"Who the heck are you? Do you know we can sue you for spreading rumors, slandering, and defamation?"Malcolm and Abigail spent most of their time together bickering with each other. Both of them did not find each other pleasing to their eyes. But when an outsider tried to bully and defame Abigail, he was the first one to defend her.He continued, "Shawn, you're a lawyer. Tell this vicious woman how many years she can be sentenced to in the most severe case for slandering and defamation."Shawn was very cooperative. "It depends on how serious the matter is and the impact the rumormonger has on the reputation and life of the victim."The woman in black came prepared. She was not afraid of anyone. "Since there's a lawyer among you, please tell this thief what the punishment for theft is. Will stealing something worth 200 million dollars result in a longer sentence?"She did not allow anyone to have the chance to speak. She gave a sidelong glance at Abigail to size her up. "You seem l

Malcolm grabbed Abigail. "Abigail, let's go. Just ignore them."Abigail had been quiet. She just silently watched the drama at the scene.When the unfamiliar woman approached them with a group of people and accused her of stealing, Abigail had already realized this missing necklace incident was very likely set up by Daisy to frame her.Abigail thought if she was not mistaken, the necklace that Daisy lost must now be inside somewhere related to her.She was wearing a dress that had no pockets. So, the necklace would not be on her now.The only possible place that the necklace would appear would be inside the handbag that she was carrying with her.Abigail pondered, 'But I've been carrying this bag with me. I almost never lost sight of it.'No... I did lose sight of it.'When I met Mallory at the lounge, she accidentally knocked my bag off the tea table. And she was the person who picked it up for me.'Before she left just now, she even randomly apologized to me.'After Abigail

Abigail cast a frosty gaze over the crowd, speaking slowly but forcefully. "Why the hell should I, the accused, be the one to prove my innocence? Who said that I must clear my name whenever I'm accused of something? Will I ever get a peaceful day again? If a dog barks at me in the street, am I supposed to prove that I didn't rob its house?"Abigail's logic came as an unexpected surprise to the woman clad in black. The woman turned, seeking help from Max. Max knew too well that Abigail had a tough and stubborn streak; she would not let anyone search her bag easily. Fortunately, he was not hell-bent on searching her bag. He looked at the necklace barely visible around her neck. "Could you please undo your collar and show us your necklace, Ms. Renee?""You want to see my necklace? Who do you think you are?" At that moment, Abigail was nearly certain that her necklace was the legendary Astre Eternel. From her first day working with Xander, Keith had told her that Xander had specifically

Max growled. "Let's check her handbag."Malcolm countered. "You call the cops! Let them handle this."Max glared at Malcolm. "You think I wouldn't, huh?"Malcolm shrugged. "Be my guest!""Before the cops get here, no one leaves. Everyone, stay put." Max pulled out his cell, called the police, and briefly explained the situation. Then, he shot a menacing glance at Abigail and the rest and stalked off.The cops would not arrive for a while, and the spectators began to scatter; some grabbed food and drinks to refuel themselves for the next act of the drama. Once the crowd thinned, Abigail and her companions found a place to sit.Shawn glanced at the necklace on Abigail's neck; half of it peeked out from under her clothes. He leaned close to Abigail and murmured, "Is there a star pendant on your necklace?"Abigail nodded.Shawn exclaimed, "Damn! You're the one with the real Astre Eternel, aren't you?"It turns out the man who dropped $200 million on a necklace for his wife a year

Malcolm was usually laid-back and seemed haphazard, but he was rock-solid when needed. So, Abigail trusted him with the most crucial part of their retaliation against the Guzman family. "I'm counting on you, Malcolm.""Don't sweat it. I won't let you down." Malcolm assured her, patting Abigail on the shoulder with vigor. "Once this is sorted, introduce me to your husband, will you?" He was curious about the man who had won over a woman as remarkable as Abigail—a man who could make her ignore any other suitor, no matter how appealing."Sure, I'll introduce you.""It's a deal then."Abigail nodded. "It's a deal!" Once Malcolm left, Abigail rubbed her sore shoulder, grimacing from the strength of his pat. "How can this goof have such strength?""That's why he's a goof—such a lack of charm. If he weren't a Cobain heir, he'd be single." Shawn chuckled."Do you have a girlfriend, Atty. Cooper?" Abigail asked."I must admit, you are one cool cucumber. The fire is at our doorstep, and i

Abigail chuckled. "It's not that he's lucky to have me. He's such a fantastic and devoted guy; he'd be happy no matter who he married."Those words made Shawn look at Abigail with new respect. The first time he met Abigail, he was delivering divorce papers to her. He had thought she had been unfaithful, so he did not have the best impression of her. Back then, he thought of her as nothing more than a pretty face with no substance. However, every time he saw her afterward, she gave him a different impression; she was empathetic, cultured, and capable."If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask," Shawn said."Just stay with me and back me up. That's all I need.""I've suddenly become curious.""Curious about what?" Abigail asked."You and Xander—who's on top?"Both of them were strong characters with powerful abilities. In their work relationship, Xander undoubtedly took the dominant role. But at home, in their marital relationship, who called the shots? Xander usually gave orde

Witnessing Abigail remove the necklace from her bag, the gathered guests started whispering. "Is Mr. Zane's assistant really a thief?""That can't be right. I've heard that Mr. Zane is particularly strict with his subordinates. If she were dishonest, she would've been kicked out by now.""Maybe she never stole before. Seeing a $200 million necklace might've been too tempting; she just couldn't resist."Max, quite satisfied with the guests' reaction, asked the police, "Officers, how do you plan to handle this?"Abigail interrupted Max, her tone casual as ever. "Let's not rush to judgment, Mr. Guzman. Can we first confirm this is indeed the necklace Daisy lost?""Bring it closer, and let me see," Max said.Displaying a calm and pleasant composure, Abigail extended the necklace toward Max. After an intense inspection, he confirmed. "Yes, this is Astre Eternel, the necklace my stepmother lost. Now, I'd really like to see how you'll talk out of this one."Abigail replied faintly, "Th

"I've told you time and time again, Max," Gavin began, his voice a stern reprimand, "If you fancy a girl, you pursue her like a gentleman. If she says no, you back off. You don't pester her, and you sure as hell don't pull the kind of stunt you did today.""Dad, you—" Max began to question but was silenced as Gavin's hand swung out, landing a heavy slap across his cheek. The impact was so forceful it left the vivid imprint of fingers on his skin, clear for all nearby to see."Dad, what's gotten into you?""You bloody fool!" Gavin roared. "You're not a child anymore, and you've done a stupid thing. Apologize to Ms. Renee right now and beg her forgiveness.""Dad—"Another slap. "I told you to apologize, damn it!" Gavin growled, leaning in and lowering his voice. "That woman Abigail may have made her way into Xander's bed. This is serious. You better apologize to her immediately. Once Xander discards her, we can deal with her properly."The idea of apologizing to a mere assistant di
