Chapter 1320 The Beginning

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Ornard was in a bad mood when he went to the company today because all of his cooperation with the Floyd family had been terminated. He didn’t know what the Floyd family had done, but several of his projects had also been stopped.
In addition to the project, there was no news of the bank loan which was agreed to be postponed. Ornard had known that the consequences of offending the Floyd family would be serious, but he didn’t expect it to be to this extent.
After a few hours of the meeting which didn’t end up with useful ideas, Ornard went back to his office in a mess. The secretary came in to send him the documents to be signed.
Ornard had always been smooth and fine in his business over the years, and he had never been forced by anyone before. Staring at the numbers in the document, he was so annoyed that he smashed the cup.
The secretary stood there silently, indifferent to Ornard’s anger. Ornard knew that his anger could not change anything, so he waved his hand to the secretary and said, “You can leave now. Come back two hours later.”
“Mr. Laban, this can’t wait for two hours and all these documents must be signed immediately. There are some that can wait, so I haven’t send them to you,” the secretary reminded.
Ornard was irritated, and he forcefully signed on the documents. The secretary then left the office.
Ornard took a deep breath. This was just the beginning!
The revenge for the Floyd family had just begun, and he was already tired of dealing with it. It was all because of the incompetent Veronica. Ornard thought angrily, “If Veronica had known about the Floyd family’s attitude on the issue earlier, he wouldn’t have been so stupid.”
Ornard put all the blame on Veronica, but he forgot that it was all caused by his own behaviors.
He blamed Veronica for not being able to change anything and now he had no way out. Ornard dialed Gurmisran’s number and said, “Give me all the money of our companies. I’m in urgent need of it.”
“All?” Gurmisran asked.
“Yes! Don’t keep a penny as I’m very short of money now. The Floyd family is too cruel! They are not giving me any way out at all!”
“How can the Floyd family be so heartless? It shouldn’t be like this. We’ve calculated the loss of the Floyd family and our side, haven’t we? Even if they take action to deal with us, they shouldn’t have let us fall into such a situation.” Gurmisran was in disbelief.
“It’s not just the Floyd family. I guess William has also taken action. His power and domain is unimaginable.” It was impossible for the Floyd family to cut off Ornard’s retreat so quickly, so it must be William who joined.
Ornard sighed. “If William wasn’t in this case, we would have been attacked a little but it would still be bearable with backup. But since he is here, everything is different! The company would be in trouble!”
Ornard was a little regretful. If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to attack. He would have remained more discreet for a long time, but it was useless to cry over spilled milk now.
“By the way, after you transfer capital to me through that account, try to apply for bankruptcy.”
Gurmisran was silent for a while before he said, “Mr. Laban, it’s too late now. There’s no one working at the company so I will check the situation tomorrow.”
“Transfer me the company cash tomorrow, but please transfer our private account’s money now!”
Gurmisran had wanted to stall for time, but seeing that Ornard was urging him to do so, he could only tell the truth. “Mr. Laban, the money in our private account has been frozen!”
“When was this?” Ornard was stunned.
“It was frozen yesterday. I thought I would be able to unfreeze it very soon, so I didn’t tell you about it.” He sounded very unconfident when he spoke.
“Fucking hell…” Ornard was so angry that he was gasping for breath. “Why did you hide it from me? Why did you hide such a big issue from me? What are you up to?”
“I… Mr. Laban, I didn’t mean it. I thought it was just a routine check and would be unfreeze the account in two or three days… Don’t worry, Mr. Laban. Maybe it will be fine the day after tomorrow.”
“What if it can’t be unfreeze the day after tomorrow? Who knows what William is up to? What the hell, man!” Ornard cursed angrily.
Gurmisran didn’t dare to say more to defend himself and kept apologizing. Ornard scolded him for a while and felt pointless.
He still had to rely on Gurmisran. Gurmisran knew more than Veronica when it came to Ornard. If Ornard were to have bad blood with him, things would not look good for him.
Ornard hung up the phone angrily, thinking that Gurmisran was useless now. Now he should coax Gurmisran to do things for him still. After everything was over, he would find a way to deal fire him.
Ornard began to think of what he was going to face next. Now that the Floyd family was pressing hard on him, he could only admit defeat. It was useless to apologize or beg for mercy, so the companies should be closed for now.
Ornard had thought about it for a long time and planned everything. He was not so annoyed anymore by the time when it was already seven o’clock in the evening. He had been in the company for one day and had not eaten anything except for water. Therefore, he was very hungry.
Ornard stretched his body and was about to go home for dinner. As soon as he stood up, his phone rang. The housekeeper at home called. “Mr. Laban, come back quickly! Something happened to our kid!”
“What could have happened to a kid?” Ornard didn’t take the housekeeper’s words seriously when he heard that something had happened to the child. He thought that Aurora was up to something. The housekeeper’s next sentence nearly made Ornard jump up in shock. “Seriously! Just now, I don’t know what happened to him, but he suddenly lay on the ground with a pale face and no breath left.”
“What? How could this be? Hurry up and send him to the hospital!” Ornard was stunned by this extremely bad news. He asked the housekeeper to send Santhos to the hospital with his hoarse voice, while he rushed out with his mobile phone.
Ornard was truly panicking right now! He was only able to give birth to a son in his fifties. His child was the successor of his career and the foundation of the Laban family… God bless him. Nothing must happen to him!
The baby was sent to the nearby hospital to be rescued. The housekeeper and Aurora took the servants to the hospital too, but Veronica didn’t follow them.
An illegitimate child might not be able to survive after taking that amount of drugs. What she had to do now was destroy the evidence immediately and remove everything that might point to her.
Veronica had already bought the same kind of gummies before Aurora and baby came back. After the people in the villa followed her to the hospital, she immediately went to his room and replaced the bottle of gummies.
After throwing the poisonous gummies into the sewer, Veronica drove to the hospital.
She arrived at the hospital almost at the same time as Ornard. When Veronica stopped the car, she saw Ornard getting out of the car first and rushing to the operating room in a panic.
Looking at Ornard who was in his fifties, rushing to the back of the operating room, Veronica sneered. The show was about to begin. She then got out of the car immediately and followed him.
