Semua Bab That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Bab 1171 - Bab 1180

Hollis nodded and said, "That is correct as per my client's request." Monroe sneered and said, "Five hundred million is not a lot and I definitely can afford it. However..." He let out a few unusual laughs and continued speaking, "Money does not grow on trees. How could you possibly think that I will give your client that much money as compensation fee?" "He is eligible based on the fact that your men had caused harm towards him. My client's reputation has been ruined and his bodyguards are still in the hospital for emergency treatment. You have caused damage in terms of his wealth and mental health. Monroe, don't you think that you should bear responsibility regarding this matter?" "Of course! I should that's for sure! I offered in coming to a peaceful agreement after all. I would have ended in jail otherwise!" Monroe nonchalantly said, "But this amount is rather far-fetched, isn't it? Can't you be lenient a little? How about setting the compensation fee a bit

Meanwhile, in the United States, Ornard was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask while he pretended to faint. He soon heard footsteps from the corridor when the Floyd family arranged for people to bring flowers into the ward. Veronica and Ornard's assistant were waiting in the ward when the Floyd family entered. They greeted Veronica politely, "Madam is here too! I was entrusted by Fandrey and Callum to visit Mr. Laban!" "Thank you for your hard work!" Veronica took the flowers from him and invited him to sit down. The visitor sat down and politely asked about Ornard's condition, "How is Mr. Laban now?" "The operation has been done and the doctor said it was successful. We're just waiting for him to wake up now." "Did the doctor say when he will wake up?" "He wasn't specific about it and it's possible that it'll be during these few days" Veronica replied vaguely. "Well, Fandrey and Callum are very sympathetic to Mr. Laban's injury. The

Sammuel answered, "I went to investigate Madelyn, who was a famous social butterfly when she was young. She loved vanity and she was a typical mean girl. Back then, she mistook the Clark family's driver for a rich man and lived with him. She then gave birth to a girl after he died. The Clark family takes good care of his daughter due to goodwill and Madelyn took a lot of money from them. She didn't get married over the years. Instead, she had been spending the Clark family's money to hook up with random men and completely ignored her daughter, Azalea." "This... how can someone disregard their own daughter?" Fandrey frowned after hearing Sammuel's words. "She and Emily actually share the same traits because Emily doesn't like Angel as well. They are indeed sisters." Sammuel explained, "They are not biological sisters. By the way, Madelyn has never been very kind to her daughter, Azalea. Her relationship with Emily is not very good either, but Emily is close to Azalea."

Ornard saw that Veronica's expression had changed, so he naturally would not pick up the phone. He smiled and asked her, "Why are you so early today?" "What do you mean? What time is it? By the way, why don't you answer the phone?" Veronica asked. "It's not an important call and I want to have breakfast first. What have you prepared for me?" Ornard tried to distract Veronica. "What else? It's chicken porridge!" Veronica answered angrily. Ornard ignored Veronica's attitude and asked affectionately, "Did you cook it yourself? You've worked hard!" Veronica sneered and said, "I'm sick, so how can I have the energy to cook for you? This is made by the servants. You should eat quickly because I have to go back and rest." Ornard smiled awkwardly. "I'll try it." Veronica poured out the chicken porridge and put it in front of Ornard before adjusting his position. After Ornard ate a few mouthfuls, Paisley's message came in again. Veronica felt so u

Madelyn was stunned when she saw Emily's reply, so she immediately replied, "Emily, she is still your daughter. You can't just ignore her like this. She doesn't want to go back, can't you help her if she wants to stay here?" "I can't help anyone! She has nothing to do with me since the Floyd family took her away. She is an heiress and I am an ordinary person. I will no longer have any connection with her. Also, I'm warning you to give up on your schemes, or I'll let the Floyd family know what crimes you've committed. You'll end up miserable once they know that you have evil intentions!" Madelyn still tried to plead, but Emily directly blocked her. Madelyn didn't know how to tell Angel the truth, so she tried to hide it. "My sister should be resting now. I will ask her personally tomorrow." Angel was not so easily fooled, so she grabbed Madelyn's mobile phone and read Emily's message directly. Angel was extremely upset after she read it and she gnashed her
