Abbie finally stopped after she was pulled away by Raymond and a group of people. Talitha, who was beaten, was injured seriously to the extent that blood was all over her face. She was then sent to a hospital for treatment hurriedly. Her pretty face was no longer recognizable, with big black bruises around her eyes and a swollen face. Not only that, but her nose and mouth were broken too, and they were bleeding profusely. She looked utterly terrible! After Raymond had sent Talitha to the hospital, he did not dare call Raelyn to inform her about what happened. Raelyn was very protective of the people who were close to her, so she would definitely seek revenge on Abbie if she were to see Talitha's miserable appearance. By then, it would make matters worse, so it was better to tell Archer and Gavin about this first. As he though about this, Raymond called Archer and Gavin to inform them about what happened. When Archer and Gavin heard about the news, the both of them we
Savannah's eyes widened as she looked at Raelyn. "Using death to clear my name? Are you kidding me?" "I'm not asking you to die. All you need to do is record a video and say that William schemed against you and Ronald, along with my brother and dad in order to be with Valeria. And that they forced you to leave the Saunders family. Then, William continued to make things difficult for you by accusing you of killing his mom. In order to do so, he secretly tweaked the test results of the supplements to prove you guilty. You were framed and having to serve Ronald everyday was a living hell. So, you can only die to prove your innocence." Raelyn took a deep breath before she continued, "After you record the video, you'll send it to your dad. He would definitely not ignore it when he knows that you're going to commit suicide, so, he'll definitely come looking for you. You would have to prepare the drug beforehand and wait for his arrival. Then, you'll take the drug in front of him,
When Valeria and William arrived at the hospital, Richard had just reached there too. Then, the three of them went to the treatment room together. Abbie had told Valeria that she wasn't injured, but in fact, besides some scratches on her arms and neck, a few of her fingernails were broken too. Inside, the doctor had just applied for medicine and bandaged her injuries when Richard came in. As soon as Abbie saw him, she let out a pitiful cry. Richard looked upset as he said, "What are you? An animal? How could you start a fight with someone just like that? Don't you feel embarrassed?" Abbie was aggrieved as she heard this. "I didn't want to, but she was bad-mouthing me back then! She told a woman that I'm ugly and that I had a bad temper. If that was it, I would have let it slide. But no! She even said that I had gone around seducing every man I met when I was abroad. I couldn't just let her say those things about me, can I?" "What? How dare she say that? Yo
Richard looked at Raelyn coldly and said, "I don't think you're clear about who went too far first. Tonight's incident was caused by Talitha who provoked Abbie first. She was bad-mouthing Abbie! That was why Abbie started the fight." "I don't believe you! How could someone as gentle as Talitha provoke Abbie? On the contrary, Abbie is famous for her bad temper, so she has to be the one who provoked Talitha first!" "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is how we show my lawyer and the judge the truth! Anyway, I have a recording of a witness of the incident. I'm telling you, if it weren't for Gavin and President Saunders, I wouldn't be this patient to come and talk this through with you. How dare she accuse my sister of seducing men abroad! If she wasn't already beaten up, I would've made sure she ended up toothless! And only then would I bring this to court." "You can't blame others for looking ugly yourself, right? There's no way to prove anyth
Meanwhile, Valeria sent Abbie home after her injuries had been treated. She felt that she shouldn't just leave Abbie alone right now as given what happened tonight, and it was the sensible thing to do. Abbie teased her and said, "Valeria, I remember that we often spend the night together when I first returned from overseas back then. However, ever since you married William, we don't even have the chance to do this anymore. Your husband is so protective of you! I shall get in more fights in the future, so that I would have an excuse to steal you away from him!" "It looks like someone is holding a grudge against my husband. Come on, we're best friends. We're practically sisters! We can always count on each other, right? Our friendship would never change, not even a little, despite me being married." "That's true. Anyway, my brother blew a fuse tonight. If it weren't for you, he would never have let me off the hook this easily." Abbie stuck out her tongue and continued,
Instead of having a good time drinking, William was forced to listen to Michael's complaints and whines throughout the entire night. William didn't know that Michael had so much on his mind. Michael had a few drinks while talking about his and Abbie's love life, from how they met until they broke up. William couldn't take it anymore and with the alcohol kicking in, he fell asleep on the sofa. The next morning, William was awakened by the numbness on his arm and the sun shining brightly on him. He squinted his eyes and laughed at himself while rubbing on his numbed arm. Then, he kicked Michael who was still dead asleep on the sofa, and said, "The sun is up, you should be too!" However, Michael muttered in response. He flipped to his side and went back to sleep. As he saw this, William shook his head and went to wash himself up. William's phone rang while he was in the shower, so he quickly wrapped a towel around himself and rushed outside to pick up h
Abbie and Valeria drove to the seaside villa. They were as excited as kids at Christmas when they arrived. Abbie was already amazed as they entered the hallway of the villa with the food in their hands. Then, after she took a tour around the entire villa including the basement and balcony, she gave a thumbs-up and said, "Oh! My! God! Oh, my f*cking God!" Valeria burst into laughter and said, "Come on, let's go on a stroll along the beach. Then, we shall make ourselves a feast tonight." Soon, they put on their slippers and went for a walk at the beach. The seawater sparkled in blue and green as the both of them dashed towards the ocean's embrace. Waves splashed onto them every few seconds, and they were entirely soaked within a few minutes. When they had used up all their energy, they laid on the beach with their faces towards the sky, panting after a fun time. Abbie tilted her head to the side and asked Valeria, "Did Willi
Valeria opened the door and said, "My husband is here!" Abbie's hair was still wet and she was surprised when she saw William. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Come down when you're ready, I'll head downstairs to prepare dinner." Abbie looked away after seeing that William had gone downstairs and asked, "Is your husband worried that I would sell you off? Why is he keeping an eye on you so closely?" "Of course not. Abbie, he didn't come here alone, Michael is here too." Valeria knew that this would eventually be brought to light, hence there was no point in hiding it from Abbie. "It's fine, I can handle it. I wouldn't make a fool out William," Abbie promised. Meanwhile, Michael was cooking up a piece of steak in the kitchen with an apron around his waist. William stared at him by the door and asked, "Can you handle it? If not, I'll take it over from here." "Yes, I'm good. She used
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
