(Flora's POV)I went to the top floor and saw Leo. He was wearing an open-chested shirt, exposing his muscular body generously to anyone.There were dozens of models around him, all smiling and cheering with him, and a few were bold enough to lean on his shoulders, stroking his chest muscles. Seeing such a scene, I felt like my heart was stabbed.“As you can see, ma'am!” Abbi Miller shouted out in surprise.I glanced at her. “Maybe it's time for you to mind your business.” I hate her more and more now.“I am now personally appointed by Irina as Leo's assistant. My job is to mind his business. By the way, you know what I just went downstairs for? I went to buy this,” Abbi Miller said, showing off some kind of small rubber box, shaking it in front of me, and sighing.“Oh, so many women, I don't know if these are enough. Maybe I have to buy a few more for him.”At this moment, I could not wait to give her a punch. However, just when I wanted to take action, Leo looked over and stopped he
(Abbi's POV)Leo's mood today was terrible.As soon as I entered the company, I saw all my colleagues panicking. After encountering Alva, he told me, “Leo's mood is very bad now. I suggest you not appear in front of him today.”“But, what if I can solve his problem?” I ignored Alva's advice and walked into his office. I knocked on the door and said, “I am the assistant Caitlyn Christian has arranged for you.”Leo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and didn't look back at me. He said, “Get out.”“The data of NK Media overseas has false situations. Once we find evidence, once we find evidence, we will be able to not only suspend the contract but also charge George, the main person in charge, with data falsification.” I hoped the news that Mable Bell told me was true.Leo finally turned his head and glanced at me. His eyes were a little dissatisfied as he asked, “Why you?”“Because I'm the one who is willing to dig up such private information for you,” I told him directly into
(Leo's POV)Finally, I returned to the city. After getting the evidence of George's data falsification, my heart finally settled because I knew Flora wouldn't leave me anymore.But before that, she should be punished for her change of heart. So, I asked Abbi Miller to arrange a party and prepare to punish her. I wanted to see to what extent she could put up with George.However, my heart was irritated when I saw her care for George. Was George so important to her that she willingly stayed here and heard so many ugly words without saying a word?I couldn't stand it anymore, so I let her drink champagne and asked her to tell the truth. When I saw her throwing her fist at me, I wanted to laugh because I knew that she finally couldn't bear it anymore.It turned out that George was not so important to her. When I was going to catch her, a woman pulled her hair and pulled her down. Because of that, Flora fell in front of me and fainted.I was almost crazy when I saw that. "What are you doin
(Abbi's POV)The plan was going well. As soon as Leo left, I looked at Caitlyn Christian, who was now lying on the hospital bed, and let out a grin. Since the man was no longer here, we could carry out our plan. This hospital also took care of Flora's mother, Ada. The moment I learned Flora's mother was also here, Caitlyn Christian and I were planning to kill that old woman.Unfortunately, the hospital's security in the critically-ill area was extremely strict. Without the mutual consent of the doctor and the patient, there was absolutely no way for people to visit them privately. Therefore, we had planned to find any reason to get hospitalized. Thank goodness luck was on our side as Caitlyn Christian sent herself straight to the emergency room because she had attacked herself. Since we were now in the ICU room, which was on the same floor as the critically-ill area, our plan to kill her became easier. We could find a way to sneak up to kill her when the nurse changed shifts. As soo
(Flora's POV)I woke up from what seemed to be a long sleep, but I was still dizzy. Then, I looked around. Where was this place? I didn't know about this place. Yet, I could see that my clothes and mobile phone were well placed. After I checked, I picked up the mobile phone and glanced at it. There were lots of missed calls. All of them were from George. Just then, the phone rang again."Flora, how's it going on your side?" George asked me.I could only tell him the truth, "I don't know very well. Before Leo asked me to drink champagne before he was willing to talk to me about you, I was drunk.""He didn't do anything to you, did he?""No, I'm fine. I just woke up," I told George.Unexpectedly, George actually told me what happened next, "If you didn't talk to him about anything, you don't need to talk at all. I have found out what evidence he has about us, and now that the corresponding server has been destroyed, he can't do anything anymore. As for the further investigation, the cou
(Flora's POV)I rushed to the hospital as fast as I could to meet my mother.As soon as I saw her dying, tears rolled down my eyes. "Mom, don't go. Don't leave me alone, please. Will you stay?"She looked at me and even cried, "No... Flora... I can't stay to hurt you anymore.""You didn't hurt me. You are my mom. How could you hurt me? Mom, I beg you not to die. Don't die, okay?" I couldn't stop my tears.In fact, I had made psychological preparations before, thinking of how I would face the day when it finally came. But when it really came to that day, I still thought it came too suddenly. I didn't want to face, nor could I face the fact that my mother was dying.At that time, my mother took my hand. It made me suddenly worried because I had returned the diamond ring to Leo."Flora... I'm sorry. I thought that... Letting you marry Leo... It was to make you happy, but I didn't think you paid so much to make me happy... He doesn't love you at all, does he?""No, we're fine. I didn't we
