Abbie took the elevator excitedly to the top floor. She was quite lucky because she saw a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner pressing the doorbell to the presidential suite. Abbie politely asked in English, "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Mark!" The staff who opened the door immediately reported, "Sir, a beautiful lady is looking for you." "Really?" Mark walked out of the room and was surprised to see Abbie at the door. "It's you?" Abbie was extremely excited when she saw Mark. "Hi, sir! I am your greatest fan! Can we have a chat?!" "Of course! Please come in!" If it was anyone else, they wouldn't even have a chance to meet Mark at all. However, he knew Abbie because William had asked him to design a wedding dress and gown for his wife. He had asked Mark to design a bridesmaid's dress as well, it was for the beautiful and lively girl standing in front of him. When Abbie saw that Mark was so approachable, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart. Didn't the rumour
Abbie left happily after she saw Mark and he called Valeria after entering the elevator, "Valeria, let me tell you some great news. Mark has agreed to design a wedding dress for you." "Heavens! It really is hard to imagine! Abbie, I really love you too much! How did you convince him?" Valeria was pleasantly surprised. "Oh, right! I need to treat Mark to dinner tonight. Come with me!" "No problem, I'll tell my husband." Valeria hung up and went out of the lounge happily. "Honey, I have to meet up with Abbie for dinner." "I'm afraid we can't do that!" William looked up and said, "I also invited someone to dinner tonight and they asked me to take you with me. If you don't go, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain." "Who did you invite? Do I know him?" Valeria asked. "Somewhat!" William nodded. "Dear, I don't want to go. All the people you know are businessmen and I don't have anything in common with them. I'd better meet Abbie to relax my mind. T
Valeria brought Abbie with her and stormed into the room. William and Mark, who were in the room, looked over when the door was pushed open. When Mark saw Valeria and Abbie, he stood up with a smile on his face and reached out his hand to Valeria, "You must be Madam Howard, right? You're beautiful. How are you? I'm Mark!" Valeria also reached out her hand. "Hello, Mr. Mark!" William looked at Valeria with a faint smile. "Dear, you're late!" "I... Yes, I had some delays!" Valeria looked at the four sets of tableware on the table and said. William must have seen the message that Abbie had sent to Valeria. Once he knew that she and Abbie were about to meet at the Mark, he set up a plan to intercept them in advance. He also predicted that she and Abbie would come over to his room, and he had even prepared tableware for them. Valeria was annoyed when she found that she had fallen prey to one of William's tricks. She sat down next to William and lifted her foot
The sharp tip of the knife pierced through Natasya's chest and she could not move. She could hear the sound of the scalpel cutting through her flesh and the pain swept through her body. Natasya's eyes were wide open and her face was scrunched up in pain. Bevan stood aside and looked at Natasya's miserable expression with a sneer. "Does it hurt? You probably don't know what we're going to do, do you? Anyway, you're going to die anyway. It's too pitiful for you to die in vain, so I'll kindly tell you the truth." "We didn't intend to save you at all! Since you began to scheme against Mr. Anthony, he has been looking for the antidote. Fate was on our side and we finally found the antidote. Do you know what it is?" Bevan spoke slowly with a cruel smile on his face, "It's the blood from your heart! When you and Talitha were activating the blood hex with your own blood, you probably didn't know that the blood from your heart would be used this way. So, you should've been a b
The living room was lit up in the Anthony family's villa and a French movie was playing on the TV. Paisley was sitting on the sofa with a remote control in her hand as she stared absent-mindedly into space. It was already two in the morning. Why was there still no news from Hardy? "Is there something wrong?" Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the phone rang. Paisley grabbed the phone and picked it up. "Hello!" "Miss, something happened! Mr. Anthony and Bevan were both arrested by the police!" "How could this happen? Isn't the Anderson family in trouble now? Why would the police know about this?" Paisley asked subconsciously. "I don't know, but I heard that the police suddenly attacked them. Mr. Anthony and Bevan were both at the scene when they arrived, and Natasya was covered in blood because her eyes have been removed. Things don't look too good. Miss, you have to find a way to solve this quickly!" "Damn it!" Paisley cursed in a
Paisley's earth-shattering cry would definitely attract negative attention, so Valeria had no choice but to check out what was going on while the auntie accompanied her. She was extremely shocked when she saw the state Paisley was in. Standing at the door, Paisley had severe dark eye circles and cracked lips, and she looked ten times older due to her haggard look. Seeing Valeria coming out, Paisley stopped shouting and walked over quickly, "Miss Brown, you are finally willing to come out and see me!" The auntie stopped Paisley with disgust, "Miss, just say whatever you have to say already. Miss Brown can hear you from here, so you don't need to come too near." Paisley had no time to care about the auntie's attitude and said desperately from the side, "Miss Brown, I beg you, please help my brother!" Valeria looked at her coldly, "Do you even hear yourself right now?" "I do, and I believe that you already know what happened to my brother. I know it's
Hayden smiled fakely, "Indeed, I don't want to see the Howard family and the Anthony family in conflict, but did you see the public announcement yet?" "Public announcement? About what?" Paisley asked in confusion. Mr. Howard stroked his beard, "A few minutes ago, Acma Corporation' stock value experienced a dramatic dropped due to Hardy's scandals. To minimize the damage on their business, the Anthony family announced that Hardy is not Acma Corporation's ceo anymore. They claimed that Hardy's actions are not related to the corporation, and this scandal was caused by his personal mental issues. Other than that, his father also cut off his relationship with Hardy, therefore he is merely an abandoned person. Did you think that Acma Corporation would willingly get into conflict with the Howard family for him?" "How... how is this possible?" Paisley did not expect her father to be so heartless for the company's interest. However, she didn't give up and still tried to persua
In the hospital, Natasya regained consciousness after being in a coma for ten hours. After waking up, she felt a heart-wrenching pain and screamed uncontrollably. Talitha's voice rang in her ears, "Does it hurt, Sis?" Hearing Talitha's voice, Natasya turned her head to look at her, however, her cornea was taken so she could not see anything. "How pitiful!" Talitha said as she smiled, "Look at you now, so blind and ugly, and your body has been infected with septicemia. You're going to die soon... Any last words?" How could Talitha speak in front of her? Wasn't she already dead? Natasya hissed and asked, "Are you a ghost?" "What do you think?" Talitha chuckled, "My dear sister, aren't you afraid when you hear my voice? Haven't you ever thought about the retribution for hurting me?" "You are alive? How can you be alive?" Natasya asked in disbelief. "Why can't I be? I'm alive because I want to see your ending. Oh, it brings me great joy to se
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
