Meanwhile, in the Clark family, Richard hurriedly got out of the car and entered the living room. “Mom, I have so much work to do in the company. Why can’t you just tell me over the phone?”
“You can leave now. I have something to say to Richard.” Helen asked the servants in the living room to leave. “Come and sit down, I have something important to tell you.”
Richard sat down and said, “Hurry up. I have to go back to the company.”
Helen frowned and said, “Richard, I asked you to come back because I need to tell you about Abbie. You have to find a way to solve her problem because this can’t go on!”
“Mom, didn’t you promise me that we’ll discuss this after some time?”
“Yes, but they are all bullying me now. They’ve insulted me so much that I feel so ashamed. I’ve never been humiliated like this, so you have to solve this immediately!”
“What do you mean? Did Meadow call you again?”
“Yes! I can’t even bear to show my face in public after I keep getting humiliated by someone from such a shitty family.”
Richard’s face darkened. “What did she say?”
“What else? She said that Abbie shamelessly pestered Michael and she trampled all over Abbie’s reputation. She also said that Michael must marry Azalea and she will never let Abbie marry Michael as long as she’s alive. She also said that Abbie wanted to be with Michael so badly that she even borrowed 20 million dollars to save the Davis family’s company. She said that she doesn’t care about Abbie’s efforts, and that Abbie is vicious…”
Helen couldn’t go on. “I have always loved Abbie so much, but Meadow treats her like dirt. How can I be alright with this? Richard, we can’t be soft-hearted anymore and you have to find a way to end it.”
“Damn it!” Richard spat angrily. Helen had always been gentle and she had never competed with others, Meadow was a vicious wench. Richard could imagine how vicious Meadow was that she forced Helen to the point of desperation.
“Mom, I’ll make her pay for what you’ve suffered today!”
“Richard, I don’t mind being humiliated. The most important thing is to settle Abbie’s problem now.” Helen was determined to solve the matter after being insulted by Meadow.
“I know that I can’t control Abbie once she grows up. I was soft-hearted before because I knew how much Abbie liked Michael. I thought Michael would be a good man since he grew up with you and nothing bad will happen if Abbie marries him. But it’s just our wishful thinking. Meadow is extremely greedy and she doesn’t like us. In this case, why are we holding on to this? You must find a way to separate Michael and Abbie!”
“I see. I’ll think of a way.”
“Richard, you can’t ignore my words and you have to deal with this immediately! This is really dangerous. Abbie even borrowed money for Michael and twenty million is not a small sum at all. Michael is more important to her than me and you. This is terrible. Will Abbie be able to come out of this situation unscathed if Michael is as despicable as Meadow?” Helen was really scared. “I will oversee this matter personally.”
Richard nodded and said, “I won’t hide it from you anymore. I’ve already known that Abbie borrowed money and I was also frightened by her behaviour. I’ve been thinking of a way to stop this matte and I’ve already found a way. I was a little hesitant, but I won’t doubt myself anymore now that Meadow has come to provoke you again.”
“Richard, it won’t be so easy for Abbie to give up on Michael. You must think of a way to not hurt Abbie and make her give up completely on Michael.”
“I understand, so you don’t have to worry about it. The reason why Meadow provoked you was that she wanted Michael to marry Azalea. She thinks highly of Azalea and she thought that she had gained a foothold, but she would soon realize that all her efforts were in vain and Azalea is completely insignificant. You should bear with this for the time being because she’ll make a complete fool of herself.”
“Richard, what do you mean by this? I can’t understand what you’re saying at all.”
“Anyway, I can’t tell you too much about this because it’s related to a grand scheme. You just have to believe that Meadow won’t have a good ending.”
Evelyn wanted William’s phone number so badly that she asked her friends for it, but none of them had it.
Evelyn was upset because she couldn’t get William’s phone number. When noon arrived, she was so hungry that she went to the hotel’s restaurant to eat.
Evelyn walked out with her bag when the elevator door opened and went straight to the western restaurant.
She suddenly saw a tall and looming figure in front of her. Wasn’t this man William? What a coincidence! Evelyn was stunned for a second before she immediately ran after him in ecstasy. “William!”
William frowned slightly when he turned his head to look at Evelyn, but she ignored his expression and said, “William, are you going to eat here as well? I haven’t had lunch yet, so let’s go together!”
There was a flash of disgust in William’s eyes and his voice was indifferent. “Miss Gurney, it’s not convenient for me to do that because I’m meeting a guest.”
Only then did Evelyn realize that there was a blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner next to William. However, she wasn’t embarrassed at all and she begged William sheepishly, “William, why don’t you ask your guest if I can join you?”
“You can’t!” William spat coldly.
Evelyn took the initiative to ask the foreigner when she saw that William had rejected her, “Hi, can I have a meal with both of you? I’m his good friend.”
The foreigner didn’t spare Evelyn any of her dignity. “No! We have something very important to talk about.”
“But I’m his best friend…”
“You can’t join us even if you’re his wife!” The foreigner’s reply was very straightforward and Evelyn’s face was covered in a blush. She awkwardly took a step back and watched as William walked away with the two foreigners.
The three men closed the door and laughed after they entered the private room. “You hate that woman, don’t you? You should repay me after I helped you just now!”
William sat down and smiled. “Yes, I really hate her. Thank you!”
“That’s it? Shouldn’t you give me something expensive to repay my favour? You wouldn’t just settle this with a simple thank you, right?”
“Isn’t it enough to treat you to a meal?”
“No, this is too simple. The woman just now is very beautiful, so why don’t you help me pursue her?”
William picked up his cup and took a sip of water. He narrowed his eyes and smiled. “She’s from the Gurney family. Are you sure you want to pursue the heiress of the Gurney family in Bricksburg?”
“No!” The foreigner hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this. “The women of the Gurney family all have bad tempers. I want to be with someone who’s gentle and elegant.”
William couldn’t help laughing and the foreigner followed suit. “Let’s make a bet that the pretty girl has a crush on you and she’ll definitely be waiting for you outside.”
“I won’t see her!”
“She’ll definitely want to see you and I bet that you’ll see her later. If I win, you need to give me 0. 5 per cent of the deal we signed just now and vice versa. What do you think?”
“Okay, deal!” William agreed readily.
