"Zack, thank you for coming in person today," Lauryn expressed her gratitude and then turned to Enrique. "Enrique, please take good care of him."

"I will. Mr. Patterson, please follow me."

Zack knew that the family still had something to discuss, so he glanced at Abigail, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then followed Enrique downstairs.

"Come on, let's sit down and talk."

Lauryn took Abigail's hand and beckoned Courtney to sit down.

For Courtney, this scene was like a thorn piercing deeply into her heart.

"Courtney, let me re-introduce her. Her name is Abigail Baldwin. She is our daughter who we lost track of."

Upon hearing these words, Courtney was thunderstruck.

She always thought that Abigail was a distant relative who came to borrow money, but she didn't expect that Abigail was her parents' daughter...

No wonder her parents treated Abigail so well!

"Here's what happened. I picked up the wrong baby. As for your biological mother..." Lauryn hesitated to speak at first, but finally

    In the villa of the Baldwin family.Kevin and Lauryn came to the dining table and delivered various breakfasts to their two daughters."Dad, this is your favorite breakfast herbal tea. I'll make you a cup of tea." Courtney stood up and poured the tea from the white porcelain teapot into Kevin's cup. Then she picked up another blue teapot and poured the fruit tea inside into Lauryn's cup. "Mom, this is your favorite fruit tea. Drink it while it's warm."Lauryn hadn't expected her daughter to still remember their habits. She smiled lovingly and took a sip from the teacup.Courtney, like a victor after a battle, deliberately glanced at Abigail.Abigail was her parents' biological daughter, but so what? After spending so many years together with her parents, no one knew their habits better than her.How could Abigail fail to see her through? She looked calm and ate the delicate food on the plate slowly. She never took what Courtney did seriously."Abby, I don't know what kind of tea you l

    At the end of the fire, the entire hospital was turned into ashes.She always felt that someone had set the fire on purpose.Leon said, "If I find out that the fire was deliberately set off by someone and caused you to have such a difficult life in the Guzman family, I will not let him go!"After chatting for a while, Abigail saw that the time was almost up, and Marisa should be at the appointed place soon, so she went downstairs, "Mom, I'm going out for a while.""Okay..." Lauryn originally wanted to ask her daughter where she was going, who she was going to meet, and what she was going to do, but she was afraid that her daughter would be annoyed. So she could only ask with a smile, "Shall I ask Braydon to drive you?""Mom." Courtney on the side couldn't help but say, "I just asked Braydon to take me to a place later. I have an appointment with a friend..."Lauryn frowned slightly, "Can't you ask Duncan to drive you?""Duncan has a habit of taking a nap. If he wakes up now, I'm afrai

    "The starting price is 200,000."Hearing what the system said, Marisa sighed. The leftovers were worth 200,000...There were three buttons in front of the glass wall, marked with one hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, and one million respectively.In other words, the minimum price increase was 100,000 per click.Courtney, who was standing in front of the glass wall, saw blue amounts of money flashing on the glass walls of other rooms. After several rounds of competition, the price had risen to 1.2 million."Courtney, this thing is pretty good. You can buy it and make soup for Sir Lucero. Firstly, it will be good for his health. Secondly, he will know that you are a virtuous woman and can make soup. I'm sure he will be impressed by you... "Courtney wanted to get this treasure, but other bidders were so competitive. She pressed 100,000 a few times but couldn't get it. In the end, she made up her mind and directly pressed 1 million!At this time, the audience fell silent."2.5 mil

    Abigail put the phone close to her ear, and heard Ronan's magnetic voice, "Something happened to my grandpa. Could you come over?"Abigail was a little puzzled. Given the situation of Sir Lucero yesterday, he was recovering very well.What happened?"Where are you?" Ronan's pleasant voice was like a cello, low and seductive, "I'll pick you up.""Then you go to Bradford Church in the suburbs."Bradford Church was not far from the manor. If Abigail took a shortcut, it would be only a few minutes away.Ronan was a little surprised, "Are you in the suburbs?""Yes."Bradford Church was an old building from the 1980s. No believers went there to pray anymore. Weeds were overgrown there. She was a girl. What was she doing there?After Abigail hung up the phone, she said to Marisa, "I'm going to Bradford Church. I have something to deal with.""Okay." Marisa knew that she had a lot of fake identities, so she didn't ask, "I'll send the things to you later."After bidding, there was still a set

