Hayden was furious when he heard this. "What did you say? Divorcing Savannah is your solution? What a stupid idea is that? You clearly know that it's impossible! Is a divorce enough to wipe out everything?" "There's nothing else we can do!" Gavin wasn't angry. "They're both your children. Since you can sympathize with Savannah, why can't you do it for William?" "It's not the same!" Hayden was furious. Savannah's marriage with Archer and Valeria's relationship with William was totally different. She had already been married to Archer for more than 20 years, and Archer's status was now different from before. Kicking her out of the Saunders family through a divorce was such a cruel move! For Valeria's sake, the Saunders family was indeed willing to do anything. Needless to say, Gavin had also backed down because of William's current status. What right did the Saunders family have to act as they wished? Hayden was so angry that he started scolding him. "Isn't there
Savannah's face was insanely pale. She knew better than anyone else how grave her consequences were, so she softened her tone and said, "What exactly are you going to do?" "Hmm... Let me think." Ronald narrowed his eyes and said, "I want you to be my mistress and sleep with me!" "In your dreams!" "Don't pretend to be innocent. Look at you just now," He eyed her shamelessly. "You married Archer, but he hasn't touched you. So, I'll make it up to you. Isn't that great?" "This is absolutely impossible! B*stard, don't even think about it!" She cursed in rage. "You don't want to? Well, then I'll take a step back. Sleep with me one more time, give me 50 million dollars, and I'll hand over everything to you." "I can give you 50 million dollars, but I won't sleep with you!" "Savannah, it's not the time for you to bargain. I can release this footage to the public right now and send another copy to Archer. Also, I'll tell him about your fake pregnancy wit
Archer's threat made Savannah's heart sunk. "What are you trying to do?" "I have already obtained the evidence that you ordered Paxton and Dixie to frame Natalie with. Whether you agree to a divorce or put yourself in jail, it's up to you." Looking at his icy expression, she knew that she was not in control of the situation anymore. She would rather die than go to jail. "Okay, if that's what you want! But I have a few conditions..." "Savannah, don't you know that you don't have the right to request anything from me? Don't you remember how you schemed and plotted against me and Natalie in the past? Get lost! I want you out of my sight forever!" His eyes were filled with coldness, which made her shiver as she said, "Aren't you afraid of my father..." "Do you think I'm afraid of him?" He sneered, "Do you think your father will stand up for your shameful acts? Speaking of which, you still owe him a life, don't you? If your father finds out that you were invol
Gavin couldn't bear to see Hayden's expression, but now was not the time for him to feel sorry. This problem must be solved immediately. "I didn't want to do this to you. I wanted to discuss it with you properly, but you never agreed! Besides, I didn't do this. You have to ask your daughter. Originally, we had wanted to solve this privately, but she wanted to make a big fuss with the media... The public's still waiting for her to explain about that viral post of the uncle and niece! I can ignore what she did in the past, but I won't tolerate any slander against my granddaughter!" "So what do you want to do?" Hayden asked. Gavin wore a sarcastic smile on his face. It was William who planned all this, but he had managed to shrug off all the responsibilities that came with it. As a matter of fact, William's intelligence was unrivaled. He had already thought of a way out of this for him and Valeria beforehand. Even though this was William's plan, Archer and G
The Saunders Enterprises' announcements and the post about Savannah and Ronald's relationship continued to trend among the various media, and the public had reached their own conclusions about the story. The uncle and niece relationship mentioned in the previous post actually referred to Ronald and Savannah, and the public thought it made sense perfectly. Just like that, the incident with Valeria and William was forgotten, and everyone focused on Ronald and Savannah instead. There were many comments congratulating and cheering on the reunited couple, wishing them a long and happy relationship. Paisley was completely dumbfounded when she learned about this. Her efforts for arranging people to direct the illicit relationship at William and Valeria were utterly wasted. Other than Paisley, Talitha and Raelyn were also furious by this. Last night, after releasing the post, Talitha had fallen into a deep sleep but was woken up by Raelyn's phone call early in the
After a while, she received a reply. "Mom, I miss you!" This was obviously not a reply from William because it was impossible for him to call her his mom. Natalie knew that the person who sent the message must be Valeria, which made her eyes filled with tears instantly. "Valeria, mom misses you too!" "Mom, just endure it for a little longer. He said that there are still some things that haven't been dealt with yet. When everything is settled, we can be together!" "I know! Valeria, you have to listen to him and love him with all your heart. Don't be like me." "I will. No one can separate us!" Footsteps came from the corridor, so she quickly replied, "Someone is coming. I'll leave first." She deleted the messages and pretended to read the news on her phone. The door was pushed open and the person who was in charge of taking care of her came in. The caretaker held a thermos flask in their hand and said, "President Garcia, Lucian made some soup for
At the door, a few tall and sturdy bodyguards came in, but William stayed still and remained calm on the sofa. He asked, "What's this?" When Hayden saw his calm demeanor, he laughed coldly. "This is for real, William. And I'm not afraid to tell you what's happening. From now on, you're under house arrest, and you are to stay in this house obediently. You can leave when you agree to break up with Valeria!" William looked at him calmly and said, "Dad, don't you know that restricting a person's freedom is against the law?" "Don't talk about the law with me. You are my son. This is my house. I am the law!" Then, Hayden ordered the bodyguards, "Confiscate his phone!" He did this to prevent William from calling for help. William took his phone out and fidgeted with it as he looked at the bodyguard who was approaching him with a smile and said, "Let me remind you, my things are not to be touched without my permission. If you touch my phone, then you would have to
After the car left the villa, Michael patted William, who kept his eyes closed. He said, "Okay, that's enough. You don't need to put on an act anymore." He said lazily, "Hmm... What do you mean? I'm just too tired. Can't I take a nap?" "Hah! How can you still be in the mood to nap?" Michael snorted. "What did you even do last night? Why are you so tired? Aren't you afraid that your dad will get a heart attack because of how you treated Savannah?" "Isn't he fine now?" "Don't say that. He was enraged today! I think he would order someone to arrest you if we didn't come and save you today. Haha! I kind of want to see that happening, though. Maybe I should've come a little later," Michael teased. "F*ck you!" William rolled his eyes at him. Marcus, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, laughed. "Haha! Didn't Hayden do this so that he could make you stay there, Sir William? He's probably trying to test you, isn't he?" "Yes, he suspects my iden
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
