Chapter 1671 You Know What Happened

Francis's lawyer arrived at the police station to bail Evelyn out, but it was rejected. The police said that Evelyn deliberately ordered the murder and caused the death of a civilian. She could not be bailed out because the crime was particularly severe. The lawyer had no choice but to come back to report to Francis. "Sir, the police won't release her on bail." Francis was very angry. "What's going on? Can't you even do such a small task? What am I even hiring you for?" "It's not a small matter. I asked a police officer who's close to me. He revealed some info to me and said that the evidence of Miss Evelyn ordering Jacqueline to kill someone is conclusive. Not only does the police have a recording of her personally admitting that she ordered the murder, but there is also evidence of her buying the poison." Francis thought of how Evelyn had suggested killing Valeria several times, so he also knew what was going on. "Is there no other way?" "If

Chapter 1672 Lawyer

When Michael was welcomed into the living room, Francis asked the servant to pour tea for him. "Michael, I was just about to look for you." Michael did not take the tea since he had his guard up against Francis. "You're looking for me because of Evelyn's matter, right?" "Have you also heard about it? Evelyn isn't in her right mind now, how could she do such a thing? I'm angry at her." Michael couldn't stand looking at how Francis was putting up an act. He said lightly, "Mr. Gurney, I heard that Evelyn killed more than one person." Francis and Frederick were both shocked. "What do you mean?" "Don't you know?" Michael asked, "Evelyn has already killed someone else before she ordered Jacqueline to poison Valeria. Jacqueline has confessed that Evelyn had given her poison and ordered her to commit murder. Evelyn's bodyguard was the one who supplied the poison, and he has already confessed to his crimes after being arrested." Francis and Frederick looked a

Chapter 1673 Cross The Line

Abbie was extremely unwilling after receiving Leonard's invite to treat her to dinner. However, she could only endure it and agree for Emma's sake. She didn't dress up at all when she went out and rushed to the restaurant in plain casual clothes. Leonard booked a place in a restaurant, but the usually lively atmosphere looked a little deserted today. When Abbie entered, she felt a little strange because the waiters stood in the hall to welcome her. They bowed deeply to Abbie and said, "Welcome!" The manager came over with a bunch of flowers and a big smile on his face. Then, he handed the bouquet to Abbie and said, "Miss Clark, Mr. Floyd is waiting for you upstairs. Please come with me!" Abbie took the flowers and followed the manager to the second floor. Leonard was sitting in the private room in a suit and he smiled gently when he saw Abbie. "You're here!" Abbie nodded. The manager helped her pull out a chair and asked her to sit down. When she put the f

Chapter 1674 A Bit Absurd

The news that Michael had become Evelyn's lawyer spread quickly. Wayne was very angry, so he called Michael and asked, "Did you cut ties with William?" "Not yet, but it's hard to say after today." "What's wrong with you? Why did you agree to be Evelyn's lawyer? Aren't you declaring war against William if you do this? He has always been protective of the people close to him, but you're defending his wife's murderer. Do you know that William would kill you in the future?" Michael sneered and said, "From the day you took Azalea home, my friendship with William was no longer the same as before. It's time for me to choose a side now. I can either maintain a friendship with him or stand with the Gurney family. Although William and I have been friends for many years, he did not give me much benefit. Instead, he has always suppressed everywhere. Why should I stay loyal to a friend who doesn't give me any benefits?" Wayne wasn't as angry and anxious after he heard Michae

Chapter 1675 Ask Abbie to Marry Leonard

It was still early when Valeria visited the Clark family and it so happened that Anna, who was still as mysterious as ever, was also at home today. When she saw that Valeria had brought the twins, she happily came over to hug and kiss Cade and Santhos. Helen was very happy to see the twins as well, so she and Anna brought them to the garden to play. Abbie and Valeria followed them to the garden. When they found a quiet place to sit down, Abbie looked around and made sure that there was no one around them. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Valeria, I have something important to tell you. Calm down and listen to me." Valeria nodded. "Go ahead." "I... I didn't lose my memory!" "What!?" Valeria looked at Abbie in shock and raised her voice. Abbie covered Valeria's mouth with her hand. "Keep your voice down. Valeria, I lost my memory at the start, but I remembered everything after that. I know that Leonard has bad intentions toward me and I've

