"Mrs. Guzman!" Mrs. Norman didn't want to hear any explanations anymore. "We had it clearly stated in black and white that there should be no negative news during the contract period, or else you would have to pay ten times the penalty... As per the requirement, you must pay fifty million within ten days, otherwise we will have to meet in court!""Hey, Mrs. Norman, Mrs. Norman..." Marlene wanted to say something else, but the other person had already hung up the phone. When she tried calling again, she realized she had been blocked.Marlene slumped down, where could she find fifty million...Although Elliott was the richest person in Bushmere, with personal assets exceeding one billion, most of it was in fixed assets such as houses, shops, stocks, cars, and so on...Recently, due to the sudden refusal of cooperation from major corporations such as Abby Capital, their funds were unable to circulate. In addition, they suffered significant losses in business, and as a result, they have a

He immediately took out his phone and said, "Order a diamond piano for my daughter right away! Except for the keys, all
"Abby...""Two minutes passed."Abigail hung up the phone directly, blocked the number, and was about to enter the laboratory when another unknown number called.Abigail: ...No need to say, it was definitely Elliott again, shamelessly calling her.Abigail hung up directly, blocked, and strode into the laboratory with long legs.Elliott had already anticipated that she would not answer anymore. Before calling her, he had already bought several numbers. At this moment, he dialed each one, and whenever Abigail blocked one, he would switch to another.In the end, Abigail shut down and Elliott was completely at a loss."What did she say?" Marlene, who was standing beside Elliott, had a bad feeling when she saw his defeated expression. "She still didn't answer your call?""Shut down." Elliott sighed and glanced at his daughter on the sofa.Gina lowered her head, looking guilty, and silently shed tears.She looked pitiful."That damn... girl, Abigail, is so outrageous!" Marlene gritted her
At the pleading of several servants, Abigail sat down at the piano and her slender fingers landed on the keys, producing a melodious sound.Every note seemed to transform into dancing spirits, leading everyone on a delightful journey.The people who heard this piano piece seemed to encounter a sea of flowers and see a clear ocean during their journey, feeling refreshed and delighted.As the rhythm of the music became faster, the mood of the crowd improved, and their bodies and minds were cleansed on two levels.I don't know how long it had been, but when the music stopped, everyone clapped desperately."It was so good!""I used to listen to the master's music every night. I could instantly tell if it was the master playing... You are definitely Peyton, no doubt!""Is this the master's new song? I have never heard it before. It is full of poetic and picturesque beauty, and it brings joy and delight to the heart. It sounds so good!""Excuse me, where can I download it? I haven't heard e
After Abigail finished taking a shower, she went downstairs and saw fireworks bursting in the sky. Lauryn smiled kindly and said, "Abby, come quickly, let's take a family photo together!"The famous photographer stood under the fireworks with a whole team, waiting.Under the sparkling night sky, Kevin and Lauryn, with kind expressions, held Abigail's hand respectively. "We have wanted to take a family photo with you for a long time, but we never had the chance. Courtney happened to be out with friends."Okay, this way they could take a photo that belonged only to the three of them.After all, they were the only ones who were truly related by blood."I was wearing pajamas..."Abigail had not finished speaking when Kevin and Lauryn burst into laughter simultaneously, saying, "It's okay, it's okay..."They also deliberately wore pajamas, making them look more like a family.They wanted to take photos that were close to life."Okay, everyone, come closer!""Mr. Baldwin, your collar was a
The man's gaze scanned through, finally resting on a uniquely designed pink diamond necklace.Should girls like diamonds and pink?"That one."Jaylin was surprised. On their first meeting, Mr. Baldwin personally chose a necklace worth thirty million for her sister?!It seems that Mr. Baldwin truly accepted this sister from the bottom of his heart.The helicopter flew back to Dracmeadow and eventually landed on the top floor of the Headquarters of Sunrise Group skyscraper.As soon as the man got off the plane, thirty executives were standing on both sides waiting.All the employees of the group sounded the alarm when he arrived, being extremely cautious and not daring to make the slightest mistake.On the other hand.Ronan held Abigail in his arms and opened his phone, letting her choose, "Take a look and see if there's anything you like from the new collection by Alana Designs."On the page, there was the newly la
