Meanwhile, in the room on the second floor. Emma was sitting on the carpet playing with toys while Abbie was absent-mindedly sitting by the side.
She had never thought that Wayne and Meadow would come to apologize, but she never believed that they would be sincere.
Abbie couldn’t describe her feelings when she heard that Michael had lost the ability to have children.
She used to hate Michael to the core, but she didn’t feel any resentment when she found out that he had gotten hurt.
She just felt that Michael was pitiful. If it weren’t for Meadow’s greed and how Wayne added fuel to the fire, Michael wouldn’t have become like this.
She pitied Michael, but she also realized a problem.
Wayne had another motive for bringing Meadow to apologize. Based on both of their personalities, they wouldn’t reflect or blame themselves at all. They must have already known Emma’s identity if they could put on such an act.
Wayne wanted to take Emma away by reconciling and apologizing to them, and he even offered money. Was the Clark family short of money?
The Davis family was too despicable. How could they have the guts to steal her child?
Abbie was extremely angry and she definitely wouldn’t hand over Emma to the Davis family. What did Michael’s infertility have to do with her? He asked for it.
Besides, Abbie also thought of another problem. Her parents and brother didn’t know about Emma’s background, and they always thought that it was Leonard’s child. What would they think if they knew that it was Michael’s child?
Should she tell her family about Emma?
Leonard found out that Wayne had taken Meadow to the Clark family to apologize in the afternoon, which made him so surprised that he jumped up.
The assistant reminded, “It’s impossible for the Davis family to apologize for no reason, so I guess they already know the identity of the child.”
“How did they know about it? If this is the case, how can the Clark family hide it?” Leonard asked, “All of my efforts would be wasted if the Clark family knew the truth all along?”
“Mr. Floyd, perhaps things are not as bad as you think. The Clark family’s opinion of the Davis family can’t change in such a short time. The Clark family didn’t want Miss Clark to marry you because they think that the child is yours. They think that she would suffer if she marries you. If they know the child’s identity, they would definitely want Abbie to marry you instead of Michael. Of course, we must make sure that the Clark family doesn’t forgive the Davis family.”
Leonard nodded. “We have to make progress with Anastasia. Contact her and give her all the benefits she asks for”
The assistant nodded and immediately called Anastasia. “Miss Baker, how’s your progress with Michael?”
Anastasia sighed and said, “He’s ignoring me. He called me to ask if I was playing tricks after that night, but he scolded me after I denied it and he hasn’t contacted me yet.”
“Have you ever tried to contact him?” the assistant asked.
“Yes, but he warned me not to contact him in the future. He said that he would kill me if I got on his nerves. I’m very scared and I don’t think I can complete my task.” Anastasia’s tone was filled with sadness.
Leonard’s assistant comforted her. “It’s fine, it doesn’t matter if Michael ignores you. I actually have a good idea.”
Anastasia didn’t say anything as Leonard’s assistant continued, “Mr. Floyd will ensure your safety, so you don’t have to worry about Michael taking revenge on you. According to the current situation, you won’t have a chance at being together with Michael. We will never abandon you, and we will be responsible for you to the end since you chose to cooperate with us. Besides, we have another plan for you.”
“What is it?”
“I’ve discussed it with Mr. Floyd. I’ll give you a large sum of money to compensate you and it’s enough for you to live a carefree life. You only need to do one thing for us. I want you to tell Abbie and the Clark family about your relationship with Michael. I’ll even prepare a script for you, so what do you think?”
“This… I’m afraid that Michael will destroy my life. He’s terrifying.”
“You don’t have to be afraid of him because Mr. Floyd will protect you. If you are really afraid, you can choose to live abroad and we’ll take good care of you.”
Anastasia thought for a moment and said, “Well, I can give it a try, but I can’t guarantee that I can succeed.”
“It will work as long as you do as we say.” The assistant hung up. “Mr. Floyd, she agreed.”
“Ask her to act quickly. Watch her carefully, you can’t let her do anything that might sabotage us.”
“I’ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on her,” the assistant replied. “As long as you can successfully be with Miss Clark, we’ll deal with this woman.”
He made a slashing motion across his throat and Leonard nodded. “Okay, we’ll do that.”
Anastasia no longer believed what Leonard’s assistant said ever since Michael exposed that there was a camera installed in the room that night. After Leonard’s assistant called her, she immediately pressed recorded all of the calls and sent them to Michael.
“Michael, what should I do now?”
After listening to the recording, Michael ordered Anastasia, “Follow his request and remember to leave some evidence. Give me a copy of the document that you’ll receive from him.”
“I’m worried that they will kill me.” After Anastasia spent some effort to ask around about Leonard, she realizes that he wasn’t a good man. Not only that, but he was also extremely cruel. She did not want to die in Leonard’s hands.
“Don’t worry. I’ll protect your safety, but you have to listen to me and our deal is off if you disobey me. I’m not vicious enough to kill you, but Leonard is not as kind as me.”
Anastasia was even more afraid after hearing Michael’s words. She was greedy and she had ill intentions, but she was not stupid. She wouldn’t dare to disobey Michael’s orders even if she was held at gunpoint.
Leonard’s assistant quickly sent a document to Anastasia. He also gave Richard’s phone number, as well as Helen and Donald’s.
He asked Anastasia to follow the contents of the document and send a message to the Clark family. After that, Anastasia immediately forwarded the document to Michael as well.
Michael smiled a few times after reading the document. Leonard really spared no effort to slander him. He hated Leonard to the extreme before, but his resentment had decreased after he learned the truth about Emma.
No matter how impure Leonard’s motive was, it was undeniable that he had saved Abbie. Both Abbie and his daughter were still alive, so he owed Leonard a favour for their sake.
