Ornard was annoyed because of Veronica. When he saw Angel’s message, he replied impatiently, “Now is not the time to act recklessly. You have to lay low and be patient. Don’t you know that suffering is inevitable in order to attain success?”
Angel was enraged. “Uncle, I can tolerate other people, but not Azalea! I’m telling you that I’m really upset now. I can’t eat anything and keep throwing up. It’s horrible. This kind of life is too much. If you don’t help me teach Azalea a lesson, I’ll undergo an abortion and go back to the Floyd family!”
Was Angel threatening him? What kind of stupid threat was this?
Green veins were popping out on Ornard’s temple. His patience for Angel vanished altogether. “Angel, don’t be stubborn now. I’m not omnipotent. I have a lot of things to deal with in my office and my family is in a mess now. By the way, there has been a rift between your mother and father. They are about to file for divorce. I don’t have time to deal with you. If you can’t settle your own affairs and want to continue with your childish behavior, just do whatever you wish.”
“Huh? My father and mother are going to file for divorce? When did this happen? What’s the reason? Is it because of Emily?” Angel was shocked when she saw the message, so she asked hastily.
“Who else could do this other than Emily?” Ornard sounded upset.
“Don’t my grandparents hate Emily to the core? Did they also agree to the divorce?”
“Things don’t always remain constant! Weren’t your grandparents fond of you back then? What about now? Do they still love you as much as before? I asked you to get close to Emily and your father, but what did you do? Not only did you not ask for her help, but you were also driven out of the house. You messed up a golden opportunity.”
“It’s all Emily’s fault. She didn’t care about me at all. She ignored me when I tried to butter her up. What else do you want me to do?”
“So have you not realized your mistake yet? Why is Emily fond of Azalea? Why does she hate you so much even though you’re her own daughter? Is it all her fault? You should reflect on yourself and spend time thinking about this!”
Ornard was exhausted. Angel didn’t look like someone who could achieve great things, so he had to remind her. “Angel, you’re not young anymore. No one will always back you up and protect you from the harshness of this world. You have to live on your own in the future. Even if you’re lucky enough to marry Richard, do you think you can stay in the Clark family for a long time with your current condition? You might as well give up now instead of being kicked out by the Clark family in the future.”
“I won’t give up, ever! I will marry Richard for sure!”
“In that case, change yourself from now on! You have to change your previous personality. If your father and Veronica get divorced, he will definitely marry Emily. In the future, you must be nice to Emily so that she will treat you well. Only in this way can you make your dreams come true. Angel, think about it carefully. Can you butter Emily up?”
“I can’t grovel to her. I get angry every I see that woman.” Angel thought of her earlier attempts to please Emily. The latter was being cold and indifferent to her. She always felt that it was not easy to please Emily.
“Angel, if Veronica and Callum are divorced, then you’re nobody to us. Emily and Callum are the only ones you can rely on. Think about it. You have to be on good terms with Emily! It’s because she is the one who can help you!”
Angel was freaking out. She had a feeling that Emily would not be nice to her. However, she still needed Ornard’s help for now. “Uncle, don’t you and my mom intend to help me in the future?”
“Of course, we will help you, but you have to stand on your own feet. Provide us with a reason to help. If you can’t even handle your own affairs, what’s the use of us helping you? Consider it carefully!”
Ornard ended the call. Angel still had a look of disbelief on her face as she held the phone.
The news that Callum and Veronica were going to file for divorce was a big shock to Angel. After the divorce, Veronica and Callum would have nothing to do with her. Ornard would not help her since she was a niece who was a nobody. Without Ornard and Veronica’s help, what else could she achieve?
So she had to suck up to Emily, right? The baby she was currently carrying was hated by everyone. Emily was no exception. If she wanted to contact Emily, she had to get rid of the baby. She was in a tough spot right now.
Michael heard the news that Wayne had been discharged from the hospital. The latter went to the office in the afternoon. Michael frowned when he heard that Wayne had gone straight to the office after leaving the hospital.
Was Wayne forced to go to the office after he rejected him?
Michael was worried about Wayne inexplicably. After all, Wayne was much more important to Michael than his parents.
Since he was a child, Wayne’s love for him had surpassed that of Stanty and Meadow. If Wayne’s health were to deteriorate because of the company’s matter, Michael would be at fault.
The more Michael thought about it, the more restless he became. He had to visit Wayne tonight.
He ordered his assistant, “Go buy some fruit and health supplements that Grandpa likes. I’ll go back to the house tonight.”
At eight o’clock at night, Michael’s car drove into the Davis family’s home. The servant heard the noise and quickly came out. When he saw Michael, his face was filled with joy. He said, “Michael is back!”
Michael nodded as he opened the trunk. As he took the gifts, he asked, “Is Grandpa home?”
The servant stepped forward and took the gifts from Michael. “He isn’t home yet.”
“It’s already eight o’clock, but he hasn’t come back yet?” Michael was deeply surprised.
“Yes, I heard that he went straight to the office after he was discharged from the hospital. He didn’t go home at all. Mr. Davis, are you here to see him? Would you like me to call and ask him?” As the servant and Michael were talking, they heard the sound of a car behind them. Michael turned his head around and saw Wayne’s car head his way.
He stood still as he waited for the car to stop. Then he stepped forward and opened the door. “Grandpa!”
“You’re here?” Wayne looked worn out.
“Have you had your meals?” Michael helped him to get out of the car.
“Not yet. Let’s head in.”
The duo walked in front, followed by the butler. They entered the living room of the house. A servant came up and said, “Dinner is ready. Will you have your meal now?”
“Yes, serve it now!” Wayne replied, “Come, have dinner with me!”
“Okay!” Michael went to the dining room with Wayne.
The two of them took their seats separately. The servants filled their plates with rice and soup.
Then they began to enjoy dinner. Michael had already had dinner, so he didn’t have much appetite. He simply had a little food and a bowl of soup since he was keeping Wayne company.
After dinner, the two of them went to the living room and sat there for a while. Michael and Wayne chitchatted randomly but they didn’t mention the company at all.
After talking for more than an hour, Michael was about to bid his goodbye when he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
After getting up, he couldn’t maintain his balance and had to sit down again.