Chapter 1676 Risk and Profits

Valeria was unhappy. "What are you up to? Abbie is extremely anxious right now and she absolutely despises Leonard. Why do you want her to marry him?" "Honey, don't worry, I haven't finished my explanation yet. I just asked Abbie to agree to the proposal, but I didn't ask her to marry Leonard, right?" "You want Abie to pretend to agree first and think of a solution after that?" "That's right, you're so smart!" William nodded. "You can ask Abbie to agree to Leonard's proposal, but she needs to lay out a few conditions." "What are the conditions?" Valeria asked. William smiled and said, "She has to ask for something that Leonard can't complete in a short period of time and you need to ask Helen to bring it up. After all, wouldn't it make more sense to be a parent to make decisions for the sake of their daughter's happiness?" Obviously, Helen was unwilling to let Abbie marry Leonard. If Helen made an excessive request, Leonard would definitely have no c

Chapter 1677 Riskier

Michael was a man of his word, so he really took Azalea to dinner that night. Azalea was extremely happy. She ignored the fact that there were still wounds on her face and frantically rubbed ointment on it. She covered the scars on her face with concealer and changed into her most beautiful clothes. Then, she repeatedly scrutinized herself in the mirror to make sure that she looked flawless before rushing to the restaurant where Michael had reserved for dinner. Michael was different from usual and he actually arrived in advance. His attitude towards Azalea changed a lot. He even gently talked to her and asked her what she wanted to eat. Azalea was overwhelmed when Michael showed her such affection. "I can eat anything!" "Then I'll order. Let's have a drink at a bar!" Michael began to order and prepared a bottle of red wine. This dinner was very pleasant, at least to Azalea. Michael not only chatted with her, but he also served her some food and she d

Chapter 1678 My Mother is Sick

Azalea was aching all over when she opened her eyes the next morning. There was no one when she turned to look beside her, but she could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom. Azalea heaved a sigh of relief when there was someone taking a shower inside. Last night, Michael had helped her into the room and he immediately pounced on her before she could even turn on the light. Of course, Azalea didn't refuse him. Although she willingly pleasured Michael, she wasn't completely in a daze.  She didn't know why, but she felt that the man she had sex with wasn't Michael. Just as Azalea was thinking about it, the bathroom door opened and Michael came out in a neat outfit. Azalea's doubts were dispelled when she saw Michael and she gave him a bright smile. She said delicately, "Michael!" Michael was not as enthusiastic as last night and he said flatly, "I have something to do in the company, so I'll leave first! You can go back after h

Chapter 1679 Putting on an Act

They were trying to drive Leonard away. However, Leonard was not angry at all when he saw that Abbie was on his side and he apologized respectfully, "Uncle! I'm sorry!" Meanwhile, Abbie was sitting on the sofa indifferently. "What's wrong with her? I'm sure she did it on purpose and I think she's just pretending to be sick!" "Abbie!" When Donald heard Abbie's words, he immediately turned around and said angrily, "I know you've lost your memory and you don't remember your parents, but you should still be kind. My daughter was someone with good intentions and she would always help outsiders, let alone her own mother. You've gone too far! I'm very disappointed in you!" Anna also said, "Abbie, you've overstepped the time!" Abbie still wanted to refute, but Leonard stopped her. "Abbie, why don't you see me off?" As Abbie got up and walked Leonard to the door, she muttered as she walked, "My mother is just putting on an act because she doesn't want to agree to o

Chapter 1680 Don't Know Anything

After Anna drove Helen to the Howard family's mansion, she accidentally realized that Raymond was there as well. Valeria invited Helen to sit down while Raymond took his nephews to the children's play area in the garden with Anna.  Helen didn't waste any more time. "Valeria, I came to talk to you about Abbie. She asked Leonard to come to our house and told us that she would marry him. I didn't agree with her decision, but she adamantly went against us. It made me so anxious that I came to you. Valeria, can you help me persuade her?" Valeria had already known Abbie's decision from the start, and she said after thinking for a while, "You know how temperamental she is. Since she has decided to do this, I'm afraid it will be useless to persuade her. On the contrary, it will make her go against you even more." "Then what should we do? I can't just stand by and watch her marry a man who already has a child. You said that Leonard isn't a good guy as well. I knew that h
