Richard came over when William finished his meeting.
His face was full of anger. “I’m so angry! I want to f*cking push that b*stard Leonard down the stairs and beat him to a pulp!”
William smiled and invited him to sit down. “Why don’t you have a cup of tea and cool down?”
“I’m not in the mood to drink now because I’m too angry!” Richard thought of how Abbie obeyed Leonard and said, “William, that b*stard has openly shown his feelings for Abbie. I feel that he’ll push his luck and tell my parents that he wants to be together with her. Abbie will definitely not refuse and my parents are very grateful to that b*stard. As long as Abbie doesn’t object, they will definitely agree.”
William smiled at Richard and said, “If Leonard really wants to date Abbie, you should ask your parents to give their blessings.”
“Are you right in the head?” Richard’s eyes were wide open as he stared at William.
“What’s the difference between marrying Leonard or Michael when both of them are both b*stards? At least I know that Michael isn’t that bad, but what about Leonard? He has no moral principles and he’s so vicious. Wouldn’t Abbie be in grave danger if she ends up together with him?”
When Richard mentioned Michael, William smiled and said, “Richard, you would rather let Michael be with Abbie than Leonard, right?”
“No, no,! I’m just making a metaphor. I will never forgive such a disgusting b*stard like Michael!”
William sighed slightly. He had just begun to suspect that Abbie was the secret pregnant woman who was always with Leonard.
If his guess was true, then Abbie’s child might still be alive. With that, Michael and Abbie had a chance of getting back together since they had a child.
However, this matter was not confirmed and it was just a hypothesis. He had to let Jaxon investigate the matter thoroughly before taking the next step.
Richard was very anxious. “William, help me think of a way to stop Leonard from fulfiling evil intentions.”
“Richard, there’s no need to stop Leonard from pursuing Abbie and you should just let him do whatever he wants. If Leonard takes the initiative to ask the Clark family to marry Abbie, you can ask your parents to agree and ask a request from him.”
Richard felt that William’s suggestion to fulfil Leonard’s wishes was too unacceptable. However, he assumed that William must’ve come up with a plan since the latter was usually full of tricks. William never did things that he was unsure of, so Richard suppressed his temper. “What should we request?”
“Leonard can’t be involved with any woman or do anything that will harm the interests of the Clark family.”
“Oh…” Richard said. “Do you have news that Leonard is involved with another woman?”
“Yes!”
“Okay, then I can rest assured!” Richard was more curious about Leonard’s secret lover, “Who is the woman that had an affair with Leonard?”
“Evelyn!”
Meanwhile, in the Gurney family, Evelyn sat on the sofa in the living room gloatingly as she listened to Frederick and Francis talking about Azalea.
“I went to see Azalea just now. She’s very depressed and she doesn’t look the same as before. She even pinched her child and I saw several bruises on the child’s arm.”
“Is… is she crazy?” Francis was extremely shocked when he heard this.
Frederick continued, “I asked the doctor. He said that her mood had changed a lot in the past few days. She was very happy a few days ago, but she became depressed since Michael attacked her. The doctor said that he was worried that Azalea would have postpartum depression.”
“This b*stard, Michael! Has he gone insane? How could he suddenly treat Azalea like that? I’m so angry!”
“Sir, I heard another piece of news. Abbie is back!”
“Who!?” Francis asked in astonishment.
“Abbie is the heiress of the Clark family and the love of Michael’s life.”
“What’s going on? Hasn’t she been dead for about eight months? How did she come back alive?”
“Apparently, Leonard saved her and she just woke up after being in a coma for a few months. Michael must’ve gone mad at Azalea when he heard that Abbie was alive. If this is true, Azalea and Michael’s marriage might be uncertain.”
Francis was very angry. “What kind of stupid news is this? Why would this happen at such a critical moment?”
“Sir, you have to think of a way.” Frederick reminded him while Evelyn sneered from beside them. “What?! The person that Michael loves has always been Abbie, and he has never cared about Azalea before. Michael would never marry Azalea now that Abbie is back. Grandpa, don’t waste your time on her anymore and you should spare your efforts on me instead.”
“Are you that much better compared to Azalea? At least Azalea has a child, but what do you have?”
“I have a child as well! As long as you help me kill Valeria, I can take the position that rightfully belongs to me.”
“If it was really that simple, someone would have succeeded in killing Valeria by now! Do you think you have the capabilities to do so?”
“Even if they want to kill Valeria, they don’t have William’s child as leverage. I’m pregnant with his child now! Grandpa, I’m the one that you should pay attention to!”
Evelyn touched her belly and said, “Grandpa, don’t miss such a great opportunity.”
“Well, let’s put your matters aside for now. The most important thing now is to deal with Azalea. Since her child has been born and the contract has been signed, I’ll make the whole Davis family go bankrupt if Michael refuses to marry Azalea!”
When Evelyn saw that Francis still wanted to help Azalea, she stood up with a sneer and went upstairs.
She closed the door and called Azalea back when she was in the bedroom. The phone rang for a while before Azalea answered. She asked weakly, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Evelyn!”
“What’s the matter?” Azalea knew that Evelyn didn’t like her. The feeling was mutual, so she didn’t plan on talking to Evelyn kindly over the phone.
“I’m calling to tell you something, and you’ll definitely be shocked when you hear it.”
Evelyn chuckled and said, “Do you know that Abbie is back?!”
“How is that possible!? Isn’t she dead?”
“Isn’t it? Aren’t you the one who caused Abbie’s accident? That’s why you were so sure that she won’t come back. It’s a pity that fate isn’t on your side because Abbie is alive and well!”
Azalea did not believe her. “Who told you that?”
“Who else? Everyone in the Clark family knows that Abbie is alive! Azalea, don’t you know why Michael did that to you? He wanted to strangle you because he knew that Abbie was back. Let me tell you, Michael has never liked someone as disgusting as you. You could still rely on your child to get everything you want when Abbie was gone. Now that Abbie is back, your child is useless. Azalea, you should give up on your schemes as soon as possible! Don’t waste my grandfather’s efforts anymore!”
Evelyn smiled and hung up. After Azalea sat there for a while, she suddenly got up and walked out because she had to go to the Clark family to verify the truth.
