That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1700 Completely Wipe Out
"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
Last Updated : 2024-08-30That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1702 Something Happened to Casper
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

It was already two o'clock in the morning when Francis and Frederick found Michael's assistant. Michael's assistant yawned and opened the door impatiently. "What's going on? Don't you know that I'm asleep?" Francis said angrily, "I'm going to withdraw all my investment funds now!" "Now?" The assistant asked. "Yes, get on it right away!" "I'll have to go to the company to do it and I need Michael's permission as well." Francis became frustrated. "Then why don't you call Michael?" The assistant looked at Francis as if he was insane. "At this point, let alone I can't get through to Michael's phone, even if I can get through, I won't call him! I'm not a fool. I'm looking for abuse by calling him now." "I don't care what method you use. Anyway, I'm going to withdraw the money now and you must find a way to do it!" The assistant looked at Francis' demanding expression and said with a sneer, "I'm Michael's assistant and he's the one who pa
Last Updated : 2024-08-30That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1707 No Recovery
Francis's heart sank when Michael stretched out two fingers. He knew that the loss must be very serious, but he didn't expect it to be this bad. He had invested so much money, but only one-tenth of it was left. Francis' vision started to blur and he staggered forwards. Frederick had the same thought, so he asked in shock, "There's 200 million left?" Michael shook his head. "No! There's only 2 million left!" "What!? Why is it so little?" Frederick suddenly stood up. "Why are you so agitated?" Michael snorted. "Did you forget about your losses before last night? The crash last night made things even worse! I'm at a loss too and I don't think our funds can be recovered!" "You... you..." Francis was so angry that he stood up all of a sudden and pointed at Michael with trembling lips. Michael looked at him coldly with sarcasm in his eyes as if he he knew that Francis couldn't do anything to him. Francis was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fe

That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1748 The End
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1747 Lucky
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1746 Don't Ever Come Back
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1745 Despise Abbie
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1744 Why Did I End Up Like This
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1743 Not Brave Enough to Commit Suicide
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1742 Embarrassed
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1741 Worth It
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
That Stranger Lying Beside Me Chapter 1740 Satisfied
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
