Chapter 1485 Can’t Cut Ties

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

Although Angel said it nicely, she secretly hoped that Paisley could lend her some money.
She had high expectations when she asked Madelyn to borrow the money. Given Paisley’s status, it should be easy for her to borrow a few hundred thousand dollars.
Angel immediately asked when she saw Madelyn coming back, “How did you tell her? Did you manage to borrow the money?”
“Don’t mention it. She refused to lend me money and she even insulted me. She’s indirectly saying that you will never be able to make a comeback. Her words were harsh, but her servant, Danya, is even worse. She doesn’t take you seriously at all and she’s gone overboard.”
Madelyn was humiliated by Paisley and Danya. She was so angry that she even exaggerated the entire incident when she told it to Angel.
Angel flew into a rage because she had a bad temper. “That bitch actually said that about me? I’m so angry! I’ll go and find her right now.”
Angel was never someone that had a high tolerance, so she immediately wanted to get back at Paisley because she felt humiliated.
Madelyn stopped her. “Miss, calm down! We can’t offend Paisley now.”
Angel gasped. “Do you want me to get bullied by Paisley for nothing?”
“You can take revenge in the future. You should be patient now and we’ll teach her a lesson when we make a comeback in the future.”
Angel firmly believed that she would turn her life around. She thought that she was the only child and heiress of the Floyd family, so it would be easy for her to make a comeback.
But she didn’t think so now. Her fate now depended on whether Ornard could escape from the suppression of the Floyd family.
Her comeback also depended on whether Richard was willing to accept the child in her belly. She had regarded herself as the eldest daughter of the Floyd family previously, so she was sure that Richard would accept her and the child for the sake of the Floyd family and William. But now, she did not dare to think so.
Richard’s attitude towards her was too cold and he had no feelings for her at all. Why was she so sure that Richard would accept her at the start? Why was she so determined to marry Richard?
She had reached this point all because of Ornard’s encouragement. She wouldn’t have been like this if she hadn’t believed Ornard’s words.
Angel began to doubt the existence of the child in her belly for the first time.
Why should she give birth if she couldn’t successfully marry Richard after that?
Angel finally realized that the child in her belly was not a good bargaining chip after all.
She had to make a decision as soon as possible because it would be difficult to deal with it in the future.
Angel touched her slightly bulging belly and suppressed her anger before she went back to the bedroom. She closed the door and called Ornard.
Ornard’s voice was still unpleasant. “Why are you calling me again? Can’t you let me sleep?”
“Don’t be upset. I just want to ask you one thing. Do you think Richard will really recognize the child in my belly?”
“Of course!” Ornard replied with certainty.
“Are you sure? I’m your daughter and the Floyd family has nothing to do with me. You have to figure this out first.”
“Isn’t the Floyd family still unaware of your identity?” Ornard replied disapprovingly.
“Haha, I can’t say for sure since you and Veronica are making a scene like this. The Floyd family are not fools and their attitude towards me is too strange. I suspect that they already found out about my identity.”
“Impossible. Would they let you go like this if they knew that you were my daughters? They would be the first to kill you!” Ornard knew that what he had done was extremely crazy, so the Floyd family would never act kindly when they found out.
“What if the Floyd family knows? We should have plan B just in case. If they know my identity, it will be useless to use this child as a bargaining chip.”
Ornard was impatient. “Don’t think about it first and we can make another plan after you give birth. Anyway, Richard can’t possibly kill his own child! There will be a chance as long as the child is alive.”
“What? You don’t think that Richard will marry me, do you? I met Richard today. His attitude toward me was as cold as ice, but he took good care of the woman beside him. I suddenly understood a fact. I mean nothing to Richard without the Floyd family. You always said that Richard would marry me after I gave birth. Would he do that if my relationship with the Floyd family was exposed? I think my marriage with him depends on your ability. If you can’t defeat the Floyd family, then all of this is unnecessary.”
“Since I have asked you to do this, I have already thought of a way to deal with it. To tell you the truth, I have already made plans when you got pregnant, so it doesn’t matter if Richard doesn’t marry you. I will let him have only one child in his life, which is the child in your belly. You will give birth to the only heir of the Clark family.”
Angel was stunned when she heard Ornard’s words. “You’ll make Richard infertile?”
“Yes! That’s my plan.”
Ornard’s plan had come to this point, which made Angel’s heart skip a beat. “Are you sure you can do that to Richard?”
“Of course, I’ve already arranged for someone to stay by Richard’s side. There’s no problem if Richard refuses to marry you. As long as he refuses to be your husband, he can forget about having any more children.”
“Can you tell me who you hired?” Angel felt much more relieved when she heard Ornard’s words.
Ornard’s idea was too vicious, but it was also the best way. Richard wouldn’t have any other children after this and she would give birth to his only child. It was impossible for Richard not to accept her like this.
Ornard refused. “No, you’d better take care of yourself and your baby now. The only thing you need to do is to give birth peacefully.”
Angel felt relieved after she hung up. Since Ornard had already made arrangements, she could rest assured about the child.
Just as Angel calmed down, she thought of how Paisley had insulted her when she wanted to borrow some money. She couldn’t let it go because Paisley looked down on her like that. She had to find a way to get revenge.
Angel thought about how Evelyn was beaten up and dealt with by William. Angel could predict Evelyn’s thoughts, so she deliberately revealed the news of Abbie’s death to let Evelyn provoke Valeria. However, Paisley played a big role in it.
Paisley was the first person who deliberately spread the news of Abbie’s death.
Paisley wanted to deal with Valeria, and Angel agreed to do it because she wanted to make use of Evelyn as well.
Angel was never one to keep up a camaraderie. She wanted nothing more than to kill Paisley, who had offended her.
Angel intended to expose the fact that Paisley had used her to plot against Evelyn. Once this fact was known to Evelyn, she would naturally deal with Paisley.
Of course, she could not tell Evelyn directly because she had plotted against her before. She had to find someone else to tell Evelyn about Paisley’s schemes.
There were too few people who were in contact with Angel now, and the only person she could think of was Pierre.
