In the hospital, Aurora continued to wait outside the ICU. After Ornard left, he only arranged for his secretary to come to the hospital and never appeared again, not even a phone call. Aurora's heart was filled with despair. As Ornard was ready to let go of the child, what could she do without Ornard's support? She had given herself to Ornard since she was in college. She was only his lover whom he summons to see as he pleased. It was after she gave birth that Ornard began to treat her differently for the last three years. As Ornard seemed to like baby, Aurora thought she could have a better life because of her son and become the only woman in Ornard's life. But this incident smashed her hopes and dreams. She had thought that she would be able to stand firm to endure this life and death situation with her son, but Ornard had already given up everything hastily. Aurora had still fought against Ornard in anger and didn't want to give in when Ornard said he
Emily disagreed with Azalea's words. "Why are you behaving so foolishly? Isn't it normal for the bodyguards to be devoted to their duties and treat you like this when they don't know you?" "I told them I was Mr. Floyd's relative and asked them to call dad's secretary to ask. But he ignored me, attacked me, and even threatened me with a gun in the end. Mom, you must tell dad about this no matter what. If you don't, I will tell him myself. These damned bodyguards have it too easy! They need to be taught a lesson!" "They attacked you?" "Yes, that damn bodyguard hit me. I'm wounded because of this." Emily felt uncomfortable when she heard that Azalea had been hit. Although it was their duty as bodyguards, they were certainly at fault for hitting Azalea and threatening her with guns. Emily felt that she had to tell Callum about this. Emily sent a message to Callum and told him indirectly that Azalea went to the States and was bullied by the bodyguards at the Fl
After Aurora pretended to be unconscious after fighting with Veronica and was sent to her bedroom, she heard Veronica and Ornard arguing in the living room. She thought that Ornard would put Veronica in her place, but Ornard only left the house after smashing things. Ornard didn't dare to have a fallout with Veronica in fear of his secrets that she knew. Aurora knew it was unrealistic to get Ornard on her side now. But since she had already fought with Veronica, she didn't want to continue pretending. She had to take the initiative, and having children was the only trump card she had over Veronica. Aurora then sat up and called Ornard. Ornard refused to answer the call, and Aurora kept on calling. After a few calls, Ornard finally answered viciously, "Why are you calling me? Do you think you have not caused enough trouble for me?" Aurora sobbed and apologized. "I'm sorry!" "What could change even if you apologize? I've told you not to mess with her.
Guns were available everywhere in the States. There were about a few hundred shooting incidents every year, and the severity of the dangers was not to be underestimated. When Michael heard there was a shooting, his first reaction was to hide at a safe place with Abbie. The electricity at the city hall had been cut off, and the staff had closed off the entrance. Only crackling sounds were heard outside. Abbie was extremely scared and curled up in Michael's arms. "Oh no! What should we do now? I'm so scared!" "Don't be afraid. With me around, I won't let anyone hurt you." Michael comforted her. The explosion outside lasted for more than ten minutes before the police arrived. A large number of armed policemen came to maintain the order. After such an incident, the city hall naturally would not be open anymore. Michael took Abbie back to the car safely and left the city hall without stopping. As such an incident happened, they didn't have the mood to get
Azalea sent a few more messages, but Emily kept ignoring her. Azalea was furious. Since both of them did not take her seriously, she would not wait any longer. She didn't believe that Callum didn't care about her, his daughter. Since Emily asked her to wait until morning, then she would wait. If she turned off the phone and did not answer the phone, the servants of the Floyd family would be anxious to find her the next day. So Azalea turned off her phone in a huff, took off her makeup, and went to sleep. But because of the time zone difference, she couldn't fall asleep. She only fell asleep when dawn came. It was not until the afternoon that Azalea woke up. She opened her eyes and immediately turned on her phone to read her messages. She thought that her phone would be flooded with calls, but her phone was empty, and there was nothing at all. Azalea was so angry that she was about to explode. What was going on? She immediately dialed Emil
Veronica's face turned pale. This message must be sent by that person. When she went to buy the drugs, she had done it in secret, and she made sure that there was no one following her. How did the person find out about what she did? Was he trying to trick her? Veronica thought as the second message came in. "The purpose of the drugs you bought is to kill Ornard's fertility so that he can't have sons, right? Don't you think that this is a waste of time?" The other party clearly knew her goal. Veronica gritted her teeth and went all out. "I've asked the doctor. This is the best drug to use, and it's undetectable." "It's undetectable? Haha. Do you think Ornard would drink the soup if you make it for him every day? What would you do if he didn't drink it one day? Would you force him? Even if Ornard drinks it all, there is still a downside to this method. Ornard is not a fool. If he realizes that he is infertile, you would be his first suspect. You can carry on with this p
Azalea hung up the phone and thought through the plan again. Needless to say, Josephine would do her best for the money. And now, she needed to be sure of Michael's movements to make it easier for Josephine to take action. First of all, she had to confirm Michael's whereabouts. In addition to making sure of his location, she had to find a few other people to help her with something else. Since Azalea was alone and unfamiliar with the place, she could not find anyone to help her. So she could only ask Meadow for help. She glanced at the time. It was about five in the morning back in her country. It should not be too early to give Meadow a call. So Azalea immediately dialed Meadow's number. Meadow asked in a sleepy voice, "Azalea, what's the matter?" "Aunt Meadow, I met Josephine." "Who is Josephine?" Meadow was still half awake. "Don't you remember who Josephine is? She's your best friend's daughter. Wasn't she interested in Michael at one point
Michael strangled Josephine, making it difficult for her to breathe. She made a hissing sound. "Mr... Davis... I... I can help you clarify." Michael had not completely lost his mind. He attacked Josephine because he was enraged, but he didn't intend to strangle her to death. Strangling Josephine to death would only dirty his hands. It's not worth taking such a risk for a despicable and shameless wretch like her. There were many ways to deal with Josephine, so there was no need for Michael to do it himself. Moreover, Josephine was right. What he needed now was Josephine's clarification. He needed her to clarify what happened back then so that Richard would know that he wasn't a pervert and he hadn't done anything outrageous. As long as Richard trusted him, there won't be any more opposition from the Clark family. Then, he and Abbie would no longer have to hide. Michael let go of Josephine in disgust. He then picked up the wet tissue on the table and w
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
