Chapter 1001

Raymond asked, "Is how much you like someone related to how many times you've seen them?"Abigail replied, "It does, doesn't it?""Stop." Melody raised her hand to stop him and said, "I've been very clear, Mr. Seabrook. I have a boyfriend, and we're planning to get married. So, please stop talking nonsense.""Relationships can end, even marriages." Raymond pulled out his phone. "Let's exchange contact information, Ms. Mane. If you ever find yourself single again, I hope you'll think of me."Melody was infuriated. 'Who wishes for someone to break up?' she thought. "I forgot that my mom didn't prepare much food. It won't be enough for an extra person, so I can't invite you over for dinner."Raymond said, "It's okay. No need for dinner. I can just come over and hang out."Melody had encountered rude people before, but never someone this pushy. Despite her objections, Raymond somehow still ended up at Melody's apartment.Raymond held a high-ranking position at Zane Corporation, the

Even though Daisy had aged, the overall shape of her eyes and other key features likely remained the same as in her youth."Especially those eyes," Jodie said. "They look so gentle when she looks at people, but also very powerful." That was Jodie's deepest impression of Abigail's mother. She used to wonder how there could be such a captivating woman in the world, who seemed so soft and delicate, never raising her voice, as if she could be toppled by a light breeze, yet she radiated strength as if nothing could bother her. Jodie continued, "I don't know what your mom has experienced, or what happened between you two, and I'm not in a position to take sides. But I have to say, your mom is genuinely a good person. Maybe she had her reasons for leaving you and your dad back then. You should listen to her side of the story with an open mind."Abigail nodded appreciatively. "Thanks, Jodie. I will."Jodie smiled warmly. "With your dad and grandma gone, we thought you were on your own. But

Before Abigail could even answer, Raymond was already thrusting the car keys into her hand. "The medicine is in the box in the back seat. Sorry to ask, but can you grab it for me?""Sure," Abigail replied, then turned to Melody. "Mel, keep an eye on him. I'll be right back with the medicine.""Okay, be quick." Melody's gaze shifted to Raymond, her displeasure evident. She could not help but think how irresponsible he was, knowing full well he could not handle alcohol yet continuing to drink. If something were to happen, it would mean endless trouble for their family.Abigail raced downstairs, out of the building, and toward the car to grab the medicine. As she flung open the rear door and climbed in, she was startled to find a man, dressed sharply in a suit and tie, already occupying the back seat. A wave of panic washed over her as she realized she might have walked into a trap. Before she could react, the doors locked automatically, and the car accelerated abruptly. Desperately, s

Abigail asked, "Who's your boss?"The man replied, "You'll know when you get inside."Abigail looked around, trying to memorize the garden's appearance in case she got a chance to call for help and describe her location. However, the man beside her quickly made it clear that it was pointless."Don't bother, Ms. Renee. There's a device that stops phones from working in this area outside the house. Your phone still won't have any signal, and you won't be able to make any emergency calls."Abigail did not say anything, thinking how terrifying it was that these people seemed to know everything she was thinking.The man spoke again, "My boss has been waiting for a while, so please hurry up."Abigail walked alone into the area outside the house. After passing through an archway, the scenery inside suddenly brightened. The buildings were so beautiful that it seemed like a place from a fairytale, completely different from the outside world. Abigail passed through the first door, and a yo

Abigail was a no-nonsense person who hated nothing more than a hypocrite. She was not in the mood for any of his nonsense. "Coffee is for friends," she said. "I don't like you, you don't like me. So, no point wasting coffee, right? Just spit it out. What do you want?"Nova said, "Who says I don't like you? Why would I bother inviting you for coffee if I didn't?"Abigail snapped, "Can we cut the act? It's exhausting." She could not stand the fake smile plastered on his face.Ignoring Abigail's outburst, Nova gestured for his staff to bring the coffee. "You standing there makes me look like a bad host. Sit down, will you? Even if you don't want the coffee."Indeed, standing was tiring, and Abigail was not one to punish herself. She walked a few steps and sat down opposite Nova. Nova did not have anyone pour her coffee; he picked up a cup himself and slowly took two sips."Do you know how to play poker, Ms. Renee?"Abigail did, but she did not want to play with him. "No."Nova said

