Chapter 1351

Lydia, confident in how to handle Abigail thanks to instructions from her hirer, still felt a twinge of guilt when confronted. "I'm the one in charge here. There's nobody else."Abigail's gaze was piercing. "Look into my eyes and say that one more time."Lydia battled her guilt. "What's up with you? Has someone been talking to you? Come on, sit down. Let's chat."A slight smile appeared on Abigail's face. "Maybe I'm just reading too much into things.""What's on your mind?""Just thinking out loud." Abigail shrugged it off.After a brief pause, Lydia said, "How about you crash at my place tonight? We could really talk it out.""No thanks, I better head home."Abigail began to leave, moving slowly and heavily as if each step was a struggle. As she stepped out of Lydia's house, she stumbled a bit, and Lydia was quick to offer support."I'll walk you home, Abigail."Abigail withdrew her arm. "No need. I'll go by myself."A few steps away, Abigail crouched down, sneaking a glanc

Abigail was on the edge. "He's avoiding me? I'll just have to find him myself." She headed back inside.Just a few days ago, Lydia had pointed out that the third floor was off-limits, a private area. But Abigail was sure that if Xander was in the villa, he would be hiding there. Determined, she headed straight to the third floor, unchallenged. It led to the master bedroom, a massive suite that was neat and organized but strangely lifeless, as if no one really lived there. It lacked any personal touch that Abigail could recognize. A sinking feeling began to gnaw at her.'Could the online gossip about Xander's death actually be true? Maybe Ron was correct, and Xander is no longer with us.'Suddenly, a wave of sharp, numbing pain overwhelmed Abigail, leaving her too weak to stand. Murmuring to herself, she asked, "Did I arrive too late? Did I learn the truth only after it was too late?" But unexpectedly, as she turned around, she was greeted by a very familiar face. "Grandma?"Margare

Kane glanced back at Margaret and then at Nathan, who was lying on the bed without moving. "Don't worry, Old Madam. Nathan hasn't woken up yet, but his vital signs are steady."Margaret felt a bit more at ease knowing Nathan's vital signs were stable. She stepped into the room, her eyes also resting on Nathan. "He figured out that Abigail was suspecting something, so he told me to rush over to Valtara to help him out. I followed his plan, but I'm not sure. Are we really doing the right thing for Abigail by going along with this?"Margaret remembered the look of utter despair on Abigail's face earlier and began to doubt their actions. She had been close to revealing the truth to Abigail, even considering bringing her to see Nathan. Yet, ultimately, Margaret chose to respect Nathan's wishes. They had hidden the truth from Abigail for so long; it seemed wrong to give up now.Kane said, "I've talked to Nathan about this, but just look at him. His biggest fear right now is Abigail seeing

"I did it all for Abigail, really. I didn't want her to end up alone so young. That's why I went along with Xander's plan and kept her in the dark. After she and Xander split, I pretended to be clueless. I was pretty mad at Xander, and at the same time, I tried to find new guys for Abigail.I figured with all the awesome guys I knew, she'd definitely find someone she liked. But things just didn't go the way I thought they would. Everything went off the rails. And Dana, seeing Abigail so upset, it makes me wonder if helping Xander keep that secret is really the right thing to do.""Mr. Blau..." Edward rushed over, cutting off Johann's monologue. "I found out something. Lydia next door, she's definitely up to something."Johann looked intrigued. "Is she connected to the Zane family?"Edward confirmed with a nod. "Yeah, she is. And I think Abigail is onto her too. She went next door just a bit ago to check things out."Johann raised his eyebrows in surprise. "That kid is still causin

Before Johann had a chance to speak, Abigail quickly said, "As soon as I'm done with this job, I'm going back to Florivera."Johann was instantly worried. "Are you mad at—""No, Grandpa, I'm not mad at you. I made a deal with Mel and Fee. We all run the studio together, so it's only fair that I do my part and not just share the profits, right?""That makes sense, but—"Abigail interrupted him again, gazing at her grandmother's photo. "Grandma, I've been living like you told me to, doing well all this time. The baby will be born soon. I'll bring the little one to North Florivera to see you." She stood up. "Grandpa, I'm going to bed. You should hit the hay early too.""Let me walk you to your room."Abigail gently refused, "No need for that. You probably want to spend more time talking with Grandma. Take your time."Johann, still worried, got up as well. "Abigail..."Abigail flashed him a comforting smile. "I'm really fine. Don't worry about me."Johann reluctantly accepted her

