"Abby, such a good employee, shouldn't we give him a raise?"The words of Ronan came through the other end of the video.Brent's heart blossomed with joy as soon as he heard it, and he looked at Abigail with delight and anticipation."If you don't leave now, I will donate this month's bonus to a charity organization."Upon hearing Abigail's words, Brent's heart almost couldn't bear it, and he immediately lifted his leg and said, "I'm leaving right away!""Speak well after going out.""Yes, Ms. Abigail, rest assured, I will never tell anyone about your relationship..." Brent banged into the office door with a loud noise, ignoring the pain, and walked out while holding his forehead."Satisfied?"Abigail looked at the man in her phone, her tone tinged with a hint of resignation.Ronan raised a wicked smile and said, "How good it would be if everyone in the world knew.""...""Abby, when will my identity be revealed?"Just now I heard Brent say that there was a guy in the company who want
After finishing lunch, Abigail returned to the company.Just as I reached the 20th floor, the elevator doors opened, and I could hear Brent's voice coming from the end of the corridor.At that time, Brent was blocking seven or eight male employees outside the office, not allowing them to enter.One of the men in a white shirt pleaded, "Brent, I really liked Ms. Abigail...""Where did you get the courage?" I asked. "Do you have a house and a car in Appleston?"The man in the white shirt shook his head."How much was the deposit?""Three, three thousand...""Do you dare to imagine Ms. Abigail, even in your wildest dreams?"Brent was furious."Brent, I genuinely liked Ms. Abigail, and I would work hard to earn money...""How much is a person's worth these days? I advise you to go back home and lie down, close your eyes and daydream, it's more practical. Want to get married with only three thousand? Nowadays, just taking a girlfriend on a little trip costs more than that! Go away!"Anothe
"This small matter, do we need to borrow his hand?"How useless was she?!Brent understood that Ms. Abigail was a career-oriented strong woman who was self-reliant and didn't need any external help to handle things."Ms. Abigail, I suddenly admired you more, what should I do?"Brent had a twinkle in his eyes.Abigail kept her head down and didn't even look at him. "If you have nothing to do, you can help the cleaning lady wash the toilet.""I, I worked immediately!"Brent hurriedly left the office; he didn't want to clean any toilets.Night fell.Lauryn sat on the sofa and took out her phone to call her sons."Your sister has been found. During this period, she was on summer vacation. All of you should finish your current tasks and those who can go back home first should go back. If it's not possible, you must also make time for me!""Mom knows you are busy, but your biological sister has come back, and all five of you must come back and stay for a while! Do you hear me?""I was the f
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a high-end luxurious villa.This is Appleston's most famous private mansion, which was bought by a prominent figure last year for a price of 1.8 billion.Unlike the Lakefront Villa where Abigail lived, Lakefront Villa is the most expensive wealthy residential area in Appleston, with a total of thirty-three households.And at first glance, Crescent Villa was all the owner's private and exclusive.Endless flowers, plants, and trees surrounded the villa. The exterior of the villa was beautifully designed and had a harmonious mix of heights. When the lights turned on at night, it became even more dazzling, capturing people's hearts at first sight.There was a crescent-shaped lake nearby, and whenever the moonlight shone down at night, this lake seemed to drop the moon from heaven, making it incredibly beautiful and captivating. That's why it was named Crescent Villa.Abigail's eyes were filled with confusion. Wasn't it supposed to be going to th
Kissing a girl as passionately and intensely as today, it was a first time in a long time!I don't know how long it had been, but Ronan let go of her. "Indeed, not bad.""..." Abigail was getting a little annoyed and wondered what the taste was. Wasn't there another cup of floral tea there?Did this guy bring her here, was it for the convenience of doing something bad?"You keep meddling, next time I won't come."Abigail warned."Hmm?""I won't accompany you for meals anymore in the future."Abigail knew that it was impossible to change this guy's habit of being hands-on, so she had to eliminate it from the source.Try to reduce the number of meetings, minimize alone time...Ronan took a look at her eyes as soon as he heard it, "Are you angry?"Not getting a response from Abigail, Ronan asked softly, "Was it the kiss just now that didn't go well and made you angry?""You..."Ronan pressed his lips against hers again, savoring the sweet taste little by little.Jimmy on the side was tru
At half past eleven in the evening, Abigail finally returned to Lakefront Villa."Sister, you came back?"Courtney, who was about to go downstairs, saw Abigail lifting her foot upstairs. Just then, a gust of wind blew by, revealing several love bites on Abigail's neck, catching Courtney's attention.Courtney's heart felt as if it had been brutally struck by some blunt object, the pain washing over her, almost unbelievable."Sister, why did you come back so late? Did you go out with your brother-in-law?"Although she knew that it was highly likely for her to be with Ronan, Courtney still couldn't accept it when she saw the hickey on her neck.How could Ronan, such an abstinent person, possibly kiss a woman so passionately?It was definitely Abigail who seduced him!"Sister, even though our family doesn't have a curfew, you still need to come back early. Otherwise, if it gets out, others will say that our family has poor upbringing."Abigail raised her gaze and asked softly, "Did you li
Ronan sent her a message at 6 o'clock in the morning, and she stayed awake all night.Abigail's slender fingers lightly tapped the screen, "Didn't I ask you to hold me every day?"She replied patiently, "Sleep well, we'll see each other again soon."Unexpectedly, just a few seconds after she sent the message, Ronan called."Abby."Ronan's voice had a charming magnetism, "Why are you awake so early? Did you have a nightmare?"Abigail also didn't know if her childhood experiences counted as a nightmare, "You haven't slept yet?""Well, I couldn't sleep."Ronan's voice was particularly seductive, "I miss you so much."Every moment spent with her, replayed countless times in his mind, her face haunting his thoughts, making it impossible for him to sleep."Are you still sleepy?"Abigail said lightly, "I wasn't tired.""Then let's go watch the sunrise together."Ronan really wanted to see her, and after getting permission, he quickly left.Abigail finished washing up and changing her clothes
Makenna choked up for a moment and then said, "Uncle said that my mother and I couldn't manage the company, so he took away the control of the company. Afterwards, he found ways to reduce our assets and finally kicked us out of the house."Makenna choked up and said, "Originally, my mother had several houses under her name, but now they are all gone...""Did no one do anything?"Abigail asked softly."Previously, my grandfather was in charge at home. After my grandfather passed away, not long after, my grandmother also left this world... Originally, my father was in charge of the company, but later he left, and everyone looked up to my uncle Ma as the leader."No one stood up to speak for the mother and daughter.The older generation of relatives advised them to be more open-minded and understand the importance of humility. After all, it was too easy to make a living under the protection of the Skinner family.But if you were to go against the Skinner family, the outcome would definit
"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
