The police involved in the investigation found that Abbie had received a call from Azalea before she went missing.
The Clark family also told the police about the dispute between Abbie and Azalea. They directly pointed out that there was a relationship between Azalea was acquainted with Josephine as well. They suspected that Azalea had ordered Josephine to approach Abbie.
The police immediately went to investigate the hotel where Azalea had stayed. Later, they watched the surveillance video of the hotel and found that Azalea had met Josephine before.
Azalea became a suspect due to her emotional conflict with Abbie, so the police immediately came over to investigate her.
Azalea was summoned to the police station. She refused to admit that she had ordered Josephine to meet Abbie even when she was interrogated by the police. She only said that she was old friends with Josephine and she met up with her to have an ordinary conversation.
She just said that she had a normal chat with Abbie with no other purpose. Azalea then started to stay silent when the police questioned her again and insisted on hiring a lawyer.
The police couldn’t force Azalea to say anything when they saw how determined she was to stay silent, so they had to inform Meadow according to Azalea’s request.
Meadow was shocked when she heard that Azalea had been taken to the police station by the police. She hurried told Wayne, “Azalea has been taken away by the police and she’s is in the police station now. Dad, what should we do now?”
“Inform the Floyd family immediately.” Wayne instructed Meadow.
“Dad, is that a wise decision?” Meadow felt that this was a good opportunity to take credit for the Floyd family.
“Since we’re here, we can bail Azalea out as soon as possible if anything happens to her. The Floyd family can see our sincerity if we do this. This way, it will be easy for Azalea and Michael to be together in the future.”
Wayne also thought that Meadow was right after he pondered for a moment. It was impossible for the Davis family to give up Azalea like this.
They should be the first to bail Azalea out for the sake of the Floyd family. This would make the Floyd family appreciate them, so they can easily join hands to cooperate or hold an arranged marriage.
Wayne immediately ordered as he thought of this, “Ask the lawyer to bail Azalea out of the police station immediately!”
The Davis family found a famous lawyer and spent one million dollars to bail Azalea out.
Donald and Helen wanted to avenge their daughter, so they became furious when they heard that Azalea was bailed out by the Davis family. They immediately looked for Richard and said, “The Davis family is declaring war with us! Since that’s the case, let’s play along with them and cut off all business dealings with the Davis family. Terminate all the previous cooperation projects. I would rather break the contract and pay the compensation fee than cooperate with the Davis family.”
Richard was also very angry and immediately agreed. “I’ll give the order right away.”
Donald then added, “This is just the first step. Since we have fallen out with the Davis family, then we shouldn’t show any mercy and do our best to suppress them. I want to let them know that we’re not easy to deal with. Even if we both suffer great losses, I will fight the Davis family to the end.”
“Dad, don’t worry. I will arrange it.”
Donald reminded Richard again, “There will be no turning back if we fall out with the Davis family. Richard, I have something to remind you. You have to be on your guard against William and you can’t tell him everything as you did before.”
“Why do I have to put my guard up against William?”
“There are two reasons. First, both of you have been friends with Michael for many years. He won’t stand by and watch as we have a huge feud with the Davis family and he’ll try to mediate the situation. Although Michael didn’t kill Abbie, this all happened because of him. We can never accept this and we must avenge Abbie!”
Donald took a deep breath and said, “The second reason is because of Azalea. Our purpose is not only to deal with the Davis family, but also to bring Azalea to justice for the murder she committed. The Floyd family will definitely take action when we deal with her. At that time, William will definitely choose to stand with the Floyd family.”
Richard smiled faintly and said after Donald finished speaking, “Dad, there are two reasons that you are worried about and I agree with your first reason. William, Michael, and I have always been on good terms, so William definitely doesn’t want to see us fight. He will definitely try his best to persuade us. But you don’t have to worry about the second reason at all. William will never help Azalea, nor will the Floyd family.”
Donald showed a suspicious expression on his face when he saw that Richard was so sure. “Why?”
“Because Azalea has nothing to do with the Floyd family. She was just an abandoned baby and an impostor.”
“Is that so? This means that the Floyd family won’t stand up for Azalea and this matter will be easier to deal with. Even if the Davis family can bail Azalea out, they can’t keep her safe forever. I have a way to make her pay for her crimes!”
Richard sneered and said, “Dad, I have a better way to deal with the Davis family besides destroying their business.”
“Tell me about it.”
“You should know why Meadow treasures Azalea so much. Meadow and Madelyn were close friends in the past. She knew that Madelyn had secretly exchanged her daughter with the real daughter of the Floyd family, so she had always regarded Azalea as the true heiress. She doesn’t like Azalea at all and her goal is to get the assets of the Floyd family. If Michael ended up marrying Azalea, he would inherit the assets of the Floyd family as well. Since Meadow is thinking about this, why don’t we help her?”
Donald instantly understood what Richard meant. “Do you mean we should let Azalea go temporarily and let her marry into the Davis family? You can reveal Azalea’s identity after that and let the Davis family know the truth. They’ll definitely be extremely upset by then.”
“Yes. It would be best if Azalea could give birth to Michael’s children after she becomes a part of his family. Then, the Davis family would be turned upside down after we announce the truth.”
Richard liked to strike the core of his enemy. Meadow was not a good person and she didn’t actually like Azalea. The reason why she thought so highly of Azalea was just for the Floyd family’s inheritance.
When the time came, he would reveal the truth after Meadow asked Michael to marry Azalea. Meadow would go crazy once she found out that she had put in so much effort and forced her beloved son to marry a nobody.
Meadow’s attitude toward Abbie was very bad and she even insulted Helen. Of course, Richard had to teach her a lesson.
“Your idea is very good, but your plan doesn’t only involve us and it requires the help of the Floyd family. We need them to keep Azalea’s identity a secret for now, so that it will be easier for us to carry out our plan.”
“Leave this matter to me. I will arrange everything accordingly.”
“Are you going to beg William? He is in a dilemma because he’s stuck between you and Michael. I don’t think he will help you.”
“I’m not going to ask William, I’ll have another person in mind.”
Donald was extremely curious. “Who else can you ask?”
Richard said lightly, “The real daughter of the Floyd family!”
