William could understand Lamont’s astonishment. “I’ve already confirmed this. There’s no doubt that Braelynn is the eldest daughter of the Floyd family.”
Since William said that he had verified it, then it was true. Lamont stopped his doubts and said, “William, if Braelynn is the heiress of the Floyd family, then what about Angel?”
“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you simply that Angel is not the daughter of the Floyd family. Someone exchanged the babies in the hospital. Braelynn was saved by Lucian, and Angel is actually Ornard’s daughter.”
William’s simple explanation was enough for Lamont to get it. As he was a smart guy, he immediately thought of Ornard’s main goal. “The reason why Ornard did this is for the wealth of the Floyd family, right?”
“Yes!”
“That’s despicable! He’s gone out of his mind! We can’t let him off the hook just like that!”
“Don’t worry, as he won’t get away with it. We have already prepared to teach him a lesson. Our goal today is to tell you about Braelynn. She is the daughter of the Floyd family, and the only blood and flesh of the family. She will need to go back sooner or later. You are her adopted father, yet you treated her like your own daughter. My grandfather would like to thank you in person, and also talk about her future.”
“Well… I didn’t do anything. I really like her when I raise her, and it has nothing to do with whether she’s a daughter of the Floyd family. Therefore, there’s no need for any gratification. What I’m worried about is if Braelynn would be able to accept her own identity. She’s a stubborn girl, and it would take some time to let her absorb this.”
Lamont was a reasonable person, and William had already known it. “No matter what, my grandfather still wants to express his gratitude to you in person.”
Fandrey immediately continued, “Me, Callum and my wife are very grateful toward you. You did a huge favour for the Floyd family for raising Braelynn, and even making sure that she is such an amazing girl!”
“That’s all because of her own competency and talent, not me. Also, I’m grateful that Braelynn is by my side for so many years. She filled up the emptiness and loneliness in me. To be honest, I did try to look for her real parents, but to no avail. Turns out she is the heiress of the Floyd family. God is fair, huh. I’m happy she found her biological parents.”
Lamont’s understanding touched Fandrey. He thought that Lamont would say something unpleasant and make things difficult for him, but nothing that he imagined occured.
Fandrey’s good impression of Lamont increased. “Thank you for being so reasonable. Today, I came to see you with William not only to thank you in person, but also to tell you some things. You raised Braelynn like your own daughter, and to her, you are her real father. Even if she goes back to the Floyd family in the future, this fact still remains. You will always be her father and nothing will ever change the relationship between the two of you.”
Lamont nodded. “Does Braelynn know who she is already? Do I need to do anything?”
“I’ve already told her, and she couldn’t quite accept it. Grandpa wants to reconcile with her, but she can’t take it. Grandpa will handle it, though. Now, there’s another issue about Ornard. He let his daughter stay in the Floyd family for so long as a fake, so he won’t be willing to accept defeat. The only way to ensure Braelynn’s safety is to get rid of Ornard. Not many people of the family know of her identity yet, even my uncle and grandmother don’t know too. I hope you can keep this a secret.”
Lamont promised and said, “Don’t worry, William. If you don’t announce it, I will keep it to myself.”
“There’s one more thing. I bought a house for Braelynn, and she will soon move there. For her safety, William and I have arranged several bodyguards to protect her, but I’m still not completely assured. I hope you can move over and take care of her.”
“No problem!” Lamont agreed.
After being asked by Ornard on the phone, Paisley knew that something was wrong. Ornard agreed to marry her because she could settle the company’s issue. Now that she had no ability to take over the Acma Corporation, Ornard would definitely now allow her to be his wife anymore.
Was she going to get dumped just right after she got married?
This was too embarrassing. Paisley would not allow such a thing to happen.
The most important thing for her now was to make sure Ornard couldn’t touch her. After a long time of consideration, she thought of Angel.
Angel was not the daughter of the Floyd family and she only found out recently. Did Ornard know about this too?
Otherwise, why would Ornard and Veronica treat an illegitimate child of Callum so nicely?
Thinking of the similar ways of how Angel and Ornard did things, and their alike facial structure, Paisley started to wonder about the question she had in her mind previously.
Could it be that Angel and Ornard had a secretive relationship?
If Ornard was in the country now, she would want him and Angel to have a DNA test. But now that Ornard was overseas, it was even harder to get the sample from him. This plan was not easy.
Thinking of Ornard’s identification samples, Paisley suddenly thought of the villa that Ornard and her used to fool around in. That villa had never been touched since Ornard was taught a lesson last time. She and Ornard had spent a lot of time on the bed in the villa’s master bedroom. Would there be any hair of Ornard in the bed?
Thinking of this, Paisley got excited. She had to go to the previous villa to check out for herself.
Paisley sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night and sneaked into Ornard’s previously rented villa.
The villa that Ornard had rented was very close to Paisley’s villa. She got the password when she was fooling around with Ornard last time. Paisley walked to the door of the villa and tried the password, and she got in easily as it was not changed.
The messed up scene here still remained the same as when Ornard was being beaten that day. Paisley didn’t care and rushed right to the master bedroom. She got dozen strands of her and left.
When she returned to her own house, she ran into Pierre. He got out of the car and saw Paisley. “Yo, you went to another man?”
“Bullshit! Why don’t you just die!” Paisley and Pierre had long since fallen out, and she swore without giving in.
Pierre sneered and said, “Look at you, you don’t look like a rich lady at all. You’re just like a shrew from the marketplace. I don’t wanna live under the same roof as you. I’ll give you an hour for you to move out immediately!”
