This made Valeria confused, "Why do you say that? Are you gonna break up with me?" "No, what are you thinking about? It just occurred to me to ask you." Valeria stared at him for a while and sneered, "Yeah. I will ask you for my money and your life!" "Wow, you're so mean. You didn't even want Mason to pay you back, why are you so cruel to me?" "Because I will never leave you unless you betray me! And that will get yourself killed!" "It's an expression. Don't be so mean to me." William shook his head but thought, "A cold-hearted woman! Why I'm treated so differently? It can't be." With swollen mouth, Ashley naturally dare not go back to the hotel, so she called Julie to meet her out immediately. Soon, Julie was out and saw Ashley, whose face was distorted and broken, which turned her in a great fury. "Who did this to you?" "Valeria!" Ashley answered with a sad face. "Why did Valeria hit you? You provoked her again?" Julie felt
They quickened their pace and walked to the door of the ward. The bodyguards stopped them, "Master Howard needs rest. Madam, please go back!" Elizabeth looked at the expressionless face of the bodyguards, "Who make you here?" "Young Master William!" "William? Why did he make you guys stand guard outside the ward? How is Master Howard now?" "Master Howard is very well. Don't bother, madam. Please go back!" "This is too much! What does William mean to do this? We can't even see Master Howard any more?" Elizabeth ordered the bodyguard angrily, "Call William and tell him that I'm here." "Sorry, madam. We only take orders from Young Master William. You can call him yourself!" The bodyguard remained unmoved. How come Elizabeth had William's number? The bodyguards did not take her seriously at all. Although she was nobody in the Howard family, Elizabeth had always thought that she weighed more than William, who was always loafing around. Now tha
Elizabeth cocked her head to one side to avoid the cup, which fell to the floor and broke into pieces, spilling tea all over her. Mason, who followed Elizabeth, was startled, and cried, "Aunt Elizabeth!" Charles's eyes widened when he saw Mason. "Who the f*ck make you take advantage of the company to fight against Valeria? Get the f*cking in here and make it clear!" It was about Valeria, and that flurried Elizabeth and Mason. The rage in Charles made them tell how bad it was this time. Getting the door closed, Elizabeth and Mason walked up to Charles nervously. Mason was too afraid to speak, and Elizabeth broke the silence, "Honey, what happened?" "Drop the act. Mason really hasn't tell you? He would have dared to make use of the lawyer team and Public Relations Section to pay Internet trolls without your permission? How dare he use the company's money for his own purposes? Who the hell he thinks he is?" Charles was good at swearing, and Elizabeth di
Ashley picked up the phone and spoke in an affectedly sweet voice, "Mason!" "Tell me the name of the designer. Are you sure she's reliable?" "It's Athena White. We are classmates, we can count on her. Why?" "Valeria has Michael to recriminate us. Now the lawyer's letter has been sent to the company. Ashley, call that classmate right away and tell her to watch her mouth, or it will be a disaster." Getting Mason's words, Ashley was also panicked. She immediately called Athena and asked, "Athena, does anyone come to you?" "What's wrong?" Athena asked Ashley. "Mason tells me that Valeria has turned to Michael for a rebellion against us. He is very worried and has me ask about you." "Nobody has come to me." Athena replied. "Fine, Athena, we are regimental brothers. If someone comes to you, you must remember what I told you." Ashley warned. "Ashley, you make me nervous. This won't trouble me, right?" "No, I copied the draft from Val
William turned, took a step back in shock at the red-haired woman in front of him. Seeing that she had scared the handsome man, Abbie smiled sheepishly, "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. It's just that you are so handsome, so..." "I'm not interested in you!" William interrupted her. "No, you misunderstood me. I don't fall in love with you. Listen to me, I have a friend who is absolutely gorgeous. I think you two probably match well. You want to know her or not?" "No, I have a girlfriend!" "You can have a new one. Believe me, my friend is really beautiful and definitely a perfect match for you. Why don't you give me your number and meet her someday?" "No!" William frowned and walked away. Abbie was not to give up. This handsome guy was definitely able to make Valeria taken with a feeling of diffidence with that pimp. She wondered how his girlfriend was like while she was pretty sure it would't be as beautiful as Valeria! Abbie watched with re
Ronald was stunned for a moment. Valeria was telling the truth. Valeria had money of her own. If she was to compensate, she would have to use her money first. No wonder Valeria wasn't worried at all. She must have already thought about it a long time ago. Ronald was pissed off. "You unfilial daughter, good at nothing but spending money!" "I'll spend it as I'd like!" Valeria talked back, "You wish I leave it to the mistress and her daughter?" "You!" Ronald was so angry that he gasped. He tried to hit Valeria, but Valeria took a few steps back and looked at him with a cold face. "If you hit me, I will sue you! If you don't want to be embarrassed, you'd better control yourself!" Ronald was shocked and angry with Valeria being snarky. However, there was nothing he could do. He didn't want to get into such a bad relationship with Valeria. He tried his best to suppress his anger. "Your mother is not in the world any longer, and I'm still so you
Ashley and Mason had gone to see Athena not just to cheer her up, but to intimidate her into silence. They meant to make Athena know that the Howard family was behind them. In order to force Athena to join them, they used both coercion and seduction. Nobody knew that Athena had already been discovered by Marcus. Marcus was straightforward. He directly told her that they were clear about what she and Ashley had done. It would be smart of her to choose the right side or she could end up in prison. Athena never thought that Ashley was not only against Valeria, but also the Wolf Group. She was clever enough to know not to be enemy against Wolf Group. So she divulged everything right away. So the meeting with Athena was actually a trap. Athena brought a recording pen according to Marcus's instructions. The whole conversation was recorded, and also Mason and Ashley's ugliness. Athena handed the recording pen to Marcus, and Marcus immediately called the pol
When the interrogator arrived, Ashley had already peed in her pants. Seeing this, the interrogator scolded her loudly. "What's wrong with you? Are you crazy? Why didn't you call me if you needed the washroom? How embarrassing!" "I... I've called you, but no one heard me," Ashley said in shame and anger. "What are you crying for! Stop that and tell me everything if you want to leave this place. Or else you can just stay here!" The interrogator spoke to Ashley harshly. "You had better not think that you will be lucky enough to escape this! We all know what you've done, so you'd better start talking. Or else, we'll just send you to jail with the evidence we have now." Ashley did not answer and she continued crying. Seeing that she was not going to talk soon, the interrogator ignored her and left. Sitting in the interrogation room with her pants soaked, Ashley felt utterly disgusted and uncomfortable. Mason, who was in the room next to her, started
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
