Chapter 1701 Reclaiming My Son

Azalea's heart sank when she heard the man's words and she quickly realized that something was wrong. She said sternly with a straight face, "Who are you? Who allowed you to talk to me like that?" "Azalea, it's gotten to this point. You can stop pretending." The man walked to Azalea's side and reached out to pull her hand. "Get lost!" Azalea pushed the man's hand away in disgust, but he didn't give up even after he had been hit. He came over and pulled her. "Azalea, I've told Mr. and Mrs. Davis about what happened between us. Since it's already ended up like this, you can't hide it anymore. Just confess it to them!" "What are you talking about? Are you crazy? You're just a disgusting lunatic!" "Azalea, I know what you're thinking. I'm down and out now, so I can understand if you don't want to be like this. But you can't keep lying like this and pretend that my child belongs to another man. This is immoral!" "Where did this lunatic come from? I don't know h

Chapter 1702 Something Happened to Casper

Since he had already made up his mind, Azalea couldn't convince him otherwise. She called Michael in humiliation, but she couldn't get through to him. It was almost impossible for Michael to answer her call, so Azalea had to call Francis again, but no one answered as well. Why did it seem as though everyone had disappeared? Azalea had been kept at the police station for such a long time, which made her so tired and hungry that she didn't want to move at all. She just wanted to eat her meal and sleep after taking a shower. However, she couldn't do that now that such a thing had happened. She had to go and discuss it with Francis immediately. Azalea immediately went to Francis' villa, but the villa that was usually brightly lit was completely dark today. Azalea pressed the doorbell outside for a long time before a servant came out to open the door. She immediately said when she saw Azalea, "Miss Clark, are you looking for Sir Francis? He's not at home."

Chapter 1703 Made A Mark

Francis was shocked. "Are you sure? Is there a mistake?" "I'm not mistaken, I deliberately left a mark on the bottle when I gave it to Michael. I saw the exact same mark just now when I looked at it." "Why did the wine that was given to Michael end up with Casper? It must be a mistake!" Francis was very clear about the consequences, so he would rather believe that Frederick had made a mistake. "Why don't you ask Casper's men where this wine came from?" Frederick had a very bad feeling in his heart. He wished that he was just mistaken, but he knew that he had seen it clearly. Francis called Frederick's personal bodyguard and asked, "Where did Casper buy this bottle of wine?" The bodyguard was very clear about Casper's every move and immediately replied, "He didn't buy this wine, it was a gift from Michael." Francis's eyes were wide in shock and his voice wavered. "Are... are you sure?" "I'm sure. Michael invited Mr. Casper to dinner that day. Mr

Chapter 1704 A Good Conversation

Michael smiled and poured a glass of wine for himself and his assistant. "Let's have a good chat with Francis!" The assistant immediately understood and picked up the call. "Nice to meet you, Sir." "D*mn it! Where's Michael? Let him answer the phone!" "Sir, why don't you call him if you're looking for him?" "Stop pretending, I know that Michael is hiding from me. Ask him to answer the phone, doesn't he have the guts to deal with his own actions?" Francis asked, gasping for breath. "What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying," The assistant asked. Francis roared, "Stop pretending! How can you not know that Michael schemed against Casper?!" "Sir, you have to be responsible for what you say and you can't slander others like this. We have never interacted with Casper and I remembered that we only had a meal with him. Mr. Davis wanted to gain his favour to hasten the company handover, but it happened a few months ago and we haven't seen

Chapter 1705 Give Me A Way Out

Wayne was still holding the teacup in his hand and he didn't smash it on Michael. "What do you mean?" "That old b*stard doesn't have any intention to cooperate with me. He just wants to make sure I have no other children because he's after my assets, but I saw through him and set up a trap for him. You should have guessed when you saw how the Gurney family's stocks had plummeted in the past few days." "Were you the one behind it?" "I can't possibly do that myself, so I worked together with William! I'm telling you that the Gurney family can't hold on any longer and Francis has taken over the Davis Group shares from me. If you don't want to lose everything, you'd better make your move soon because the Davis family will end up like the Gurneys soon." "You... you b*stard, how can there be someone like you in our family!?" The cup in Wayne's hand fell to the ground powerlessly. If William had intervened in the Gurney family's affairs, their company's bankruptc

