Chapter 1233 Rumours

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

Angel became even angrier after she went back to her ward because she couldn’t fathom what the hell was going on.
She was the heiress of the Floyd family and Callum’s daughter. Why did Callum disregard her completely and choose to guard the door of Azalea’s ward?
Emily had always been indifferent to Angel, who was her daughter. Was she out of her mind?
Angel was in a terrible mood and she wanted to complain to someone. Callum ignored her and Fandrey wouldn’t tolerate her as well. The only person she could complain about was Deborah. Angel immediately called her grandmother, but the call couldn’t be connected and she couldn’t complain at all.
Angel had no choice but to accept it and call Ornard. She immediately cried after her call was answered, “Uncle, my dad has gone too far!”
“What happened?” Ornard’s voice was very kind and she felt as though he was the only one who treated her like family. She immediately complained, “They don’t care about me, but they care so much about that bitch. This is so annoying. Who do they think I am?”
“Don’t be angry! You’re pregnant now, so it’s not good for your child if you get angry!” Ornard comforted her in a soft voice.
“Uncle, won’t you be angry if such a thing happens to you? That bitch is stealing away everyone around me and she’s trying to take my place. What’s more, that bitch, Azalea, actually stared at me gloatingly when my dad scolded me just now! I really want to beat her up! Uncle, I can’t stand it anymore. You’d better arrange for someone to help me deal with Azalea!”
“Angel, it’s not the right time now. Azalea has just been brought back after she was kidnapped, so we have to wait for a while. Our plan will surely fail if we target her at this time. She will be very passive after the accident.” Ornard persuaded patiently.
“That’s really easy for her! I was supposed to be in a good mood when I was pregnant, but I keep getting angry at them. I’m afraid that my baby will be disabled.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Ornard’s tone changed. “Angel, your temper has been getting worse recently. Why do you always hit people when you’re angry? I haven’t even lectured you about what happened to Paisley, but you’re thinking about hurting Azalea again. How can this go on?”
“Did Paisley complain to you? Haha! That bitch is fucking evil!” Angel scolded fiercely. “I kept having terrible luck since the day I met that both, Paisley. Nont only did she rob me of the construction project, but she even caused my status in my family to decline sharply. My luck has gotten worse since I took over the role in the company and I can’t do anything smoothly. That bitch must be my natural nemesis. I have to find a way to kill her.”
“Nonsense!” Ornard finally couldn’t bear it anymore and scolded Angel. “Why is it Paisley’s fault if your father and grandfather don’t like you? Isn’t it because you’re so impulsive? You’re already in your 20s, so why are you still so ignorant? How can you take over the company if you’re so willful?”
Angel did not think that Ornard was doing this for her good at all when he scolded her. She just thought that he was scolding her for Paisley’s sake, so she gritted her teeth and angrily smashed the phone.
Ornard was livid Angel hung up because her waywardness was beyond his imagination. He dialled Gurmisran’s number and said, “Keep an eye on Angel and don’t let her do anything bad.”
Gurmisran smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Laban, how can she listen to me if she doesn’t even listen to you?”
Ornard knew that Gurmisran was telling the truth, so he sighed and said, “It’s all Veronica’s fault. She spoiled Angel so much that she became like this. I hoped that she could take over the company in the future, but it seems impossible now!”
Gurmisran comforted him. “Mr. Laban, don’t be discouraged. Even if the young lady can’t bear the responsibility, you still have your son. You just have to train him well!”
Ornard felt much better after Gurmisran mentioned this. “I want to teach him, but he is still so young and I don’t know what he’ll be like when he grows up.”
Ornard sounded a little dejected, so Gurmisran pondered for a moment and said, “Why don’t you find a way to take raise your son and educate him from when he’s a child?”
“I want to do that, but I have to get through Veronica and Paisley, right? I won’t be at ease if I don’t deal with them well!”
Gurmisran knew Ornard’s concerns. “It’s not a big deal to deal with them. The main problem now is to deal with William. We need to let the Floyd and the Clark Family know about Miss Angel’s pregnancy as soon as possible.”
“I know. Leave it to Paisley.”
Gurmisran asked when Paisely was mentioned, “Mr. Laban, has Paisley dealt with the city construction project?”
“I think so, I’ll call her when I’m free.” Ornard was very concerned about Gurmisran’s proposal to raise Angel’s son. “I think your proposal is feasible. How about this? I have to recruit servants for my villa soon, right? Ask Aurora to take the baby here and tell the public that they’re your relatives.”
“Okay!” Gurmisran agreed.
Ornard let out a sigh of relief and called Aurora after he hung up. “I’ll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. You can bring our son and move into the house today.”
Aurora said in a delicate voice, “Dear, will I cause you any trouble like this?”
“No, I’ve told Gurmisran to let you and Santhos pretend to be his relatives and move in first.”
“I’m just worried that Veronica will see through me. You’d better think it over before making a decision. What if she does something bad when she finds out their identities? I’m worried about Santhos’s safety.”
“She won’t know! Besides, they’re in my house. Why are you afraid of her? Just move in, I’m sure that nothing will happen.”
Aurora no longer refused after she heard that. “Dear, I heard that Veronica is seriously ill. Do you know about this?”
“When did this happen?”
“She was in the hospital today. You can’t ignore her when she’s so sick, so you should go and visit her.”
“Okay, I got it. I’ll go and check on her right now.”
Veronica suddenly fainted after she vomited blood and was sent to the hospital. The doctor checked her with various instruments but found nothing serious. She could only be sent to the ward for an IV drip as they waited for her to wake up.
After Veronica had been given a dosage of IV drip, Ornard was pushed into her ward by the bodyguards. He called out with a worried face when he saw Veronica sleeping on the bed, “Veronica, wake up!”
Veronica, whose eyes were closed, suddenly tilted her head and screamed, “Get lost!” As she shouted, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ornard across the face.
