Chapter 580

Mallory continued: [Mr. Hagrid asked me to act it out together with that man. He even threatened me that if I didn't perform convincingly, he'd let that man have his way with me. So, to save myself, I had to give it my all when I acted.

[I thought Mr. Hagrid did this to make Xander's wife see. I didn't expect you to come. I still can't figure out why he did that.]

Abigail replied: [You'll understand that soon.]

Abigail thought, 'So many things happened that night. He had so much that he could tell me. But when I questioned him, he didn't even give me any reasons.

'He just asked me if I was willing to believe him. He told me he trusted me, and he hoped that I could trust him too. Sometimes, his world is that simple. It's so simple that it's somewhat laughable.'

Mallory: [Abigail, I didn't want to lie to you when you asked me about it that day. But Mr. Hagrid didn't allow me to tell you. I was afraid that if I told you, he'd do something bad to me.]

Abigail: [I understand.]
