Michael and Francis looked calm as they had already predicted Wayne’s reaction. An ambulance had already been waiting downstairs for some time.
What Michael wanted was never Wayne’s death, but for him to be alive to witness his business empire being eroded little by little and his painstaking efforts going to waste.
The ambulance wailed as it sent Wayne to the hospital. The meeting of the board of directors of the Davis family had come to an end because Wayne had fainted.
When Wayne was saved in the hospital, the news that the meeting of the board of directors of the Davis family could not take place on time began to brew.
The video and photos of Wayne being sent to the hospital were all over the Internet, and there were all kinds of gossip.
Most of the news was about Michael giving Azalea’s biological father, Francis, the shares under his name in order to marry Azalea and show his loyalty.
The Davis family’s shares in Michael’s hands were quite an amount, and if he gave them all to Francis, wouldn’t that be a little too much?
The netizens were all talking about it. Some were cheering, some were in disbelief, and some were amazed by the power of love.
If Azalea could make Michael make such a sacrifice, who dared to say that Michael didn’t love Azalea?
He had given up all his fortune. What man could do that for a woman?
There were all kinds of things on the Internet, and some said that the reason why Michael did this was that the Gurney family did not agree to Azalea marrying him, so in order to marry Azalea, he sacrificed his career for a woman.
Michael and Azalea’s love story went viral, and many posts appeared all of a sudden circling them, discussing their relationship.
When Leonard saw the news, it was already in the afternoon, and was very shocked. “Did Michael really transfer his shares to Mr. Gurney?”
The assistant nodded. “The Davis family’s company has issued the latest shareholder notice and Francis is on the list. The number of shares he has is the same as Michael’s before, while Michael is removed from the Davis family’s shareholders list.”
“What exactly is going on? Does he really like Azalea?” Leonard couldn’t figure it out. “Even if he really likes Azalea, he wouldn’t give up his money like this, would he?”
“Could it be that Michael was threatened? Maybe Francis or Azalea had something on him and he was forced to do this?” The assistant guessed.
“How big of a deal could it be to make Michael make such a sacrifice?” Leonard shook his head. “Michael is not a saint. He will definitely find a way to deal with it when he is threatened. Giving up just like this isn’t like him! There must be a reason behind this!”
“Mr. Floyd, do you think that something is up?”
“I don’t know!” Leonard shook his head. He frowned and thought for a while before ordering his assistant, “Find a way to inform Abbie about this as soon as possible.”
“But… Miss Clark is pregnant now. Would the news upset her?”
“It’s better if she’s upset!” Leonard snorted coldly. Abbie had been pregnant for more than seven months, and she would give birth to the baby soon.
Besides, he would be marrying Abbie soon, and he didn’t want Abbie to marry her when she was pregnant with another man’s child. It would be better if what Michael had done would upset her and cause her to lose the baby. If she lost the child, Abbie would no longer have any connection with Michael, so she would be with him wholeheartedly.
The assistant saw that Leonard had made up his mind and did not try to persuade him further, so he immediately went to carry out the orders.
This piece of news didn’t immediately reach Abbie’s ears.
Abbie went to bed at ten o’clock in the evening as usual, and at six o’clock in the morning, Abbie opened her eyes.
She got up, as usual, washed up, and had breakfast. Then, she took a walk in the manor.
At eight o’clock, under the escort of the housekeeper and bodyguards, Abbie went to the hospital for a check-up.
Abbie had already been pregnant for twenty-nine weeks, and she had to carry out the usual routine of full blood count and urine tests, biotin and thyroid gland functions, anemia diseases, bile acid and cholyglycine tests, as well as ultrasonography.
After the examination ended, the doctor told Abbie that the baby is growing well and that everything was fine.
She was very happy that the child would be born in a few weeks.
She had to prepare some necessities for the child, so Abbie went to the mall accompanied by the butler, servants, and bodyguards.
She ordered a stroller, bought a milk bottle, a milk-warming device, a thermometer, and all kinds of daily necessities such as clothes and towels.
When she was buying the baby’s clothes, Abbie met a few women.
The women were shopping for clothes next to Abbie while chatting and gossiping.
“I’d always thought that Azalea was just a nobody and that Michael was only with her because she was pregnant. I hadn’t expected them to be true love!”
“Yeah, I hadn’t either. I was shocked when I saw the news. The Davis family transferred that many shares to Francis. Exactly how deeply in love Michael is with Azalea?”
“That’s why we can’t be quick to judge. Before this, everyone said that Azalea was not good enough for Michael and that he didn’t like her at all. Now they are proving the rumors wrong, aren’t they?”
“Yes, so wrong. I used to think that Michael liked the Clark family’s eldest daughter, Abbie. I saw Michael and Abbie watching a movie together before, but I didn’t expect that to be fake. I read articles saying that Michael was with Abbie because he was afraid that Abbie would hurt Azalea, so he pretended to be good to Abbie in order to protect Azalea.”
“Really?”
“Abbie is arrogant and is capable of doing anything. She’d even slapped Azalea because of Michael in front of him. She’s this arrogant even in public. Just imagine what Abbie would do to her when no one’s watching. Michael must love his lover, so he went on with the show. Now that Abbie is dead, Michael doesn’t need to pretend anymore. The two of them can finally be together. Abbie is a vicious hypocrite. She deserves to die.”
Abbie’s face was covered with a veil, and when she heard the two women’s discussion, her expression changed.
She had always believed that Michael and Azalea were secretly in love with each other. Otherwise, the child in Azalea’s belly would never have existed.
However, did Michael really not have any feelings for her at all? He used to be so kind to her and kept expressing his love for her. If all that was fake, then Michael was an excellent actor.
Not to mention they had said that Michael gave all his Davis family’s shares to Azalea. Is that true?
Abbie did not believe it as it was not a small amount. Besides, if Michael wanted to give out all of his shares, Wayne and Meadow would definitely not have agreed. He had to spend a lot of effort to complete this.
Abbie sat down on a chair in the mall and picked up her phone to read the news.
Michael’s gift of the shares to Francis was indeed trending on the internet, and the so-called love story between him and Azalea was viral too.
Abbie still found it unbelievable. Leonard was currently in the country too, so she had to ask him.
