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

Azalea looked up when she heard the voice and met Leonard’s assistant’s gaze in the car.
She stopped crying once he got out of the car. “Miss Clark, I’ve been looking for you everywhere!”
Azalea lowered her head frantically when she saw him, but he said warmly, “Miss Clark, get in the car.”
She didn’t know if Leonard’s assistant knew about the murder she’d committed, so she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car.
He then gave her a bottle of water and some food.
Azalea was famished because she hadn’t eaten anything for a few days, so she wolfed down her food desperately.
Leonard’s assistant had been observing Azalea all this time, and he said once she finished eating, “I know what you’ve done! The police are now looking for you everywhere.”
Azalea’s expression was filled with panic. “Are you going to hand me over to the police?”
“No, I’m here to help you.”
“How can you do that?” Azalea asked in frustration. “I won’t be able to escape the law because I committed murder.”
Leonard’s assistant sighed. “Miss Clark, have you ever wondered why you ended up like this?”
“Why? Why did this happen to me?” Azalea muttered.
“You would be a glamorous star now if it weren’t for Michael. You would’ve lived in a luxurious mansion with countless fans who worship you, but you lost everything because of Michael. He was the one who made you like this, right?”
Azalea thought for a moment. “Yes! It’s all his fault, he’s the one who forced me to end up like this!”
The assistant nodded with satisfaction. “Miss Clark, do you know what’s going on with Michael now? He began to pursue Abbie again after he drove you away, and I don’t think it’ll be long before he marries her.”
“How is this possible? How could she agree to marry Michael? She hates Michael so much, so why would she reconcile with him? Even if she wants to, I’m sure her family will not agree to it.”
“It’s because Abbie gave birth to Michael’s child, Emma. Since they have a child together, they’re connected by blood and the Clark family has no choice but to accept it.”
“They actually have a child together? Is Michael really the father of Abbie’s daughter?” Azalea thought of how she used her b*stard child to provoke Abbie. At that time, Abbie must’ve taken her as a complete joke!
She had always made a fool of herself in front of Abbie, which made her so angry that she even forgot about the people she killed. “Doesn’t Abbie hate Michael? How could she give birth to his child? Why would she even want to have his child?”
“How would I know? But don’t you want to do something about this? Are you willing to watch Michael and Abbie get back together?”
Azalea was obviously unwilling to give up. “What can I possibly do to them? I’ve lost everything!”
“Since you’ve killed so many people, it won’t make a difference if you kill one more since you’ll be sentenced to death anyway. If I were you, I would kill Michael because he’s the one who started it…”
The assistant made a throat-slitting gesture and said, “This way, you’ll get to drag someone down with you and stop Abbie and Michael from ever getting back together!”
“No, I can’t get close to him. He has bodyguards, and I’m involved in a murder case now. Michael may also be looking for me, so I would just fall into his trap if I look for him now.”
“I can help you get close to Michael as long as you want to get revenge! Miss Clark, do you want to do this?”
Since Azalea had already gotten to this point, it wouldn’t matter how many people she killed anymore. She didn’t mind committing murder one more time.
Azalea was silent for a moment. “I want revenge, so please help me!”
Meanwhile, Abbie had not gone out for a few days because of Michael’s endless pestering.
Even if she didn’t go out, Wayne visited her every day with his property ownership certificate and savings to apologize to the Clark family.
Helen and Donald were extremely annoyed. Wayne was completely different from before and he didn’t get angry even if they insulted him. Most importantly, Donald and Helen were not mean people by heart, so they couldn’t bring themselves to say unpleasant things to him.
Wayne was not the only one who came forward from the Davis family. Stanty and Meadow also took turns to visit them. Helen and Donald were so annoyed to the point that they called Michael to stop him from causing so much trouble for them
Of course, Michael would not listen to them and he also came to visit them with valuable gifts.
Donald and Helen were so angry when they saw Michael that they scolded him harshly once they saw him.
However, Michael had an extremely good temper and accepted their harsh insults. He was so devoted to Abbie that he refused to marry anyone else except for her. Not only did he want to make Abbie happy, but it also wasn’t reasonable to keep Emma away from her father as well.
Michael was a lawyer by heart, so he was very skilled in using his words to convince people.
Donald and Helen were indifferent at first, but they gradually had a change of heart. They felt that it was unreasonable to stop him from fixing his relationship with Abbie as well.
Abbie knew that Michael was in her house, but she didn’t go out to see him. She thought that her parents wouldn’t be convinced by him, but she didn’t expect that her parents’ attitude would become somewhat relaxed after Michael visited them for a few days. This made Abbie so angry that she quickly went downstairs to chase Michael out of the house. “Michael, stop with your nonsense right now! Get lost!”
When Michael refused to leave, Abbie directly took a baseball bat to beat him up.
Since Donald and Helen didn’t stop her, Michael had no choice but to get up and leave.
However, he was still trying to appease her as she drove him out of the villa with the baseball bat.
Abbie didn’t listen to him at all. “I’ve already fallen for your fancy words once. Michael, I won’t believe you anymore, so please don’t waste your time here. Get lost!”
“I just want to say a few words. Can you listen to me?” Michael begged.
“What’s there to talk about? I feel sick just by hearing your voice, so please stop wasting your efforts here. I will never get back together with you ever again, so get out of my house immediately and don’t come here ever again! Nothing will change even if you can persuade my parents because I despise you. I will never do anything that I’ll regret ever again!”
Just as they were talking at the door, a black car stopped opposite the Clark family’s villa. When the door opened, Azalea got out of the car with a dagger in her hand as she rushed toward Michael and Abbie.
