She stared at Michael and Callum, who were both smiling brightly. Then, both of them shook hands and said goodbye at the door of the hotel. It seemed that they were in a good mood.
It seemed like they had a good discussion. Just as Abbie thought of this, she suddenly saw a slim figure appear in her sight.
Azalea? Why was she here?
After Azalea and Callum came out of the house, she made an excuse to see Emily while Callum went to meet Michael alone. However, she was just making up an excuse and she actually had dinner nearby while she waited for Michael and Callum to finish.
Callum and Michael finally appeared after she waited for a few hours. Azalea walked over with a smile and greeted them. “President Floyd, Michael!”
Michael frowned slightly when he saw Azalea and nodded coldly to her.
Callum said kindly, “Azalea, have you finished everything?”
“Yes!” Azalea replied obediently whle she looked at Michael affectionately.
Michael wanted to leave immediately and he felt extremely disgusted. “President Floyd, then I…”
However, Azalea slipped and fell to the ground with a scream before Michael could finish his words.
Azalea would fall to the ground if he didn’t save her. Michael was not a cruel person, so he instinctively reached out to help Azalea, who took the opportunity to cling to his arms. She had been fully prepared to trip and fall, so she immediately screamed in pain, “Ouch! My foot hurts so bad!”
“Azalea, what’s wrong?” Callum asked anxiously.
“I sprained my ankle and it hurts so much!” Azalea was putting on a blatant act. Although she wasn’t a reputable actress, she still had some skills and Callum actually believed her after he saw her tearful face.
“Michael, hold on to Azalea. I’ll drive!”
It was impossible for Michael to just drop her to the ground, so he could only hold onto her as he was filled with discomfort and distraught.
Abbie saw all of this happen on the other side of the road. She felt as if her heart was constricting when she saw that Michael didn’t let go even after Azalea threw herself into his arms.
Richard saw all of this happen as well. He was glad that Azalea went even more overboard than he had expected and her performance was perfect. A sneer appeared on his face and he shouted, “Abbie, I feel much better now! Let’s go!”
Abbie only reacted when he called her twice in a row. “Don’t you want some flu medicine?”
“It’s alright, you can just send me home. I’ll go back and rest!” Abbie got into the car again when Richard said this and saw Michael helping Azalea get in her car. Abbie looked away immediately and bit her lips as she floored the gas pedal.
Richard rubbed his head and went back to the bedroom to rest after they reached home. Abbie was absent-minded and she really wanted to call Michael to question him immediately, but Richard did not let her go. “My head hurts. Can you go to the medicine cabinet and get me something for my headache?”
Abbie naturally couldn’t ignore Richard, so she got some pills and gave them to him with a glass of water. She said, “I found some flu medicine for you as well. You’d better rest after taking them.”
“You can place it there. I need to go to the bathroom first.” When Richard got up and went to the bathroom, he turned back and said when he reached the door, “You can go back first if you’re busy. Don’t worry about me.”
Abbie was definitely bothered with something. She wanted to chase after Michael and question him, but she was a little worried about Richard. “Will you be alright at home alone?”
“It’s okay. There are servants here. You can go ahead and be careful on the way back.”
Abbie left after that. Meanwhile, Richard came out of the bathroom and called his assistant after he heard her leave. “Have you taken all the photos?”
“Yes, the Davis family were taking photos as well. Do you think they’re trying to create a scandal as well?”
“More or less!” Richard originally wanted his assistant to immediately release the gossip about Michael and Azalea, but he changed his mind after thinking for a while. “I want you to change the plan. Keep an eye on the Davis family’s situation and wait for them to reveal Michael and Azalea’s scandal. We can add fuel to the fire if they have the same intentions as us.”
“Okay!” The assistant agreed.
Abbie quickly returned to her car. She picked up her mobile phone and was about to call Michael, but Meadow called her first. “Abbie, do you know that Michael met Mr. Floyd to discuss a business cooperation tonight?”
“Does it have anything to do with me?” Abbie sneered.
“Of course. This means that the cooperation between the Davis and the Floyd family has officially begun. It also means that the marriage between Azalea and Michael will be on the agenda. I called you just to tell you that if you should leave my son immediately if you don’t want to be humiliated.”
“What right do you have to make a decision for Michael?”
“Because I’m his mother!” Meadow said confidently, “Abbie, I’m not afraid to tell you that the cooperation today was all thanks to Azalea. Mr. Floyd agreed to meet Michael and cooperate with the Davis family for her sake.”
“I can’t imagine how Azalea could be so shameless.” Abbie retorted. She felt a dull pain in his heart when she thought of Azalea falling into Michael’s arms and how he helped her into the car.
“Did you really ignore all the things that I’ve told you so far? Let me tell you again! Azalea is Mr. Floyd’s biological daughter and she is the sole heiress of the Floyd family. Mr. Floyd knows that Azalea likes Michael, so he was willing to help the Davis family. All of us are very satisfied with Azalea. After all, Michael can inherit the assets of the Floyd family when he marries Azalea.”
Meadow was really ambitious. Abbie sneered and said, “Are you so eager to fulfil Azalea’s wish because you have your eyes on the Floyd family’s assets? Won’t your hopes be in vain if Azalea isn’t the heiress of the Floyd family?”
“I know Azalea’s identity very well, so you don’t have to care about that at all. What you need to do now is to leave Michael immediately because he can’t afford to waste time on you! By the way, the sole condition for the cooperation tonight is that Michael must marry Azalea. Since Michael has promised to meet Callum, he has already agreed to this condition. So you’d better give up immediately if you know what’s good for you!”
“Get lost! You’re so vain and shameless. Do you think everyone else is like you?! Michael isn’t like you, so don’t even think of stirring up a fight between us. I won’t believe a single word from you!”
Abbie was filled with fury when she heard Meadow’s words and she shouted in anger as she hung up. She immediately called Michael because she wanted to ask him if it was true.
The call was connected, but no one answered. Abbie then made another call, but the phone was turned off.
Why would Michael turn off his phone without answering her call? What was he trying to do?
