In Gurmisran’s villa, Angel and Gurmisran were in the study while video calling Ornard.
Francis had suddenly acknowledged Azalea’s identity, so Ornard was worried about this. Hence, he had video-called specifically to ask about this issue. “Now that Azalea has suddenly revealed that she is Francis’ illegitimate daughter, will the Floyd family suspect anything?”
“They won’t suspect anything!” Gurmisran guaranteed, “Now the people who know the truth are Madelyn and us, and I’m sure that Floyd family won’t know that the children have been switched. Well, Madelyn was the one who committed this crime, so she won’t dare to tell the truth no matter how bold she is.”
“But I’m still worried! Now that Madelyn knows that Azalea is not Emily’s daughter, she will definitely be suspicious. Will she try to check Angel’s identity?”
“I don’t think Madelyn is suspicious because she’s still treating Miss the same way as before. If she knew Miss’ real identity, she wouldn’t have allowed herself to be wronged this way. Most importantly, Madelyn has nothing now, so she’s hoping that Miss Clark will redeem herself. Thus, even if she knows the truth, she won’t do anything.”
“Well, I’m glad that you’re so sure of yourself. Recently, I’ve been pressured by the Floyd family, and I can’t even take a break. So, I’m just worried that something else will happen.”
“What did the Floyd family do again?” Gurmisran asked.
“Well, it’s regarding the court case that Veronica started for her divorce. I wanted Callum to pay for more childcare, so I arranged for someone to take a video of Callum and Emily so that we can use it during the court case. However, the Floyd family had already prepared to defend me, so the person that I sent to spy on the Floyd family had turned against me. In the end, she became a witness for them. Thus, I’m in an unfavourable situation now.”
In the video, Ornard was frowning, and he looked upset.
“Urgh! The Floyd family is really ruthless. They don’t care about me and aunt,” Angel interrupted angrily, “Anyway, Aunt Veronica has lived in the Floyd family for so many years. How could they be so ruthless and show her no mercy?”
“That’s right. I didn’t expect them to be so cruel!” Ornard regretted his actions. Previously, he had been too greedy, and he had worked hard because he wanted to get the Floyd family’s assets. If he had been more patient, the Floyd family wouldn’t have found out about his true intentions. However, it was too late to regret anything now.
On the other hand, outside the study, Madelyn knelt on the floor and wiped the floor with a rag. However, she had subconsciously pressed her ears against the door as she wanted to overhear the conversation inside.
She had heard most of the conversation inside, so she felt upset.
Her daughter was dead, but the other party’s daughter was living well. In fact, she had to bend her back and serve Angel like a servant. This was so unfair!
At this thought, Madelyn walked a little far away from the study and continue to mop the floor. She put a lot of strength into her actions, and it was as if she was not moping the floor but expressing her anger instead.
After that, Angel frowned and came out of the room. When she saw Madelyn kneeling on the ground and wiping the floor, she frowned. When she thought of how Madelyn treated her like her own daughter, she felt unhappy for a reason. “Do you know about Azalea’s situation? Have you contacted her?”
“No! Why should I contact her?” Madelyn controlled her impulse to hit Angel and answered in a muffled voice.
Then, Angel sneered and said, “Hah! Didn’t you use to raise her? You’re sort of her mother too, aren’t you? Even though you aren’t a competent mother, Azalea has finally redeemed herself. After all, she has suddenly become one of the daughters of the Gurney family! So don’t you want to contact her to get some benefits?”
“Hah! Why would that ungrateful b*tch that I raised give me benefits? That’s impossible!” Madelyn was trying to say something.
When Angel heard Madelyn’s angry voice, she certainly knew that Madelyn was furious now. Bah! How could someone like her take her temper out on her? Angel sneered.
“Hehe! I want to ask, do you ever think that you’re someone who brings bad luck to others? When you were with Azalea previously, Azalea ended up in such a terrible state. After that, when you started working for me, I started becoming unlucky as well! Now that your bad luck isn’t affecting Azalea anymore, she’s starting to live a good life. Hmm, should I get rid of you too? Afterward, my luck will get better right?”
The blue veins on the back of Madelyn’s hand had been exposed. Her daughter was gone. Instead, she had spent so many days for Angel, the b*tch. She had worked hard and paid so much money, but she never got any praise. Urgh! Angel was too despicable!
Hence, she controlled herself and didn’t answer. After Angel said something unpleasant, she saw that Madelyn didn’t answer, so she left resentfully.
Meanwhile, Madelyn looked at Angel’s back with hatred in her eyes.
She couldn’t bear this anymore. Right now, she couldn’t take all the insults without complaining, and she needed to get revenge against Angel.
At this thought, Angel started thinking about how to take revenge on Angel. She then came up with several plans.
At first, she wanted to take Angel’s jewellery and her living expenses. However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was too risky to do so. After all, Angel would definitely call the police. At that time, she would be wanted by the whole country. If she was caught, she would end up in jail instead!
Then, Madelyn thought for a while and finally came up with a way to deal with Angel.
Angel had always wanted to marry Richard using the child in her belly. She didn’t care about anyone now, and what she cared about most was the child in her belly. Hence, if she killed the child in Angel’s belly, the latter would have no more hope. After all, she had plotted so long for this, so she would go crazy if she lost the child in her belly right?
However, it was a little troublesome to deal with Angel. Madelyn had given Angel an abortion drug before. If something happened to Angel, she would definitely think that Madelyn was playing tricks on her. Therefore, her plan to give Angel an abortion drug would not work.
After thinking about it for a while, Madelyn decided to apply some wet and slippery liquid on the floor so that Angel would have a miscarriage.
At this thought, Madelyn decided to take action immediately. She smeared some oil on the floor of Angel’s bedroom and the stairs. In order not to be discovered, Madelyn chose the place that Angel would walk through every day and smeared the oil on it.
After doing all this, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner as if nothing had happened.
Late at night, at an overseas airport, Leonard put on his coat and got on the plane with his bodyguards and assistant sending him off.
He had booked a seat in the first-class cabin. Hence, after getting onto the plane, he immediately went to the first-class seat in the cabin. After that, he took off his coat and laid down before asking his assistant, “Has the Floyd family shown any reaction?”
“As per your instructions, I have booked all the presidential suites in the Joyous Hotel owed by the Floyd family under your name. Furthermore, I gave them one million dollars as a deposit. I’m sure that the Floyd family know that this is you, and I think that they’re probably discussing about how to deal with you.”
After saying this, the assistant took a careful look at Leonard before asking. “Mr. Floyd, do you really think you want to stay in the Floyd family’s hotel?”
“Of course not!” Leonard shook his head and replied, “Let’s find another hotel!”
“Huh? Then you’ll waste the one million dollars deposit that you paid!”
“We can earn more money. Besides, it’s just one million dollars. This million is just a drop in the bucket compared to the Floyd family’s large assets, right?” Leonard didn’t care about anything at all.
“Mr. Ye, why did you announce your return in such a flashy way? If you hadn’t kept such a high profile and chosen to attack the Floyd family from behind, I’m sure that they wouldn’t be prepared.”
“Bah! Do you think I wanted to keep such a high profile? William’s people are already surrounding me, so it’s useless for me to keep hiding, right?” Leonard sneered darkly. “Furthermore, they said that William is a genius in the business world, so I need to greet him formally. If I can steal both the Floyd family and William’s companies, I want everyone to see whether he’s a genius or a fool!”
