Meanwhile, in B City, Paisley’s call finally got through her father. “Dad, I’m calling you to ask about the development of the company…”
“Didn’t I send you the summary about the meeting with the executives? What else do you have to ask when I’ve already signed the agreement to halt the project?” Henry asked.
“Dad, are you really going to give up on such a big project? This is the best opportunity and you won’t have another chance! You’d better think about it before making a decision.” Paisley tried to persuade him.
“I’ve already thought it through. The price of the products will not decline in the near future. In addition to that, the inflation will only make me suffer losses. I have never signed a deal that will make me lose money, so don’t mention the city construction project anymore!”
“This…” Paisley knew that there was no hope.
How should she explain this to Ornard? Her father added, “Paisley, I don’t think you’re suitable to run the company. Don’t get involved in the company’s affairs and I’ll arrange for someone to take over your work.”
Paisley was completely stunned. “What? Dad, what do you mean?”
Henry’s voice was very cold. “It means that you don’t have to work in the company from now on. Just be Mrs. Laban and live your own life!”
Paisley had a vague guess in her heart. Could it be that Henry knew that she was colluding with Ornard?
“Dad, why don’t you let me work? What did I do wrong? What will others think of me if you suddenly stop me from going to work?”
“You don’t have the ability to run a company at all!” Henry said bluntly, “I asked you to manage the company because you can get Ornard to invest and I agreed because I wanted to cooperate with Ornard. What did you and Ornard do in the end? Do you think I’m a fool who knows nothing about your thoughts and actions?”
Henry made it extremely clear that he knew about her schemes with Ornard to fool him.
Paisley felt a chill in her heart and she pretended to be confused. “Dad, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“It doesn’t matter. Just think about it after you resign! I know you hate me a lot for being unfair, and you resent me for mistreating you and Hardy. But no matter how much you hate me, I’m still your own father. I will never kill you, but Ornard is different.”
Henry emphasized, “Ornard is not a good person. I heard that he has a mistress and an illegitimate child outside. He has already taken them to his home, so you’d better take care of yourself in the future!”
“Who told you that? Are they trying to start a fight?” Paisley asked in disbelief.
“I have the information about that woman and his illegitimate child. You can have a look at it later. This is the last piece of advice I’m giving you as a father! I have been waiting for you to repent and change your mind, but you have never done it. I have been very kind to you, but you can live your own life in the future. I will pretend that you don’t exist in the Anthony family.”
He wanted to chase her out of the house and never see her again. Paisley knew very well why her father was so heartless, so she hung up the phone without saying a word.
Henry sent the information and photos of Ornard and Aurora after a few minutes. Paisley was dumbfounded when she saw how beautiful Aurora was with a son in her arms.
Meanwhile, in the Floyd family. Deborah, who was about to go out to see Azalea, was stopped at the door by a bodyguard and her face was full of anger. “Why don’t you let me go out? I don’t care about your orders!”
“Madam, this is Sir’s order and we need to obey him. You are not in good health, so you’d better go back to your room to rest!” The bodyguard persuaded in a kind voice.
“Damn it, that old geezer! I’ll call him right now!” Deborah naturally wouldn’t listen to a lowly bodyguard, so she walked back to her room and called Fandrey. She yelled angrily, “Hey, are you trying to imprison me!?”
Fandrey placed his phone further away when he heard Deborah’s loud voice. “Of course not. You are not in good health. You should rest at home to recover.”
“I’m fine. I want to see our granddaughter!”
“It’s not the right time now. I’ll let you see her in a few days,” Fandrey said slowly.
“Why not?”
“The Laban siblings have not been dealt with yet. You know how shameless and vicious they are. They’ll know that we’ve found out the truth if you visit Azalea now. Since Ornard and Veronica are so shameless, no one knows if they’ll hurt Azalea.”
Deborah felt that Fandrey’s words made sense. “Can I secretly take a look?”
“No! Just wait a little longer and I’ll let you see her. You can ask the servants to send food to show your sincerity. By the way, you should also put on an act with Angel to avoid arousing Ornard’s suspicion.”
“That damn impostor. I’m angry whenever I see her. I don’t want to put up an act with her!” She hated Angel immensely now and she was unwilling to visit Angel even if her life was threatened.
Fandrey shook his head and said, “Don’t you want to see the culprit being punished? Listen to me and visit Angel for formalities sake. If you don’t want to see her, ask the servants to send food to her. Just say that you’re sick.”
“Alright, then I’ll ask the servants to do that!” Deborah agreed.
Fandrey hung up and looked at Callum with a stern face. “You should understand what I mean when I asked you to come back from the hospital, right?”
“I understand! Isn’t it too cruel for us to be so cold to Emily and Azalea? I’ve let Emily and our daughter down for so many years. If we continue treating them like this, they won’t care about us anymore.”
“She’ll die if you continue getting close to her! I have no objections if you want to do that!” Fandrey’s expression was cold. Callum looked at his expression and felt a little upset. “Dad, do you and Mom still have any objections to Emily?”
“No!” Fandrey shook his head. He did not have a good impression of Emily, but he treated her with respect for the sake of Braelynn.
“Your mother and I were confused about what happened that year. We didn’t expect Ornard and Veronica to be so shameless and we didn’t want this to happen as well. Callum, I don’t mind if you want to be with Emily, but not now. You are not a child, so you should know the seriousness of the matter. If you want to reconcile with Emily, you have to deal with Ornard and Veronica first.”
“I got it. I’ll go to the hospital less often!” Callum promised.
Fandrey sighed and said, “Azalea’s matter is settled now. Other than that, I have an important thing to tell you about Angel. She is not Madelyn’s daughter after all, and Ornard is her father.”
