Talitha had trusted Raymond and finally came clean to him about the blood vermin. He pretended to be surprised about it and said, "Talitha, I was told that Natasya had also planned to use the same tactic at William. Are you sure that you are successful since your sister's plan had failed?" "Of course! Hardy was forced to accept me as his girlfriend ever since the scandal broke out. He was very cold to me last time but things have finally changed for the better. He is very caring towards me and even proposed to take my hand in marriage. I am certain that his attitude has taken a total turn." Talitha continued to tell Raymond about her dating life, "Everything was going really well until I found something fishy about him just now. There were lipstick marks on his clothes and hickeys on his neck. I also realized that there were a few strands of hair which I believe is his lover's on his clothes. That's so strange! How could he have an affair when he has been poisoned by the ve
Valeria left the flowers and exited the living room with a happy look with Abbie. William shook his head and shouted, "Silas, head over to see who would meet with Valeria and Miss Clark." Silas came out from the room as well as Bobby. "Sir, what's going on?" "Richard had pulled some strings for Abbie to meet with a talented man who used to work abroad. I had always assumed Richard was talking nonsense and did not expect things to get so serious. It would be a mess real soon." Bobby did not think twice and said, " William, it's much better to let nature take its course. Michael and Miss Clark would eventually be a couple if they are destined for each other. You ought to not worry too much as the ending would not change if they are not meant to be together." "You have a point, but one can always give his best shot. Michael should know about this soon and I am already having a headache upon thinking about his depressed mood." William's phone suddenly rang jus
Thomas smiled and stood up to greet William, "It's been a while, William!" "Yes, indeed!" William was upset upon seeing Valeria chatting with Thomas in an uplifting mood. However, he managed to suppress his emotions and put his arm around her waist. He asked, "Sweetheart, are you feeling hungry?" "Yes, I am. Would you be kind enough to treat us?" "No problem. I just happened to have an appointment with someone else too," William agreed with a smile on his face. "Is it okay for you?" Thomas asked immediately to avoid being an inconvenience towards William. "It's okay as the man that I am meeting with is close with all of us here. Mr. Gurney, do you mind?" Thomas glanced at Abbie and she clearly had no objection. He then nodded in agreement, "Okay then, I shall be the one treating you guys today!" A playful smile appeared on William's lips. Valeria instantly knew that her husband was planning to give Thomas a hard time. She would not rejec
Thomas and Emily actually knew each other? William was stunned as he did not expect this at all. "Are you sure about this?" William instantly felt that he had asked a silly question. How was it possible for Silas to be wrong? Silas nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm confident about it. I was not aware of Thomas at that time and I thought that his meetup with Emily was an ordinary matter. I did not think twice about it until I saw him meet up with Miss Clark just now." Rammos became the messenger between Emily and Callum. Besides, Rammos had no relationship with the Floyd family at all since he was working under Callum's private company. However, things were different for Thomas. He was just appointed as the executive by the Floyd family to manage the Misurton Company, and he would not have known Emily at all since they had a huge age gap. It was utterly bizarre for them to meet in secret. William struggled to come up with something to justify why Emily would me
Valeria grabbed William's arm and kept apologizing profusely. However, William kept a straight face and he refused to smile. He didn't seem to forgive her at all. Then, he walked out of the elevator and brushed Valeria's hand away while he strode towards the presidential suite. Valeria was really confused. Was William really very angry? She really didn't mean anything else. She just felt that Thomas was kind and friendly. She really regarded Thomas as her elder brother, so why would William be jealous? Valeria followed William with a bitter face while she repeatedly called out to him. However, he continued to walk forward without looking back at all. William was a very tall man, so she could not catch up with his strides at all. Valeria saw Bobby and Silas sitting on the sofa when she entered the living room of the suite. They greeted her as soon as they saw her while she walked over and asked them, "Where's my husband?" "Sir went to the study room with a
William looked at Marcus coldly and said, "Come in and tell me about it!" Valeria naturally couldn't continue to beg for mercy when Marcus came, so she returned to her room in anger. William walked to the chair and sat down. "What is it?" Marcus smiled awkwardly. "I just came over and they called to inform me that Michael smashed everything in the lounge. What happened?" "Yes, he's pissed off." William did not want to mention the matter again. Michael was furious, and so was he. When Marcus saw that William didn't want to mention it, he didn't dare to bring it up again. "Mr. Howard, I'm here to talk about Emily. I've sent someone to investigate Emily's birth hospital and found the doctor who performed Emily's surgery. She told me that Emily's child was still alive during labour." "Then?" William asked with a pen in his hand. Marcus carefully looked at William's face and said, "The baby spent a night in the insulation chamber and died in it."
Meanwhile, Angel was happily packing her things in the Floyd family and she prepared three trunks just to store her luxury handbags. Just then, Veronica knocked on the door and came in. She was shocked when she saw Angel carrying so many bags. "Angel, why are you preparing so many things? Can't you just take two or three bags?" "These are all necessities! I'm telling you, I eavesdropped on Grandpa and Grandma's conversation, and it seems like I'll have to be away for a long time. I have to accompany my cousin to various events and I can't possibly use the same bag all the time, right?" Veronica smiled. "What kind of events will your cousin attend?" "You don't know, do you? I heard..." Angel looked at the door and lowered her voice. "Mom, I heard that his identity is very powerful and he is a great man." "That can't be," Veronica looked surprised. "Who told you that?" "I heard it from Grandpa and Grandma. I felt that my cousin was different from the first t
After William asked Valeria to reflect on her mistakes, she went back to the bedroom to rethink her actions but she failed to figure out what was wrong. However, she was so tired that she fell asleep and did not get up until three o'clock in the afternoon. She opened the door and called her husband, but no one answered. Then, she remembered that William was still angry with her. Bobby came out of the bodyguard's room after hearing Valeria's voice. "Madam, William went out because he has something to do!" "Where did he go?" Valeria asked. "He went to the company to deal with something," Bobby replied, "Before he left, he told me to take you back to the family home after you woke up." "Didn't he say that he'll go back with me? How can he let me go alone? He's a man! But he's so petty!" Valeria murmured and picked up her phone to call William, but she couldn't get through. Bobby reminded her, "Sir must be in a meeting and his mobile phone is turned off!
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