Marcel sneered and ignored their explanations, "She could also memorize all the styles in advance and then draw them little by little every day, just for show!""I didn't..." Makenna defended herself, tears of injustice streaming down her face. "These are all my own drawings, if you insist on accusing me of plagiarism, then they must have copied my work first!"Marcel heard this and immediately laughed, "Who is the other party? Huerta Garment! A well-known clothing company! The designer who created these 23 new products is the famous Callum McKinney! Who are you? A wet-behind-the-ears little girl, does anyone know you? Where did they copy your work?""I..." Makenna truly felt that she couldn't explain herself no matter what!"If you were so talented in design, why didn't I see you create such stunning works before?"Makenna hurriedly explained, "Before drawing these sketches, I received a lot of guidance from Ms. Abigail, which provided me with a c
Marcel choked on his words as soon as he heard it."The second thing is how to solve this matter."As soon as Abigail finished speaking, Brent handed her an iPad. "Ms. Abigail, I looked it up, and these are the award-winning works of the designer from Huerta Garment."Abigail glanced around and saw that all the competitions she participated in were small and unknown, and the winning style was not like Makenna's fresh and ladylike style."Everyone can take a look at the consistent style of the opposing designer, and it is evident that he has plagiarized Makenna's work," Abigail placed the iPad on the conference table.Everyone took a look and indeed it was true."The style he designed was more Korean-style, different from Makenna's style!""It seems like he really plagiarized Makenna's artwork...""But how could someone of such great fame plagiarize a junior?"Abigail found it funny, "Famous?""Yeah, over the years
"But Abby and her team were different. They relied on producing and selling clothes as their main source of profit. The income they earned from processing clothes for others was just an additional bonus!"Even if each bill made less profit, it wouldn't affect their company's operation!But the Guzman family was different!"Let's go," Marlene hurriedly got out of bed, "After breakfast, let's go find mom for help."After Elliott finished washing up, he went downstairs and didn't see Gina. He felt a bit uneasy, thinking, "Where is Gina? Didn't she say she was going to visit her grandmother? I'll call her to wake up and have breakfast, we need to get ready to leave."What time is it now?With so many things happening at home recently, how could she still sleep?The nanny on the side immediately explained, "Gina got up at six o'clock! She has been busy in the kitchen. She didn't even have breakfast! She said she wanted to make breakfast fo
"What did you want to do?""I want to stay there all day tomorrow, until she wakes up!" Marlene said, her eyes gleaming with determination. "We should convince her to sell off some of her shares, to help in this emergency... After all, having so many shares is of no use to her!""We also have a share ourselves, if we don't sell ours, let mom sell hers... It's a bit unfair."Elliott, with a conscience, pondered for two seconds and said, "Moreover, considering that Mom has been in a coma for such a long time, it is inappropriate for you to bring up this topic right after she woke up.""Who said we haven't sold any?" Marlene retorted, "We have already sold quite a few shops and houses. If we sell more shares, the company will fall into the hands of outsiders! Do you want outsiders to take over our company? Or are you relying on Mom's health to manage the company?"Elliott fell silent."We held shares in our hands, so we could continue to manage
After Abigail and Ronan's car drove away, she took out her phone and answered the call, "Reuben.""Boss, today is the tenth day! If that idiot from the Guzman family doesn't come up with the money, Mrs. Norman is going to sue him!"Abigail remembered. It did happen.Mrs. Norman and Gina had previously signed a contract, with the intention of having Gina serve as the spokesperson for their piano brand. However, there was one requirement: no negative news could occur during the duration of the contract, otherwise they would have to pay a penalty of ten times the amount of the breach.Gina exposed the plagiarism incident, which violated the terms of the contract. Mrs. Norman demanded that they compensate fifty million within ten days, otherwise they would see each other in court.Today, it was the last day."Why don't we just stand by and let Mrs. Norman ruin his reputation?""It wasn't time yet," Abigail instructed calmly, "Proceed as p
Ryker, Jimmy, and the other servants beside couldn't believe how skilled Ms. Abigail's medical skills were.All the doctors said it was impossible, but she dared to guarantee that she would recover within a month.Isn't she human, but a goddess?"The Lucero family is so lucky to have you as Ronan's wife..." Sergio became so overwhelmed with excitement that his eyes welled up with tears.Great, my spouse is finally saved!In less than a month, she would be able to talk to him and accompany him for walks just like before!This was something he wouldn't even dare to dream about.The sudden joy overwhelmed Sergio, and he bent down in gratitude, "Let me thank you on behalf of your grandmother first...""Grandpa, you were too polite," Abigail hurriedly reached out to support him.In Abigail's perception, she merely did a trivial task that was not worth mentioning...But for the Lucero family, it was a lifesaving grace a
