In the president's office of Wolf Group's International Sector, William walked out of the conference room to find Bobby waiting at the door. He was stunned and asked, "What happened?" Bobby went up to him and reported, "Miss Brown had some unpleasant encounters in the morning. Paisley looked for her at the house, so some conflict broke out, and Paisley was punished." "Is Valeria okay?" William's face darkened. "She is fine. Mr. Howard, do you want to make a phone call to ask about the situation?" As soon as Bobby finished speaking, William was already on a call with Valeria, "Are you scared?" "No!" Valeria smiled and said, "Auntie was protecting me, and it's impossible for Paisley to hurt me." "You can still laugh?" William's voice became stern, "What did I tell you? You cannot come into contact with people like Natasya and Paisley at any cost. Are you ignoring my advice?" "Honey, are you angry? I'm fine though, and I went with the auntie, so I
In the hospital, Raelyn wailed as she went on a hunger strike to death. The nurse was so disturbed by her that she had to call Arthur. When Arthur finally replied that he would visit her with Gavin, Raelyn stopped making a ruckus. She couldn't do anything and didn't know what was going with the outside world, so when she heard the nurse say that Gavin would come to see her soon, she immediately thought that he was affected by the fact that she put her life on her line, and she started getting hopeful. She thought about how to turn the tables. First, she would push all the blame to Devon and say that it was him who incited her to do evil deeds. Since Devon deceived her, everything would be his plan instead, and she was merely negatively influenced by him. Now that she knew her wrongdoings, she would repent and apologize in order to guilt-trip Gavin into forgiving her. There was hope as long as Gavin was moved. In the future, she would have no choice but to play
Arthur pulled out his phone to show Raelynn the horrific pictures of Natasya's eye and bodily injuries and said, "Look at your daughter who is as vicious and shameless as you. Do you think this is retribution?" "Oh my! Natasya!" Raelyn wailed in shock as soon as she saw the pictures. "How can Hardy be so vicious? How can he do this to her?" "How can he? That's such a ridiculous question! Did you forget what you did to him? Didn't your family plan to control him with the vermin? It backfired, and Natasya was punished!" Arthur sneered without any sympathy. "Backfired? What do you mean?" "Don't you know? Haha, let me tell you, Natasya managed to control Hardy and have her way with him, right? Well, the only way to cure the effects of the blood vermin is to use the blood from her heart, so Hardy would definitely not hesitate to target her in order to get rid of the effects." Raelyn sobbed, "He's too cruel! Why didn't you call the police?" "Of cour
Paisley was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted, "That's impossible! The bodyguard beat me up before I even touched her. She framed me! She's lying!" "Ms. Anthony, don't be triggered. The pregnant woman is still in the emergency room, but we will find out the truth soon. Let me remind you that we have the family's testimony and a surveillance video as evidence. You also admitted that you were on Westburn Road at nine o'clock, which corresponds to the details of the video. You shouted at a pregnant woman and went up to hit her." When the police showed her the video of her hitting an unfamiliar woman, she was dumbfounded, "This is fake! This video was edited!" "We not only have videos and the relatives of the pregnant woman's testimonies, but we also have found several eye witnesses, and they all testified that you hurt the pregnant woman. How can you explain this?" "I don't know! The Howard family is behind this! It's all part of William's scheme. The vi
As Valeria was about to call William, Abbie was afraid that she would go back on her words, so she asked Braelynn to testify for them, "Braelynn, you have to be the witness for our bet so that Valeria won't go back on her words." Valeria picked up her phone and put her call with William in speaker mode while saying, "There's no need for me to be that shameless! Anyways, I'll show you my mental connection with my husband today." "Hubby, I have something to ask you. Do you have any locations in mind for our wedding?" William laughed, "Do I really have the right to voice my opinions now?" "Of course! After all, it's our wedding, so we should both be satisfied with the decision, right?" "In that case, I'll get straight to the point," William said with a cough, "I had an idea since before to host the wedding in Arcadia." "Go on!" Valeria winked at Abbie. Abbie pursed her lips and mouthed a reply, "He hasn't said the specific location yet, so don't
Veronica was stunned by what he said, "What do you mean? Are you going to kill him?" Ornard nodded and said, "David knows too much about us, so he's just trouble for us now!" Veronica always found that Ornard was overly cautious, so she said, "We can still blackmail him, so he wouldn't dare do anything rash. I don't think he'll sell us out." Ornard shook his head and said, "Everything we did in the past was through David, so we have a mutual blackmail on each other!" Veronica still didn't agree with him, "That's true, but we are holding his family hostage, so he would think twice before doing anything, right? I don't believe that he would give up on his family!" "Hah! Did you really think he cooperated with us because of his family? You thought he really compromised for that?" Ornard sneered. "If so, then you are seriously wrong! David is a greedy man, and he does not want to settle for an ordinary life. By Callum's side, he can only be a mere bodygu
Gavin felt extremely embarrassed to be humiliated in front of so many people, "I... I couldn't get over it. I made a mistake." "If Raelyn still committed these crimes as your actual daughter, would you still treat Valeria this way?" Hayden sneered, "People always say that grandparents are the fondest of their grandchildren. Do you not feel that way? Valeria is so obedient and kind, how can you treat her the way you did?" "I..." Gavin was at a loss for words due to the embarassment. Hayden sat down and said, "When I think back to the time Valeria came home crying with puffy eyes while she was pregnant, I get so mad. If it weren't for William stopping me, I would've gone over to your house to teach you a lesson! You should act your age. How can you be considered as a grandfather when you think so irrationally? I never had the chance to tell you these things, but I finally can now that you're here. Valeria is an important person to the Howard family, and we don't need your com
In the Floyd Group's meeting room in Misurton, Callum was sitting in the main seat, while Thomas was sitting next to him. Both of them were focused on the huge display screen in the conference room as they listened to the manager of each department making their mid-year business reports. In the past half a year, the Misurton company made rapid progress, and its performance was beyond Callum's imagination. He was in an extremely good mood after hearing the reports, and pat Thomas' shoulder after the meeting, "Good job! I knew you were reliable!" Thomas smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss! But I can't take this credit alone. The success we have today is the whole team's effort." Thomas's humility gave Callum an even better impression of him. When he returned to the office, he called his assistant, "Invite the managers of all departments to have dinner with me in the evening. It will be my treat." "Weren't you going to meet Mr. Smith tonight?" The assistant re
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
