Fandrey didn't sound right. William hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is the man who looks like me named Leonard Floyd?" "No, he's not called Leonard Floyd," Fandrey denied it. William asked, "Then what's his name?" "William, don't ask anymore. He is a dead man. You won't gain anything out of this." "Grandpa, just a few days ago, Michael saw someone who looks exactly like me in the States. He told me because he suspects that man is related to me. I've asked my dad, and no one in the Howard family looks like me. That means he comes from the Floyd family. That's why I'm calling you to find out more information." "There is no such person in the Floyd family! I have a call coming in. I'll hang up now." Fandrey was apparently unwilling to talk about the matter and used an excuse to hang up William's call. William had wanted to talk to Fandrey about Leonard, but since Fandrey responded this way, he couldn't continue the conversation. After hangi
At the entrance of the World Trade Center, Richard got out of his car and strode up the stairs. Andrew's voice came from behind. "Mr. Clark!" Richard stopped and said, "I thought I was late, but I didn't expect you to be later than me." "I'm not late. I'm on time." Andrew motioned to Richard to look at the time. "I get it. You're always punctual. You always arrive on the dot." They entered the hall as they spoke and saw Raymond sitting on the sofa. Raymond had a bandage on his head, and he looked lifeless. After Richard beckoned at Andrew, the two of them went and sat down beside Raymond, each at one side. Andrew asked first, "What happened to your forehead?" "I accidentally hit my head," Raymond replied gloomily. "You hit your head? That doesn't look like the case. Did someone hit you? Tell me honestly. Did you get beaten up for doing something wrong?" Raymond lowered his head and avoided Richard's gaze. He didn't dare to look at Richard or An
William didn't even look at Jacelyn. The bodyguards behind him went forward and stopped her. When Jacelyn saw William, she thought she could approach him. But she didn't expect to be stopped by his bodyguards. So she raised her voice and shouted, "Mr. Howard! I am the person involved in the car accident that day. There's something I want to talk to you about..." The bodyguard did not give Jacelyn a chance to continue and covered Jacelyn's mouth straight up. With the children in William's arms, William and Valeria walked past her without stopping. After the two of them left, only did the bodyguard let go of Jacelyn and warn her in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble! This is not a place for you to behave so rudely." "I didn't intend to cause trouble. I only... want to thank Mr. Howard." "You can thank him in your heart. Mr. Howard doesn't have the time to listen to your gratitude." The bodyguard didn't show Jacelyn any sympathy. "Now, please leave!"
Madelyn really didn't understand why Angel would do such a thing. There was only one man in the villa, and it was Gurmisran. Needless to say, the person in Angel's room was him. "Isn't Angel going to marry Richard? Since that's the case, why did she hook up with Gurmisran?" Even if she wanted a man, she should have gone for someone younger. Why the hell would she go for an old man like Gurmisran? The more Madelyn thought about it, the angrier she became. She just stood outside and did not leave. The noise inside lasted for more than ten minutes, and it sounded like clothes ruffling. The door was then opened and Gurmisran walked out while tying his tie. He didn't expect to bump into anyone at all. He was shocked when he suddenly saw Madelyn standing at the door. While Gurmisran was in a daze, Madelyn looked inside. The light beside the bed was on, and Angel was lying on the bed motionless. Angel's shape was too weird as if she
In the Gurney family's villa, Evelyn called Francis early in the morning. "Grandpa, I have decided to visit you tomorrow." Francis disagreed. "Who agreed to let you come over? You are not allowed to come to B City anymore!" "I don't care and I'll come over no matter what. If you don't allow, I'll just go kill myself, since there's no point of me living anymore!" Evelyn threatened. Francis scolded angrily, "Nonsense! If you keep up the ignorance, I will make your parents lock you up." Hearing Francis's words, Evelyn hung up the phone angrily. In the past, no matter what she did, as long as she acted like a spoiled child, Francis' heart would soften down. But now he was indifferent, which was very suspicious. Could that damned woman, Azalea, be playing tricks on him? Why did her grandpa bring Azalea home? Did he take a fancy to Azalea and wanted to... No matter what, she had to go and have a look even if Francis did not allow! Evelyn's c
In the Clark family, Anna yawned and went downstairs. When she saw Richard sitting in the living room, she said, "What a rare sight of you being in here at this hour." Richard looked up and down at Anna and said disdainfully, "I heard that you like Andrew?" "Who told you that?" Anna asked. "It does not matter who I heard it from. I just want to ask you if it's true that you like Andrew?" "More or less. I'm very satisfied with him and he likes me very much too." "How confident. Are you sure Andrew really likes you with that attitude and true colour of yours? Do you know the consequences if he found out that your gentleness and softness is fake?" "What consequences?" Anna asked. "Andrew likes gentle women and he doesn't like women who fuss. You huff all day, and you're so hot-tempered that you get into fights all the time. It would be weird if he still likes you after he found out." "Bro, why can't you see the good side in me? Valeria is
The name 'Michael' made Anna stop in her tracks and looked at the girl in the wheelchair. The woman ignored Anna and spoke in a lowly tone, "I have something important to tell you, it's very important. Just give me five minutes." No one knew what the other person said on the other end of the phone. Azalea hurriedly begged, "Michael, I really have something urgent to tell you to. If not five minutes, then two minutes. Actually, I'm looking for you just to tell you something very important. You'll be very surprised if you hear it." Anna frowned. From her tone, it couldn't be that the woman with heavy makeup sitting in the wheelchair was Azalea, right? She stared at Azalea and looked at her again and again. Anna had seen Azalea's photos before, but recently, Azalea's people had experienced too many things that were different from the previous glorious pictures. She did not recognize her for a while. After staring at Azalea for a while, Anna finally confirmed that
Richard pulled Anna into the car quickly and slammed the door shut. Anna straightened her neck and was not afraid at all. "Bro, I know that you are very angry and that you might wanna scold me to vent your anger. But I don't care and I won't apologize even if you do. I just wanted to hit the crap out of that bitch without any reason." Richard shook his head. "Who said that I was going to scold you? Anna, I know you hit her to avenge Abbie, so I won't punish you. Instead, I even gotta reward you." "Reward me? But isn't that Davis guy gonna sue me? Are you not mad that I created more troubles for you?" "I do, but it's two different things. I punish and reward clearly. So I will reward you for avenging Abbie, but punish you for being reckless. These two will be separated." "Bro, could you please don't reward me or punish me? Just cancel both out." "No! If I don't punish you, you won't remember!" Richard refused directly. "You never think about the conseq
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
