After hearing Abbie's words, Richard was stunned for a moment, "Lamont Saunders? Why are you looking for Lamont?" Looking at his expression, it seemed that he knew this person. Abbie was excited, "You know this person, right? Tell me, who is he?" "I know a person named Lamont, but I'm not sure if he's the same person you are referring to. You have to tell me why you want to know about him," Richard said slowly. Abbie had to tell the truth, "I'm not looking for this person, it's Valeria who is looking for him." Richard's narrowed his eyes, "Is that so? Do you know why she is looking for him?" "Here's the thing. Her mother left her a name card in the safe and asked her to find the person in the card when she is in trouble. The name on the card is a guy named Lamont Saunders." Abbie took a breath and said, "I am a little worried about her. After all, I don't know this person and I have never heard of him, so I want to find out who he is." After he
Abbie stared at Michael's lips as he kissed her. The shock made her mind go blank. Michael wanted to punish her for talking nonsense to slander him. However, after he kissed her, he did not want to stop at all. Seeing her stare at him foolishly with her big and round eyes, he reached out his hand to cover them. When her eyes were covered, she couldn't see anything, and her mind was in a state of confusion. The familiar sensation she felt from his lips made her stop struggling. As she lost her sight, a few chaotic memories came flooding into her brain. It was full of scenes with Michael in it. His gentleness and romanticness flashed across her mind. It was strange. Did she and Michael had a thing? Otherwise, why would she be seeing these scenes? She tried to grasp those fleeting memories, but it was futile. The kissing sensation brought her back to her senses. Michael, this shameless b*stard! Ashamed, she gave him a big slap across his face.
William strode out of the house while Bobby followed him closely. After getting into the car, William let out a sigh and he punched the headrest. Bobby hesitated when he saw that William was so angry, "Sir William, why did you choose this time to talk to Mr. Howard about this?" "I just wanted to get the gist of what was going on," William let out a sigh of relief, "It's okay though, this is all expected. I'm not mad about this." These words made Bobby confused. Wasn't he angry because Hayden didn't like Valeria? He thought about it and immediately asked, "Why are you angry then?" "I... Forget it. I'll tell you later!" William picked up his phone and called Valeria. However, her phone was busy with another call, so he put his phone away gloomily and said, "Let's go to Wolf Group!" Valeria put everything else back in the safe and she began to ponder with the bunch of keys in her hand after Abbie left. She had never seen this bunch of keys befor
Although Ronald had tried his best to suppress his anger, Valeria, who had been observing him, still caught the flash of resentment in his eyes. Her heart dropped. There was something wrong with his gaze. It was not the expression of a father looking at his daughter, but an expression of hatred towards his enemy. Why did Ronald look at her like that? Valeria suspected that he had done the paternity test that related to her and this just confirmed her suspicion. She felt a little scared. If Ronald really did carry out a paternity test on her because of Julie and Ashley's manipulation, the results would definitely not be good. Ronald's attitude towards her was so bad before. Now that he had proof that she was not his daughter, how could he speak so kindly to her? He must have a purpose tonight! Valeria became alert. Since she had doubts, she was naturally silly enough to trust him. Valeria immediately picked up her phone and sent a message to William,
She thought to herself as Ronald spoke again, "Did you find the person I asked you to look for?" "Not yet. Miss Evans said she has a suitable candidate. Why don't you go back and ask her?" "Okay, send Valeria home today!" Ronald looked at Valeria on the sofa in disgust, "I wish I could beat her up now!" Goosebumps rose all over her body when she heard such vicious words. Ronald reached out and pushed her, "Valeria! Valeria!" She continued to remain motionless. He helped Valeria up and out of the restaurant with Kyrie before putting her into the car. Kyrie started the car and they drove away from the restaurant. Valeria closed her eyes and continued to pretend to faint. In her heart, she wondered what the hell William was doing. Why was there no news from him at all? Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a crash and the car collided with something. She heard a pained cry in her ear, "F*ck, my new car!" The car tire explo
Valeria looked at William in surprise and said, "How is that possible? Are you playing around? "I'm not kidding. What if it is true? You should be prepared for any outcome, right?" "William, my mother isn't the kind of person you think she is! How could she cheat on my father?" Was William implying that her mother had cheated on him behind her father's back? Valeria was unhappy. Her mother was so gentle and noble, she knew how her mother was. How could she do such a shameless thing? "I'm not saying that your mother cheated. I mean..." Before he could finish his sentence, she interrupted him. "Enough! What you're insinuating is pissing me off!" She was very furious. Her face was flushed and her voice was as high-pitched as it could be. When he saw her agitated expression, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, just treat what I said as nonsense." "Indeed! If you dare to say those ridiculous things again, I won't talk to you!" Valeria was extrem
When Valeria got up in the morning, William had already left. Bobby said that he had gone to the Howard Group for a meeting. Even though he wasn't around, he had prepared the Wolf Group's breakfast for her. Valeria sat at the table to have breakfast and thought about her troubles as she ate. Ronald definitely wouldn't stop plotting against her after William had interrupted his plan last night. With her understanding of him, he would try to do the same thing again. This time, she would not walk into the trap as easily as she did yesterday. She had to think of a way to counter it. "What should I do?" Valeria thought of what Abbie said to her last time. She had to learn how to manage a company. In order to not let Ronald succeed in his plans, she had to firmly have her mother's company in her control. Ronald was now in charge of the company, and he certainly would not hand over his power easily. He was already so vicious towards her, so he defin
In the meeting room, Hayden, Charles, and the other senior executives were already seated and they were waiting for William. William pushed open the door with a mischievous smile, "I'm not late, am I?" "No, you're just in time!" Hayden replied as he swept his gaze over the senior executives present. "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting! We will talk about the cooperation project with Acma Corporation. Everyone knows that the contract has been signed, and the next step is developing the project. Even though this is not the first time we are cooperating with them, it is the first big project we have together so far, so they've arranged a special representative to follow up on the project. They will stay and be a member of our company to join our meetings in the future. Please welcome, Miss Paisley Anthony!" Lucas pushed the door open and Paisley walked in. A sneer appeared on Charles' face when he saw Paisley. It was clear what Hayden was try
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
