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
Bobby finally agreed to come back after hearing William's words, but he was still not at ease. Silas had been investigating Jacelyn's matter for several days, but there was no news at all. Was there no progress at all? There was no trace of Jacelyn after she disappeared that year, so wasn't it too suspicious for her to suddenly appear now? The key point was that Bobby had described Jacelyn as a kind and selfless person, but William felt an uneasy feeling when he met her in the hospital. Could time really change a person? William called Silas as he thought of this. "How's the investigation going? Or is there no news at all?" "Sir, I found something. Jacelyn has a twin sister named Jacqueline and they look so similar that most people can't tell them apart." It turned out that she had an identical twin. William frowned and said, "So the person who caused the car accident was Jacqueline?" "It should be. I heard that Jacelyn passed away in an accide
Francis's expression changed when he heard this and his pupils dilated in shock. However, Evelyn did not find anything strange in his behaviour because she was simply too angry. From Evelyn's point of view, it was more acceptable for Azalea to be labeled as Francis' mistress than his illegitimate daughter. Azalea was nothing but a piece of trash with a horrible reputation. How could she be worthy of being Francis's illegitimate daughter when she was involved in so many disgusting scandals? This was simply an insult to the Gurney family. Evelyn said angrily, "They also uploaded an article saying that you had recognized Azalea as your daughter in a voice recording." As Evelyn spoke, she opened her phone and played a recording. "It sounds so fake, but where did they find an actor with the exact same voice as you?" The recording was taken when Francis and Azalea had hugged each other while they cried, and Francis could tell that it wasn't fake immediately afte
Frederick's eyes flashed when he heard this. "Sir, why don't I ask Thomas for help? Last time, he used the Floyd family's public relations team to suppress Miss' scandal. I can ask him if he can help this time as well." Francis nodded immediately and said, "You're right, how could I forget about him? Call Thomas immediately and suppress the matter regardless of how much it costs!" Frederick looked for Thomas' number and made a phone call in front of Francis. Thomas sighed and said, "It's not a matter of suppressing the news. If you want to calm it down, I'm afraid that you'll have to talk to Richard. Since the Clark family is fanning the flames, the news on the Internet will definitely not disappear so easily. I think Francis would have to find Richard and offer him a large sum of money." Frederick glanced at Francis, who also knew that he had to settle this with money. It was better to make peace in private and settle this matter than pay a legal compensation fee.
Madelyn sat on the ground for a long time before she struggled to get up and walked out of the identification centre. She felt empty as she walked out of the gate and she didn't know where to go. She used to follow Angel around because she felt that she had a chance to live a luxurious life. However, Madelyn couldn't see any hope at all after being scolded and beaten by Angel every day. She could bear all of it because she used to treat Angel as her daughter. However, why should she endure such torture if she knew that Angel wasn't related to her in any way? Angel was such an ungrateful person that she would never plead with Madelyn to stay. Madelyn felt that she could no longer serve Angel when she thought of this. Her life could be so much more enjoyable without having to serve another, and she could do whatever she wanted as well. Just as she thought of her freedom, she suddenly remembered that her savings had been spent by Angel. She wouldn't hav
The woman was stunned. She was only planning on reconciling with Bobby, and she didn't even expect that William would ask her to pay a compensation fee. Didn't they say that William was very rich and generous? She was told that William wouldn't ask her to pay for the medical expenses and the car repair fee, so why did he suddenly mention this? The woman was stunned for a moment, but she saw Bobby looking at her in a daze out of the corner of her eye. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes... Since you've been so kind to me, I will find a way to compensate for your losses." "I didn't intend to ask this from you, but I won't refuse since you're so persistent. After all, everyone has their own self-esteem." William looked at the woman on the ground sarcastically. "Well, you can compensate me with five million dollars first. My car needs to be sent back to the factory to be repaired, so it may not be enough." Five million dollars was an astronomical figure for the wom