(Abbi's POV)Ada was dead.When Eleanor and I were discharged from the hospital in the morning, we saw the nurse calling Flora.For a moment, I felt very guilty. I felt like I had killed someone.But Ada was a cancer patient, after all. She would die in the hospital sooner or later. What I did, perhaps, was just to end her pain earlier.That excuse made me feel much better. But I didn't expect that Flora would start to fight back just two hours later.Cody even officially informed Eleanor of the divorce. She was so angry that she almost demolished the whole sanatorium.After receiving the news, I hurried to ask Leo to leave. "I'm sorry, Leo. Something happened to Eleanor. I want to see it.""What happened to her again?" Leo asked me back.But I didn't want him to know that Ada was dead and Flora wanted to fight back. I only said vaguely, "I don't know for the time being. I won't know why until I get there.""Alright. Go and look at her first. You don't have to come to the company unti
(Leo's POV)"How did things turn out like this? Why am I the last person to know?!" I asked Alva very angrily.But Alva told me, "Leo, you've always hated Flora and Ada so much in the past, so I thought you wouldn't be so interested in this matter. Besides, I just learned about this news from Cody. He also told me that after all this, Flora doesn't care about you anymore…."After listening to Alva's words, my heart was full of remorse. Yes… I guess I was the one who made Ada like this… After three years of marriage, I never even went home, nor have I ever seen Flora and Ada once! People thought that I didn't care about Ada's life or death at all. That's why they wouldn't even bother telling me of her death. I didn't even notice that last night, my mother was in the same hospital as her… it was my negligence and fault led to this result!"Leo, don't worry about it too much. I know you will eventually find a way to deal with this and find your closure…." Alva comforted me carefully. But
Flora's POVOpening my eyes again, I looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with some despair.I thought I would be able to sleep forever and not need to wake up again.But I'm still dead.Leo didn't kill me.Then I'll have to do it myself.I got up, not expecting to see Abbi, who had been watching me from the sidelines, and realized that I was now in what appeared to be the cabin of an airplane.I don't want to pay any attention to this woman.But she reached out to me and talked to me."Flora, Leo has already told me that you're being irrational and even wanting to die, but I'd advise you that it's best to put that idea to rest.""You're not qualified." I said impatiently.At this time, a trace of confusion appeared on her face before she said, "You really are very different from the you of the past ... Never mind, I have already written the reason while you were unconscious, so you can see for yourself."When she finished, she handed me the book in her hand to read.The handwriting
Leo's POVI decided to give Flora her freedom back.By the time I saw Flora again, things were a little out of control."I'm not going to let you die so easily, I'm going to arrange the most brutal treatment for you, I'm going to make you get electrocuted and shot until you don't have a single piece of good flesh on your body, I'm also going to arrange for you to have an operation but I'm not going to give you a single milliliter of anesthesia, I'm going to make life worse for you and I'm going to make you pay for all of the suffering that I've been put through!"I stopped.Through the thin door of the hospital room, for a moment, I was surprised that I didn't have the strength to push it open again.My mother's voice came to my ears, "You could have tried, Leo wouldn't have let me suffer, he would have killed you when he found out the dirty thoughts inside you!""What do you think, do I even care? Besides he'll be gone soon, he'll go to the Mountain to find me a gift from God, maybe
Flora's POVThe cell phone's message alert chimed.I didn't dare to look at it, but looked at Leo and said somewhat sheepishly, "That ... is pretty good."Luckily, Leo didn't mind my perfunctory remarks and continued."After I leave, take care of yourself and your child; if you have any problems you can call my father, you should have met him. I will leave you all my accounts, of course, not all the money you can withdraw now, some are accounts under the name of the company, and at the end of the year there is usually a dividend on the stock, the dividend goes into a private account, company wise things, you can ask Alva, ask my father as well."He looked at me, his eyes full of tenderness.At this moment, I suddenly understood a little why he never hit on Abbi who was still loves him.Even if there wasn't the slightest bit of love in my heart, I had to admit that he was indeed an excellent man, and even at this juncture where he was about to be sent to his death, he still managed to
