Madelyn was startled by her scream while Angel struggled to sit up. She couldn't use much strength after her surgery, so she screamed in pain again. Seeing Angel's shocked, painful, and angry expression, Madelyn was overjoyed inside. That wicked b*tch! It's her turn to suffer, huh? She pretended to comfort Angel. "Miss, you just had surgery. You can't be worked up! Calm down!" How could Angel calm down? She continued to roar and Madelyn couldn't calm her nor did she want to. She had stayed in the ward and waited for Angel to wake up on purpose so that she could tell Angel that her uterus had been removed. She wanted to witness Angel's pain with her own eyes. Angel's reaction was just what she wanted. Anyway, it was not her who was in pain, so Angel could do whatever she wanted for all she cared. She should just rip her wound apart and suffer again, Madelyn thought viciously. Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the ward as Gur
Bobby brought Jacqueline to the room on the left downstairs, where an old and thin woman lay. The old woman was paralyzed and couldn't move. She couldn't take care of herself and had to be helped by others. Jacqueline felt disgusted as she looked at the old woman. Bobby said softly, "This is my mother. You will be in charge of taking care of her from now on. Can you do it?" "I... I haven't taken care of anyone before. I'm afraid..." "You can learn. I'll get the people who took care of her to teach you!" Bobby interrupted Jacqueline directly. A middle-aged woman then came in and greeted Bobby politely. "This is Rosario Albion, and this is Jacqueline Penham." Bobby introduced them to each other. "Rosario, Ms. Penham will stay here from now on. She is new here and doesn't know many things. Please teach her so that she could get used to taking care of my mother as soon as possible." "Alright!" Rosario agreed. "The doctor said that she won't b
Valeria was dressed up splendidly as she greeted the guests with William hand in hand. She wore a fiery red gown that day. Not many people were able to pull off wearing red as they couldn't bring out the color's exquisiteness. But there weren't words to describe how Valeria looked besides she was pleasing to the eye. There was a heart-shaped diamond necklace around Valeria's neck, and the diamond was so big that people were all astounded by it. It shone brightly under the lights and accentuated Valeria's beauty. The guests were envious when they saw the two of them holding hands lovingly. Everyone came forward to congratulate Valeria and William, including Michael. When he came up and talked to William, Valeria's expression instantly became unhappy. However, today was a celebration in Santhos and Cade's name, so she couldn't behave rudely towards Michael in front of all the guests. She could only hold back her displeasure and reminded William. "Honey, we haven't
The photo was not a simple one. In the photo, William was naked as he hugged a woman and lay on a bed. He had an intoxicating expression. The woman's face was censored, but the red mole on her chest was quite obvious. A look of astonishment flashed across Valeria's face as she looked at the photo. She did not believe that William would do such a thing. With William's abilities, people couldn't take photos of him secretly, even if he did sleep with other women. But what about this photo? Who was the woman in the photo? Evelyn had been staring at Valeria ever since she showed her the photo. Valeria retracted her gaze from the photo and looked at Evelyn, who was wearing a low-cut dress today. The red mole on her chest was glaringly obvious. So the woman in the photo was Evelyn? Did Evelyn and William know each other? And had an intimate relationship? Valeria felt that it was impossible. If William had a relationship with Evelyn, would he send someone to
Evelyn was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She didn't want to beg Valeria, but she would be thrown out if she didn't do so. Instead of being thrown out and having people laugh at her, it was better to beg Valeria. At least, there were only the bodyguards, William, and Valeria in the lounge. With this thought, Evelyn no longer felt embarrassed. She immediately turned to Valeria and pleaded, "Mrs. Howard! I'm begging you!" Valeria finally gave in. "Since Ms. Gurney knows she's in the wrong, let her go! You guys make sure she leaves!" The bodyguards watched as Evelyn left from the back door. William sat down next to Valeria and asked, "What's going on?" "She provoked me!" Valeria answered casually. William knew Valeria's temper. If Evelyn hadn't annoyed her, she would never do this. He wrapped his arm around Valeria's waist and said, "Alright, I'll calm you down! Don't be angry. It'll give you wrinkles! Cheer up!" Hearing him say such wor
The past few days, whenever Leonard came to see her, he would stare thoughtfully at Abbie's belly. Abbie knew what Leonard was thinking. When she first woke up, she had desperately wanted to get rid of this child. Yet after she woke up this time, she never mentioned anything about it. Leonard should be suspecting her by now. Leonard didn't want her to keep this child either, did he? Initially, Abbie still hesitated if she should have this child. But now, it seemed that Leonard wanted her to get rid of this child. Of course, she wouldn't let Leonard get what he wanted. Abbie pretended not to notice Leonard's gaze. "Can you do me a favor?" "Tell me." "I want to know what's going on with Azalea and Michael." "Azalea has been pretty quiet recently. She has been living with the Davis family since she was discharged from the hospital. As for Michael, he has been very close to Azalea's biological father, Francis. There are rumors that Michael and Francis me
After Evelyn was driven away, she went back to the mansion angrily. Frederick found it strange that she came back alone. "Miss, why did you come back alone? Where is Mr. Gurney?" "I have something to attend to, so I came back. Grandpa is still there." Evelyn returned to her room unhappily and threw her purse onto the bed. She then sat down on the sofa angrily. Francis's call came. "Where have you been?" "I didn't feel well, so I came home first!" Evelyn was afraid that Francis would find out that she was driven away because she had provoked Valeria. So she could only lie. "You are so troublesome. Weren't you fine when we came?" Francis was unhappy. He had taken a liking to a fine young man at the party and wanted Evelyn to meet him. Yet Evelyn had disappointed him. "It's not that I want to be sick. Grandpa, I have a headache, and I feel sick all over. Maybe I caught a cold. I'll take some medicine and rest first." After Evelyn fou
After Angel had drafted her words, she called Deborah's number. However, Deborah didn't answer the call. After calling her a few times with no answer, Angel then called Callum instead. This time, the call was connected. Callum's voice was very cold. "Who is it?" "Dad! It's me, it's Angel!" Angel's voice sounded soft and pitiful. "It's you? Why are you calling me?" Callum asked coldly. "I... Dad... I gave birth prematurely!" Angel's voice was choked with sobs. After that, she waited for Callum to answer. However, Callum didn't respond to her at all. Instead, she heard the sounds of him flipping through documents. It was apparent that Callum was uninterested in what she was saying. Angel was a little scared. It seemed to be a mistake to call Callum. She should have continued calling Deborah since she was a woman and would sympathize with others easily. Although she regretted it, she couldn't change it anymore and could only continue. "I was
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
