Abigail hugged Cassandra's hand and refused to let go."Grandma, you told me we can't control what others say about us and that we should focus on our own lives. Why do you suddenly care about things like etiquette?" she asked.Cassandra leaned close to Abigail's ear and whispered, "Abigail, you silly girl. Do you think I'd let you follow another family's etiquette? I'm just putting on a show. If people buy it, they won't even be able to find fault in us if they wanted to."Abigail was amused by her grandmother's words."You really do love me the most, Grandma."Cassandra replied, "You're my one and only precious granddaughter. Who do I love if not you?"Margaret complained, "Stop whispering behind my back! I'm about to get jealous.""Alright. We'll stop. Let's get into business and have a chat with the kids," said Cassandra."By the way, Grandma. You still haven't told me what you went out to buy."Cassandra replied mysteriously, "You'll find out soon."Margaret called out,
Since she could not refuse, Abigail could only accept the card. "Thank you, Grandma!"The people of the Zane family were so generous that they had the habit of gifting bank cards when they meet someone. When they were registering for their wedding two years ago, Xander also stuffed a bank card into her hands and left. However, the limitless black credit card was not the only gift Margaret gave Abigail.The old woman lifted her arm, and the butler respectfully brought a platter covered in red cloth. On top of the fabric were a few real estate title deed certificates. She placed the documents in Abigail's hand. Margaret said, "Abigail, this real estate certificate is for a villa at Casa Del Mar. These two are for housing units at The HC Residences. There are also these that are shop lots in some of the prime areas. As an old lady, I can't remember all the detailed addresses. They're all written on the certificates. When you have the time to take a look, I can arrange for someone to bri
Cassandra said, "Both of you are legal husband and wife who already have their marriage certificate, but you lack a traditional marriage ceremony. I've always regretted it, but today, I have gifted both of you the dragon and phoenix bangles. I want to borrow the meaning behind the dragon and phoenix to wish that the both of you would have a baby soon and live happily ever after!"Abigail accepted them with both her hands. "Thank you, Grandma! As husband and wife, we also wish both grandmas a healthy and long life. May you grow younger as the days go by."After the simple gifting session was done, it was time to eat. Before she went to the table, Abigail made an excuse so that she could go to the bathroom. While hiding in the bathroom, she secretly sent a message to Justin: [Mr. York, I have another piece of information that can rake in a lot of cash. Do you have the guts to publish it?]Justin replied: [I've told you before, Lucky Charm. I wouldn't dare to publish anything that has
Xander did not speak further and just stared at her. Abigail's heart trembled from the staring. "I'm busy earning money."She raised her phone and truthfully showed him her chat logs. "Justin is still waiting for my message. Could you first let me go?"Xander's sharp eyes were able to spot her praising him for his good looks. He chuckled. "You can do this type of thing openly. There's no need to hide in the bathroom like you're a thief."Abigail answered him, "I was worried you might get angry."Xander asked her, "You're afraid I would be angry?"Abigail did not bother with him as her attention was back on her phone. She sent the newly taken picture to Justin and typed: [You can send them without worry. Write them as eye-catchingly as possible. I'll bear any consequences and not let you be implicated in this.]With Abigail's promise, Justin was not so worried. He texted: [As long as you keep to your word, I'll definitely write the headline as eye-catchingly as possible. I'm going
After finishing their meal, Margaret and Cassandra exchanged glances. They could not wait to have the couple return to their room to rest. They wished from the bottom of their hearts that the couple would be successful in making a baby and allow them to have the chance to hold their great-grandchild.Margaret said, "We're full, and it's getting late. Xander, bring Abigail back to your room and rest. It's Saturday tomorrow so there's no need to go to work. Both of you can sleep in for a while longer."Abigail saw it was late and replied, "Then I'll be returning to the apartment that I'm renting first, Grandma."Margaret pulled a face and said thoughtfully, "Where are you going back to? You're a member of the Zane family. The Zane family has plenty of houses to stay in, and you still want to return to your rented apartment unit. Other people might assume we're bullying you if this goes out.""Abigail, I'm afraid you haven't figured out that this place of ours is also your home. We ha
Abigail followed Xander to the courtyard for a stroll. The weather was particularly hot today. Once they exited the air-conditioned house, a heat wave crashed into them even though it was nighttime.Xander usually did not sweat so much. He did not know what was wrong today, but he was sweating profusely after walking no more than two steps. His whole body was soaked in sweat after a short while, and he called out, "Abigail..."After he shouted Abigail's name, his whole body felt like its strength dissipated. He missed a step and was about to fall toward the floor. Thankfully, Abigail's reaction was swift enough, and she held onto his huge body with her tiny physique. "What's wrong with you?"Xander answered, "I might be dehydrated. Help me sit down at the side."Abigail quickly helped him to sit on the stones at the flower bed. Only then did she notice Xander's odd condition. He was red from the face down to the neck. She said, "Dehydrated, weak, and unable to walk? Sweating all ov
It took a while for Keith to receive Abigail's reply: [Mr. Jackman, is there something important? If not, can we talk tomorrow? I'm with my husband now and need to deal with something.]Upon seeing Abigail's reply, Keith's worldview shattered once again.'This girl is such a player! She's fooling around with the boss at work and then spending time with her husband after work. She's having her cake and eating it too! Don't they worry about getting caught by their partners? Or perhaps they have no fear of being discovered at all! They seem intentionally to be high-profile to make others aware of their affair. Then, they'll be together openly and drive away the original mate to achieve their hidden intentions.'Keith's mind began to imagine a dramatic scene again.As soon as Abigail had replied to Keith's message, she received another one from Justin: [Abigail, our post has hit the top of the trending list again. It looks like this news is going to create a big buzz. Your boss, Mr. Za
Cassandra and Margaret stood on either side, pressing their heads against the door. If Abigail did not open the door gently, they both would have taken a big tumble. A severe fall could be life-threatening at their age. Abigail felt extremely scared just thinking about it.However, Cassandra and Margaret acted as if nothing had happened. "Abigail, have you and Xander rested? We've made some smoothies. Would you and Xander like to come downstairs and have some? Or should we have someone bring it to your room?"Abigail could understand their eagerness to have a great-grandchild. It did not matter how much fuss they made, but Abigail could not allow them to do anything unsafe. She did not think she could bear losing any more of her loved ones.So Abigail put on a serious expression and said, "Grandmas, what are you doing? You're both at such an old age. Can't you be more careful? What should I do if something happens because you fall?"Margaret seemed uneasy and kept her head down. "A
