In the Clark family, Anna yawned and went downstairs. She saw Helen wipe her tears as she sat on the sofa in the living room. She was shocked, so she walked to Helen quickly. "Helen, what's the matter? Don't cry. Tell me what happened, okay? Who pissed you off? Did Richard do something that angered you?" As Anna spoke, she grabbed some tissues to wipe Helen's tears. Then the latter grabbed her hand and broke into violent sobs. "Anna, I miss Abbie! I miss her dearly!" Helen was missing Abbie. Anna had no idea as to how to comfort her. After all, Abbie was the unspeakable pain in Helen's heart. Anna could only hug Helen as she patted her gently on the shoulder. The latter cried while saying, "I dreamed of Abbie. She was calling out to me from a desolate place. She asked me to save her. I tried my best to grab her, but I couldn't get a hold of her. Oh, my poor Abbie. She must feel very miserable." "Helen, the dream is usually the opposite of reality. Abbie is
The driver found a place to park the car. The car of the Clark family stopped as well. When Valeria opened the car door, Anna had already gotten out of her car. She ran over to the former. She was shocked to see that Valeria was not the only one in the car. The nanny and the children were there as well. Hence, she asked, "Valeria, are you bringing the children around?" "Yeah, hop in." Helen got out of the car as well and came over with an apologetic look on her face. "Valeria, Anna has lived overseas for a long time. She is a little tactless and she never feels embarrassed. Is it okay for her to go back with you?" "It's totally fine. Don't worry about it. I'll take good care of her." Anna chimed immediately, "Valeria, I don't need you to take care of me. My legs are healed already." It was obvious that she didn't understand what they were saying at all. Helen felt frustrated as she didn't know what to do with her. She heaved a sigh. "I'll leave her to you,
William strode to the car and instructed Bobby, "Head to the mansion." Bobby agreed and started the car. Meanwhile, William began to call Natalie. "Natalie, are you free now?" "Yes, I am. What is it, William?" Natalie asked. "Its nothing serious. I'm hoping to treat you to a meal." "Sure." Natalie agreed readily. "Your father-in-law is here too. Let's meet up. Just tell us the location." "It's our house then. Valeria has brought the two children back to the mansion. Dad said that lunch will be served. You and Archer should come and meet everyone." Natalie agreed without much deliberation. After hanging up the phone, William received a message on his mobile phone. It was from Raymond. "William, I'll have a big surprise in the form of a gift for you today. Wait for it!" William narrowed his eyes and let out a smile. He replied with a message, "Thank you, Raymond! Can you tell me what gift it is?" "No, it's boring if I tell you now. But I'm
Upon hearing Marcus's words, Raymond retorted curtly, "Who told you that, Assistant Field? You are a man, not a woman. How can you talk nonsense before confirming the truth?" "Mr. Saunders, why are you so mad? Who said that I haven't confirmed it? The staff in the hotel has reported to me that you brought a woman with you. Are they lying to me?" "It's true that I took someone there, but why would you think she is my girlfriend?" "Is she not your girlfriend? You did come to our office and take her away in a hurry, didn't you? Besides, when she left, she told everyone that you were her boyfriend. Isn't this right?" Marcus asked again. "Marcus, don't talk nonsense with me. I have a question for you. Where is William? I need to talk to him urgently." "Ah, you mean Mr. Howard. I think he went out for lunch, didn't he?" "I know he went out for dinner, but I have no idea where he is. Tell me his location quickly if you know about it." "Sorry, I'm also
After Archer parked the car at the entrance of the Wolf Group, he saw Raymond and a tall, bulky young woman walk out of the hotel. She was talking to Raymond with a nice smile, but he seemed absent-minded. After spotting Archer and Natalie's cars, he quickly walked towards them with her. Archer and Natalie got out of the car at once. Raymond brought the woman there and introduced her to them. "Mom, Dad, this is Anna!" "Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Saunders!" Anna greeted Natalie and Archer immediately. The duo smiled and nodded their heads. Natalie was surprised because of Anna's looks and figure. She failed to pay attention to the name that Raymond had deliberately mentioned when he introduced her to them. What was the relationship between Raymond and this overweight, stocky, and average-looking girl? Natalie had never heard about such a person among Raymond's friend. Was she a client? What was Raymond thinking by bringing a client here to say hello?
When Natalie returned to the company with Archer, the angrier she became thinking about what happened then. Natalie grumbled, "Raymond had gone too far. How dare he try to deceive us. We can't let him go on like this. I need to send him on a blind date." Archer shook his head with a smile and said, "Honey, you'd better not meddle with his affairs. Just let him be." "You can't let him do whatever he wants! Do you really want to see him live alone for the rest of his life?" Natalie firmly disagreed. Archer sighed and said, "I don't think Raymond is at fault here. You might have... misunderstood him today." "I've misunderstood him? Why do you say that?" "I think the girl Raymond met with today is the girl that William introduced to him." Natalie did not believe it at all. "Why do you think so?" "I can tell from my intuition! Raymond might have offended William somehow, so he pulled this prank on Raymond." "William is not that kind of person.
Raymond was stunned and did not dodge. The cup went straight at Raymond's head and slammed onto his forehead before dropping onto the ground and smashing into pieces. The intense pain finally brought Raymond to his senses. He stopped staring at Anna and felt liquid dripping down his forehead. When he reached out to touch the liquid, he realized it was his blood. After hitting her target, Anna scolded furiously, "You jerk! How dare you peep at me? I'll kill you!" Raymond's face and hand were covered with blood, and he regained his senses. He hurriedly explained, "I'm not peeping... I..." "You're not peeping? Then are you admitting that you're trying to harass me? Call the police! We have to call the police and have this pervert arrested!" Anna gnashed her teeth in anger. Although she grew up abroad, she was not so open-minded. It was frustrating for her that a jerk had looked at her naked. So she wanted to call the police. When the person in charge he
Hearing Raymond's words, Anna almost jumped up in shock. "William is married to your sister? Doesn't that mean... mean that you are Valeria's brother?" Anna's eyes were opened wide with surprise as she stared at Raymond. But as Raymond's face was covered in blood, she couldn't see the resemblance. Seeing that Anna was staring at him, Raymond could only explain, "I'm Valeria's brother! I truly am!" Anna still didn't believe it. "How is this possible? Valeria is such a nice person. How could she have a shameless brother like you? I don't believe it! I would never believe it!" Raymond didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ms. Taylor, this is a misunderstanding. I'm not shameless. I just..." "Just what? Didn't you already do so many despicable things? You were harsh and rude at the restaurant that time. Then you hung out with that disgusting scumbag, Michael. And today, you did something even more out of line!" Anna was furious when she recalled Raymond
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
