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
After William hugged Cade and helped to wipe away his tears, Cade continued to sob. "Wife! I want my wife!" Valeria knew that he was referring to Emma. "You can't be so rude. Her name is Emma, and she isn't your wife. Can you remember to call her by her name in the future?" "She's my wife!" "She won't pay attention to you anymore if you continue being so rude. No one likes boys who don't have manners." Cade stopped and whined, "I want to play with Emma!" "I'll take you there in a few days, I'm too tired today." "I'll go with Auntie!" Cade still insisted. "Are you being naughty again?" William snorted. Cade was angry when he heard this and he imitated William's snort before getting off and waddling out of the room. When Hayden followed Cade out in a hurry, Valeria shook her head with a smile and said, "He looks exactly like you. Were you like this when you were a child as well?" "I have always been a good boy when I was young. How ca
Helen jumped in fright and looked at Richard. "Who is it? Why does she sound so familiar?" "Who else could it be? It's Azalea!" Richard replied calmly. "What is she doing here?" Helen asked with a look of disgust. "We'll know when we check it out!" Richard said as he stood up and Abbie also came out of the dining hall when she heard the voice. Richard handed Emma over to Abbie. "I'm going out to take a look." "I want to go as well." Abbie could hear that it was Azalea's hoarse screams and she wanted to see why the latter was throwing a fit. Richard tried to stop her. "Don't go. Azalea must have come with bad intentions since she's screaming so loudly. I'm afraid she'll scare Emma." "I'll ask the nanny to carry Emma." Abbie handed Emma over to the nanny and followed Richard and Helen out. Azalea's hair was dishevelled as she howled and cursed away. The bodyguards would definitely not give her face. They kicked Azalea's leg a few times and
Francis fainted for a completely different reason compared to last night, and he was immediately sent to the hospital after the doctor administered first aid. However, everything had changed completely even before he woke up. The Gurney family's stocks continued to be sealed after the market opened in the morning. The investors had expected that the Gurney family would increase their stocks to stabilize the market, but they did not expect that no action was taken at all. On the contrary, the news that Francis owed a huge loan to the bank because he had failed in his investments began to spread wildly. A video of Francis being hospitalized twice was uploaded by the media. In order to stabilize the situation, the Gurney family said that Francis was just doing a routine check-up and they stated that they weren't in debt. They also sent a lawyer's letter to sue the person who had spread the rumours. In less than half an hour after the lawyer's letter was sent
Azalea rushed back to the Gurney family when she heard that something had happened. Azalea turned on the radio on the way back and many of the hosts were talking about the Gurney family. They said that Francis was so angry that he became unconscious, and all of the major TV stations said that the Gurney family was about to go bankrupt due to the crisis. Azalea started to panic when she heard that the investors were destroying the Gurney family's company and many people were gathered outside the building as well. The host said that the court would probably seal up all of the assets of the Gurney family in order to benefit the investors and prevent them from running away. She thought of the paintings and the antiques that were in Francis' study. Since those were all works of famous people, she could probably sell them for a lot of money. It would be better for her to take all of them with her instead of having them seized by the court. Azalea immediat
The servant shoved the child into Azalea's hands and snatched the packed boxes back into the house. Azalea was unwilling to give up and she wanted to snatch it back, but Camila gave her a harsh slap across her face. After that, Azalea did not dare to step forward again after the servant glared at her. Camila had always hated her from the start. To make matters worse, she knew she couldn't stay here any longer after she had been caught stealing the Gurney family's property. Where could she go when she was pregnant and she had a sick child to take care of? Just then, the first person Azalea thought of was Michael. Although her news had gone viral on the Internet, and Camila as well as her daughter-in-law had already explained everything to Azalea, she still did not believe that everything was true. She did not believe that Michael was not the child's father, so she had to find him and ask him about it. Azalea rushed to Michael's company with her child immediately
At this moment, Azalea heard a knock on her car window. She was so scared that she stopped and looked out of the window, only to see the disgusting old man that had gone to Michael's house that night. Azalea jumped in fright when she saw the old man, but her face was filled with disgust the next moment. When the old man knocked on the window repeatedly, Azalea rolled down the window in disgust. "What are you doing?" "Let me in!" "Are you f*cking insane!?" Azalea glared at the old man. "You're the one who's lost your mind... Look at what you've done to the child! Take him to the hospital immediately!" Azalea looked at the old man coldly and did not respond. Then, he took out his phone and said, "I've already taken a video of what you did to the child. If you don't want to go to jail, you'd better open your car door and send the child to the hospital immediately!" Azalea's eyes narrowed in fear when she heard the video that the old man was playin
Abbie was stunned as well when she heard this. She guessed that there was more to this matter when Azalea came to cause a ruckus in the morning, but she didn't expect it to be so shocking. Didn't Michael betray her to be with Azalea? Since that was the case, why did he do this to Azalea? Anna nodded. "I'm sure! I heard from Raymond that Michael was just pretending to be with Azalea. She thought that she could turn over after giving birth to his child, but she didn't know that MIchael didn't sleep with her at all and he asked someone to take his place. Azalea and the Gurney family had been kept in the dark all along. Azalea's biological father, Francis, is as shameless as her and he even drugged Michael after he refused to marry Azalea. He did this all because he wanted Azalea and her child to take over Michael's assets." Helen took a deep breath. "Why is he so vicious? So is Michael completely infertile now?" "No, Michael knew about his schemes in advance and pl
