Richard came over when William finished his meeting. His face was full of anger. "I'm so angry! I want to f*cking push that b*stard Leonard down the stairs and beat him to a pulp!" William smiled and invited him to sit down. "Why don't you have a cup of tea and cool down?" "I'm not in the mood to drink now because I'm too angry!" Richard thought of how Abbie obeyed Leonard and said, "William, that b*stard has openly shown his feelings for Abbie. I feel that he'll push his luck and tell my parents that he wants to be together with her. Abbie will definitely not refuse and my parents are very grateful to that b*stard. As long as Abbie doesn't object, they will definitely agree." William smiled at Richard and said, "If Leonard really wants to date Abbie, you should ask your parents to give their blessings." "Are you right in the head?" Richard's eyes were wide open as he stared at William. "What's the difference between marrying Leonard or Michael when
Azalea rushed to the Clark family and waited outside their villa for a long time until they returned. Helen got out of the car first, followed by Valeria and Abbie. Just then, Azalea's eyes widened in utter shock when she saw Abbie getting out of the car. How could Abbie still be alive? She personally saw Abbie's body submerged in the sea, so how could she come back alive? Azalea didn't understand why Abbie could survive the ordeal, so she was terrified to the extreme when she saw the latter in the flesh. She was the one who tried to kill Abbie at the start, so she would definitely be done for now that Abbie was back alive! Azalea didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately went to find Francis. Francis was about to leave with Frederick, so he was surprised to see Azalea. "Why are you here? Where's your child?" "There's a nanny watching over the child. Dad, I have something urgent to discuss with you and I need to talk to you alone."
Michael's face was covered in juice, but Abbie still threw the cup on his head and said with disdain, "How dare someone as disgusting as you say that you love me? Do I have such a bad taste?" Valeria sneered at Michael, who was in a miserable state, "Yes, how can you possibly like someone that already has a wife and a child? He's so despicable." Michael immediately denied it. "I don't have a wife!" "Really? What about Azalea? I heard that she brought her child to your house early in the morning, and all the servants of the Davis family lined up to welcome her. Why are you causing trouble here instead of taking care of your wife and child?" Valeria asked. "That's not the case! Anyway, Azalea's matter is a huge misunderstanding!" Abbie laughed and said, "Not only is he disgusting, but he has a wife and child as well? How can someone like him dare to say that he loves me? What does he think of me?" After that, she grabbed the plate on the table and smas
Jacelyn did not take the powder from Evelyn. "Miss, what is this?" "It's a slow poison, and I want you to put some of it in Valeria's food or drinks. Then, she'll die a slow death in a month." "This... you want me to kill someone?" Jacelyn waved her hand. "I don't dare to do that!" "Hm? What's there to be afraid of? I don't need you to actually openly kill some, I just want you to quietly put it in her cup. It's very simple. Didn't you drug that old woman as well? It's as simple as before and nothing will happen." "I don't have a chance to be in contact with Madam Howard. I'm just an external servant and she has her own staff that serve her personally." Evelyn didn't believe it. "You've been in the Howard family for so long. I don't believe that you won't have a chance at all. You're so smart that you'll definitely come up with a solution." "Miss, there's really nothing I can do... If anything happens to Madam Howard, William will definitely continue
The hospital was very quiet at 12 o'clock. Michael was staring blankly in one direction, and it had been three hours since he averted his gaze. Meanwhile, his assistant sat on the sofa uneasily and kept looking at the time. Finally, footsteps came from the corridor. Soon, William appeared as soon as the ward door was pushed open and it was as if the assistant had seen his saviour. "Mr. Howard, you're finally here." William frowned and glanced at Michael, who was still sitting motionlessly. He then waved to the assistant and said, "You may leave!" The assistant immediately left the ward while William walked to the bedside and sat down. "Michael!" Michael ignored him and didn't move at all. William called out his name again, but Michael still ignored him. William frowned and said, "Can you hear me!? I didn't come here to see you in such a pathetic state! What are you trying to do by acting so miserable for Abbie? You weren't like this when she wa
Abbie didn't say anything and just looked at Azalea coldly. Azalea had a smile on her face. "Abbie, it's so nice to see you! I thought you... I'm glad you're back. Did you know that I gave birth to Michael's child? It's a boy, and we're living in the Davis family now because I'm going to marry Michael soon." Abbie controlled her urge to smash her cup on Azalea's head and she just looked at Azalea coldly. Azalea was frightened by her gaze, but she continued to smile. "Well, you know what? Actually, I have a lot to say to you." "I see that you still hate me like before. The reason why you don't like me is because of Michael, right? Although I am an illegitimate daughter, Michael likes me better and he used you to hide the fact that he was dating me. I know that it's wrong, but we had no choice. I don't deserve him and I don't want him to be criticized, so my only choice was to drag you down." "Get lost!" Abbie gritted her teeth and said. "That's right!
Azalea could not speak because her jaw was dislocated and she was dragged out like dead weight after the bodyguards dealt with her. There was a look of satisfaction on Abbie's face as she looked at the scared waiter and said, "Are you scared? This is your compensation fee and you can place all the other dishes under my tab as well." Leonard signalled at the bodyguards, who immediately gave a few stacks of cash to the waiter. Abbie stepped out and said, "I'm in a bad mood because of that disgusting piece of trash. Let's eat somewhere else!" Leonard followed behind her and he had a completely different opinion of Abbie. It was as if he had gotten to know a completely different side of her today. Her weak personaity when she was willing to compromise to all of his wishes in his manor in the United States no longer existed. This must be how Abbie actually was. She was a woman who dared to show her emotions and take responsibility for what she did!
Meanwhile, in the Howard family's mansion, William and Valeria were playing with their children in their room after dinner. Cade and Santhos knew how to walk by now, so they were leaning against the wall as they stumbled along. Cade then called Valeria repeatedly as he walked, "Mama! Mama!" Valeria was ecstatic when she realized that her son knew how to call her, so she happily kissed his face. "You're so smart! I'll reward you with a kiss since you can walk and talk so well." Santhos couldn't speak yet, so he waved his hands around frantically. He held up his toy car and mumbled incoherently, but no one could figure out what he was saying. William was laughing from ear to ear, which made Santhos annoyed. Although he was still very young, he was bright enough to know that his father was laughing at him. He puffed up his cheeks and looked like he was about to lose his temper. William quickly reached out and hugged Santhos. "You're such a good boy and you're
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
