Ronald rushed in the treatment room when the doctor applied the ointment to Valeria's wound.

He stared at Valeria angrily, "It's you again?"

"Dad, I got hurt as well! It was Ashley! I had nothing to do with the mistress' injury. She fell down and hit the table by herself!"

Valeria regained her senses after being taken to the hospital. She remembered that Julie fell down as soon as she reached out to Julie. Everything was too strange. It must be Julie who wanted to frame her.

She was injured too. Moreover, Ashley tried to hit her with a coffee pot. The whole pot of coffee must have been poured on her face if she hadn't fallen down.

Ashley wanted to disfigure her. Valeria tried to explain to Ronald once she had figured it out.

However, Ronald had been misled by Ashley and refused to listen to Valeria's explanation. He was sure that Valeria was still trying to frame Ashley. So he slapped her.

Valeria felt numb on her face with the slap. She covere

    William couldn't help but wipe away Valeria's tears. He said in a tender voice, "Save your tears! Tears don't solve anything. Tell me, who did this to you?" Valeria could not say a word. She pursed her lips and threw herself into William's arms, crying bitterly. She tried hard to hold her tears back when she was questioned and scolded by Ronald. She told herself not to cry, because tears would not change anything. But when facing the question of the man in front of her, she could no longer hold back her tears which streamed down like an unblocked river. Her tears soaked William's clothes. He became stiff as he felt the heat of Valeria's tears. Half an hour later, Valeria got in William's car. He showed up with another car within a couple of hours. He drove a Maybach in the morning. But now he was driving a brand new Bentley. Valeria looked at William incredulously with her swollen eyes, "Do you borrow it from others as well?" "That's right!"

    Looking at her bitter and pitiful face, William said lightly, "Why don't you go to my place and stay for a few days?" "Living with you?" Valeria asked. She was very grateful to him, but she had never thought about living with a gigolo. William was such a handsome guy and worked on such a job. How dirty he was? Stay with him, but what if he barged into her bedroom in the middle of the night? William had thought that she would be overjoyed if he offered to help. However, Valeria was hesitating. Seeing her hesitant look, William's face turned gloomy. "It's up to you. Do you think I want you to stay in my house?" Seeing he become irritated, Valeria had to agree, "Then I'll live in your house, and I'll pay you the rent. But I have to warn you first, don't get any ideas about me." "You? Are you kidding? Do you think you're a fairy? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? You have a flat body. If you hadn't hugged me last time, I wouldn't

    William paused for a moment. Then, without any expression, he asked, "How much are you going to give me?" "How about... three thousand dollars ?" Valeria knew that the rent of this apartment in this area would be tens of thousands of dollars, and three thousand dollars would certainly not be enough. But now she really had no money. Her salary was a little more than 10,000 dollars. Except for the rent, she had to spend money on food and drink. And she also owed 180,000 dollars to him, which was also a considerable debt. This sum of money, which used to mean nothing to her in the past, now became an astronomical number. "A hero can be crushed with one dollar!" "Well, you see, I only use the bathroom and bedroom. I don't need to use other places. Can you give me discount?" William could't help laughing when he saw she try to lower the price with her sparkling eyes. So William said, "Okay, but you have to do all the house chores!" "Um.. um..." Vale

    Julie did not finish her words, but she made a beheading gesture. "Isn't it too dangerous?" Ashley knew that Julie meant to kill Valeria. She wanted Valeria dead, but it was too risky to kill her.Valeria was not a nobody. "If the police find out, will we be implicated?" "This is a good opportunity for us. Your dad slapped her and threw her out. Isn't it reasonable for her to commit suicide?" Julie's face was full of coldness and hatred. "You're right. It is indeed a good opportunity. It's now or never. We have to act as soon as possible, but it's just the killer..." "Don't worry, I'll arrange it!" Valeria got out of Lake View Nest and took a taxi back to the Brown family to pack up her things. There was only her aunt at home, and Ronald had not returned. When she saw Valeria coming back, her aunt came up to her with a smile and said, "Miss, you are back!" "Mmm!" Valeria answered and hurried upstairs. The aunt followed her and

    In the VIP room of Climax Space, after seeing off Mrs. Elisa, William picked up his mobile phone and took a look, and accidentally found the message sent by Valeria. She asked him if there was a supermarket nearby. But how should he know if there was one. William asked Marcus and called Valeria. However, no one answered the phone. He thought, "Why isn't she answering the phone? It is so strange." He tried again, but this time the phone could not get through, indicating that it was off. She turned off her phone less than half a minute later. How could it be so strange? "Did this stupid woman's cell phone run out of power or did she have an accident?" The latter possibility made William became worried immediately. He picked up his phone and made a call, "I need you to find out where Valeria is right now." When Valeria regained consciousness, she found herself still in the car. Her hands and feet were tied, her eyes were blindfolded and something

    Valeria lay still and motionless, continuing to pretend to faint. The car finally stopped after driving for a long time. The two men got out of the car and saw Valeria lying motionless. They thought Valeria was still in a coma. "This little woman is still in a coma. Let's get into the house of the forest people on the mountain and enjoy it. Then we'll see what will happen." The two said and got Valeria off the car. Then they carried Valeria on their back and walked up the rugged mountain road. After walking for about 40 or 50 minutes, they stopped and said, "We're finally here. I'm exhausted!" Valeria continued to close her eyes, feeling that she was placed on the bed. The two men didn't know that Valeria had already woken up. After putting Valeria on the bed, they made a quick decision about who to rape her first by playing finger-guessing game. There were only two wins in the three rounds. Judging by the voice, the driver must had lost.

    When Valeria woke up, she was dizzy and muddleheaded. She tried to move, and her bones seemed to have fallen apart. She could not help but cry out in pain. "You've woken up?" A familiar voice sounded. She took a closer look and what she touched was the extremely handsome face of the gigolo. She couldn't believe it when she saw him. She remembered that she was chased down the mountain in a panic. How could she see him? "Is this a dream?" She raised her hand and murmured, "Is this a dream?" "Yes, it's just a daydream!" The gigolo reached out and grabbed Valeria's hand, when she tries to rub her eyes. The temperature of his fingertips came to Valeria's mind. She knew that she was not dreaming. She was really with the gigolo. She looked at the extremely handsome and hateful face of the gigolo, "Did you save me?" "I guess so!" William replied slowly. He immediately asked someone to investigate Valeria's whereabouts when he realized that

     Ashley was startled by Ronald's sudden appearance, and she subconsciously took a look at Julie. Julie didn't expect Ronald to suddenly come over. Looking at Ronald's unfriendly face, she squeezed out a smile and said, "Why are you here at this hour? Aren't you dealing with your company business?" Ronald did not answer Julie's words and sat down on the sofa with a gloomy face. He looked at Ashley and said, "Do you know where Valeria is now?" "I have no idea!" Ashley was a little flustered. Why did Ronald ask where Valeria was when he arrived? Did he suspect anything? Julie was much calmer than Ashley. She said with concern, "Ronald, what's wrong with Valeria?" "She packed up her things and moved out yesterday. This b*stard actually left without telling me. I called her, but I couldn't get through. What does she mean?" Ronald was a little uneasy. He was angry and worried, "Could something bad happen to her?" Julie's heart skipped a beat. She had

    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
