"Who has gotten onto your nerve?" Valeria queried. "Who else could it be apart from Azalea, that b*tch? Are you aware of what she has done? I have no idea how that s*ut knew that I was going home today and came up with an act. She came home and immediately knelt in front of me to beg for my mercy. My parents were not aware of the full picture and began to scold me upon listening to her nonsense. I did not even have the chance to defend myself! Valeria, are they really my biological parents? Why are they so blindsided by that b*tch?" Abbie's voice had a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction. "Why would they treat an outsider so good when I am their daughter? What good would they reap for giving me an earful when that s*ut tried to sow discord?" "Abbie, you have soft-hearted parents. Azalea had a knack for pretending and they must have bought on her act. Your parents have yet to see the real her. However, do calm down as we would soon come up with a way to expose her
William was aware that Thomas had been carrying the Saunders family's DNA in his body. Hence, he had long speculated that Thomas was not part of the Gurney family. He was not taken aback by Silas' findings and asked, "Did you manage to get ahold of how he was being adopted?" "Unfortunately, no. He was not adopted locally but was instead brought back from abroad. I was told that he was an abandoned child. The president of the Gurney family went abroad for official matters and brought his butler alongside him. The butler coincidently saw Thomas, who was a baby who got abandoned. He decided to take him in as he felt pitiful towards Thomas and had no children with him as well. However, he was very secretive about this as rumors claimed that Thomas was his child that was born out of wedlock. I had spent a great amount of effort to obtain this piece of information." "Really?" William thought for a moment and said, "Alright then. However, let's put this matter aside for the time b
Talitha was unconscious throughout the night in the hospital. She finally awakened the next morning. Raelyn had been accompanying her all the time. She felt relieved upon seeing Talitha opening her eyes and shrieked, "Talitha! How are you feeling?" Talitha looked at Raelyn with a blank expression on her face as she was confused about her surroundings. She eventually felt the pain throughout her body and subconsciously touched her stomach and said, "Ouch! It hurts so much!" "I'll call a doctor to check things out!" Talitha ignored her words and kept touching her lower abdomen area. The pain was increasingly intense and she finally recalled the things that happened at the apartment yesterday. She let out a scream, "No! My baby!" "Talitha, your child did not make it!" Raelyn replied and her eyes watered. "It's all because of Natasya, that bitch! How could she do such a vicious thing to me... She used a club and struck me without mercy... She's the
Bobby, who had always followed William's instruction, unexpectedly refused his request. "Mr. Howard, why would you want to lend my phone when you have one yourself?" William promised Valeria that he would not call Michael, but it was risky to tell Bobby about it directly. He frowned and replied, "Well, can't I use your phone to call someone else?" Bobby knew what was going on in his mind and said, "You're planning to use my phone and give Michael a call, aren't you? Don't you think that it is a bad idea?" "Why would you say so? I don't see any problem in using your phone." "I would be in trouble if you use my phone to contact Michael. Mrs. Howard did think about this beforehand and came to me during breakfast time. I swore to her that I will never lend my phone to you.." "You did make a promise just to coax her, didn't you? What are you so worried about? Come on and pass me your phone," William did not take him seriously. "No, this is a serious matte
Lucian was nervous and asked, "Braelynn? Why would you mention her all of the sudden? Mr. Knight, did she happen to get into your nerves?" "Absolutely not! I'm just very interested in her. Lamont had taken her in and the both of you raised her up. It's rather strange considering you and Lamont are just friends, right? Why would the both of you come up with this idea of raising a child together?" "Well, I guess it's fate," Lucian answered vaguely. "Don't you think that this word is being overused? Miss Barnbook, you don't seem like one who adores little ones. The three of you gave me an unexplainable weird vibe. Braelynn must feel utterly grateful when you chose to become her adoptive mother. However, things don't seem to go as smooth as expected." Lucian was alerted as Gurmisran knew that her relationship with Braelynn was distanced. It was obvious that he had investigated Braelynn beforehand. Lucian pretended to be calm and replied, "Mr. Knight, you are a
The following scene had taken place in the detention center. Marcus had arranged for his men to send Declan a video that related to Talitha's tragedy. Declan was heartbroken upon seeing his daughter screaming in pain with blood all over her body. He refused to believe this footage! He knew that this was a fake video just to deceive him. He convinced himself that his beloved brother would not allow Natasya in bullying Talitha to such an extent. He also did not believe that Raelyn, who was Talitha's biological mother, would sit back and watch her daughter suffer. This video must have been edited in hopes to sow discord! William must be the one who plotted all of this. Declan was arranged to share a prison bunker with someone else. William did this as he was dying to know about the secret that Declan had been keeping to himself. The tragedy was deliberately being shared as William knew that Declan was worried about his daughter. I would have been lured into William
"Who else could it be apart from Raymond, that b*stard." Gavin told Arthur everything that happened just now with an upset look on his face. Arthur sighed but decided to be careful about his words. He said, "President Saunders and Raymond must be very busy. It would be best to think from their shoes for the sake of the company!" "Arthur, I am still in my sound mind. They are deliberately causing a scene in hopes that I would beg for Valeria's mercy! Don't you think that it's ridiculous for me in apologizing to my granddaughter?" Gavin was feeling upset. "Well... perhaps you might have taken it the wrong way. They probably don't mean that." "I know what is exactly going on in their heads. How dare they give me such an attitude! I shall see who would give way first," Gavin did not feel that he was at fault. He could no longer bear with Raymond's attitude as he was being utterly sarcastic just now. Gavin decided to show no mercy on him. He wanted to test the wate
Raelyn immediately bowed with her head against the floor. She was well aware that she had to try harder given the current circumstances. She tried to make Gavin feel bad by deliberately making loud banging sounds upon bowing. Her forehead was eventually covered in blood. Gavin was heartbroken and halted Raelyn to continue such a silly act. Raelyn threw herself into his arms and cried on top of her lungs. Arthur carefully stepped aside upon witnessing such an awkward scene. Arthur had been working for him for many years and knew that Gavin had been lured into her trap. Azalea and Meadow discussed matters beforehand and made their way to meet with Azalea's parents. They put on an act and pointed fingers at Abbie and successfully deceived them. Abbie had taken the blame and received an earful from her parents. They even promised to give Azalea a massive dowry upon her marriage ceremony with Michael. Both Azalea and Meadow were feeling over the moon as things had
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
