(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
(Leo's POV)"How did things turn out like this? Why am I the last person to know?!" I asked Alva very angrily.But Alva told me, "Leo, you've always hated Flora and Ada so much in the past, so I thought you wouldn't be so interested in this matter. Besides, I just learned about this news from Cody. He also told me that after all this, Flora doesn't care about you anymore…."After listening to Alva's words, my heart was full of remorse. Yes… I guess I was the one who made Ada like this… After three years of marriage, I never even went home, nor have I ever seen Flora and Ada once! People thought that I didn't care about Ada's life or death at all. That's why they wouldn't even bother telling me of her death. I didn't even notice that last night, my mother was in the same hospital as her… it was my negligence and fault led to this result!"Leo, don't worry about it too much. I know you will eventually find a way to deal with this and find your closure…." Alva comforted me carefully. But
(Abbi's POV)After Caitlyn Christian calmed down a little, I took her to the garden to comfort her, and after a few words of comfort, she urged me to do something to Flora again. Have I become her personal assassin at this point? Although I did say before about my plan to attack Flora, it was only a verbal attack. I would never think of inflicting physical harm on her! I didn't even know where Flora lived at the moment. She blocked my contact, and we're not friends anymore.At the moment, I could only agree with Caitlyn Christian and continued to soothe her heart, which was going crazy. But what I didn't expect was that Leo actually heard our conversation. He also warned me, "Listen, I don't care what you're planning, but I warn you, don't touch Flora! Otherwise, I'll make your life miserable!"I couldn't help it. I had been suppressed for too long, and I didn't want to be regarded as a bad person in front of Leo. So, I said angrily, "What about Ada? Ada is dead. Don't you want to do
(Flora's POV)For the first time, I didn't back down or be weak in front of Leo but stuck to my own ideas and practices. I told him that I must get a divorce. I was reminded of his mother killing my mother as soon as I saw him. I could no longer face him calmly. He was my enemy and would only be that way. I couldn't love him anymore.Alva came to see me off when I left the AM Group building.He opened his mouth in the elFlorator with just the two of us. He said, "Flora, I know you're uncomfortable right now, but I think, when you calm down a bit, just talk to Leo about your relationship, okay?""Am I talking to him about divorce for the first time today? I've been talking about it all the time. It's just that I was too talkative before, so I just held it off. Now, I don't care about anything. The person I care about most has died in the hospital bed, in the endless guilt of my marriage.""I'm sorry, Flora, but I want to tell you that Leo really cares about you and loves you very much.
