Hearing Michael insulting Azalea in front of Anastasia, Azalea’s face was flushed red and pale at the same time as she felt extremely embarrassed.
She couldn’t do anything to Michael, so she could only glare at Anastasia fiercely. Anastasia looked at Azalea with a smile and said, “Miss Clark, didn’t you hear what Michael said? You’re from the Gurney family, so you should go back there. Why are you here in Michael’s house? You’re ruining Michael’s reputation for no reason. Hey, did you order the tabloids to write those gossip yourself? Do you want to use them to force Michael to marry you?”
“Does she think I would marry her because of some sh*tty news? Is she out of her mind? Or are the people behind this out of their minds?” Michael sneered.
Azalea blushed and immediately denied it. “What nonsense are you spouting? I don’t even know how this got out.”
“Since you didn’t spread it out, why don’t you clarify it?”
Anastasia said aggressively, “As long as you, Miss Clark, say that you don’t want to marry Michael at all, the news will soon disappear, won’t they?”
“Yes, just go clarify it. I didn’t want to marry you, and you won’t marry me. Go tell the media that. There are many reporters outside right now. I’ll ask the servants to push you out to clarify!” Michael also took over.
How could Azalea clarify it? She instantly fell silent. Seeing this, Anastasia teased her. “You don’t dare, do you? You’re still saying that this has nothing to do with you. Do you think everyone here is a fool? You’re a literal b*tch!”
Michael frowned slightly when he heard Anastasia’s harsh words. Although he didn’t like Azalea, who did Anastasia think she was, talking like that in his house? He was unhappy and said coldly, “That’s enough.”
However, Anastasia didn’t feel embarrassed at all and leaned against Michael as she said sweetly. “Michael, I’m a little tired. I want to take a shower and rest.”
“Oh, you’re tired? Okay! Let’s go upstairs and rest!” Michael stretched and stood up.
Seeing that Michael was about to head upstairs with Anastasia, Wayne immediately blew his beard and glared at him. “What do you think you’re doing? What does this look like, Michael? Are you shameless?”
“Why should I care? Who cares about that in the house? Grandpa, do you? Or does my mother? Or the illegitimate daughter of the Gurney family?”
Michael pointed at Wayne, then Meadow… Azalea… and asked one by one.
No one answered him, and everyone’s face darkened.
Michael sneered. “See, you have nothing to say, right? Since everyone is shameless, what else is there to say? Let’s go upstairs!”
Then, he got up, and Anastasia immediately followed him closely. Seeing Michael taking Anastasia to the stairs, Azalea was filled with hatred and anger. She looked at Wayne and Meadow for help desperately.
She had hoped that the two could stop him, but Wayne didn’t say a word, and neither did Meadow.
Azalea was so angry that she gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly as she watched Michael take Anastasia upstairs helplessly. She was so angry that her eyes were bulging and her whole body was shaking. She watched as Michael had already taken Anastasia to the second floor.
Suddenly, Azalea shouted angrily, “Wait a minute. I have something to tell you, Michael!”
Michael looked down at her. “Whatever it is, hurry up!”
“I want to talk to you alone.”
“How could you be so shameless? You’re just an illegitimate daughter, a nobody. Do you really think I would take you seriously?”
After Michael insulted Azalea, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the phone before answering it and said in a strange voice, “Mr. Gurney? Good evening!”
“Michael, I have something to tell you. Can we meet?”
“Now?” Michael asked playfully.
“Yes, now!”
“I’m a little tired now. If it isn’t important, can it wait till tomorrow?” Michael didn’t care if it offended Francis.
“It’s very important. You’ll know when you come.”
“Is that so? Then let’s meet!” Michael hung up the phone and looked at Anastasia. “Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.”
Anastasia nodded obediently. “Come back soon!”
Meanwhile, in Wolf Group Hotel, Leonard crossed his legs and read Michael’s news gleefully on a tablet. He laughed as he read. “I have to say, Michael really is something. Francis forced him like this, but he didn’t hesitate to slap Francis in the face. Francis must have never dreamed that Michael would do this to him. He must be so pissed! This is absolutely interesting! It’s like a drama!”
His assistant said, “He’s basically just ruining his reputation now. Michael’s reputation was so good before, but now it has been ruined!”
“I always thought that men would only do anything for their career, but I didn’t expect that they would do anything for women too. Abbie ruined the rest of Michael’s life!”
“Yes, since Abbie’s accident, what Michael has done has become more and more ridiculous. I guess he must be living a life worse than death now! It’s quite pitiful!”
“What’s there to pity? He’s incompetent! If it were me…” Leonard looked up at his assistant with a cold smile. “If it were me, this matter wouldn’t be difficult at all. He had dealt with the culprit, Azalea before, so who else would dare mess around between him and Abbie? Michael is just too soft-hearted. A man can’t achieve great things with a soft heart!”
The assistant smiled awkwardly. “Michael is a lawyer. I don’t think he’s capable of doing bad things.”
“That’s why he deserves all this now! He doesn’t deserve any sympathy at all!” Leonard chuckled. “What do you think he will do after I control Abbie, marry her, and let Michael watch her return intact?”
“He… he would go crazy, right?”
“That’s right! If Michael went crazy, Richard will be in a dilemma too. By then, I can deal with William easily!”
“Mr. Floyd, William isn’t that easy to deal with. You’d better be careful.”
“William wasn’t easy to deal with in the past. There wasn’t a soft spot in him at all, but now it’s completely different. He has a wife he loves a lot and a pair of precious twins. It’s bad to have this many soft spots!”
Leonard laughed as he spoke as his phone rang suddenly. He glanced at the number and immediately picked it up. “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Floyd, bad news. Miss Clark fainted!”
Leonard raised his voice. “Fainted? Why did she faint? Did you call a doctor?”
“Yes, but the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with her. Miss Clark has been in a coma since then. What should we do now?”
“Send her to the hospital! Why are you asking me such a dumb question? Are you an idiot?” Leonard said angrily.
“I… Mr. Floyd, Miss Clark was fine before. I followed your instructions and made her take… that medicine. She fainted not long after. Could it be because of that drug?”
Leonard suddenly recalled something when he heard that. “That shouldn’t be the case. This has never happened before. Get someone to send her to the hospital! I’m on my way!”