    "Is there a Heart Pill in this soup?" Abigail raised her clear eyes and asked Jaeden beside her.Jaeden was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes, the person who delivered the soup said that the Heart Pill has a miraculous effect on the heart, and it won't have any side effects with any medicinal materials...""It's true." Abigail finally knew what the problem was, "But with Sir Lucero's current physical condition, he cannot be replenished. This soup would have the opposite effect if he had it.""So, there's nothing wrong with this soup. It's because Sir Lucero's physique isn't suitable?" Jaeden hadn't expected that the young girl in front of him was quite capable, and she instantly knew the problem when she smelled it.Just then, the door of the operating room opened, and a nurse hurried out, "Mr. Lucero, it's great to see you! Please sign the surgery notice..."Ronan looked at the pen and paper in her hand but didn't take it. Instead, he asked in a cold voice, "How is my gr

    "Sir Lucero will be able to wake up tomorrow morning. In the following month, he is forbidden to take supplements. Don't give him supplement soup like today.""Okay." Ronan agreed and then looked at the darkening sky, "Let me treat you to dinner.""No, thanks. I should go home."It was probably seven o'clock now. Abigail took the bag, took out her phone, and checked it. As expected, her mother had called her twice.Abigail quickly called back, "Mom, I'm sorry, I was busy just now."Ronan looked at the girl talking on the phone in front of him. She had an extraordinary temperament. When she was talking to her family, her voice was soft and pleasant."OK. I'll go back now. Goodbye."Seeing that she hung up the phone, Ronan said softly, "I'll take you back.""Then take me to Moon Park. I have a car parked in the underground garage."Moon Park?It was a park under construction and it was not yet open to the public. How could her car be parked there? Why did she appear in the church?To hi

She treats an outsider better than her granddaughter!" Marlene complained, but couldn't help worrying, "I'm afraid that if Abigail doesn't leave, she will have a bad idea, like fighting with Gina over Maximo..."The family conditions of the Moore family were much better than their Guzman family!Maximo was a gentle and sensible young man. It could be seen that he cherished Gina very much and treated Gina very well...Gina wasn't bad herself. She was beautiful and gentle enough to

    "Dr. Conrad is so young, but he has a really bad temper..." Marlene couldn't help complaining as soon as she walked out of the consulting room, "Look at Maximo. He was born a rich second generation. He's so polite...""He's a genius doctor. He's a little bit arrogant because he's very popular.""Oh, just now Dr. Conrad said that someone asked him to take good care of your mother. It should be the Moore family that cares about her so much, right?"Maximo's family had a wider network than them, and they were the only ones who could help Vanessa's condition.Besides, Maximo and Gina were engaged..."It must be the Moore family. Who else could it be but them? I should treat them to dinner another day, but..." Seeing that the transfer had failed, Elliott could only let his mother stay here. He was a little unhappy."Elliott, which way did that damn girl go just now?" Suddenly, Marlene seemed to think of something, "I remember that the wards over there are quite expensive."Half of this flo

    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!

    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

    Abigail brought Reuben to the backstage of the auction, where there was only one long table. The man sitting in the middle was Leonard Harrell, the leader of the Wolf Gang.Leonard had a mixed-race face, when he smiled, the smile didn't reach his eyes, it was cold and sinister."I never expected the leader of A Gang to be a girl. Interesting, truly interesting."He gazed into Abigail's eyes, smiling with an extraordinary infatuation, "Seems like a beauty unparalleled in the mortal world."Just these clear and bright eyes alone were already captivating.I don't know how enchanting it would be to take off the mask...Reuben wished he could dig out his lecherous eyeballs. If it weren't for the boss's single-minded desire for Purple Ginseng, he would have already pulled out his knife and stabbed it into this guy's eye sockets!Abigail hooked her long legs and pulled the chair over, sitting down confidently. "It seems like buyer number one

Come over quickly, come and see!"His gaze fell upon the beauty queen dressed in revealing attire.This figure is so hot!The etiquette lady held something that looked like ginseng and placed it in an expensive wooden box. Facing the camera, she showed it to everyone."Starting bid of 30 million!"Reuben knew that the boss was going to bid on this treasure, so he quickly pressed the button several times, totaling thirty million.The other private rooms were all amazed by the extravagance of the buyer on the third floor.

After a while, someone reported their whereabouts to the leader of the Wolf Gang."Mr. Harrell, the people from A Gang came! I never expected them to have the audacity to step into our territory. It's truly a case of finding something when least expected, and it didn't take any effort at all.""Have you read any books?" Mr. Harrell took a puff of his cigarette and slowly blew it onto his face. "Do you even know ancient poetry?""Hehe, sorry for my ignorance, I only attended a few years of primary school..." the subordinate said with a flattering smile, licking his face.Not finished yet...Mr. Harrell crushed the cigarette butt fiercely on top of his head and said, "I haven't read any books, so I hate it when people show off their knowledge in front of me!""Ah..."
