The assistant immediately followed Leonard’s instructions and relayed the orders to the nanny, who naturally agreed immediately.
Leonard asked about Braelynn again, “What’s the situation with Braelynn?”
“I haven’t heard any news yet, but I’ll ask about it.” The assistant asked the person who was tasked with following Braelynn, but he didn’t receive any reply.
The assistant muttered, “Where did these two guys go? Why aren’t they replying?”
Leonard was clearly upset. “Are they slacking off? Give them a warning and make sure that they’ll complete their job without any mistakes. I’m sure they’ve just been loitering around all day long.”
The assistant agreed. “I’ll keep an eye on them. Don’t worry, Mr. Floyd!”
After having dinner with the Clark family, William came to pick all of them up at nine o’clock at night.
Santhos and Cade refused to leave because they wanted to continue playing with Emma. William and Valeria had no choice but to carry them into the car, which made the two boys upset. “I want to sleep with my wife.”
Everyone burst out in laughter when they heard this. After they left the Clark family, Santhos and Cade fell asleep in the arms of their parents because they were exhausted after playing for an entire day.
Valeria told William what had happened throughout the day. “Emma is very cute. Helen was upset when Abbie brought her back to the house, but Richard surprisingly likes her very much. Abbie and I were perplexed with his attitude, could it be that he found out the truth?”
Of course, William would not hide anything from Valeria. “Richard knows everything.”
Valeria exclaimed, “Did you tell him? William, why can’t you keep a secret?”
Valeria only called William by his name when she was upset, so he could only explain, “Richard felt that Emma resembled Abbie when she was young, so he called and asked me about it. I didn’t want to admit it, but I had to tell him because he wanted to do a DNA test.”
“I don’t believe you. You must have informed Richard beforehand, or else how could it be so coincidental? Even Aunt Helen didn’t notice anything wrong, so could it just be because Richard is smart?”
“I’m telling the truth. Why don’t you believe me?” William was extremely wronged. “Don’t call me by my name ever again, or I’ll be angry and you’ll be done for!”
“Why should I be afraid of you? In the future, I’ll also ask Cade and Santhos to call you William as well. Let’s see if you can go against the three of us.”
“How can you do this to me?” William was both amused and angry. “I’m telling you the truth and I’m really not making it up. Richard really guessed it. He loves Emma and Abbie very much, so he promised he wouldn’t ruin our plan. Wouldn’t it be easier to solve Abbie’s problems with Richard’s help?”
Valeria thought about it and felt that it made sense. When she thought about how Cade and Santhos would fight over Emma’s attention, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Hubby, Emma is so adorable to the point that Cade and Santhos both want to marry her. What if both of them fall in love with Emma?”
“How could it be such a coincidence? They’re just children, you don’t have to take them seriously.”
“Emma looks so pretty now and she’ll definitely be extremely beautiful when she grows up. I’ve already decided on this and discussed this with Abbie. In the future, Emma will go to school with our sons and one of them will marry her when they grow up.”
William felt that Valeria was overthinking. “We’ll talk about it when they grow up. It’s too early now! After all, feelings will change over time.”
“What?! Does that mean that you don’t like me anymore?”
“I’m just giving you an example. They’re children, so what do they know about love? Take us for example. We aren’t married to our childhood friends, right?”
Valeria snorted. “I don’t have a childhood sweetheart. Do you have one?”
“No.”
“Weren’t you very popular? So why don’t you have one? Didn’t you have so many admirers that you changed girlfriends daily?”
“Dear, why don’t we be nice to each other? Your tone changed and it sounds like you’re jealous.”
“Who’s the jealous one? You’re just being egoistic!” Bobby laughed while he drove in the front seat, which made Valeria change the topic out of embarrassment. “I thought you would come over for dinner tonight, so why didn’t you come? Uncle Donald and Aunt Helen asked about you.”
“I wanted to, but I got held back by something.”
“You’re lying again. Didn’t you say everything was fine before?”
“Something really happened at the last minute to Braelynn, so I brought Bobby along to deal with it.”
It was definitely not a small matter if William had to deal with it personally. Valeria immediately asked, “What happened?”
“Someone was following Braelynn yesterday. When she found that something was wrong, she began to pay attention to her trackers. Then, the same group of men changed their clothes and cars to continue following her today. Braelynn told me about it, so I asked Bobby to cause trouble for them.”
“Who are they working for? Is it Leonard?”
“That’s right! It looks like he must have had some suspicions. He almost succeeded when he attacked Thomas last time and he wanted to use the same trick again this time. Of course, I won’t stand on the sidelines and watch.”
“Leonard is such a b*stard!” Valeria was extremely disgusted. “You have to teach him a good lesson and stop him from hurting anyone else.”
“Don’t we have to take it one step at a time?” William laughed. “I’ll get rid of his men first before I deal with him myself!”
Leonard didn’t know that something had happened to his men until the next morning. His assistant came in a hurry to tell him, “Mr. Floyd, the men who were supposed to trail Braelynn got into an accident!”
“They’re all good-for-nothings. What’s the use of hiring them if even a woman can deal with them?” Leonard cursed angrily out of fury.
The assistant braced himself and reported, “Not only that, but all of our other subordinates are all in trouble. More than a dozen of them were captured by the police last night.”
If that was the case, who else could he possibly use? Leonard was full of confidence in carrying out his plan when he returned this time. However, his plans couldn’t be carried out smoothly in the future if he lost all of his subordinates.
Leonard still hadn’t regained his sight and he could only listen to his assistant’s report. He was so angry that he smashed the cup on his bedside table. “What the hell?! What’s going on? What was the reason for the arrest?”
“The people who followed Braelynn were beaten up by William’s men, who told the police that they were all murderers. Then, the police found their weapons in their car and they did a DNA test as well to expose all the crimes they had committed. Then, the police began to track down the people they were frequently in contact with. Our men were caught off guard when they encountered such a thing and they weren’t prepared at all.”
“That b*stard, William! It’s all his fault!” Leonard was so agitated that his veins portruded on his forehead.
Of course, the assistant knew that William was the one behind this. After all, the only ones who were keeping an eye on Leonard were William and the Floyd family. Since the Floyd family would never be this ruthless and they couldn’t act this fast, William was the only one who could do it since B City was his territory.
No one had expected such a thing to happen, so the assistant could only ask Leonard, “Mr. Floyd, what should we do now? We have to think of a solution as soon as possible!”
