Abby was wide-eyed, unable to believe that Garry knew her identity. For several years, she had been able to walk free without anyone knowing, but now it seemed to be the end of her quest for revenge.Stammering and unable to utter any words in her shock, Abby just stared at the man in front of her."Why are you so surprised?" the man asked. "I've been looking for you for a long time. You disappeared like the earth, and so did your father.""What do you want? You've destroyed my family; now, what do you want?"Garry's expression instantly changed when he heard Abby's accusation. He shook his head vaguely, still not shifting the gaze that Abby could not translate."What do you mean, did something happen to you guys?"Abby shook her head in disbelief. This man was Garry Emerson, wasn't he? Why did he not seem to remember his actions? Or was it just a charade to keep Abby from further acting against them?Or maybe they were the ones who were organizing a plan to destroy her.Abby wanted n
"Have you heard from Jude?" asked Abby, who was still worried about Alice, who had disappeared, and Jude, who had not heard from her. Gin just shook his head.He was also waiting for the news that Jude had promised. He repeatedly offered to help, but he refused. He would save Alice while Gin had to look after Abby.It was late in the day, and there was no way the man would give any news. Even if they were already on site, they would be working on a plan to free Alice."I'll go look for her," Abby said as she got up, but she was quickly intercepted by Gin and Zac, who already knew the news of Alice's disappearance."Abby, let Doctor Gregory do it. He asked me to look after you because he feels you are being targeted.""Who's after me? They won't find anything on me."Abby was wrong. If she meant treasure, there was a lot to be gained from her. The same could be said for herself. The criminals were stalking Abby. Not others. It had to be jealousy if Zac was to be believed."According to
"Sid? What are you doing here?" chided Monica to her sister, who was also caught just like her—sitting on a chair in a dimly lit room, lit only by a bulb. "I told you, you are on guard at the headquarters. Why are you doing this kind of foolishness?""What about you? You were caught yourself. What do you have to say, huh?"Monica was silent as Sidney shot at her with a sarcastic, obviously true sentence. No one knew what the dream was last night that their plan had failed so miserably. Before they even got what they wanted, at least to teach Abby a lesson, she had been caught."I know why you're here," Monica added, deflecting her sister's question without any intention of answering. Such rhetoric was not crucial for her to respond to. "You must not trust me; that's why you followed me. Let's be honest.""I–" Sidney could not respond quickly to her sister's accusation. It was true; that was the truth.It was only natural that she had her doubts. Several times, Monica had failed missio
Not many expected this, including Gin when one of Zac's confidants, who he said was one of the men he could rely on to help find Alice, was a familiar face to the Genovhia family.Gin's eyes almost glazed over as the man entered the room and removed the distinctive brown hat and coat he always wore, even when meeting Abby."Mr. Thompson?" muttered Gin, still unable to believe what he saw. Did this mean the man had betrayed his sister?"Hi, Young Master Genovhia," the man greeted when he saw Gin in the room with the others. Gin was the only one he recognized, so to the others, he only bowed slightly. "What can I do for you, Mr. Emerson?"The man was immediately quick to ask the task Zac was going to give him. Meanwhile, Gin, who felt trapped in this, immediately grabbed the shirt collar of the man who had not yet sat in his chair and dragged him out of the room regardless of his brother-in-law's call.He was on the verge of throwing a punch if Mr. Thompson didn't stop him immediately.
A fierce duel was inevitable between Jude and the man standing guard, along with some of the men who eventually moved to all sides to confront Jude's friend, who had managed to fend off the criminals attacking them outside."Jude, come in; I'll deal with them. Save Alice!" commanded one of them, who seemed to be the most elegant among the others and had been trying to block the attack on Jude.This time, however, the gang's boss would not let Jude go. He insisted the man stay there to fight the last drop of blood. Jude didn't mind doing that and still faced him, but his friend didn't let that happen. Again, Jude protected his position so he could immediately enter the room where Alice was. He managed to break down the door, which was already rickety and saw Alice trying to free herself by scraping the broken glass on the rope that bound her. Instead of breaking the rope, it was her hand that was scratched by the object, and she was helpless except to grimace in pain as the blood con
According to some, including Zac, everything was going well, and he was living a beautiful and passionate married life. However, he had no idea that a time bomb was about to explode. He only envisioned a life of love with Abby, who showed the same towards him.For Zac, Abby's attitude was getting better, and Abby didn't understand what she was going through. She became very attached to Zac and was reluctant to let him go to work or the slightest distance so that she would sulk."Al, do you know what I'm experiencing is very strange? How is it possible, who has been reluctant to get close to Zac except to attract attention and ensnare him with a love trap so that he falls into my trap for revenge, now everything seems to be reversed? I hate being apart from him." Abby wrung her hair in frustration while at the office and received a visit from her best friend. "Is there something wrong with me?"Alice held her chin and looked thoughtful. She had never experienced the same thing; even th
Alice was relieved she had good instincts, especially regarding her best friend. If not, who knew what would have happened to Abby by now? It could be worse than this. She felt terrible when she learned that Abby had asked her to take her to a suspicious location. She had heard many things about the district. High crime, looting, robbery, even murder. Another one that worried Alice was the high abortion rate.Abby probably wouldn't do it, but what if she did?Alice followed where her friend was going, and when she entered a secluded alley, she knew her instincts were right. She was now pointing a gun at men dressed as doctors and medical staff—Alice wasn't sure if they were actually in the profession. There was no way a doctor would sully his title for the immoral deeds they were doing now."I'm Detective Denver. Let her go, or I'll take you to jail," Alice said firmly, gun in hand. The others raised their hands, allowing the convincing-looking woman to take Abby away.Alice left no
"Are you busy today? Mom and Dad asked us to come over for dinner. But if you don't want to, it's fine if we don't come," Zac said as he shaved while Abby cleaned up his work clothes that had just been washed.Something she'd never done before—cleaning up after herself. Even though several servants were ready to help or do everything for her, for now, she felt like doing everything, even taking care of Zac's needs at home and work.Abby's movements stopped when she heard Zac's words. Instantly, she remembered what happened on her wedding day. She shouldn't have been afraid and asked Garry what made him so sure of his words. It could be that this was her chance.The other thing that makes Abby do it is Gin's statement, which says everything that happened to their family resulted from Sidney's father, Robert Marra. If that was true, then what role did Garry play? That was what she needed to find out.One way was to get close to the head of the Emerson family."Okay, no problem. We'll go
