Michael shivered and regained some of his rationality when he looked at William's cold gaze.

He calmed down and sat opposite William. "I won't let you down about matters regarding the Gurney family, but I'm just too shocked. Leonard, that b*stard, has a child. How could the Clark family agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

William's expression was cold. "It's up to the Clark family to decide what to do, and no one knows if Leonard will be able to marry Abbie in the end. You should do your own things first."

What else could Michael do? When he calmed down, he knew that William didn't have any say on this matter and the latter could only try his best to help him. Even if Abbie did not marry Leonard, the Clark family would probably ask her to marry someone else.

He sighed and said, "I'll do my job well, so I'll leave Abbie's matters to you!"

Meanwhile, Evelyn was obviously in a horrible mood today in the Gurney family. In the morning, she scolded the helper who

    Francis's lawyer arrived at the police station to bail Evelyn out, but it was rejected. The police said that Evelyn deliberately ordered the murder and caused the death of a civilian. She could not be bailed out because the crime was particularly severe. The lawyer had no choice but to come back to report to Francis. "Sir, the police won't release her on bail." Francis was very angry. "What's going on? Can't you even do such a small task? What am I even hiring you for?" "It's not a small matter. I asked a police officer who's close to me. He revealed some info to me and said that the evidence of Miss Evelyn ordering Jacqueline to kill someone is conclusive. Not only does the police have a recording of her personally admitting that she ordered the murder, but there is also evidence of her buying the poison." Francis thought of how Evelyn had suggested killing Valeria several times, so he also knew what was going on. "Is there no other way?" "If

    When Michael was welcomed into the living room, Francis asked the servant to pour tea for him. "Michael, I was just about to look for you." Michael did not take the tea since he had his guard up against Francis. "You're looking for me because of Evelyn's matter, right?" "Have you also heard about it? Evelyn isn't in her right mind now, how could she do such a thing? I'm angry at her." Michael couldn't stand looking at how Francis was putting up an act. He said lightly, "Mr. Gurney, I heard that Evelyn killed more than one person." Francis and Frederick were both shocked. "What do you mean?" "Don't you know?" Michael asked, "Evelyn has already killed someone else before she ordered Jacqueline to poison Valeria. Jacqueline has confessed that Evelyn had given her poison and ordered her to commit murder. Evelyn's bodyguard was the one who supplied the poison, and he has already confessed to his crimes after being arrested." Francis and Frederick looked a

    Abbie was extremely unwilling after receiving Leonard's invite to treat her to dinner. However, she could only endure it and agree for Emma's sake. She didn't dress up at all when she went out and rushed to the restaurant in plain casual clothes. Leonard booked a place in a restaurant, but the usually lively atmosphere looked a little deserted today. When Abbie entered, she felt a little strange because the waiters stood in the hall to welcome her. They bowed deeply to Abbie and said, "Welcome!" The manager came over with a bunch of flowers and a big smile on his face. Then, he handed the bouquet to Abbie and said, "Miss Clark, Mr. Floyd is waiting for you upstairs. Please come with me!" Abbie took the flowers and followed the manager to the second floor. Leonard was sitting in the private room in a suit and he smiled gently when he saw Abbie. "You're here!" Abbie nodded. The manager helped her pull out a chair and asked her to sit down. When she put the f

    The news that Michael had become Evelyn's lawyer spread quickly. Wayne was very angry, so he called Michael and asked, "Did you cut ties with William?" "Not yet, but it's hard to say after today." "What's wrong with you? Why did you agree to be Evelyn's lawyer? Aren't you declaring war against William if you do this? He has always been protective of the people close to him, but you're defending his wife's murderer. Do you know that William would kill you in the future?" Michael sneered and said, "From the day you took Azalea home, my friendship with William was no longer the same as before. It's time for me to choose a side now. I can either maintain a friendship with him or stand with the Gurney family. Although William and I have been friends for many years, he did not give me much benefit. Instead, he has always suppressed everywhere. Why should I stay loyal to a friend who doesn't give me any benefits?" Wayne wasn't as angry and anxious after he heard Michae

    It was still early when Valeria visited the Clark family and it so happened that Anna, who was still as mysterious as ever, was also at home today. When she saw that Valeria had brought the twins, she happily came over to hug and kiss Cade and Santhos. Helen was very happy to see the twins as well, so she and Anna brought them to the garden to play. Abbie and Valeria followed them to the garden. When they found a quiet place to sit down, Abbie looked around and made sure that there was no one around them. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Valeria, I have something important to tell you. Calm down and listen to me." Valeria nodded. "Go ahead." "I... I didn't lose my memory!" "What!?" Valeria looked at Abbie in shock and raised her voice. Abbie covered Valeria's mouth with her hand. "Keep your voice down. Valeria, I lost my memory at the start, but I remembered everything after that. I know that Leonard has bad intentions toward me and I've

    Valeria was unhappy. "What are you up to? Abbie is extremely anxious right now and she absolutely despises Leonard. Why do you want her to marry him?" "Honey, don't worry, I haven't finished my explanation yet. I just asked Abbie to agree to the proposal, but I didn't ask her to marry Leonard, right?" "You want Abie to pretend to agree first and think of a solution after that?" "That's right, you're so smart!" William nodded. "You can ask Abbie to agree to Leonard's proposal, but she needs to lay out a few conditions." "What are the conditions?" Valeria asked. William smiled and said, "She has to ask for something that Leonard can't complete in a short period of time and you need to ask Helen to bring it up. After all, wouldn't it make more sense to be a parent to make decisions for the sake of their daughter's happiness?" Obviously, Helen was unwilling to let Abbie marry Leonard. If Helen made an excessive request, Leonard would definitely have no c

    Michael was a man of his word, so he really took Azalea to dinner that night. Azalea was extremely happy. She ignored the fact that there were still wounds on her face and frantically rubbed ointment on it. She covered the scars on her face with concealer and changed into her most beautiful clothes. Then, she repeatedly scrutinized herself in the mirror to make sure that she looked flawless before rushing to the restaurant where Michael had reserved for dinner. Michael was different from usual and he actually arrived in advance. His attitude towards Azalea changed a lot. He even gently talked to her and asked her what she wanted to eat. Azalea was overwhelmed when Michael showed her such affection. "I can eat anything!" "Then I'll order. Let's have a drink at a bar!" Michael began to order and prepared a bottle of red wine. This dinner was very pleasant, at least to Azalea. Michael not only chatted with her, but he also served her some food and she d

    Azalea was aching all over when she opened her eyes the next morning. There was no one when she turned to look beside her, but she could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom. Azalea heaved a sigh of relief when there was someone taking a shower inside. Last night, Michael had helped her into the room and he immediately pounced on her before she could even turn on the light. Of course, Azalea didn't refuse him. Although she willingly pleasured Michael, she wasn't completely in a daze.  She didn't know why, but she felt that the man she had sex with wasn't Michael. Just as Azalea was thinking about it, the bathroom door opened and Michael came out in a neat outfit. Azalea's doubts were dispelled when she saw Michael and she gave him a bright smile. She said delicately, "Michael!" Michael was not as enthusiastic as last night and he said flatly, "I have something to do in the company, so I'll leave first! You can go back after h

    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
