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
Makenna was terrified, it was Ms. Abigail, Ms. Abigail had arrived!!Was Ms. Abigail really that skilled?Abigail pulled Makenna up in one swift motion, still maintaining an unchanged expression on her face, "Are you okay?""...Makenna shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. Thankfully, Ms. Abigail was there, otherwise..."On the other side, Brent picked up a stone and threw it at Gerald's back. Gerald was hit and felt a sudden pain. He turned around and saw a well-mannered man in a suit, who appeared to be young and didn't seem to have any fighting skills.Jimena came to her senses and saw two people in front of her, which surprised her a bit. "Oh, did you bring two helpers with you?"In addition to the frail Brent in front of me, there was also a girl who was handy."You looked pretty good."Jimena looked at Abigail's beautiful features and said to the bodyguard beside her, "Do you fancy her? Help yourself, as for this man... kill him.""You guys, go quickly..." Makenna was sc
Courtney was stunned for a few seconds, as if frozen in place."Can you, like her, accept her in front of your parents and brother? Just as she accepted you?"Riley saw her lost in thought and patted her head, "Think about what big brother said tonight before going to bed. I hope that next time he comes home, he can see a different you."Riley's biological clock was still accurate. There were only three minutes left until his bedtime. He stood up and did not make any exceptions for anyone.Before he left, he specifically said, "If I were you, I would cherish everything in front of me, not wait until it's lost to regret it."Courtney looked at him in astonishment."Goodnight," Riley took a step and left the terrace.Seeing Riley leave, Janet, who was hiding in the dark, quickly appeared and said, "Miss Courtney, are you alright?"She had secretly followed Riley since she went to find Miss Courtney just now.I thought Rile
Due to significant damage to their central nervous system, as well as respiratory tract infections, anemia, disturbances of water and electrolyte balance, and other conditions, my grandparents required multiple medications.She first prepared the medicine she needed to take for the next three days, grinding them into powder for easy mixing with water.Unconsciously, it was already 8:30 in the evening and I had been busy.Riley and others were in the lush courtyard, raising their watches and looking towards the direction of the gate, but they never saw the figure of their sister returning home.Did she go out for something? Is she going to see that doctor?I don't know whether that doctor was a man or a woman. If it was a man, going alone so late, would my sister be taken advantage of?At this moment, Marilyn approached respectfully and reported, "Riley, the daisies you ordered have been planted. Would you like to go up and take a look?"
Riley suddenly became curious about her sister's position in the medical field. She wondered how her sister could come up with a solution to such a difficult medical condition in an instant.As is well known, the most skilled doctor internationally was Elian. It was said that his medical skills were extraordinary, capable of bringing the dead back to life. However, he was elusive, and no one knew his whereabouts.Since my grandparents were admitted to the ICU, he had sent people multiple times to inquire about Elian's whereabouts, hoping to ask him to come forward and save my grandparents.Some people said that he had already died, while others said that he had once appeared at Secret Delta. Whether these pieces of information are reliable or not, nobody knows.Did my sister learn her medical skills from Elian?If it was true, then surely the grandparents would be saved!"Abby, you seem so confident in that doctor's medical skills. It seems
"Abby, you saved your grandmother! In such a short time, you brought her back from the brink of death! You are truly amazing!" Kevin was extremely excited and wanted to hug her.To our surprise, Lauryn hugged her daughter first and said, "Great, your grandmother is fine! She scared us just now!"I'm afraid something might have happened to her elderly lady...I didn't expect my daughter's medical skills to be so brilliant.No wonder Sergio always praised her excellent medical skills before.It turns out that it was not that the old person favored Abby, but Abby really had the ability!Her medical skills were really superb!The decisiveness, calmness, and wisdom she displayed during the process of rescuing someone just now were truly impressive!Abigail was suddenly embraced by her mother, a feeling of being loved, pampered, and valued that she had never experienced from childhood to adulthood."If your grandmother woke up
