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
Esther replied, "Oh, I see."Felix blushed, then said, "Didn't you say you wanted a signed copy of Fat Caterpie's book last time? I already prepared it for you. If you have any free time, we can decide on a time to meet up, and I can give you the item.""Sure. We'll meet up when we're free next time. I'll go and check on my grandma first," Esther politely bid Felix farewell and walked toward Margaret."Alright." Felix then watched Esther walk to the side. His gaze was glued to her figure. His mannerisms did not escape the eyes of Abigail. The three of them had grown up together and were too familiar with each other. Sometimes, their ideas would even sync coincidentally.Abigail dragged Felix to the side and asked, "Fee, tell me honestly, do you have feelings for Essy?""Lower your voice." Felix covered Abigail's mouth and then looked behind her. "This is only the second time we've met. Why would you say I like her?"Abigail answered, "Does what I say matter? What matters is wheth
Abigail exclaimed, "Yeah, time flies by fast. In a blink of an eye, we've already grown up while the hair on Grandma's head has turned white."Felix replied, "When I went back for Easter this year, I saw some gray hairs sprouting from my parents' head. They were only forty-something years old. In my memories, they were still so young. I don't understand how they grew so old while I was away for a year."Abigail said, "When we finish moving to our new places, you can bring your parents over to stay here for a few days. When you're not busy with work, you can return to North Florivera more frequently to keep them company. Life is but only a few decades. Cherish your parents while you still have the chance."Felix could not stand looking at Abigail's despondent state and said, "What are you blabbering about? Xander already searched for so many renowned doctors; your grandma will definitely be fine."This made Abigail more worried because Xander searched for many renowned doctors. Had
The straight ball Xander had thrown was so overwhelming that Felix was forced to leave first.After Felix left, Xander had Abigail brought to the break room at the side. He used a disposable cup to pour a cup of water for her before saying, "You should drink some water first. I have something to tell you."Abigail took over the water and drank it. "What do you want to talk about?"A deep voice came from Xander's sultry lips, "I'm sorry!"Abigail replied, "Why are you apologizing?"Xander replied, "Do you know the real reason behind Grandma passing out this time?"Abigail did not know. When she heard him say those words, she had a bad feeling. She grew so anxious she almost lost her grip on the cup. "Grandma is going to be fine, Grandma is definitely going to be fine, you're not allowed to scare me...""Grandma is going to be fine. I wanted to tell you about something else." Xander paused, then said, "Abigail, it was the person that I arranged to be by Grandma's side who had a pr
When Xander heard the doctor tell him that one of the most crucial reasons Cassandra fell unconscious was due to being poisoned, Xander immediately screened through the people taking care of Cassandra. He swiftly caught the person who put the poison in. That person was indeed arranged by him to stay by Cassandra's side and take care of her.She also told Xander the reason why she poisoned the elderly lady. It was because her family members were being detained, and she was forced to do so due to being blackmailed. As for the person who was blackmailing her, Xander knew who it was without having to think much.At that instant, numerous possible scenarios of Abigail reacting after knowing Cassandra had been poisoned floated through his mind. Some were of her scolding him, while others were of Abigail being angry at him. There were even some where she wanted to break off her relationship with him...He thought of many possibilities but never expected Abigail to run over and hug him. She
Abigail then said, "If you're asking whether I'm scared, I am scared; however, as long as I remember that I now have so many people that I care for and care for me like you, Fee, Mel, Essy, and my two grandmas, I'm not afraid anymore. He can try all he wants with his dirty tricks. It'll be his win if I even utter the word 'scared'."Xander's terrible mood throughout the night was lightened by her one sentence. He then asked, "So you're not afraid now?"Abigail put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Of course, I'm afraid, but of all things, we can't lose in terms of morale. Sometimes, a strong morale would already guarantee you half the victory."Take Xander, for example; his aura was too powerful. Regardless of who negotiated or did something with him, he just had to raise his eyebrows slightly, and it would make the other party shiver in fear. The morale of the other party was already low, so how could they negotiate for their own interest?Xander called her, "Abigail...
Abigail nodded. "Alright, alright. I won't go see Grandma. I'll cooperate with you, doctors. I'll do whatever you tell me."The doctor looked at Xander and upon getting his approval, said, "There's not much for you to do at the moment. You just need to rest up well so that you'll have the energy to spend time with her tomorrow when she wakes up."As long as her grandmother was fine, Abigail simply just acknowledged everything the doctor said."I'll get Paxton to send you, Grandma and Essy back to rest. I'll take care of Grandma Cassandra," said Xander.Abigail shook her head. "I'll definitely not leave her at this moment. I want to stay by her side. I'm sure I'm the first person she wants to see when she wakes up."Xander understood that if he forced her to go back now, she would definitely not rest well. "Fine. I'll get Essy to accompany Grandma back first. We'll keep vigil here together.""Your grandma is probably blaming herself and very worried for my grandmother. I'll go and
