"Er... it hurts so bad! " Valeria Brown, who was still in a deep sleep, felt extremely uncomfortable. So, she turned over and rolled into a man's broad chest. The touch of a completely strange creature woke her up with a start, and what came into her eyes was the large handsome face of the man. At first Valeria thought she was dreaming. In disbelief, she reached out her hand to touch the face in front of her. Almost at the same time, the man opened his eyes and looked straight at her. When their eyes met, Valeria let out a cry and jumped aside. Then she found herself wearing nothing. "Who... Who are you? Why are you here?" She immediately caught the blanket and wrapped herself in it. The man squinted and his eyes finally rested on Valeria's collarbone. Eyes darkened, he said in a low voice, "Your savior." Her savior? In astonishment, Valeria stared at the overly handsome man on the bed and soon thought of the resentful voice of her best friend
Having cried for a while, Valeria dried her tears and went to the bathroom in exhaustion. Her shapely figure was reflected in the mirror, and her body was full of scratches, included her neck. Valeria felt extremely sick so she washed her body over and over again. However, what's done cannot be undone. She felt so annoyed! Obviously, Valeria was set up by Ashley last night, and she had to find Ashley and demanded an explanation. Soon afterwards Valeria went out of the hotel and took a taxi heading to Ashley's home. When she arrived, she found that it was Ashley's mother, Julie Evans, who opened the door. Julie was wearing a nightgown and her hair was messy. And she seemed to be very surprised when she saw Valeria. "Valeria, are you here for Ashley? She is not at home now." But Valeria did not believe Julie at all. She pushed Julie away and broke into the house. Julie saw Valeria break down the door and hurriedly tried to stop
Valeria's eyes glistened with anger when she saw Ashley, "Here you are. I was about to get even with you. So, why did you set me up last night?" "What are you talking about? Who set you up?" Ashley pretended to be innocent cheekily. "Valeria, you can't slander Ashley. She's such an obedient girl. How could she frame you?" Julie said. "You deny it? You think I don't know what to do with you two?" Valeria was totally infuriated by the shameless mother and daughter. So, she raised her hand and slapped hard on Ashley's face. However, Ashley did not avoid the slap. She felt a burning pain on her face and tears soon streamed down from her eyes. Viewing such a scene, Julie grabbed Valeria's wrist and asked, "Valeria, why did you hit Ashley? She did nothing wrong!" Then she showed no mercy and pinched hard on Valeria's wrist secretly. Valeria felt extremely painful and pushed Julie away at once. This was the moment Julie had been waiting for. She
Valeria had pissed Ronald off for what she said. Ronald stared at her and said seriously, "Valeria, call them Aunt Julie and Sister Ashley from now on! And I don't want to hear any rude words coming out of your mouth anymore!" Julie continued to pretend to be gentle and virtuous in front of Ronald, so she said, "Ronald, don't force her if she doesn't want to. Ashley and I have already suffered for all the past years and it's okay for us to suffer for a bit longer. I know that you had been through tough time these years..." Her words touched Ronald's heart indeed. For a long time in the past, he had behaved like a good man, obediently obeying Valeria's mother, Natalie Garcia. Now he could finally act on his own since Natalie had past away already. Thinking of this, Ronald glared at Valeria and said angrily, "Whether you are willing or not, you have to accept the fact that Ashley is your sister. And I tell you now, they will live with us in no time!" Hearing Rona
At the headquarters of Wolf Group International of B City, all the executives were sitting in the conference room, keeping silent. Last night, they received a notice from the CEO's Office at eight o'clock. It said the CEO, who had never shown up before, was coming to the company today. Undoubtedly, he was the most mysterious person in B City. Three years ago, an unknown buyer bid for the most prosperous business block in the center of B City at the price of more than two billion dollars. Later, it cost more than ten billion dollars to build the tallest building of B City, which was named Wolf Group. Within just two years, Wolf Group was involved in many industries and profited well, such as hotel, catering, real estate, financial industry and film-television industry. Wolf Group was the most profitable company in B City. However, no one knew who owned it. This plutocrat had never been seen in public, and even no one knew his real name. Th
Valeria wandered along the streets despairingly until it was night time. Finally, she was exhausted and felt extremely hungry. She took out her mobile phone and check, but found no new messages. Ten hours passed and Ronald still hadn't called her. Was he going to abandon her and stay with the shameless mother and daughter? Abandoned by her father, Valeria felt desperate. She could not go back home now. What's more, her best friend Abbie Clark was on her vacation abroad, so she had no place to go. Having no choice, Valeria went to the nearest Wolf Hotel. When she walked into the lobby, she bumped into Ashley. Ashley was sitting in the lounge in a good mood with her mother Julie. And she was stunned when she saw Valeria came in. After whispering a few words to Julie, Ashley strode over to Valeria. "What a coincidence! Valeria, are you also here for dinner?" But Valeria didn't want to waste any time on this shameless woman. But Ashley obvio
Ashley began to sob when she saw the two men coming. Then she said to them, "Please don't blame Valeria. She's in a bad mood, so it's okay. Dad, please talk to her. She won't go home because she thinks we're gross." Ashley was wickedly wicked. She framed Valeria again. Sure enough, Ronald was disappointed at Ashley's words. "Valeria, I didn't expect you were so narrow-minded. Since you don't want to go home, don't go back for life!" Mason was angry as well when he saw the fingerprints on Ashley's face. "How many times do I have to tell you, Valeria? I fell in love with Ashley first. She didn't do anything wrong. You can't do anything about it!" This was the first time that they had met each other since Valeria found out about Ashley and Mason's affair. Valeria was hurt and resentful at Mason's earnest defense of Ashley. After all, she and Mason had been together for four years, quite a long time. At that time, Valeria took care of Mason d
Ashley wanted to show off to make Valeria angry, but she was kicked out in the end. Now she felt extremely upset. But she and her mother had gone through so many of these humiliations. Therefore, she did not feel much shame this time. However, it was a different story with Ronald and Mason. They were celebrities in B City and had never been humiliated by others before. Now they must be displeased. Ashley guessed. Ashley thought that she must seize this opportunity to continue to sow discord between Mason and Valeria. "How did Valeria get to know the boss of Wolf Group? She must be up to something. I think she set us up with others, did she?" "Set us up with others? But who?" Mason asked. "Maybe her friend, Abbie Clark? I heard that Richard Clark, the elder brother of Abbie, is on good terms with Marcus Field, who is the CEO of Wolf Group, so maybe..." At Ashley's words, Ronald went mad with anger, "How dare she! It's time to teach her a l
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
