Emily’s words were merciless. Every word she said revealed Wayne’s heart. As his dark thoughts were exposed, Wayne couldn’t stand it anymore. He got up and went to the study room.
Azalea did not expect that the good-tempered Emily would suddenly lose her temper like this. She could only try her best to explain. “That’s not what Grandpa Wayne meant. He did it for the sake of Michael and me.”
“That’s enough. I don’t want to listen to any more of this nonsense. If you have nothing better to do, think more and look for things to occupy yourself. I’m warning you! Human beings are not made to do nothing. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. You should plan your life well. By the way, I don’t want you calling me to ask me about this matter anymore. If you ask me again, I will ignore you.”
Emily hung up the phone angrily. Azalea spread out her hands to Meadow and said, “Aunt Meadow, look…”
“Wayne is angry! How can your mother be so rude?” Meadow complained.
“She is not usually like this. I don’t know what happened today. Aunt Meadow, why don’t you go and console Grandpa Wayne?” Azalea also felt that Emily’s reaction was strange, but she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only ask Meadow to console Wayne.
Meadow got up and went to the study and said with a smile, “Dad, don’t be angry. I think something unpleasant must have happened to Emily today. It was as if she ate gunpowder. Don’t take what she said to heart. At least we proved that Azalea is indeed a child of the Floyd family, didn’t we?”
“Did we?” Wayne asked. Earlier, Emily didn’t give a clear answer to Azalea’s identity on the phone. Instead, she kept blaming the Davis family for having ill intentions. Wayne felt that something was not right.
Meadow didn’t think too much about it. “Dad, Emily is Azalea’s birth mother. There’s no doubt about that. I saw Madelyn exchange the child with my own eyes back then. In addition, Azalea has done a paternity test. There are no two ways about this. Emily acted that way because she saw through our plans. She felt that we were scheming against Azalea to get the Floyd family’s property. That’s why she was so angry.”
Wayne thought about it and agreed to what Meadow said. He sighed and said, “Davis family has lost face in front of the Floyd family!”
“It’s not a big deal. Even the closest people have fights. Emily was only complaining. She probably didn’t know that Azalea had turned on the speaker and that we could hear her words. So what if the Floyd family guessed that we are after their family property? Azalea likes Michael and won’t marry anyone else except him. In the end, they could only comply with it. Isn’t that the case with William and Valeria? The Howard family and the Saunders family were against their marriage at first. But in the end, they still complied with it. The Floyd family is only harsh with their words. They would surely give in in the end.”
“I hope so! Speaking of William and Valeria…” Wayne paused for a moment. “I heard that when Valeria bore a pair of twins, the Floyd family gave her a luxurious mansion worth more than a billion dollars.”
“So generous?” Meadow smacked her tongue. “The Floyd family is that wealthy! Didn’t they already give Valeria a valuable gift before?”
“That’s right. When William got married, the Floyd family also gave him an expensive gift. I heard that the mansion is for Valeria’s personal use. The Floyd family also prepared gifts for the two babies.”
Meadow’s heart was filled with envy when she heard Wayne’s words. “Everyone knows that the Floyd family is rich. But their wealth is only given to certain people. William and Valeria have received a lot of gifts from the Floyd family, but Azalea has nothing. How can the Floyd family treat their grandson and granddaughter so differently?”
“Maybe William and Valeria are likable and know how to win their hearts! Another possibility is the Floyd family thinks that it’s not the time to treat Azalea well yet.” Wayne said even though he felt that the Floyd family’s reaction to Azalea was not usual.
However, his thoughts were still influenced by greed. The gift to William and Valeria were nothing. All of the Floyd family’s property will go to Azalea. Compared to the property that Azalea will inherit, those gifts were a drop in the bucket. He then reminded Meadow after feeling much better with that thought.
“Take some time to teach Azalea how to win the hearts of Fandrey and Deborah. Currently, the Floyd family is still in charge of the Floyd family. He and Deborah hold a lot of shares. As long as she can please them, Azalea can get whatever she wants.”
Meadow agreed with what Wayne said. “I’ll get Azalea to build a good relationship with Fandrey and Deborah.”
Meadow and Wayne were happily planning to use Azalea to plot against Fandrey and Deborah.
As if sensing something, Fandrey, who was playing with the grandchildren in Valeria’s room, sneezed.
“Achoo!”
“Honey, did you catch a cold?” Deborah was shocked when she saw Fandrey sneezed. She immediately pushed Fandrey away. “Don’t touch Cade and Santhos. You better not infect them!”
“I didn’t catch a cold!” Fandrey immediately denied.
“Why did you sneeze if you didn’t catch a cold? You’d better stay away from the two babies. Their immune system is still weak, so they can’t take the risk.”
Seeing this, Valeria couldn’t help laughing. “Grandma, it’s okay.”
“Better to be safe than sorry. Go out and hang out by yourself. I’ll accompany Valeria and the babies.”
Fandrey reluctantly left the room. He had taken of the precious babies just now. He then edited the images on his phone and posted them on social media.
The caption read, “Checking in every day to see my super cute and precious babies!”
Soon, people started to like and comment on his post, praising the two babies cute. Fandrey replied with a smile.
Wayne also commented on Fandrey’s post. “Aren’t these two William’s babies? They are so cute!”
Fandrey replied to all the comments, except for Wayne’s.
Fandrey and Wayne had many mutual friends. Wayne had commented on Fandrey’s post to test him. When Wayne found out that Fandrey replied to everyone’s comments but his, Wayne was furious.
What did Fandrey mean? Was he looking down on him?
Wayne was infuriated. The Floyd family’s attitude was too much.
Yet the more Fandrey looked down on him, the more he insisted on getting close to Fandrey. Thinking of this, Wayne immediately went out of the study and told Meadow, “Arrange for someone to prepare a valuable gift immediately. I will bring Azalea to visit Valeria and her twins tomorrow.”