(Leo's POV)Abbi Miller told me the terrible things she'd seen and then said with pleading eyes, "Leo, please. Don't go. You can hate me, but I don't want anything to happen to you!"Although Alva said nothing, I knew he probably had the same thought as Abbi Miller. However, I had made my decision.I said, "Alva, take Abbi Miller back and make sure she can't escape again."Alva knew my temper, so he could only take Abbi Miller away first.Unexpectedly, when she reached the door, Abbi Miller grabbed the door frame and shouted, "I've been to the depths of Green Jade Mountain, and I know the way there! Leo, please don't drive me away! I can take you there!""Take her away," I said to Alva.Alva was a werewolf. So naturally, he couldn't allow a human to delay him. Alva shook his head and took Abbi Miller away in silence.Finally, the house was completely quiet. Nick and Betty, who went shopping, returned at that time.When they saw me earlier, they went to the supermarket so that Flora an
(Leo's POV)I was shocked by Mike's words. I never thought that all the twists and turns I went through with Flora were because we were originally cursed lovers!And to solve this problem, I feared I had to go to Green Jade Mountain...When I was thinking, Alva said anxiously, "Leo, don't trust him. He may have lied to you! God left no treasure on the Green Jade Mountain. No one has ever found it, right? That mountain's really dangerous!"Surprisingly, Flora said, "To be honest, I don't think it's worth risking your life. I'm fine as I am. After a year, we'll separate as agreed. I won't take the child with me. There's no need for you to go there. I no longer have feelings for you, so don't try to impress me. At most, you can only make me laugh.""Looks like we have a chicken here," Mike said and sneered.Alva clenched his fists and said, "I'd better take him first, Leo...""No, let him go.""What?""Let him go, Alva. He may have attacked me, but he doesn't pose any threat. On the cont
(Flora's POV)During my trip to the sanatorium, I appeared to have achieved nothing on the surface, but I had learned that Leo agreed to Caitlyn Christian being treated there. It raised suspicions that he would finally let her be treated because he was once very resistant to the medical methods used.When I got home, Leo was already back. Upon seeing me, he asked, "Flora, now you can always raise your baby in peace, right?""Maybe." I frowned. "But Caitlyn Christian's state is worse than I thought. She can't even say a word. This can't be your doing, can it?" I asked him."I've told you, she needs treatment and has been receiving it. She's in a bad state, Flora. The illness is already torturing her. Perhaps she had once done something wrong, but now she's being punished this way with her illness. Seeing her already miserable in this state, can't you give up already?""I don't know. I'm tired, don't talk to me." I said, no longer paying attention to Leo.Leo sighed, then he went to one
(Flora's POV)It was a bright and sunny day. Accompanied by Betty and Nick, we walked our way to the sanatorium. As I learned, Leo picked this very high-end and modern sanatorium equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and professional medical care for Caitlyn Christian. I thought she would have a pleasant and easy time here.Doctors and nurses, all clad in white uniforms, walked past me as I continued to walk. A brief thought came to my mind, and I couldn't help but think, 'What if Mable Bell was one of them?' A female killer lurking in the hospital, disguised as one of the hospital staff, could be interesting but scary too. I thought this and followed the nurses to Caitlyn Christian's ward.There was also a doctor there, and when he saw me, an expression of surprise crossed his face."Flora! It's you! How did you get here!" He looked very excited as if he was meeting an old friend.I was confused and hurriedly explained my memory loss, saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm not the old Flora
(Abbi's POV)I was living on the second floor. There was nothing outside my window that could be used to climb down. I gasped and wondered if my eyes were mistaken when a man suddenly appeared in my room. He was tall and slender, wearing a black trench coat, and his whole body was covered with an ominous aura.He was a werewolf.I realized this almost instantly. And what was more striking was that his features were oddly similar to Mable Bell's. I was scared out of my mind but tried to keep calm."Who are you?" I inquired softly, not even daring to raise my voice.I suddenly remembered the horrible scene where Mable Bell was about to kill me almost instantly."I'm Mike, Mable Bell's brother, and I've been on my sister's trail lately. You knew her, didn't you?" he asked with a sinister smirk.I gulped and hurriedly replied, "I don't know anything about that.""Really? You're not lying to me?" Mike asked, pressing closer to me.As I listened to his words, I couldn't help but think of Ma
(Flora's POV)"You've met George. Can you calm down now?" Leo asked me, his expression slightly annoyed."No, I need to see your mother," I said firmly.Since Mable Bell had been Ilana's chaperone and the two of us had argued about it, it was my understanding that Ilana was a key figure in trying to figure out my past life. Leo had been reluctant to bring up the subject of her mother, and I knew that whatever information he was trying to conceal from me was meaningful. So, I had to see Ilana.As expected, he refused my request by giving a somewhat plausible excuse. "She is sick, and I highly doubt that she'll answer your questions. Furthermore, it's better for her to rest than trying to bombard her with questions."My persistent little brain couldn't accept such an excuse, and I wanted to see her at all costs. So, I insisted, "I didn't say I was going to ask her anything either; I just wanted to see her. Isn't it strange that as your wife, I haven't even seen your mother once?"But Le
