All Chapters of That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Chapter 1021 - Chapter 1030

A few seconds after the message was sent, Gurmisran replied, "Did you even spare any effort to do this? Braelynn is your adopted daughter, so how can she be so heartless to her mother?" "But that's the truth! She used to listen to me, but she has strayed further from me since she took the lead in Valeria's company. If I hadn't taken the initiative to call her on this matter, she wouldn't have told me! If I had known that she was so heartless, I shouldn't have raised her!" When Gurmisran saw that Lucian's reply was full of resentment, he could not figure out whether she was really rejected by Braelynn or if she said these words deliberately to not be his pawn. He entrusted Ornard to tell him the situation of the party. The party was held in Wolf Group and it was on a grand scale. It was also unknown whether William did this to embarrass Callum openly or for some other reason. Gurmisran was not qualified to enter the party and he didn't know any guests as well, so

"Michael? He should be there tonight. If he isn't, his father and I will force him to go!" Meadow promised. "I'm afraid he won't go! After all, it's my party and he's avoiding me now. He doesn't answer my phone or reply to my messages. He acts as if I don't exist." Azalea said with a wronged expression. "I didn't do anything at all, and I'm doing it for his own good. Why is he avoiding me?" "It's all Abbie's fault. She shamelessly pesters Michael. I've scolded her many times, but she doesn't change her ways at all." Meadow understood Azalea very well. Now that the Floyd family held such a grand wine party for Azalea, would they welcome her into their family next? It would be incredible if the Floyd family did that. Their assets were worth billions, and Meadow thought fantasized about it all the time. She had to settle the relationship between Azalea and Michael before the Floyd family recognized Azalea as part of their family. Meadow thought about this and

Hayden took Braelynn's hand and quickly walked to the centre of the hall, where there was a wide liftable stage. Hayden held Braelynn's hand and walked onto the stage. When the stage slowly rose, the spotlights shone on them and Braelynn immediately felt her smile stiffen. Hayden started to talk to her and calmed her nerves. Meanwhile, Valeria held William's hand as they looked at Hayden and Braelynn on the stage. Abbie stood next to her while Michael walked over from the side. Then, he reached out and touched Abbie gently. She immediately looked at Michael and mouthed to tell him that Richard was there, so Michael should stay away. However, Michael refused to leave. Abbie was afraid that Richard would realize that something was wrong, so she quietly left with Michael. William watched coldly as Michael and Abbie left the lounge, and he could not help but shake his head. Michael did not need to cover up his feelings for Abbie. He muttered, "He doesn't

Michael's face was extremely pale when he read Meadow's message. He would be embarrassed if Meadow really came here to make trouble. The Howard family would not let her go that easily. Meadow would definitely be in trouble when Michael's grandfather found out about it. How could he watch as his mother was dealt witth? Michael looked at Meadow's text message and felt embarrassed. Abbie also saw it as well. Only Meadow could do such a thing. Abboe sighed. "Since your mother has threatened you like this, you have no choice but to go. Go ahead!" Michael sat still and looked at Abbie. "Abbie, let's make our relationship public!" "Are you crazy?" Abbie looked at him in shock. "Michael, do you know what that means? My parents will not agree, let alone my brother. From now on, I and you will never see each other again!" "I know, but we can work hard. How about we face this together?" "How? Your parents don't like me, and my parents will never approve of you.

Valeria glared at him. "What are you talking about? Do you think Abbie wants this to happen? It's all Meadow's fault. She said that she would make trouble if Michael didn't go..." William sneered. "Her? Has she lost her mind? I don't need to do anything if she dared to cause trouble here. Her father-in-law can kick her out of the Davis family." "We know that she's threatening Michael, but he gave in to her. Honey, you have to think of a way. I don't want to see Azalea's scheme succeeding." William comforted her by saying, "No, he won't and he's not a fool. Since he dares to go, he must have a plan." "But..." William interrupted Valeria. "Don't worry! If he can't even see through their schemes and settle this problem, he doesn't deserve to be with Abbie." Abbie nodded her head. "That's what I think as well. Even someone like me can see through their act. If he still falls into their trap, there's no point in me being together with him." "Alright
