Just as the message was sent, Xander's phone call came. Abigail immediately picked it up. "Mr. Zane...""Where have you reached?" Xander's tone had a slight hint of resignation.Abigail turned on her GPS and took a look. "Luther Street. I'll reach home in another two or three kilometers.""Mhm, hang up the call after you reach home." After he said this, his voice disappeared from the call.If she had not seen the numbers representing the amount of call time changing on the phone screen, she would have assumed he had hung up the call. It was a three-kilometer journey, and she would have arrived in a mere few minutes. The cab driver stopped the car opposite the road that led to the gate north of her neighborhood. He said, "Young lady, they're repairing the road up ahead. Cars won't be able to turn around, so you'll have to walk over.""That would be fine." Abigail scanned the QR code to pay. The driver then enthusiastically helped her carry her luggage off the car. Once he got in th
"If we dared to kidnap you, do you think we'd be scared of you calling the cops?" The man gave a cold chuckle and hung up the call. This time, he did not just seal her mouth with duct tape; he even took a black cloth to cover her head. This extinguished any hope Abigail had.These people were not even scared of the police and were definitely outlaws who had committed some major crimes. These outlaws did not fear the judgment of the law but were scared of people who were more ruthless than them. Abigail only knew of one man who was more ruthless than them: Xander Zane.Her call with him had not been hung up yet when she was being kidnapped just now. Did he notice the unusualness on her side? Would he risk offending some cold-blooded outlaws to save her, his assistant? Abigail did not know!She only knew that even if Xander was willing to save her, he would not be able to find her for a while. She had to think of a way to save herself or think of a way to let him know of her current l
"It's you!" Abigail accurately surmised that David was the mastermind behind this. She calmed down quickly and said, "David, if I'm not mistaken, you were just released from prison not long ago."David laughed hysterically as if he heard the funniest joke in the world. "Abigail, do you know who I am? Do you really think you can keep me in jail for a few months with such a small matter? Let me tell you the truth. I was released before dinnertime on the same day you sent me in. I didn't bother you before because of Mr. Zane."Abigail admitted that she was careless as she did not follow up on the David incident. "David, you can't override the law no matter who you are."David laughed savagely. "Haha! My uncle is Jerick Cooper, the head of the Cooper family, one of the Big Four Families in Florivera. Besides, my cousin is Shawn Cooper, the top lawyer in Florivera. In Florivera, who has the guts to detain me?""Shawn?" Abigail repeated the name.'David turned out to be Shawn's cousin!
David smirked. "If your husband's last name is Zane, Cobain, or Guzman, I can have someone check his identity. However, people with the last name Hart in Florivera can't hold a candle to me."Abigail sneered and splashed the liquid in the glass at David. "David, if you dare to lay a hand on me, I guarantee someone will make your life a living hell."Abigail had worked with David for a while, so she knew something about this disgusting man. He was a classic bully who feared the strong and preyed on the weak. As long as he believed she had powerful backers, he would send people to investigate, and she could win more time for herself. However, what Abigail did not expect was that this was not the first time David planned to kill her.David raised his hand to wipe the liquid off his face. Then, he asked someone to give him another glass of the unknown liquid and said, "You little slut. If your husband is as powerful as you said, why didn't he figure out I was behind the car accident las
David was unable to pour the liquid into Abigail's mouth. He was so angry that he pinched her chin tightly, hoping to pry her mouth open. Suddenly, Abigail made a hard thrust. It caused the glass in David's hand to be knocked over onto the ground."Get me the syringe." David was furious and forcefully pressed Abigail against the wall.Abigail struggled but could not escape. She could only watch her sleeve get torn off and a cold needle injected into her body. Abigail could feel the liquid in the syringe entering her body quickly. She asked, "What kind of drug did you inject me with?""A drug that'll make you thrilled to death tonight." David pulled out the needle and laughed wickedly. "Tell me, how do you feel now?"At first, Abigail felt a bit hot. Then, she felt dizzy, and her vision became blurry. Abigail could only see the general outline of the people. She was unable to distinguish the gender if the person standing in front of her remained silent.David licked his lips obscen
David was so scared that he wet himself. "No matter who she is, I won't dare to do it again.""She's Mr. Zane's wife!" Every word Paxton said was like a bullet hitting David's heart. "Tell me, why did you want to hurt her?""What? Are you saying that Abigail is Mr. Zane's wife?"'It turned out that Abigail didn't lie to me. It was just that I didn't believe her. If I had known earlier that Abigail is Mr. Zane's wife, I wouldn't dare to have designs on her even if others give me the guts to do so.'Paxton tightened his grip. "I'm asking you, why did you want to hurt her?"David said, "Because she took the job of Mr. Zane's executive assistant. I held a grudge against her and wanted to teach her a lesson.""You want to teach her a lesson?" Paxton lifted David and slammed him against the wall again.Everyone present was trembling with fear. No one dared to speak up. Paxton stopped when David's head was bleeding and he could not even beg for mercy. Then, Paxton immediately dialed a
However, Xander was scared today! An unprecedented panic permeated his whole being like poison, making him feel the suffocation of imminent death when he learned from the call that something had happened to Abigail. He did not know who had kidnapped her, and he could not find her."Abigail..." The hoarse words rolled out of his throat. At the same time, he slightly increased the strength of his embrace around her. "Believe me. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore in the future.""Xander, we've arrived," Dr. Sander called him but received no response. So she continued, "Xander, we're at the hospital. Let's put Abigail on the mobile bed."The word "Abigail" pulled Xander out of his thoughts. He carried Abigail into the hospital.The best doctors from all departments had gathered because of Xander's words. "If anything happens to her, all of you will lose your jobs."The look on Xander's face and his tone of voice not only made everyone believe that if anything happened to Abigail, th
Forest said, "Madam, I've thought about this. Rather than saying Mr. Zane was mesmerized, it'd be more appropriate to say he feels responsible. You know his temperament best. He either does things to his utmost or won't do it at all. Marriage should be the same for him in this regard. Since he promised to marry for Old Madam's sake, he'd definitely be responsible toward his wife.""Is it really just that?" asked Jane, no longer understanding the son that she had given birth to. That year when Zane Corporation was in a crisis, everyone from the Zane family thought they would lose majority shares of the company, yet the young Zane stood up and quickly retook the authority over Zane Corporation. No one had expected that outcome, not even his own mother.Forest replied, "I believe so."Jane smiled with disdain. "The Zane family has all kinds of characteristics. Ambitious, and vengeful are just a few of them. Never have I seen one responsible for their wife. Just like his father, who nev
