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
Seeing hope, Azalea immediately said eagerly, "Michael, I can persuade my father to cooperate with the Davis family, so that their business can be promoted and the Davis family can advance. I can also ask my father to give me shares and dowry." "What does it have to do with the Davis family's promotion? Are you trying to please my grandpa and my mother? They want to make money for generations to come, but I don't like it. I want the Davis family to close down and let my grandfather and mother become homeless criminals! As for the shares and dowry you mentioned, hah! Are you shameless? Only the real daughter of the Gurney family has shares, so keep dreaming for an illegitimate daughter like you. Well, I have enough money now, so why do I need that much money for?" Michael was stubborn. He hated Wayne and Meadow, and was not interested in the development of money and company at all. Azalea felt a lot of pressure. How could there be anyone in the world who didn't like m
Azalea called the police. The police soon came to the hospital for an investigation and then went to the place where she was beaten to check the surveillance. On Francis' side, he arranged for public relations to start with the hot trending search online. The headlines were very exciting, especially describing that a pregnant woman had been beaten violently and cruelly. She bled on the spot and was sent to the hospital for rescue. The picture showed the close-up of Azalea's swollen face. It was also mentioned that the woman who beat up the pregnant woman was the daughter of a rich and powerful family. She was arrogant and domineering, ignoring the laws and rules. The headlines and pictures were the most eye-catching. People sympathized with the weak. When they saw that a pregnant woman was beaten like this and it was the daughter of a rich and powerful family who did it, they immediately thought it was bullying. Most of the young women were kind people, a
At this moment, Michael was talking to Francis on the phone. He knew that the trending search could no longer be controlled. Needless to say, Francis was the one who did this. Michael did not want to talk too much with Azalea, so he went straight to Francis. When the phone was connected, he asked Francis, "Did you arrange for the trend? What are you trying to do? Why are you trying to distort the facts? Azalea is fine, so why are you exaggerating?" "Fine? Azalea is pregnant with your child. She was beaten like this when she's pregnant. Don't you have any intention of venting your anger for her?" Francis asked. "She did such a murderous thing and the girl from the Clark family only slapped her a few times. It's much better than her killing someone. The slap means nothing!" "Killing someone? Michael, you're a lawyer yourself, and your words must be justified with evidece! Or else, I can sue you for slander!" Francis spoke in a bad tone. "Sue me for slander?
It took Abbie a while to regain her senses. "If my brother can't settle this matter, how much of an impact will it have on the Clark family?" "Don't worry, it will definitely be alright! If your brother can't handle it, your best friend Valeria and her husband William will help you as well. You just have to trust me that nothing will happen." Abbie looked at Leonard's handsome face. Since it could be settled so easily, why did Leonard have to tell her about this to make her so worried? She didn't believe that Leonard had saved her because he liked her. Although he had been gentle and patient to her to the point that she could not find fault with him, she still found it hard to believe him. Besides, she had always been wary of him. What was his purpose in doing this? Meanwhile, in the hospital, Francis had specially arranged for four bodyguards to watch over Azalea in case someone barged in. When a masked nurse pushed a medicine cart to the door of the ward
William waved his hand and said, "The video will be released, but not the whole thing. I'll release the edited version." "Why?" "We'll torture them slowly since it's meaningless to destroy them in one blow. Besides..." William paused for a moment and said, "Francis and Azalea have made such a big deal out of this. Don't you want to get back at them and let them suffer the wrath of all these netizens?" "Of course! Tell me about your plan." Raymond knew that William was the best at dealing with people. Since William had decided to deal with Francis and Azalea, his scheme must be even larger than usual and the result would definitely be satisfying. "It's better to leave this matter to the police. We should hand over the first part of this video to the police who are handling the case and let them find the doctor who was bribed by Azalea. Then, the doctor would have to personally confirm that Azalea didn't suffer from any major bleeding or lose consciousness.
When the netizens under the Gurney family began to retaliate again, the suspicion that the police had been bribed by the Clark family was spread on the Internet vehemently. Azalea anxiously browsed the news on her phone because the matter was getting even more intense than before. What was going on? Why didn't Michael reveal that she was Francis' illegitimate daughter? What was on his mind!? Azalea was extremely anxious when she saw that Michael hadn't made a move even though the situation had developed to this point. He probably didn't consider revealing her identity to suppress the news after all. Since Michael didn't tell the media that she was Francis' illegitimate daughter, she couldn't possibly contact the media herself either. She was even contemplating using a burner account to expose her relationship with Francis and attract some attention. While Azalea was still in a dilemma, one of the Gurney family's helpers pushed open the door and came
Madelyn heard Danya laugh just as she was thinking. "Is she sick in the head? How could she treat Angel as her daughter?" "It's because she replaced her daughter with Emily's child, but she didn't know that Ornard had asked Gurmisran to do the same thing. She assumed that Angel was her daughter, but she didn't know that her daughter had been replaced by Gurmisran from the start." "She's really pathetic. How can she treat an outsider with such loyalty and care when her own daughter is dead?! Unfortunately, Angel is an ungrateful person. If she really had some compassion in her, she would never treat Madelyn like utter sh*t." "We can't be too greedy in life. After all, what goes around will definitely come around. There will always be someone ahead that's plotting your demise." Madelyn didn't expect to hear this. She really didn't believe that Angel was not her daughter, but Paisley and Danya had a point. It was impossible for them to know that she had changed her
