Valeria and Kyrie had arrived at Halcyon Hotel's carpark at around 5 o'clock in the evening. She immediately spotted Lamont's car when she was getting of her car.

Ignoring him, Valeria immediately entered the hotel with Kyrie. Kyrie had booked a large hall for the banquet tonight as he had invited a large crowd to attend this event. After all, the senior executives of Brownard Group could already fill three whole tables on their own!

Valeria and Kyrie entered the hall earlier so that they could carry out their responsibilities as the host of this banquet. Kyrie immediately started to inform her about the seating arrangement as she reviewed the menu for tonight's banquet.

Valeria noted that Charles and Declan had been arranged to sit next to her on the main table as well.

The only option they had was to drug her wine as they would want to evade the crowd's eyes.

Valeria glanced at Kyrie before asking, "Has Ashley arrived?"

"Yes, she's here!" Kyrie nod

    The hall was filled with arriving guests when Valeria made it back after she had finished her conversation with William. Mason felt a little awkward when he arrived and saw that Valeria and Kyrie were welcoming their guests with open arms. He decided to shake it off and greeted Valeria with a smile instead, "Congratulations on your promotion, Valeria!" Valeria could not offend any guests as the host, so she could not ignore him even though she detested Mason. Instead, she welcomed him warmly as well, "Welcome, Mr. Eich!" Kyrie interrupted her, "Greetings Mr. Eich, I've heard that your new company is doing well!" Mason glanced at Valeria before explaining quickly, "Of course not, we've only just started operating after all." Valeria was surprised to hear that Mason had started a new company. However, she decided to ignore it as she had no ties with him anymore. Mason was disappointed at Valeria's cold reaction as he had expected her to be shocke

    The waitress shook Valeria gently before asking, "Miss, are you alright?" However, she got no reply as Valeria remained still on the sofa. She immediately picked up her phone as she thought that Valeria had fallen for their tricks, "You can come up now, she's currently unconscious on the sofa." She had been preparing to strip Valeria when she woke up groggily and smiled at her, "Who did you just call?" "Why...why...are you awake?" The waitress had only managed to blurt this question out before fainting as a blunt force hit her head. Valeria clapped happily as she glanced at Lamont, "Alright, let me prepare Declan's 'welcome gift' then!" Lamont threw the unconscious waitress on the bed after Valeria had stripped the waitress off her clothes. After they were done, the both of them waited in the room nervously for Declan's arrival. Soon enough, footsteps that were approaching their room could be heard ten minutes later. "He's here!" Valeria

    Once the door had been opened, Charles was confused as he stared into the darkroom. What the hell was going on? He was trying to figure out what was happening when a strange smell reached his nose. He tried to leave the room after a shriek, but a hand caught him and pulled him in before he could react. Once Lamont had tossed the unconscious Charles onto the bed, he turned the lights on to check the two figures that were lying together. "Imagine how confused they would be when they see each other tomorrow!" He chuckled. Valeria sneered at the figures coldly with narrowed eyes, "This was Ashley's scheme. After all, she had planned to marry me off to a b*stard while she was planning to marry a millionaire. I wouldn't be safe right now if William hadn't saved me. I swore to get revenge on them after that incident!" Lamont looked at Ashley's figure in disgust, "You're too kind, Miss. I would have taken things a step further." "You wouldn't be able to stop Ashle

    Lamont was driving back home after leaving the hotel when Archer called him, "How did it go?"  "Everything was perfect!" Lamont answered, "I'm worried about Declan's supporters though, could you do something about them?" "To be honest, I came to tell you that someone else dealt with them before I could. I guess Declan won't be getting away this time!" Lamont was stunned after hearing Archer's words, "Who did it?" "It was Wolf Group who did it! I had to force them as they refused to reveal the details at first." "Wolf Group? Why is Wolf Group involved in this?" Lamont was even more shocked to hear this news. "I was wondering about the same thing. William has a good relationship with the CEO of Wolf Group, Marcus, so he might have asked a favour from him. Marcus probably took action thanks to William?" Lamont doubted him, "You know how powerful Declan is, so why would Marcus offend the Anderson family just for William? I think there's something m

    Charles put on his clothes with a confused expression before being led out of the room by the police with Ashely trailing behind. The two were pushed into a police car by the police. Mason, who had been knocked out, also woke up and was taken outside by the police with a dazed look on his face. As he was pushed into the police car, Mason saw Ashley and Charles being brought out. He was shocked when he saw their disheveled appearances and was trying to figure out what had happened but a firm voice interrupted his thoughts. "Bring the two of them back to the police station and interrogate them for the charges of a s*x trade!" A s*x trade? Did Charles and Ashley sleep with each other? Mason was so caught up in his thoughts that the voices of the police faded out. Meanwhile, Valeria had fallen asleep in William's arms after a passionate night. He kissed her face and wiped the sweat on her forehead before getting off the bed to grab his phone. He had rece

    Charles frowned at Mason's bloody face and immediately ordered his driver as they were driving out of the police station, "Head to hospital now!" Mason wiped the blood on his face before exclaiming, "I'm fine! I don't need to go to the hospital!" Charles did not insist after hearing his words, "Drive us to Mason's house then!" The driver immediately turned and headed to Merton Condominium. Charles followed Mason off the car when they arrived and coughed as he said, "That incident last night...stays between us!" Mason turned and stared at him, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation for your actions, uncle?" "An explanation?" Charles asked with a sneer. "Where do I even start? Ashley and I were both set up and we somehow ended up on bed together." "That's it?" Mason retorted. "What? Did you think that I would be interested in a woman that you slept with?" Charles replied coldly, "I'm saying this not because I think that I'm disappointing your aunt

    After Kyrie made the phone call to report the news, there were no longer any updates from him. Ronald couldn't sleep and he kept calling Kyrie and Ashley on his phone. Six long hours later, Kyrie finally picked up the call at 4 in the morning.  Kyrie said that he was taken to the police station for a routine inquiry and he was just released. If he was taken to the police station, then Ashley should also be there.  Ronald and Julie were lost in thoughts for another half an hour before Kyrie rushed to the hospital and told them about what had happened in the Halcyon Hotel. Ronald had already read the news and he knew that the Declan was in danger. He was now concerned about Valeria. What was her current situation? He called her multiple times, but he could not get through. Kyrie was not surprised when he heard that Valeria was not picking up, but it was surprising to hear that Ashley wasn't either, "Didn't Miss Evans leave quite a while ago? Why

    Ashley fiercely rushed over in an attempt to hit Valeria. However, Valeria kicked her first before she could even make contact.  Valeria had always been a gentle girl, so Ashley was caught off guard as she didn't expect this fierceness from her. Ashley was a little weak after being tormented by Charles for so long, in addition to the time she spent locked up in the police station. On the other hand, Valeria had a good night's sleep so she was well-rested and energizes.  The hard kick sent Ashley's body flying to the ground.  Valeria did not stop there as she realized her violent potential. She went up and kicked her a few more times as she scolded, "How dare you scold me? I'm going to kick you to death, you shameless b*stard!" Ronald, who was lying on the hospital bed with his hand plastered, and Julie, who was standing next to Valeria, was stunned by her sudden outburst. It took Julie a while before she realized what was happening, "Help! Someone's

    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

  • 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

    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
