Emily did not believe that a mother would scheme against her own son, at least she would never do that to Thomas. She remained silent and Azalea continued to cry when she knew that Emily had been convinced. "You should know that the elders of the Floyd family aren't too satisfied with my contract. The relationship between Deborah and Valeria has been very good recently, and she must have told Valeria. Abbie must have learned the truth from Valeria since they're best friends, so she forged an audio clip to frame me. She made me suffer so much, but I can't stand up for myself." Azalea's false accusations were incredible. Emily was so protective of Azalea that she believed everything. "Abbie is so vicious! It's too much!" "Aunt, I've already thought things through. People like me don't have the ability to fight against Abbie, so I can only suffer in silence this time. I accept my fate, and I definitely won't think of doing anything else in the future. I will listen
Michael got up and strode away. When he reached his car outside, he let out a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly. He finally understood why William could be so successful. William wasn't afraid of anything and he knew the best way to deal with each person. However, he had too many worries. If it were not for William's intervention, he wouldn't have the heart to threaten Meadow and he would still be under her control. Meadow could hear Michael driving off and she sighed as she looked at the mess on the ground. Then, she got up and went upstairs. After she entered the bedroom and sat down, Azalea called her. "Meadow, the Floyd family found out that we plotted against Michael last night." "How does the Floyd family know about this?" Meadow asked in surprise. "I don't know. My aunt said that everything I discussed with you was recorded, and the Floyd family also played a video of me pretending to be drunk. My contract has been terminated by the Floyd family!"
Abbie hung up the phone directly after she said that. She firmly believed that Michael called to take revenge for Azalea. She really didn't want to talk to Michael anymore, and she was tired of his calls. Abbie immediately blacklisted Michael's phone number and even blocked him from her WhatsApp. Abbie started the engine after she heaved a sigh. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Who did she provoke this time? Valeria had already told her about Azalea's plot last night, but she didn't take it seriously and she didn't expect that she would be involved. Since there were people discussing this matter, it must have been a huge commotion. She had to figure out what was going on, so she called Valeria. "Valeria, was Azalea's matter publicized?" "No! I wanted that to happen, but it was suppressed by the public relations department of the Floyd family." After Valeria said that, she comforted Abbie. "Although her scandal has not been spre
Gurmisran had specially arranged for people to spread rumours when Abbie went to the gym. He wanted Abbie to find Azalea and further worsen their relationship, but Abbie didn't do anything about it. The news he had spread out was also blocked. Most of the hashtags could not be uploaded, and he couldn't post anything on the forum as well. Everything that had the keywords would be blocked, so Gurmisran was at a loss and reported it to Ornard. "Mr. Laban, there's no way to complete your task." Ornard laughed at Gurmisran's words and said, "I underestimated William. He must've expected someone to make trouble, so he started to put his guard up in advance. Since William has already made preparations, then we can't do anything anymore." "Are we just going to let it go?" Gurmisran asked. "It would be a pity if we don't take advantage of such a good opportunity!" "It's not that, but you don't have to do anything anymore! I'll find someone suitable to deal with thi
Paisley knew that she had no ability to protect herself unless she gave up on the assets of Anthony family, but how could she do that? She was nothing without the Anthony family and the only respectable thing about her was her family. She was too prideful to do ordinary work, so she could not live a hard and simple life. Paisley found that she was really useless at that moment. She had always relied on the Anthony family and Hardy. She didn't want to fall into the trap laid down by Pierre and his mother. The only way she had was to save Hardy and let him keep her safe. As long as she helped Hardy get out of prison, she would have a backup plan. But now, her father had given up Hardy so it was useless for her to ask for help. So far, she could not find anyone that was willing to help her. If no one helped her, how could she save Hardy? She didn't have the power to save Hardy. Wasn't there someone that could help her? Paisley used her uninjured h
Ornard said, "Oh, what's your idea? Tell me about it." "I'm guessing you're quite old from the sound of your voice. Do you have a son? Why don't you consider my marriage with your son and becoming a family? That way, we'll be tied together and we'll be able to carry out the plan together. There won't be anything suspicious among us." Ornard was obviously stunned when he heard Paisley's words. Was Paisley so desperate that she was willing to give up on her pride? He wanted to see what was Paisley's bottom line. Ornard laughed and said, "I'm indeed old, but I don't have a son. To be precise, I don't have children. Ms. Anthony, your idea is good, but it's impossible." "What? Why don't you have any children?" Paisley asked. "No reason." Ornard obviously didn't want to say it. "Do you have a lover?" Paisley asked again. "No, I don't." "You're childless and you don't have a lover at such an old age. It sounds pretty strange." Paisley frowned an
