After Abigail saw Kamden, she received a phone call while driving home. Seeing the familiar number on the screen, she pressed a button on the steering wheel and hung up directly.But Elliott, as if unwilling to give up, played it over and over again."Anything wrong?"Finally, Abigail impatiently picked up the phone, her tone tinged with a hint of annoyance."Abby, well... to cut a long story short, tonight I saw you having dinner with the CEO of Abby Capital? Do you know each other?""Is it related to you?"Abigail didn't expect him to call and ask such a boring question, and was about to hang up."Abby, tell Dad the truth, did Kamden have a crush on you? Was he pursuing you?"Abigail: ??"Did you not let him run our family company?"Abigail: ..."It's actually a good thing that you can fly up to the branch and transform into a phoenix, but don't you also need a respectable family background?"Abigail's icy gaze was filled with a hint of coldness, "What do you mean?""Your biological
"What?"Elliott thought he had misheard.Trinity arrogantly said, "The Middleton family and the Haynes family have issued a stern warning, whoever dares to help will face the same consequences."Trinity couldn't possibly risk everything for her son's fleeting affection and this unconventional engagement with the O'Connor family!Gina didn't expect Trinity to refuse so completely, and her hands clenched into fists under the table.This obviously didn't give face to their family!Maximo also shouted, "Mom!"Trystan O'Connor intervened, "We need to discuss this matter thoroughly... Let's have a meal first, the food has gone cold. We can talk later!""Yes, yes..." Elliott, an old hand, raised his glass and went to toast Trystan. "Forgot to thank you, brother-in-law, for helping to book a VIP ward for Grandma Gina and asking the doctors to take extra care of her..."Trystan heard and said, "No way, it's impossible for us to book a VIP room at Shepard Hospital. It's so difficult, and we don
Marilyn knew the lady's concerns and respectfully responded.Abigail was somewhat surprised. Did her parents investigate the Guzman family? Otherwise, why would their expressions turn sour when mentioning Elliott and Marlene?Did she know about the Guzman family bullying her in the past?"Abby, if the Guzman family comes looking for you, just tell Mom and Mom will handle it."Lauryn couldn't say it too directly and said tactfully, "If the Guzman family wants to discuss the favor of raising and nurturing, Mom will surely talk to them about it.""Of course, Vanessa owes you a favor, and our parents are not ungrateful people!"Kevin kindly said, "If the hospital needs any assistance, such as payment or changing to a VIP ward, just let Dad know, and Dad will arrange it!""I heard that the elderly person's condition was serious. If they need a famous doctor, you can also tell Mom and Dad! Mom and Dad know that Vanessa has been taking care of you all these years. If you want to repay her an
"What important person?"Elliott had no idea at all."This influential figure was very formidable. Back in his youth, he thrived in the business world and created a massive commercial empire! Later on, his grandson took over the company and expanded the business territory, becoming the youngest global billionaire!""Are you talking about Ronan?"Ronan was known as the richest person in the world! However, he rarely appeared in public, and the media never published his photos."The important person you mentioned, is it Sergio? Did he get sick and hospitalized?"How come I haven't heard anyone mention such a sensational news before?"There are no walls that are not ventilated..." Marlene recounted the events, "Sergio was critically ill recently, with one foot already in the grave, and luckily a high school student happened to pass by and performed surgery on him..."It was only after the news spread that many people came to know that Sergio used to live at Shepard Hospital, and they all
Sergio waited left and right, but Abigail didn't come. His stomach growled with hunger."Grandpa..." Jaeden entered the room once again.Sergio Lucero suddenly perked up and eagerly asked, "Has Abby arrived?"Where are the people?How come I didn't see it?Looking out, there were the silhouettes of several bodyguards outside.They formed a human wall, and from the gaps between their shoulders, it could be seen that there were many people standing outside.Sergio's spirit deflated all of a sudden, like a deflated balloon."It is a small company that I have never heard of before. I heard that you are here to recuperate, so I came to visit you specially...""It was said not to meet!"Sergio was very impatient with this group of people. "Did Ronan say when he would arrive?"It was already half past twelve and there was still no sign of anyone!"Mr. Lucero took Mrs. Lucero out for lunch, and they will be back after they finish eating."Jaeden saw the delicious dishes in front of Sir Lucero
"Abigail!"Marlene couldn't help but speak up, "You, you..."Abigail heard a voice, turned around and glanced at her with a sense of detachment and indifference. In just a second, she withdrew her gaze and obediently followed Jaeden inside.Other people didn't know about their relationship, but when the Guzman family met this girl, they were all impressed!The Guzman family, while feeling superior, couldn't help but speculate how Abigail managed to get in...How could she have known such a big shot like Sergio?"Grandfather."Abigail politely greeted as soon as she entered the ward."Baby Abby, you finally arrived! Grandpa has been eagerly waiting for you, and finally, he has seen you!"As Sergio motioned for her to sit down, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you the only one here? Where is Ronan?""He had to go back to the company temporarily.""This stinky kid!"Sergio secretly got angry, needless to say, this brat must have gotten tired of Abby! It's only been a few days and he
Gina was extremely jealous and couldn't help but slander, "They were in there for so long just now, I wonder what they were doing inside... Maybe something unsavory.""Gina!"Marlene, of course, guessed what was going on, but Sergio's bodyguard was still ahead. If he accidentally overheard, it would only make matters worse for the Guzman family!Gina bit her lower lip and unwillingly watched the figure in front of her...If the person supporting Sergio was her... how wonderful it would be!Fifteen minutes later.The car arrived in front of a tranquil and elegant villa.This was Sergio's residence, occupying over ten thousand square meters.The black tiles were matched with white exterior walls, emitting a faint ancient fragrance. The wooden railings and windows showcased a grand atmosphere, while the roof adopted a flying eaves design. The overall symmetrical layout was stable and balanced.With a touch of classical temperament, yet not lacking in gentle charm, it is named "Creek Gard
"Do we need to report this to Mr. Pennington?"Abigail raised her lips, "I heard that Mr. Pennington was often absent from the company. I wonder if I, as the new and short-term company manager, can inquire about it?"Marcel pulled out a chair and sat proudly in front of Abigail. "If I had to keep an eye on every little thing in the company, I would have been exhausted a long time ago. Ms. Abigail, as the new official, you have no idea how much there is to do in the company...""So, where did Mr. Pennington go when he wasn't at the company?""Talking to the CEOs of other companies, meeting with suppliers, how come, Ms. Abigail wants to manage this too?""Of course."Abigail raised a smile at the corner of her lips and said, "When it comes to discussing business and making deals, it's important to ask for clarification, otherwise it would be considered an unjustified absence from work.""Huh."Marcel smiled and said, "So, Ms. Abigail means that I had to be at my workplace every day?""N
"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