Before the red light, Abigail stopped the car and turned on her phone."Boss, this is a photo sent by the other party. Take a look and see if it's the real deal."Abigail opened the picture and indeed saw Licorice and Purple Lotus Root.Regardless of their appearance, color, pattern, or root structure, both of these items can be determined to be genuine."Give me the location.""Boss, are these really authentic? The other party is so amazing, they were able to find these two treasures so quickly. We searched for a full three months and couldn't find them! We were originally worried that they would deceive us with fakes..."I didn't expect it to be true!"They wanted you to wait for them at Peach Grove in the outskirts, where there was a small pavilion."Abigail replied with an OK, and just as the traffic light turned green, she stepped on the gas and arrived at the agreed-upon location.To deceive others, she parked the
A while passed.The chef prepared the delicious food, and Ronan personally brought it to her. "Can't sleep?""Hmm..." Abigail was surprised to see him carrying two large trays. "Do you usually eat in your room?""No," Ronan placed the tray on the table and said gently, "But I'm willing to make an exception for you with all my habits. Wait for me a moment, there are still some downstairs, I'll go get them."Abigail saw him leaving the bedroom and felt a warmth in her heart.Outside the window, Crescent Lake shimmered in the sunlight, endless daisies swayed in the wind. Abigail stepped onto the balcony, admiring the breathtaking scenery and feeling the cool breeze.Ronan walked over with two large trays, his tall and handsome figure exuding indulgence and doting as he looked at Abigail."Have your meal here," Abigail gestured towards the table on the balcony, "The view is nice here.""Okay," Ronan put down the things and pulled o
Ronan was even more curious about her identity when he realized that Abigail had even encrypted her phone calls.Out of respect, Ronan did not answer the call for her, nor did he hang up, but let the other person ring for a while before ending it himself.He placed his phone on the bedside table, gently covering Abigail with a blanket, and leaned down to give her a tender kiss.She looked beautiful when she was asleep, like a princess in a fairy tale, with long, curly eyelashes, a straight and elegant nose, and luscious, tempting lips.He couldn't help but bend down and give her a gentle kiss.Just at that moment, the phone vibrated again.It was a WhatsApp message sent by someone else to her.Ronan glanced unintentionally and saw several WhatsApp messages appearing on the screen."Ms. Abigail, the monthly report of Alana Designs has been sent to your email.""The recently launched jewelry collection has received an exce
In a luxurious cabin.Ronan held Abigail on his lap, gently stroking her soft hair with his chin, "How many identities do you still have that I don't know about?"Abigail averted her gaze slightly, not much though, even though she couldn't count the number of hands she had..."Was it because of your grandmother's condition that you wanted to get the Purple Ginseng?" Ronan glanced down at the girl in his arms and asked softly, "Did you know her condition was deteriorating, and she only had a few days left when you took her pulse that day?""Um.""Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ronan scrutinized her eyes. "Or was it that you had already decided to come to Secret Delta alone to find Purple Ginseng at that time? Who told you that this thing could save Grandma's life?""I also read it in a medical book a long time ago..."As for whether it could be cured or not, it would depend on the grandmother's own physical condition."Secret
"Didn't Mr. Harrell say that the previous price doesn't count and asked me to make a new offer?" Abigail casually spoke, "What's the matter, does Mr. Harrell want to go back on his word?""You..." Leonard was instantly speechless."The gang leader, has no credibility at all?"Leonard suddenly realized something, "You, you two know each other? Trying to deceive me into selling Purple Ginseng at a low price? The big R Gang and A Gang colluding with each other just to take advantage of others? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by others if this gets out?""Seems like Mr. Harrell wants to back out?" Ronan asked skeptically."Repent, then repent!"Billions of dollars, and trust, he chose the former!One of the henchmen beside Leonard leaned in and whispered, "Mr. Harrell, there are R Gang members outside, let's be polite..."Leonard naturally knew the power of R Gang, so he suppressed his anger for the time being and said in a fr