When Fandrey saw William was about to fly into a rage, he used a softer tone and said, "William, I know that you're not on good terms with your uncle. You had a conflict with your uncle last time, but we're still a family. Both of you have the same bloodline, so I don't wish to see both of you falling out with each other." "So? Do you frame my wife without any evidence because of this? Grandpa, do you think you are right?" "That's not the case because Azalea has provided some evidence." "Where is it? Bring it to me! Is it just a one-sided story?" William's face was full of sarcasm. "The evidence was provided by Azalea, but she is not on good terms with Abbie..." "Grandpa, there are too many people to deal with. Do you think it's right to frame others just because she got herself in trouble? What's the point of a lawful system? Do you think everything can be settled verbally?" William's words were harsh and Fandrey could no longer keep a straight face
Fandrey's eyes flashed with a cold glint when he saw Angel going back to her room unhappily. He looked at Callum and asked, "Have you had lunch?" "Not yet. I'm going to go soon, do you want to come with me?" Callum asked. "No, you can take Angel with you. I want to be alone." "Are you still angry? Don't be mad, your health is more important. Let's go eat first," Deborah persuaded worriedly. "Yes, Dad, your health is important so you shouldn't be angry. Let's eat first. I'll go with you!" Callum persuaded him as well. "I know how to take care of myself. You should take Angel out for lunch, I'm going for a walk!" Fandrey stood up and walked out. "Dear, where are you going?" Deborah stood up anxiously. "I'll go out for a walk and eat something on the way! Don't worry, I won't be in trouble." "Do you want me to go with you?" After so many years, she had never seen Fandrey so angry before. How could Deborah be at ease? "No need, I want t
On the day of Azalea's recovery, she was escorted out of the hospital by two police officers to wait for her sentence. She was wearing shackles and handcuffs as she walked through the parking lot. She saw Michael with Abbie, who was holding Emma in her arms. Michael was holding Abbie's waist, ready to get into their car. Seeing that Michael had recovered, Azalea was extremely perplexed. She had learned from the police that Leonard's man had tried to kill her to silence her and knew that Leonard was using her, so she did not regret her vicious behavior. Azalea stared at the child in Abbie's arms and Michael as she started to have vicious thoughts. If the one who got injured that day was Abbie, and if Abbie died, everything would be different now, wouldn't it? Michael would be living a life worse than death. His child would not have a mother anymore, and no one could have what she couldn't. She would be satisfied. However, all of this was just her imaginatio
After Leonard's matter was settled, Richard returned to the Clark family. Abbie wasn't asleep yet and was sitting alone in the living room in a daze. Richard walked to her and sat down. Then, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I can't sleep. Richard, he... he will be fine, won't he?" "Don't think too much. He will be fine." "I don't want anything to happen to him... Richard, I actually hate him very much and have never thought of being with him again. I have suffered enough! Every time I made up my mind to cut all ties with him, something bad would happen like what happened now. Richard, what should I do?" Richard understood Abbie's dilemma. "Abbie, do you still love him?" "I don't know! I hate him! I hate him so much!" "You can't let him go, can you? You and he broke up three times, but he has always been in your heart." Richard sighed. "To be honest, I don't want you and him to start over again. After
It was late at night in Azalea's ward as she lay on the bed and fell asleep with her eyes closed. Three of Azalea's ribs were broken while one of her hands was handcuffed to the hospital bed. The policeman guarding her felt that there was no way she could escape, so he relaxed his guard. The man who was arranged by Leonard's assistant had been waiting for the right moment in the hospital. Then, they immediately entered the ward and attacked Azalea when they saw that the policeman had left. Just as they covered Azalea's mouth and were about to suffocate her to death, a soft voice could be heard by the door of the ward. "Hey! Are you trying to silence her?" The man turned his head and saw that Bobby were taking photos with his mobile phone while Silas was bent over in laughter. Later, Leonard was woken up at 2 a.m. in the morning when Richard and his bodyguards came to visit him furiously. Leonard had already guessed the purpose of Richard's visit as soon as
