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
Abbie was stunned for a moment and thought that she had misread. Her hand then subconsciously touched the tattoo to clarify what she had seen. Michael's body stiffened at this and reached out to hold Abbie's hand while he turned around to face her slowly. His gaze on her was gentle, and this made Abbie's heartbeat sped up and flushed. "Michael…" With the call of his name, Michael leaned towards her without hesitation and pressed his lips against Abbie's while she blinked her eyes blankly. She did not move or push him away but just stared at Michael as she was taken aback. Her head was clouded with uncontrollable thoughts and they were coming at her all at once. Moments she spent with Michael played through her mind like a movie, flashing through one after another. Abbie could not comprehend them all in that instant, so she could only continue to stare at Michael, who was still kissing her. Michael, on the other hand, was delighted t
Ronald closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Savannah went to the kitchen with a satisfied look as she thought she had successfully drugged Ronald with the milk she had given him. She did not have to worry about anything right now, as Ronald would be dead asleep for the entire day. Savannah felt hungry after a long night yesterday, so she opened the fridge to see what was inside for her to choose from. Suddenly, Raelyn's phone call came through while Savannah was filling up her stomach. "Have you seen the announcement?" "Yeah!" "My brother spared no efforts indeed. I reckon that his wife and daughter would be in all the headlines these few days. What are you planning to do today?" Raelyn asked. "I'll follow your plan accordingly and send the video over to my father later tonight. Don't worry about it." "Well, where do you intend to put on your show?" Raelyn asked once more. &
Raelyn knew what did Natasya mean, so Raelyn held back the urge to tell Natasya about these past few days while still in the presence of the bodyguards. They chatted comfortably until they reached the hotel. Raelyn let out a sigh as she closed the door and said, "I can't take it anymore. I'm so pissed!" Then, she told Natasya all about how Gavin and Archer had been treating her, as well as the infuriating incidents that happened these few days. Natasya listened to her hardships while pouring them glasses of water. She only spoke after Raelyn had finished complaining. "I know Abbie and was close to her back then. She is not particularly great at keeping secrets, but I have not heard about Valeria before. I shall get a good look at her during the party tonight." "You should. You would then see how annoying she is," Raelyn's anger boiled when Valeria was brought up and continued, "She looks as b*tchy as her mother Natalie
