Abbie called Leonard in front of the butler, which made the latter surprised to receive her call as soon as he woke up. "Abbie, what's the matter?" "I have something very important to tell you. I gave birth earlier than my due date!" "What?" Leonard was extremely shocked. Abbie repeated, "I gave birth ahead of time. The child is very healthy, and I'm fine as well." "Why would you suddenly give birth? What happened?" Leonard's intuition told him that this was not a simple matter, but he controlled his anger and asked Abbie. "I accidentally fell down, so my child had to be born early..." "B*stards! Weren't they supposed to take care of you?" Leonard gnashed his teeth. "It's my fault. It has nothing to do with the housekeeper and bodyguards. My child and I are fine, so please don't blame them. I'm begging you, okay?" Leonard wanted to slaughter the butler and bodyguards. If they called him as soon as something happened to Abbie, he would nev
Meadow felt a chill in her heart. "Michael, don't joke around! I'm very anxious now. You need to help me... I'm begging you!" "What did you do when I asked you to bless my relationship with Abbie?" Michael asked with a sneer. "Back then, I... I wasn't in the right mind! Michael, I regret what I did back then. If I had known that Azalea was such a person, I wouldn't have done that even if my life was at stake!" "Are you regretting it? It's a pity that the past can't be changed. Besides, you probably don't feel any regret because people like you are heartless and vicious. I don't believe that you'll feel any remorse." "Michael, I really regret it! I really..." "Alright, you can stop pretending! I won't pity your misery, and I will never sympathize with you!" Michael paused for a moment. "I'm going to hang up now! Congratulations on being driven out of the Davis family!" When Michael hung up after he finished speaking, Meadow looked at Stanty and said,
The spy that had been sent out by Leonard's assistant had sent a report about what happened in the afternoon. Michael didn't give out his shares for free. Instead, he took a deal from Francis in exchange for ownership over a company with the same market value as shares. Leonard was shocked when he heard this. "Does this mean that Michael wants to go solo?" The assistant nodded. "That's very likely! Michael is very smart and talented, so his chances of success are very high." "If that's the case, then this is good news." Leonard thought of Abbie's child and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Isn't it a good thing for Abbie's child to be born?" "That's right, we would've raised Michael's child by the time he establishes his own company." The assistant understood what Leonard meant and said with a smile, "The child will be the heir if anything happens to Michael." Leonard frowned. "But isn't Azalea still pregnant with Michael's child? That child would
Michael was looking at William as he hung up the phone. "Are you still investigating Leonard?" "That's right! Leonard's girlfriend had an accident and she lost her child." William didn't hide it from Michael. "But it's strange that he didn't react to it at all." "What's so strange about it? How can someone like Leonard be tied down by a woman? Even if that happened, that woman must be the daughter of a rich and powerful family who can give him some benefits. You still haven't found out the identity of the woman, so it's obvious that it must be kept a secret. Don't spend too much time investigating that woman. You should focus on Leonard instead because he's probably going to contact Francis now." "Did Franics tell you about his contact with Leonard?" William asked. "I guessed it. Anyway, you have to be careful because Francis and Leonard aren't good people. If they join forces, you'll face endless troubles in the future." William smiled. "I'm not worried a
Jacelyn and Bobby looked at each other and asked, "Is this true?" "It's hard to say, but I'll tell William about it!" Bobby immediately went to find William and showed him Evelyn's message. "Sir, is Evelyn deliberately making up a lie or is it true?" William thought for a moment after he read the message and said, "It should be true." "Who would want to harm Michael?" "Evelyn has no contacts here, so it's impossible for her to know who wants to hurt Michael. The only people who aren't on guard against Evelyn are from the Gurney family, so I guess Francis should be the person who wants to deal with Michael." Bobby felt that it made sense after listening to William's analysis. "What kind of vicious means did Evelyn mean? Since Azalea is pregnant with Michael's child, could it be that Francis wants to kill Michael?" "This isn't completely impossible, but I don't think Francis would take Michael's life. He would probably use another method."
Michael asked his assistant, "Has the company transfer of the Gurney family been completed yet?" "No, the eldest son of the Gurney family, Casper, is the one in charge of the handover. It was obvious that he's deliberately making things difficult for us and he's been finding excuses." "Is that so?" Michael smiled. "Make an appointment with Casper for me. I'm going to have dinner with him tonight to discuss the company's ownership transfer." The assistant immediately called Casper, but the latter was incredibly arrogant. "I'm very busy because I have meet-ups with so many people recently. I have to see if I'm free for dinner tonight." The assistant's tone was sincere. "Mr. Davis urgently needs to meet you, so I hope that you'll save some of his pride." Casper could feel the assistant's emphasis and promised to meet in the evening. The assistant hung up the phone and cursed while Michael smiled and said, "Did he agree?" "Yes, but I'm sure that he
Thomas' face was a little pale after losing too much blood. However, he still smiled when he saw Emily rushing in anxiously, "I'm fine! Auntie, don't worry!" How could Emily not worry? She felt as if her heart was breaking when she saw that Thomas was injured. It was inevitable for her to be worried because he was her son! Emily teared up when she saw the gaping wound on Thomas's shoulder. "Who did it? How could someone be so vicious and go against the law like this?" Callum also came into the room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Thomas. "Thank God! You're lucky to have met Gavin. Otherwise, I can't even imagine what would happen to you!" Just as he was thanking Gavin profusely, William arrived with Bobby as well and his eyes darkened when he saw Thomas' injury. Bobby glanced at Thomas and told William, "They were probably going after Thomas' life and they weren't planning on letting him survive." "They're too vicious!" Callum pulled Willia
Since Thomas was Callum and Emily's child, the news that he was the son of the Floyd family was too shocking. When William and Fandrey rushed to the hospital ward, they found that Emily's eyes were red with tears and Callum's eyes were teary as well. Fandrey walked hurriedly until he reached the door frame and gasped. "What the hell is going on? How could Thomas be your child?" "He's me and Emily's first child. She was pregnant at the time, but you didn't approve of our relationship and Veronica was eyeing us as well. Emily was dressed in layered jackets since it was winter, so no one realized that she was pregnant. Then, she didn't tell anyone and secretly gave birth to the baby. She was afraid of Veronica taking revenge on her at the time, so she didn't dare to keep the child with her. She ended up sending Thomas to a welfare home before Frederick adopted and raised him." Fandrey's face was full of guilt after hearing Callum's words. He and Deborah were the on
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
