It was still early when Valeria visited the Clark family and it so happened that Anna, who was still as mysterious as ever, was also at home today.
When she saw that Valeria had brought the twins, she happily came over to hug and kiss Cade and Santhos.
Helen was very happy to see the twins as well, so she and Anna brought them to the garden to play.
Abbie and Valeria followed them to the garden. When they found a quiet place to sit down, Abbie looked around and made sure that there was no one around them. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Valeria, I have something important to tell you. Calm down and listen to me.”
Valeria nodded. “Go ahead.”
“I… I didn’t lose my memory!”
“What!?” Valeria looked at Abbie in shock and raised her voice.
Abbie covered Valeria’s mouth with her hand. “Keep your voice down. Valeria, I lost my memory at the start, but I remembered everything after that. I know that Leonard has bad intentions toward me and I’ve been forced into a desperate situation. I need your help.”
One could only imagine how surprised Valeria was. She ignored the fact that Abbie was covering her mouth and reached out to hug Abbie tightly while she mumbled, “That’s great! I can finally rest assured that you won’t be fooled by that b*stard.”
After the two hugged for a while, Abbie discovered that she was still covering Valeria’s mouth and immediately let go.
Valeria was so happy that she couldn’t help but push Abbie. “How can you be so bad to me?! Since you don’t lose your memory, why did you pretend to lie to me? Do you know that I have been so worried about you recently?”
“I’m sorry, but I have some difficulties that I can’t tell you about!”
“What difficulties? You’re in B City now, so why do you need to be afraid with your brother and my husband around?”
“This matter is extremely complicated. I wouldn’t want to tell you all of this if I had a choice.” Abbie sighed. “Valeria, I need your help.”
Valeria promised, “Tell me, and I will do my best as long as I can do it!”
“Valeria, don’t let my brother and Michael know about wha I’m going to tell you later. You have to promise me.”
“I promise!”
“Valeria, my child is still alive, but she’s now in Leonard’s hands. He threatened me with my child and forced me to submit to him. I don’t want to, but I’m worried about my child. Valeria, you have to help me save my daughter.”
Valeria’s eyes widened. “Are you the real mother of the child that supposedly belonged to Leonard? Are you his unidentified girlfriend who got pregnant?”
“Yes!”
“So is the child Michael’s? That jerk!”
Abbie nodded. “I hate Michael, but the child is innocent. I actually wanted to give her up, but I changed my mind in the end. She is my child. I have the ability to support her and give her a good life, so I gave birth to her. However, I didn’t expect that Leonard would use the child to control me. Now that my child is in his hands, he wants me to marry him. Leonard is too disgusting and I don’t want to marry him.”
“Since the child is in Leonard’s hands, we can just find a way to take your child away from him.”
“If we do this, my brother and parents will know that the child is Michael’s. Not only that, but Michael will also know about it. I don’t want them to find out about this.”
“But won;t the truth be exposed in the end?”
“Anyway, I don’t want anyone to know about the existence of the child at the moment.”
Valeria knew that it was not easy for Abbie to tell her about this, so she nodded and said, “Alright, is the child a boy or a girl? What’s their name?”
“It’s a girl, her name is Emma!”
“She must be very cute, right? I really want to see her, she must be as beautiful as you.”
“She is very cute and she’ll always laugh when she sees me. I feel all my worries melt away when I see her, and I’m very glad that I could be her mother. Valeria, I don’t want her to be hurt!”
“I know, I won’t let her get hurt! Anyway, I don’t have the ability to help you with this by myself. I need to tell my husband about this and let him think of a way.”
Abbie knew that she had to ask William for help. “Tell him not to tell my brother and Michael about this.”
“My husband won’t tell anyone. Don’t worry! Michael, that jerk, is no longer my husband’s friend. He shamelessly helped to defend Evelyn in court, so my husband will definitely distance himself from him.”
Abbie sneered when Michael was mentioned, “I hate him so much! I must’ve been blindly in love when I believed in his sweet words. I’m so stupid to be fooled twice by him.”
“Let’s not talk about that b*stard. You should stay away from such a disgusting jerk like him and let him suffer together with that b*tch, Azalea!”
Valeria hated Michael as well. “I’ll talk to my husband about saving Emma later. By the way, why don’t you let Emma marry my son in the future? She can choose from both of my two sons.”
Abbie pursed her lips and smiled when she heard that. “Alright, I’m fine with that.”
Valeria left with Cade and Santhos after having lunch with the Clark family, and she went straight to the Wolf Group.
It was the first time the twins had come to William’s office, so they were extremely curious.
Santhos also learned how to walk, so he leaned on the sofa and rummaged together with Cade until they made a mess in the office.
William was not angry at all when they looked at the mess on the floor and he even stopped the nanny. “All kids would act like this. As long as it’s not dangerous, we can let them play by themselves.”
“You’re spoiling them so much. What will you do if they become unreasonable in the future?” Valeria glared at him, but William smiled and said, “They’re still young, so they won’t understand even if you stop them. You might as well let them do what they want. Don’t worry, I know your concerns. I won’t let them do as they please when they grow up.”
After William left Santhos and Cade in the office, he took Valeria to the top floor to drink some coffee.
However, it was just a reason for him to talk to Valeria.
“What did Abbie say to you?”
“Hubby, she didn’t lose her memory and her child didn’t die. Leonard’s child is actually hers, and he wants to use Emma to control her. She told me the truth because she can’t stand it anymore and she needs our help.”
William’s guesses were somewhat accurate. He took a sip of coffee and said, “Does she want to keep her child’s existence from Richard and Michael?”
“Yes! Abbie emphasized this, so can you keep this from them?”
“Yes!” William nodded.
“Then hurry up and think of a way to help Abbie. Hubby, do you have an idea?”
“Let me think about it!”
William frowned and thought for a long time before he said to Valeria, “Tell Abbie to agree to Leonard’s proposal.”
