Valeria felt uneasy after William and Hayden went to the study. Every time William and Hayden talked, they would never say anything without her knowledge. Why didn't he call her today? She felt that William was discussing something bad with Hayden behind her back. The auntie washed some cherries, but Valeria was not interested in eating. She kept staring at the door of the study while she occasionally looked at the time. William finally opened the door after 40 minutes. Valeria immediately stood up and greeted him. "Dear, what did you say to Grandpa? Why did it take so long?" William answered, "We discussed about my grandparents coming here." "Is he going to pick him up?" Valeria asked. "No! My father won't go himself and he didn't allow me to go. Even you are not allowed to approach them." "Ah? This is..." Valeria wanted to say something else. Before she could say anything, she saw Hayden walking out of the study with his hands clasped b
"How would I have the time to answer your call? Talitha pretended to faint after she stabbed Natasya and she was taken away by Raymond. I can't stand by and watch Natasya cry on the ground, can I?" Hardy smiled bitterly. "I don't want to care about this vicious and shameless b*tch, but I can't control my heart. I felt sorry for her when I saw her screaming with blood on the ground, so I sent her to the hospital." "And then?" Paisley asked. "Then, she screamed in the operating room. The doctor gave her an anaesthetic, cleaned her wound, and placed her on an IV drip in the ward. When I saw that she was asleep, I asked someone to call Raelyn to take care of her before I left. I didn't know that the news have been leaked until I was on the way home. It must be Raymond!" "Raymond? Why did he do that?" "Why? For revenge?" Hardy sneered. "I'm going to arrange for Bevan to withdraw from the search. If Raymond hadn't appeared today, I would have been kept in the da
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Natasya lost consciousness again after she was given a sedative and fainted. Raelyn stayed alone in the ward as she was filled with resentment and worry. Her two daughters made such a scene over Hardy, but he did not show up at all, which was too infuriating. Raelyn called Hardy angrily, but Paisley answered the phone. Raelyn angrily asked, "Where is Hardy? Let him answer the phone!" "My brother can't answer the phone," Paisley replied, "He is sick." "Sick? How can it be so coincidental? He doesn't dare to answer the phone, does he?" Raelyn sneered. "I'm telling you, Hardy must give me an explanation for what happened today! It won't be easy for him to hide!" "Why would my brother hide? Ms. Anderson, you're thinking too much," Paisley also sneered. Since they had made such a scene, she could not continue to pretend to be weak. She should say what she wanted to say naturally. "I have something to ask you about today. Isn't
Raelyn knew how Devon felt because he had too many things to worry about recently. She could only comfort him. "Honey, don't worry. We'll find a way to fix Natasya's looks. It'll be all right." "Where should we get the money for the cosmetic surgery?" Devon asked, "My hopes to regain my job gets bleaker by the day and your company has been completely closed down. I didn't expect such a thing to happen at first, so you didn't have time to transfer the money. I'm pretty sure you don't have much money in your bank, right?" "Yes, I don't have much, but I'll ask my dad for help." Raelyn knew Devon's concern. "I will go meet my dad tomorrow and tell him about our situation." "Don't do it tomorrow. Call your father today. If he doesn't answer your call, you can send him a message." Devon made a gesture. "You don't have to say that William also set us up this time. Although your dad is unhappy with what we have done, he has always doted on you. He will definitely feel b
Gavin did not expect Archer to talk back in such an impolite manner. Gavin was shaking with anger and questioned, "Are you saying that it's reasonable for you to plot against your sister and nieces? What good would it do for you to have their reputation shattered into pieces? Don't you know that we are all in the same team?" "Raelyn was the one who started it first! She teamed up with Savannah to scheme against my entire family. She did not back down but instead continued her evil plan to hurt my daughter and my son-in-law. Why should I be kind to her when she has been nothing but vicious towards me? I have already cut ties with Raelyn. Why should I care whether she lives or dies?" Gavin was getting more agitated and said, "How can you be such a cruel person? How naive of me to think of you as a kind-hearted person! I don't think you would go so far towards your enemies like this. How can you do this to Raelyn when she is your sister?" Archer had no idea why Gavin was
Valeria mumbled but William immediately turned to look at her upon hearing Thomas' name. "What did you just say?" "It's nothing!" Valeria swiftly continued, "I'm saying that Raymond is much worse than Andrew." "I also heard that you would want to have a different brother. Who is it?" William questioned. "Did I? Honey, I think you have heard it wrongly," Valeria did not admit it. "Haha!" William sneered. Valeria playfully stuck her tongue out before continuing to consume the milk. William then picked up his phone to make a call. Valeria received a text notification as soon as she finished drinking the milk. She picked the phone up and realized that Thomas had texted her. "Valeria, I remember that you told me about having a thing for lobsters. How about I bring some over for you?" "Thank you for your kindness. But I shall give it a pass," Valeria immediately refused. "It's not your normal giant lobster but instead a tiny kind from the coun
"Alright!" Valeria sat down beside the bed and reached out to hold Gavin's hand which was not plugged with the IV drip. "Grandpa, I shall come clean to you since it's no use to deceive you any further. My husband was the one that caused Natasya and Talitha to argue with each other. I am aware that you are mad at us for not telling you about this beforehand. You are upset at us for being so cold-blooded towards the Anderson sisters. However, we are left with no other choice." "How could they have pushed you into the corner when they are already in such a fragile state?" Gavin was not convinced. "There is one saying that old habits die hard, right? The Anderson family are not the kinds who would learn from their mistakes. I knew from the very beginning that they would continue to target us ever since they plotted against me and my husband last time. I decided to make an end to this and told my husband to do it. I am tired of them trying to mess with us." Valeria pushed
Archer, William, and the others eventually left the hospital ward. Arthur was the only one who remained to accompany Gavin. Arthur stepped forward and offered, "Mr. Saunders, would you like to have a glass of water?" "No," Gavin refused while shaking his head. Arthur pondered for a moment upon seeing the weary look on Gavin's face. "Mr. Saunders, I have serviced you for decades and humbly became your right-hand man. However, I have been wanting to tell you about something but could not find the right words to say it. I shall finally voice out my opinion today." "What is it?" Gavin asked while glancing at Arthur. "Well, it relates to both President Saunders and Raelyn. I do understand your disappointed feeling towards your son. However, he is not at fault if we put our feet into his shoes. You adore Raelyn so much and would give her the very best since young. You have paid more attention to her compared to President Saunders if I am being frank with you."