Nova was not surprised by Abigail's response. He offered a wry smile. "People say you're naive, but I didn't believe them. I thought someone who became the executive assistant at Zane Corporation must have some intelligence, at least the ability to tell right from wrong. But today, it seems you really don't. Your grandmother died under mysterious circumstances, and you didn't investigate properly; you just took Xander's word that she was killed by a driver. Have you ever considered Xander might be responsible for your grandmother's death?"Abigail stared at Nova, her expression icy and unaffected by his words. "Don't put all the blame on Xander. I know him better than you."Nova asked, "Do you truly know him? Could it be that the Xander you see is only what he wants you to see, and you've never actually seen his real side?" He did not wait for Abigail to respond before continuing, "A decade ago, he kicked his mother out and put his father in jail. Do you know the actual reason behind

Nova looked at Xander right away. "So, to get you to see me, I really had to invite your wife first."Abigail realized that Nova's target had always been Xander, and she was just a tool for Nova to meet Xander. Xander's gaze swept over Nova. He quickly moved to Abigail's side, holding and examining her."Did he do anything to you?"Abigail shook her head. "Why are you here?"Xander touched her head. "I'll tell you why later. For now, go outside. Paxton is waiting for you.""I want to stay with you."In Abigail's eyes, Nova was heartless because he never treated Xander as family. To him, Xander was expendable. So, hurting Xander would be the cruelest thing for Nova to do. Abigail did not want Xander to face this situation alone. She wanted to be with him and hoped Xander would let her.Xander smiled. "Listen, this is between me and this jerk. I can handle it, so don't worry.""But I—" Abigail began.Xander cut her off, "I don't want you mixed up in this."Xander was so direct

Abigail was afraid that he might do something rash, so she quickly ran back and hugged him. "Calm down, Nathan. He only insulted me a little, and I've dealt with it in my own way."Whether it was her words or her warm embrace that did the trick, the fierceness in Xander's eyes vanished instantly, leaving only tenderness. "Why did you come back? Wait outside for me."Abigail said, "Just promise me you won't do anything stupid, okay?"Xander smiled. "Don't worry. I can take him down a million different ways without leaving a trace or getting myself into trouble."Feeling a wave of relief wash over her after hearing his words, Abigail quickly exited the house. As she stepped out through the door, she was completely unaware of the exchange happening behind her. Soon after, she spotted Paxton.Paxton apologized, "I'm really sorry, ma'am. It was my carelessness that allowed Nova's people to take you."Abigail replied, "You can't guard against a traitor. It wasn't your fault.""I was s

Xander stood with his back to her, standing tall. He and Nova seemed to be having a conversation, but Abigail could not make out any of the words. She vaguely felt a chill in the air, as if it were almost freezing. The wait was incredibly tense. Trying to distract herself, Abigail attempted to strike up a conversation with Paxton."Paxton."Paxton responded formally, "Yes, ma'am?"Abigail said, "Can you stay by his side? He won't let me stay with him, but he didn't say you couldn't. Please, stay with him."Paxton reassured her, "Mr. Zane is very powerful; Nova won't be a match for him. You can relax."Abigail was not questioning Xander's abilities; she was scared that Nova would emotionally hurt Xander by bringing up family issues. Even though Xander seemed uncaring, he actually cared a lot about others. Facing the truly uncaring Nova, even if Xander won on the outside, he might still feel hurt inside. But she did not know how to share these feelings with Paxton, so all she could

Abigail's cheeks were rosy, and she pressed her lips together. Xander, catching her subtle reactions, tenderly soothed her puffy lips with his thumb.He asked, "Did I hurt you when I kissed you?"Abigail slightly nodded, murmuring, "A bit."Xander asked again, "If it was painful, why didn't you pull away?"Abigail suddenly threw herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. "Because I want you to know that no matter what, I'll always be by your side."Xander cradled her soft body that nestled into his arms and gently rubbed her back with one hand. "Why don't you believe what Nova said?"Abigail replied, "Why should I believe him?"Xander asked, "He said so many things to discredit me; didn't you ever doubt that maybe I really did those terrible things?"Abigail covered his mouth with her hand. "I won't let you talk nonsense."Xander removed her hand from his mouth and kissed it gently. "Abigail, I am Nathan, and Nathan is me. There's never been a twin brother, as
