Bobby was not absolutely firm in saying that Callum was the mysterious man. Both William and Marcus were taken aback by his speculation. Marcus then asked, "Why would you say so? What happened to the remaining one percent?"

"One could never be sure of anything and hence, that would be a tiny chance for Callum to be the innocent one. It's wise for us to keep an open mind!" Bobby replied while brushing his head.

Bobby was very concise in his choice of words. He was being thoughtful in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere. He concealed his point in a good way as he was afraid that William would be depressed about it.

William forced a smile and glanced at Marcus. "What do you think then?"

"Well." Marcus paused for a while and continued speaking, "I refuse to believe that Callum is the mysterious man before Braelynn's DNA test was being obtained. However, there is now an eighty percent chance for him to be the culprit as he is confirmed to be her father. I had als

    Emily was stunned for a moment before asking, "Abuse? Meadow, what are you talking about? Why didn't I hear it from Azalea before?" "She would only tell you the nice things but keep the depressing incidents to herself. It is not her style for giving out negative vibes towards others. I would not have believed it as well if I did not witness it myself." Meadow began to spew nonsense, "The senior members of the Clark family do not treat her poorly. It is just that they are not affectionate towards her that's all. However, Abbie is genuinely a pain in the ass. She would scold and get rough on Azalea as she pleases. She even persuaded the servants to mess with Azalea. Your niece is portrayed to be a posh and sophisticated lady from the Clark family in the public eye. God knows how much pain she had endured all these years. She has been suppressing her emotions all these while just to make ends meet. She is genuinely a pitiful one since she was little." Emily would not hav

    Emily had been bombarding a series of questions. Meadow was obviously not convincing enough to change her mind.  Meadow decided to go all-in and said, "It's a long story but I shall tell you the entire picture today. The incident had happened abroad and for starters, Abbie has always been very fond of Michael. She sneakily got him drunk just to force him into being in a relationship with her. She claimed that my son had harassed her and even recorded a video just to threaten him. I'm sure you are well aware that  Michael is a famous lawyer with a good reputation. He is afraid that his career would be jeopardized should this scandal get broken out." Emily was stunned upon listening about it. "Really? How could Abbie turn out to be such a mean and cunning person?" "Don't you know that she has always been like this? Apart from her outrageous personality, she would also use her fame and power to bully others. She is the eldest daughter of the Clark family and is very well

    William laughed, but it wasn't a genuine smile, "My men followed David because we found out his secret, I want to figure out that secret." William's answer was within Callum's expectations so he immediately asked, "What's David's secret?" "Don't you know?" William asked. "How would I know?" Callum was dumbfounded. "David is your bodyguard, so I thought you should know what he has done?" William asked. There was a touch of irony in his question. "He's just my bodyguard, not my family or my personal property. How could I know what he has done?" Callum heard the implication of William's words and frowned deeply.  "Really? How can you trust your people so much? Is this so called 'if you use a man, don't suspect him, if you suspect him, don't trust him?" William's lips curled up, but it was not sincere at all. Instead, it was a mocking smile. "Uncle, you're really a man who does great things. How can you be so assured about the people around you? I

    When Bobby saw William walk out of the hotel, he got off the car and welcomed him. He opened the car door for William to get on while he sized him up and down. William got in the car and let out a sigh of relief. He looked much more relaxed compared to when he just arrived. Bobby felt relieved and asked, "Sir, how did it go?" "Nothing much," William replied faintly, "Let's go home. Valeria is still waiting for me." "Yes, sir," Bobby replied. As he drove the car, he also observed William's expression. Bobby could not help but ask after a while, "The mysterious man is not him, right?" William shook his head, "It's hard to say now, but he just called the police in front of me. That's a 50/50 chance, let's just wait and see." After William left, Callum did not have the mood to eat anymore. He also got up and left the hotel. When he returned to Wolf Group, Fandree was watching TV in the living room. He was surprised to see Callum and asked, "Why are you here?"

    In B City Hospital, Paisley was sitting on her bed and making a phone call. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "Dad, one of my hands has been completely broken, and my brother is as worse as me. Do you not care about us? Are you going to just ignore us?" Paisley's father felt helpless and sighed, "Paisley, it's not that I don't care. I'm also worried but now I really have no time. What happened to your brother had affected us a lot. Our company is in a mess now, and our company overseas has also been affected. I have to deal with the companies first. Besides, we have nothing on William so there's nothing else I can do, right?" "I don't believe that you don't have a way to deal with him. As long as you want to, you'll come up with a way!

    William realized that Valeria and Deborah had an appointment, so Bobby returned and went to the private restaurant of Valeria and Deborah. Valeria and Deborah ordered a table of dishes. Both of them had fun while eating. They were surprised when William came in. Valeria looked at William strangely and said, "Dear, didn't you say you have an appointment tonight?" "Don't you welcome me?" William sat beside Valeria and asked. "No such thing! We're really happy that you're coming. Grandma and I just planned to go for the movies. Let's go together." "Okay, that's good!" William agreed. Deborah smiled and asked, "Are you concerned about Valeria? Are you worried that I would treat her badly?" "No. I believe in grandma, of course. I was nearby, so I came to have a look here and eat by the way." The waiter brought in tableware. Valeria served William his favourite dishes. "Darling, you've worked hard, have more!"

    Fandrey forced a smile, "Nothing! You're back? Are you having fun?" "Yes! I had a meal with Valeria. In the end, William also went to join the fun and accompanied us to watch a movie." Deborah sat down and replied. "William was there too?" Fandrey asked in surprise. "Yes. Are you surprised?" "Yeah. How was he? Is he in a good mood?" Fandrey asked. "Of course. He wouldn't be in a bad mood in front of his wife." After Deborah said that, something struck her. "Why did you ask if William was in a good mood?" "I'm just asking!" Fandrey took a look at Callum after he finished speaking. Deborah looked over Callum and said, "What's wrong with Callum? Is it because of the issue of David? How is David's business going?" "There is no progress. The police are still investigating." Callum replied. "Is that so? David is too pitiful. How could he be killed? That's crazy! It's still uncertain that if we can find out the murderer behind it." Deborah had a

    Several messages were sent from Marcus. "Mr. Howard, news about our bodyguards had caused David's death has begun to brew. The impact is very bad. Mr. Clark, Michael and President Saunders have already known about it. They called me and asked me about the situation. I followed your orders and let them ignore it."

  • That Stranger Lying Beside Me   Chapter 1748 The End

    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

  • That Stranger Lying Beside Me   Chapter 1745 Despise Abbie

    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
