Emily thinking? Why is she so cruel?” Deborah began to complain about Emily.
“Everyone wants their children to live a good life. When she knew that Madelyn is going to do such a heartless thing, she didn’t even stop it and she was even an accomplice. Azalea had to live outside for so many years…”
Callum felt impatient when he heard Deborah complaining about Emily. He interrupted Deborah angrily, “Why are you talking about this now?  Would Emily be like this if you and Dad didn’t oppose us being together?”
“Why are you still helping her? She even said that she wanted to take revenge on us. Can’t you see it through now?” Deborah’s hatred for Emily did not decrease at all. On the contrary, her hatred increased even more because of what happened with Angel and Azalea.
She got even angrier when she heard Callum defending Emily, “Let me tell you, she is completely different from Azalea and I won’t change my mind about her!”
“That’s enough! It’s up to you if you don’t change your mind! Do you have anything else you want to say? I’m hanging up!”
“I knew you were like this. You used to disobey your father and me for that woman, but you’re still like this now. Let me tell you,  I will never let Emily enter our house even if you divorce Veronica. I won’t change my mind even if Azalea is here!”
“She doesn’t want to be part of our family as well. Don’t think that the Floyd family is so noble. It means nothing to Emily!” Callum hung up the phone angrily.
He took out a cigarette irritably after putting away his phone, but the phone rang again after he put it out. Callum glanced at the number and saw that it was from the butler from his foreign villa. He picked it up and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Floyd, Madam is sick!”
“Why did you call me instead of sending her to the hospital? Am I a doctor?” Callum was not in a good mood.
The housekeeper was a little confused. Callum had always been polite to Veronica and he did not show any impatience. Fandrey and Deborah also had a very good attitude toward Veronica, which led the housekeeper to think that she had a good position in the Floyd family. Therefore, he immediately reported it to Callum when Veronica fell sick.
Callum’s was completely vile and the butler said anxiously, “I… I saw that Madam’s condition wasn’t very good. Recently, she didn’t care about her diet at all and her health is getting worse. She fainted all of a sudden today and I was worried that something would happen. Mr. Floyd, you…”
“What are you talking about? Why didn’t you send her to the doctor immediately? I’m telling you, she must live! I’ll hold you accountable if something happens to her!” Callum’s tone was fierce. Veronica had caused countless accidents in the family, so how could anything happen to someone as vicious as her?
Of course, Callum didn’t want anything to happen to Veronica now. She and her daughter had done so many evil things. It would be too easy on her if she died like this. She’d better live well because he was still waiting to get even with her!
Paisley used her foreign account to send a video to Fandrey and waited for the reply from the Floyd family.
Two hours passed in a flash, but there was no movement from the Floyd family.
Instead, the person she had spent a lot of money to hire had sent her a message. “I just got the news that my men have been arrested by the police and the hostages have been rescued.”
Paisley sighed heavily when she saw the message sent by the other party. She thought that he could use Azalea to extort some money from the Floyd family, but she didn’t expect her plan to fail again.
She replied, “You didn’t leave behind any evidence, right? Will your men expose me?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. This is not the first time we’ve done such a thing. This matter will be over after my two men are jailed. But Ms. Anthony, I’ve lost two of my men because of you and I don’t have time to do business for the time being. I’m running out of funds these days. Can you help me?”
The other party was asking for money. Paisley was a little angry, but she thought that she still had to hire him again in the future because there was no one she could use. She couldn’t be fall out with him, so she suppressed her anger and replied, “I will give you another sum of money!”
“Thank you, Ms. Anthony! You’re a good partner. If you need anything in the future, just come to me and I’ll help you.”
Paisley snorted and threw her phone on the desk. She then started to circle around the office in frustration.
It was beyond her expectations that an impostor like Azalea would be saved so quickly. She had wanted to use Azalea to extort some money from the Floyd family, but her plan had backfired now that Azalea had been rescued.
Danya called her just as she was deep in thought. “Miss, Azalea is in the hospital now and the Floyd family has been guarding her. I went to check on her and saw that Callum and a woman have been accompanying her in the ward. Azalea woke up just now and made a complete ruckus as she cried and shouted.”
Callum was personally guarding the ward, so it was obvious that he had confirmed Azalea’s identity. It seemed that the Floyd family did not doubt Azalea’s identity because of Emily. Her plan had failed all because Emily had confirmed that Azalea was her daughter.
Paisley sneered. “Isn’t the Floyd family too pathetic? They used to treat Angel as their own daughter, but now they treat Azalea the same way. How ridiculous!”
She ordered Danya, “Keep an eye on her. Tell me immediately if anything happens!”
“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on Azalea.” Danya agreed.
Paisley hung up and walked back to her desk to sit down. Then, she reached out and picked up the documents sent by her secretary and flipped through a few pages. Most of the documents delivered by the secretary were daily documents from the company and Paisley was not interested in them at all. Just as she was about to get the secretary to come in and take the documents away, she suddenly found that the document at the bottom was a document from the headquarters of Acma Corporation.
She looked up and immediately grabbed the document before she began to read it carefully.
