Abigail said, "You're right. So, don't worry."Emma did not want to talk about Ron anymore, nor did she want to allow herself to be influenced by him for nothing good. She asked, "Abigail, how are you and your husband?"Abigail said, "We're doing fine.""Give me a second. I have something to give you," Emma said as she hurried upstairs. She returned with a jewelry box and said, "Abigail, this is for you."Abigail took the box and asked, "What is it?"Emma said, "You'll know after you open it."Abigail opened the box and discovered a ruby necklace inside. The ruby was the size of a thumb. As Xander's assistant, Abigail possessed the basic ability to identify gemstones. The exceptional color and patterns of the ruby showcased its extraordinary value to everyone.Abigail dared not accept such a precious gift and said, "Emma, you shouldn't give me such an expensive gift. Look, I came to visit you without even bringing a fruit basket."Emma specially prepared this gift for Abigail.
After Emma withdrew her gaze, her tears burst out when she turned around. The emotions she had suppressed for a long time finally erupted at this moment. While crying, she suddenly heard a deep male voice behind her say, "Ms. Blue..."Shortly after the driver drove Abigail out of the farm, several cars blocked their way. A man in a black suit knocked on Abigail's car window and said, "Ms. Renee, my boss invites you to the car over there."The car that the bodyguard mentioned was a Rolls-Royce Phantom. It was the epitome of luxury cars. Only a few people in the world could afford such a vehicle. Therefore, even without seeing the person inside the car, Abigail had a rough idea of who it was.Knowing she could not escape, Abigail walked to the car obediently. She opened the door and asked, "Mr. Hagrid, what do you want?"Ron's strikingly handsome face appeared before her. He said with a half-smile, "Ms. Renee, please rest assured. You're Xander's person. I wouldn't dare to harm you.
Abigail was sure that Ron had come for Emma, but she did not know why he pretended not to know Emma."Ms. Renee, please!" said Ron, seemingly extending an invitation. However, in reality, he left Abigail with no choice. Whether she wanted to or not, she had to go inside.In desperation, Abigail could only follow Ron to a private room in the restaurant. Ron even considerately took her coat and hung it up. "Ms. Renee, I inquired about your preferences from Mr. Zane. So I've already ordered the dishes. I hope you'll like them."Abigail said, "So, should I thank you, Mr. Hagrid?""We're on the same side. Ms. Renee, you don't have to be so formal with me." Ron took off his coat and hung it up. Then, he lit a cigarette and took a few slow puffs. "What kind of wine would you like to drink?"Abigail said, "I don't want to drink."Ron asked, "Are you afraid I'll take advantage of you after I drink you under the table?"Abigail said, "One should never intend to hurt others but should alwa
The more Ron listened, the more annoyed he became. He said to Abigail, "You trust Mr. Zane so much. Could it be that you've fallen in love with him?"'I treat Emma so well, but she's always thinking of escaping from me. Abigail didn't even know she was Xander's wife, yet she trusted him so much. People really shouldn't be compared. Otherwise, it'll just infuriate people.'Abigail's reason for her trust was simple. "Mr. Zane is my boss. If I don't trust him, should I trust you then?"Ron said, "You're evading the real question."Abigail admitted frankly, "I admire him! How can I not admire such an outstanding person? However, it's just admiration between a subordinate and a boss, not romantic feelings between a man and woman.""Are you sure your feelings for Xander don't involve romantic feelings between a man and woman?" Ron hoped what Abigail said was true. Among the four of them, Lucas and Alwyn had happy marriages. He would be the only one feeling lonely if Xander's marriage wa
Ron flicked off the cigarette ash and took a casual puff. He said to Abigail, "You can leave. I'll have someone invite Emma to dine with me.""Mr. Hagrid, are you even a human being?" Abigail could not stay calm anymore when Emma was mentioned. She slammed her hand heavily on the table. "Even if Emma left you, she was once the woman who shared your bed. She even carried your child. Why can't you give her freedom but instead keep haunting her?"Ron's eyes darkened. "So, you do know she's my wife? I thought you didn't know. Since you know, why do you interfere in our matters?""I don't care. Do you want me to watch Emma die before my eyes?" Abigail still could not bear to recall the scene of Emma's miscarriage that day. It suffocated her every time she thought about it. She said, "Mr. Hagrid, have you forgotten what happened on New Year's Day? Emma almost lost her life. Do you want to see her die in front of you before you're satisfied?""I don't care whether she's alive or dead. All
Xander instinctively opened his arms and wanted to embrace Abigail as she ran toward him. However, her words, "Mr. Zane", instantly pulled him back to his senses. He looked at her from head to toe and asked, "Did he bully you?"Abigail shook her head. "Mr. Hagrid just invited me to have a meal."After confirming that Abigail was fine, Xander said softly, "You go out and wait for me."Abigail nodded. "Okay."As Abigail left and closed the door, Xander's gentle gaze turned fiercely sharp as he looked at Ron. If looks could kill, Ron would already die under his gaze."Xander, why are you here?" Ron acted as if nothing had happened and handed a cigarette to Xander. "I haven't seen you smoke recently. Did you quit?"Xander did not take the cigarette. He said, "Abigail doesn't like me smoking."Ron sneered, "She doesn't even know she's your wife. Why would she care if you smoke or not?""She doesn't know, but you do. Yet you dare to interfere with her." Xander's voice turned deep. "R
"Whether my wife is steadfast to me or not, that's a matter between me and her. There's no need for you to test her on my behalf," said Xander. He felt happy that Abigail was able to reject Ron firmly. At the same time, he realized that if Ron intentionally tested Abigail for him, he would not agree with this approach.'I'm Abigail's husband. I'm the person who'll accompany her through the remaining decades of her life. Whatever Abigail said or did, I should unconditionally believe in her and support her.'Ron laughed again. "Did I mention you and your wife? I was talking about Abigail and her husband."Xander raised his eyebrows. "What's the difference?"Ron patted his shoulder. "Xander, let me remind you. Abigail is loyal and steadfast to her husband, not necessarily to you. To Abigail, you're just her superior, nothing more."Ron understood Xander well, and every word he said struck Xander's heart."You take care of your own affairs. My affairs don't need your concern," said X
Abigail opened her eyes and saw it was the bank card she had given to Emma. She became anxious immediately. "Mr. Zane, why do you have this card? Did something happen to Emma?""I've arranged for someone to take Emma away. As long as I don't say anything, Ron won't be able to find her in the short term." Since Ron dared to provoke Abigail, Xander would have to show Ron some consequences. He could not let Ron think that Abigail was easy to bully.Abigail asked worriedly, "Where did you take her to? Why did you give me the card back? She just settled in Neese. Now, she needs to start over in a new place. She needs money for everything and can't use her own card. What is she using to survive?"Xander took Abigail's phone and entered a new phone number. He then handed the phone back to her and said, "This is her new contact number. After getting off the plane, you can call her yourself.""Mr. Zane, has Emma really escaped from Ron? Is she truly free now?" Abigail stared at Xander inten
