Michael hung up the phone after he was done speaking as William squinted and smiled, "Not bad. You know how to scare your mother!" Michael threw his phone aside irritably, "I'm not scaring her. You know my family's situation too, my brothers hate her so much. If things get out of hand, she will definitely be kicked out!" "She must have suffered a lot this time, so there will be more trouble in the future. She will definitely take it out on you and Abbie." William laughed playfully, "Michael, you're so smart and know how to compromise when it's needed. Why can't your mother do the same? What the hell!" Michael shot him an annoyed look and said, "I compromised today because of you. If you weren't so stubborn with protecting your wife, my parents wouldn't have to apologize at all, and everything would be solved if I just talked to your Archer about it. It's all because of your overprotectiveness for your wife!" "Tsk, what does this have to do with my wife? Isn't it
William squinted and sneered, "Her timing is always so impeccable." He took the phone from Bobby and answered it, and Natasya's voice came through, "William, you finally picked up!" He replied calmly, "I was busy just now. Oh right, why did you call me?" "William, I want to meet you. I have something very important to say to you." "But I'm busy now." He refused deliberately. When he said this, Natasya was anxious, "It's really important, please come out and see me. It doesn't have to be for long. Just find an excuse to sneak out." "Very important? Hmm, okay, l'll try." He finally agreed, and Natasya was overjoyed, "For your convenience, shall we meet at a cafe near your hotel? How about two o'clock in the afternoon?" "Okay, I'll try my best to make it!" Hearing his agreement, she was delighted, "I'll book a private room first and text you later. We'll meet at two o'clock." After hanging up the call, William felt disgusted as Valeria
Natasya did not expect it at all, and her body fell backward at the impact of the hit. The person who bumped into her reached out to grab her, and she suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness. Seeing Natasya passed out, Silas, who had hit her turned around and went upstairs in a hurry to the private room she had booked. He put her on the sofa in the room and quickly opened her bag. Then, he found the vermin powder and sneered as he switched out her powder to something he brought that looked similar. After that, he strode out of the private room. He left the coffee shop with Natasya's vermin powder and called William when he got into his car, "Sir William, I've got the thing." "Bring it back!" William ordered with a smile. Silas agreed and started his car's engine to go straight to the Wolf Group. In the private room of the coffee shop, Natasya was lying motionless on the sofa. The door was pushed open as a man and a woman dressed as a waitress e
As Natasya said this heartily, she handed the cup of coffee to William, and he accepted it. Then, they clinked their cups in unison. "After you have this cup of coffee, this will be the end of us. I won't see you anymore! William, take care!" Hearing such affectionate words from her red and swollen mouth was really disgusting. He felt like he was about to vomit, but in order to convince her that he had really fallen for the trap, he drank coffee under her concentrated gaze. Seeing him finish the coffee, a satisfied smile appeared on her swollen face, along with a sense of relief. She did not know when the vermin would take effect, but William had already eaten it, so it didn't matter anymore since the future couldn't be changed anymore. That was to say, he was destined to be hers from now on. He looked at the disgusting smile on her face and immediately knew what she was thinking about. He sneered in his heart and thought, "Natasya, you should make
Seeing Hardy call her, Talitha sneered. Sure enough, he would only listen to her if he felt threatened. After she picked up the phone, she asked him angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why have you been ignoring my calls and texts?" Hardy suppressed his anger, "I was busy, I have a lot of things to deal with in the company, and I barely have time for anything else!" His rude attitude made her blood boil. Raymond said that he saw Hardy hooking up with a beautiful woman in a hotel yesterday, but Hardy claimed that he barely had time for anything else. It was clear that she had no importance in his life. She felt embarrassed, but she knew that she had chosen this path herself, so she sneered. "Hardy, tell me what you have on your mind, and I won't be clingy towards you anymore. After all, we haven't got married yet. Even if we do, we can still divorce after that, right? I have my dignity too. If you don't like me and our child, just tell me directly and I pro
At the Saunders Enterprises' hotel, Talitha put on her best dress and checked herself out in the mirror before leaving the room with her bag over her shoulder. Raelyn warned her worriedly for potential dangers, but Talitha brushed her off impatiently, "I know what to do, mom. Stop worrying about me already! I will succeed just like Natasya did." Hearing her say this, Natasya, who was sitting on the sofa, pursed her lips together, "Mom, since she said that she can handle it, let her go by herself. Stop nagging so much already!" Raelyn sighed and closed the door, "I really don't trust Talitha... She's always been so reckless when she does things. The complete opposite of you! Hardy is very alert, so I'm afraid that she won't be able to handle this by herself." "What's there to worry about? It doesn't matter if she succeeds or not because I have already succeeded, so you can rely on me in the future." "Yes, I will rely on you. I really didn't expect it to be
Silas mixed Talitha's vermin powder with Natasya's. After stirring it up, he sealed it up and handed it to Raymond. Raymond looked at him strangely, "That's it?" "Yes, that's it! You are in charge of the rest. If you want to know the reason behind me doing this, go to the Wolf Group and ask William about it tonight." Silas said as he handed the antidote to him, "I'm leaving now. Talitha will wake up after you spray this on her." After Silas left, Raymond sprayed the antidote on Talitha a few times and then put it away. Soon, she opened her eyes. He looked relieved, "Talitha! You finally woke up. You fainted so suddenly just now and scared me to death." Talitha did not know what had happened, so she looked at him dizzily, "Raymond, did I faint just now? What happened?" "I don't know either. You just fainted out of nowhere, so I helped you to my car in order to take you to the hospital. How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" "
In the Howard family's old estate, the staff of the company had already completed their arrangements for the birthday party and began to leave. Valeria wandered around the hall, looked around the courtyard outside, and finally went to the garden. The garden was the main venue of the party. White tables were arranged in a row, with a huge flower arrangement that spelled out the words 'Happy Birthday', which was also illuminated by colorful lights. Valeria's eyes fell on the large display screen that would show William her birthday gift for him tomorrow night. She personally drew a portrait of him. Since this was his first time celebrating his birthday in his twenty-eight years of living, she racked her brains to think of a good party for him. Her love for him was incredibly deep, and she only wanted the best for him. She wanted to make up for the twenty-eight years he missed out on and make him happy, so she had a number of things she wanted to do. After
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
