Chapter 1318 Against Outsiders

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Right at the same time, Abbie received a message attached with a photo from a stranger’s number.
She clicked on the picture and her face fell. Michael and Azalea were both asleep on the same bed with their heads close to each other. Their upper half bodies were naked too.
After Abbie stared at the photo and observed it, she smiled coldly. Was this photo sent by Azalea to provoke her?
At a glance, she could tell that Azalea was trying her best to provoke Abbie. Of course, she would not be fooled.
As Abbie thought about it, Michael’s second message came. “Abbie, one night, I suddenly fainted and fell ill and my grandpa took me to the hospital. When I was blacked out, Azalea and my mother went to the hospital to see me.”
Abbie thought that this photo was Azalea’s scheme, but Michael meant that something might have happened between him and Azalea.
Abbie’s heart sank. “So did anything happen between you and her?”
Michael immediately explained, “No! I was in a coma that night, and I couldn’t do anything. I was worried that Azalea would take advantage of me when I was unconscious. Abbie, if Azalea looks for you, don’t ever trust her.”
“If you and Azalea didn’t do anything, then I wouldn’t believe her! But Michael, are you sure that you two are clean?”
“I can promise that I did not do anything, but I cannot confirm if she did anything to me.”
“Look at this!” Abbie then forwarded the photo to Michael.
Michael panicked when he saw the photo. “Abbie, believe me. I really didn’t do anything and I’m not a fool. I know what happened to my body. I remember that when I woke up, I smelled perfume so I double checked my own body. I’m sure I did not do anything with her.”
“I trust you. It’s okay, you don’t have to explain any further.” Abbie was not comfortable, but Azalea was obviously prepared. If Abbie believed Azalea and fought with Michael, then it would mean that Azalea had won. Abbie couldn’t behave this way, and now both her and Michael had to be on the same side for this.
Michael was relieved that Abbie did not blame him. He had the same thoughts as Abbie. Azalea must be playing her dirty tricks by sending Abbie that photo.
How disgusting and shameless could a woman be? Michael angrily called Azalea and asked, “Azalea, did you send Abbie a photo?”
“Michael, what are you talking about?” Azalea denied innocently with a sneer on her face. Abbie must have asked Michael about it. With Abbie’s personality, they must have quarreled, right?
The fiercer the quarrel was, the better it would be. Only then would Azalea have a chance.
“You are fucking playing dumb right now? Azalea, I thought of you as a human before, but now I realize that I have thought too highly of you. Well, even an animal is better than you.”
Michael had never scolded Azalea so viciously. She was so angry that her face turned red. “I really didn’t do anything. Why don’t you believe me?”
“Don’t pretend to be innocent. I’m warning you now, this is the last time. If you continue up with your stupid tricks, I’m not gonna show you mercy!”
After scolding her, he hung up the call. He knew that Azalea was so bold because of Meadow.
Meadow was vain. She must have regarded Azalea as the daughter of the Floyd family. Therefore, he had to tell Meadow Azalea’s identity.
Michael then called Meadow again. “You took Azalea to the hospital that day to plot against me, didn’t you? I know why you helped Azalea. I’m not afraid to tell you today that Azalea is not the daughter of the Floyd family. If you want to get close to the Floyd family, you’d better stop your acts, so as not to be laughed at in the future.”
“Michael, what’s wrong with you? I explained it to you just now. Why don’t you believe in me?” Meadow didn’t believe Michael’s words at all. She knew best whether Azalea was the daughter of the Floyd family or not.
Michael sneered at Meadow’s denial. “What’s there to trust? If you weren’t my mother, I would have made you wish you were dead if you hadn’t framed me so shamelessly! Still, I called to remind you that don’t waste your effort on Azalea because I know what you are thinking. Well, she is not the daughter of the Floyd family. Even if she is, I will never let you live as you wish! This incident in the hospital is the last time I’m gonna tolerate you! If you push too hard, I’m gonna show you how powerful I can be!”
In the living room downstairs of the villa, Helen was also texting Richard. “How are Michael and Azalea doing?”
“Mom, what is there to be nervous? Chill out!”
“Chill? Abbie is already sick of here and I can’t pretend any longer!”
“Just endure for a few more days. The Davis family won’t be delayed for too long. Michael was in the hospital last time, so Meadow and Azalea can’t do anything at all. I think something will happen in the next few days.”
“Really?” Helen hoped that things could be solved, but she also felt sorry for Abbie. If Michael was framed by Meadow and Azalea, then Abbie would definitely break up with Michael. At that time, Abbie would be very upset. “Richard, I’m worried about Abbie. If something like that really happens, I’m afraid Abbie won’t be able to take it anymore.”
“Mom, it’s better to suffer a short pain than a long one. We’re already trying our best by not doing the worst now.”
“Okay then!” Helen accepted helplessly. “Richard, is there any relationship between Azalea and the Floyd family?”
“Nope! Meadow’s wishful thinking of clinging to the Floyd family is stupid! Let’s just wait and watch the drama later on!”
“It’s a pity for Michael. He’s such a nice guy, so if he ends up with Abbie, it’s gonna be a disgust in his life!” Helen felt bad for Michael.
“Mom, just take care of your own business. You don’t have to worry about Michael.” Richard was not concerned for Michael at all.
Michael was not a fool. The reason why he was so lenient was that Meadow was his biological mother and it was not easy for him to deal with her.
When Meadow hit Michael’s bottom line and his patience ran thin, he would not tolerate her anymore.
At that time, the Davis family would have a good drama! Meadow had dared to threaten Helen and looked down on Abbie, so she was going to be the one crying at the end.
Richard had no sympathy for people like Meadow. Anyway, he would wait to see what would happen to her in the future. He didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire and make Meadow sorrow.
