All Chapters of That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Chapter 691 - Chapter 700

William was not bothered by the incident at all and was sitting on the balcony of the presidential suite while accompanying Valeria to have afternoon tea. Valeria was eating pastries while swiping her tablet to get ahold of the latest update of Declan's news. She then shook her head and said, "Honey, aren't you concerned about it at all? Why does it seem that the news is getting increasingly popular?" William replied with a smile, "Don't worry! Hardy was behind this and had spent a fortune to blow up this piece of news. I'm delighted to see Hardy willing to spend more money just to point fingers at me." Valeria placed the cake down from her hand and said, "Honey, how much did Hardy actually spend to hype up this news? Won't he feel heartbroken when all his effort will soon turn to dust?" "Of course he won't as he has no idea about it yet." William grinned and continued, "Hardy is willing to go all in as long as he could get rid of me." "He is looking for t

"What idea have you come up with?" Talitha and Natasya asked at the same time.    "I am going to make a deal with William just like how we dealt with Hardy by publicly admitting his relationship with Talitha. We will use the same tactic on William with Natasya this time." Raelyn's eyes lit up when she heard about Devon's proposal and agreed, "Yes, this is a good idea! Why didn't I think of it before? It was a success with Hardy and perhaps might work on William as well. It will be a win-win situation for us if that is the case." "I don't think so! He would not agree as he has a strong ego. He might even think that we are threatening him instead," Natasya was displeased with the idea.  "He must have a soft spot to be dealt with! Wasn't Hardy the perfect example? He wanted to get rid of the baby but eventually chose to publicly announce his relationship with Talitha. Hardy and William are indifferent and I am confident that this plan would work!" "They are n

Hardy knew that Michael would eventually bail William out of jail. Hence, his plan was to detain William for several days in the detention center.  Did it mean that Hardy had arranged for his men there to get rid of him? William would have gone with the flow and have a look at the tricks that were under his sleeve.  However, William was not interested as the detention center was a miserable place to be, and he decided to avoid Hardy's trap.   William decided to make a call to Marcus and it was swiftly connected, "Mr. Howard!" "Have you get ahold of the motive of the keyboard warriors that were hired by Hardy?" Marcus replied, "It seems that Hardy is desperate to force you into jail based on me and President Saunders' opinion. What do you think?" "I think so, too, as I reckon he is to make a move on me at the detention center. Hence, I have decided to not grant his wish to avoid wasting my time. Let's now commence with our plan to get rid of Hardy!"

The man was speaking softly but it sounded as loud as thunder to Hardy. He was taken aback and asked, "How is it possible? How do you know that Declan is still alive?" "It doesn't matter now. William will be off the hook and our plan has gone down the drain. You may also have to bear the consequences." Hardy's mind went blank and cussed after a while, "You clearly told me that Declan would be dead and it was you who came up with this idea. You f*king..." "Young man, do calm down as we do things one step at a time. My plan is perfect but something unexpected has occurred. I have underestimated William and it is my fault. However, shouldn't you take a good look at yourself? You are at B City but have no idea about it. This would not have happened if you knew that Declan was not dead from the very beginning, right?" Hardy exploded with anger, "Didn't I f*cking followed your plan accordingly? I have overestimated your intelligence and you are going to get me into tr

Raelyn opened the door swiftly and glanced at Natasya with a surprised look on her face. "What?" "Uncle is still alive. Have a look at this video!" Natasya showed the footage of Declan to Raelyn. Raelyn was stunned upon seeing Declan was handcuffed and got out of the car. She then asked, "What's going on? What the hell is happening? How could he still be alive?" "Mom, what are you talking about?" Natasya instantly knew that Raelyn was hiding something and asked, "Aren't you relieved to know that uncle is safe and sound?" "What? He is already on death row and he will do us good if he is dead. But now..." Raelyn had a sullen look on her face as she gritted her teeth and said, "Nothing bad has happened to your uncle would mean that William is being wrongly accused. Does that mean that our efforts have turned to dust?" "You're right. Hardy's media company, Mexicorp, would be in big trouble! I dodged a bullet by not revealing everything when I called Will
