Callum went straight back to the company after leaving Angel’s ward. He went to Fandrey’s office to talk about Angel’s matter, but he found that Fandrey was not there when he opened the door.
Callum then returned to his office and called Fandrey after he closed the door. “Dad, I’m back from the hospital!”
“Oh,” said Fandrey. “I was just about to call you, but I didn’t expect you to be back. By the way, what did that impostor tell you?”
“She wants us to be her backup and successfully carry out her schemes. She even shamelessly asked me to help her marry Richard after I reprimanded her.”
Fandrey chuckled. “She’s so shameless! How are you going to deal with her?”
“I refused her request directly and told her sternly that she must get rid of the child. Otherwise, she’ll be kicked out of the Floyd family.”
“Well done! William just told me this as well. Angel is determined to marry Richard by using her child as leverage. In order to prevent her from continuing to stay in the Floyd family, we should kick her out and let her own father help her. All you have to do is to play along with the act and we don’t have to worry about anything.”
“Dad, I don’t think she will be so willing. Since they have planned all this, they must have other means.”
“There’s always a way out. Since we already know the inside story, Ornard will definitely lose this time and he won’t be able to turn the tide no matter how hard he tries. Let’s just wait and see!”
Meanwhile, Richard was in his office as he leaned against his chair and held his phone on his desk with a gentle smile on his face. He said, “So you’ve earned a hundred-million-dollar house today?”
Braelynn, who was on the other end of the phone, was not very happy. “What are you talking about? Do I look like I’m doing business now? I don’t want any profits!”
“Why are you being so aggressive? Tsk, tsk! I was just teasing you. Why do you have to be so angry?”
“I’m in a very bad mood!” Braelynn emphasized.
“Alright, I’ll come and keep you company tonight! Why don’t I go over right now?”
“I still have to attend a meeting and I don’t have time to entertain you!” Braelynn refused.
“Then I’ll come over at night. I’ll arrange a place for dinner first before we go to the hot spring. It’s the one you’re interested in.”
“I’m not going! Why should we go to a hot spring? Richard, I know what you’re up to!”
“What can I do to you? I’m just trying to comfort you. Besides, don’t you know how I feel about you?”
“I don’t! How can I believe that someone like you can have those kind of feelings?”
“I’m telling you again that I like you very much. I want to be with you for the rest of my life and I’ve given my whole heart to you. Every night I…”
“Stop! I don’t listen to your cringy words! Can’t you speak normally?!” Braelynn’s ears were hot and her heart was beating so fast that she interrupted Richard immediately out of fear.
“I’m not joking. It’s true that I like you and I really want to marry you. I also want to have a baby with you!”
“Richard, you bastard, do you have a death wish?” Braelynn raised her voice.
“Why are you so angry when I’m just telling the truth? I guarantee that you can’t find a man who loves you as much as me! I’m sure I love you the most in this world, so let’s have a baby together!”
The door was pushed open as soon as Richard finished speaking and Helen stood at the door while she stared at him. “Who are you going to have a baby with?”
Richard covered his phone and smiled awkwardly. “Mom, why are you here?”
On the other end of the line, Braelynn was stunned for a second when she heard Richard call his mom and she immediately hung up. Helen’s gaze fell on Richard for a few seconds before she then closed the door and strode over. “Who are you calling?”
“No one!”
“What? I stood at the door for a while and I heard your conversation clearly. Didn’t you just express your love for her and that you want to have a baby with her?” Helen sneered and put her hand on the desk in front of Richard.
Richard was extremely embarrassed. “Mom, you’re already so old, but why are you doing these outrageous things? You actually eavesdropped on my conversation. Isn’t that too much?”
“Nonsense! This is nothing compared to what you’ve done.” Helen looked at Richard with a cold face. “You haven’t told me who you just called. Tell me right now!”
“What’s there to say? It’s my personal matters.”
“What? I don’t usually ask about you when you play around, but getting married and having children isn’t a private affair. I wanted to ask you if you know about Angel.”
Richard frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Meadow called me and told me that Angel was pregnant with your child just now, but I didn’t quite believe what her. I asked Azalea after that and she confirmed that Angel was pregnant with your child. Don’t you need to give me an explanation for this?”
“Haha!” Richard sneered. “Mom, you don’t have to worry about this. I know what I’m doing.”
“How can I not worry? You have to tell me clearly. Is Angel pregnant or not and is the child yours?”
“I don’t know if she is really pregnant, but the child is definitely not mine!”
Helen didn’t quite believe it. “Are you sure?”
“Of course, how can I touch such a disgusting person like Angel? Isn’t this a joke?”
Helen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the disgust on Richard’s face, but she felt a little disappointed at the same time. She thought that Angel was really pregnant with Richard’s child. She didn’t have any feelings towards Angel, nor did she treat the latter differently because she was the daughter of the Floyd family. However, it would be different if Angel was really pregnant with Richard’s child.
She could let Richard settle down and get married so that she could have a grandchild. She didn’t expect that Richard would directly deny it.
Besides, Helen said earnestly, “Richard, since this matter has been exposed, there must be someone behind it. Meadow is completely insignificant, so how could she suddenly spread such news? I feel there’s something strange about this.”
“What’s wrong? Mom, don’t worry. Dad and I will handle the affairs outside, so you can rest assured.”
“I don’t want to worry about it, but I just feel that there’s someone behind this. How can Angel lie and say that she’s pregnant with your child? There must be a reason behind it, right? You are William’s friend and Angel is the heiress of the Floyd family as well as William’s cousin. This won’t affect your relationship with William, right?”
“Don’t worry. My friendship with Richard can definitely withstand this. ” Richard stood up with a smile and pulled Helen to sit down. “Don’t pay attention to this matter no matter what others say to you. I’ll settle everything and you just have to believe that I’ll handle it well!”
Helen had complete trust Richard all these years, so she let the matter go when Richard denied it and he did not take Angel’s pregnancy seriously. She got up and left after sitting in Richard’s office for a while.
