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.

    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

    Francis widened his eyes in disbelief. "How... how could there be such ridiculous rumours? Who did this?" "I'm pretty sure it was done by the Clark family, and they must have found some clues that Miss has been keeping in touch with you. They used this to get back at you since they don't know that Miss is your daughter. Sir, do you want to clarify your relationship with Miss Clark?" "Let me think about it first!" Francis got up and kept pacing in the room. He would not be able to justify what Azalea had done if he clarified that she was his own daughter. This would greatly reduce the viability of the rumours that Azalea was a victim who was bullied by those rich heiresses. It would be a fair fight if two of the ladies were from wealthy families, and the people who had always sympathized with Azalea would definitely change their stance. It was clear that this matter was not so simple. The Gurney family must have done something behind the scenes to use

    The old servant was out of breath after he explained the story, so Bobby immediately handed him tea. He then drank a few mouthfuls of tea and continued, "Leonard suddenly caught the attention of the Floyd family one day because his features held a resemblance to the family. He was living in an orphanage when he was found by Fandrey, who was doing charity work at that time. He was taken back to the Floyd family after that." "Fandrey then found out Leonard's identity and pitied his background. He felt that he could Leonard should be considered a member of the Floyd family. Since there were very few members in the Floyd family, Fandrey felt sorry for him and prepared to raise him well. Leonard was then sent to a private elite school, where he proved to be extremely smart. He always received scholarships and was ranked among the top students. Later on, he was admitted to the best university. Fandrey wanted Leonard to work in the Floyd family's company after finishing his studies to c

    Abbie remained silent, but she had a vague feeling that something wasn't right. Why did Leonard suddenly want to change places? Moreover, he didn't reveal the slightest hint of his plans before this. What the hell was Leonard up to? Leonard ordered a bowl of cabbage soup and a few dishes that consisted of steamed pork, braised chicken, and steamed dumplings. "You can't eat spicy food, so you can only order these dishes. I'll take you to eat the best hot pot here when you're fully recovered." "Thank you!" Abbie said softly. "You don't have to be so polite to me. I'm actually treating you as my friend, so you can stop being so formal in the future if you feel the same way." "Okay! I won't do that again in the future!" "That's good!" Leonard said with a gentle smile as he placed some food on Abbie's plate. His smile was warm and kind, which made Abbie a little distracted. How could someone with such a pure smile have bad intentions? She must

    Francis was in a hurry to call Frederick when two cars stopped at the gate of his villa. Evelyn jumped out of the first red car and said, "Grandpa, are you here to welcome me personally?" Francis was upset when he saw Evelyn and he asked, "Why didn't you come without telling me first?" "Who said I didn't? Didn't I call you beforhand?" Evelyn retorted. Frederick got out of the car when the back door opened, and Francis looked at him unhappily. "Where did you in the morning!? Did you know that something big just happened at home just now? The helper and bodyguards were taken away by the police!" Frederick's face was full of disbelief. "How could this be? Sir, did the police tell you the reason for that?" "They said that it's for attempted murder!" "What?! This..." Frederick was surprised initially, and he thought for a moment before his expression changed. "This is bad!" "What did you think of?" Francis asked. "Sir, let's go to the st

    Frederick immediately denied it. "He probably wouldn't recognise Azalea as his daughter. How embarrassing would that be for him? He had just sued someone for spreading rumours about him and Azalea, and he even said that he had nothing to do with her. He only liked her and told her to stay at his house because of what Evelyn had done. Wouldn't he be humiliated if he admitted that Azalea was his illegitimate daughter now? He would be scolded and treated as a joke by everyone." Thomas said lightly, "Uncle Frederick, you should think carefully about it. Since he can ignore his daughter, do you think he would care about a housekeeper like you?" "To tell you the truth, I started to worry after seeing his attitude towards Azalea. This is why I'm asking you for help as well. Although I'm not your biological father, I have always treated you as my own son for so many years..." Thomas naturally understood what Frederick meant and interrupted, "Don't worry, I'll help you. I'll d

    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
