It was impossible for Emily to not know what he was talking about. She snapped back with a sullen face, "Stop spewing nonsense!" "Miss Poland, you should know very well whether I am speaking the truth or not. I am very curious about the extent that you would go for Azalea. As far as I am concerned, she had never mentioned being close with an aunt before. I would not even know that Azalea is your niece should you not invite me to have a meetup session today. It would spark questions in one's mind given how much of an effort you tried to help Azalea out, right?" Emily felt a bit panicked as she did not expect it to come from Michael. Did this guy know something about her? How was that possible? Michael was just a man in his twenties. Besides, not many would know about her secret even if they were way older than him. Why would he say such a thing then? Was Emily overcomplicating things in her mind? Michael continued speaking while she was lost in
The car door behind her was being opened shortly. Arthur hurriedly got out of his vehicle to have a look at the situation. He immediately called for an ambulance as Emily had passed out due to the impact. She was then being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Arthur also hopped into the ambulance as his forehead was bleeding due to the accident. Gavin called him when he was on his way towards the hospital. "Where are you? Why aren't you back yet?" "I'm currently on my way to the hospital as something urgent has come up." "What happened?" Gavin asked while feeling shocked. "I was met with a car accident. Don't worry as it's just a minor injury." "Alright. I'll be right there." Gavin decided to head towards the hospital as he was worried about Arthur. Arthur reminded him once again that he was genuinely feeling fine. However, Gavin insisted on coming over as he was very concerned about him. Arthur eventually gave up seeing how persisten
Both Madelyn and Azalea were taken aback upon hearing his voice. Azalea immediately wanted to hide from Thomas. On the other hand, this was the first time that Madelyn had met with him. She questioned, "Who are you? How did you manage to get into this house?" "I am not obligated to tell you about my identity! I have overheard about a car accident just now. Is Emily really involved in it?" "How should we know whether she is telling us the truth? I heard it from her just awhile ago." "Damn it!" He felt anxious upon hearing about it. He needed to pay Emily a visit to get ahold of her condition. He warned Azalea and Madelyn before leaving the house, "It is advised to stop playing tricks on Emily from now onwards. I will not let things slide if I catch the both of you deceiving Emily ever again!" Madelyn glared at Thomas and questioned, "What are you going to do about it then?" "You are always welcomed to test my patience!" Thomas snapped back and hurriedly lef
"But... I don't have the guts in confessing everything to grandpa. He will definitely give me an earful! I am intimidated by him..." Talitha was genuinely afraid of Gavin. "What?" Raymond squinted and chuckled. How ridiculous of her to come up with such a reason! Did Talitha assume him to be a foolish person? He sneered before speaking, "Alright then! I guess there is no point for us to continue this conversation further." "Raymond, please don't go! You have my word, okay?" Talitha panicked and eventually gave in. Raymond suppressed the displeased feeling towards her and instructed the staff to give her a glass of water. He then picked up his phone to send William a message. "Talitha came to me and proposed to become a team in getting rid of Natasya and I have an idea in mind. She will visit my grandfather to expose Raelyn's motives. I am concerned that I may risk ruining your plan and hence I would like to obtain your advice. What do you think?" "Th
Raymond volunteered to give Talitha a ride to Gavin's house. He parked the car a few steps away from the house and Talitha eventually hopped down from the vehicle. Raymond sent a message to Arthur while waiting in the car. "Talitha is going to seek for grandpa as per my instruction. Do open the door and let her in later. By the way, keep an eye on her and record their conversation as I would need a copy for reference later." Arthur accepted his request as usual and replied, "Mr. Saunders, be rest assured. I will keep a close look at Talitha." She headed towards the villa entrance and was ready to reach out and press on the doorbell. She then only realized that the door had already been opened. She desperately hoped that no one would attend to her and return back to Raymond's car. However, her dream did not come through and she pushed the door open before heading into the house. She walked past through the garden in the courtyard and saw Gavin who was weeding th
Raelyn was displeased as Gavin demanded her to come over when it was already late at night. She wanted to reject his request as she sensed that something bad must be happening. However, she immediately changed her mind just so that her plan would not be jeopardized. She nervously went to visit him. She eventually arrived and took a peek at Gavin. She then asked, "Dad! What can I do for you?" "Well, I would like to ask you about something utterly important. " Gavin gestured her to have a seat and continued speaking, "You have suffered a great loss due to the plunge of Bitcoin, right? I would like to have a look at your trading account." "Well... I will need to make a trip back home as I have left the transaction details there. It would be a hassle for me to go back and forth," Raelyn immediately came up with an excuse. Gavin knew that she must be hiding something judging by her reaction. He grinned and said, "I see. Well then, let me head home with you to read
William tried to change Gavin's mind despite knowing how excited he was. "You won't miss out on anything. I'll call you immediately when we receive the test result." "It's fine, I shall tag along since I'm free, anyway. You don't even have to spend the effort in calling me." Hayden still insisted on going to the hospital with them. William took a peek at Valeria in hopes to see her reaction. She was comfortable with Hayden's idea and said, "Dad, you are welcome to join us as you wish. We can eat out after obtaining the result from the doctor. There's a steamed bun shop near the hospital and you'll definitely like it!" "Valeria, you're the best! You even know taste palette so well!" Hayden then instructed the servant in an uplifting tone, "There's no need to prepare breakfast for tomorrow. We will be paying a visit to the hospital and eat out after that." The schedule was being planned ahead of time. A luxurious car drove out of the Howard Family's old estate the
Emily immediately replied upon seeing the astonished look on Arthur's face, "He is a friend of mine. Thomas, it's getting late and you should make a move now." "Alright then. Emily, I'll pay you a visit real soon! Do call me immediately if you need anything!" Thomas nodded to Arthur politely and eventually left the ward. Arthur continued to stare at him and realized that he looked so much like someone else! They were too similar to be true! Thomas not only looked like the young Gavin, but he also had a red mole behind his earlobe. What on earth was going on? Arthur was extremely shocked and decided to report this matter to Gavin later. He had questions in mind and decided to enquire Emily, "Is your friend from B City as well?" "Nope. He lives at Misurton." "I see. He looks youthful and handsome. I assume that he has a successful career?" Emily had an unexplainable burst of joy upon hearing about it and said, "Yes, he is indeed a talented
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
