The assistant jumped in fright after hearing Leonard's words. "Are you going to give her... a medicine for her to lose her memory?" "What else is there? I did not make such a fuss to save her merely out of kindness. I just thought that if I did save her, she'll obey me and help me persuade Richard. I would be her savior, and by the time comes for me to be against William, Richard would not interfere because I saved his sister's life. That way, my chances of winning would be much higher, wouldn't it?" Only then did the assistant know why Leonard had saved Abbie. Leonard was indeed full of schemes! The assistant reminded Leonard, "But this drug is very harmful to the body. Miss Clark hasn't recovered yet. What if something happens to her after she takes it?" "I've already considered this. I have a way to let her take the drug and ensure that she won't get hurt at the same time." The assistant was surprised when he heard this. "Is there such a drug?" "Yes, I
In the Gurney family, Francis grinned when he saw how Azalea and Michael's news were everywhere. With the news going viral, the Davis family was in a dilemma. If he could provide Wayne with more benefits, this matter would be a done deal. Azalea marrying Michael would tie the Davis and the Gurney family together perfectly, and he would have done his job for his wife and son. As he thought of this, Francis immediately called Frederick over. "You've done well this time, but you need to up your game. Wayne likes Chinese calligraphy and painting. Go pick a good inkstone and some famous calligraphy works. I'll visit him in a few days." Frederick obeyed as Francis asked him again, "If the Davis family agrees to let them get married, they will certainly make conditions. Do you think they will ask for dowry?" Frederick replied, "Mr. Davis and Meadow are greedy people. They will always make things difficult for us unless we move them with irresistible conditions."
Hearing Michael insulting Azalea in front of Anastasia, Azalea's face was flushed red and pale at the same time as she felt extremely embarrassed. She couldn't do anything to Michael, so she could only glare at Anastasia fiercely. Anastasia looked at Azalea with a smile and said, "Miss Clark, didn't you hear what Michael said? You're from the Gurney family, so you should go back there. Why are you here in Michael's house? You're ruining Michael's reputation for no reason. Hey, did you order the tabloids to write those gossip yourself? Do you want to use them to force Michael to marry you?" "Does she think I would marry her because of some sh*tty news? Is she out of her mind? Or are the people behind this out of their minds?" Michael sneered. Azalea blushed and immediately denied it. "What nonsense are you spouting? I don't even know how this got out." "Since you didn't spread it out, why don't you clarify it?" Anastasia said aggressively, "As long as you,
Michael arrived at the place where he was meeting Francis, where Francis had already been waiting for 15 minutes. Waiting was the hardest to bear, and Francis had thought that Michael was going to stand him up. He was about to call Michael again when he saw Michael coming in and said, "You're here!" "What can I do for you, Mr. Gurney?" Michael sat down. "Have some tea!" Francis smiled and asked Michael to drink tea. "This restaurant has very fine tea. Michael, have a try." Michael smiled faintly. "I don't like drinking tea and don't know much about it. In fact, I prefer coffee more than tea." "I'll have them bring you some coffee!" Francis' attitude was very good, but Michael waved his hand and said, "There's no need. I'm afraid I can't fall asleep if I had coffee now. Mr. Gurney, let's cut to the chase. I have someone waiting for me at home!" Francis' face froze when he heard this. "I see, I'll get down to business, then. Michael, I want to ta
Abbie had had a long and heartbreaking dream! In her dream, she was still studying abroad, and her brother, Richard, was worried about her, so he specially arranged for his good friend, Michael, to take care of her. Michael treated her very well. He listened to music with her, brought her to the theatre and amusement park, and even bought delicious food for her. When she was angry, Michael would always be there to coax and calm her. His voice was very gentle, and he always looked at Abbie with gentle eyes. Abbie and he felt very happy together. Abbie had never thought that something like that would happen between her and Michael. She had always regarded Michael as her brother and had always thought that Michael regarded her as a sister too. Until one night, Michael had had some wine and kissed Abbie. Abbie was very shocked. She had wanted to slap Michael in the face, but she couldn't do it after she raised her hand. Therefore, Michael took the opport
So, Jacqueline took the pendant and went to find Bobby according to Evelyn's instructions, but was stopped by the security guards at the entrance of the Wolf Group. Jacqueline had no choice but to wait outside the Wolf Group, as the guards did not let her in no matter what she said. A few hours later, Bobby finally appeared at lunchtime. Seeing that Bobby's car was approaching, Jacqueline immediately stepped in front of it to stop it. Bobby looked at her with disgust. "What's the matter?" "I'm here to apologize!" "Apologize? I have nothing to do with you. Why do you want to apologize to me? By the way, is the five million ready? I remember it's way past the deadline!" When Bobby mentioned the compensation for the car accident, Jacqueline blushed. "I'm sorry! I don't have that much money." "If you don't have money then why did you stop my car? Get out of my way!" Bobby was not polite at all. Jacqueline was shocked by Bobby's attitude. He w
In Callum's villa, Angel yawned as she walked downstairs at noon. Recently, Angel always felt sleepy, and she kept having dreams at night. The dreams were those that made someone feel shy and flustered. Last night's dream was even worse. She felt as if she had really been doing those things with a man. When she woke up, there was a strange odor in the room, which made her doubt even stronger. Especially when she found some red marks on her body while washing up, Angel became more suspicious. Did someone enter her room and do something to her? However, she was familiar with the people in the villa, and Madelyn regarded her as her daughter, so she would never hurt her. Gurmisran was Ornard's subordinate, and he was so loyal to Ornard, not to mention he was old and ugly. No matter what, he didn't have the guts to do anything to her, right? Then what about the dreams and the red marks? Angel felt that she must figure out what was going on, so
Aurora's eyes were filled with tears as she didn't believe Ornard at all about the problem with the funds. With so many assets, Ornard could easily sell one of them for millions of dollars, let alone the many companies under his name too. It wasn't that he didn't have money, but he didn't want to treat a useless child. Their child was Ornard's flesh and blood, but he was still this heartless, let alone to other people. She was now able to win Ornard's heart with her youth and beauty, but when she turned old like Veronica, she would be tossed away by Ornard too. At least Veronica knew a lot of Ornard's secrets, so he still couldn't get rid of her easily. However, for Aurora, she had nothing to use against him as she didn't know much about Ornard's secrets. If Ornard decided to leave her, she would have nothing left. The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. How could she have reached an agreement with such a vicious and shameless perso
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
