Lamont did not notice how unusual Archer was acting. He then went to the bedside table and picked up the bottle to take a look. "It's a headache medicine. The person who lives here must always have a headache." He did not hear any response from Archer, so he turned to look at the latter, who was staring at the flowers in a daze. He looked at him strangely and said, "Sir, are you listening to me?" Archer ignored him and walked to the flowers. He then reached out to pick them up and seemed to be curious. After checking them for a while, he suddenly said, "Lamont, do you smell a weird fragrance in this room?" Lamont sniffed subconsciously and nodded. "Apart from the smell of the medicine, there's a sweet fragrance." "Do you think that this is a familiar scent?" "You mean this?" Lamont was also a little familiar with it. He thought for a moment and said, "It feels familiar because I remembered that I smelt it in the office of President Garcia once."
Lamont immediately dialed Valeria's number. He heard her voice once the call was connected, "What's up?" "Where are you?" Lamont asked eagerly. "President Saunders and I will come to you now. Stay there and don't move because a dangerous incident happened." "My husband is beside me right now, so I'll be fine," She replied. However, both of them were still worried, so they rushed to find her. Valeria was not only with William but also Richard, Michael, Raymond, and Abbie. Because of the murderer's ferociousness, the police gathered the staff of the resort to verify their identities. Some of them continued to check the rooms and other places that the murderer could hide. The news about how a murderer had stabbed the police spread. The people who had gathered were talking about it. "It's rare to see someone so crazy. Heh! He's probably killing everyone because he's desperate!" Richard sneered. "We'll see how long he can escape. It's just a m
It was a pity that Lamont was not Archer. Archer was a patient person, and he wasn't angry at all. "Well, I'll call you when you have time." William stood up lazily and said, "Alright, we've caught the murderer. It's time for us to leave. It's uncomfortable if we continue to stay here." Everyone left the room and got into their cars to leave the resort. Lamont finally couldn't control his anger anymore, so he vented his dissatisfaction with William after he started driving. "Mr. Saunders, William is too arrogant! Urgh! He was a swindler who was trying to rip you off!" "It doesn't matter. I'll think of it as giving pocket money to Valeria." Archer didn't care about it. "I understand that you feel sorry for her, but William is too infuriating! He knows that you are his father-in-law and still dares to mess around with you. Who would be such disrespectful? It's unacceptable!" However, Archer was not angry. "Why are you angry even when I ignored him? Is
On the way back home, there was no traffic, so Bobby was driving smooth. Valeria sat in the back row and leaned against William while looking at the credit card given by Archer happily. "Haha! Is there really money inside? Don't tell me he's trying to trick me?" William answered with a smile, "There's money in the card. Just take it! He should always keep his words as the head of the Saunders family in Ruthorham." "Honey, you're really amazing! How could you win so much money in one go? Hmm... but I think Archer seems to have a good temper because he was still relaxed even though he lost this much." Her words made Bobby laughing and said, "One must always honour a bet! Besides, to him, 100 million dollars is not as important as his reputation! So, why should he be mad?" "But why did he treat Raymond like that? I heard from Abbie that he would not give anything to Raymond. Is he really stingy towards his own son?" "Maybe there's another reason. Anyway
Ashley was astonished and stunned. "What? Mom... are you sure?" Julie nodded with difficulty while Ashely almost laughed wildly. No wonder Julie told her that she knew Elizabeth's secret. Finally, she knew the truth! It would be interesting if Charles found out about Elizabeth and Mason's relationship. Elizabeth had always said that she was a virgin when she had flirted with Charles, and then Charles had always treated Mason better than Andrew as he regarded him as his nephew. He even let Mason hold a high position in the Howard family. Thus, it was clear that Elizabeth wanted to take advantage of Charles. Since he already treated her child well, would he forgive her if he knew her true intentions? Ashley was delighted as this meant that she had dirt on Elizabeth! Her face looked vicious when she thought of Mason and Elizabeth. Those b*tches had to die for sure! William and Valeria did not return to Wolf Group Hotel after going back to B City.
Natalie took a few deep breaths to calm down, and she thought of Valeria again. If Valeria knew that Natalie was such a vicious person, she would be disappointed, right? At the thought of Valeria looking at her with disbelief and disappointment, Natalie somehow regretted what she had let Lucian and Gonzalec done last night. However, regret was useless as the incident had already happened. She walked around worriedly. Suddenly, her phone rang, and it was a call from Lucian. "President Garcia, I think... I think there's something wrong!" "Huh? What's the matter?" "The police has closed the resort, but there was no news from Gonzalec. This is too strange! Could it be that the police are suspecting him?" "Is that so?" Natalie asked. "That's why I am worried right now. If the police suspects him, it's going to be terrible. Last night's plan was very comprehensive, and we made no mistakes. Besides, Gonzalec would only take action if the police
A few minutes later, footsteps could be heard at the study room's door. Soon after, the door opened, and William walked in. Lucian had ordered a few bodyguards to guard to protect Natalie. Natalie had always thought that no one could enter the resort so easily. However, William had proved her wrong because he managed to enter as if it was his home. Now, Natalie understood how powerful William more even more. She controlled her emotion and pointed to the chair. "Sit down. So, what do you want to say?" "Let's talk about what happened to Valeria first. I'm with Valeria now, and we're married!" "What?" Natalie was stunned. They were already married? Wasn't this too shocking? "We have gotten our marriage certificate, but we haven't held a wedding. I'll hold once everything is over." William looked at her without any hesitation. "Since... you know that I am alive, you should know her identity. Both of you..." "I know she is Archer and your daughter,"
Natalie knew that William had a high position, but she never expected him to be the Wolf Group's president that was so mysterious. She stared at him for a long time before saying slowly, "I see! Since you are Wolf Group's president, I can rest assured with you around." She smiled bitterly. "I want to explain... what happened to your mother. I didn't push her! I was just questioning her about her bodyguard who caused my child's death, but she fell unexpectedly! I'm sorry! You might not believe me, but this is the truth. It's my fault as this tragedy wouldn't have happened if I hadn't met her. Thus, I'll bear the responsibility myself. I just hope that you won't hurt Valeria because she's innocent. Please treat her well!" "Of course, she is my wife! Don't worry, I'll treat her well." "Thank you!" Natalie had an unspeakable feeling when she saw his handsome face. After all, because of her mistake, William had lost his mother. She bowed to him and said, "I'm... I'm
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
