Abbie gave Paisley a look over before she turned to William.

They sure looked like a perfect match on the outside. But in other aspects, they probably did not.

William was a rich kid who loafed around while Paisley was a smart and beautiful girl.

Paisley was precious to the Anthony family, so how could they ever let her be with William, a boy that did not have any talents or redeeming qualities?

Perhaps William was the one interested in her and not the other way round. This thought made Abbie felt much better.

"Oh, I've heard a lot about you, Ms. Anthony!"

"Hello, Miss Clark!" Although Abbie did not introduce herself, Paisley could guess who she was when Richard addressed her.

Abbie had always kept a safe distance from beautiful and talented women like her. And she was going to do the same today.

After knowing that the woman was Paisley, she didn't quite believe what Valeria said.

There must be a misunderstanding!

    Abbie was furious, but there was nothing else she could do. Her brother had never been so stern with her, so she had no choice but to listen to him. She had experienced her card getting cut off before, so she didn't want to risk it happening again. She then left Climax Space in annoyance. On her way back, she called Valeria, "Valeria, William is truly b*stard! I just went to Climax Space and checked upon them. I know who the woman is." "Who is it?" "Have you heard of the talented daughter of the Anthony family? Her name is Paisley and she is William's new lover." "How is this possible?" Valeria was shocked. "I thought it was impossible as well, but I had just confirmed it." "Did William admit that he's in a relationship with Paisley?" Valeria asked shakily. "He didn't admit it, but he denied your relationship. When I asked him, he said that you guys have already broken up. Doesn't this mean the same thing?" Abbie didn't want to make

    As Paisley was still pondering over it, the door to the living room opened and Hardy walked out with both hands in his pockets. "You're back?" "Bro, why are you home today?" Paisley asked confusedly. "Why can't I be? Oh, right, who was the one who sent you back?" "It's William Howard!" Paisley answered. "William?" Hardy was surprised. "Why would you think of being with him?" "Why can't I be with him? Do you hate him?" Paisley asked with raised brows. "No, why would I hate him? I just didn't think that he was your type." "Really? What do you think is my type of guy, then?" "I don't know either. However, I heard that no one can resist his good looks and charm. I never expect that you'd be another victim of his. You had better take care of yourself. He's a well-known playboy that loves every woman he meets. You should make sure you don't fall too deep for his charms." "That won't happen. If I fall deeply in love with him, he woul

    Ashley was so angry that she screamed out in anger. Julie, on the other hand, was confused when she looked at her, "What's gotten into you?" "Mom! What have you been planning? If you hadn't done this, dad wouldn't get closer to Valeria. And they wouldn't have met Hardy. It's all your fault. If Valeria really marries Hardy, you won't be able to do anything!" With a livid face, Ashley shouted at her mother. Julie was stunned when she heard this, "Valeria is going to marry Hardy? Are you sure?" "No, but dad is determined. If he decides on it, it would most probably happen." "It has nothing to do with you. Why are you so anxious?" Looking at Ashley's exasperated face, Julie frowned and said, "Keep your temper in check. I can tolerate it if you yell at me, but don't yell at your father." "I just can't stand it! Why is Valeria so lucky? I'm not even half as lucky as her." "Don't you know your dad? He likes imagining these unrealistic fantasies. Besides, ho

    Charles hung up the phone and he went back to the discussion room. Valeria was uneasy as she sat in the waiting room. Charles wasn't a kind person. Would William get into trouble because of him? Should she inform William? She was so worried about him that she couldn't just sit and do nothing. As she decided to call William and inform him about it, she walked out of the room to go to the washroom. As soon as she walked out the door, the lift chimed and William walked out with his hands in his pockets. Bobby was behind him and they walked in the direction of Valeria. She opened her mouth and intend to say something. However, William's expression was cold to the core. He didn't even spare her a glance and he walked past her as if they were strangers. Valeria swallowed back the words that were caught in her mouth. She felt that she was being ridiculous and she almost wanted to laugh at herself. William now had Paisley as his girlfriend, so she migh

    Once they reached their car, Bobby couldn't hold in his laughter any longer and laughed out loudly. "What are you laughing at?" William asked expressionlessly. "I'm laughing at how Hardy was scolded by Marcus in front of everyone. He must be really angry now." "Marcus was indeed telling the truth. He really does put on airs and steal others away for himself," William sneered. Thinking of how Valeria appeared at Hardy's office, William was frustrated even though he had the upper hand in the discussion earlier. Hardy had still stolen his love away, so there was nothing for him to be happy about. William sighed and ordered Bobby, "Let's go!" After William left, Charles left Acma Corporation along with a group of people shortly after. Hardy walked Charles and his assistant to the lift with a confident smile. Once the lift doors closed, his smile immediately morphed into a malicious look as he turned back to his office. Seeing that

    Once Julie hung up the phone, she threw her phone on the sofa in anger. She then shouted angrily, "What type of luck is this? That little witch is on a roll. How did she get acquainted with William Howard and also with Hardy Anthony? Is she that great?" "What should we do now? Are we going to just sit and watch?" Ashley asked. "Of course not. Hardy probably doesn't know about her scandals in the past. We should find a way to let Hardy know about him and William. I don't think he'll still be interested in him after knowing about that." "But we don't even know him well enough. How are we going to tell him these?" Ashley asked. "We should look for Elizabeth Eich. Since we share the same enemy, we can be friends. Let's tell her about what happened between Valeria and Hardy. Mason is in such a bad state while Valeria is having the time of her life. I'm sure Elizabeth would not be happy to see her like that." In the Howard family, Hayden was all smiles in the li

    William smashed the keyboard and monitors so ruthlessly that Elizabeth jumped in shock. She could not help but look at the shattered pieces on the floor in horror. William looked at her coldly and yelled, "Get out!" Elizabeth felt an inexplicable chill with that look. She stood up nervously and scurried out of his office. A mocking smile flashed across William's face as he looked at her retreating figure. Charles and Elizabeth were really shameless. Were they trying to provoke him by using Valeria and Hardy's relationship? Well, he had to admit that he was really provoked! He wasn't just trying to scare Elizabeth. In fact, he did it out of anger. "Valeria, that d*mn woman! How dare she treat me like that?" Elizabeth hurried out and returned to Charles' office. Once she shut the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. "That was scary. William can be really intimidating if he wishes too." "Did he get angry?" "He was livid. I

    In the afternoon, she excused herself by saying she needed to take care of some matters. However, she returned to Lake View Nest. Everything was the same as the day they had quarreled. She didn't clean up that day as she left in a rush. William most definitely wouldn't come back to clean it up. She reminisced the sweet memories she shared with William as she stared at the messy house. There was a pang of hurt as Valeria bent down to clean the mess. After she was done, she walked to the room with heavy footsteps. She could see her suitcase once she opened the door. The luggage was packed when they quarreled for the first time. She sat by the bed and stared into space as she looked at the luggage. The last time she came back to pack her bags, William had rushed to stop her from leaving. Would he do the same this time? She knew that it was only her wishful thinking. William had already admitted that they had broken up. So why would he stop her?

    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