Chapter 1706 Heavy Losses

It was already two o'clock in the morning when Francis and Frederick found Michael's assistant. Michael's assistant yawned and opened the door impatiently. "What's going on? Don't you know that I'm asleep?" Francis said angrily, "I'm going to withdraw all my investment funds now!" "Now?" The assistant asked. "Yes, get on it right away!" "I'll have to go to the company to do it and I need Michael's permission as well." Francis became frustrated. "Then why don't you call Michael?" The assistant looked at Francis as if he was insane. "At this point, let alone I can't get through to Michael's phone, even if I can get through, I won't call him! I'm not a fool. I'm looking for abuse by calling him now." "I don't care what method you use. Anyway, I'm going to withdraw the money now and you must find a way to do it!" The assistant looked at Francis' demanding expression and said with a sneer, "I'm Michael's assistant and he's the one who pa

Chapter 1707 No Recovery

Francis's heart sank when Michael stretched out two fingers. He knew that the loss must be very serious, but he didn't expect it to be this bad. He had invested so much money, but only one-tenth of it was left. Francis' vision started to blur and he staggered forwards. Frederick had the same thought, so he asked in shock, "There's 200 million left?" Michael shook his head. "No! There's only 2 million left!" "What!? Why is it so little?" Frederick suddenly stood up. "Why are you so agitated?" Michael snorted. "Did you forget about your losses before last night? The crash last night made things even worse! I'm at a loss too and I don't think our funds can be recovered!" "You... you..." Francis was so angry that he stood up all of a sudden and pointed at Michael with trembling lips. Michael looked at him coldly with sarcasm in his eyes as if he he knew that Francis couldn't do anything to him. Francis was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fe

Chapter 1708 Is It Still The Same?

After William hugged Cade and helped to wipe away his tears, Cade continued to sob. "Wife! I want my wife!" Valeria knew that he was referring to Emma. "You can't be so rude. Her name is Emma, and she isn't your wife. Can you remember to call her by her name in the future?" "She's my wife!" "She won't pay attention to you anymore if you continue being so rude. No one likes boys who don't have manners." Cade stopped and whined, "I want to play with Emma!" "I'll take you there in a few days, I'm too tired today." "I'll go with Auntie!" Cade still insisted. "Are you being naughty again?" William snorted. Cade was angry when he heard this and he imitated William's snort before getting off and waddling out of the room. When Hayden followed Cade out in a hurry, Valeria shook her head with a smile and said, "He looks exactly like you. Were you like this when you were a child as well?" "I have always been a good boy when I was young. How ca

Chapter 1709 Think About It

Helen jumped in fright and looked at Richard. "Who is it? Why does she sound so familiar?" "Who else could it be? It's Azalea!" Richard replied calmly. "What is she doing here?" Helen asked with a look of disgust. "We'll know when we check it out!" Richard said as he stood up and Abbie also came out of the dining hall when she heard the voice. Richard handed Emma over to Abbie. "I'm going out to take a look." "I want to go as well." Abbie could hear that it was Azalea's hoarse screams and she wanted to see why the latter was throwing a fit. Richard tried to stop her. "Don't go. Azalea must have come with bad intentions since she's screaming so loudly. I'm afraid she'll scare Emma." "I'll ask the nanny to carry Emma." Abbie handed Emma over to the nanny and followed Richard and Helen out. Azalea's hair was dishevelled as she howled and cursed away. The bodyguards would definitely not give her face. They kicked Azalea's leg a few times and

Chapter 1710 Completely Change

Francis fainted for a completely different reason compared to last night, and he was immediately sent to the hospital after the doctor administered first aid. However, everything had changed completely even before he woke up. The Gurney family's stocks continued to be sealed after the market opened in the morning. The investors had expected that the Gurney family would increase their stocks to stabilize the market, but they did not expect that no action was taken at all. On the contrary, the news that Francis owed a huge loan to the bank because he had failed in his investments began to spread wildly. A video of Francis being hospitalized twice was uploaded by the media. In order to stabilize the situation, the Gurney family said that Francis was just doing a routine check-up and they stated that they weren't in debt. They also sent a lawyer's letter to sue the person who had spread the rumours. In less than half an hour after the lawyer's letter was sent
