Jacelyn and Bobby looked at each other and asked, “Is this true?”
“It’s hard to say, but I’ll tell William about it!”
Bobby immediately went to find William and showed him Evelyn’s message. “Sir, is Evelyn deliberately making up a lie or is it true?”
William thought for a moment after he read the message and said, “It should be true.”
“Who would want to harm Michael?”
“Evelyn has no contacts here, so it’s impossible for her to know who wants to hurt Michael. The only people who aren’t on guard against Evelyn are from the Gurney family, so I guess Francis should be the person who wants to deal with Michael.”
Bobby felt that it made sense after listening to William’s analysis. “What kind of vicious means did Evelyn mean? Since Azalea is pregnant with Michael’s child, could it be that Francis wants to kill Michael?”
“This isn’t completely impossible, but I don’t think Francis would take Michael’s life. He would probably use another method.”
William pondered for a moment and said, “Francis must be very anxious right now because Michael hasn’t decided to marry Azalea yet. He’s worried that Michael will go back on his word and marry another woman, or that he would have another child. He might think of a way to deal with Michael once and for all.”
“Would it be like what Veronica did to Ornard?” Bobby asked.
“Yes! He’ll probably ensure that Michael will not have other children. Azalea’s child will be Michael’s sole hair, and the only person who can inherit Michael’s property legally.”
“Then we have to inform Michael as soon as possible.”
William nodded. “I’ve already reminded Michael to be careful of Francis today. Since we came up with this analysis, let’s remind him again.”
William then dialled Michael’s number. “Michael, be careful of Francis. I suspect that he’s planning to use vicious means on you.”
Michael was going to see Francis in the evening, so he chuckled and said when he heard this, “I know that Francis would definitely deal with me. Do you know what means he will use specifically?”
“I still don’t know, but I feel that you should be careful when you meet him, especially the food and drinks.”
Michael immediately understood. “Would it be as I expected? Is Francis trying to make me infertile?”
“That’s just my guess. Anyway, you should be careful and take more people with you. Don’t let him have an opportunity to hurt you.”
At seven o’clock in the evening, Michael took his bodyguards to the restaurant where Francis had invited him to.
Francis invited several businessmen along. Since Michael was wary of Francis after hearing William’s words, he was determined not to drink the wine or juice. He even went to the extent to eat the dishes that Francis had consumed.
After that, Francis and Michael walked out of the hotel together. When they arrived at the parking lot outside, Francis stopped Michael. “Michael, about you and Azalea…”
Michael didn’t wait for Francis to finish his words and interrupted, “Don’t worry. Let’s talk about it after she gives birth to my child.”
Francis didn’t mention it anymore since Michael said that. Instead, he smiled and said, “I have a gift for you.”
Michael’s eyes narrowed. “Really? What present did you prepare for me?”
Frederick opened the trunk of Francis’ car and took out a box of wine. Francis smiled and said, “I know you like to drink red wine. This is a bottle of wine that I have treasured for many years, but I’ll give it to you!”
Michael looked at a box of expensive wine and accepted it with a smile. “Thank you, Francis!”
The assistant took the wine from Frederick and placed it in the trunk. Then, Michael smiled and waved goodbye to Francis.
Francis and Frederick also got in the car after they watched as Michael’s car drove away.
He asked Frederick, “Would there be any mistakes?”
“No, I mixed the medicine in the wine and he wouldn’t think that you would harm him. Besides, it’s so expensive and Michael likes red wine so much, I’m pretty sure that he would drink it.”
Francis nodded. He also felt that his actions were overboard and he sounded as if he was trying to justify himself, “You saw how he’s still trying to deny it. He clearly doesn’t have much interest in marrying Azalea, so I have no choice but to do this. As long as he was willing to lower his pride and give proper titles to her and her child, I wouldn’t treat him like this.”
Frederick could not say anything. “Sir, you have no choice but to do this, so you can’t be blamed for this!”
Michael and his assistant went home with the wine. Then, the assistant was confused as he followed Michael into the living room while he held onto the bottle of wine. “Francis gave you such an expensive bottle of wine. What kind of scheme is he trying to carry out?”
Michael sneered. “This wine is expensive, but I don’t dare to drink it!”
The assistant was stunned. “Is there something wrong with this wine?”
“I don’t know yet, so you’d better take a bottle and analyse the components first. If there is no problem, then so be it. But if there is…”
Michael sneered and said, “Then let’s wait and see! Those who try to scheme against me will definitely pay the price!”
Evelyn thought that William would definitely meet her when he heard that Michael was going to be harmed. However, William ignored her completely. Jacelyn even told her that William completely disregarded Michael’s matters because it had nothing to do with him.
Evelyn was so angry that she turned livid. Since William completely ignored Michael’s safety, it seemed that his friendship with Michael had come to an end.
Since William didn’t take the bait regarding Michael’s matter, she had to find another way.
Evelyn decided to start with Valeria. William would definitely consider marrying her if he didn’t have a wife, right?
Since Evelyn had proof that Jacqueline had committed murder, the latter would not dare to refuse if she asked her to drug Valeria.
It was just that she had to come up with a good plan. The drug she chose couldn’t cause Valeria to die suddenly because it would definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, she had to let Valeria die a gradual death to avoid being suspected.
The most important step in this plan was that she had to get her hands on slow-acting poison before planning the next step. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. She could not let the people around her obtain the poison, and she had to use special means to get it instead.
She had to carry out the plan carefully this time in order to get her hands on Valeria.
Michael’s assistant sent the wine to the lab at night and the results came out at noon the next day.
The assistant was very surprised and he hurried to report it to Michael. “There was indeed something added in the wine. I’ve read the analysis and found that this drug is used to make men infertile.”
Sure enough, it was the same as William’s guess. Francis was too vicious.
In fact, Michael was on guard against Francis, but he was only focused on obvious threats. He had never thought that Francis would do something so sinister.
If William hadn’t reminded him, he would have drunk the wine without any hesitation.
Abbie and his child were dead. From the day they left, Michael had never planned to have another child in this life.
He decided not to have any children, but he refused to be schemed against like this.
Francis was such an old b*stard. Michael would definitely make Francis pay a hefty for being so vicious and shameless!
