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
Abigail grasped the keyword "become beside herself with anger" and asked, "Grandma, don't be anxious. This matter has nothing to do with you. Can you tell me what happened that made my grandma so agitated?"Margaret recounted the events that took place at the Zane residence today. After listening, Abigail fell silent for a few minutes. Then, she stood up suddenly. "Xander, let me use Paxton for a moment."What Abigail called him was not Mr. Zane or Nathan but Xander. It proved she was so angry now."What do you want to do?" Xander asked.Abigail said, "Just let me use Paxton, and don't ask anymore. Also, stay here and take good care of my grandma for me. I'll be back later."Xander had already instructed people to collect evidence, expose the rumor spreaders, and deal with those who intended to hurt Abigail. There would be a result before 8:00 p.m. tonight. He had arranged everything well. There was no need for Abigail to take action anymore. However, he still supported her as alw
The Yank family lived in Noblebrook. It was the residential area allocated by the Florivera government to the relocated households. Each household had a small independent villa, providing a comfortable living environment.The relocated households here could receive annual dividends of several tens of millions. Their daily lives consisted of traveling around the cities and various countries. Throughout the year of having fun, it was time to receive dividends again before they had spent all the money. Therefore, Noblebrook was jokingly referred to as the wealthiest village without having to work.The Yank family was one of the families residing here. Their home was at the entrance of the village. After walking for about a thousand feet to the right upon entering Noblebrook, a small independent villa would show up.Paxton rang the doorbell, and it happened to be Ben who opened the door. As soon as the door opened, he lunged at Ben with his fists, as if throwing punches on a sandbag. Th
Gemma was a bit on the large side, and she rushed forward swiftly. She was determined to knock Abigail down. However, Gemma never expected Paxton to quickly stand before Abigail and block her plump body. So, she did not even get to touch the corner of Abigail's clothes.Paxton did nothing except step forward to shield Abigail. Gemma rushed over and collided into Paxton with her nose. Her tears streamed down from the pain. She covered her nose and cursed, "It's you! You're the foxy woman called Abigail! You're the one who bewitched my son, making him lovesick and affecting his appetite!""Your son thinks about someone else's wife all the time! It's your son who has no shame! How dare you blame others for seducing your son!" Abigail could not be bothered with such a person. "Paxton, let's go!""You hit someone, and you still want to leave? Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?" Gemma walked to the entrance gate and pressed the alarm button forcefully. T
Abigail did not refuse. "Thank you, Mr. Morgan!"Noblebrook was a special place in Florivera. Many things here were beyond the control of the law. It was far more frightening than what meets the eye. Upon reflection now, Abigail realized how reckless her actions had been. She thought that with the help of Paxton, they would be invincible. However, she underestimated what kind of place this village really was.'If it weren't for Xander stepping in to help in time, it's likely that both Paxton and I would have had a hard time leaving the village safely.'In the village, Harry arranged for a car to take Ben to the hospital. However, Gemma stood before Ben and did not allow anyone to touch her son. "Mr. Morgan, you've humiliated Noblebrook's reputation today."Harry looked at Gemma coldly. "I've humiliated? Or has your family humiliated us? No abilities at all, yet still trying to compete with Xander for a woman? Can your son size up his worth before he tries to compete?"Gemma was so
Xander was in charge of the vast Zane Corporation. Even during his rest time, he still had a lot of work to handle, making him stretched thin with responsibilities. So, Abigail did not want to burden him further and avoided letting him take time out of his busy schedule to help her.After Abigail said that, Paxton did not ask further on that matter. "Should we go back to the hospital now?"Abigail nodded. After Paxton drove awhile, Abigail asked, "Paxton, can I trouble you to do me a favor?""Please go ahead," said Paxton.Abigail said, "I can confirm the photos from this afternoon were sent by Daisy, but I'm not sure where she got that information from. Can you investigate who's helping her behind the scenes?""Yes," Paxton answered.Abigail worried that Paxton might not have any ideas and could not uncover any clues. So, she pointed a direction out for him, "About that incident, it did cause quite a stir in North Florivera back then. Everyone there knew about it."However, Flo
Xander's deep and powerful voice reached Abigail's ears, acting like a potent tranquilizer that instantly eased her anxiety. She unconsciously leaned against him as if trying to draw some energy from him. "You knew I would cause trouble by going out. Why didn't you stop me?"Abigail asked without coherence, but Xander understood what she meant. "Why should I stop you? Just go for it without any concerns, no matter what you want to do."'As long as it doesn't threaten your safety, I'll let you do whatever you want. I'll always handle it for you, no matter how much trouble you cause.'Abigail asked, "How much money did you have people bring to Noblebrook to settle the fight?"Xander said, "We just brought the mid-year dividends to distribute to them in advance. There were no losses beyond what was necessary.""Really?" Abigail doubted.Xander said firmly, "Yes."Abigail revealed, "Do you know I felt like a knife to the heart when I heard that you had people bring a truckload of mo
