"Why do you say so?" William didn't seem surprised. "Savannah hated your mom. I heard her and Dixie, her maid, cursing your mother, calling her a b*tch who stole her father from her. Savannah wanted your mom to die." Ronald thought his words would anger William, but he was disappointed. William was very calm. He only looked at Ronald and said flatly, "You're only guessing. Now, tell me about Savannah's pregnancy and her baby." The lack of emotion from William only gave Ronald chills. So, he had no choice but to carry on. "Not many people knew about Savannah's pregnancy. The Howards' bodyguards did quite a good job of guarding her. Besides, she also rarely appeared in public. At least I had never seen her before she gave birth. I think she was afraid that Archer might try to end her pregnancy with force." "I see... If so, I assume you know nothing else about her at that time?" William asked, giving Ron
In the presidential suite of Wolf Group Hotel, Gavin stared at Archer in surprise, "What are you doing here in B city?" "Business trip," Archer simply replied. "What business? Don't you already have someone employed for this specific reason?" "I'm planning to set up a company here, and I'm already partway through the process." Although confused, Gavin asked with a soft smile, "Really? Are you planning to put Raymond in charge of this company as a practice?" "No," Archer shook his head. "I'm planning to send him abroad." "What?" Gavin raised his voice. "Why? He has already been abroad for so many years!" "Do I still need to explain myself?" Archer looked at Gavin coldly. "Don't you remember what I told you when you insisted on me marrying Savannah?" Of course, Gavin didn't forget. When Archer agreed to marry Savannah, he had made it very clear t
Archer was incredibly cold and resentful when he looked at Savannah. Raymond, unable to take it anymore, started yelling at Archer, "Why didn't you just kill me if you hate me so much!? You shouldn't have let me be born!" "Do you really think I want you to be born?" Archer shifted his cold gaze away from Raymond to Savannah. "I have been dreaming of killing you ever since I knew of your existence. It's such a shame I failed to do that." "Archer! Are you out of your mind? How can you say such things to Raymond?" Gavin's blood boiled. "Get lost! Get out of here now!" Upon hearing that, Archer stepped away without any hesitation, leaving Raymond shaking in anger. Gavin reached out to put his hand on Raymond's shoulder and said, "Raymond, don't be bothered about what your dad said. He didn't mean it." "No! I'm not going to just forget that. No father would ever say such things to his child, so there must be a reason he's telling m
As Savannah turned around the corner towards Charles's villa, she saw Elizabeth's car from the opposite road. Their cars drove past each other in a flash. Elizabeth was basically speeding through Savannah with no intention of greeting Savannah at all. On the other hand, Savannah was enraged. Even though she despised Elizabeth, she might have been annoyed if Elizabeth stopped to greet her, but the disrespect Elizabeth showed for not even bothering to slow down had driven Savannah up the wall. She already had a lot of pent-up anger from Archer, but now she was absolutely exasperated. If she could stop Elizabeth's car, Savannah would have definitely done that to give Elizabeth a lesson. When she pulled up at Charles's front door, she saw his car as well. So, she headed straight to his study as soon as she entered the villa. However, she heard low moans from the study room right as she got to the second floor. Savannah's face turned ugly, and she realized why
When William didn't respond, Marcus, who was right next to him, exclaimed, "Did she see you?" Triumphantly, Bobby shook his head and replied, "Of course not! It takes a lot for someone to catch me in action." "So, what happened? What did you find out?" William asked. "Miss Barnbook came up to the attic after she returned. There was no place to hide in the attic, so I climbed out of the window and held onto its edge, hiding right outside the window. I heard her searching for something, and then she stopped to call someone. She was comforting the person on the other side of the line, telling them to be patient for a little while more and that she would be sending some medication soon. After she hung up, she found whatever she was looking for and left. I didn't want to stay there for too long, so I quickly left her house as well." "Are you sure she didn't know you were there?" William asked. "I'm dead sur
Not long after Marcus left, a pasty-faced Raymond entered the presidential suite, and he collapsed onto the sofa, looking almost half-dead. Startled, William walked toward him and lightly gave him a nudge, "What's wrong? Are you sick?" "I'm fine. I just didn't know how unwanted I am until today." "What on earth happened?" Raymond groaned, "My dad says I'm an eyesore to him and wants me to go abroad immediately. He even said that he wouldn't leave a penny to me. Turns out I'm just a product of an elaborate scheme, and he has been plotting to get rid of me ever since he knew of my existence. It's ridiculous how my existence has become a source of grievance to him!" William didn't know how to respond to that. He could only imagine how deeply hurt Raymond must have been by Archer's direct proclamation of his hate towards Savannah and himself. Raymond was innocent in this case, and Archer had gone too far by punishi
Archer was shocked, "Who let him leave? Where did he go?" "They're being very discreet over there. I can't get more information," Lamont plopped down on a seat. "I'm guessing that it has something to do with Sir William because Ronald disappeared a few hours after Sir William visited him. Otherwise, there aren't any other explanations." "Why would he want to do that?" Archer frowned. He couldn't figure out why William would help Ronald get out of the detention. "Does Valeria know about this?" "She definitely doesn't know. She hates Ronald's guts and has been waiting for him to be punished. If she knew that Sir William had helped Ronald to escape his sentence, he'd definitely face her wrath." Lamont replied. He, too, couldn't comprehend why William would do such a thing. "President Saunders, do you think Sir William did this on purpose because he was bitter about his breakup with Valeria?" Archer p
Valeria was at work when she got a Whatsapp text from Gavin, saying that he was around the Central South Building, inviting her for lunch. A little surprised, she went out to see what was going on. Gavin was all smiles when he saw her. Going up to her, he said, "Valeria, I came all the way here to buy you lunch." "You don't need to do that," Valeria shook her head lightly. "I'm already here anyway. Accept my offer, will you?" Losing lost to the tender smile on Gavin's face, Valeria finally agreed after a moment of hesitation. As they were crossing the road, Gavin accidentally slipped. Valeria was quick to hold him, "Sir, be careful!" "Your knees are weaker as you're older, you know?" Gavin laughed as he held on to Valeria. And it surprised Valeria that Gavin was okay with her holding him. Remaining in that posture, the two of them walked across the road to the Chinese restaurant. Sin
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