It had been two days since Leonard's assistant brought Azalea back to the city and she was specially sent here today to attack Michael. Although Azalea hated Michael, she did love him immensely in the past and she didn't want to kill him. The one she hated the most was still Abbie. She had been overshadowed by Abbie since she was a child and she had never won against her before. It was all thanks to Abbie now that she ended up like this. Michael wouldn't deal with her if it weren't for Abbie, and she wouldn't have been driven to a dead end like this. She was going to die in the end anyway, so she wanted nothing more than to drag Abbie down with her. She knew that she couldn't get close to Abbie. Besides, she also knew very well that Leonard wanted to use her to kill Michael so that he could marry Abbie. Azalea acted as if she had been persuaded by Leonard's assistant to attack Michael, but in fact, her target was Abbie all along. She saw how desperat
Azalea looked up when she heard the voice and met Leonard's assistant's gaze in the car. She stopped crying once he got out of the car. "Miss Clark, I've been looking for you everywhere!" Azalea lowered her head frantically when she saw him, but he said warmly, "Miss Clark, get in the car." She didn't know if Leonard's assistant knew about the murder she'd committed, so she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car. He then gave her a bottle of water and some food. Azalea was famished because she hadn't eaten anything for a few days, so she wolfed down her food desperately. Leonard's assistant had been observing Azalea all this time, and he said once she finished eating, "I know what you've done! The police are now looking for you everywhere." Azalea's expression was filled with panic. "Are you going to hand me over to the police?" "No, I'm here to help you." "How can you do that?" Azalea asked in frustration. "I won't be a
It started to rain again early in the morning, which made the air in the mountains damp and cold. Meanwhile, Azalea lay motionlessly on the messy bed. She could hear the child's wailing from outside while Monthel's mother tried to coax the child. However, there was no sign of it ending even after some time. Monthel's mother started to become angry as well, so she scolded the child and eventually began to target Azalea again. "Why are you still lying in bed at this time? I've never seen someone as lazy as you. A wife should get up early in the morning to cook, but you are the only one who will laze around like this!" This was not the first time that Azalea had been scolded. Monthel's mother had begun to pick on her the second day after she arrived. Azalea would fight back initially, but she no longer dared to talk back after she was slapped in the face by Monthel. Monthel's mother cursed outside for a while. Then, she lifted the curtain and came into the ro
Leonard's expression turned very ugly, but Richard did not give him a chance to even catch his breath. "After I learnt of your relationship with her, I sent someone to extract the DNA of the fetus in Evelyn's belly and compare it with yours. The results show that she's indeed pregnant with your child, but you can verify it personally if you don't believe me." Since Richard dared to say this, there was no possibility for Leonard to turn the tables. The veins on Leonard's forehead bulged as he was filled with humiliation. He initially wanted to get back at Fandrey by asking him to propose the marriage to the Clark family, but she ended up being embarrased like this. He was furious, but Richard continued, "We are very grateful to you for saving Abbie's life. Although she can't marry you, we can continue to be friends if you want to." What could Leonard say? He had done a terrible mistake, so he couldn't possibly tell Richard that he wanted to cut all ties between t
Abbie tried her best to escape, but it was useless. Michael even kissed her on the face a few times, which made her so angry that her voice trembled. "Michael... F*ck you... I'm going to kill you!" Michael turned a deaf ear to her words because he hadn't been so close to Abbie for such a long time. He missed her like crazy, so how could he bring himself to let her go? Abbie kept struggling desperately, but her physical strength was no match for Michael's. Michael then carried her back to the sofa, which made her furious because she couldn't escape. "Michael, what are you trying to do?" Michael did not answer her at all. Instead, he just hugged her so tightly as if he didn't want to let her go at all. He hugged her for such a long time that her whole body had gone numb. "Michael, what's wrong with you? Let go of me! I can't move!" It was only then did Michael let go of Abbie. Her limbs had already gone numb and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Just t
Michael happily placed the coffee he ordered for Abbie in front of her. "Here, I've ordered your favourite coffee." However, Abbie sneered and picked up the coffee to splash it all over him. The coffee was very hot, but Michael just smiled bitterly and said, "Do you hate me so much?" "What do you think?" Abbie looked at Michael coldly without any affection in her eyes. "My feelings for you have never changed! What happened between me and Azalea is all fake, and I've never had anything to do with her. The news with Anastasia was also fake. I was the one who used her to provoke Azalea, but Leonard made up those news articles to get back at me. I swear, I haven't been with anyone else apart from you!" Abbie let out a cold laugh, "Really?" "I'm serious! I swear that I'm not lying to you!" "There's no need to swear, or else even you'll beleive your own lies." Michael became desperate when it was obvious that Abbie didn't believe him. "What do I have
