William narrowed his eyes, "I want the antidote for the medicine that you sold to Declan. Can you get it for me?" "But... that medicine is my grandfather's. I'm not sure..." "Are you saying that you refuse to do it?" William asked coldly. "Wait, I'll try! I'll try my best!" Gonzalec wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "No, you must get it done! Do you understand?" William laughed coldly and continued, "If you can't do it, I'll then hand your family over to your archenemy. I'm sure he will be pleased to seek his revenge like how you did to his family back then." "I'll do it! William, you have my word!" Cold sweat emerged from Gonzalec's forehead. William was indeed a silent killer. "We shall wait for your good news then!" William stood up and walked out as the guard came in to unlock the handcuffs on Gonzalec. His body was soaking wet and he continued to sit on the chair without making a move. Bobby, who was following William, turned around and st
"The driver?" Fandrey's reminder had made Sammuel stunned for a moment. He recalled the situation from that night in his mind, unfortunately, no bells were rung. "Mr. Floyd, I can't recall anything about the driver. I only remember that the car drove away as soon as the president of Wolf Group got on the car. I didn't see the driver clearly at all." "I've noticed him as I was behind the president at that time. My first sight was on the driver and he looked almost the same as this man." "Can it be that you might have mistaken him? If he really is the president's chauffeur, why will he be the Howards' bodyguard? The president definitely has a much bigger influence than the Howards, right?" Sammuel's words made Fandrey laugh, "Just forget about it. I'll give you a new task instead. From now on, you and your men shall spare no efforts to keep an eye on William. I want to know all about his precise whereabouts." After hanging up the phone with Sammuel, Fandrey
After they had breakfast in the early morning, Archer brought along Raymond to visit William and Valeria in the hospital. Archer brought along food and flowers as usual. He then cheerfully greeted them as he entered the ward, "William, Val, I'm here to see you again!" "Mr. Saunders, please have a seat here!" William invited Archer with a smile and glanced at Raymond. He did not dare to look at William as he lowered his head and seemed uncomfortable. Based on Bobby's information, William knew that the accident had something to do with Raymond. He was clearly feeling guilty judging from his reaction. However, William decided not to confront him as he believe that a smart man like Raymond would never repeat his mistake when he knew that he was at fault. He smiled and patted Raymond on the shoulder, "Have a seat!" Raymond felt increasingly awkward as he glanced at William's cheerful smile. William had always forgiven him when he screwed things up because he w
Silas boarded the plane with several bodyguards to keep an eye on Gonzalec as they made their way to Kenoland. The plane landed at Kenoland at eight in the morning. They then got into the car and headed straight to the deep mountains. The condition of the road was getting worse as they made their way deep into the mountains. Fortunately, their vehicle was a four-wheel-drive that was in excellent condition, otherwise, they could not have continued their journey. Gonzalec was well-behaved after being warned by Silas last night. He remained silent throughout the journey from the airplane to the mountains, as he was afraid that Silas would teach him a lesson. The road condition had worsened and was increasingly bumpy. Silas leaned back on the car seat and closed his eyes to rest. He remained calm despite the bumpy and rocky road. Gonzalec had been watching him carefully. Suddenly, a big rock rolled down from the mountain and almost hit the car. The bodyguard who was
The heavy wooden door creaked open and the interior came into view. An old man in his eighties or nineties dressed in worn-out clothes was sitting on a lounge chair in the room. He lifted his gaze when he heard the sound, and his cloudy eyes lit up when he saw Gonzalec. He replied with a hoarse voice, "Gonzalec, you're back!" "It's me, grandpa! I came back to visit you!" Gonzalec forced a smile and walked towards the old man. The old man reached out to hold Gonzalec's hand. Gonzalec subconsciously withdrew his hand as he did not want to be held by his grandfather. Silas had observed that Gonzalec was afraid of any skinship with the old man, and there must be a reason behind it. As Gonzalec refused to be held, the old man sighed and said, "You haven't come back to visit me for more than a decade. You came back for a favor to ask, right?" "Yes, grandpa. I want the medicine that you have given to my friend last time. Do you still have it?" "Nope!"
Gonzalec's grandpa and Silas went out of the room. Gonzalec stood far away and looked around. He was then surprised when he saw that Silas and his grandpa came out from the room safe and sound. Gonzalec was genuinely afraid of his grandfather as he thought that the old man would pull up some dirty tricks towards Silas. Silas said calmly, "Take your grandfather along with you when we leave as he is no longer young. What if something happens to him here?" "But..." How would Gonzalec be willing to do so? Come to think of it, his grandfather was the poison in their family and things would get messy if he brought his grandfather along with him. Gonzalec's grandfather was not foolish to expect that his grandson would take him away. However, he was still saddened by his grandson's behavior. His grandpa waved his hand and said, "I'm used to living here and will not be able to adjust to a new environment. You can go now and don't worry about me." "Has he give
Valeria immediately let go of William's ear when she saw Hayden. She then hid behind William and secretly stuck her tongue out. Oh no! Hayden had seen her grabbing William's ear. Would Hayden tell her off? Hayden had a serious expression on his face as he clasped his hands behind his back. However, he was grinning secretly as he never thought that William could be under control by his wife. It would be interesting if he was able to take a picture of William begging for mercy towards Valeria as she pinched his ear. William greeted Hayden as if nothing had happened. Valeria hesitantly addressed Hayden too and continued to hide behind William. Hayden said gently, "Have you finished the fruits? I've bought more for you, as well as your favorite nuts." Valeria then breathed a sigh of relief as Hayden was being kind to her. She then poked her head out from William's back and thanked him sweetly, "Thank you, dad!" "Avoid eating desserts and spicy food
In Natasya's ward, screams and smashes sounded one after another. Raelyn was terrified as Natasya suddenly went crazy on the bed. She immediately rang the bell while screaming, "Doctor! Doctor! Please help!" The doctor and nurse hurriedly entered the ward and were also shocked at Natasya's behavior. Natasya was racked in pain and screamed at the top of her lungs, "It's too painful! I can't take this anymore! Ah... Ah..." The doctor and nurse pressed her down and Natasya fainted after they swiftly gave her an injection. "What's going on? What on earth is happening?" Raelyn caught a breather and asked the doctor. "Well... we don't know," the doctor examined Natasya and continued, "Her wound has been split apart and she needs to undergo surgery to have it stitched up again." "You are so incapable. Did you do something to my daughter during surgery that has caused her to react this way?" Raelyn questioned. "That's impossible. The lead surgeon is t
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
