Seeing hope, Azalea immediately said eagerly, “Michael, I can persuade my father to cooperate with the Davis family, so that their business can be promoted and the Davis family can advance. I can also ask my father to give me shares and dowry.”
“What does it have to do with the Davis family’s promotion? Are you trying to please my grandpa and my mother? They want to make money for generations to come, but I don’t like it. I want the Davis family to close down and let my grandfather and mother become homeless criminals! As for the shares and dowry you mentioned, hah! Are you shameless? Only the real daughter of the Gurney family has shares, so keep dreaming for an illegitimate daughter like you. Well, I have enough money now, so why do I need that much money for?”
Michael was stubborn. He hated Wayne and Meadow, and was not interested in the development of money and company at all. Azalea felt a lot of pressure.
How could there be anyone in the world who didn’t like money and life? It was impossible that Michael didn’t like money, and she wouldn’t believe it no matter what. “Michael, I know you hate your grandfather and mother and that you don’t want to see the Davis family flourish. In this case, you can think of another way. With the help of the Gurney family, you can control the Davis family in your own hands, leaving your grandfather nothing.”
“Who taught you this? Francis?” Michael sneered.
“Do I look like such a silly person who would fucking believe anything you say? Pft, help me control the Davis family? That’s just trying to scam me. Besides, are you sure that the cooperation between the Gurney and the Davis family would confirm the benefit of the Davis family? Is the Gurney family so stupid? I think Francis has other plans, right? He asked you to come to me, didn’t he? He wants to tie me up with an illegitimate daughter. Hah! Where did he get this gut? Fucking old hag!”
Michael scolded Francis and Azalea looked embarrassment. Michael saw through Francis’s purpose at a glance and did not give face at all. It was impossible for her to lure Michael with the Gurney family at this point.
Azalea knew that she couldn’t fail to persuade Michael. Although she was the illegitimate daughter of Francis, she had no status at all and had no feelings with Francis. Francis only treated her kindly because of their blood ties.
If she wanted to gain a firm foothold and impress Francis, she had to draw Michael over to her side.
Michael had no interest in expanding the Davis family, money, nor feelings for her. Of course, he had no feelings for the child in her belly as well. How could she persuade Michael?
Seeing that Azalea’s face was in a mess and her face was bruised, Michael turned around in disgust. “Since you can’t give me a good reason, then prepare for the operation.”
Hearing this, Azalea’s heart skipped a beat. “Michael, wait a minute. I still have something to say.”
Michael turned his head and looked at Azalea coldly. She suddenly remembered what Michael had repeatedly said to her, that the existence of her and the child was to disgust Michael and Meadow.
Azalea immediately had an idea. “Michael, don’t you want to continue to disgust your grandfather and mother?”
“How?”
“I’ve thought about it. Your grandfather and mother are snobbish. Seeing that my status has changed, they will definitely change their attitude towards me. But I will never associate with them so if you marry me, I can rely on my status as a young lady of the Gurney family to trigger them with harsh words. It will make the Davis family restless and make them suffer everyday.”
Michael stared at Azalea for a while and said, “This reason is not enough for me to marry you.”
“I… Then you don’t marry me. We can maintain our current relationship. As long as I can give birth to the child and stay in the Davis family, then all is fine.”
Michael laughed silently. “Okay, then it depends on your performance in the future! First of all, if you can’t gross my grandfather and mother out these days, you will also have to get out of here!” Michael said and left without stopping. Azalea watched his back disappear. When she could no longer hear the footsteps, she immediately called Francis.
“I was beaten and I’m in the hospital now.”
Francis was very surprised. “How could this be? Are you okay?” Who hit you? Is it Michael?”
“It’s not Michael, it’s a relative of the Clark family. That woman assaulted me because of Abbie, so my face is swollen.”
“Seriously? Is there anything wrong with the child?” Francis asked again.
“The child is fine. At that time, Michael was there to stop the woman. I pretended to be uncomfortable and Michael sent me to the hospital. I bribed the doctor and asked the doctor to tell him that I was seriously injured. I also told him my identity.”
“Then?”
“His current attitude is not clear, and he is still partial to the Clark family. He doesn’t want to join hands with you.” Azalea did not hide anything from Francis.
“He actually treated you like this? This is too much!” Francis was very angry and said.
“I can understand Michael’s attitude. I hate the woman who beat me the most. She is too arrogant and she even slapped me in public. If I don’t punish her, I will be embarrassed for life!”
Francis knew the reason when he heard that it was someone from the Clark family who had hit Azalea. Of course, he did not want to confront them head-on. However, he had vowed to protect Azalea and not allow her to suffer. If he did not make an appearance, it would be difficult to justify himself.
Therefore, he had to help Azalea with this matter. “Don’t worry, I’ll get defend you. I’ll come to the hospital right away.”
“You don’t have to come to the hospital. Listen to me, I suddenly have a plan that can make Michael surrender and punish the Clark family at the same time.”
“What plan?”
“First, call the police to deal with this matter, and then you ask someone to expose it. I am in the hospital now, and my face looks very scary. I am pregnant, and people will sympathize with me if I am beaten up. You just need to make a little noise and help me lead the media. The direction of this matter will be completely different.”
Francis immediately understood what Azalea meant. “You want to use public opinion to deal with the Clark family?”
“Yes, Michael still feels guilty for them. I want to control this matter through public opinion. At that time, I will force them to lower their heads and apologize. The Clark family will never lower their heads and apologize, so they will definitely fight me to the end. At that time, it will not be easy to deal with Michael, and he will definitely beg me to let go of the Clark family. At that time, I can take advantage of the situation and make demands to Michael. Michael will definitely agree for the sake of the Clark family.”
Azalea took a deep breath. “When the Clark family sees that the public opinion has expanded, they won’t know if you are helping me. They will think that Michael is against them. Then they will definitely hate Michael to the core. In this way, Michael will be tied with us and will never be able to get rid of us.”
Francis was very satisfied with Azalea’s plan. “Alright, I understand. I’ll arrange it now!”
