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
They were trying to drive Leonard away. However, Leonard was not angry at all when he saw that Abbie was on his side and he apologized respectfully, "Uncle! I'm sorry!" Meanwhile, Abbie was sitting on the sofa indifferently. "What's wrong with her? I'm sure she did it on purpose and I think she's just pretending to be sick!" "Abbie!" When Donald heard Abbie's words, he immediately turned around and said angrily, "I know you've lost your memory and you don't remember your parents, but you should still be kind. My daughter was someone with good intentions and she would always help outsiders, let alone her own mother. You've gone too far! I'm very disappointed in you!" Anna also said, "Abbie, you've overstepped the time!" Abbie still wanted to refute, but Leonard stopped her. "Abbie, why don't you see me off?" As Abbie got up and walked Leonard to the door, she muttered as she walked, "My mother is just putting on an act because she doesn't want to agree to o
After Anna drove Helen to the Howard family's mansion, she accidentally realized that Raymond was there as well. Valeria invited Helen to sit down while Raymond took his nephews to the children's play area in the garden with Anna. Helen didn't waste any more time. "Valeria, I came to talk to you about Abbie. She asked Leonard to come to our house and told us that she would marry him. I didn't agree with her decision, but she adamantly went against us. It made me so anxious that I came to you. Valeria, can you help me persuade her?" Valeria had already known Abbie's decision from the start, and she said after thinking for a while, "You know how temperamental she is. Since she has decided to do this, I'm afraid it will be useless to persuade her. On the contrary, it will make her go against you even more." "Then what should we do? I can't just stand by and watch her marry a man who already has a child. You said that Leonard isn't a good guy as well. I knew that h
Raymond had just left the Howard family mansion with the intention of talking to Archer about visiting the Taylor family, but he didn't expect to see Andrew driving over. A woman in sunglasses was sitting in the passenger seat. Could Andrew have brought his girlfriend back to meet his family? Raymond was curious, so he didn't leave and he immediately got out of the car to wait for Andrew. Raymond came forward and said as soon as Andrew stopped the car, "Andrew! You..." But he was speechless as soon the woman in the passenger's seat took off her sunglasses. That woman was Talia. If Andrew brought her back to his family home, did that mean that they were together? When did they even get together? Raymond was stunned, but Andrew calmly opened the door and let Talia out of the car. She then got out of the car and took out a big bag of toys. Raymond became agitated when he saw how they were directly ignoring him, so he reached out to pull Andr
Leonard's expression stiffened. The Clark family's request was exceptionally high when they asked for half of his assets. Abbie immediately knew that it was Valeria's idea after she heard Helen's words and she said, "Mom, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me? How can you do that?" "Don't interrupt me, I'm doing this for your own good!" Helen glared at Abbie before she turned to look at Leonard and asked, "Do you feel that this request is unreasonable?" "No!" Leonard immediately denied it because he knew that the Clark family wouldn't agree so easily and there was hope since they were just giving him a few conditions. They just wanted half of the assets, but they couldn't investigate his property thoroughly. He had plenty of time to find a way to deal with it, so he agreed after thinking about it. "No problem, I'll transfer half of the assets under my name to Abbie." "It seems that you're really sincere since you agreed to it so easily, and I ho
Michael left the Gurney family and went back to the Davis family. On the way, he called William. "I can see that Francis is tempted, but I don't know if he will follow your plan." "He has to hold a family meeting to discuss such a big thing, so you just have to wait for the results." "Are you sure that the Gurney family will not object to this?" Michael asked. "All of them have their own schemes. If they can make money during such a tense period, they'll definitely be happy to see it happen I'm not sure about the others, but Casper will definitely support Francis." Casper was Evelyn's eldest brother, and Michael had an intuition that William was playing tricks again. "What did you do? Did you plot against Casper?" However, William refused to say anything, "Just complete your tasks and don't ask so many questions. It's not good for you to know too much." "You're coming up with all kinds of excuses. By the way, I have something to tell you. I went to
