After lunch, Bobby took Jacelyn and Valeria out of the restaurant to return to the Howard family's villa. When they reached the parking lot, William's phone rang. It was a call from Marcus. William answered the call immediately and asked, "What's the matter?" "Mr. Howard, I just received news that Angel committed suicide after strangling her child to death and stabbing Gurmisran." "What? Such tragic news!" William never thought that Angel would do something like this, so he asked, "How is Gurmisran now?" "Angel stabbed him like crazy, and his vocal cords have been damaged. He's also blind now, so he's pretty much useless now even though they managed to save his life." William shook his head and didn't know what to say. After all, Gurmisran was evil as well. He did so many atrocious things, so this was probably the consequence that he had to pay. He suddenly remembered Madelyn, so he asked, "Where's Madelyn?" "Something happened to her too
Paisley was shot in the chest, so she fell to the ground immediately. However, Aurora kept pulling the trigger at Paisley while laughing insanely. When the nearby patrol officers heard the gunshots, they rushed over. At that time, Aurora had already fired all the bullets in her gun. Then, she knelt on the ground and raised her hands as the police took her away. However, Danya immediately pounced on Paisley, who was in a pool of blood, and exclaimed, "Someone! Anyone! Please save Miss Anthony!" Soon, an ambulance with a roaring siren immediately rushed Paisley to the hospital. Even though Aurora had fired all her bullets on Paisley, her injuries were not fatal. Thus, the doctors who managed to save her life are giving her some emergency treatment. However, the first thing that Paisley needed to do after she woke up was to think about how she could pay off Ornard's debts. If she couldn't afford to pay off those debts, she could only go to jail in return. Soo
When Francis left Michael's law firm, he looked upset. Meanwhile, Frederick was waiting for him in the car, and he immediately opened the door when he saw Francis approaching while asking, "Mr. Gurney, how did it go?" Francis sat down and sighed before saying, "Everything's settled now." "Then why don't you look happy?" "Ugh! Michael didn't take me seriously at all. I've always been trying to make peace with him, but he's too aloof. He has never promised and mentioned that he would marry Azalea throughout our conversation." Francis was flustered at this thought, and he couldn't help but ask, "What do you think he's planning to do?" How would Frederick know what Michael was up to? However, he smiled and said, "Anyway, Miss Gurney is pregnant with Michael's child, and she's currently staying with the Davis family too. It doesn't matter what he's thinking. After all, the child is more important now. Once Miss Gurney gives birth to the baby safely, Michael can
Why did the birth test that Azalea was talking about sound like a DNA test? When Michael was still a lawyer, he had also helped some people to win court cases about their children. After hearing this, his attitude immediately changed, and he did not enter the study. Instead, he turned around and went to the living room and invited Azalea to sit down. "I thought that Frederick had come to deliver you some tonics on purpose, but he brought you to do a pregnancy test instead. Tell me about the test in detail." When Azalea saw that Michael was willing to talk to her, she told him about the pregnancy test happily. Michael had an emotionless expression, but he had already made a guess secretly. Francis was probably worried that the child in Azalea's belly had nothing to do with him, so he coaxed Azalea to do the DNA test. Well, Francis got suspicious easily instead. Luckily, he had learnt about this issue when he came back today. If not, things would have gotten
Frederick followed Francis to the study and closed the door. Then, Francis sat down and motioned for Frederick to sit opposite him. "The information I received today is about this person. Take a look." After that, Francis opened the drawer and took out a document before handing it to Frederick. Frederick opened it and was shocked when he saw the photo on the document's front page. "Isn't this William?" "Nah, it's not William. His name is Leonard, and he's from the Floyd family. Speaking of which, he's a relative of William." Francis pointed at Leonard's photo and said in an appreciative tone, "This guy is very capable. After all, he is as capable and smart as William." "Is he that powerful? In this case, why does the Floyd family not put him in an important position? Instead, they put Thomas in an important position, right?" "The Floyd family placed him in an important position. However, Leonard later rebelled against them. Something happened to the
However, Hayden didn't take it seriously. "It's okay. they're still young. I'll teach them when I grow up." Valeria also added, "Dad, you really can't spoil them like this. It's not good for the children." "No, you guys are too careful! You and William are so strict. Can't I spoil them a bit?" "You can't spoil them like this too! Honey, dad pretended to be a horse and allowed Cade and Santhos to ride on him today. They went round by round today, so I'm worried about dad's health." "It's okay, I can exercise! After all, crawling on the ground is the best way to exercise." William was even more upset when he heard that. "We need to teach our children since they're young. Dad, if you spoil them like this again, I will move out with Valeria." After hearing this, Hayden blew his beard and glared at them. "Sure, you and Valeria can move out and live in your own world. However, I have to stay with my two grandsons." When Valeria saw that William and H
It was boisterous inside a suite of Climax Space. Hence, Andrew frowned as he took his phone and walked to the balcony outside the suite. He leaned against the railing on the terrace and breathed a sigh of relief while glancing at the time. It was already half-past eleven. Andrew thought of the boisterous atmosphere in the private room and didn't want to stay any longer. He picked up his phone and sent a message to the host. "I have something to do, so I'll go first! Let's meet next time!" After sending the message, the other party replied, "Nah, let's go and have supper later!" "I have an headache. Let's do it next time." Andrew went straight through the corridor with his mobile phone. At the other end of the corridor, a young woman in a pink dress was stopped by two men. The woman's voice was filled with anger. "Get out of my way! I don't know you! Stay away from me!" The men who stopped the woman started stammering, "Hey, we've met once, but
William got up and went to the garden to run a few laps. When he came back, he met Bobby. When he saw Bobby, he started making fun of the latter by saying, "I haven't seen you get up in the morning to train for several days. Do you no longer need to train after getting a girlfriend?" Bobby smiled honestly and replied, "I came back too late last night and woke up a little late in the morning. I'll run ten laps immediately." William waved his hand and said, "All right, I know that you've used up a lot of energy at night. Don't force yourself if you can't handle it." After hearing this, Bobby felt even more embarrassed. He touched his head and said, "Mr. Howard, Andrew has a new girlfriend." "Oh? When did this happen?" After that, Bobby repeated what the manager of Climax Space had told him. William was surprised to hear him. After all, Andrew wasn't someone who would do this out of justice. If he had already taken action himself, this meant that
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
