Callum hung up the phone and immediately called William. “William, Veronica and Ornard have completely broken up. She is so whimsical that she wants to use me to help her get out of trouble. I refused her directly. Now that we have already shown our cards to them, should we settle it now?”
“I originally wanted to play with them, but things have already turned out like this so let’s end it.” William had originally wanted to play with Ornard, but Leonard had appeared out of nowhere. To prevent further delay, he had to settle the matter with Ornard first. Only then would he have the energy to deal with Leonard.
“Then we’ll proceed according to our original plan. By the way, if you need me to do something, just tell me directly. I’ll arrange it.”
“Uncle, you just need to arrange for the lawyer to prepare for the lawsuit. We don’t have to do the rest as Ornard will do it for us.”
“That’s right. Ornard is so vicious. If he knew that Veronica treated him like this, he would definitely not let her go.”
Callum hung up the phone, and William immediately called Jaxon. “Ask someone to keep an eye on Veronica. Ornard will deal with her soon. What you need to do is to watch quietly and inform the police when Ornard starts playing with fire.”
Jaxon agreed without hesitation. “Okay! I’ll go and watch the show myself then!”
Veronica drove back to Ornard’s house and was ready to escape.
She put all her valuable jewelry into the box and even took two boxes of precious calligraphy and antiques with her.
Carrying the suitcase, Veronica quickly left Ornard’s house. After getting in the car, she turned off her mobile phone.
While driving, Veronica was thinking that she had to leave here and hide for a while.
Veronica bought a villa in the nearby state, which was unknown to Ornard.
At that time, she just wanted to buy her own villa, but she didn’t expect that one day she would use it to escape.
After the car drove out of the city, Veronica’s nervousness slowly disappeared. As long as she left here safely, Ornard would have no way to deal with her.
After all, she had too many entanglements with Ornard regarding benefits and losses. She knew too many dark secrets of Ornard. Ornard didn’t dare to call the police to look for her, so he could only look for her in private.
As long as she reached her own territory, Ornard wouldn’t be able to find her no matter how capable he was.
Veronica didn’t know that what she had done was observed by Jaxon.
Jaxon received a call from William and immediately rushed to Ornard’s house to wait for Veronica. Seeing that Veronica had packed up a few large boxes, Jaxon was speechless.
Veronica was too greedy. If she left quietly, it would take him a lot of effort to find Veronica, maybe a few days or even a month later, but definitely not today. Veronica’s greed exposed her whereabouts.
Jaxon smiled silently and motioned for his subordinates to follow Veronica.
In the hospital, Ornard woke up at eight o’clock in the evening. When he woke up, he shouted, “Where’s Veronica? Where’s that b*tch?”
When the butler was concerned about Ornard fainting, and he had no time to think about Veronica. “I don’t know where she went!”
“Send someone to find Veronica and lock her up. I’m going to make her beg for death!”
The butler had to call someone to find Veronica, and then called the servant of the villa to ask if she had ever come back.
The servant of Ornard’s villa answered the call from the butler and reported, “She came back once, packed up a few big boxes, and left. She refused to tell us where she was going. She only said that Mr. Laban knew where she was going. She was the owner, and we didn’t dare to ask her, so we let her go.”
“D*mn it!” The butler reported the servant’s words to Ornard. Ornard was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
“Is this b*tch really going to run away? How dare she go back and pack things… Wait… she packed things from my place? What did she take?”
Thinking of the treasures in his own study room, Ornard couldn’t sit still and insisted on going home regardless of his poor health.
The butler had no choice but to send Ornard back. When he got home, Ornard went straight to the study. When he saw that the door of the safe in the study was open, and the empty room Ornard was so angry that he stomped his feet.
“That b*tch! I’ll kill her if I catch her!”
The butler saw that Ornard was agitated and helped him sit down. “Mr. Laban, calm down. I’ve already sent someone to look for her. She won’t be able to escape!”
After waiting for another half an hour, the men called to report, but they did not see Veronica.
Ornard was extremely anxious. “She must be hiding! This b*tch has already planned it. She must have planned all this for a long time. It will take a lot of effort to find her now.”
“Mr. Laban, what should we do now?”
“Find her! Arrange more men to find her no matter what!” Ornard ordered exasperatedly.
The butler looked helpless. “Mr. Laban, we still have a lot of things to deal with. About the company, Miss, and the child. Do you want to deal with Veronica later on?”
Ornard stared at the butler. He knew that the butler was right. Veronica was not his priority now. He had too many things to deal with.
First of all, he had to solve the problem of Angel and the child, so that Richard would be relieved to acknowledge the child.
Ornard asked the butler to bring his phone over. He dialed Richard’s number.
Richard picked up his phone and asked casually, “Who is this?”
“Mr. Clark, it’s me, Ornard!”
“Ornard? Are we very familiar with each other? Why are you f*cking calling me?” Richard didn’t give Ornard any face when he spoke.
Ornard couldn’t care less after being scolded. “I called you to tell you about Angel and her child.”
“Angel, your illegitimate daughter? Are you f*cking telling me about your illegitimate daughter and her illegitimate child?” Richard continued to scold.
Ornard couldn’t care less. “Mr. Clark, since you already know, I won’t hide it from you. Angel is indeed my daughter. Now Veronica has given birth to your child, you…”
“Are you out of your mind? Do you think I will let Angel give birth to my child?”
Richard denied all of this. How could Ornard believe Richard’s words? He felt that Richard wanted to negotiate with him. “No… Mr. Clark, I know you’re very upset now. We can discuss it. I only have Angel as my child, and all of my wealth is hers. I…”
“You don’t understand human language, do you?” Richard interrupted Ornard.
“I’m telling you, Ornard. When you asked Angel and Gurmisran to plot against me, I have known everything. I schemed against Angel and had a man slept with her. The child has got nothing to do with me at all!”
