Cade was stunned by Hayden and Lucas' laughter. After he looked at how hard they were laughing, he stumbled over to William to hug his legs. He continued to call out, "William! William! Hug!" When Valeria heard their laughter from upstairs, she couldn't help bursting out in laughter as well when she saw Cade chasing after William for a hug. While the room was full of laughter, William reached out to pick Cade up and said, "Don't call me William, call me Dad! It's rude of you to call me by my name!" At this moment, Santhos waddled over as well and hugged William's legs while he mumbled, "William! Hug!" William had no choice but to pick Santhos up with his other arm and lectured, "You can't call me that, it's impolite!" Cade then pointed at Hayden. "Grandpa... William!" He was insinuating that he could call William by his name because he heard it from his grandfather. William then touched his forehead and said, "Grandpa is my father, so he can call me
When William saw the message, he immediately perked up. "How much did he send?" Michael kept him guessing. "Try guessing!" William thought for a moment. "A thousand?" "That's a wild guess!" Michael sent a laughing emoji. "Two hundred more than what you'd expected!" "So that old fox used up all his money and had put all his bet on it?" "That's right. I didn't expect him to be so greedy. He should be cautious after so many years of being in this industry. I really didn't expect that he would fall for it! I have to say, William, you really are something!" Michael really admired William. "This isn't about me. It's because he is short of money and has no way out that he took such a risky move!" Michael couldn't wait. "When are you going to let him know that he has been fooled?" "In a few days!" "William, I've done what you asked me to do. Now, it's your turn. You can't break your promise!" William looked at Michael's message and sh
Michael's gaze fell on Leonard's arm, which Abbie was holding, and he didn't look away for a long time. Azalea saw everything clearly and said with a charming smile, "Leonard and Abbie must love each other very much!" "If you don't know what to say, then keep quiet," Michael said harshly and walked away. Azalea was embarrassed as Michael had scolded her in front of the driver and the nanny. She thought that Michael would not humiliate her out of the house, but she didn't expect that he was no different from before. Needless to say, Michael was still thinking about Abbie. She gritted her teeth secretly and followed Michael. Leonard brought Abbie into a private room on the left side of the second floor with Emma in his arms. His eyes were fixed on Abbie this whole time. Abbie noticed this and took over Emma from Leonard's hands. "Just now, Michael was staring at Emma. He wouldn't suspect anything, would he?" "No, he won't. Emma is my child. He won't b
The doctor repeated, "I said that the child has epilepsy. Something like this will happen again at any time. Be more careful in the future!" "How could this be? How is this possible? How could my child have epilepsy? This must be a mistake!" Azalea raised her voice and asked. "It isn't. His symptoms are symptoms of epilepsy." The doctor answered with certainty. "It's impossible. It must be a misdiagnosis! Michael, our child can't have epilepsy. I don't believe it! Let's change to a good hospital for another examination!" The doctor was a little unhappy by Azalea's suspicion of his medical skills. "If you don't believe me, it's up to you. It'll be the same even if you go to another hospital." "Let's change to another hospital immediately. Michael, let's go!" Compared with Azalea's gaffe, Michael was very calm as he believed the doctor's words. After all, the child did not look normal. He had thought that there was something wrong with the child's IQ, but he
Michael left the Davis family's villa and went back to the company. When he saw his assistant, he complained, "I'm starving. Quick, help me order some food." The assistant smiled and said, "Didn't you go out for lunch? What happened?" "I don't want to talk about it. Order me lunch first. I want you to help me with something big later." The assistant immediately ordered some food for Michael. Later, his assistant brought him coffee when he delivered the meal. Michael took a sip of coffee and suddenly burst into laughter. "Karma truly is a b*tch! Azalea, that b*tch, finally pays for what she did! I just feel sorry for that child! I thought he had problems with his IQ, but I didn't expect him to have epilepsy. By the way, where did you find that child back then?" "I found him randomly." The assistant touched his head. "Who knew I had chosen such an unlucky one. Azalea must be very upset right now, isn't she?" "Yes, but it's not only that. She doesn't wa
Frederick called the doctor for an appointment while Azalea immediately called Meadow to tell her that she would be back late. Then, she got in the car with Francis and rushed to the hospital. The doctor gave Azalea an examination, while Francis and Frederick waited outside. Half an hour later, the doctor who examined Azalea opened the door and came out. Francis immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is she? Can you do it?" The doctor shook his head. "There's no need to. She's already pregnant! There's no need for it!" "What?" Francis and Frederick looked at each other. Neither of them could believe the doctor's words. "Are you sure?" "I'm sure! I've been a gynecologist for many years, and I would never mistake a pregnancy. But in order to be sure, I just gave her a pregnancy test, and the results showed that she was indeed pregnant too." "This is..." Francis felt that it was unbelievable. Wasn't Michael infertile? He swallowed his question and
Abbie didn't trust Leonard, but she saw that Leonard had opened a new bottle of red wine with her own eyes. There shouldn't be anything fishy about it since it hadn't been opened before. After a moment of hesitation, Abbie took the glass and drank. She didn't want to stay alone with Leonard, especially at night. It was very dangerous. Abbie took another sip of wine, looked at the time, and stood up with a cry. "Look at the time! I should go now. My mother called and rushed me home. I'd better get going." Of course, Leonard would not let Abbie leave. "Abbie, wait. I have something to tell you. Sit down. It won't be long." Leonard hadn't said anything to her even though she had been there for several hours. It was strange that he had something to say when she was just about to leave. Abbie became suspicious. She wanted to see what Leonard was going to say, so she sat down again and asked, "What's the matter?" "Didn't your mother ask me to make a list of the
Abbie was taken away by Braelynn. Meanwhile, Leonard's eyes were bruised and he couldn't see anything. He was in pain and was pissed. It felt terrible! Then, he raised his voice and called his assistant several times. In order to make things easier for Leonard, the assistant, bodyguards, and servants had gotten out of the way sensibly. Now that Leonard was calling for help, the assistant came in a hurry after a while. He was shocked when he saw Leonard like this. "Mr. Floyd, was this... did Miss Clark do this?" "It was Braelynn Saunders! D*mn it! Braelynn, that b*tch! She gets in my way all the godd*mn time!" Leonard cursed angrily. He then questioned his assistant, "How did she get in? Didn't you f*cking arrange for someone to stand guard outside?" "I did!" The assistant was extremely aggrieved. "If you did, then how the hell did Braelynn get in? That d*mned woman. She wanted to kill me the moment she came in. F*ck... I'll kill her someday!" Leonard cursed. See
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
