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

    "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

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!

    "From now on, you're no longer a Guzman," Marlene Guzman announced in Abigail Guzman's face.Abigail remained silent, only fixing her cold gaze at Marlene, the woman she had called Mom for the past 17 years.Three days ago, by a strange twist of fate, Abigail was involved in an accident with a girl called Gina.She nearly died in an effort to save Gina, who was later found to be Marlene's biological daughter, the real Miss Guzman.But now, Marlene seemed to have completely forgotten Abigail's sacrifice, determined to kick her out to make way for Gina."Mom, don't be so hard on Abigail. We're rich. And it's reasonable that she doesn't wanna leave," said Gina."Are you done? If you are, I'm getting outta here." Abigail wasn't in the mood to listen to their cynical taunts.She realized that the Guzmans didn't deserve her love and devotion.Gina stepped forward, trying to stop Abigail from leaving.Yet, what she actually did was whisper to Abigail triumphantly, "There's one thing I forgot

    Before Abigail left, she wanted to go to the hospital and visit her grandma Vanessa Guzman for the last time.In Ward 301 of the inpatient department in Shepard Hospital, a gray-haired old lady was lying in the hospital bed.Due to the torment of the disease, she looked pale and skinny. The wrinkles on her forehead made her look a bit more haggard.When Abigail opened the door and came in, Vanessa was still in a coma with her eyes closed.As Abigail walked to Vanessa's bedside on tiptoe, she couldn't help but feel sad.'Grandma used to be so energetic. Since when did she become so fragile?' she thought."Abigail." Randy Conrad, the young doctor who was rounding the ward, took a quick glance at her before continuing to write in the medical record. "You came just in time. We need to talk."He put away his pen, raised his amicable face, and stared straight at her with a pair of charming eyes."None of the current heart medications works for her. Increasing the dosage worked before, but n

    Hearing this, several doctors who were in a state of desperation looked over."What do you know?" The male chief doctor didn't take Abigail seriously. "Sir Lucero's condition is very complicated. "Now they had no choice but to wait for his family to arrive.Abigail raised her eyebrows in doubt and asked lightly, "Rheumatic heart disease. Is it serious?""You can tell that just by a glimpse?" The doctor was surprised."Why bother arguing with that chick? When will Mr. Lucero arrive?" said Professor Kolten Hood, in his fifties, the best cardiologist in the hospital."In twenty minutes at least."Kolten thought about it. Irving Lucero couldn't afford to wait."Professor Hood, let's wait for Mr. Ronan Lucero." Georgia Riggs, a young deputy chief doctor tentatively said, "An unauthorized surgery would..."If something went wrong, Ronan would never let them get away.Seeing that Kolten didn't speak, Georgia simply acted as the "bad guy" and ordered the nurse at the side, "Go get the sedati

    Eight cardiologists were behind him, all top figures in the industry.Ronan coldly looked at the chief surgeon in the operating room and asked, "Who is she?"She was wearing a medical mask, only revealing a pair of clear eyes.Strangely, her eyes seemed familiar to him."She is..."Kolten looked over, his heart racing. If he told the truth, Ronan might kill him right away.Ryker flew into a rage and snapped, "How can Shepard Hospital be so irresponsible? Does she even have a medical license or any related experience? Do you think whoever is bold enough can operate on Sir Lucero? What were you thinking about?""Mr. Erickson, please hear me out!"Kolten was so frightened that he felt limp all over, too nervous to say a single word.The other doctors in the observation room were all scared out of their wits.Although Georgia was trembling with terror, she bit the bullet and replied, "Dr. Randy Conrad said if anything happened to Sir Lucero, he would take full responsibility.""Nice try.

    Abigail looked at him. His facial features seemed to be meticulously sculpted by the hands of some supernatural being because they were so perfect.More importantly, she seemed to have seen him before."Mr. Lucero, here's the thing. When Sir Lucero was critically ill, I boldly promised this lady a large amount of remuneration as long as she could save his life," Kolten hurriedly asked for a remuneration for Abigail.Ronan looked at her, a ripple of emotion in his eyes. Then, he glanced at Ryker.Ryker immediately took out a blank check, handed it over, and said, "Thank you for your help, Doctor! This is the reward from Mr. Lucero. You can fill in whatever amount you want."Abigail raised her bright eyes in surprise, wondering who the man was. She hadn't expected him to be so generous.The people around them all looked at her in shock and envy.After getting the blank check, she would earn more than just a large amount of money. The check was a token of Ronan's affirmation. So, she wou

    "What's your name?" he asked.It was evident that he didn't usually speak much. Even his expression was as indifferent as his speech.Abigail responded confidently, "Abigail.""Please give me your phone number." Ronan handed out his phone, indicating for her to enter her number.Since Abigail accepted the blank check, she naturally understood what he meant. If there were any problems with Irving later, she would be responsible for handling them. He needed her contact information to find her in time.Taking the man's phone with her slender fingers, she typed a string of numbers. Then she looked up and returned the phone."Sir Lucero has undergone multiple thoracotomies, and early postoperative sternal instability can hinder healing. There may also be discomfort in his lower left limb due to repeated intubations during extracorporeal circulation. These are all normal phenomena."Telling him these conditions in advance would avoid future trouble.Ronan's eyes traced Abigail's facial feat

    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
