Bobby's straightforward words made Angel move away from William as her face turned extremely pale, "Are you serious?" "Of course!" William answered immediately in annoyance. "Oh my god! What kind of strange disease is this? Why don't you like it when others get close to you? You weren't like this when you were abroad though, why did you become like this after a few months? Could there be a reason for this?" Angel was furious. She was not stupid and could see through everything. It was obvious that he did not like to get close to her. As she was drowning in anger, an idea flashed through her mind. She thought of what Natasya had told her about Valeria feeding William the vermin. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was the best time to expose it. Whether or not it was true that William disliked other women getting close with him, she was determined to frame Valeria for feeding him the vermin. Sure enough, when Angel deliberately raised her v
Angel was also very happy to see Thomas and immediately started a conversation with him. However, he kept a respectful distance while talking to her. William watched them coldly. If it wasn't for the Floyd family's sake, Thomas definitely wouldn't waste his time talking to Angel. William had a change in thought. Since Thomas was very nice towards Abbie and Valeria, other than being jealous, William thought that a person like Thomas must have had other intentions in being nice to them. However, after seeing Thomas's attitude towards Angel, William realized that he might have mistaken him. Other than that, Thomas's arrival saved William the effort and energy to take care of Fandrey and Deborah. He found that Thomas was very good at talking to people and had a way with words that made Fandrey and Deborah very happy. He looked on coldly. No wonder Valeria and Abbie did not hate Thomas, since there was nothing much to hate on. His sole reason f
Archer also thought of it, "Yes, I also think that there is another reason behind why William doesn't want to introduce Valeria to them. I suspect that it's because of what happened to his mother back then." Natalie sighed, "If the Floyd family has a problem with Valeria, should I go and explain it to them?" "Let's ask William first and see what going on." Archer didn't agree to her suggestion, "Come back first and let me call William to ask about it later." At the entrance of Acma Corporation, Talitha stopped the car and strode straight into the company. However, the security guard stepped forward to stop her. "May I ask who are you looking for, miss?" "I'm looking for Hardy!" Talitha was not in a good mood. "Do you have an appointment with our president? I can't let you in if you don't." The security guard did not let her go. Her anger finally erupted. "I have to make an appointment to meet Hardy? Are you blind? I've been here several
Talitha originally came with the intention to scold Hardy fiercely, but in the end, she left with no response. The difference was that the target of her anger had shifted to Natasya. Talitha couldn't tolerate the fact that Natasya had the audacity to seduce Hardy shamelessly with her disfigured face. She vowed to get even with her and rushed to the hospital in anger. Accompanied by Raelyn, Natasya had just changed her bandages and returned to the ward when she bumped into Talitha. Upon seeing Natasya, Talitha's eyes were full of anger, "Natasya, you shameless b*tch! Do you have ethics or not? How can you be so shameless?" Talitha wanted to rush over and beat her up, but Raelyn quickly stopped her and said, "If you have anything to say, say it in private! Do you want the whole world to know about your business?" "Mom, why are you defending her? Do you know how shameless she is? She seduced Hardy with the intentions of replacing me. How can she be s
Angel had been secretly observing William and thought that he seemed unhappy ever since Thomas appeared. Thomas had a good temper and treated Fandrey, Deborah, and Callum politely. Other than that, he also took good care of her. Could it be that William was jealous of him? Angel stared at William and realized that he looked at Thomas with displeasure especially when he was interacting with her. She was extremely pleased to realize this. William must be jealous of her being close to Thomas! Since that was the case, she got closer to Thomas in order to stimulate William more. She was interested to see how William would react. When William saw Thomas being so attentive towards Angel, a mischievous smile flashed across his face, and he took a few photos and sent them to Valeria. Valeria was confused when she received the photos, "Hubby, who is this?" "She's my cousin, Angel. I guess Thomas took a liking to her, so he has been flattering her
Seeing William leave in a hurry, Callum, who had been silent, had a strange expression on his face. He could tell that William was unhappy! When William was happy, he would smile with his eyes. When he was unhappy, he would smile stiffly with cold eyes. Just now, he was eyeing them coldly, but Callum found it strange since no one was provoking him. Was it because of this woman's sudden appearance? Callum looked at Azalea. He had been paying attention to Emily, so, of course, he knew that Azalea was her daughter. Upon recognizing Azalea, Callum was a little surprised. How did she know Thomas? Because of Emily, Callum did not hate Azalea, so she joined their trip with ease. She was born to be an actress. She was especially good at putting on an act, observing people's expressions, and entertaining them. Both Fandrey and Deborah thought that she was Thomas's girlfriend and treated her very well, while Callum treated her kindly because she
William thought that Hayden would scold him for not liking Thomas, so he immediately said, "Dad, I know what you want to say. Stop it, it's no use saying it." "You know what I'm going to say? That's impossible!" Hayden looked at him in surprise. He knew that William was a smart man, but there was no way he could predict what he was about to say. William said bluntly, "Don't you just want me to be a little more polite to Thomas? No way!" "You brat, you're spouting nonsense. That's not what I wanted to talk about." Hayden shook his head. "Oh? Then what is it?" "Well, I heard that Thomas went out with your grandparents today, right?" "That's right!" "Do they like him very much?" "Yes!" William nodded. "William, Thomas is currently the manager for the Floyd family's business within the country, and you should know that their assets here aren't small, right?" Hayden asked again. "I know, but he is just their manager. What do the Fl
In the presidential suite, Thomas and Azalea were drinking tea in the living room, while the rest of the Floyd family members went back to their rooms to change their clothes. It was Azalea's first time at the presidential suite in the Wolf Group, and she was shocked by its luxuriousness. She sat on the sofa and looked around while Thomas sat on the opposite sofa and looked at her coldly. He couldn't understand why she would join the Floyd family's sightseeing and shamelessly follow them here. Callum was kind to Azalea because of Emily, so Emily was both a blessing and a curse to Azalea. If Fandrey and Deborah knew about Azalea's relationship with Emily, they would definitely hate her. When the time comes, both Azalea and Emily would suffer and be embarrassed. He had to find a way to let Azalea leave. Seeing that the Floyd family was not around, Thomas lowered his voice and said, "Why are you still here? When are you leaving?" "Fandre
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
