Abbie laughed when she heard Meadow's long explanation. "Mrs. Davis, are you out of your mind? How can Azalea be the daughter of the Floyd family? Does she deserve it?" "Who else would be worthy? Let me tell you, the Floyd family has already brought her into their home. Since she has such a high status now, Michael will definitely marry her." Meadow continued, "My father-in-law has agreed, and so has Michael's father..." Abbie didn't believe any of it because Meadow was a wicked woman that liked to deliberately sow discord. Abbie interrupted her directly. "It's Michael's choice to marry the person he loves and it's useless even if the whole Davis family agrees to it. Everything will depend on Michael's decision in the end!" "Who told you that Michael wouldn't agree? He has always had feelings for Azalea, but they broke up because you shamelessly hooked up with him. Don't you have any dignity? The Davis family will never allow a shameless woman like you to marry
Paisley went to Wolf Group early in the morning without an appointment and said that she had something important to discuss with William. Paisley had already made up her mind. Ornard was unreliable and he would definitely kill her after this matter was over. She still wanted to live after getting the money, so William was the only one who could help her. William basically guessed Paisley's purpose when he heard that she wanted to talk about important cooperation with him. He met her in the reception room after that. The secretary closed the door and left after she brought tea in. Paisley spoke first, "Mr. Howard, I want to discuss your company's development with you." "Ms. Anthony, please go ahead." "I won't hide it from you, Mr. Howard. I stole the city construction project from the Floyd family by using underhanded means. I thought I could make a lot of money, but I didn't expect this to happen. It was my mistake to misjudge the situation and I don't hav
Meanwhile, in the Clark family, Richard hurriedly got out of the car and entered the living room. "Mom, I have so much work to do in the company. Why can't you just tell me over the phone?" "You can leave now. I have something to say to Richard." Helen asked the servants in the living room to leave. "Come and sit down, I have something important to tell you." Richard sat down and said, "Hurry up. I have to go back to the company." Helen frowned and said, "Richard, I asked you to come back because I need to tell you about Abbie. You have to find a way to solve her problem because this can't go on!" "Mom, didn't you promise me that we'll discuss this after some time?" "Yes, but they are all bullying me now. They've insulted me so much that I feel so ashamed. I've never been humiliated like this, so you have to solve this immediately!" "What do you mean? Did Meadow call you again?" "Yes! I can't even bear to show my face in public after I keep get
Meanwhile, Deborah and Azalea were having lunch at the dining table in the Floyd family. Unlike yesterday, the atmosphere today was very dull. Deborah kept a straight face and said nothing while Azalea tried to talk to her. "Grandma, I..." "Miss Clark, don't talk when you're eating!" Azalea's face flushed red because Deborah had said this deliberately. Why was it fine for her to chat with Azalea during their meal yesterday? This was all because Oscar, that damned bastard, hated her. Since Azalea knew that Deborah hated her, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and eat. Deborah didn't care what Azalea was thinking. She had been looking forward to seeing Azalea before, but now she was just disappointed. Her stomach would lurch in disgust each time she recalled Azalea and Oscar's sickly sweet interactions. Deborah then pushed her cutleries aside and got up to leave the dining room. Azalea felt as if she had been slapped in the face in public when
Lincoln's car stopped at the entrance of Wolf Group Hotel. He still felt upset after losing the bet today when he got out of the car and entered the hotel. Did William cooperate with that beautiful woman to set him up? Since William smart and capable enough to do something like this, Lincoln was convinced that this was the case. If he could find that woman and ask her about it, he might be able to get something out of her. However, that woman would probably stay silent about the whole matter if she was really cooperating with William. He was lost in thought as he got out of the car and entered the hotel. When the elevator door opened, Evelyn walked out with an unhappy expression as well. They bumped into each other and their eyes widened at the same time. "It's you?" Lincoln and Evelyn both felt a little embarrassed when they coincidentally said the same thing. Lincoln wanted to know if Evelyn and William were partners, so he asked her with a b
Wayne called Callum after he gave Meadow some orders. "Mr. Floyd, I need your help with something." Callum was not very enthusiastic about the cooperation with Wayne before this, but he changed his mind when he knew that Azalea had done something so disgusting. He replied politely, "You're being too polite with me. You can just tell me what you need." "Alright then, I want to take the next step with Michael and Azalea's matter, so I hope you can find some time to meet Michael." "No problem. You can decide the time and tell me the details." Wayne was relieved when Callum readily agreed to his plan. He did not intend to fall out with the Clark family, but he had no choice but to choose sides. The Floyd family had William's support while the Saunders family was backing William up as well. Hence, the Floyd family was much better off than the Clark Family, who had always stood alone. Therefore, he had no choice but to go aginst the Clark Family. Meadow wa
Deborah chatted with Valeria for a while before she hung up. She then turned to look at Azalea, who was sitting on the sofa obediently, and said lightly, "I would be able to find a lot of potential teachers if I were abroad. However, I haven't been staying in this country for long, so I don't know many people. This is why I asked your cousin-in-law to help me find a teacher. She agreed and I'll receive news in the next two days. You should learn as much as you can from the teacher. Remember to not be arrogant or impatient, alright?" "Understood! Grandma, don't worry! I will definitely study hard!" Azalea was extremely unwilling in her heart, but she did not dare to refute. Azalea was so dejected when she thought of the scolding she had to endure that she only sat in Deborah's room for a few minutes before leaving. Azalea closed the door and kicked the sofa angrily when she was back in her room. Why the hell did she need to learn etiquette? She had come to the Fl
William frowned as he read the message. Who was the one who had given Evelyn his number? However, Evelyn sent a second message before he could figure it out, "You should put off all your plans at night because I want to treat you to dinner. I'll wait for you in the Wolf Group." Had Evelyn gone mad? Why did she think he would have dinner with her? Who gave her the confidence to think so? William ignored her and directly blocked her number. William ordered Bobby to stop the car when they drove past a dessert shop because he wanted to buy Valeria's favourite dessert. Valeria walked out while she held her tummy when they got home. She licked her lips when she saw the dessert in William's hand, but she had a bitter expression on her face. "Honey, how can you do this to me? I'm so fat, but you still bought dessert for me." "It's okay. I prefer it if you're plumper!" William smiled and took her hand as he walked in. "It must be tough, right?" "Of course, th
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
