Marcus agreed with a smile on his face, and William instructed Silas, "It looks like Devon still has his guard up because he's arranging for someone to accompany Gonzalec to visit his grandfather. Get ahead of them and ask his grandfather about the blood vermin first, then we'll wait for them."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Silas nodded and then asked him, "Mr. Howard, Devon definitely wants to use the blood vermin against you. The name itself sounds so nasty, so it should be something really bad. You have to be careful to not come into contact with it... Should I ask Gonzalec's grandfather to give them a fake one?"

William shook his head and said, "No, it has to be real! It won't be fun if it's fake! All you need to do is ask him about the details of the blood vermin and it'll be fine."

Seeing Valeria's worried face, he reached out to hold her hand, "Don't worry, I was unaware of Natasya's schemes back then, so she had the opportunity to take advantage of me. N

    Paisley did not know anything about what had happened to Hardy. When she received the call, she was still sleeping soundly under her blanket. Hearing that he was in the police station, she immediately woke up and called Bevan. However, Bevan's phone was confiscated, so he could not be reached.  She had no choice but to call the Acma Corporation's lawyer and asked him to go to the police station immediately. She arrived one step ahead of him. When she saw Hardy, who was red with embarrassment and fury, she took a step back in fright.  "Brother? Why are you so in a mess?"  After being brought to the police station, Hardy had lost all of his dignity. Seeing his sister, he asked eagerly, "Where is Bevan? Where the hell did he go? Why didn't he come with you?" "I couldn't reach him through his phone, and I don't know where he is." Hearing her explanation, he was sure that something had happened to him, so he said in a hoarse voice, "Call the l

    Seeing Hardy vomiting out a mouthful of blood, Paisley screamed in shock. Hardy, on the other hand, felt his thoughts clearing up, and he could think better. Just now, his mind was clouded with anger, but felt much better now that he had spat out the blood.  Hardy realized that being stubborn wouldn't do him any good. If the disgusting video of him was spread to the public, his whole life would be over, and his father would never let him continue to be the president of the Acma Corporation.  He was not the only son of the Anthony family. His brothers had always been targeting his position with hostility. In his current position, he could do whatever he wanted. However, if he lost his reputation and power, he would be left with nothing. When the time comes, nothing would be able to save him.  After thinking it through, he sighed in relief and said to Paisley, "Call Talitha and tell her that I agree to all of her requirements!" "Brother!" She did

    Not long after Acma Corporation's statement had been released, Devon called an acquaintance of his to release Hardy and his men. Hardy sighed pitifully after leaving the police station, "I swear that I will get my revenge on Devon and his family one day!" After he said that, he was frightened by his reflection on the car window, "This... I..." His face, which he had always been proud of, was smeared with paint like a clown's. This was how he looked like the whole time in the police station! No wonder his interrogators gave him weird looks. When he thought of the video on Paisley's phone of him being humiliated by those old women, he fainted due to his intense anger.  Hearing that Hardy had passed out, William burst into laughter. "He couldn't stand this little bit of humiliation? Speaking of which, I even held back this time! If I were to spread those videos online, he would probably die from embarrassment!" "There's a saying that evil people have lo

    William knew that he couldn't ask too much because he faked his amnesia, if he did, people would suspect him. But he couldn't not do anything about it. He subtly hinted Sammuel, trusting that he was loyal to Fandrey, so he would relay his message with full accuracy. Then, Fandrey will make the inferences himself.  As he thought about it, he looked at Sammuel and said, "You know that Natasya's uncle is in jail and waiting for his death sentence, right?" "I know, I heard that Declan has done many evil deeds to bear these consequences." "That's true, Devon has been working with Raelyn's company to smuggle and sell illegal drugs here, and those drugs are a menace to society." "Illegal drugs? What kinds?" Sammuel's heart thumped. It was impossible for William to ask about the Floyd family's business for no reason, let alone randomly mentioning the illegal drugs, so he immediately asked. "I don't know what kind of illegal drugs they are, but I know that th

    "Stop!" Veronica abruptly interrupted her, "Angel, you can't talk nonsense like this, This is a big deal. If your grandfather finds out that you've been eavesdropping on him, he'll scold you to death." Angel looked at her serious expression and immediately defended herself, "I wasn't eavesdropping! I just happened to hear it. Besides, I'm only telling you, you won't snitch on me to grandpa, right?" "Of course not, but you can't repeat this behavior in the future, understand?" Veronica warned. "I won't, but Mom, I really want to go back and take care of William, but grandpa won't let me. What should I do?" "My child, what are you thinking? William is part of the Howard family, and they aren't just any ordinary family, there are probably many people taking care of him right now. Why would he need you?" "That's different, the people in the Howard family probably don't treat him as well as us. Besides, Natasya keeps on seducing him. Her whole family is suspici

    Silas reached home at dawn the next day and reported everything to William.  "Did Gonzalec and Devon's men came back as well?" William asked. "They came back on the same flight as me. They're probably on the way to meet Devon with the blood vermin and croton antidote," Silas answered with a smile. "That's good! We're finally getting to the interesting part," William smiled and dismissed Silas because he was worried that he would be too tired, "You've worked hard, so you can go and rest!" "I'm not tired, I already rested on the plane," Silas replied, "Sir William, do you want me to go to the hospital to inquire about it?" "You don't have to, I'll arrange someone else to do it." Since William insisted that he rested, he left.  William called Bobby and said, "Arrange two people to go to the hospital to check out the situation." As he was on the phone, Valeria rubbed her eyes and opened the door, "Honey, what are you doing again?" "You'

    News of Natasya with an upset stomach spread like wildfire and ruined her reputation. By the time she woke up, everyone already knew about it. Someone had written a specific headline that went like, "Natasya, self-proclaimed to be the prettiest person in Ruthorham, now the sh*ttiest person in Ruthorham," the same headline was published everywhere.  Beautiful pictures of her were used, but people edited it with pictures of feces to make it disgusting and funny.  The title "Sh*ttiest person in Ruthorham" pushed her fame to new heights, and her reputation was completely destroyed. When Valeria saw the title, she wheezed while laughing. William held her in his arms and massaged her stomach, "Alright, cut it out, if you continue laughing like this, it will hurt the baby." "No, it won't. If I'm happy, the baby will be happy too. Hahaha, I feel so good!" She still couldn't control herself, "Hubby, did you get someone to come up with the nickname "Sh*t

    Abbie got in the car and started the engine. Then, she spat fiercely, "We have such bad luck! If you hadn't stopped me back there, I would have beaten Talitha up!" "You can't hit her! She's pregnant now. If something bad happened to her child, it would be your fault, and we're still waiting to use her pregnancy to make trouble!" Valeria smiled. "Ah, you stopped me because of that?" Abbie came to a realization, "I was wondering why you were so calm when you saw them, you must have really fought the urge to hit that b*tch!" "Yes, I wanted to hit both her and her sister, but I can't be impulsive in order for my plan to succeed. It just began, so I can't mess it up." They laughed and chatted all the way until they reached the famous Spanish restaurant in B City. It was noontime for lunch, so the traffic outside was very congested. After a little while, Abbie found an empty spot to park her car and pulled Valeria straight to the restaurant. The private room the

    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
