Chapter 1579 Full of Schemes

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

The assistant jumped in fright after hearing Leonard’s words. “Are you going to give her… a medicine for her to lose her memory?”
“What else is there? I did not make such a fuss to save her merely out of kindness. I just thought that if I did save her, she’ll obey me and help me persuade Richard. I would be her savior, and by the time comes for me to be against William, Richard would not interfere because I saved his sister’s life. That way, my chances of winning would be much higher, wouldn’t it?”
Only then did the assistant know why Leonard had saved Abbie. Leonard was indeed full of schemes! The assistant reminded Leonard, “But this drug is very harmful to the body. Miss Clark hasn’t recovered yet. What if something happens to her after she takes it?”
“I’ve already considered this. I have a way to let her take the drug and ensure that she won’t get hurt at the same time.”
The assistant was surprised when he heard this. “Is there such a drug?”
“Yes, I met an expert from Kenoland. He once demonstrated how to use it properly to me. Not only can this medicine can make people lose their memory, but you can make them obey you too.”
The assistant was stunned. “That is, if you get your hands on such a drug and give it to the person you want to control, you won’t have to move a single muscle to get what you want.”
“That’s right. However, there aren’t enough materials for the drug. It is rumored that it has already gone extinct. Back then, I spent a high price to get two tablets, and one of them has already been used up. Right now, I plan to use the other one on Abbie.”
“Mr. Floyd, if this drug is that powerful, I think it will be a waste to use it on Abbie. It’s better to give it directly to William or someone from the Floyd family. That way, you can solve your problems once and for all.”
“Of course, I want to do that too, but it’s impossible to use it on the Floyd family or William. If I fail, I will have nothing left. I can only choose someone easy to succeed.”
Leonard did not tell his assistant the whole truth, though. He had actually spent a fortune to get his hands on a total of ten pills instead and was trying to use it on the Floyd family and William.
However, he had spent all of his nine pills, and they all failed because of various reasons.
He didn’t dare risk his final pill. Therefore, since Abbie was currently under his control, she was the most suitable candidate.
“The drug can make people lose their memories and be controlled. I plan to give it to Abbie. If I can control her, then things will be different.”
Leonard narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Abbie and Valeria are best friends, but when I go against William, Abbie will side with me when she loses her memories. I bet Valeria’s reaction would be wonderful, wouldn’t it? Who would she choose? Her husband or her friend who is as close as a sister?”
The manor’s morning air was fresh, and meanwhile, Abbie was walking slowly along its path.
As she walked, she was lost in thought. After Leonard left, she had tried to go out, but the servants and bodyguards kept a strict watch on her. She could only walk freely inside the manor, and whenever she went out, she would be accompanied closely by several men.
Even inside the manor, there were cameras everywhere except for the bedroom. Even so, Abbie had suspected that Leonard had installed cameras in her bedroom too.
Living without any privacy like this was too horrifying. Abbie had suspected Leonard’s motives before, and now she was even more suspicious of him.
He saved her not because he was kind, but because he had a purpose.
She looked around, and when she did not find anyone following her, she took out her mobile phone and leaned against a tree while pulling up a website.
The first thing she saw was that Azalea and Michael were about to get married, which was all over the news.
Abbie continued to read them one by one and learned that the two were about to hold their wedding in the Maldives. She saw a custom-made diamond ring and wedding dress, as well as a sea view bridal chamber prepared by Michael.
She didn’t love Michael and didn’t hate him either. She was just confused. Michael seemed in love with Azalea judging from him making a huge scene.
Since Azalea was his true love, why did Michael come to Abbie? During this period of time, Abbie had browsed through the online gossip about herself, Azalea, and Michael.
She didn’t find any trace of a romantic relationship between her and Michael, and instead, she found that many were about Michael and Azalea being true love.
If Azalea and Michael loved each other so much, then what did she have to do in all of this? Could she be Michael and Azalea’s third wheel?
Since they loved each other so much, then her intervention would not pose any threat to Michael and Azalea. If so, what reason did Azalea have to harm her? Could it be that the news about Azalea having harmed her was actually Leonard’s doing?
This man was powerful enough, so it was possible for him to deceive the truth and fool her.
As Abbie thought about this, she heard footsteps behind her. She put her phone away and turned her head, only to see a servant who took care of her coming from behind with a cup in her hand.
When the servant saw Abbie, she flashed a kind and warm smile. “Miss Clark, you forgot to take your medicine this morning.”
Abbie frowned. “I feel much better now. You can stop feeding me medicine.”
“Mr. Floyd has given orders, You are in poor health, so you must not forget to take this medicine. Your body will recover quickly if you do. Please take the medicine, Miss Clark.” The servant handed the cup and pills to Abbie as she said this.
Abbie took a deep breath, accepted the pill, and swallowed it in front of the servant.
Seeing that she had taken the medicine, the servant heaved a sigh of relief. “Miss Clark, you’ve been out for an hour. You’d better go back and have a rest.”
Abbie turned her down. “I’m not tired. I want to walk around!”
“Miss Clark, for your health’s sake, please listen to our advice. You are very important to Mr. Floyd. If anything happens to you, we will be punished.”
Abbie stared at the servant for a few seconds, but she had no intention of backing down.
She knew that she had no reason to argue with the servant. They only obeyed Leonard’s orders, so she turned around slowly while the servant followed behind Abbie.
Abbie walked very slowly, and the servant didn’t dare urge her either. The two of them walked back one after the other.
Halfway through, Abbie suddenly stopped, and the servant noticed that there was something wrong with her expression. “Miss Clark, is something wrong?”
“My head hurts…” Abbie reached out her fingers to press on her temples, a pained expression on her face.
“Why did your head hurt suddenly? Are you sick?” The servant reached out to steady Abbie. “I’ll help you to a doctor.”
Abbie was in so much pain that she was sweating, while the servant was supporting her as she walked back. The servant held Abbie with one hand and held her mobile phone with the other. “Miss Clark has a headache. Call a doctor to check up on her immediately.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Abbie, who she was supporting, scream, “It hurts so much!”
The servant jumped in fright at this. When she looked at Abbie’s face, she saw that Abbie was sweating profusely and had already fainted.
