Chapter 1429 Investigate

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

Angel was secretly happy when she saw that Evelyn was irritated, but she pretended to persuade the latter, “Miss Gurney, please calm down first. Valeria is not a good person, so you need to come up with a perfect plan if you want to deal with her. You can’t be impulsive, or else you’ll be caught in her trap.”
“I’ve had quite a few interactions with Valeria and I know that she’s easily jealous. I don’t have to go head to head with her and I just have to be smart. I can easily break Valeria’s heart if I can find a way to get William to fool around with other women. That way, Valeria won’t be able to be arrogant anymore.”
Evelyn snorted. “It’s easy to say, but it’ll be difficult to do.”
“That’s right. We need to discuss this carefully, so we’ll talk about it after you recover. Miss Gurney, just tell me if you need any help in taking revenge on Valeria. I’ll stand firmly on your side.” Angel immediately expressed her stance, but Evelyn didn’t appreciate it and she asked Angel with disdain, “What can you do for me when you’ve been driven out of the Floyd family?”
Angel was extremely embarrassed because Evelyn didn’t take her seriously at all.
“Although I don’t have much power now, I still have some people who can gather information for me. The Howard family is tightly guarded, so it will be even more difficult for you to find out about Valeria’s situation. But I’m different because I can get information from their servants.”
Evelyn didn’t say anything more when she heard Angel’s words. After that, Angel sat for a while before she got up and left.
Angel left the ward and went to the parking lot, where Madelyn had been waiting for a long time. She quickly came over when she saw Angel. “Miss, how is it?”
“What else can go wrong when I handled it personally?” Angel said proudly, “Evelyn became so angry after I provoked her and she will definitely try her best to deal with Valeria. At that time, Valeria will definitely be in trouble.”
“Miss, I don’t know if I should say this…” Madelyn hesitated when she heard Angel’s words.
“Either get straight to the point or just swallow your words. Don’t waste my time.”
Angel was not polite at all. Madelyn was used to being scolded, so she was not angry. She held Angel’s hand and walked to the car.
“Miss, Valeria is your cousin-in-law and it’s not good for you to get someone to deal with her like this. You’ll be abandoned by the Floyd family if you get exposed, so it’s better for you to reconcile with Valeria.”
“What? Don’t you know how bad she treated me? The reason why I became like this is all because of her!” Angel was furious. ” I started to get into trouble from the first day I saw Valeria. I couldn’t do anything smoothly, so why should I be good to her after how she treated me?”
“I know that you have suffered a lot before this, but it’s better not to make enemies. Why don’t we put everything aside and make peace with Valeria from now on?”
Madelyn quickly continued when she saw that Angel was about to get angry.
“I don’t mean to compromise with her, but it’s for your own good. You know, Valeria’s position in William’s heart is very special. He would favour or hate anyone just because Valeria said so, and he loves her very much. If you make peace with Valeria, William will speak up for you in front of your grandparents out of pity. You don’t have to suffer like this outside.”
Angel wanted to swear at Madelyn, but she didn’t do that in the end when she heard the explanation. Madelyn smiled after she saw this.
“You have been pregnant for quite some time, so it’s not good for you to keep relying on outsiders. We have to find a way to go home and let your family take the initiative to propose a marriage between you and Richard. At least you’ll get to marry into the Clark family if you do this.”
Angel looked at the cheap car she was driving and it was a second-hand car that Paisley had bought. She had never been so down and out since she was born.
Madelyn’s persuasion was somewhat reasonable. Angel frowned and thought for a moment before she said unhappily,
“Why didn’t you remind me earlier when you thought of this idea? That way, I wouldn’t have to discuss how to deal with Valeria with Evelyn. I’ve already persuaded Evelyn, but you want me to reconcile with Valeria instead. Don’t you think that I’ll be in deep trouble if Evelyn exposes what I did to Valeria out of anger?”
“Miss, there’s no correlation between your reconciliation with Valeria and how Evelyn wants to deal with her. On the contrary, I think this is a good opportunity for you to persuade Evelyn to go against Valeria.”
Madelyn said with confidence, “Anyway, it’s impossible for them to reconcile with each other. At that time, you can get along well with both Evelyn and Valeria. You can inform Valeria once Evelyn wants to deal with her so she can get away unscathed. By then, Valeria will be very grateful to you and she will be very kind to you. With her help, I’m sure the Floyd family will shower you with love again.”
Angel chuckled. “You look so foolish and I’ve always thought of you as a dimwit, but I didn’t expect you to come up with such an idea.”
It didn’t sound like a compliment, but an insult instead. Madelyn smiled awkwardly and felt bitter in her heart.
Angel had never been kind to her and she either scolded or insulted her all the time. Even if Angel returned to the Floyd family and regained their love, she might not treat Madelyn any better.
However, she was Angel’s biological mother and a parent should always think for the sake of their child. No matter what, it was much better for Angel to go back to the Floyd family than to stay outside.
Madelyn started the car and left the hospital parking lot. When she passed by the main road and saw the entrance of the luxurious maternity centre where Valeria was staying, Madelyn saw the Floyd family’s luxury RV.
“Miss, this is the Floyd family’s car.”
Madelyn reminded Angel and saw Deborah and Fandrey sitting in the back of the vehicle. “It’s my grandparents.”
“Where are they going?” Madelyn suddenly remembered that Valeria’s maternity centre was right next to them.
“Aren’t they going to visit Valeria? Miss, it’s been a few days since Valeria gave birth. Why don’t we take this opportunity to visit Valeria as well? Let’s buy some gifts for her.”
“What gifts? Don’t you know that I don’t have any money now? I can’t even afford a cheap gift, let alone something expensive.” Angel frowned.
“There’s no need to buy expensive gifts. We can just buy a bunch of flowers and visit her. Valeria is living in a luxurious suite right now, and only a few selected visitors can see her. You can just stand downstairs with a bouquet while you wait for your grandparents to come down. Although you used to be so close to Madam, you’ve been driven out of the house for a while now. This should be a good opportunity for you to get close to your grandmother as well.”
Angel was a little unhappy when she thought of how she had embarrassed herself in front of Callum and Emily that day. However, Deborah was different because she had a soft heart and perhaps she would feel sympathetic to Angel.
Angel agreed with Madelyn’s suggestion. “Okay, let’s go buy some flowers first.”
