Jacelyn did not take the powder from Evelyn. “Miss, what is this?”
“It’s a slow poison, and I want you to put some of it in Valeria’s food or drinks. Then, she’ll die a slow death in a month.”
“This… you want me to kill someone?” Jacelyn waved her hand. “I don’t dare to do that!”
“Hm? What’s there to be afraid of? I don’t need you to actually openly kill some, I just want you to quietly put it in her cup. It’s very simple. Didn’t you drug that old woman as well? It’s as simple as before and nothing will happen.”
“I don’t have a chance to be in contact with Madam Howard. I’m just an external servant and she has her own staff that serve her personally.”
Evelyn didn’t believe it. “You’ve been in the Howard family for so long. I don’t believe that you won’t have a chance at all. You’re so smart that you’ll definitely come up with a solution.”
“Miss, there’s really nothing I can do… If anything happens to Madam Howard, William will definitely continue his investigation and I’ll lose my life if he finds out!”
Evelyn’s face turned cold when she saw that Jacelyn still refused her request. “This is an order! If you don’t do this, I will spread the news that you killed that old woman. At that time, you’ll definitely be imprisoned.”
Evelyn softened her tone when she saw the fear on Jacelyn’s face and said, “You’ll be fine. No one would suspect that you would murder Valeria. As long as she dies silently of illness, I’ll marry William with the child in my belly. I’ll definitely treat you extremely well when the time comes. Don’t you want to marry Bobby? I’ll make your dream come true.”
“I don’t want to marry him.”
“I can give you other benefits even if you don’t want that. At that time, I’ll keep you by my side all the time and buy a mansion for you. I’ll even give you a large sum of money so that you can enjoy all the glory and wealth!”
Evelyn deepened her tone after tempting Jacelyn and said, “Think about it clearly. Do you want to live a good life or go to jail?”
Jacelyn knew that Evelyn had gone completely mad, so she took over the powder and said, “I understand. I will do it according to your instructions.”
“That’s good. I’ll reward you as long as it’s done!” Evelyn promised solemnly.
Jacelyn left after she took the powder from Evelyn. She knew that Evelyn was vicious and cunning, so she deliberately brought a recording pen and recorded Evelyn’s words when she came.
Jacelyn gave Bobby the packet of powder and the recording pen. Then, she relayed what Evelyn had told her as well.
Bobby wanted to strangle Evelyn with his own hand when he heard the recording, and he immediately handed the recording to William.
William didn’t expect Evelyn to be so crazy. Then, he whispered a few words to Bobby after thinking for a while.
At eight o’clock at night, Azalea changed her clothes and left the Davis family’s mansion.
She called a taxi instead of calling the driver of the Davis family. After some twists and turns, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a bar more than 40 minutes later.
Azalea got out of the car and entered the bar, but she quickly passed through the noisy hall and went to the second floor. When she pushed open the door of the private room, she saw Leonard, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa while he gave her a gentle smile. “Miss Clark, please have a seat!”
Azalea looked at how similar Leonard resembled William. How could there be such two people that looked so alike?
If she hadn’t known in advance that he wasn’t William, she would have mistaken him for someone else.
She knew that William wasn’t someone to be trifled with, nor was the man in front of her who resembled him.
This man had saved Abbie. If not for him, Abbie would never be alive, nor would she become a threat to her.
Azalea fel conflicted as she sat down on the sofa some distance away from Leonard. “What can I do for you, Mr. Floyd?”
“Of course, I’m looking for you for Abbie’s sake!”
Azalea’s chest tightened. “I don’t have a good relationship with Abbie, so I don’t understand what you’re trying to say to me.”
“Miss Clark, don’t pretend to be confused. I know what you did to Abbie. You killed her by the sea a few months ago and I saved her by accident…”
Azalea interrupted Leonard. “Mr. Floyd, you should be responsible for your words. I didn’t try to harm Abbie, so please don’t blame me for something that I didn’t do.”
“Alright, you don’t have to pretend in front of me. I’m not looking for you to discuss your crime because I have no intention of pursuing Abbie’s murder. On the contrary, I am very grateful to you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to be with Abbie.”
“You and Abbie… are you two together?” Azalea looked at Leonard in shock.
“Am I not allowed to do that?” A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Muchu’s mouth.
“Of course you can, but I’m just shocked!”
Azalea was truly shocked to the point of disbelief. “Did Abbie agree to marry you?”
“I haven’t proposed yet, but I believe that she will marry me.”
Azalea looked at Leonard in confusion. “I don’t quite understand why you’re looking for me. This has nothing to do with me, right?”
“Of course it does! Miss Clark, don’t you want to marry Michael and become the daughter-in-law of the Davis family? I want to marry Abbie, so don’t we have the same goal in a sense?”
“This…”
“I don’t want to beat around the bush. Abbie still doesn’t want to marry me. I’m worried that she still has a little bit of affection for Michael, and I know that Michael doesn’t want to marry you either. He must be thinking about Abbie. In order to prevent them from being together again, I want to discuss with you and come up with a plan that is good for the both of us.”
Azalea understood what Leonard meant. “I understand what you mean, but do have any good suggestions?”
“I want you to show off how much you and Michael love each other in front of Abbie. Tell Abbie how much Michael loves you and how he’s willing to do anything for you.”
“Well… Mr. Floyd, to tell you the truth, Michael has no feelings for me and Abbie is very clear about it. She won’t believe me even if I show my love.”
“Don’t worry. She doesn’t remember your past. She only remembered that Michael betrayed her and had a child with you. Abbie now believes that you and Michael love each other, and that he prioritizes you over her!”
“Did she really lose her memory? Is this true?”If that was the case, then the situation would be even more advantageous for Azalea, who secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Of course it’s true. Miss Clark, can you carry out my request?”
Azalea was secretly delighted. She had another strong backer with Leonard’s help, so she definitely wouldn’t reject his proposal. “As long as Abbie really lost her memory, I can do as you ask.”
“Then we’ll wait and see how well you can keep up your act. Don’t worry, Miss Clark. I’ll arrange for someone to protect you and I won’t let you get hurt by Abbie. Of course, you just have to do your best to convince Abbie that Michael has never loved her and that he was just playing with her feelings!”
