William walked quickly to his car, but just as he opened the car door, Michael called him. "William, you should come to Revolving Restaurant now. Your woman is being stolen by Hardy. Come get even with him." "Heh!" William snorted coldly into his phone. "What? You don't believe me? They are chatting and laughing happily. It seems that they're quite close." "Even if they are, so what? Don't bother telling me such things in the future. I don't want to know." "What do you mean? Are both of you still in a cold war? You're a man, you should just let it go." "It's not a cold war, it's a breakup! She has nothing to do with me anymore." "Are you... telling the truth?" "When did I ever joke?" William answered as he got on the car. Hearing the car door shut loudly, Michael jumped in shock. Was he angry? Was he angry because he broke up with her? Michael had only wanted to agitate William, but now he didn't dare to say anything else. "Okay, le
Paisley could not fathom William, but her heartbeat erratically when she looked at his gentle smile. William's smile was really too charming. Indeed, what Hardy said that she was only attracted to his appearance was actually true. He was just so handsome that she didn't mind if he didn't have any talents. Paisley felt much happier as she looked at his appearance. So she held up her glass to bring a toast to William, "Here's to you, Mr. Howard. Congratulations for your collaboration with Acma Corporation today!" He had embarrassed Hardy that day, but here Paisley was congratulating him. William was slightly surprised by her attitude. So he smiled and clinked his glass with hers. "Thank you, Miss Anthony." Richard and Michael locked eyes as they saw how Paisley took the initiative to speak to William. Richard then said, "I heard that Mr. Anthony was embarrassed deeply by him. Aren't you angry with him?" "My brother's business has nothing to do with me." Pais
William got into his car again. Looking at his hand, Paisley took out a tissue to help him stop the bleeding but she didn't ask him anything. She was a smart woman who knew how to observe the situation. While helping William to stop the bleeding, she told Bobby, "Hurry to the hospital!" "No, it's not necessary, just send Ms. Anthony home," William said expressionlessly. "But your hand might be infected!" "Nah... It's just a minor injury," William insisted on not going, so Paisley could only oblige. It was only a small injury, so he could take care of it himself. Besides, they weren't familiar enough for her to make decisions for him. Bobby quickly sent Paisley back to the Anthony family. Once she got down, she waved to him and the car sped off. Once there were no outsiders, Bobby asked, "Sir, should I send you to the hospital?" "No, it's just external injury. It's not very serious though," William said in annoyance with a gloomy exp
Marcus paused for a moment before replying, "Mr. Howard, they've successfully bid on that piece of land. I think..." William sneered. "Successfully bid? Ha! They only succeeded because of underhanded means. You just have to send the evidence of it," William sneered. Marcus knew that William made up his mind. Hardy was definitely going to suffer a loss this time. "Mr. Howard, haven't you always been at peace with Hardy? Why..." "That guy and Ronald collaborated and stole my woman. I can't just swallow this anger. If I don't get my revenge, I might die of anger," William let him know his plan to get revenge. Marcus found it somewhat amused, "Mr. Howard, regarding Miss Brown, you can..." "Don't mention her. I am someone that will take revenge if I have to. I'll respect her if she wishes to be with Hardy. So don't ever talk to me about this again. By the way, go and transfer one billion dollars to Bobby. And let him give it to Valeria." "What do you mean
His sudden change of expression startled Abbie. "Why are you so fierce? Who do you think you are?" "You can have a try if you don't believe me," Michael looked at her coldly. He had always been cheerful and humorous towards her. So this change in attitude made her feel afraid. "What the hell! Can anyone just bully me? If you weren't my brother-in-law, I wouldn't have come to you for help, anyway! Let's go, Valeria!" Abbie took Valeria's hand and left. Michael sat in his chair with a scary look on his face. He looked like a devil that just rose from hell. Abbie pulled Valeria out of Michael's law firm and got on her car angrily. "That d*mn Michael. Who does he think he is to threaten me?" "Alright, cool down. I have money, you can use it first. He can't possibly cut your card off for the rest of your life, right?" Valeria persuaded her. "Well, there's nothing else I can do," Abbie started the engine and left. Suddenly, Valeria received a call f
A group of people met at the entrance. All of them were aristocrats. So Hardy said, "What a coincidence, why don't we spend the night together?" Richard and Michael didn't object to it as well. "As long as William and Mr. Field agree to it, I'm okay with it." Hardy laughed and looked at Marcus, "Mr. Field, what do you think?" Marcus looked at William. He must be uninterested as he was still unhappy with Hardy. After all, he had stolen his woman. "How about you, Sir William?" Upon seeing the way Marcus asked for William's opinion, Hardy was stunned. Marcus, the acting president of Wolf Group, was usually very aggressive and decisive. So it was weird seeing him ask William about what he thought. What was their relationship? William nodded coldly. "Whatever." This was a sign of relief. They then walked to the largest VIP room. After they sat down, the waiters and waitresses walked in, bringing fruits and beer as they did. After Wi
In the next round, the question was, "Where did your first time happen and how long was the longest sex you've had." Richard shuffled his cards a few times and smiled devilishly as he did so. William warned Richard with an alarming glare. Unfortunately, he drew the cards with the least points while Valeria had the second least points. Richard was obviously deliberate. Besides Hardy and Paisley, everyone else knew the relationship between Valeria and William. Everyone looked at them. Valeria forced herself to ask, "Truth or dare?" "Truth," William answered as he took out a cigarette to light. He then puffed out a ring of smoke and looked at Valeria through it. "My first time was at a nightclub. As for how long was the longest sex, I don't quite remember. All I know is that I wanted it to go on but she couldn't handle it any more so it ended." He said it as if it were nothing. However, Paisley was awkward as she heard it. Did William mean that hi
Hardy's face turned stiff. He was annoyed when the woman that he liked was going to kiss another man. He couldn't just sit by and do nothing. So he stopped her, "It's just a game, why take it so seriously?" Hardy spoke up for Valeria, which made William's expression turn colder. Marcus observed William's expression and spoke up casually. "Even though this is just a game, there are rules to follow, isn't that right?" After hearing what Marcus said, Hardy could not say anything more. Abbie was murmuring, "Just kiss him. He didn't state which part of the body anyway, so just kiss his head." "That won't do. Kissing hair doesn't count," Michael immediately objected. "Are you sure you want to go against me? Brother-in-law?" Abbie gritted her teeth. Michael stopped his speech immediately when she addressed him that way. Marcus then said, "Kissing his hair or on the back of the hand won't do. You'll have to kiss his lips. Go on, everyone is waiting."
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
