William didn’t know what Evelyn and Leonard had said. He only knew that Leonard and Evelyn were fighting fiercely. However, when he saw the smile on Evelyn’s face as she left, he was sure that Leonard had promised her something.
He had planned to wait for Francis and Leonard to spread some news that would ruin his reputation. After that, he was planning to release the news about Evelyn and Leonard.
However, Leonard and Francis didn’t take any action, so he was surprised.
What agreement did Leonard and Evelyn reach? What exactly were they up to?
He had to find a way to figure out what Leonard and Evelyn were planning to do, but Leonard was not that easy to get close to. As for Evelyn…
A suitable candidate flashed across William’s mind. Hence, Bobby came in and said, “Mr. Howard, I just received news that Jacqueline had gone insane. She poisoned the old lady, and now the latter is dead.”
“Huh? How could she be so vicious?” William was shocked. After all, he was the one who had suggested that Jacqueline should take care of the paralyzed woman so that he could torture that b*tch who had her own motives. However, she never expected that Jacqueline would dare to do something as evil as killing a person!
“That’s right. I didn’t expect her to be so vicious. Now that she has gotten what she wants, how do you plan to deal with her? Are you planning to hand her over to the police?”
“She did something illegal. Of course, the law will punish her, but…”
“But what?” Bobby asked.
“I suspect that Evelyn and Leonard might have reached an agreement last night. I want to know what they have agreed on. Before handing Jacqueline to the police, I want to use her to get some information out of Evelyn.”
After hearing that, Bobby grinned and said, “Mr. Howard, I think you’re confused. If you want to pry some information out of Evelyn, you don’t need Jacqueline, that evil b*tch, to help you. You can ask Jacelyn to do that instead. After all, she looks the same as Jacqueline, so you can leave it to her.”
“Well, I thought about this too. However, both of you have been separated for a long time. Hence, both of you need to spend some time with each other, and I can’t bear to separate both of you too. Evelyn is vicious too, so if she recognises Jacelyn, I’ll worry about Jacelyn’s safety.”
“It’s alright. Jacelyn is very smart and alert, and I just thought of a good idea. Didn’t Evelyn send Jaqueline to my side so that the latter could be her spy? Let’s use her plan to our advantage then. We can send Jacqueline to prison, and then Jacelyn can replace Jacqueline by staying with me. After that, she can become a double agent by pleasing Evelyn too. When that happens, we will find out what Evelyn wants to do right?”
“Wow! This is a good idea indeed! Let’s do this then!”
On the other hand, Jacqueline never expected anyone to find out that she had killed someone. However, the police arrested her and escorted her to the police station.
After Jacelyn was all dressed up, she called Evelyn. She was smart, so she could easily pretend to be Jacqueline. “Miss, that old woman is gone.”
Evelyn was delighted to receive Jacelyn’s call, and she immediately asked, “Really? What did Bobby say?”
“He’s here, and he looks upset. However, he doesn’t doubt me at all.”
“That’s great! Now that the old woman is dead, he no longer has any excuses to let you stay at the countryside. Now, you need to find a way so that you can stay by the his side.”
“Okay, I will try my best!”
Evelyn felt that tonight had been a good night. After all, she had successfully slept with William, and she had also come to an agreement with him. Furthermore, Jacqueline had also killed the old woman, so Evelyn now knew Jacqueline’s weakness.
Now that she knew how Jacqueline had killed someone, the latter would never betray her.
Evelyn thought to herself. Thus, she wasn’t afraid to tell Jacqueline, “I was with William last night!”
Jacelyn let out a surprised ‘oh’ after hearing this. She knew very well that William had been in the Howard family’s villa last night. Thus, she immediately knew who Evelyn had slept with. Hah! Did Evelyn think that her dreams had come true? However, she said, “Congratulations, Miss! Miss, you’ve finally succeeded!”
“That’s right. After thinking about it for so many days, I’ve finally achieved my goals. Furthermore, you’re free now, so I’m sure that our brighter days are coming!”
“Miss, did William promise you anything?” Jacelyn asked tentatively.
“Well, he didn’t want to promise me anything at first. However, I used the video that I recorded to threaten him, so he reluctantly promised to keep in touch with me in the future.”
“Wait, so he didn’t say that he would marry you?”
“Hah! How would things be this easy? Valeria is still alive and kicking, and he has two children. Alas! He can’t bear to part with Valeria nor his children,” Evelyn sighed.
“What are you going to do now then?”
“I…” Evelyn paused for a moment when she heard this. The most important thing at the moment she had to do was to deal with Valeria, but she couldn’t say that out loud. Hence, she ordered Jacelyn, “You should find a way to get Bobby to take you back to the Howard family first. I’ll tell you my plan after you settle down next to Bobby.”
After hearing this, Jacelyn didn’t ask any more questions. “Alright, I’ll listen to whatever you say, Miss. I’ll go and get some information from Bobby. Once he agrees to bring me back to the Howard family, I’ll tell you immediately.”
Then, Jacelyn recorded the conversation between her and Evelyn before passing it to William.
After hearing this, William sneered and said, “Hah! It seems that Evelyn didn’t recognise Leonard. In fact, I think that he doesn’t want her to recognise him either. Hence, he decided to continue putting on an act to fool Evelyn. Alright, they can continue putting on a show then. Let’s see who wins this in the end!”
On the other hand, Francis had gotten the results of the DNA test that he had ordered Frederick to do. When he saw the results that were on the piece of paper, he was immediately relieved.
Azalea was indeed pregnant with Michael’s child. If that baby belonged to Michael, he didn’t need to worry about Michael going back against his promise as he had signed an agreement with Michael.
Now that he had the baby in Azalea’s stomach and the agreement that he had signed with Michael, he could win over Michael anytime!
However, the deadline that Michael had given him was approaching, but Francis didn’t dare to delay it any longer. Hence, he ordered a family meeting to explain the situation to his family members.
When the Gurney family learned that Francis had used so much money to purchase the shares of the Davis family and become one of their executives, they were done.
Francis’s wife, son and daughter-in-law immediately objected to this decision. After all, they believed that the Davis family was no longer as rich and powerful as before. Hence, it was futile for them to spend so much money on purchasing the Davis family’s shares.
Of course, Francis didn’t take their opposition seriously and continued to do whatever he wanted.
Without the support of his family, Francis was troubled by the company’s affairs and financials for quite some time.
In the end, it took more than a month for him to save up enough money. In the end, he managed to purchase the shares while giving them the company that was supposed to be Evelyn’s dowry.
When the Gurney family saw that Francis refused to listen to their advice, they started carrying out their own plans as well.
Evelyn’s father and mother called Evelyn several times. They asked Evelyn to create a fuss in front of Francis and use whatever desperate measure to stop Francis from taking action.
If the same thing had happened in the past, Evelyn would have definitely gone to Francis just as her parents had requested. However, this time around, when her parents had called her to ask her to make a fuss, Evelyn didn’t agree.
After all, the company was nothing! Right now, the only thing she could think about was Wolf Group. She wanted to be the mistress of Wolf Group.
