The past few days, whenever Leonard came to see her, he would stare thoughtfully at Abbie’s belly.
Abbie knew what Leonard was thinking. When she first woke up, she had desperately wanted to get rid of this child. Yet after she woke up this time, she never mentioned anything about it. Leonard should be suspecting her by now.
Leonard didn’t want her to keep this child either, did he? Initially, Abbie still hesitated if she should have this child. But now, it seemed that Leonard wanted her to get rid of this child. Of course, she wouldn’t let Leonard get what he wanted.
Abbie pretended not to notice Leonard’s gaze. “Can you do me a favor?”
“Tell me.”
“I want to know what’s going on with Azalea and Michael.”
“Azalea has been pretty quiet recently. She has been living with the Davis family since she was discharged from the hospital. As for Michael, he has been very close to Azalea’s biological father, Francis. There are rumors that Michael and Francis meet up frequently to discuss the marriage between Azalea and Michael.”
“Since Azalea is pregnant, it’s no surprise that they are getting married. Is there any other news besides this?” Abbie asked calmly.
Leonard observed Abbie’s expression closely to spot any change. She was not angry when she heard that Michael was marrying Azalea. Instead, she responded calmly. It seemed like she really had no memory.
After all, she and Michael were emotionally involved. Abbie should be furious and sad, knowing the man she loved was marrying the woman she hated most.
However, Leonard was a person who liked to pretend. He suspected that Abbie was doing the same. So he said, “There’s another piece of news. The Gurney family and the Davis family have begun to discuss their partnership. Each party would invest 50% of the cost to build a large amusement park. It is said that this amusement park is built as a gift to Michael and Azalea’s child.”
Abbie’s heart was bleeding, but she still looked indifferent. “A gift for the child? That’s pretty generous. It seems that Michael likes Azalea’s child very much.”
Leonard didn’t notice anything wrong with Abbie, so he was uncertain. “I don’t know if he likes the child, but there must be benefits. After all, the partnership between the Davis family and the Gurney family can bring them to another level.”
“What do you think Michael and Azalea are most afraid of?” Abbie asked Leonard.
“Of course, Michael is most afraid of losing his position as a super lawyer! He has never made a mistake in court and has won all of his battles. If he loses in the lawsuit, it should be a blow to Michael, right?” Leonard paused and continued.
“As for Azalea, she is most afraid of losing her current glory and wealth. After all, she suddenly turned from an unknown celebrity to a daughter of a prestigious family. With the child in her belly, she will soon become the third daughter-in-law of the Davis family. This new identity of hers is worlds apart from her previous one. If she suddenly loses the child and her current status, she will lose the glory and wealth she held at her fingertips. Azalea will definitely suffer sleepless nights and be miserable.”
“You’re right. If Michael loses a lawsuit, it will make him suffer. And Azalea is most afraid of losing what she has now. She is relying on the child in her belly and the support from the Gurney family. So what I have to do now is make Michael lose a court case and take everything from him. Then all of Azalea’s hopes will be in vain.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be that easy!” Leonard said. “I can use tricks to make Michael lose a lawsuit, but it’s difficult to take everything from him now. After all, the Davis family and the Gurney family will support each other after their marriage. If we go after the Davis family, the Gurney family will definitely help them. If we want to destroy both families, we might fail even if your brother and I work together.
“Yes, I’ve been thinking about this these days. It’s indeed a little difficult to take everything from Michael, but I have a good plan.”
“What is it?”
“Aren’t I now pregnant with Michael’s child? I have been wanting to get rid of this child, but now I suddenly realized that this child is a bargaining chip.”
“You want to give birth to this child and use her as a bargaining chip against Michael? He already has Azalea’s child and has treated you this way because of Azalea. Do you think he will care about your child?” Leonard suddenly became impatient, and his tone became much harsher.
Abbie was surprised by Leonard’s reaction. She immediately explained, “I didn’t mean that Michael would care about my child. I only want to use this child to take all of the Davis family’s properties.”
“How are you going to do it?” Leonard realized that he had overreacted. He wanted to take control of Abbie. But if Michael knew that Abbie had given birth to his child, things would not be so easy. Therefore, when he heard that Abbie wanted to give birth to the child, he instantly became anxious. After hearing Abbie’s words, he immediately softened his tone.
“I’ll make sure my child becomes Michael’s only child and make it impossible for him to have another child. Then my child will become Michael’s only heir! Everything Michael has worked hard for will belong to my child!”
Leonard was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that Abbie intended to kill Azalea’s child. She also wanted to make it impossible for Michael to have any other children so that her child could be the only heir to inherit Michael’s property. Leonard had never thought of this idea, but it sounded like a plan.
He thought for a moment and said, “It’s easy to kill Azalea’s child, but it’s a little difficult to stop Michael from having other children.”
“Isn’t it pretty simple? We can drug him or create an accident to make him impotent. I think all these are doable, right?”
Leonard felt a chill down his spine when he saw Abbie smiling. No wonder it was said that women are the most vicious. It was better not to push women to their limits.
As Leonard did not respond, Abbie asked, “What do you think of my idea? Will you help me?”
Leonard was silent for a moment. “Of course. As long as it’s something you want, I will try my best to help you achieve it.”
“Thank you! Then let’s plan this well! Don’t let anyone know that I’m alive. After I recover, I’ll go and meet Michael! I hope he won’t let me down. The more prosperous the partnership between him and the Gurney family is, the better.”
Leonard pondered for a moment. As long as Abbie stayed by his side obediently and did not have any thoughts of wanting to meet her loved ones, he would capture Abbie’s heart little by little.
