Abigail had no choice but to sit down and continue the topic just now. "I've been working by your side for less than a year, and I've already seen women who pass you notes, women who give you flirtatious looks, women who throw themselves at you, women like Winnie who pursue you straightforwardly, and more."At the level of wealth and status that Xander had, even though his fame for staying away from women was well-known by everyone, there were still all sorts of people trying to send women toward him every day.To put it nicely, they offered women as a plaything to Xander. However, ultimately it was just a temptation and trap. Once he made a mistake and got caught, some things would be subject to the whims of others.Over the years, Xander had dealt with these things many times. No matter how he handled those people, there were always those who would take the risk and try again. Therefore, he had not yet found a way to eliminate others sending women to him permanently.Xander was i
After the drugging incident, Xander eliminated all the spies that Jane had planted in Chrysalis. Therefore, she had no way of knowing about the current situation between Xander and Abigail. Unexpectedly, the next she heard about Xander was that he had gotten married. It caused a stir. The announcement of Xander's marriage indicated that he knew his registered wife was his assistant, Abigail.Jane looked at the snow outside the window and sighed. "Do I really have to allow that woman who doesn't belong in high society into the Zane family?"Forest, who was by her side, immediately replied, "Madam, you don't have to be so worried. Although our spies have been eliminated, we're not the only ones who dislike Abigail. So, someone will naturally deal with her."Jane said, "Tell me whatever you know."Forest said, "Do you remember the Cooper family's concubine?"Jane nodded. "Just get to the point."Forest continued, "The Cooper family has declined over the years, and the concubine's li
Mallory covered her beaten face and dared not make a sound. 'I'm the only daughter of the Guzman family. Everyone thinks I'm the princess of this family and spoiled by them. However, how many people know what I've experienced in this family?'Max was even more furious as Mallory remained silent. He raised his hand and was about to slap her again. "Are you mute?"Mallory shivered and dodged backward. "Max, you can rest assured. I'll continue to keep in touch with her. I'll do whatever you want me to do, and I'll never question again in the future."Max withdrew his hand. "You're so close to Esther. Won't you ask her about who Xander's wife is?"Mallory huddled up and said in a quavery voice, "I did, but Esther hasn't met her sister-in-law yet. She doesn't know what she looks like, let alone her name."Max was so angry that he wanted to slap her again. "Esther hasn't met her, won't you abet her to meet her? She's Xander's sister. Can Xander kill her?"Mallory said, "I'll contact he
Abigail raised her eyebrows and said, "Is what Mr. Zach wants me to do related to Mr. Zane?""It's always nice to deal with smart people." Rowan gave her an appreciative look and continued, "After the dinner tonight, find a way to send a woman to Mr. Zane's room for me. Your responsibility is just getting the person in. Whether the plan succeeds, the villa in Mangrove Bay is yours."'Mr. Zane has already announced his marriage, yet there are still people trying to send him women with such despicable methods. How can there be people without any boundaries in this world?'Abigail replied calmly, "Mr. Zach, Mr. Zane is married."Rowan disagreed. "With Mr. Zane's status, being married is nothing. As long as he crooks his fingers, countless women will still come to him willingly. Ms. Renee, no man in this world doesn't love money, power, and beauty. If you help me, you surely will get benefits in the future.""Of course I want benefits, but... I trust Mr. Zane's abilities more. If I be
Rowan gritted his teeth in pain. "Xander, don't be too overboard. Otherwise, no one will have a good end.""Do you think you're qualified to be my opponent?" Xander gave Rowan a contemptuous look and left with an elegant stride.Rowan clenched his fists angrily. "We'll see about that!"Abigail secretly glanced at Xander when he returned to the hall. However, she could not tell his emotions. "Mr. Zane, you must have heard just now. I didn't get bribed by him."Xander looked at her. "Is it because you're afraid of me?"Abigail shook her head. "No. It's because I respect you. Besides, I would never do anything to hurt your wife. No one can destroy the love between you two."As they chatted, Xander asked suddenly, "Where do you like residential properties in Florivera?"Abigail liked both residential properties in those two areas that Rowan mentioned just now. However, liking and being able to afford them were two different matters. So, she smiled without answering. "Mr. Zane, the m
Abigail double-checked her message after typing it out. Before she hit [send], she suddenly heard Xander's voice saying, "Your husband gave you a property. Why didn't you take it?"Abigail was startled. "Ah. You're still here, Mr. Zane?" They were the only ones left in the room. "Answer my question." Xander was an assertive man, but Abigail had her way around him. "Please don't ask about my personal matters, Mr. Zane."Xander was quiet. He suddenly wanted to kiss her for having a silver tongue.Abigail forgot to send out the text following the interruption. She lay in bed and picked up her phone after having dinner and a shower, ready to chat with Melody and Felix, when she saw the message she had typed out earlier. She then clicked the send button, and Xander received the text.Xander had also just gotten out of the shower and was lying in bed. He read what she wrote and replied: [We're legally married! That's why I'm giving you the residential property.]The response pulled on A
Abigail was mad that Nathan assumed she was cheating on him and asked for a divorce without giving her a chance to explain herself. 'The most basic element in a relationship is trust. If he can't do that, I don't see the need to save this marriage,' she thought.Without waiting for Nathan's reply, Abigail sent another message: [Thanks for telling me the truth, Nathan. But I'm as much to blame as you. Marriage isn't a game, yet we have treated it like one. Let's not make the same mistake anymore and just end this.]Abigail put down her phone and stared blankly at the ceiling after the text was sent. The image of that rainy night from many years ago crept back into her mind. She remembered the man's cold and emotionless voice, saying, "I know about all the nasty things you've done, Abigail. There's no way I'm letting you ruin my family name. The next time you see me, act like you don't know me."Abigail smiled at the thought of that. 'What do these people take me for? Am I just some d
After Xander learned that Abigail was his wife, he became more determined to build a life with her."Okay, okay. Whatever you say." Lucas suspected that Xander, who had never been in love before, had not fully opened up. 'Maybe he only has a tiny crush on his assistant and not to the extent of love. Since he wants to work things out with his wife, I should be supportive as a friend, right?'"Tell me about the conflict between you and your wife so I can better advise you."Xander was silent for a while. It was long enough for Lucas to press him once more. Xander finally revealed, "I just discovered the other day that my assistant is actually my wife.""What the hell? These things only exist in movies! I can't believe something like this is happening to you in real life."Xander stayed quiet. "So you wanted to get divorced because you had a crush on your assistant, but now you don't want the divorce anymore because she's your wife? That's such a shitty move, Xander! You're a scumbag
