After eight hours of first aid, Master Howard was finally pushed out of the emergency room at 4 a.m. The Howard family's four brothers surrounded the doctor and asked about their father's condition. The doctor said that the rescue was in time and he'd be better with a good rest. Upon hearing this, William let out a sigh of relief. A look of disappointment flashed across Charles's eyes, who expected that Master Howard would not make it through this time while he came back to life again. They had been waiting in the hospital for so long and everyone was very tired. Charles looked at his watch. "The hour grows late. Since our father has been out of danger, you can go back to rest. Leave the work to auntie and the caretaker. I'll arrange for a few more servants to come over to take care of father tomorrow morning." Philip and George were all for it, so the three brothers left. While William did not go but stayed in the ward. Followed by his two younger
Valeria stormed out of the company and rushed into the car outside. The shamelessness of the couple was beyond her imagination. She was in urgent need of expressing her feelings to somebody. The only one she could count on now was Bob. So Valeria sent a message to Bob, "Hard time for me now!" In the hospital, William was resting with his eyes closed on the sofa in a senior ward. A nurse covered him with a blanket gently to protect him from a cold. But William opened his eyes the moment her hand touched William. "Sorry to bother you. Mr. Howard!" The nurse said with guilt. "Nope, I'm awake." William smiled and took a look at his phone. He immediately replied, "What's wrong?" "I didn't get approved when I resigned. Mason refused to sign on the paper and told me to wait. He must be on purpose. " "Well, relax. I'll sort him out and help you blow off steam!" Valeria was pissed before Bob alleged that he was going to deal with Mason
Ashley and Julie were extremely happy and satisfied with the wide spread of Valeria's scandal over the Internet. The mother and daughter opened champagne to celebrate, "Mom, the scandal about Valeria has been spread, and she was in the way of getting her reputation sullied." "Yeah, this b*tch was so audacious to throw us out of the house. I will make her end up with a disaster!" Julie laughed sarcastically. Ronald and Julie kissed and made up with the support of Elizabeth, and showtime was to begin soon. "My father will be pissed at her if he knows the scandal of Valeria! I can't wait to know how he would sort Valeria out!" Ashley cachinnated. "We can't just wait for your father's move, we need to begin our next step ourselves. And the first one is to move back to the family under justification!" With a greedy look, Julie slowly said, "After we manage to move back, we need to immediately make another wave to uncover her plagiarism, which is to insult
Posts and discussions took over the Internet and the previous news about Valeria and pimp disappeared in a flash. People who had previously scolded Valeria began apologizing for misunderstanding her, and some managed to find the author of the original article. The author was accused of her purpose. But the author who had been bribed by Ashley only apologized, explaining that she was writing a novel instead of aiming at Valeria, and that the article must had been exploited by someone else. But nobody accept it. The public, feeling duped, dug up her account on every platform on the Internet and lashed out at her actions. Far more than that. The author's address and phone number were exposed by Internet users, and she was buried in a torrent of abuse, phone calls and text messages that followed. Some even threw trashes like dead mice, rotten tomato and smelly eggs into her house. The gate was covered with disgusting rubbish. It was said that the author had mo
William got in the car with large strides. Having been submerged in the darkness, Marcus greeted William as he saw William with a smile, "Mr. Howard!" William looked at Marcus with a frown, "Why are you here?" "I worry about you, sir. And I need to report things happened today, by the way." "What happened today was the work of Julie and her daughter. That figures." He said Indifferently. No one else would play such vicious tricks to Valeria except for Julie and her daughter. "Yes, but Mason Eich also took part in it. He spent big bucks in paid posters and that's why it ended up like this." The name caused a look of disgust to flash across William's eyes. Marcus continued. "Mason Eich doesn't know you. Hard to tell what means Ashley had used to make him believe that you are a pimp, and so he made such a scene. The original author had been driven out of B city under our attack. Do we need to get the author under our control?" "No need!" William r
Elizabeth took out a thermos bottle from the bag on her hand, "I've made chicken soup for Master Howard." "Our father is in poor health and the doctor advised him to eat a bland diet. Such greasy food like chicken soup is not allowed." William replied lightly. "Then you can take it, for your hard work on taking care of father!" Elizabeth laughed. "I don't like it. You can keep it for my brother, your husband." William refused. Elizabeth felt embarrassed to be so directly rejected by William. She had no choice but to change the topic, "What did the doctor say our dad should have? Next time I'll cook something our dad likes and send it over." "Something light as the doctor said. But I've ordered someone to make breakfast for father, so don't bother." Though Elizabeth invited a snub, she didn't get angry. A mild reply still, "Then that will count on you, William." William nodded, "I'm glad to be of help of my own father!" Then Valeria sent a
Thinking about this, Valeria glanced at Bob. Bob smiled, and his eyes sparkled like bright stars. Bob was definitely the most good-looking man she had ever seen. He was just like a god. "It must be because of his good looks that Marcus is so kind to him. It's too dangerous!" Bob was her man now. She would not allow anyone else to keep thinking about him! Not even Marcus! She had to figure out if Marcus had a thing for Bob, and the first step was to get it straight on Marcus's sexual orientation. Bob had been the driver for Marcus for a while, he should know if Marcus had a girlfriend. With this thought, Valeria gently asked, "Does Marcus have a girlfriend?" "Nope?" William shook his head, not getting why Valeria would suddenly talk about Marcus's personal affairs. "How come he doesn't have a girlfriend at his age?" Having got a "no" answer made Valeria more anxious. "How can such a rich young man not have a girlfriend? He should hav
They were released the next day. The first thing they did when they got out of their captivity was to report back. Ronald Brown received word that Valeria had nothing to do with Richard, and that Valeria was living with a very ordinary man, a handsome man, who did not have a decent job. Hearing this, Ronald turned blue with anger. He couldn't believe his daughter, was living with such an ordinary man. It really pissed him off! This ran counter to his plan to have Valeria marry off to another wealthy family for some time after she and Mason had broken up. But look at what Valeria had done now. She was living with another man. It would disconcert his plan. No, he couldn't give up his plan. Valeria must leave that ordinary man! He must find a way to make Valeria break up with that man! The news Mason got was similar to Ronald's. It was that Valeria and Richard had nothing to do with each other and she was living with a tall and handsome man.
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