"Mom, why don't you take Courtney out for a walk?" Riley reminded.Lauryn, also feeling heavy-hearted from her crying, stood up and pulled Courtney, "Courtney, let's go outside."Don't disturb grandparents' rest.When Courtney stood up, she pretended to be unsteady and threw herself into Lauryn's arms. "Mom, when will grandpa and grandma wake up? I'm so worried, I feel so uneasy... I feel dizzy, I can barely stand.""I know you're filial." Lauryn patted her back. "Mom believes that your grandparents are good people, and they will definitely recover soon.""I'm going to talk to the doctor," Kevin said. He couldn't control his emotions several times and stood up with red eyes, taking the first step out of the ward.When there were only the two siblings left in the ward, Riley asked softly, "Can you still take a pulse?"Abigail was taken aback for a moment, but she answered truthfully, "I know a little.""What went wrong with that
"Hello," Abigail nodded slightly to show politeness.The head nurse took one look and noticed that this young lady's demeanor appeared even more noble than Courtney's. Could she possibly be a relative of the Baldwin family?He seemed to come from a prestigious family, well-mannered, and there was no trace of the fragility and stubbornness that Courtney exuded. It was evident that he was someone who understood the bigger picture."Did Mom and Dad wake up today?" Lauryn asked with a glimmer of hope, although she knew the chances were extremely low."Sir Baldwin and Madam Baldwin had not woken up yet. In the past three days, their condition has not been very good..."The daily monitoring data and doctor's advice would be updated in the background of a software every day for Kevin and Lauryn to check at any time.Lauryn also noticed in the past few days that the data of the two elderly people has been gradually declining. The doctor's comment wa
After work, Riley brought Abigail to Mosley Hospital and parked the car in the VIP garage. Just as they got out of the car, they saw their motorhome approaching from a distance and parking in the spot next to theirs.This floor was exclusively for their family, the VIP floor where vehicles of other patients' families were not allowed to enter, ensuring excellent privacy.Kevin helped Lauryn out of the car while Courtney pretended to still be in pain from her previous fall and also asked her father for assistance.As soon as Courtney got out of the car, she immediately held Kevin's left hand and Lauryn's right hand, and said with a smile, "Big brother, sister, you're here too?"Riley's gaze fell on her arm, and she said, neither lightly nor heavily, "If someone didn't know, they would think that our parents are only yours. We are all grown-ups, yet still so childish."This is childish, I don't know if it means she is naive and loves to act coquettis
"Um." Riley finally picked up the coffee and took a sip.Abigail also picked up the cup and tasted it, "Not bad."At this moment, someone brought the snack cabinet and snacks again. Jaylin personally organized them and said, "Ms. Abigail, Mr. Baldwin usually doesn't eat snacks. If there are any that don't suit your taste, you can tell me, and I won't have them delivered next time.""Okay." Abigail usually doesn't eat snacks, but seeing her older brother being so thoughtful, her heart still feels warm.Jaylin sorted the snacks into different categories and labeled them with tags such as nuts, spicy strips, cookies, candies, pastries, potato chips, and so on. She then stuck the labels on them to make it easier for Abigail to find them next time.Brent on the side watched with drooling mouth, almost envious to the point of tears. He also wished he had such a domineering and gentle older brother...After Jaylin finished his work, Riley asked him
Noon.The employees who were eating in the cafeteria were so shocked when they saw Riley and Abigail appear that they couldn't even hold their forks steady.Hasn't Mr. Baldwin left yet?Did you still stay at the company and have lunch with Ms. Abigail?Did Mr. Baldwin really like Ms. Abigail, as rumored?But between them, there was at least a six or seven-year age difference!Is this considered an older bull eating tender grass?"He spoke to Ms. Abigail so gently."Riley bent down to listen to Abigail speaking, then nodded and said something to the cafeteria staff. They helped Abigail with her meal, first bringing it to the table and making her sit in her seat to wait."Mr. Baldwin was such a gentleman! He helped Ms. Abigail serve her meal first before serving his own, without any hesitation or inconvenience.""Abby!!"At this moment, Makenna prepared the meal and saw Abigail sitting alone at the dining tab
