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.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, Valeria rushed to the rotating restaurant in B City. She went through the door of the box and saw Ashley and Julie sitting there with Ronald. Valeria instantly turned dark. Julie had to maintain her good stepmother appearance in front of Ronald. She stood up with a smile and said, "Good to see you, Valeria. Come here and have a seat!" Ashley followed Julie to her feet and enthusiastically held Valeria's hand, as if she and Valeria had never had a problem. Seeing Ashley feigning innocence, Valeria felt disgusted. She avoided Ashley's touch and looked at Ronald, "What do you want, my dear father?" "Come in and sit down, Valeria. I've order the dishes you like. We talked over dinner." Ronald also forced a smile. Valeria knew Ronald had bad intentions behind his smile. It was a challenge for Valeria to cover up her disgust while dining with the mistress and her daughter. Valeria wanted to turn around and leave, but when she t

When she was determined to be with Bob, she knew that there would come such a day, just, not today. After a second of surprise, Valeria refused Ronald without a second thought, "No way! I won't break up with him!" Valeria's disobedience made Ronald so furious that he threatened, "It is not up to you. I'm telling you, if you continue to be together with that man, don't blame me for being rude to him." "What are you going to do?" Valeria's heart sank when she got Ronald's words. "How dare he seduce my daughter! I'm gonna break his legs!" "This is a civilized community ruled by law. You command a lot of respect and you should be afraid of being charged of violence." "Just a skint man. So what if I kill him?" Ronald sneered. Seeing the ferocious look in Ronald's eyes, Valeria shivered. She knew very well that Bo

    The two men in black wore ghost masks and looked hideous in the light of the headlights. Ashley was so scared that she screamed. Then she hurried into the car and locked the door. The two phantasmal guy stiffly approached Ashley with bloody hammers and knives in their hands. Trembling and panicking, Ashley picked up the phone and made a call. The call was soon put through. Ashley kept trembling, "Mason, I've seen the ghosts. Come and help me!" Mason was in confusion, "Are you out of your mind? You sure you've seen ghosts?" "Ghosts for real. They're coming to me, with hammers and knives ... So much blood... Ah..." Before Ashley could finish his trembling words, the two ghosts came up to her car. One of them raised the hammer and slammed it against the window of Ashley's car. The sound of breaking glass made Ashley scream in horror. And the phone was hung up.

    "To elope?" William was extremely shocked. Looking at her rosy cheeks and steady eyes, he was both moved and amused. He gently pinched her nose, "You're not delirious, are you?" "Quit it! I'm serious. Let's elope, okay?" "Okay, but you really think it over? Because you need to give up everything to elope with me." William teased. "I don't care. All I want is you!" Valeria held William's neck, determined more than ever, "Nothing matters as long as you're around!" The cutie's thought about elopement gave William a big surprise. So far, he was skint with nothing, while Valeria was the daughter of an old money. How courageous she was to say elopement? "Then she was indeed in some kind of trouble and with no other choices, she had to elope with me."

    Mason's words shocked Valeria. She wondered what made Mason say that. "Ronald had done something to Bob?" "No, not so soon. Mason might be bluffing me?" She mustered up the courage to refute immediately, "You wish. We did nothing wrong, nobody can hurt us." "Nothing wrong? You can deny it but we got the prove!" "What prove? What the hell are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb. Don't tell me that you have no idea what the pimp did last night. You're so ruthless! Ashley is pregnant." Valeria finally assembled some clues from Mason's accusation. Something happened to Ashley, and Mason suspected that she and Bob were responsible.

  • That Stranger Lying Beside Me   Chapter 1748 The End

    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
