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
Raymond was forced to help the kitchen while William was deep in thought. This was too strange! Did Gavin and Archer rush to his house to cook so that they could please him and Valeria? Were they going insane? Valeria then poked him and said softly. "Honey, what are they trying to do? Are they really good at cooking? Would we get food poisoning after that?" "Well... I'm not sure. But the food I make tastes good, right?" "Haha! You're in a whole different league compared to them! I... I think perhaps we should stop them?" Valeria's praises did not work on William. "Hmm... why are you praising me? Do you want me to help them?" "No, I didn't mean to ask you to do that! I'm just worried that I will get food poisoning after eating their food! If they don't season the food right, the food will be inedible! So, we'd better prepare it ourselves." She said deliberately. William squinted at her. "Are you abandoning me now that your dad is here? Val
Raelyn moved her phone a little further away when she heard Savannah's loud cry. After reading today's news, she found out that Savannah had been tricked, but she didn't expect the situation to be this serious. Savannah really had sex with Ronald, and they were not considered a contractual couple anymore. How did Archer do this? It was impossible to accomplish all these in one day, so Raelyn could not believe it. "It can't be my brother! Why would my brother do this?" "Hah! Not your brother? Who else would be so capable other than him?" Raelyn couldn't think of anyone else. However, she never expected that Savannah would end up in such a dire state. So she asked slowly, "Where's your dad? Doesn't he care about you?" "Hah! If he could control me, would I end up like this?" She sneered. "I'm useless now. Let's end our deal!" "What? Are you going to give up now? Savannah, you're surrendering this easily because you fell into their scheme?" "What c
Hayden looked coldly at Savannah, who was kneeling in front of him."Have you finally realised your mistake? "Yes! It's all my fault!" Savannah burst into tears. "I embarrassed you so much! In fact, I was an unfilial child because I came up with so many despicable tricks!" "Oh well, there's no point talking about it anymore. What are you going to do now?" "Archer and Ronald schemed against me to ruin my reputation. Archer has been my husband for more than 20 years, but he's too vicious! He looks down on both of us! I can't endure it anymore!" "So what do you want to do? Do you want to fight him to death! Bah! Are you even capable enough to do that?" Hayden asked sarcastically. Of course not! Savannah obviously could not do it, so she was hoping her miserable state would convince him. However, he didn't seem to have any intentions of helping her. Hatred filled Savannah's heart. "Dad, I... I know that I made a mistake. But they didn't have to drag you i
After finishing breakfast, William sent Valeria to work. When she arrived, she focused on the workload that had piled up because she had been absent for a few days. Three hours passed in a flash. She stretched her body and felt a little thirsty. When she was just about to grab a drink, she heard a pair of high heels. Suddenly, Abbie's voice sounded, "Valeria! President Brown!" Valeria stood up and walked out of the office. Abbie came from the corridor with a bunch of flowers in her arms and smiled as she handed them to her, "Congratulations, Ms. Brown!" "F*ck you!" Valeria glared at her but still accepted the flowers graciously. "Thank you!" "Come on, give me a hug!" Abbie gave her another hug. "Finally, you can be lovey-dovey with William, so I don't have to worry anymore!" "Let's talk in my office!" Valeria took Abbie into her office. Abbie then took a look around. "Wow... Not bad! You really look like a boss!" "Haha! What are you talking about? I'
After they had chatted for a while, Richard came in. He pushed Michael to the side and sat down beside Braelynn before saying with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you've become more beautiful." Braelynn's face was stiff for a moment. "Mr. Clark, you must be joking." "I'm telling the truth." Richard looked into her eyes with a passionate gaze. However, Braelynn avoided his gaze and picked up her teacup. Raymond came in by coincidence, so she immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Saunders, here!" Braelynn gave up her seat to Raymond without asking for his opinion. However, he didn't dare to sit down because Richard clearly wanted to pursue her. Thus, Richard would definitely kill him if he sat down! Thus, he went straight to the seat between Abbie and Andrew. "I'll sit here instead." Michael squinted and looked a little gloomy to see him sitting next to Abbie, but the latter was delighted. "Hey, Raymond, are you free in the a
The smile on Ronald's face disappeared instantly. He took out his phone from his pocket. "Are you sure you don't want to eat?" "Of course! I won't rather die than eat dinner with a disgusting b*stard like you!" "Well, if that's the case, don't blame me for doing this then." He turned on his phone and a sound of a woman gasping heavily filled the air. "This video from last night will spread on the Internet in half an hour." "What? You..." Savannah was trembling with anger. Archer had promised to delete this video last night, and he was someone who kept his promises, so why did Ronald have a video? She did not have the time to care about his threat, so she immediately called Archer, but the latter rejected her call. She then grabbed Ashley's phone and used it to call him again. He answered this time, "Hello?" "It's me. Didn't you promise not to share the video from that night? Why did you break your word?" "Huh? Are you insane? I keep my promises
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
