That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 150 Cunning Woman
Scratching his head, Lucas said, "Sir William didn't expose to Miss Brown who he really is. So Miss Brown thinks that he's just a gigolo from a nightclub." "What! That's ridiculous!" "Miss Brown even sold her jewelry worth 100 million dollars to redeem Sir William from the nightclub." "That is simply absurd! How could the grandson of the Howard family be thought as something so degrading!" Hayden said angrily and was overwhelmed with fury. "Does William even look like a gigolo? With his posture and demeanor, no one would ever think he was one. That woman, Valeria Brown, must have done it on purpose." Hayden didn't believe that Valeria would be so generous to a mere gigolo, "She must have known who William is so she did this to get close to him." "Uhm... I don't think so," Lucas hesitated and said, "Miss Brown seems to be naive. She asked to break up after knowing his real identity. "She's probably just playing hard to get. I know what games wom
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 151 Going Public Comes With A Price
The door shut with a loud bang and Valeria shuddered. Looking at the dishes scattered on the floor, a guilty feeling arose in her heart. Did she say something wrong? She was so angry that she couldn't remember what she had said. William had never smashed anything in front of her. This was the first time he did that and it was frightening! He must have been furious. Obviously, she had offended him today. Whatever then, so be it. It was not as if she expected him to be good to her for the rest of her life. They could just go their separate ways from then on. William left the condominium in anger and he got on his car. He then sped off away from Lake View Nest. He went straight to Wolf Group Hotel. Once he arrived, he met Michael and Richard. They were shocked when they saw his dark expression, "What happened?'' ''I am pissed off! They say that women are unreasonable creatures. I didn't really believe it until today," William answered
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 152 Are You Here For Lunch Or My Head
Once she received her father's call, Valeria rushed to the office. She was prepared to get scolded once she arrived. But instead of scolding her, he smiled when he saw her. He said, "You're here. Let's have lunch together." "Have lunch?" Valeria asked in confusion. She looked at him and wondered if he wanted to have lunch or her head. Ronald was about to explode in anger as he was sure that Valeria was behind this. But judging by how the news had spread, he did not dare to scold her. What he had to do then was to suppress the news. The online rumors had claimed that they had got into a huge fight. So now, he wanted to make sure news of him and Valeria being chummy again would spread online. He held in his anger and pulled Valeria's hand as he walked out. "Come on, let's have your favorite steamboat today." What was happening? Valeria was stiff as she was dragged out of the company. On their way to the restaurant, there were people taking pictur
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 153 About To Be Stolen
Ronald looked at Mr. Anthony like a little kid staring at his favorite chocolates in a candy store. It was evident that he wanted to please Mr. Anthony as well. Valeria was a little dispirited and embarrassed when she looked at her father. She replied gloomily, "I just met him today." "Really? I was wondering why you had never told me about it! Mr. Anthony, Valeria is quite bad at socializing and she has a bad temper. Please forgive her if she offended you in any way." "No, Miss Brown is smart, kind, and cute. It is such a blessing to have a daughter like her," Hardy praised Valeria sincerely. "Really? I was worried that she might have offended you. I'm relieved that you think that way. It's running quite late now, do you want to have dinner together? You can decide on the location, Mr. Anthony." "Dad!" Valeria's expression changed immediately but her father was oblivious to this. "Would you care to do me this honor?" Hardy felt a little dismayed whe
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 154 It Did Not Feel Good
The woman who saved his father was Paisley Anthony. Her face was red with sweat and heat while smiling shyly at him. Seeing this, Hayden was confused, "William, do you know this kind-hearted lady?" William replied, "Yes, dad. She is Paisley Anthony." "Paisley? You're the talented and smart daughter of the Anthony family." Hayden was very surprised. Paisley smiled and said, "Yes, I'm Paisley! But me being talented and smart are just rumors." Paisley was not a spoilt rich kid from a wealthy family. She looked good-natured and easy-going. William couldn't help but take another look at her. Paisley was indeed very beautiful and had a charming charisma to her. She had what it took to make guys fall in love with her. At noon, Michael and Richard were praising her looks and talents. He didn't really think much about it, but now that he was meeting her in person, he finally believed it. Paisley also happened to save Hayden, so of course, William was g
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 155 Hoes Over Bros
William, the playboy that broke hundreds of women's hearts, had been in her bed the previous night. And now, in just a few hours, he had another woman next to him. Valeria was so angry that she wanted to march up to him and slap him to vent her anger. But when she thought about how she had scolded him that morning, and how he left in anger, she felt guilty about it. If she hadn't vented her anger on him that morning, she would have the right to march in and question him. But since she was the one who made things look bad that day, how could she reprimand him? If she did so, she would be laughed by him. Feeling despair, she heard William's charming voice say, "These are Wolf Group's famous dishes. Please have a taste, Miss Anthony." "Thank you!" Paisley's voice was pleasant to the ear. "Wow, is this how it feels when you choose hoes before bros? Why aren't you helping us to some as well?" Richard exclaimed in exaggeration. "Don't you
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 156 A Twisted Mind
She thought that they were still in the restaurant. Never did she expect that they had already left the hotel. William was at the driver's seat while the beauty was on the passenger's seat. Both of them were talking with smiles on their faces. Looking at William's subtle smile, she felt a prick in her heart. She glared fiercely at William. As if sensing her gaze, he looked out the window and stared at Valeria expressionlessly before he started to drive. His car then roared to life and it left the building. Watching William leave, Richard said, "William sure is eager to have fun with the girl. Let's go, Michael." The both of them then left in their respective cars. Valeria was so upset that she wanted to leave the place as fast as she could. However, Ronald had other ideas. He turned to Hardy and said, "It's still early. Valeria, why don't you go have fun with Mr. Anthony?" Was this what a father should say? Valeria was enraged and frustrated, "
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 157 I Like The Rumors
Valeria took a shower once she returned. After that, she took out her phone and saw that Hardy had sent her a friend request on Whatsapp. She accepted it, and Hardy immediately sent her an emoji. Valeria thought that he would be very busy and have no time to reply to her. She only accepted his request out of courtesy, but she didn't expect him to send her a text. She sighed and thought of how humiliating her father was. She felt that she needed to apologize for it. "I'm sorry about tonight, Mr. Anthony. My dad isn't the most reasonable person. Please don't take it to heart." "I didn't, so you shouldn't think too much about it too." Valeria and Hardy were not familiar with each other, so they didn't know what to talk about. They talked about some trivial things awkwardly for a while. It was an embarrassing conversation. So, she ended their conversation with a good night's text. Hardy could feel Valeria's uneasiness through the screen. His

That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1748 The End
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1746 Don't Ever Come Back
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1745 Despise Abbie
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1744 Why Did I End Up Like This
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1743 Not Brave Enough to Commit Suicide
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1742 Embarrassed
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1741 Worth It
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
