Michael said with a smile when everyone else left the living room, “Grandpa, do you know? Richard arranged for someone to praise you and my mother just now.”
“What do you mean?” Wayne knew that it wasn’t anything good when he heard this.
“Let me make a simple summary. Richard spread the news of Azalea’s pregnancy. He praised you and my mother for being kind-hearted because both of you didn’t care about Azalea’s background. He said that you could accept someone as questionable as Azalea to be the daughter-in-law of the Davis family.”
“He’s talking nonsense! How can Richard be so unreasonable?” Wayne said angrily, “I’ll arrange for a lawyer to write an official letter to hold Richard accountable.”
“What right do you have to do that? When Azalea was pregnant, you and my mother went to the hospital to visit her openly and you even arranged servants to serve her. Richard even took photos of Mom taking Azalea to carry out the examination. You can continue questioning Richard if you want to be even more humiliated.”
“Then I’ll say that this is a misunderstanding! Can’t I clarify it?” Wayne said resentfully. Richard’s announcement caught him unprepared and he also wanted to save his pride.
“I’m afraid not! Richard released this news in advance because he wanted you to clarify it. As long as you do that, he will release the truth that you and my mother thought that Azalea was an heiress. This will cause a ruckus! Everyone knows why you are doing this for such a vile person like Azalea. Your greediness will be exposed and your name will be completely tarnished! Do you want to be humiliated like this?”
“You!” Wayne was so angry that his chin trembled.
Michael looked at Wayne with a smile. “Grandpa, do you have a way to deal with it? If not, I can give you an idea!”
“What trick? It’s absolutely impossible for you to marry Azalea!”
“Let Azalea give birth!”
“Impossible! Will you still have a future like this? You will be ruined if you got involved with such a terrible person!”
Wayne shook his head and disagreed. He had always looked down on Azalea, but he had lowered his requirements because he had his eyes on the assets of the Floyd family. Now that he knew that Azalea was a nobody, he openly showed his disgust towards her.
“Destroyed? Didn’t you think that I would be ruined when you carried out your schemes? Didn’t you think about the consequences when you supported Azalea to kill Abbie viciously? What goes around will always come around, so you should bear your own sins.”
Michael emphasized, “I won’t beat around the bush with you and I will definitely let Azalea give birth to the baby.”
“I will never let that happen! Michael, you can’t protect Azalea. Even if you put your guard up, I will kill the baby in Azalea’s belly at all costs.”
Michael looked at the cruelty on Wayne’s face and laughed. “You are indeed a person who does great things! You’re unbelievably vicious!”
“I don’t care about what you say about me, but there’s no turning back in Azalea’s matter!”
“Aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed?” Michael raised his eyebrows and asked, “Richard is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. Think about it! Not only that, but I will also add fuel to the fire. I have saved a video of how Mom has treated Azalea before and after the truth has been revealed. Aren’t you afraid that I will spread it out and make you humiliated for the rest of your life?”
“I’ve made up my mind. If it’s embarrassing, then so be it! Anyway, I’ve already lost all of my pride because of this and I don’t care who knows about this. I won’t pretend to put on an act anymore. You can do whatever you want, but I won’t let the child in Azalea’s belly live.”
Wayne looked determined and Michael looked at him for a moment. He knew Wayne’s character very well. Since he had said so, he should be going all out.
“Well! I have my own stance. It doesn’t matter if you are shameless or not and I don’t care about your pride. I have another decision to tell you!”
“What decision?” Wayne felt that Michael still had something big up his sleeves and he felt a little nervous.
“Let me tell you something. My heart died along with Abbie and I will never have another child ever again. Your lineage will end if you let Azalea have a miscarriage! I don’t care!”
“You! Don’t you have a mistress outside?” Wayne didn’t believe that Michael would be so faithful.
“Yes, but she’s just a tool for me to solve my needs. I am a man and I have my own needs. I’ll always need a woman to satisfy me, but I don’t need a child!”
“Michael, are you serious?”
“Of course! Do you think I’m joking with you? I’m not afraid to tell you that the reason why I made Azalea give birth to this child was to disgust you. All of you are accomplices who caused Abbie’s death, but I have no way of killing you to avenge her death. That’s why I chose this method. I want you to see Azalea and her child every day as a reminder of all the disgusting things that you’ve done before. I’ll make you suffer for your entire life. That’s all!”
Michael looked at Wayne’s complicated expression and continued, “You can kill this child because I don’t care at all. I have no feelings for Azalea, and I have no feelings for the child in her belly. Anyway, I will never have a child with another woman except for Abbie! Never in my life!”
Wayne was still thinking about the authenticity of Michael’s words and he knew that Michael could definitely do such a thing.
If he killed Azalea’s baby now, the price he would have to pay was that Michael would never have another child again. This price was too high.
Wayne didn’t dare to gamble. After all, Michael saw him and Meadow as enemies. The only reason that Michael helped Azalea was to go against him.
He thought for a while in his heart and finally made a decision. “The child can be born, but you can’t marry Azalea!”
“Hm? You’re thinking too much! I have no interest in Azalea other than letting her child torture you. You can do whatever you want as long as you don’t kill the child and I’ll be more than happy by then!”
Wayne looked at Michael with a gloomy face, but Michael didn’t care about his reaction at all and stood up with a smile. “Well, it’s over and I should go now. I’ll leave her to you now and you can do as you see fit!”
Wayne’s lips trembled when he saw Michael walking out, but he couldn’t say anything.
Michael walked to the door of the living room and suddenly stopped. Then, he turned to look at Wayne and said, “By the way, I have something to remind you!”
“What?”
“My mom is very shameless and vicious. I think she’s out now to buy the abortion medicine to deal with, so you’d better remind her. Of course, it’s okay if you don’t as well! Anyway, I don’t care!”
Michael strode away after he said that. Just as Wayne heard the diminishing footsteps, he couldn’t bear it anymore and smashed the cup in front of him to the ground.
