Fandrey had already expected that Veronica would not agree to the divorce. Callum had told him about it after hearing from the lawyer regarding Veronica’s reaction.
“Dad, Veronica refused to sign the divorce agreement. She wants to meet with me instead. What the hell is she up to?”
Fandrey sneered and said, “Veronica is well aware that there is no way out since things have already turned out like this. She insists on getting ahold of you as she intends to negotiate more benefits for herself. She has assumed that you are unaware of the despicable things that she has done as you are a gentle person. She reckons that it would be a piece of cake to obtain some alimony payment from you.”
Callum couldn’t help but chuckle when hearing from Fandrey that Veronica wanted financial assistance from him. “I’m afraid that she will be disappointed then. I would not mind giving her some compensation fee just to get her out of my sight if she did not do those ridiculous things. However, it would be bonkers for her to be hopeful in receiving any alimony payment from me.”
Fandrey nodded and said, “I share the same opinion with you. Callum, you need not waste time on her since our relationship with her has gone sour.”
“Dad, what are you implying?”
“Instruct the butler in telling Veronica to get lost!” Fandrey stroked his beard and elaborated further, “The legal owners of the villa are me and your mother. How could Veronica, an outsider, reside in our property?”
Fandrey was intending to drive Veronica out of the Floyd family. Callum was on the same boat with him and said, “It should be an easy task to get her ass out of the house. However, we may face a little hiccup during the divorce process. We may need to bring the case to court in putting an end to it if she still insists on not signing the document. The court settlement may take a long time to be resolved.”
“William has already come up with a way to deal with this matter. We may still be unaware that Veronica and Ornard, that jerks have hooked up with each other if it wasn’t for William’s assistance.”
Callum was taken aback upon hearing about it. “How is that possible? Aren’t they…”
“Nope! Veronica is the adopted daughter of the Laban family. She is not related with Ornard by blood,” Fandrey interrupted him.
“She was adopted? Does this mean that the Laban family has deceived you from the very beginning? They did such a ridiculous thing just to make the marriage happen. Isn’t the Laban family too shameless?”
“You are absolutely right. I have promised Danny for the arranged marriage as we were very friendly with each other. Their child did not make it during Kayla’s birthing process. Danny then randomly adopted a baby girl in pretending to be the daughter of the Floyd family as he was worried that the promised marriage would be called off.”
Fandrey smiled bitterly and said, “Danny may just want to strengthen the relationship with the Floyd family for business purposes. However, Ornard has clearly outperformed his father. He is targeting the wealth of the Floyd family apart from merely being our business partner. He had taken advantage of Veronica long ago to make his plan come true.”
“Are you telling me that Angel is the child of Veronica and Ornard?” Callum immediately asked.
Fandrey shook his head and said, “Nope! Angel’s mother is one of the lovers of Ornard. He refused to get married in an attempt in coaxing Veronica to be loyal to him. His personal life is actually a mess as he had many secret lovers. Angel happened to be the child of one of his many girlfriends. Emily was coincidentally pregnant at that time and Ornard swiftly came up with an idea. He framed Emily and spared the life of her child but then replaced the legitimate daughter of the Floyd family with Angel. She was then able to become part of the family members of the Floyd family. Veronica assumed that Angel was just a child that Ornard had randomly adopted. She was not aware that Angel was the biological daughter of Ornard.”
Callum was furious upon hearing the shameless behavior of Ornard and said, “Should we reveal the identity of Angel to Veronica as she is still unaware of the truth? We can then sit back and watch her fighting against Ornard, right?”
Fandrey shook his head and said, “Angel’s identity should continue to be kept a secret for the time being. William is still hoping that Veronica can give Ornard a surprise after the birth of Gurmisran’s child. You need not worry regarding Veronica and Ornard, those jerks who would be fighting among themselves. An interesting show would be happening real soon.”
“What did you plan with William this time?” Callum desperately wanted to know what would happen next.
“William is the mastermind behind this and to be honest, I did not help much at all. William just instructed someone to find out the reason why Veronica is infertile after the miscarriage.”
“Is this an indication that there is a change of event regarding the miscarriage? Is he trying to find evidence that Veronica had lied about her infertility?” Callum was taken aback.
“Nope! It is a fact that Veronica could no longer give birth after that miscarriage. She had insisted that you were the father of the child when she got pregnant at that time. The relationship between you and Emily gradually turned sour because of this. However, the child did not make it till the end. Emily was being blamed as the culprit who had messed with Veronica judging by the evidence that was being gathered at that time. We are now only aware that Emily is the innocent one. The entire tragedy was all part of Ornard’s plan.”
Fandrey sighed and said, “Ornard chose to hook up with Veronica as he just wanted to take advantage of her. It was out of his plan when Veronica was expecting a baby. He began to plan his vicious scheme of shooting three birds with one stone upon knowing that Veronica was pregnant. He then came up with an idea to lay a finger on Veronica at the horse stable. His purpose was to force you in breaking up with Emily and let Veronica be part of our family.”
“Isn’t he too ruthless? How could he do this to his own child?”
“Haha, Ornard had decided to go all-out just to achieve his ulterior motives. He is clearly an evil person. He even bribed the doctor to remove Veronica’s uterus and fallopian tube when she was confirmed to have a miscarriage. He did this just to kill the dreams of Veronica in having no choice but to be loyal towards him.”
Fandrey caught a breather and continued speaking, “Ornard planned to kill three birds with one stone and these events were intertwined with each other. Veronica despises Emily to the core as she still thinks that Emily is the culprit of her tragedy. Little did Veronica know that the actual murderer was Ornard all along.”
“What a ruthless scheme! I have no idea how would Veronica react if she gets to know that Ornard is the mastermind behind this!”
“One should believe in karma. I do not feel pity for her to have a bad ending as she had assisted Ornard in doing countless despicable things.” Fandrey sneered and continued speaking, “We need to think of a way in telling Veronica the truth about her miscarriage after getting rid of her from our family. She needs to be informed of the real personality of Ornard. We need to let her be aware that Ornard was the reason that she was unable to become a mother forever. She will definitely do something earth-shattering upon hearing about these explanations.”
Callum understood what Fandrey had meant and said, “I shall contact the butler right now and demand Veronica gets lost!”
Veronica was currently awaiting the reply of Callum after disagreeing to sign the divorce papers and insisted on seeing him. She was confident that Callum would eventually agree in meeting up with her after thinking it through.
It was absolutely ridiculous to divorce Callum. The only thing that she could currently do was to prioritize herself.
Veronica had always been an arrogant and self-centered person. She needed to take everything into consideration in order to have a comfortable life in the future. The Floyd family owned a lot of properties, and Callum was a generous and soft-hearted person. It would be wise for her to demand at least one billion of alimony payment from him, wouldn’t it?
She was able to purchase a large villa if she really obtained a billion of alimony payment. She was then able to live as an upper-class lady and continued to act as a cultured person in a materialistic way.
Veronica no longer cared whether Ornard was still deeming her as his partner. She would be able to find some young and attractive guys to hang out with after getting rid of the illegitimate child of Ornard.
Veronica was lost in her wishful thoughts when someone had suddenly knocked on the door.
She got up and opened the door. It was seen that the butler had brought along two bodyguards with him.
“What’s the matter?” Veronica asked.
The housekeeper said with a stern look, “Veronica, I am following orders as per the instruction of Mr. Floyd. Kindly please move out of the Floyd family’s villa immediately!”
