William had only received the news about Elizabeth at eight o'clock the next morning. He and Valeria had enjoyed their spontaneous camp by the beach and had watched the sunrise together too. As they were about to head back to have breakfast, William received a call from Marcus. William was calm when he heard that Elizabeth had regained her consciousness, "Do not let Charles know about this and inform Lamont to bring Mason along to visit Elizabeth immediately. Mason will tell Elizabeth what she should do next." Valeria, who had overheard William and Marcus' conversation, was surprised as she said, "I thought Elizabeth would be in a coma forever. Her recovery would make Charles go bonkers!" "Yup. Let's wait and see what Elizabeth has to say." "Do you think that she will tell the truth?" "I'm not sure either as she did have her hands dirty. After all, she was one of the masterminds behind this. She would still be punished by the law if she reveals the truth.
Seeing Charles jumping up, Savannah was shocked. Raelyn also knew that he was serious. "Mr. Howard, you'd better deal with this right now. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." "I'm going to the hospital right now!" He got up and left immediately. He ran down the stairs while calling for his driver and bodyguard. "Where are you two? Come out now. Let's go to the hospital immediately! Hurry!" Savannah laughed coldly as she heard the chaos downstairs. She stared at Raelyn unfriendly and said, "I was going to look for you today, so it's great that you're already here. So, why were you coercing me to commit suicide?" "How could you ask me this question? We have been friends for so many years, and I have no reason to do that to you. It's so disappointing to hear you ask me this," Raelyn sneered in her heart as she put on a solemn expression. "I did all of this for your good. Think about everything I have done over the years. Have I ever done anything bad
Panic flashed across Charles' face. Subconsciously, he looked at Andrew but was met with an ice-cold gaze, causing his heart to quiver. "B*tch! You are talking nonsense! Andrew, whatever she said is false. This b*tch is willing to say anything in order to hurt me. You must not be fooled by her!" "Are you afraid? I thought you were fearless?" Elizabeth laughed heartily. "Seeing that you're so afraid, I'm relieved. This proves that you can't run away anymore. It doesn't feel good to lose everything, huh?" "You b*tch! How dare you scheme against me like this?" He pounced on her angrily, but Mason stopped him. "Don't you dare hurt my aunt!" "Your aunt? How dare a b*stard like you call her your aunt?" He was so angry that he spoke with no filter. "This b*tch is not your aunt, she is your mother! She secretly had you with your dead father, and she pretended that you were her nephew and kept you by her side to carry on the Eich family's glory. She is one o
Savannah, with her disheveled hair and pale face, was brought to the Howard family's old estate by Ashley. At the door, the bodyguards stopped them from entering. "Sir Hayden is not at home." She refused to believe it. "Let me go in and take a look!" Hayden had already ordered the bodyguards to not let her in. So, they wouldn't let her do as she pleased. They stopped her and refused to let go so she shouted angrily, "Just you wait!" Ashley gave her advice, "It must be Hayden's order, so they won't let you in. You should start your act right here, right now. I don't believe that Hayden won't come out to see you." Therefore, Savannah screamed at the door for a while, but the bodyguards closed the door and ignored her. She was exhausted and covered in sweat by then. During Savannah's act, Ashley had been watching her in the car. When she saw that no one paid attention to her, a cold smile appeared on her lips. It was needless to say that Hayden wasn't
Hayden was shocked by his statement. "Andrew, did Elizabeth tell you this?" Hayden didn't believe that Savannah and Charles had something to do with the death of his beloved wife. He wouldn't believe it no matter what, "She must have made it up. Savannah has always had a good relationship with your grandmother. They are like best friends and have never fought before. Why would Savannah do that to her?" "There are too many reasons. For their personal benefits and for the inheritance that might go to the child in her stomach. They would do anything for money. Other people might not be able to do something so cruel, but it's possible if it's Charles and Savannah." Andrew looked at Hayden's denying expression and sneered, "I know you don't believe me. You've always treated Charles and Savannah as good guys, but they may not be as nice as you think. Not to mention the other things, based on their actions against William and Archer, and Savannah poisoning you, do you still
William could hear wailing sounds even from outside the door. The voices seemed to be coming from George and Philip's wives. He quickened his pace to enter the hall, and he saw Savannah's corpse covered in white cloth. Philip and George's wives were crying by the side, while Philip and George themselves were also standing by the side, shedding tears. William's gaze fell on the sofa in the living room. Hayden's face was pale as he sat still. Upon seeing his appearance, Lucas and his maid greeted him. "William! You're back!" After hearing his servants greeting him, Hayden raised his head and looked over. William greeted him and said, "Dad!" Hayden nodded tiredly. "You're here." "My condolences!" William walked up and looked at him. "William!" Hayden called out to him. "Yes!" "I... I used to..." William reached out and grabbed his hand. "Dad, I know what you want to say. It's useless to say anything now. Let's deal with this first."
Ashley was nowhere to be seen. Lucas hurried back and told William, "William, Ashley is missing. Is there something wrong with her?" "There must be, but it doesn't matter. If she stayed here, it might have saved her life. Now that she left, it would be her fault if she died." Lucas was very surprised to hear that. He thought that Savannah died by attempting to commit suicide herself. However, William's words hinted otherwise. He asked, "Is there someone else behind this?" "More or less." "Who is it?" Lucas asked angrily. "I don't know." He shook his head since he didn't have any evidence to say that it was Raelyn. If Ashley didn't escape, they might have been able to get something out of her under the bodyguards' watch. However, she had already left, so there was no point in making assumptions. Raelyn had been so eager to kill Savannah, so she must have been worried that her secret would be leaked. However, William didn't expect that a
A cold smile appeared on William's face. Just as he had expected, Ashley was going to die just like that. Seeing that he did not speak, Marcus continued, "According to the forensics analysis, her predicted time of death was on the afternoon of the day she escaped." "So she dug her own grave," William said as he put down his cotton swab. "What's the Anthony family doing?" "Hardy wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he stopped. Andrew has been in the company these days, and the negative impact on the Howard Group has subsided. So, nothing else will happen in the future." As a matter of fact, Hardy was definitely involved in the spreading of negative news regarding the Howard family. If it wasn't for him, the impact wouldn't have been so great, and the Howard family's stock value wouldn't have dropped so much. William's gaze was cold and sinister as he sneered. "Mr. Anthony really wants a piece of the pie, doesn't he? Well, we'll have to see if he e
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
