Callum said angrily while he grabbed the phone on the table and called Richard, but he hung up when no one answered. "I can't get to Richard! I'll meet him tonight and he must give me an explanation for this!" It didn't take much effort to persuade Callum to come forward. Angel was secretly happy, but she also knew that Abbie was untouchable in the Clark family. Even if Callum went to find Richard, it was hard to say whether Richard would deal with Abbie or not. This matter could not be solved just by looking for Richard, so she had to force Abbie to apologize to Azalea. Wasn't Abbie an arrogant person? She would rather die than apologise to Azalea. Angel thought about it and immediately said, "Dad, Abbie is so arrogant. I don't think Richard will do anything to her even if you meet him." "You're right. Abbie can do whatever she want because her family is backing her up. Richard will just argue with me if I meet him and he may not do anything to Abbie. In your o
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
William agreed and grabbed his phone to call Fandrey. "Grandpa, did Angel complain to you?" "No, but she complained to Callum and she wanted him to stand up for her. Callum is not foolish at all, so how could she deceive him? He just answered her nonchalantly and told me about it." Fandrey didn't plan on standing up for Angel at all, so William was relieved and said, "Tell Grandma about it. She's very close with Valeria now, so she'll definitely feel uncomfortable if she knows about this." "Don't worry, I'll tell your grandma. I told your grandma about what Angel did in the past, in case she still has delusions about Angel." Fandrey hated Angel to the extreme because she betrayed him and colluded with Ornard to frame the Floyd family. William understood Fandrey's feelings, so he hung up after a few words. Fandrey stood up and left the study to look for Deborah, who was watching variety shows in the living room. Fandrey walked over to her side and sat down,
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."
Richard didn't know how to react when he saw this. He then quickly rushed up and grabbed Abbie's microphone before throwing it aside. "Stop! Stop yelling. Don't you know that your voice will be damaged?" "Richard!" Abbie leaned on Richard and said in a hoarse voice. "I'm hungry. Please treat me and Valeria to a meal." "Alright, I'll treat you to dinner." Richard reached out and touched Abbie's face while he said softly, "Does it still hurt?" "It hurts! How can it not?" Abbie leaned on Richard coquettishly, "But I am very happy today! I managed to beat up that bitch, Azalea. It was so satisfying!" "You!" Richard shook his head. He was still worried about Abbie on the way here, but he was relieved when he saw her like this. Although Abbie was furious, she would be fine as long as Valeria was around. It was no exaggeration to say that Valeria's position in Abbie's heart was even higher than Richard or her mother. Richard looked at Valeria and smiled. "Stop pl
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
Valeria was shocked by Bobby. "No, I didn't. I brought the fruits here to share with both of you after I took a shower. What's wrong?" William stopped Bobby with a gaze and pulled Valeria into his arms with a smile. "Dear, did you really not eat any fruits?" "No, I didn't. Am I the kind of person who would steal food? Let me tell you, Grandma sent these fruits in the afternoon and she said that it was just delivered from abroad. I thought of how hard you've been working, so I didn't eat it first. I wanted to wait for you to come back so we can eat together." "My dear wife is so good to me and I'm relieved that you haven't eaten any." William motioned for Bobby to take the fruits to one side. Valeria was anxious. "Honey, what are you doing? Are you trying to take my fruits away? I'm telling you, there aren't many and I've given some to dad. The rest are all here." "If you want to eat it, I'll ask someone to buy it for you. Don't eat any of the fruit on this
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
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
