Hearing that Veronica was here, Aurora immediately got away from Ornard and carried Santhos with her.
Ornard called out to her and said, “You guys are gonna meet sooner or later, so just meet her today.”
“I… I’m a little scared of her!” An expression of fear appeared on Aurora’s face when she mentioned Veronica.
“Don’t be. I’m here! Just deal with her according to what I’ve taught you. She’s not God or anything, so she won’t know about us.”
Aurora was no longer afraid after hearing Ornard’s words. She carried Santhos and followed Ornard to the living room.
Veronica’s face was sallow, and it was obvious that she had just recovered from a serious illness. Ornard was sitting in a wheelchair. When he saw Veronica, his face was full of smiles. “Veronica, are you feeling okay?”
“Yep!” Veronica’s gaze lingered on Aurora and the baby in her arms. “This must be Ornard’s mistress and his illegitimate child,” she thought to herself hatefully. However, she smiled and asked, “Is this Gurmit’s relative?”
“Yep, I am. My name is Aurora Caison!” Aurora replied with a smile. Santhos then spoke up in a childish voice, “I’m Santhos! Nice to meet you, grandma!”
The word “Grandma” made Veronica’s face tensed up. Did she look so old? Aurora glared at Santhos and said, “Nope, you should greet her as Aunty instead!”
“Aunty? How could it be? She’s as old as grandma!”
Even though he was a child, Santhos’ word made Veronica’s face darken. She glanced coldly at Aurora and Santhos, then turned to Ornand and said, “Bro, I need to talk to you about something.”
Veronica’s temper was as hot as usual, and she had never been a person who knew how to cover her own emotions and pretend. Ornard was worried that Veronica would suspect Aurora and Santhos’ identity, but he was relieved after seeing how Veronica showed her dark face so openly.
Ornard knew that Veronica would definitely put up a scene if she knew that Aurora and Santhos was related to him. Ornard immediately nodded and said, “Okay, let’s talk in the study.”
They went to the study and closed the door. Veronica then said in a low voice, “Brother, the development of the company has failed! It’s impossible for you to take over it with the help of the Anthony family!”
Paisley hadn’t told Ornard about her fathers decision, so Ornard did not really believe her. “How do you know?”
“I found out from a close friend, she knew that I was sick and came to the hospital to visit me and told me about the Anthony family. She has a good relationship with Mrs. Anthony and I heard from her that Mr. Anthony was already aware of Paisley’s plot against Mr. Anthony. Mr. Anthony was very angry. Not only did he not take over the business, he also drove Paisley out of the family. Paisley is no longer the person in charge of the Anthony family’s business.”
“Seriously?” Ornard still didn’t quite believe it. Veronica then reminded him, “Why don’t you call Paisley yourself and ask him?”
This matter was of great importance, so Ornard was definitely anxious. He called Paisley in front of Veronica and when the call was answered, he asked, “What did your father say about the development of the company? What’s the progress now?”
Paisley snorted a few times. “I was about to tell you about this. My dad… he found out about our plan.”
Ornard still had a glimmer of hope when he made the call. He felt that there would not be any problem with Paisley and that everything was made up by Veronica. Paisley’s answer broke his faith, so he said, “Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing? Why did you hide it, huh? What’s your purpose?”
“I… I didn’t mean to hide this news. I was trying to find a way to save the situation recently. I thought I could!” Paisley explained.
“Save the situation? How are you gonna do that? Aren’t you driven out by your father? You don’t have any senior level position anymore! Tell me, how can you turn things back around?!”
Paisley remained silent. Ornard was so angry that he even smashed his phone.
Seeing that Ornard was furious, Veronica internally sneered but her face was full of concern. “Don’t be angry. You’re gonna harm your health if you do so. Let’s see if we can find a way to save this situation!”
“What else can I do? That bastard Paisley! How dare she lie to me! I’m gonna teach her a lesson!”
Looking at Ornard’s exasperated expression, Veronica was secretly delighted and thought, “That bitch Paisley is gonna get it!”
She had already experienced how vicious Ornard was and Veronica could already imagine what would happen to Paisley in the future. Paisley was no longer a threat to her. On the contrary, Aurora and that illegitimate child were her greatest threats. What she needed to do now was to find a way to get rid of Aurora and that illegitimate kid.
Lamont arrived at the private room of Wolf Group Hotel at B City half an hour earlier.
William suddenly invited him to dinner alone, which made Lamont a little uncertain. He had a feeling that William had something very important to tell him. But what would it be?
After sitting in the private room for about ten minutes, William and Fandrey finally came in one after the other.
Lamont thought that William was going to meet him alone. He was stunned when he saw Fandrey coming in, so he immediately got up and invited him to sit down politely.
Fandrey didn’t refuse. He sat down in the main seat and talked to Lamont with a smile.
“We haven’t seen each other for quite some time, right?”
“Yes.” Lamont nodded. “Are you okay these days?”
“Yeah, of course!” Fandrey smiled and handed the menu to Lamont. “You order for dinner today!”
“Me?” Lamont glanced at William subconsciously. He didn’t know what Fandrey liked and was afraid that he would order something he didn’t like. William smiled and replied, “I’ve already ordered. There’s no need to order from the menu again.”
While they were talking, the waiters entered the private room one by one and began to serve the dishes. The dishes ordered by William were all Wolf Group’s signature dishes. The three of them talked about some business matters while eating, which confused Lamont even more.
After dinner, the waiter cleaned up the private room and brought tea. William took a sip of tea and went straight to the point. “I called you here today to talk to you about Braelynn.”
“What’s wrong with her?” Lamont became nervous when he heard her name.
“Braelynn is fine, so you don’t have to worry. Grandpa and I came to you mainly to tell you about Braelynn’s background. We have found out about her background, along with her parents.”
“Um…” Over the years, Lamont had raised Braelynn as his own daughter. He had never thought that Braelynn would find her biological parents. He was completely unaccustomed to William’s words, and asked hesitantly, “Who are Braelynn’s biological parents?”
“Braelynn’s biological father is my uncle, and her mother is Emily!”
“How… how is this possible?” Lamont looked at Fandrey in shock. If Braelynn’s biological father was Callum, then Fandrey was Braelynn’s grandfather. That would also mean Braelynn was the eldest daughter of the Floyd family?
