Valeria and Abbie were drinking juice and enjoying their afternoon tea in the spacious private room of the hotel. They were watching the video of Natasya, Talitha, and Raelyn being targeted and chuckled at it. Abbie burst into laughter and was gasping for air when she saw how Natasya fell onto the ground and rushed to the elevator as her life depended on it. "Hahaha! This is such a pleasure to watch!" "Yes, I didn't expect it to be so satisfying!" Valeria pressed against her stomach and giggled. "Are you happy? You feel at ease now, right?" Abbie asked. Valeria nodded and said, "I feel much better indeed!" "You are such a fool as you should have told me earlier about this. I would be able to come up with ideas to mess with her," Abbie was feeling confident. "I'm telling you, I'm good at this game especially when it comes to dealing with shameless b*tches and I always strike precisely." Valeria chuckled and asked, "Why don't you do the same to
Hayden was in a good mood and informed the servant to bring Valeria her favorite juice after they were seated. William sat cross-legged next to Valeria and subconsciously wrapped his hand around her waist. "Dad, what's for dinner?" "It's a secret." "Why would you keep things to yourself when we are already here? I'm telling you, my pregnant wife is being very fussy nowadays. It would be a waste of effort if she is not interested in the dishes that you have prepared." Hayden still didn't want to spill the beans and said, "Valeria is in the spotlight today instead of you. How would I not prepare the dishes according to her appetite? Don't worry about it as the food for dinner tonight is very suitable for a pregnant woman." "What is it then?" William could not resist anymore and stood up, "I'm going to take a look at the kitchen." The servant grinned and said, "Mr. Hayden had bought some truffles to make soup for Valeria. I also came to know that truffles are
Hayden had clearly witnessed Valeria grabbing William's ear. She was caught off guard and pretended to rub his ear a few times as she then politely greeted, "Dad! You're here for a stroll too!" "Yes! What happened to William?" Hayden questioned but was well aware of the truth. "I'm rubbing his ear as a mosquito has bitten him." Valeria continued her actions which had made his ears turned achingly red. Hayden knew everything but decided to keep it to himself and said, "It seems... hmm, there are indeed a lot of mosquitoes in this weather." He then gradually walked past the couple with his hands behind his back. Valeria made a funny face towards William and continued rubbing his ear several times, "Honey, your ears are already red. I'll help you to put some ointment on when we get back home." William had a stern face and said, "How daring of you to pinch my ear when my father and Lucas are here. Are you trying to embarrass me? Hmm?" She glanced at him
Valeria glanced at William and she knew how he must have felt throughout these years. "She would have loved to spend more time with you and watch you eventually grow up and have your own family. However, she had no choice." "Yes, you're right." He reached out and took out all the photos and continued, "I used to hate her but my feelings have now changed." He glanced through the photos of Matilda and said, "I finally understand why my grandparents hate my father so much. If... If my daughter was taken away by a widow and eventually passed away because of him, I would definitely go bonkers! I would not have allowed such a thing to happen no matter how good the man is." It was said that parents would always be protective of their children. Valeria knew that different opinions arose due to different viewpoints, and Hayden would forever be the guilty one in the eyes of Fandrey and Deborah. The couple flipped through the photos and realized there was a final pho
They went to a cafe nearby, and Natasya took off her mask and sunglasses when she entered the room. She smiled as she looked at Azalea, "How have you been lately?" "Not too good!" Azalea sighed and took off her disguise as well. "Didn't you hear that I was blacklisted?" "I don't have time to update myself with your news!" Natasya said arrogantly, implying that Azalea was not worthy of her attention. Azalea did not show the unhappiness she felt, but Natasya provoked her even further. She sneered and said, "Azalea, you are so stupid. I have already helped you so much, but you still haven't succeeded. Are you retarded?" Naturally, she was unhappy to hear this, "Miss Anderson, did you meet me today just to scold me?" "Of course not! I'm also here to help you! You want to get together with Michael, right?" Since Natasya knew her thought process very clearly, she did not hide anything, "Yes! He's my dream man!" "Okay, you'll get him if you follow my
Hearing Michael's name, Abbie pulled away from the kiss to hold her head in pain and rolled around on the sofa. "Abbie!" Michael immediately tried to comfort her, but she was in too much pain and overturned the fruit plates and alcohol on the table onto the floor. "Abbie!" He held her in his arms to comfort her, while calling out, "Help! Somebody help, please!" "Mr. Davis!" A security guard pushed the door open when he heard his voice and was shocked to see the state they were in, "What's wrong with Miss Clark? Let's send her to the hospital immediately!" Michael's eyes were full of rage, "I can send her to the hospital myself. Immediately find the person who was screaming my name at the top of his lungs in the corridor just now!" "Yes!" He rushed out hurriedly to look for the said person while Abbie continued to scream in pain. Michael could care less about everything else and immediately got up to send her to the hospital. When they reached the e
William's expression changed instantly. He had experienced the same excruciating pain, so he could only imagine how much pain Abbie was in, especially as a woman. "Why and when did this happen?" "Just now! I met her in a private room, and someone shouted my name in the corridor on purpose!" "Did you catch the person?" William asked. "Yes, and he said some woman bribed him to do so!" Upon hearing his words, William blurted out, "So Natasya is behind this?" "Natasya? But Abbie didn't provoke her." He analyzed, "Abbie and Valeria messed with her today, so she probably realized that it was them and triggered Abbie on purpose." "She's such a vicious woman. I'm going to f*cking kill her!" Michael gritted his teeth. "Where is Abbie now? Is she at the hospital?" William asked. "Richard sent her to the hospital! I was going to do it, but he happened to be there." Michael told him about it while recalling what had happened. "Ric
With Braelynn's help, Richard did not say anything more, and Michael also sighed in relief with William. Then, they changed the topic and talked about Abbie, "What did the doctor say?" "She's been in pain, so the doctor gave her some sedatives." Richard walked over to her and tucked her in the bed. After confirming that Abbie's situation had nothing to do with Michael, Richard's gaze interchanged between the both of them. "I was too impulsive just now, so I'll apologize! I'm sorry!" "It's alright! We don't need to apologize between us!" Michael said guiltily. However, Richard did not give up after apologizing, "Michael, we've always been brothers, so I have no negative opinions about you. But I beg you to distance yourself from Abbie, please. Please hurry up and marry Azalea for Abbie's sake." "Um..." Michael's expression changed and William interrupted with a frown, "Richard, you shouldn't put it that way. You already know that he doesn't like Az
