Chapter 1521 To Do One Thing

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

Francis called Evelyn angrily amidst the conversation. “Why would you scold Azalea?”
“Grandpa, why did you bring that bitch, Azalea, back home? Who does she think she is? Is she worthy enough to live in our home?”
Evelyn asked furiously while brimming with anger.
“I will decide if she is worthy enough to stay in our house. What right do you have to scold her? Let me remind you, it’s your fault that Azalea ends up like this. You don’t even reflect on yourself or apologize for what you did. How can you have the nerve to scold her?”
“She was the one who brought it upon herself by rushing out. What does it have to do with me? Someone like her can be paid off with just a little money. Is it really necessary to bring her home?” Evelyn did not feel that she was in the wrong.
Francis was so angry that his chest almost blew up in anger. He would not have taken Azalea home if she had nothing to do with him. However, she was his illegitimate daughter. How could he stay back idly when his illegitimate daughter was scolded by his granddaughter?
Francis yelled sternly, “Zip it! You are too rude and unruly! How dare you say such a thing!”
“I don’t like Azalea staying in our house anyway. Grandpa, send her away immediately! Also, I want to come back and stay with you.”
Francis was unable to tell Evelyn that Azalea was his daughter. When he heard Evelyn’s scolding, the veins on his forehead were bulging angrily. “I’m warning you. You must apologize for scolding Azalea today!”
“I won’t. I would rather die than apologize to Azalea!”
“Fine, you won’t apologize, right? Then you can continue to stay there! I’m going to be honest with you. If you don’t change your temper, you will never be able to come back!”
Francis hung up the call angrily. Azalea sat in the wheelchair as she looked at him blankly.
What on earth was going on? She thought that Francis would let the matter slide after he asked Evelyn about the incident casually. She didn’t expect that he would scold Evelyn for her sake.
Why would Francis do this for her? What did he want from her?
After the call was ended by Francis, Evelyn saw red. She couldn’t find anything to vent her anger on, so she threw away all the snacks and fruits sent by the maids. Then she angrily walked away from the patio and went straight to the garden.
The flowers in the garden were blooming, but she did not have the slightest intention of admiring their beauty. She grabbed a stick and started beating the flowers that were in full bloom.
“I’ll beat you to death! I’m going to kill you, vicious woman! Valeria Brown, you’re going to die a horrible death! You seized the man I love from me! Azalea, you b*tch! You even had grandpa wrapped around your finger! I’m going to beat you up!”
She hit the flowers as she cursed, so petals were flying everywhere, leaving broken branches and leaves on the ground.
As she looked at the garden that had been ruined by her, she took a deep breath and threw away the stick happily. Then she walked forward while clapping her hands.
After she took a few steps, a woman cried out in surprise behind her, “What… what happened? Who did this? Who was it? How could they treat such beautiful flowers with such cruelty?”
Evelyn turned her head abruptly upon hearing the woman’s voice. A woman was standing beside the flower bed where she had just destroyed. She looked at the fallen leaves and stems on the ground in distress and looked like she was about to cry.
Astonishment flashed across Evelyn’s eyes when she saw the woman’s face. She then turned around and walked straight towards her. “Jacelyn? You can stand up now, can’t you?”
“Miss!” Jacelyn lowered her head subconsciously when she spotted Evelyn. She did not dare to look the latter in the face at all.
Evelyn, on the other hand, was pleased to see Jacelyn. She grabbed the latter’s hand and said, “Your legs have recovered, right? Didn’t they say that you could only spend your entire life in bed now because you can’t walk at all? When did you recover? Why didn’t you tell me that your legs have healed?”
Jacelyn lowered her head and didn’t have the courage to look at Evelyn. Her voice was low and timid. “Miss… I… I’m not…”
“What are you trying to say? Jacelyn, I didn’t do that to you on purpose. I know you want the best for me. I actually feel sad about what happened to you. I didn’t come to see you because I was afraid that I would make you sad. You are my favorite person. I don’t wish to see you like this, so I haven’t come to visit.”
The corner of Jacelyn’s mouth as she said in a low voice, “I know that you treat me nicely, miss.”
Evelyn acted as if she didn’t notice Jacelyn’s uneasiness. “Jacelyn, do you still remember your boyfriend? Do you want to see him? Why don’t I take you to your boyfriend?”
Jacelyn waved her hand in a flustered manner. “Miss, I don’t have a boyfriend. I have never had a boyfriend.”
“Why is that so? Don’t deny it. I saw you with him. He is William’s bodyguard, isn’t he?” Evelyn went straight to the point after Jacelyn’s fervent denial.
“Bodyguard? William? Who exactly is William?” Jacelyn looked perplexed.
“It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of him. I’ll tell you now. William’s full name is William Howard. He is also the incredibly dashing man that your boyfriend is protecting. He is the president of Wolf Group, which makes him the most handsome and wealthy man in the world.”
“The president of Wolf Group? The bodyguard of Wolf Group’s president?” Jacelyn looked shocked.
“That’s right. That man didn’t tell you who he was, did he? I’m telling you, he is trusted by William. I heard that William paid him several billion dollars at least.”
The shock on Jacelyn’s face grew in response. “Is a bodyguard really… really that rich?”
“Of course! Jacelyn, now that your legs are all healed, go to him immediately. Ask him to marry you!”
Jacelyn was obviously uneasy. “Miss… um… well… this… this is simply impossible!”
Evelyn was patient enough to tell Jacelyn this much, which was already the limit of her patience. When she saw that Jacelyn was hesitant to give her a concrete answer, the smile on her face faded in an instant. “Why is it impossible? You slept with him, didn’t you? That day in Las Vegas, when the police were checking the rooms, I saw with my own eyes that he was in your room. Your clothes were disheveled, and he was almost naked. Since he slept with you, he has to be responsible for your happiness. Don’t you want to be rich?”
Jacelyn lowered her head and kept quiet. No one knew what was on her mind. Evelyn let out a sneer. “I’ll give you another reminder. That damn bodyguard was the reason you and I were in that accident. His enemies had their eyes on you, so they targetted us. Don’t you agree? If it weren’t for you, would I even be injured? I wouldn’t have been separated from the man I love!”
“Miss, I’m truly sorry!”
“What can an apology do? Jacelyn, I haven’t told grandpa and dad about the affair between you and William’s bodyguard. If they know that I got into trouble back then because you provoked someone you shouldn’t have, do you know what the consequence will be?”
Evelyn pressed on, step by step. ” Jacelyn, I’m being nice to you since we knew each other in the past. Don’t be ungrateful. I’m telling you, your family is still here. Are you sure you want to consider the safety of your family?”
“Miss, what do you want me to do?” Jacelyn asked with her head lowered.
Evelyn said gloomily, “My job for you is simple. Go and find William’s bodyguard. Get into a relationship with him. By then, I’ll need you to do something for me.”
