Valeria blew the fuse and hurled abuses at Michael.
Michael lowered his head as he listened to Valeria’s swearing without saying a word. Meanwhile, William smiled bitterly and tried to calm her down.
She refused to listen to him no matter how hard he tried to persuade her. She chased Michael away and threw the flowers out as well.
William wanted to go with Michael, but Valeria stopped him. “William, I’m not kidding. To be honest, you can only choose one of us! It’s either me or Michael!”
“I understand! I won’t choose Michael. I want you! Honey, you’re the most important person to me!” William held Valeria in his arms. “Let the anger go! Look at you, you are trembling because of the anger. Do you have to go to such lengths?”
“It’s because that scumbag, Michael, pisses me off, isn’t it? How dare he be so shameless? Abbie has just died not long ago yet he already plans to marry Azalea. Does he even have a conscience? Perhaps he never truly loves Abbie before, does he?”
“Darling, it’s his business so we shouldn’t worry about it. First, you need to calm down! I’ll help you to the bed so that you can lie down!”
Valeria was carried back to bed by William while she was fuming in anger. She was still angry once she thought about it. “Hand me your phone!”
“What do you want to do? You can’t scroll through a mobile phone when you’ve just given birth.”
“I’m not going to look at social media. Instead, I’m deleting the contact number of that scumbag from your mobile phone! From now on, you can’t contact him anymore. If I ever find out that you go against my wishes, you’re dead beat!”
“Darling, this isn’t what you think. Michael does love Abbie. He doesn’t love Azalea at all…”
“Stop right there! If you speak for that scumbag again, you can take your laptop and get lost immediately. I don’t want you here!”
William didn’t dare to utter another word. The most important thing to him was his wife and children. He wasn’t so stupid that he couldn’t get his priorities right.
Therefore, he handed over his phone obediently. Valeria found Michael’s contact information and blacklisted him immediately. Then she gave the phone back to William.
He took the phone and smiled grovelingly. “Darling, do you want something to eat? Why don’t I prepare it for you?”
“What’s there to eat? I’m full of anger already! Besides, you’re always asking me to eat. Do you think I’m not plump enough?” Valeria looked at her waist and abdomen that had grown fatter due to the pregnancy gloomily.
“I don’t mind how you look. My wife is beautiful no matter how she is!”
“Go away! Your honey-coated words are useless against me. I know my own attractiveness. Although your words are sweet, I’m sure you’re complaining about my fat body inwardly.” Valeria lay down on the bed gloomily. “I’m going to hire a personal trainer and exercise hard.”
“Now is not the time to exercise yet. You know this, right? It’s still too soon after you gave birth. Why don’t you think about losing weight after a longer period?”
“Humph, so much for saying that you don’t mind me being fat. Didn’t you tell me to lose weight as well now? You think I’m too fat, don’t you? Such a dishonest liar!” Valeria said as she turned her back to him.
William looked dispirited. It seemed that he had dug his own grave by talking too much, hadn’t he?
After Azalea and Meadow went back to the Davis family, Meadow arranged for the servants to prepare a room for Azalea joyfully.
Wayne sat in the living room and said lightly, “Miss Clark, you’ve left home for so long. Why don’t you go back to the Floyd family for a visit?”
Azalea’s face went stiff. Was Wayne chasing her away?
She did want to go back and live in the Floyd family, but the Floyd family’s villa was a treacherous place. She would be forced to study by Deborah daily after going back. She really couldn’t stand the rule of that family.
Meadow knew what Azalea was afraid of, so she tried to smooth things over instantly with a smile. “Azalea did want to go back, but I invited her to stay. I’m a little worried about Michael these days, so I want her to accompany him here for a while.”
“It’s okay for you to live here, but you have to go home once in a while, don’t you? You’ve been away from home for a while, so don’t you miss your grandparents and parents? Even if you don’t miss them, they must have missed you very much, right?”
Azalea’s face flushed a deep red. During the time she spent abroad, she had been trying her best to plot against Abbie. For example, ways to get rid of Abbie. How could she have the time to miss her grandparents and parents?
As for whether her grandparents and parents missed her, she didn’t seem to have crossed their minds at all. It was basically impossible for her call to get through to Emily and Callum. Plus, they had never taken the initiative to call her as well, not to mention Fandrey and Deborah.
As Wayne looked at Azalea’s blushing face, he frowned slightly. Why did he have a feeling that Azalea was not reliable at all?
Naturally, the company of the Davis family was not at the end of its rope. They only took the earlier actions to force Michael to break up with Abbie so that he could be together with Azalea.
The cooperation with the Floyd family was also requested by Wayne as an act. However, his ultimate goal was not just to put on a show. What he was aiming for was genuine cooperation with the Floyd family.
He wanted the Floyd family to dote on Azalea as if she was the apple of their eyes. Because they loved Azalea, they would grow fond of Michael too. In the end, they would hand the business of the Floyd family to Michael.
However, during this period of time, the Floyd family did not contact the Davis family at all. He did everything he could to bail Azalea out, but the Floyd family did not bother to give any response.
Moreover, he noticed that during the period when Azalea stayed in the Davis family, the Floyd family had never called to express their concern for her.
This was indeed strange. Any other family would definitely treasure their long-lost children like precious treasures when they found them. How could the Floyd family be different from the others?
It was unbelievable that they didn’t care about Azalea at all.
Michael always felt that the Floyd family was even nicer to William and Valeria than they were to Azalea.
Could it be that the Floyd family had never considered Azalea as their heir at all?
After all, with such a powerful business prodigy like William with them, it would be the best option for Fandrey and Callum to hand over the company to William.
At the thought of this, Wayne was not in a good mood at all. He had made an enemy of the Clark family because of Azalea. If he could not take over the Floyd family, what purpose would his earlier actions serve?
Wayne only agreed to Azalea and Michael’s relationship because of the Floyd family. If Azalea was nothing to the Floyd family, then what was the point of this marriage?
Wayne felt that the most urgent matter right now was to figure out the Floyd family’s attitude toward Azalea. “Your grandparents must miss you very much. Miss Clark, you’d better go home and visit them. Bring some gifts to your grandparents and parents. I’ve got all the gifts ready. Just go home and keep your grandparents company for a few days. The Davis family is your home too. You can come back at any time if you wish.”
At this point, there was no reason at all for Azalea to stay. She had to pack her bags as she allowed herself to be sent to the Floyd family by Wayne, who had ordered the driver to do so.
Wayne had prepared a lot of gifts. The driver took the gifts to the trunk and invited Azalea to board the car. She sat in the back gloomily as she was extremely upset.
Deborah would definitely nag when she went back this time. Most importantly, she was terrified of the teacher that was hired by the Floyd family to teach her about etiquettes.
Azalea did not want to experience the previous suffering once again, but she had no choice but to go back. She was well aware that Wayne had changed his attitude toward her because of only one reason. It was due to the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Floyd family.
The car stopped outside the villa of the Floyd family. Azalea made sure that she was presentable before she pressed on the doorbell.
