After finishing his words, Michael strode away. Wayne was left enraged, while Meadow was disappointed at her son’s behavior. Azalea, on the other hand, was humiliated.
Azalea didn’t expect her scandals to be exposed like this. As she couldn’t admit them, she started crying as if she was innocent and wronged.
“Michael… How could Michael insult me like this? What did I do wrong? I’m too ashamed to face anyone! Let me die!”
Azalea then pretended to hit her head against the wall. Meadow would not allow her to do so, so she held on to Azalea tightly. “Azalea, don’t be a fool!”
Wayne also tried to persuade her. “That bastard Michael says things as he pleases. Don’t take his words to heart.”
Meadow also felt that Michael was out of his mind. It must be because Michael was furious after sleeping with Azalea, so he said such words to upset her.
Meadow comforted Azalea in a soft voice, “Azalea, don’t be angry! Michael is not yet sober from drinking too much, and what he said was nonsense. Don’t mind him. Wayne and I will surely take this matter into our hands and help you!”
Azalea sobbed so hard that she couldn’t catch her breath. Of course, this was part of her acting. Azalea was actually thinking straight.
The main reason why Meadow and Wayne rushed to comfort her was because of her identity. She was the eldest daughter of the Floyd family and had the Floyd family behind her. Both Meadow and Wayne had their eyes on the Floyd family’s fortune. That was why they tolerated her.
Of course, the other reason was she had portrayed a good image, and the deeds she did were all in secret. Few people knew of her true colors, and to those who didn’t know, she had a good reputation.
She absolutely could not let Meadow and Wayne find out about her dirty deeds.
If Meadow and Wayne were to find out that she had done things like sleeping with directors and producers to get resources, what would they think of her? They would surely come to dislike her. No mother would ever allow her son to marry a tramp.
Even if Azalea had the Floyd family supporting her, Meadow would still dislike her. So before Michael could show Meadow and Wayne the evidence of her past deeds, she needed to deal with Michael.
After crying for a while, Meadow sent Azalea back to her room. Meadow found Azalea a towel for her to wipe her face, and while Azalea wiped her face, she didn’t forget to explain herself. “Aunt Meadow, Michael has a misunderstanding towards me. I was drunk tonight, and I don’t remember what I did. I’m not the kind of person he says I am…”
Meadow naturally did not believe that Azalea was that kind of woman. She comforted her in a gentle voice, “I know you are a good child! Michael’s heart is blinded, and he has been spouting nonsense. Rest assured. Since he made a move on you tonight, I would surely get him to give you an explanation. My daughter-in-law in the Davis family could only be you!”
Azalea felt much at ease after hearing Meadow’s words. “Thank you, Aunt Meadow! You’re so kind to me! It’s just that this is between Michael and me, and there are too many misunderstandings between us. You shouldn’t get involved for now. Let me make things clear with Michael.”
“Now? I’m afraid he won’t give you a chance. Michael is too stubborn.”
“Since we have come this far, I need to talk to him and dispel any misconceptions he has on me. If that doesn’t work, I will then ask for your help.”
Seeing that Azalea insisted on talking to Michael, Meadow had no choice but to agree.
Meadow then went and knocked on Michael’s door. “Michael, open the door!”
“What do you want?” Michael opened the door and looked at Meadow as he leaned against the door.
“Azalea wants to talk to you!”
“Talk? Okay! Let’s talk!” Michael looked at Azalea, who was standing behind Meadow, skeptically. “Let’s talk in the study!”
The two of them then went to the study one after the other. Michael sat down on a chair beside the desk while Azalea locked the door first before walking over to him.
Michael’s smile became wider when he saw her lock the door. “Are you afraid that outsiders will know what we are going to talk about?”
“Michael, I was drunk tonight. I don’t know…”
“That’s enough. Don’t even mention what happened tonight. Let me tell you this. Even if I sleep with you a hundred times, I will not marry a tramp like you. Am I understood?”
Azalea’s face turned red. Since Michael had made himself clear, she did not hold on to her wishful thinking anymore. She could only tell Michael the truth. “Michael, I know you don’t like me. Or should I say you hate me? But Aunt Meadow and Grandpa Wayne are different from you. They like me very much and desperately want me to marry you. Do you know the reason why?”
Michael sneered. “I don’t! What’s the reason?”
“The reason is because of my identity. Didn’t I tell you? I’m not Madelyn’s daughter. My birth mother is Emily, and my birth father is Callum. I am the eldest daughter of the Floyd family! This is the truth!”
Azalea took a deep breath. “I told you this last time. You didn’t believe me and even thought that I was delusional. Michael, this is not my fantasy. I am truly the eldest daughter of the Floyd family. Madelyn took me away from my birth mother, while Angel is the one who is Madelyn’s daughter. Aunt Meadow was friends with Madelyn, so she was much aware of what Madelyn did. As Aunt Meadow knew of my identity since I was a child, she wanted me to marry you even from the start.”
“Are you saying my mother has planned for you to marry me from the start?”
“Yes! That’s right! Aunt Meadow and Grandpa Wayne are forcing you to marry me because they know I am the eldest daughter of the Floyd family. They want the support of the Floyd family. Even more importantly, I am the only child of the Floyd family. I will be able to inherit the family’s entire fortune. Since I don’t know how to run a business, if you marry me, the whole of the Floyd family will be in your hands.”
Michael chuckled. “So are you saying that my mother and my grandfather are coveting the Floyd family’s fortune?”
“I’m not saying Aunt Meadow and Grandpa Wayne and coveting the Floyd family’s fortune. I’m only trying to tell you the reason they are asking you to marry me. Michael, I love you so so much! I would do anything to love you! As long as you agree to marry me, I will give you the entire Floyd family’s fortune willingly. Michael, the Floyd family, has a net worth of a trillion dollars. Aren’t you a little intrigued by it?”
