“What did you say?” Ornard’s eyes widened. His son’s incident had shocked him to the extreme.
Veronica had a vicious smile on her face. “You’re very surprised, right? Let me tell you, after I knew that you have a child with that b*tch Aurora, I always wanted him to die. I pretended to be ignorant and allowed you to be so arrogant in front of me. Then I gave you a big gift. I was so happy to see you and that b*tch so heartbroken! By the way, Angel is hurt because of me too. I originally wanted her to die, but they didn’t do it well. But Angel should be no different from a dead girl now, right?”
Veronica laughed wildly and said, “Ornard! You betrayed me and now both of your illegitimate children ended up this way! Is there anything you wanna say to me? Oh, don’t you give me that look! It’s your own karma!”
“You… you… I’ll kill you!” Ornard threw himself at Veronica angrily.
Veronica didn’t take Ornard seriously at all. Seeing Ornard rushing over, she leaned to one side. Ornard was so weak he couldn’t hold his body back and slammed into the coffee table.
The heavy impact made Ornard pass out. The butler guarding outside immediately pushed the door open and came in when he heard the sound. Seeing this scene, he was shocked. He immediately went forward to help Ornard up and raised his voice to call the doctor in panic.
The doctor heard the butler’s call and the nurse’s hurried over. Seeing the doctor and the nurse giving first aid to Ornard, Veronica smirked. She then turned and left the ward.
Now that she had completely fallen out with Ornard, it was impossible for Ornard to tolerate her anymore. Veronica felt that she should look for a way out.
Walking to the parking lot of the hospital and getting in the car, Veronica took out her mobile phone and checked the time. Then she dialed Callum’s number.
Callum came back from his exercise and was ready to have breakfast. When he saw it was Veronica’s phone, he frowned and directly hung up.
Veronica continued to call him. Callum answered the phone impatiently, “Veronica, if you have something to say, just ask the lawyer. Everything between you and me has been handed over to the lawyer.”
Hearing Callum’s ruthless voice, Veronica let out a self-mocking smile. “I know you hate me very much, but the lawyer can’t decide what I want to say. I have to communicate with you in person.”
“Then don’t be so long-winded. Just spit it out now.”
“Ornard and I have fallen out. I want you to help me deal with him…”
Before Veronica could finish her words, she was interrupted by Callum. “You think too much. I won’t have anything to do with such a shameless woman like you. Go find someone else.”
Callum didn’t give Veronica any face and her heart sank. “Let me finish my words first. As long as you help me deal with Ornard and tell him not to create any troubles for me, I will promise to divorce you and leave without asking for anything.”
Callum chuckled. “Veronica, you still can’t see the situation clearly, can you? It’s not about whether you want to divorce or whether you want anything when you leave. I have already gotten the evidence of you telling Ornard the Floyd family’s secret. You should know very well what consequence awaits you, right?”
Hearing Callum’s words, Veronica felt a chill in her heart. She dared to tell Ornard the truth because she had long thought of a way out. She wanted to threaten Callum with a divorce to help her deal with Ornard.
However, she didn’t expect that the Floyd family would find evidence!
The evidence was enough for her to stay in prison for a long time. Veronica didn’t want to go to jail or be dealt with by Ornard. She immediately thought of another way to solve the problem and said, “If you help me, I can get all of Ornard’s companies.”
Callum sneered. “Ornard’s company is in danger. Why would I want it?”
“If you have any conditions, just tell me and I’ll do my best to satisfy you.” Veronica was still trying to make conditions.
Callum rejected her mercilessly. “To make a deal with a woman as vicious as you is to make trouble for myself. I am not that stupid! Stop dreaming! I will never help you!”
Veronica thought that she could convince Callum to help her, but she didn’t expect that it was her own wishful thinking. She became angry from embarrassment and shouted at the phone, “Callum, although you and I are not a real couple, but we have lived under the same roof for more than 20 years! Are you really gonna leave me at a dead end?”
“You’re seriously asking me to leave you a way out?” Callum asked, “Veronica, don’t you know what you have done? Do you want me to remind you?”
“What did I do? Wasn’t I tricked by Ornard to steal the secrets of the Floyd family for him? I know I trusted the wrong person. I already know that and I regret it. Why are you so aggressive now, huh?”
“Are you sure you only steal family secrets? Veronica, you are such a heartless woman. Have you forgotten about Tilda? Don’t you know how Tilda died?”
When it came to Matilda’s death, Veronica could not say a word. She always thought that no one would know the truth of her death, but she did not expect that the Floyd family knew all this.
Callum sneered. “Back then, you and Ornard viciously killed Tilda for the Floyd family’s inheritance. You made her die at such a young age. We haven’t settled this debt with you yet. Where did you get the face to bargain with me now?”
In the face of Callum’s questioning, Veronica had nothing to say. She knew that she had no way out. Matilda’s death was something that the Floyd family could not get through no matter what. The Floyd family would not help her, but would try their best to kill her instead.
A burst of despair rose in her heart. She was unwilling to give up!
She then asked Callum, “When… when did you find out?”
“From the moment we planned to deal with you and Ornard, that b*stard! Did you really think that Ornard would tell you the news that he plotted against you and that he had an illegitimate child?”
“What do you mean? Did you plot all of this? You… you are too…”
“Compared with you, you’re still the superior in schemes. Veronica, your good days are coming to an end. Now it’s time for you to pay the debt. You can enjoy all this slowly!”
After Callum finished speaking, he hung up. Veronica’s fingers knuckles turned white as she tightened her grip on the phone. She had always felt that she had a way out, so she dared to challenge Ornard. Now it was impossible to count on the Floyd family to help her get out.
She had to find a way to deal with Ornard immediately as she knew how vicious Ornard’s methods were.
What she had to do now was escape before Ornard started to deal with her. She had to leave right away.
