Chapter 1724 Careless

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Michael had been waiting outside for more than 20 minutes before William finally came out, so he got out of the car angrily and said, “Hey, you’re really going overboard!”
William looked at him annoyedly. “Get straight to the point!”
“Why are you so rude? William, this way please!”
When Michael made a gesture of inviting William to get into the car, the latter gave him a sideways glance before getting in.
“What’s going on?”
“I interfered with Leonard’s scheme,” Michael told him what had happened tonight. “This b*stard is so vicious just to get Abbie. I can’t stand it, I’m going to deal with him so badly that he’ll lose everything.”
William said with a faint smile, “I’m afraid you can’t because someone doesn’t agree!”
“What do you mean?”
“Would you dare to do it when Abbie doesn’t want you to deal with Leonard?”
“Why not? Has she fallen in love with Leonard?” Michael was furious. “If that’s the case, then I’ll deal with him even more viciously. If he even thinks of stealing away my wife, I’ll f*cking send him into jail.”
“Well, I was going to see you tomorrow, but we can talk about it since you are here.”
William got out of the car and motioned for Michael to follow him into the Howard family. The two of them walked in the direction of the garden while William said, “Michael, let me ask you a question. Have you ever thought of thanking Leonard?”
“Why the hell should I thank him!” Michael suddenly realized what William was going to say, so he touched his head and said, “Although Leonard is a b*stard, but he saved Abbie. In the end, I should thank him for this.”
“That’s why we have to face this. Leonard is detestable, but he isn’t the kind of person who is really evil. What do you think Abbie will feel if we destroy him completely? Leonard is her saviour, and Abbie is so kind that she will feel guilty for it. This feeling will always haunt her and it will never disappear.”
Michael was silent for a while. “So do you mean that we can’t touch Leonard at all?”
William rubbed his chin and said, “We’ll give him a way out, or do you want Abbie to feel guilty for the rest of her life?”
Of course, Michael wouldn’t want to see Abbie live in guilt. However, Leonard was blatantly stealing her away from him. “I can give him money, but I will never agree to let him steal my wife!”
He not only stole your wife, but your daughter as well. William thought of how often Michael had professed his love for Abbie and he even made such a big fuss over a small matter. However, he was so careless that he hadn’t even realized that he was the father of Abbie’s daughter. How careless could he be?!”
Even Richard found something strange about it, but why didn’t Michael feel the same way?
He wanted to tell Michael about the child, but Valeria had warned him against doing that. Since William couldn’t go against Valeria’s will, he could only vaguely remind Michael, “Since Leonard has asked someone to film you to create a scandal, you’ll be able to read the news tomorrow, right?”
“More or less, I asked Anastasia to take a few photos. William, will Abbie hate me when the news comes out? I came to see you because I’m so upset, and I want to deal with Leonard in advance so that he won’t make any trouble.”
William waved his hand and said, “So many things have happened, so it won’t make much of a difference. Anyway, the Clark family doesn’t think much of you, so you can just let Leonard do whatever he wants.”
“I’m afraid that Abbie will marry Leonard as soon as she sees it… Unless you can promise me that that won’t happen.”
“Who do you think I am? Why do you think I’ll do that for you?” William was so angry that he scolded, “No one will ever do this!”
Michael begged, “William, I’m begging you now!”
“Alright, let’s put Leonard’s matter aside for now. You can take some time out to meet Abbie once the scandal comes out tomorrow.”
“Didn’t you tell me not to see her before?”
“That was before. Don’t you have to talk to Abbie and apologize now that you’ve been schemed against? You should go to see Abbie’s reaction.” William paused for a moment and said, “Michael, this is the most that I can help you. There are some things that you need to work hard for, and it’s not up to an outsider like me to fix them.”
Azalea and Monthel had been living together peacefully for a few days in the villa. She was a little wary of him at first, but she began to lower her guard after staying with him for a few days. He listened to her and fulfilled whatever she wanted.
Monthel was like her personal fan who was completely devoted to whatever she liked.
Monthel accidentally left his mobile phone on the tea table in the afternoon. He coincidentally received a message at that time, so Azalea stole a glance at it and saw that there was an astronomical amount of money in his bank account.
He didn’t even give her an allowance when he had so much money. How could he just provide her with the basic necessities?
Shouldn’t he give her some money to earn her favour? He was being too stingy.
Azalea couldn’t help secretly complaining about Monthel. In the evening, she overheard two servants chatting and talking about Monthel’s blind date.
They said that his father was going to die of cancer, so he hoped to see Monthel get married and have children before he died. With this, Monthel was forced to go on a blind date.
When they mentioned his date, Azalea realized that it turned out to be a B-list celebrity that she knew in the past.
The servant said that Monthel’s father would buy a villa in the most luxurious part of Juxemburg if the other party agreed to marry Monthel. Besides that, he would also give her 10 million dollars in betrothal gifts.
Azalea was shocked when she heard this because a villa and 10 million in cash was a huge sum of money.
The maid didn’t see Azalea, so she continued the discussion. “Since Miss Clark has given birth to Monthel’s child, why doesn’t she want to marry him? Perhaps his family will give her more money if she brings her child back to his home.”
“Who knows what’s on her mind? I would marry him if I were already pregnant. At worst, she can file for a divorce after getting the money. Since Monthel likes Miss Clark so much, maybe he’ll give her more money.”
Azalea’s heart skipped a beat when she heard what the two servants had said. Why would she give so much money to that B-list celebrity?
That little b*tch used to bully her in the past as well. No, she had to stop this.
It was just that she kept rejecting Monthel before this, so she would need to find a way to do it because he wouldn’t take the initiative to mention it to her.
Wasn’t it a trivial thing? Azalea was very bright especially when it came to these kinds of things, so she quickly thought of a good idea.
