After hearing Richard’s words, Ornard thought that something was wrong with his ears. “How is this possible? Are you kidding me?”
“Why not? Do you think I even wanna waste my time joking with you? From the beginning, William and I know your relationship with Angel. William wants to deal with you, old man! I’m just playing along with him. I’m not afraid of telling you that the scandal between you and Paisley was made by William too. From the very beginning, he just treated you as a dog and played with you. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous that you want to make a comeback with this, huh?”
“You… you guys…” Ornard was so angry that he was gasping for breath at this moment.
Richard’s voice was filled with mockery. “Ornard, your intelligence and methods are nothing in front of William. Now, he doesn’t want to waste his time on you anymore and that is why I’m telling you the truth. Rot in hell!”
Then, he hung up. Ornard clutched his chest, gasping for breath. The butler immediately came forward to help him calm down when he saw how horrified he was.
After Ornard calmed down, he shouted with a dispirited face, “It’s over! It’s all over now!”
The butler did not know what was happening. “Mr. Laban, what happened?”
“Richard didn’t admit that the child was his. He and William already knew my intentions from the very beginning, and Angel’s child…”
Ornard couldn’t go on. Since Richard and William knew what he was thinking, they wouldn’t show mercy to him and Angel at all. The child’s father was also unknown.
All of this made Ornard’s heart filled with despair. He grabbed his hair and pulled it in despair.
It suddenly occurred to him that Gurmisran had participated in the supervision all the way. So how could all of these happen?
Ornard grabbed the phone and called Gurmisran. When the phone was connected, he asked Gurmisran, “Is Angel’s child Richard’s?”
“It is.” Gurmisran answered with certainty.
“I just called Richard and he told me that the child had nothing to do with him. He said that he and William knew about my plan and plotted against us. Give me an explanation for this then!”
“It’s… it’s impossible.” Gurmisran felt guilty. “Does Richard deliberately say that because he doesn’t want to acknowledge the child?”
“You’re the person I trust the most. Think about what happened that night carefully. Was there any loopholes?”
“I saw Miss and Richard enter the room that night, and it was him who came out the next morning.”
Gurmisran tried to beat around the bush. Ornard continued to ask, “Did you confirm what happened after they got in?”
“Um… no! I can’t eavesdrop at the wall, can I? Besides, the hotel was arranged by us. Richard didn’t know about it at all, so there couldn’t be an accident.” Gurmisran forced out an excuse.
“F*ck…” Ornard cursed. Since this matter had already happened, he couldn’t change anything even if he scolded Gurmisran. “Richard must have arranged everything in the room in advance to plot against us.”
“That’s impossible, right?” Gurmisran was still playing dumb.
“It’s not impossible when he has admitted it!” Ornard was so angry that his head was aching when he thought of how Richard had been scolding him like an animal since the beginning.
He rubbed his temples with his hands. At this point, he could only admit defeat. “Now everything is over! I can’t have a comeback anymore! That b*tch Veronica also plotted against me. She also took away the jewelry and antiques of the safe. I have to find her immediately.”
“Ah? How could this be?” Hearing that Veronica had taken away Ornard’s antiques, calligraphy, and jewelry, Gurmisran felt so heartbroken. He was very clear about Ornard’s stuff that were all valuable. He wanted to take those things for himself in the future, but he didn’t expect that Veronica would take action first. “Mr. Laban, arrange for someone to find her immediately and get everything back.”
“That b*tch is hiding. I don’t have any news of her yet. When I find her, I won’t spare her!”
Ornard scolded Veronica and then ordered Gurmisran, “Anything that can be auctioned back there, just sell it off. I admit defeat with the fight against the Floyd family. The most important thing is to retain my power.”
“Alright, I’ll do it right away.” Gurmisran agreed.
Ornard was going to fall. Of course, he wouldn’t give Ornard what he sold in the country. He would take all the money he got from the auctions.
Ornard hung up Gurmisran’s phone and urged the butler to find Veronica. The butler didn’t know anything about Veronica, of course. When he was dealing with Ornard, Ornard’s cell phone rang. Ornard answered it while gasping for breath. “Hello?”
He went straight to the point. “Ornard, right? I know you’re looking for Veronica. I know where she is going, so I’m going to offer you a deal.” Ornard then asked, “Where is that woman?”
“I’ll tell you after the deal. I can’t tell you now.”
“Are you telling the truth? Do you really know where Veronica is?”
“Of course! I can show you a video if you don’t believe me.”
As he spoke, the other party sent him a video. Ornard watched it and sure enough it was a video of Veronica carrying a suitcase into a villa.
He couldn’t know where it was because the surrounding area in the video was blurred out.
Ornard gritted his teeth. “What do you want?”
“Of course it’s money! Not much, one million and I’ll let you have Veronica.”
Ornard agreed without hesitation. “Okay! I’ll give you half first. The other half will be given once I see Veronica.”
“Sure!” The other party was very direct as well.
Veronica took the box into her house, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
She had finally escaped and she no longer had to be afraid.
Veronica didn’t know that Jaxon had been following her and had even revealed her whereabouts to Ornard.
She sat on the sofa in the living room for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen. There was nothing in the kitchen, unfortunately.
After driving for such a long time, she was hungry. She went to the store outside to buy some fast-food food and went back to her room.
After cooking some instant noodles and filling her stomach, Veronica yawned and went upstairs to take a bath and rest.
She had been running away nervously for the whole day. She was very tired. Now that she had completely relaxed, Veronica soon fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long he had slept. In a daze, she heard the sound of a car coming from outside. It should be the car of the neighbor next door. Veronica was sleepy, so she didn’t care and continued to sleep.
After some time, she heard the sound of the door opening. It was very loud, and Veronica suddenly woke up.
After a while, heavy footsteps sounded clearly.
It sounded so loud, what the hell was going on?
Did someone enter her house? Didn’t she lock the door just now?
As the footsteps got closer, Veronica was shocked and sat up. She had just turned on the lights of the bedroom when the door of her bedroom was slammed open from the outside.
