After lunch, Bobby took Jacelyn and Valeria out of the restaurant to return to the Howard family’s villa.
When they reached the parking lot, William’s phone rang. It was a call from Marcus.
William answered the call immediately and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Howard, I just received news that Angel committed suicide after strangling her child to death and stabbing Gurmisran.”
“What? Such tragic news!” William never thought that Angel would do something like this, so he asked, “How is Gurmisran now?”
“Angel stabbed him like crazy, and his vocal cords have been damaged. He’s also blind now, so he’s pretty much useless now even though they managed to save his life.”
William shook his head and didn’t know what to say. After all, Gurmisran was evil as well. He did so many atrocious things, so this was probably the consequence that he had to pay.
He suddenly remembered Madelyn, so he asked, “Where’s Madelyn?”
“Something happened to her too! She must have told Angel about Ornard and the child, so the latter didn’t want to continue living. Furthermore, Madelyn stole Angel’s jewellery, but she was unlucky. She received a call from the police when she was halfway back, so she got into an accident on the highway. When the police arrived, she was already dead.”
When William heard what Marcus had said, he sighed and replied, “Well, Ornard’s story ends here, so we can stop paying attention to it. Let’s worry about Leonard instead then.”
“Mr. Howard, we still need to talk about Paisley. Once she learned about Ornard’s death, she rushed back overseas through the night. She told us that she was going back to deal with some matters after his death, but I think she’s going back to fight for a share in the assets.”
“Is she going to fight for assets? Heh! What assets do Ornard even have for them to fight for?” William sneered. “After all, he has to use his assets to pay for all the illegal things to be done, so I think Paisley had made a bad move.”
After that, Marcus smiled and said, “Hmm, she doesn’t know about Ornard’s situation in detail, so she still thinks that she’s the biggest beneficiary out of this.”
“Okay, let’s wait and see what she will do!”
When Paisley arrived at Ornard’s house, he asked Danya to take a look at him. After pretending to cry a few times, he began to plan how to steal Ornard’s property.
Now, Paisley knew that only she and Angel were qualified to inherit Ornard’s property. This meant Ornard’s half-dead illegitimate son was not qualified as well.
Anyway, the illegitimate child was already almost dead. It was easy to kill him off, so she only needed to worry about Angel.
However, Gurmisran was protecting Angel. Hence, she needed to get rid of Gurmisran if she wanted to kill Angel.
As long as she killed Gurmisran, Angel, that idiot, would no longer be a threat to her.
After some discussion, Paisley and Danya decided to kill Ornard’s illegitimate child first. After all, illegitimate children also had the right to inherit the assets. Hence, they had to kill the illegitimate child without anyone noticing to avoid future troubles.
Right now, Paisley had no one she could order around. Hence, she called Henry to ask him for help.
When Mr. Anthony heard that Ornard and Veronica were dead, he was delighted. After all, Paisley was his daughter no matter what. Hence, it would be good if Paisley could get Ornard’s family assets. Hence, he agreed immediately and got someone to help Paisley get rid of Ornard’s illegitimate child.
On the other hand, Aurora was the last one who found out about Ornard’s death. Ornard hadn’t looked for her for a few days, and she couldn’t get through to him either. She was worried, so she only found out that Ornard and Veronica were dead when she went to Ornard’s company.
Aurora heart’s sank when she heard this news. Once Ornard was dead, she would have no one to rely on.
After all, Aurora’s child was also Ornard’s son. Although he was an illegitimate child, he was still the heir. She had to think of a way to help her child obtain the inheritance he deserved. Thus, it would be beneficial for her and her child.
At this thought, Aurora immediately went to Ornard’s lawyer to discuss the inheritance. The lawyer was on pretty good terms with Aurora, so he agreed to help her.
The lawyer gave Aurora an analysis of the pros and cons of the case. Then, he told her that her child’s existence was a massive threat to the other heirs. Hence, someone would definitely lay a finger on him. She wanted Aurora to take good care of him first so that he wouldn’t get into trouble.
After the lawyer’s reminder, Aurora was enlightened. Thus, she thanked the lawyer and rushed back to the hospital. However, it was too late as her child had already stopped breathing.
Hence, Aurora almost went insane as she held her child’s corpse in her hand and screamed until her voice was hoarse.
In the end, the doctors and nurses took quite a while to take the corpse away from her.
Meanwhile, Aurora sat on the ground in a daze. She hated them so much!
Angel was not in the country. Hence, the only person who could’ve hurt her child was Paisley.
“Paisley, that b*tch! How could she be so vicious!”
She was going to her child. Right now, she wanted to kill Paisley!
As soon as Angel received the news that Aurora’s child had died, she learned that Angel was also dead now.
After hearing this, Paisley was delighted. Since both of them had already passed away, she was the only one who could inherit Ornard’s property.
At this thought, she happily took Danya to Ornard’s villa. Ornard’s villa was around thousands square meters, so it was big and luxurious. After that, while they were sitting in the spacious living room, Paisley happily opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate with Danya. However, before she could finish a glass of wine, the letter from the lawyer of the Floyd family arrived.
Then, the maid handed the lawyer’s letter to Paisley. When she opened it, she was dumbfounded.
Due to many crimes, Ornard had to face sky-high compensation. All his companies, real estate, stocks, cash, and antiques had been frozen, and he still owed more than ten million dollars to other people.
Paisley didn’t have a huge sum of wealth to inherit. Instead, she was Ornard’s legitimate wife, so he had to pay for his debts too.
Paisley was so angry that she jumped up and smashed the glass. “D*mn it! How did this happen? How did it become like this?”
Meanwhile, Danya picked up the lawyer’s letter and read it. She was also shocked. “What… what’s going on? Did Ornard already lose his assets a long time ago?”
“Not only did he lose his assets a long time ago, but he also owes so much money! Now, I have to pay his debts. Urgh! How did I get so f*cking unlucky?”
While Paisley was cursing, Danya said tentatively, “Don’t worry, Miss. Perhaps we can find another solution.”
“Hah! What other solution do we have? Do you think that Floyd family or the bank will let me go?” Paisley roared.
She knew a little about the law, but she couldn’t take out about ten million dollars to pay for those debts. Hence, she could only go to jail. However, Paisley didn’t want to do that!
She had visited Hardy countless times, so she knew how painful it was to be in jail.
“Miss, why don’t we run away? Ornard owes money to another country, and I don’t think our country will care about these debts. Why don’t we return back to our home country first?”
“You’re right. Let’s go back there first!”
After saying this. Paisley hurriedly got up and left with Danya. However, they never expected to meet Aurora at the door.
Aurora looked at Paisley with hatred in her eyes and screamed, “You b*tch! You evil b*tch! Give me back my son’s life!”
As she spoke, she took out a pistol from her pocket and pulled the trigger.
