Richard squinted and smiled. "Yes, these people were invited by your uncle and me! Aren't you going to welcome them?" "I am very welcome for their coming!" Raymond was not a fool and immediately knew what was going on. Those people who drove luxury cars with their female companions were not the rich guys from wealthy families at all. In fact, They were the bodyguards of William and Richard. Abbie and Valeria looked at each other and understood. It was undoubtedly safe tonight with a lot of bodyguards disguised as rich and powerful guys to escort them. They began to barbecue with ease while the bodyguards in luxury clothes pretended to be rich kids walking around. In fact, their eyes were observing the waiters on the field. As long as they found a flaw, they would take action. However, everything was very calm and nothing could be seen. After a round of inspections, they did not find anything wrong. The bodyguards took the initiative to talk to Richar
Charles and Savannah had been waiting for the reply anxiously at the resort's study room. Upon receiving the news, the two gangsters hired by them had entered the resort and were waiting for their chance to attack. "There shouldn't be any problem since they have gone in, right?" Savannah felt uneasy all the time. "Yes. I was told that they are veterans who are very skilled and alert. Besides, they have been doing this for many years," Charles replied. "I can't wait any longer! What do you think will happen if the news of Valeria's death goes viral? That b*stard, why does he approach her boldly? Won't he furious if he finds out that the b*tch is dead?" Savannah was extremely vicious. "You're right, but it's not an advantage for us as he'll definitely suspect us. Therefore, we must do a good job of aftercare when it is succeeded. We can't let them find any evidence of our crime!" Charles sneered. "That's why I said we should also kill that b*tch, so th
Natalie closed her eyes and showed her pity face. Gonzalec was afraid that she would change her mind after seeing her expression. Thus, he immediately said, "Lady Valeria is here tonight. Do you want to see her?" "No!" Natalie smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Actually... I don't know how long I can last. I'll only create more trouble for her if I die soon." "Lucian has been looking for doctors everywhere. You'll be fine." "God will determine life and death, and even Lucian and I can't decide it," Natalie sighed. Gonzalec was silent for a moment and said, "Also, I found out that several people disguised themselves as waiters and sneaked into the resort tonight, but we haven't found them until now." "Huh? What are they doing here!" Natalie was astonished. "I don't know. I'm thinking... do they want to hurt any of our customers? If that's the case, we don't have to find them at all. We should use the chaotic situation to our advantage, and then blam
Soon, the traffic jam that was caused by the accident slowly cleared. William breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his watch before asking Bobby, "Can you arrive before 12 o'clock?" "Yes!" Bobby replied. "Urgh... I wonder what's happening over there." After William finished his words, there was a phone call from one of his bodyguards. "Mr. Howard, something is going on. Lamont brought a man and went into the resort from the main entrance." "Huh? Lamont is there as well? Did he notice that there was something wrong too?" William was stunned. Lamont had always been alone. Why did someone accompany him this time? "Who is the man that he brought along?" "He's about the same height as Lamont, and he's wearing a cap and sunglasses. He looks like one of Lamont's subordinates, but... but this subordinate has an...extraordinary aura." Was this extraordinary subordinate Archer? It couldn't be! What was Archer going to do with Lamont? Did he know that
After replying to Lamont's message, Valeria immediately sent a message to William. "Honey, Lamont is here. He just sent me a message saying that a stranger has entered Raymond's room." "I see. You don't need to go back to your room. Just stay by the lake for a while, and I'll settle it!" Valeria felt relieved after seeing his message, and she said to Raymond. "Someone entered your room. For the time being, let's stay here and not go back to our rooms." Raymond had an uneasy expression on his face after hearing her words. "Are you sure?" "Yes, Lamont dropped by our rooms and saw them, and he was the one who texted me this news," Valeria said as she showed the message to Raymond. Abbie saw they were talking and interrupted them, "Hey! What are you murmuring about?" "Abbie, someone entered Raymond's room, and they haven't left after a long time," Valeria replied. "He doesn't seem to be a good guy. We have to be careful later." "D*mn, why are you s
The bodyguard was shocked, and he stepped on the brake abruptly. Natalie and Gonzalec almost fell because of inertia in the back seat. As they looked over, a luxury car stopped in front of their car. The man in that car opened the door harshly and got off quickly. While the bodyguard was still stunned, he then pulled him out of the car. "D*mn, are you waiting to die! Our boss was shocked to see your car speeding like this." His bodyguard was good at fighting, but he couldn't fight against Bobby. Bobby grabbed one of his hands harshly, and he felt as if his hand had been broken! He tried to fight back with his feet. However, before he could do so, Bobby kicked him aggressively, causing him to kneel on the ground. Gonzalec, who sat at the back car seat, was furious to see that someone dared to embarrass him in front of his gate, so he lowered the window and shouted. "Hey! Why are you trying to create havoc in front of my place! Men, get him and kick hi
After Natalie and Gonzalec left the resort successfully, Gonzalec immediately called one of his trusted subordinates in the resort. He asked them to arrange another room for Raymond and to remove any fatal items in his room. The confidant immediately agreed and decided to remove the items in the room first. He put on the gas mask and was going to open the window, but only to see a man lying on the floor! He was shocked and opened the window immediately when he saw that the dead man's mouth was full of white foam. Then, he called Gonzalec quickly, "Boss, someone broke into the room! I'm not sure when he did it, but he's now dead!" Gonzalec did not expect this to happen. He looked at Natalie, who was next to him and said, "There's a dead man in Raymond's room. I don't know when he got in. What should we do now?" Natalie didn't expect such an accident too. This dead man could not be a resort staff. Then, who was he? Could it be Raymond's bodyguard? If so, it
Raymond was astonished after knowing someone died in his room. "How could this happen in my room? She didn't do it, right?" Raymond lost his mind and grabbed William's hand. "Uncle, there must be someone else. You must know it, right?" William patted his shoulder. "I don't know who is it, but I'm sure that the dead person is also sinful! This is his karma!" "So that means two groups of people wanted to kill me tonight?" Raymond murmured. If William had not interfered tonight, he would have definitely stayed in that room without any precaution. In the end, he would be the one dead inside. This thought made his face turn pale. "Oh my... Who was it? I just told her alone... She can't arrange a large group of people to attack me though, so who hates me so much? Is it my dad?" He even suspected Archer. William shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's not him. You wouldn't be here now if he was behind this." "Then it must be my mom. Urgh!
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
