Richard returned to the villa wearily at one o'clock in the morning while Helen crying as she sat in the living room. When she saw Richard coming in, she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Richard! Where is Abbie?" "Mom, they are still sending people to look for her." "Why haven't we found her after such a long time? Did something happen to her? Is she not coming back?" "Mom!" Richard wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't say anything. Twenty more hours had passed. The ocean surface had violent waves and there were even sharks roaming about. Would Abbie still be able to survive? He couldn't accept the fact that Abbie was gone, but he had to learn to live with it. He couldn't change anything by deceiving himself! Helen burst into tears when she saw the hurt in Richard's eyes. "I shouldn't have stopped her! I wouldn't have done that if I had known that this would happen. I should have let her do whatever she wants and it's all my fault. If I h
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Richard was sitting on the sofa with his mobile phone in his hand. Donald's number was displayed on his phone and Richard had been staring at it for about six hours, but he did not hit the call button. He knew that he couldn't hide the news of Abbie's accident for long, but he didn't know how to tell Donald about it. Donald was very strict with Richard, but he had always doted on Abbie. Could he bear it if he knew that Abbie was in trouble? Helen had fallen ill. He didn't want to see Donald end up the same way, but this was not something that could be hidden under wraps. Richard took a deep breath and called the number on the screen. Donald quickly picked it up. "Richard! What's the matter?" "Dad..." Richard called him once and paused. Donald felt that Richard's voice was obviously different from usual and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to your mother?" "It's not my mom... it's... it's..." "Abbie? W
The bodyguards of the Davis family immediately reported Michael's accident to Wayne. At that moment, Wayne became speechless when he heard that Abbie had disappeared. Azalea must have something to do with Abbie's disappearance. He thought that Azalea was just making a fuss, but he never thought that she would end up killing someone. Azalea's viciousness made Wayne extremely uneasy. It was not a big deal for women to be jealous, but it was different when it involved murder and arson. Michael had never expected Azalea to be so vicious. If she could kill Abbie so mercilessly, she could easily do that to others as well. It wasn't wise for Michael to marry someone so despicable just to join hands with the Floyd family. Wayne began to regret his decision. He had thrown his favourite grandson into the deep end, but he couldn't do anything to reverse the situation. At this point, the Davis family had no way out. After all, Richard and Donald were not fools, and th
William led Braelynn to Helen's ward. Helen was already awake and she was crying as she leaned against the bed while Donald was comforting her. Donald wiped the tears on Helen's face when William and Braelynn came in before inviting them to sit down. William felt sad when he saw how frail Helen looked as she lay on the bed. Donald also looked like he had aged considerably. William didn't know whether Abbie was dead or alive, so he could only comfort her. "Auntie, take care of yourself!" Helen was choked with sobs when she saw William. "Is there any hope for Abbie? Can you tell me that she can come back?" William knew that there was a slim chance that Abbie survived, but he couldn't tell Helen the truth. "Auntie, she'll come back." Helen seemed to have a glimmer of hope when she heard William's reply. "William said that Abbie would come back! Dear, she'll definitely be safe and sound!" "Yes, Abbie is such a good girl and she'll definitely come back. Y
Michael stared at William. He wasn't joking and he looked at Michael seriously. Michael said in a hoarse voice, "Can you really help me?" "Of course! It's very simple if you want to die!" William looked at him indifferently. "How can you die if you jump into the sea with other people watching? You should choose a location with no one around and I can even recommend a few ways to commit suicide. The first way is to cut your wrist. All you need to do is to get up and break the IV drip bottle and use the sharp fragments to cut your wrist. Everything will be solved by then. Do you want to try?" Michael suddenly sat up and reached out to grab the bottle, but William didn't stop him at all. "That's right, you can just break the bottle. I won't stop you." Michael pulled the bottle hard and threw it to the ground. There was a loud crash when it broke into pieces on the ground, so the bodyguard at the door wanted to push the door open to check on him. William shouted, "Get out
Azalea arrived within forty minutes. Meadow was waiting in the living room while Azalea came in with a relaxed expression and greeted her with a smile. "Hello, Aunt Meadow! I haven't seen you for a few days and you look much more beautiful than before!" Meadow was not in the mood to listen to Azalea's compliments. She brought Azalea into her room and lowered her voice. "Azalea, does Abbie's matter have anything to do with you?" "A little!" Azalea replied. "Abbie's disappearance wasn't an accident at all. Were you the one who ordered Josephine to do something to her? Azalea, how can you do something so rash?" Meadow immediately complained. She wanted Azalea to be her daughter-in-law because she wanted the assets of the Floyd family. She was fine with Azalea jealous schemes, but killing someone was too much. To be honest, Meadow also felt that it was too much to have a murderer as her daughter-in-law after she calmed down and thought about it. "A
The police involved in the investigation found that Abbie had received a call from Azalea before she went missing. The Clark family also told the police about the dispute between Abbie and Azalea. They directly pointed out that there was a relationship between Azalea was acquainted with Josephine as well. They suspected that Azalea had ordered Josephine to approach Abbie. The police immediately went to investigate the hotel where Azalea had stayed. Later, they watched the surveillance video of the hotel and found that Azalea had met Josephine before. Azalea became a suspect due to her emotional conflict with Abbie, so the police immediately came over to investigate her. Azalea was summoned to the police station. She refused to admit that she had ordered Josephine to meet Abbie even when she was interrogated by the police. She only said that she was old friends with Josephine and she met up with her to have an ordinary conversation. She just said that she h
Azalea was relieved after she was bailed out by the Davis family because she was very scared when she was taken to the police station. She was calm on the surface, but she was extremely nervous in her heart as she tried to hold herself together. After all, she knew what she had done and it would be terrible for her if she said something wrong. Azalea was afraid that this matter would be exposed to the Floyd family, so she hoped that the Davis family would suppress this matter and not reveal anything to them. Things turned out as she wished and the Davis family took the initiative to ask a lawyer to bail her out. Azalea was free again after she returned to the Davis family's villa. Meadow arranged a room for her, but Azalea didn't forget to pretend. "Aunt Meadow, thank you for bailing me out. I'm not lying to you, I just asked Josephine to provoke Abbie. I didn't want to kill Abbie, but I didn't know that things would turn out like this." "You didn't do it
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
