Abigail asked, "How will I know who's trying to frame me if I don't check it out?"Keith said, "Will you know if you see the news?"Abigail answered, "Maybe.""I've been working with you for a year. I know you aren't this kind of person. But I'm not so sure about Mr. Zane. You should quickly figure out a way to handle this. If Mr. Zane knows about this and just fires you without giving you a chance to explain, what are your plans for the future?" Keith looked for the links as he nagged. He suddenly stopped talking.After a few seconds, he spoke again, "Gone! They're all gone! Everything is gone!"Abigail asked, "What's gone?"Keith said, "When I called you, those slandering news about you were still all over the internet. But just within the short time I'm on the phone with you, I can't find any news about you online anymore. The links our colleagues sent earlier, when I clicked into them, the contents have all been changed. It's not that the contents have become unavailable. The
Keith was lost in his thoughts. 'No wonder Mr. Zane looked unhappy and asked me to look in the mirror when I thought Abigail was interested in me back then.'I finally know why Mr. Zane didn't listen to me but listened to everything that Abigail said.'No wonder when Abigail was drunk back then, Mr. Zane stayed in her room all night.'Everything that was unexplainable previously now made sense to Keith.He thought, 'Mr. Zane is still the principled man that I know. He's never messed around.'Xander and Abigail were still talking over the phone. But Keith did not dare to eavesdrop any longer. He quickly ended the call before lifting his hand to slap himself.He pondered, 'For the past two days, I had cursed them countless times and called them a disgusting couple.'Luckily, I only scolded them in my mind and not to their faces. Otherwise...'He then quickly recalled the past year. He realized that he had never done anything bad or inappropriate to Abigail.Not only did he not b
Xander continued, "None of us should feel embarrassed just because you're a victim. Victim blaming is the most absurd thing I've ever known. The ones who should feel ashamed, be criticized, and be legally punished are the offenders."Abigail stared at him as she listened to his low, deep voice. She felt as if time had turned back to a year ago when she was sexually harassed during work. He had said the same thing to her.She thought, 'He told me the one in the wrong was the person who sexually harassed me, not me.'Many times, this society is extremely unfriendly toward females.'For example, when a girl's photos of wearing a skirt were posted online without her consent, the one who should be criticized was the person who took and spread those pictures. However, there were many people online who blamed the girl for dressing too provocatively. They said no one would have taken those photos if she'd worn pants instead of a skirt.'Abigail sniffed. She snuggled into his arms. "Why di
Ben respectfully responded, "Ms. Hart, I just returned from studying abroad. I'm working at Supermoon Tech, a Florivera-based emerging tech company. Recently, our company has been working with the Zane Corporation. I even met Mr. Zane yesterday."Margaret thought, 'A company that can work with the Zane Corporation must be quite good. I'm glad that this kid is working in a good company and doesn't want to just solely rely on his family's wealth.' She responded, "Your son has grown up and has a good job."Gemma said, "Well, he's doing all right. But compared to your grandson, he's very far behind."Upon hearing Gemma compliment Xander, Margaret responded without any modesty, "Xander is exceptionally outstanding. Indeed, there are very few who can match him.""Yes, yes..." Gemma supported Margaret as they walked to the house. She continued, "Ms. Hart, are you planning to live in Florivera permanently or just stay here for a few days before going back to Southcrest?"Margaret said, "S
Gemma said, "This is the Zane family's company. It isn't a big deal even if Xander wants to give his wife some special treatment. Who dares to say a single word about it?"Ben nudged Gemma before intentionally speaking in hesitation, "Ms. Hart, there's a matter regarding Ms. Renee that I'm not sure if I should tell you."Margaret asked, "What is it?"Ben took his phone out and showed Margaret a picture. "This incident went viral on the internet this afternoon. Everyone in the country probably knows about it."When Margaret saw the girl in the photos was Abigail, she trembled with anger. "Who the heck edited these photos? When I find out who slanders Abigail, I'll kill that person."Ben responded, "Ms. Hart, is it possible that these photos are real?"Margaret was unhappy with him upon hearing it. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying you, an outsider, know better about my granddaughter-in-law than me? Abigail has good moral values. I'll surely ask Xander to find out who edite
Cassandra got angrier as she spoke. She grabbed a vase and was about to throw it at Ben. Luckily, Gemma reacted quickly. "This vase must be very expensive. Don't throw it. A few million dollars or even tens of millions of dollars will go to waste if you do that."To Gemma, it seemed like the expensive vase was more important than her son.After all, it was not Cassandra's property. She felt it would not be right if she destroyed it. So, she put it down. She pointed at Ben and continued scolding, "Little brat, you ended the relationship back then. Now when you see my granddaughter is living happily, you want to ruin her marriage. Tell me, what evil intentions do you have?""So, you're Abigail's grandmother. I've not met you back then. I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances." Ben calmly continued, "About the inappropriate things that your granddaughter did, I didn't make them up. I saw them online. Since you're here, why don't you tell Ms. Hart whether Abigail really did
Margaret initially provided them with jobs and projects, but the Yank family members were incapable of making anything work no matter what they attempted. Later, she started to give them a monthly allowance directly.The thing Margaret had in abundance was money. Regardless of how extravagant the Yank family's demands were, she could always satisfy their needs. She often ignored their greedy expressions and continued treating them as friends.Whenever the Yank family members came to Margaret and asked for money or something else, she always gave it to them. However, she never expected them to visit her this time to smear her beloved granddaughter-in-law. Putting on a pleasant expression would be nothing short of a miracle."Ms. Hart, what are you...?" Gemma saw Margaret's firm attitude and suddenly realized she probably should not have listened to her son and come here today.This visit not only yielded no benefits but also upset Margaret. Gemma wondered, 'Will she still give us th
After leaving the Zane residence's yard and getting into the car, Gemma looked at Ben, who was driving, with a worried expression. "Ben, was what we did today more trouble than it's worth?"Ben sneered, "Hmph, it's hard to tell whether it was worth it or just plain trouble now. Maybe Ms. Hart was just putting on a tough front saying she didn't believe it. However, she might have some doubts deep down. As long as we managed to instill skepticism in her mind, who knows what might happen in the future?"Gemma was still worried. "Ms. Hart has always shown respect to our family. I've been in contact with her for over twenty years. Every time I visit her, she always welcomes me with a smile. No matter how expensive the things are, she gives me anything I want as long as I ask. However, she gave us the order to leave this time. I'm afraid she won't give money to our family anymore."Ben complained, "She only gives us two to three hundred thousand dollars each month. That amount of money is
