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
When Natasya and Azalea saw Richard taking Abbie, who looked like she was in much pain, to the hospital in a rush, they drove away. They went back to the coffee shop, and Azalea immediately said, "I can't believe that that was Abbie just now! Serves her right for being so arrogant all the time! Miss Anderson, what did you do?" There was no way Natasya was going to reveal her tricks to Azalea, so she smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you because it's a secret, but I can help you get Michael, on the condition that you listen to my orders." Azalea was a little disappointed because she thought that Natasya would tell her the truth instead of keeping her in suspense, "Alright, I'll listen to you. What do you want me to do next?" "Hmm..." As soon as Natasya began to speak, Azalea's phone rang. She glanced at it and got up, "I need to go out and take this call." Natasya looked at her coldly. The fact that she had to leave to take the call showed
William went to the bathroom to take a shower while Valeria leaned against the headboard and scrolled through her phone. Her search history was full of answers regarding the question, "How to help husband who is tired from taking care of a pregnant wife." She read all the answers with a racing heart. Some people said that men have cheating instincts. What would happen if he was unsatisfied and went out to cheat? The word "cheating" gave her a fright since she would die if the man she loved the most cheated on her. In order to prevent William from doing so, she had to help him. Therefore, she secretively looked at the following content. The more she read, the more she blushed, like a riped red cherry. The sound of the water flowing in the bathroom stopped, and William came out with wet hair. When he saw her still leaning on the head of the bed, he asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" "I'm waiting for you!" She stuttered. "W
"I wanted to let you sleep a little longer! Why are you blaming me?" William said with innocence as Valeria pinched his arm. He whined in pain, "Ouch, it hurts. Honey, don't be so violent to me so early in the morning, okay?" Damn him! All she did was pinch his arm, but she still cast a wary glance at Hayden. As if he hadn't heard a thing William had said, Hayden stood up from the sofa with a smile, "Since Valeria has woken up, let's have breakfast." For breakfast, the maid prepared a bird's nest for Valeria, while William and Hayden had congee with steamed buns. As Valeria ate the bird's nest, she stared at the bun in William's hands with envy. He smiled and asked, "Do you want to try them? The ones that maid makes are very good." She nodded, and he gave her the bun he had already taken a bite out of. She tasted it and immediately said that it was good. She finished the bun that was given to her, so he took another one and handed it to her
William did not intend to hide anything anymore, "It was Natasya who did it!" "Why? They don't have any grudges against each other, why would she do that to Abbie?" "I don't know either. Maybe Abbie had done something to her in the past, so she wants revenge? Or she just wanted to do experiment on her?" William didn't know Natasya's motives either. "Damn it, I won't let this vicious and shameless woman off the hook!" Richard's eyes were filled with rage, and William quickly stopped him, "Now's not the time for you to take action because I have already started my plan to deal with her." He told Richard about how Natasya was going to use the blood vermin to control him, "It's the fifth day today, so let's let her do it to the end. An eye for an eye, right? You can sit back and watch things play out." After hearing William's idea of how to deal with Natasya, Richard suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Fine, I'll listen to you and let this vicious a
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
