(Flora's POV)I ran away. Indeed, I had promised Leo that I would be his wife, but I was eventually scared to face reality. I was afraid that we would be inseparable once he knew I was his mate. I had sacrificed three years of my life for him and lost so much. I really can't afford to lose any more now. I hugged Iggy and went back to our rental house.It turned out that George and Mable Bell were drinking and chatting on the lawn. Both of them waved happily to me when they saw me coming back.As soon as we faced each other, Mable Bell said, "Flora, you know someone always waits until you come home, so I have to put myself out to feed mosquitoes every night."I glanced at George. 'So, he was waiting for me every night after I left?'George smiled and replied casually, "I was bored because I didn't get to see Iggy.""Haha, then you won't be bored now. You don't need me anymore, and I have to go to work tomorrow. I'll go to bed early. You two can talk," Mable Bell said and quickly left t
(Flora's POV)I went to the top floor and saw Leo. He was wearing an open-chested shirt, exposing his muscular body generously to anyone.There were dozens of models around him, all smiling and cheering with him, and a few were bold enough to lean on his shoulders, stroking his chest muscles. Seeing such a scene, I felt like my heart was stabbed.“As you can see, ma'am!” Abbi Miller shouted out in surprise.I glanced at her. “Maybe it's time for you to mind your business.” I hate her more and more now.“I am now personally appointed by Irina as Leo's assistant. My job is to mind his business. By the way, you know what I just went downstairs for? I went to buy this,” Abbi Miller said, showing off some kind of small rubber box, shaking it in front of me, and sighing.“Oh, so many women, I don't know if these are enough. Maybe I have to buy a few more for him.”At this moment, I could not wait to give her a punch. However, just when I wanted to take action, Leo looked over and stopped he
(Abbi's POV)Leo's mood today was terrible.As soon as I entered the company, I saw all my colleagues panicking. After encountering Alva, he told me, “Leo's mood is very bad now. I suggest you not appear in front of him today.”“But, what if I can solve his problem?” I ignored Alva's advice and walked into his office. I knocked on the door and said, “I am the assistant Caitlyn Christian has arranged for you.”Leo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and didn't look back at me. He said, “Get out.”“The data of NK Media overseas has false situations. Once we find evidence, once we find evidence, we will be able to not only suspend the contract but also charge George, the main person in charge, with data falsification.” I hoped the news that Mable Bell told me was true.Leo finally turned his head and glanced at me. His eyes were a little dissatisfied as he asked, “Why you?”“Because I'm the one who is willing to dig up such private information for you,” I told him directly into
(Leo's POV)Finally, I returned to the city. After getting the evidence of George's data falsification, my heart finally settled because I knew Flora wouldn't leave me anymore.But before that, she should be punished for her change of heart. So, I asked Abbi Miller to arrange a party and prepare to punish her. I wanted to see to what extent she could put up with George.However, my heart was irritated when I saw her care for George. Was George so important to her that she willingly stayed here and heard so many ugly words without saying a word?I couldn't stand it anymore, so I let her drink champagne and asked her to tell the truth. When I saw her throwing her fist at me, I wanted to laugh because I knew that she finally couldn't bear it anymore.It turned out that George was not so important to her. When I was going to catch her, a woman pulled her hair and pulled her down. Because of that, Flora fell in front of me and fainted.I was almost crazy when I saw that. "What are you doin
(Abbi's POV)The plan was going well. As soon as Leo left, I looked at Caitlyn Christian, who was now lying on the hospital bed, and let out a grin. Since the man was no longer here, we could carry out our plan. This hospital also took care of Flora's mother, Ada. The moment I learned Flora's mother was also here, Caitlyn Christian and I were planning to kill that old woman.Unfortunately, the hospital's security in the critically-ill area was extremely strict. Without the mutual consent of the doctor and the patient, there was absolutely no way for people to visit them privately. Therefore, we had planned to find any reason to get hospitalized. Thank goodness luck was on our side as Caitlyn Christian sent herself straight to the emergency room because she had attacked herself. Since we were now in the ICU room, which was on the same floor as the critically-ill area, our plan to kill her became easier. We could find a way to sneak up to kill her when the nurse changed shifts. As soo
(Flora's POV)I woke up from what seemed to be a long sleep, but I was still dizzy. Then, I looked around. Where was this place? I didn't know about this place. Yet, I could see that my clothes and mobile phone were well placed. After I checked, I picked up the mobile phone and glanced at it. There were lots of missed calls. All of them were from George. Just then, the phone rang again."Flora, how's it going on your side?" George asked me.I could only tell him the truth, "I don't know very well. Before Leo asked me to drink champagne before he was willing to talk to me about you, I was drunk.""He didn't do anything to you, did he?""No, I'm fine. I just woke up," I told George.Unexpectedly, George actually told me what happened next, "If you didn't talk to him about anything, you don't need to talk at all. I have found out what evidence he has about us, and now that the corresponding server has been destroyed, he can't do anything anymore. As for the further investigation, the cou
(Flora's POV)I rushed to the hospital as fast as I could to meet my mother.As soon as I saw her dying, tears rolled down my eyes. "Mom, don't go. Don't leave me alone, please. Will you stay?"She looked at me and even cried, "No... Flora... I can't stay to hurt you anymore.""You didn't hurt me. You are my mom. How could you hurt me? Mom, I beg you not to die. Don't die, okay?" I couldn't stop my tears.In fact, I had made psychological preparations before, thinking of how I would face the day when it finally came. But when it really came to that day, I still thought it came too suddenly. I didn't want to face, nor could I face the fact that my mother was dying.At that time, my mother took my hand. It made me suddenly worried because I had returned the diamond ring to Leo."Flora... I'm sorry. I thought that... Letting you marry Leo... It was to make you happy, but I didn't think you paid so much to make me happy... He doesn't love you at all, does he?""No, we're fine. I didn't we
(Abbi's POV)Ada was dead.When Eleanor and I were discharged from the hospital in the morning, we saw the nurse calling Flora.For a moment, I felt very guilty. I felt like I had killed someone.But Ada was a cancer patient, after all. She would die in the hospital sooner or later. What I did, perhaps, was just to end her pain earlier.That excuse made me feel much better. But I didn't expect that Flora would start to fight back just two hours later.Cody even officially informed Eleanor of the divorce. She was so angry that she almost demolished the whole sanatorium.After receiving the news, I hurried to ask Leo to leave. "I'm sorry, Leo. Something happened to Eleanor. I want to see it.""What happened to her again?" Leo asked me back.But I didn't want him to know that Ada was dead and Flora wanted to fight back. I only said vaguely, "I don't know for the time being. I won't know why until I get there.""Alright. Go and look at her first. You don't have to come to the company unti
