She could not help but think that she was indebted to Sir for the rest of her life. “Estelle, can you think of anyone who’d do that?” Abigail continued, “It’s okay if you can’t. I was just giving it a shot as I remembered that you used to help out your dad in his company. You’ve always been more capable than me and you must have more friends in this field. Although, I did think about the times you and Skyler… Oh wait, I’m going to refer to him as a bastard now. Anyway, as I was saying, I guess you stopped getting involved in corporate matters after what happened with the both of you, right? It’s alright, I’ll keep asking around.” “Abigail…”“Yeah?”“I might know who the person is.”Abigail looked at her knowingly, her voice carried hints of uncertainty when she finally asked, “Don’t tell me… it’s the Sir that you’re talking to?”Estelle nodded lightly. “It’s him.”“Well, can I meet him then? Since he graced my family with such a big favor, my dad wants to meet and personally t
“Oh, speak of the devil, there they are!” Abigail spotted the lovebirds and she wore an expression that could kill. Estelle came back to her senses and looked toward the direction Abigail gazed toward. She saw how affectionately Camilla held onto Skyler’s arms. Camilla then said something to Skyler and he almost immediately bent down to check her legs. He responded quickly as if he was really worried. Camilla then stomped her foot in a rather coquetry manner, and Skyler flashed her a doting smile while he helplessly stood back up. Both of them then entered a jewelry shop together. “What are they doing in a jewelry shop?” It was as if Abigail suddenly realized something, she then exclaimed, “Please tell me Skyler isn’t planning on proposing to that phony?”Unfixing her gaze, Estelle replied in a composed manner. “He ought to be married by now.” Camilla and Skyler’s marriage was postponed for almost six years. If it was not for Estelle, Camilla would have already been Mrs. Flynn
Estelle forced an awkward smile and returned the rings to the salesperson. “My apologies. We won’t be getting these rings, thank you.”The salesperson simply nodded as she already guessed they had no intentions of buying the rings. She quickly pulled into a flattering smile and showed the rings to both Skyler and Camilla. “Mr. and Mrs. Flynn, this is the latest couple rings that we have in store. It’d make the perfect wedding rings for the both of you.” “Mrs. Flynn?” Camilla waved her hands in an attempt to deny it, “I’m not Mrs. Flynn yet.”The saleslady smiled and added, “Seeing how Mr. Flynn brought you here to look at these rings, I’m guessing that you’re soon to be Mrs. Flynn, right?”Camilla blushed and leaned her head onto Skyler’s shoulder. She then asked shyly, “Is that the case, Mr. Flynn?”Skyler did not respond but simply pulled into a soft smile. “Go ahead and get the measurements. We’re taking the rings.” “Right away, Sir! Let me make the necessary arrangements ri
Still caught in a daze, Abigail was dragged back into the jewelry store. She did not have a clue as to what was happening. “Hi there,” pointing to the pair of rings in front of Skyler and Camilla, Estelle put forth, “I want that pair of rings.”The saleslady was startled. “Miss, didn’t you… not want the rings just a while ago?”“I changed my mind! The ring is stunning with its simplistic design and it’s to my liking. Please wrap it up for me. Where should I make the payment?”The saleslady froze for a few seconds. “You can make the payment here at the counter. Oh, Miss, the ring can be customized, do you need me to take your measurements?”Estelle asked, “How long does it take to be customized?”“Around two months or so.”“It’s all right then. I can’t wait that long. Let me just have this pair.”Estelle handed her bank card to the saleslady. The saleslady proceeded to swipe the card. Seeing how the POS machine quickly printed out the receipt of payment, Estelle felt an odd s
Skyler took a big stride and stood in between Estelle and Camilla. He confronted Estelle angrily. “Estelle Sanders! Come at me if you have any problems! Leave Camilla alone! She’s still injured, how dare you hit her?!”“Because she hurt your son and put my family in danger!” Estelle shrieked at the top of her lungs, and tears streamed down her cheeks. “You’re such an idiot Skyler! All you do is pick on me when you don’t even care to know about the truth!”“I’ll find out the truth, but I need you to leave right now!”“I’ll leave even if you don’t ask!” Wiping off the tears on her face with the back of her hands, Estelle gritted her teeth and hissed, “Skyler Flynn, you’re heartless!”Skyler was similarly irked too. “Shouldn’t I be telling you that instead? No matter how desperate you were back then, how could you kill Aunt Frances?”“Aunt Frances…” Estelle could only let out a bitter laugh, “forget it! It doesn’t even matter if I tell you the truth! You’re not going to believe me an
Grabbing onto Skyler’s arms, Camilla sobbed. “Skyler, are you going to let her continue accusing me like that?”Judging by her response, Abigail was confident that her guess was probably right. She then continued to question Camilla. “Miss Gion, if you’re not the person I’m talking about, why aren’t you accepting my idea of going through the hospital records?” “That’s enough!” interrupted Skyler.Abigail was not having it as well. “Skyler, you were once an influential person, how did you fall in love with a phony? If you still have an ounce of sense left in you, you’d check the hospital records! That way, you’d know for sure who’s lying and who isn’t”Skyler’s face darkened. He bit on his lips and uttered rather belatedly. “I believe Camilla.”“What did you say?” Abigail was dumbfounded, “you believe her? Are you out of your mind?”Skyler retorted. “Miss Sloan, you’ve had your fun today, haven’t you? I’ll let you off the hook as we were once high school mates and your dad and I
[I will.]For some reason, it was as if she could hear Sir’s voice through his text messages, especially the ‘okay’ that he added at the end of his text. It was like when they slept together, side by side.It was like he was whispering those words right into her ears. “Estelle, let’s go get you a new outfit. This ring’s too stunning and we should get something to match it!” Estelle felt that it was too much of an effort. “Abigail, I don’t feel like it.”“Oh come on, I insist! I promised to get you a piece of jewelry but you ended up getting it yourself instead. It won’t take long to get a new outfit. Come on now, I’m going to make sure you’re dressed well today!” Abigail stopped her car in front of a boutique. Dragging along Estelle with her, she assured. “Estelle, pick whichever outfit that you like. Though I wasn’t able to afford the jewelry, I’m happy to buy you several outfits.”Estelle eventually gave in and followed her into the shop. The boutique was rather famous
Abigail was satisfied with his reaction. “See, I told you I wasn’t lying.”The guy came back to his senses and quickly wiped his hands on this shirt before reaching out his hands to Estelle. “Hello there beautiful, I’m Yuri.”Estelle reached out and gently shook his hands before letting go. “Hello, I’m Estelle.” “Wow, even your name sounds pretty!”Crossing her hands in front of her, Abigail snickered, “What a good old lad you are Yuri. A while ago on the phone, you were still acting up. Why are you acting all timid now?”Feeling slightly embarrassed, Yuri blushed and replied, “You said you’re bringing a pretty friend, but I didn’t expect someone this beautiful! Plus, being the tom-boy you are, we thought we’re your only friends. How are you even friends with someone like her? I’m guessing you brought her to boast…” Abigail rebutted angrily, “What did you just say?”“Yeah yeah, all right. Miss Sanders, are you an actress?”“No, I’m not.”“Oh, then what do you do?”“I…” Este
