In the garden of the Clark family’s villa, Abbie was sitting by the lake and talking to Valeria on the phone.
“Valeria, I’m so bored!”
“If you’re bored, go shopping and buy your favorite bag to feel better.”
“Not anymore!” Abbie replied in distress.
“Why? You’re being restricted to shop again?” Valeria asked with a smile.
“No, I can spend unlimitedly but after thinking about it, I feel that I can no longer live life like this anymore. I have to work hard.”
“Wow, I can’t believe what I’m hearing!”
“I’m not kidding. In the future, not only will I not buy bags anymore, but I will also sell all the bags in my house.”
“What do you mean? Are you gonna turn over a new leaf?” Valeria was getting curious. “What happened to you?”
“It’s all because of Michael. If I continue to spend like this, I don’t think Michael can support me. I have to change my concept of spending from now on.”
Valeria couldn’t help laughing. “Michael has several law firms. How can he not be able to support you? Besides, you have your own studio and shares. What’s there to worry about?”
“You don’t understand! I’m very annoyed now. My brother and mother must have made up their minds not to let me marry Michael. They will cut off my way to make money, then the Davis family will not like me. I think they will play tricks to deal with Michael as well. There are many problems we have to face, you know.”
“How do you know that your brother and mom won’t let you marry Michael? Didn’t your brother agree?”
“That’s just a facade and I’m not stupid. My mother’s leg is injured but my father and my brother are busy working, so no one will come to see us. They must be trying to tear me and Michael apart.”
“Really? What are you going to do then?”
“I don’t know, that’s why I’m so annoyed. Valeria, do you think I should learn from you and just do anything before informing?”
Valeria was shocked. “Are you going to marry Michael?”
“That’s right. What do you think?”
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with your idea, but your situation is different from ours. Back then, William and I were in a blur, but William took the initiative to propose. He didn’t need to worry about anyone else around him!”
“Yeah, I’m worried about that as well. That bitch Azalea just sent me a photo of her and Michael sleeping together. I was so pissed but I restrained myself because I did not want her to feel like she won. Michael explained to me so I should believe in him too. Azalea is damn disgusting, so shouldn’t I do something back to her?”
“Well, have you thought about it? Do you want Azalea to marry Michael, or do you really love him?”
“Of course I really love him! Valeria, I love Michael just like how you love William. I wanna marry him so badly! Do you get me!”
“Yeah! Since you like him so much, then do what you want! If you need any help, just come to me. I will try my best to help you!”
After chatting with Valeria, Abbie felt much more comfortable. She got up and was about to go back when Michael called her. “What are you doing?”
“Miss me?” Abbie asked.
“Yes, I miss you so badly! Wanna have coffee together?”
“Now?”
“Yep!”
“Are you kidding me?” Abbie snorted.
“I’m not joking, dear. I am waiting for you at the door.”
“You’re here? Didn’t you say you are coming next week?” Abbie was stunned.
“I miss you, so I came earlier!”
“Got it! I’ll be right out!”
Abbie ran out with her mobile phone. There was a black car parked under a tree opposite the villa. Michael then saw Abbie and opened his arms to welcome her.
Abbie threw himself into Michael’s arms and they hugged each other. “I missed you so much!”
“Aw, I miss you too!”
“This is not a good place to talk. Let’s go!” Michael pulled Abbie into the car and they sped away.
On the balcony of the villa, Helen was reading a book under the shade. When she heard the sound of the car, she saw Michael’s side face in the driver’s seat when she turned. “Where’s Abbie?”
The servant did not know that Abbie had gone out and replied, “She is in the garden.”
“Are you sure? Go and find her and tell her to have tea with me!”
The servant agreed and came back a few minutes later to report, “Madam, she left.”
Helen sighed and motioned for the servants to leave. She called Richard and said, “Michael is here and he took Abbie with him. What should we do now, Richard?”
“Michael is there? Are you sure?”
“Yes. I just saw his car passing by the door and Abbie is nowhere to be seen too.”
“I see. I’ll ask what’s going on, so wait for my news.”
Richard hung up the phone and snorted angrily. “What a trick! I have to stop him!”
Braelynn, who was beside him frowned. “Since they like each other, just allow them to be together! Stop being the bad guy here!”
“I wanted to, but Michael couldn’t handle his own family affairs and my mom was humiliated by Meadow! It pisses me off so much! Who the hell do you think Meadow is? That bitch talked so dirtily to my mom. If it was your mom, could you have allowed that to happen?”
Braelynn understood Richard feeling and said, “Meadow is disgusting, but she can’t live for a lifetime. You have to think about the future. Abbie is gonna have a future with Michael, and you should probably think of her happiness, right?”
“Let’s talk about it later. Let’s see what Michael is going to do first.”
Richard called the foreign bodyguards as he spoke. “Find out where Abbie is immediately. I want to know what she’s doing right now.”
“Sir, her phone is off!” the bodyguard replied.
“Fuck! What about Michael?”
The bodyguard replied, “Same!”
“What the hell? He must be planning something bad! I have to find Abbie and him now!”
Richard then ordered the bodyguards, “Arrange more men to look for them separately. You guys have to find them!”
“How long will it take for you to find them like this? You should give them some directions, right?” Braelynn shook her head and said.
“But we can’t just sit here and do nothing, right?”
Braelynn glared at Richard. Where’s your brain? Azalea and Meadow must have been watching his every move day and night. If you want to know about his whereabouts or what he is gonna do, you can just contact Azalea.”
