The news that Michael had become Evelyn’s lawyer spread quickly. Wayne was very angry, so he called Michael and asked, “Did you cut ties with William?”
“Not yet, but it’s hard to say after today.”
“What’s wrong with you? Why did you agree to be Evelyn’s lawyer? Aren’t you declaring war against William if you do this? He has always been protective of the people close to him, but you’re defending his wife’s murderer. Do you know that William would kill you in the future?”
Michael sneered and said, “From the day you took Azalea home, my friendship with William was no longer the same as before. It’s time for me to choose a side now. I can either maintain a friendship with him or stand with the Gurney family. Although William and I have been friends for many years, he did not give me much benefit. Instead, he has always suppressed everywhere. Why should I stay loyal to a friend who doesn’t give me any benefits?”
Wayne wasn’t as angry and anxious after he heard Michael’s words. “It’s good that you can think like this. I also think that William is too overbearing. You are no worse than him, but you have fewer opportunities than him. Now that you have a chance, you should cooperate with the Gurney family! By the way, you can’t always be cold to Azalea. You have to show your sincerity since you want to cooperate with the Gurney family, so you have to consider your marriage with Azalea.”
Michael did not refuse this time, but he said to Wayne, “This matter can’t be delayed anymore, so I need to think about it properly.”
Wayne was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately said, “Leave it to me. I’ll do it for you.”
“You can take care of the marriage, but there is something we need to deal with before that.” Michael paused for a moment. “I heard that William is so successful because he found someone to use black magic to ensure his success.”
“What? No wonder I said that William seemed to have been given a shortcut to be so successful. It turned out that he had someone to help him.?” Wayne believed this and immediately asked, “Do you know who helped him? We can look for this person to help us as well.”
“Of course, he wouldn’t tell the public about this. William wasn’t stupid enough to tell me about it as well, but fate would never let those with ulterior motives win. He accidentally spilt the beans when he was drunk that night, so I sent someone to inquire about the person and found him.”
“Is this true? That’s great!” Wayne was ecstatic. “Michael, you can ask this person to help you. As long as he can do it, you don’t have to consider the price.”
“This person is very mysterious. He said that this would affect his life, and he still wants to live a few more years. He doesn’t want to help others predict their lives anymore, but he can help to determine an auspicious day for me to have my marriage. If we have it on a good day, it’ll bless us with good luck as well.”
“Yes, I heard this before as well. You should ask him to determine your wedding day.” Wayne echoed.
“Go and tell Francis about this. When the time comes, I’ll need Azalea’s, her mother’s, as well as Francis’ birth date. I want to personally find this expert to help me choose the date of my marriage.”
Wayne was extremely happy. “Alright! That’s the best. I’ll go and discuss this with Francis now.”
Francis was in a good mood when Michael agreed to become Evelyn’s lawyer, but he was still worried that Michael would go back on his word. In order to cut off Michael’s escape route, he asked his men to publicize the news that Michael would become Evelyn’s lawyer. Not only that, but he also spread the news that Michael and Azalea were going to hold a wedding soon.
After he arranged it, he didn’t expect Wayne to visit him early the next morning.
After they greeted each other, Wayne still chose not to go straight to the point. “Michael intends to marry Azalea, so I need you and Azalea’s mother’s birth date.”
“Why do you need that?” They could just use Azalea’s birth date, so why would they need his and Azalea’s mother’s birth date to do this?
“Michael wants to find a spiritual guru to calculate the date of his marriage. He not only wants the birth dates of the couple, but also both their parents.”
“Is there really such a thing?” Francis found it a little absurd. However, since Michael was willing to take this step, it was a very great turning point. He didn’t question this any longer and gave the dates to Wayne.
Wayne left happily after he got it, but Francis found it strange. He said to Frederick, “Don’t you feel his change in character is too abrupt? Michael hated Azalea so much before, so why did he suddenly change his mind?”
“Maybe it’s because of Abbie and Leonard’s relationship? I heard that Leonard booked a restaurant last night and set up a very grand and romantic dinner. I think he proposed to Abbie.” Frederick guessed.
“I always thought that it was a bad thing for Abbie to come back, but I didn’t expect things to take a good turn. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have dealt with her at the start.”
Francis felt a little regretful, but he quickly returned to normal when he thought of the fact that Michael and Azalea already had a son. “They already have a son, so all their assets can only be given to Azalea’s child in the future. It’s not a bad thing after all, and it’s good that things turned out this way.”
After thinking about it for a night, Abbie summoned up the courage to call Valeria the next morning. “Valeria, can we meet again today? I have something very important to tell you, so why don’t you bring your sons to my house and have lunch at my house?”
Valeria would not refuse her, so she agreed immediately. After she hung up, she asked the nanny to pack up Cade and Santhos’ things. William was about to go out when he saw this scene and asked curiously, “Where are you going today?”
“Abbie asked me to go over because she has something important to tell me. She also asked me to take Cade and Santhos along for lunch, so I’ll probably come back at night. Hubby, what do you think she’ll tell me?”
“I don’t know.” William spread out his hands.
“Really? I heard you and Bobby talk about Leonard’s dinner with Abbie in the study last night. Do you dare to say that you didn’t keep an eye on Abbie?”
“No, I’m really innocent. It’s natural for me to know about it since Leonard booked the most popular restaurant in such a flamboyant way.”
“Is Abbie going to tell me about Leonard’s proposal? Does she want to ask for my opinion? I absolutely despise him. If she wants to agree to Leonard’s proposal, what should I say? Do you think I can reject her directly?”
“If she agrees to Leonard’s proposal, there’s no point in refusing. You’d better stop guessing and pack up immediately. I’ll send you there since it’s on the way, and I can find out what’s going on as well.”
“Woudn’t it waste your time since you’re supposed to work?”
“I’m the boss, so no one would dare to blame me even if I’m late.” William smiled and asked Bobby to take the twins’ things into the car while Valeria brought two nannies along with her.
