At six o'clock in the evening, a group of people left the Howard family's old estate to go to the hotel. Valeria, Braelynn, Abbie, and Hayden were in the same car, while Gavin and Arthur were in the other. Braelynn's situation plagued Gavin's mind. The moment his car left the Howard family's old estate, he told Arthur about this matter, "I've carefully observed Braelynn today and found that her eyes looked very similar to Valeria's. Could she be related to the Saunders family?" Arthur knew that Gavin had been thinking about his daughter, so it was inevitable for him to relate everything to her. However, Arthur felt that Gavin was deluded since Braelynn was an abandoned baby that Lamont had picked up, so how could she be related to the Saunders family? Arthur did not want to upset him, but it was dangerous for Gavin to relate everything to his daughter, so Arthur couldn't play along with his delusions anymore and made it clear to Gavin, "Braelynn does look like Miss Br
Braelynn spoke very naturally, but Richard's thoughts were all over the place while he put on a straight face. When did Braelynn get a boyfriend? How did he not know about it? If Braelynn got a boyfriend, then who was he to her? It was William who taught him to play hard to get with Braelynn. However, after listening to William's advice, she became someone else's girlfriend instead. What was going on? Richard thought about it and looked at William. William was peeling shrimps for Valeria, but he heard the conversation between Braelynn and Richard clearly. Braelynn actually got a boyfriend? Why did it feel a little strange? Braelynn was beautiful, so it would be normal for her to have a boyfriend. However, William was the one who advised Richard to neglect Braelynn and play hard to get, so it would partially be his fault that she was with someone else now. William thought to himself and naturally felt Richard's gaze on him. He put the peeled sh
In the presidential suite of the Misurton Hotel, Callum was busy with work in his study room, while David was absent-mindedly browsing through videos on his mobile phone in the guard room. In the afternoon, he sent a message to Ornard saying that he was being followed and told him to cut off contact with him for a while. This way, even if William were to keep an eye on him, he would not find anything wrong, and he would temporarily be safe. However, it was hard to say. William was not an ordinary person, and it would not be easy to live under his surveillance in the future, so it was best if the Floyd family decided to change their schedule and return overseas immediately. This way, he no longer had to worry about the people following him. As he thought about it, he decided to ask Callum about the date of their return. As soon as he stood up and opened the door, his phone rang and a string of numbers appeared on the screen. Gurmisran had sent him a c
Gurmisran knew what Ornard meant and said, "David is the bodyguard of Callum. He knew that he was being tailed yesterday but was then gotten rid of. It would be logical for William to blame it on Callum and their relationship would be strained. The both of them would soon declare war with each other. We can then sit back and enjoy the show." Ornard chuckled and said complacently, "There's still one final move left. You can swiftly get rid of Callum as long as they start fighting among themselves. William will be blamed upon the death of Callum. It would be a shocking piece of news for both Fandrey and Deborah. She will not be able to hold on any longer upon the death of her only son. We'll then have the opportunity to take over the Floyd family." Gurmisran was feeling hopeful and said, "I'm looking forward to that day. It will then indicate that our efforts did not go to vain." "Yes, I will also fulfill my promise to you. Their company at Misurton would eventually bel
Bobby swiftly chimed in, "Callum is confirmed to be the mysterious man should it be Gurmisran who did it. He was the one who arranged for David to contact Gurmisran. Rammos must have told Callum first-hand when we were being discovered for tailing behind David. If my speculation is correct, it would be logical for Callum to get rid of his bodyguard as an exit ticket to cut off all ties. Hence, I do think that he is the culprit behind David's death. After all, David would not guard up against him, right? Besides, Declan did also suspect that Callum is the mysterious man." "I am skeptical about your point of view." Marcus shook his head and continued speaking, "I would admit that I do not know Mr. Floyd well. However, wouldn't this indicate that he is the one to be blamed for the death of Mr. Howard's mother? Why would he get rid of his sister? Is it just for the sake of the inheritance of wealth? It still does not make sense as the shares of Mr. Howard's mother still do not belong
Bobby quickly marched out of the president's office and soon met Valeria. She was holding a bag that was tightly sealed in her hand and was having a conversation with the secretary. Bobby reached out with a smile on his face and said, "Mrs. Howard, let me give you a hand!" Valeria drew back her hand and said, "No, I can't give it to you as this is meant for my husband. What should I do if you secretly have it all?" "Rest assured as I would not consume it!" Bobby promised her. "I don't believe you. It would be best if I give it to him personally." Bobby chuckled and lowered his voice, "Mrs. Howard, Sir is feeling relatively moody right now." Valeria paused and asked in a soft voice, "Did something bad happen not long ago?" "Yes, you're right. It would be best to hear it from him. Mrs. Howard, you can head in and meet with him now." "Alright, thanks for the heads up!" Valeria carried the bag with her and went into the office. She glanced at Bobby upon
The following scene had taken place in the detention center. Hardy had been locked up for several days ever since he was brought in. The police had been questioning him several times during this period. They wanted to know more in detail about how he had harmed Natasya. Hardy had been claiming his innocence and refused to admit that he had indeed hurt Natasya. He knew very well that it would be game over should he admit to his guilty acts. On the other hand, there was still a chance to turn things around should he continue to play dumb. Hardy knew the severity of this issue and placed all hopes on his father to lend him a helping hand. He was the son that his father was most proud of. His father would not be willing to abandon him and would definitely come up with ways to save him from trouble. Hardy was initially very hopeful about his father's rescue plan. However, he had been locked up in the detention center for several days. He began to feel distressed as
The lawyer shook his head and said, "It would be at least five years for you and that is a bare minimum. I can't come up with an exact number if someone intends to give you a hard time." "William will not let things slide! He'll definitely make things difficult for me!" Hardy murmured to himself. It would be a whole new game should William interfere in this matter. Hardy would be locked up in prison for at least ten years. "There is one solution left to ease this matter. We need to come up with a way to get the Anderson family to sign a dispute settlement agreement," The lawyer continued speaking. "You would have a lighter punishment should you obtain the said letter from the Anderson family. Raelyn was arrested by the police as she was charged with murdering several people. Things do not look good for her. On the other hand, Devon was also taken away by the authority. He was involved in many crimes and would face a similar fate with his wife. Hence, the only person
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
