The assistant immediately followed Leonard's instructions and relayed the orders to the nanny, who naturally agreed immediately. Leonard asked about Braelynn again, "What's the situation with Braelynn?" "I haven't heard any news yet, but I'll ask about it." The assistant asked the person who was tasked with following Braelynn, but he didn't receive any reply. The assistant muttered, "Where did these two guys go? Why aren't they replying?" Leonard was clearly upset. "Are they slacking off? Give them a warning and make sure that they'll complete their job without any mistakes. I'm sure they've just been loitering around all day long." The assistant agreed. "I'll keep an eye on them. Don't worry, Mr. Floyd!" After having dinner with the Clark family, William came to pick all of them up at nine o'clock at night. Santhos and Cade refused to leave because they wanted to continue playing with Emma. William and Valeria had no choice but to carry them i
Leonard's heart was starting to burn with anxiety because he had never expected that all of his men would be wiped out like this. Since those people had committed a lot of crimes, it would be impossible to release them on bail. It would be a blessing even if they were sentenced to eight or ten years of imprisonment. He couldn't use any of them since they were arrested, so his choices were limited. However, this wasn't the main problem. This group of men had done a lot of his dirty work, and he wouldn't be able to get out unscathed if they ratted him out. Leonard immediately asked his assistant when he thought of this, "Do you think these guys will put the blame on me?" "I don't think so. They won't have a chance to be released if they rat you out. After all, you are the only one who can save them." Leonard thought about it and agreed. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Send someone to find out more about the situation and send a message to them. T
"Thirty percent loss?" Francis thought that he had misheard it. He remembered that Michael said that he had earned five per cent before this. "Michael made five percent that day, didn't he? Why would I suddenly lose 30 percent?" The assistant looked calm and collected when he saw how anxious Francis was. "Yes, he had earned some profits at first, but he suffered 40 percent of losses when the market had a flash crash for the past two days." Francis was stunned when he heard the bad news. He then grabbed his assistant's hand and said, "Is this true?" The assistant pulled his hand away and said, "Yes. Michael had been keeping tabs on the stocks for two days straight. I think you can't contact him because he's probably resting now." "Didn't he say that he would definitely make profits?" Francis was incredibly anxious and his veins were throbbing on his forehead. The assistant frowned slightly and said, "Sir, there is no such thing as an investment that would d
Azalea's heart sank when she heard the man's words and she quickly realized that something was wrong. She said sternly with a straight face, "Who are you? Who allowed you to talk to me like that?" "Azalea, it's gotten to this point. You can stop pretending." The man walked to Azalea's side and reached out to pull her hand. "Get lost!" Azalea pushed the man's hand away in disgust, but he didn't give up even after he had been hit. He came over and pulled her. "Azalea, I've told Mr. and Mrs. Davis about what happened between us. Since it's already ended up like this, you can't hide it anymore. Just confess it to them!" "What are you talking about? Are you crazy? You're just a disgusting lunatic!" "Azalea, I know what you're thinking. I'm down and out now, so I can understand if you don't want to be like this. But you can't keep lying like this and pretend that my child belongs to another man. This is immoral!" "Where did this lunatic come from? I don't know h
Since he had already made up his mind, Azalea couldn't convince him otherwise. She called Michael in humiliation, but she couldn't get through to him. It was almost impossible for Michael to answer her call, so Azalea had to call Francis again, but no one answered as well. Why did it seem as though everyone had disappeared? Azalea had been kept at the police station for such a long time, which made her so tired and hungry that she didn't want to move at all. She just wanted to eat her meal and sleep after taking a shower. However, she couldn't do that now that such a thing had happened. She had to go and discuss it with Francis immediately. Azalea immediately went to Francis' villa, but the villa that was usually brightly lit was completely dark today. Azalea pressed the doorbell outside for a long time before a servant came out to open the door. She immediately said when she saw Azalea, "Miss Clark, are you looking for Sir Francis? He's not at home."
Francis was shocked. "Are you sure? Is there a mistake?" "I'm not mistaken, I deliberately left a mark on the bottle when I gave it to Michael. I saw the exact same mark just now when I looked at it." "Why did the wine that was given to Michael end up with Casper? It must be a mistake!" Francis was very clear about the consequences, so he would rather believe that Frederick had made a mistake. "Why don't you ask Casper's men where this wine came from?" Frederick had a very bad feeling in his heart. He wished that he was just mistaken, but he knew that he had seen it clearly. Francis called Frederick's personal bodyguard and asked, "Where did Casper buy this bottle of wine?" The bodyguard was very clear about Casper's every move and immediately replied, "He didn't buy this wine, it was a gift from Michael." Francis's eyes were wide in shock and his voice wavered. "Are... are you sure?" "I'm sure. Michael invited Mr. Casper to dinner that day. Mr
Michael smiled and poured a glass of wine for himself and his assistant. "Let's have a good chat with Francis!" The assistant immediately understood and picked up the call. "Nice to meet you, Sir." "D*mn it! Where's Michael? Let him answer the phone!" "Sir, why don't you call him if you're looking for him?" "Stop pretending, I know that Michael is hiding from me. Ask him to answer the phone, doesn't he have the guts to deal with his own actions?" Francis asked, gasping for breath. "What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying," The assistant asked. Francis roared, "Stop pretending! How can you not know that Michael schemed against Casper?!" "Sir, you have to be responsible for what you say and you can't slander others like this. We have never interacted with Casper and I remembered that we only had a meal with him. Mr. Davis wanted to gain his favour to hasten the company handover, but it happened a few months ago and we haven't seen
Wayne was still holding the teacup in his hand and he didn't smash it on Michael. "What do you mean?" "That old b*stard doesn't have any intention to cooperate with me. He just wants to make sure I have no other children because he's after my assets, but I saw through him and set up a trap for him. You should have guessed when you saw how the Gurney family's stocks had plummeted in the past few days." "Were you the one behind it?" "I can't possibly do that myself, so I worked together with William! I'm telling you that the Gurney family can't hold on any longer and Francis has taken over the Davis Group shares from me. If you don't want to lose everything, you'd better make your move soon because the Davis family will end up like the Gurneys soon." "You... you b*stard, how can there be someone like you in our family!?" The cup in Wayne's hand fell to the ground powerlessly. If William had intervened in the Gurney family's affairs, their company's bankruptc