Abigail felt overwhelmed, like a thousand needles were pricking her heart. It was a strange mix of pain and numbness, so intense yet so hard to feel."Abigail, what's caught your eye?"Midway through their journey, Stella, who had just woken up from a three-hour nap, was finally alert. She had been awake for some time, but Abigail was too lost in her own thoughts, gazing out the window. Curious, Stella looked in the same direction but found nothing particularly captivating.Abigail spun around. "You're up?""Yeah. What's got your attention? Why not catch some sleep?"Abigail did not want to drag Stella down with her worries, so she came up with a reason. "It's my first gig as a screenwriter on a film set. I'm a bit on edge."Stella held her hand reassuringly. "I've got your back. Don't be scared of anything."Abigail managed a smile. "Speaking of which, what did Lucas need from you during New Year?""He wanted to play chess with my dad.""Do you think I'm a toddler or somethin

Abigail had no interest in superstars; she was far more inclined to watch the works of artistic actors, so she had no idea what short of shows Kaleb had starred in before.The sole reason she knew about Kaleb was because of Melody.Melody was the type that would change her "hubby" after every drama she watched, and for a period of time, all she was yapping into Abigail's ears was how good-looking Kaleb was.Indeed, many felt that Kaleb had a face blessed by the gods, but a person's view of beauty had always been subjective and Abigail was never able to figure out what was so good about his looks.However, she had to lie that she was a fan of his. It would certainly offend him if she could not even name a work of his.Abigail wanted to use her phone to check, but with him staring at her, there was no way she could do that.Fortunately, her long years working with Xander had accustomed her to all sorts of situations, and she had ways to deal with such a person."Mr. Kaleb, I like

As it was difficult to fall asleep again after waking up at this hour, Abigail got up to make her bed.Who knew that not only was the air conditioning shut off, there was no hot water supply in the room as well.It just so happened that someone then knocked on her room door."Who's there?" Abigail asked.A girl's voice then came from outside, "Ms. Renee, I'm Mr. Loam's assistant."'Why is Kaleb's assistant looking for me?' Abigail wondered.As she was perplexed, Abigail opened the door. "Hello, is there something you need of me?""Is the air conditioning and hot water service in your room not working?" the girl asked."Yeah," Abigail responded."How are you going to wash up without hot water on such a cold day? Mr. Loam is staying in a suite, how about you follow me to his room?" the girl then added.She was unfamiliar with Kaleb, and not to mention in terms of propriety, there was no way Abigail would go to his suite to wash up. "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm already

It was only then did Stella notice that Abigail's face, nose and hands were red. "Abigail, why did you not turn the air conditioning on? It's so cold in here.""I thought the AC was broken, but the front desk staff told me that aside from you and a few other VIPs, the production team didn't allow the turning on of the air conditioning for the rest of us to save cost."Stella had encountered all sorts of strange things across her long career in acting, and this was quite normal. "I'm staying in a suite, so come over and stay with me."Abigail took the breakfast tray from Stella and placed it on the small tea table in the room. "You're not afraid I'll eavesdrop on your trade secrets and me taking paparazzi shots of you to sell if you let me stay in your room?""Are you that sort of person?" Stella scoffed."I may not be now, but I dare not say I won't be that sort of person in the future. Human hearts are the most prone to change. You have a privileged identity, so have due diligenc

She held onto Abigail and reminded the latter again and again, fearing that Abigail would just suffer in silence.At 10:00 a.m., both of them appeared together at the ceremony.Stella was the main lead and so she was surrounded by many people as soon as she showed up.There was no one that Abigail knew so she quietly stepped away and tried to look for an inconspicuous space to "hide" herself.Unexpectedly, someone called her name out the next second, "Abigail..."Abigail turned back and saw Kaleb looking at her with a smile."Good morning, Mr. Loam!" Abigail greeted him."Did you forget your notebook?" Kaleb asked.Abigail had spent the night writing in that notebook and it was kept securely inside her bag.She quickly took it out and handed it to Kaleb with both hands. "I dare not even think of troubling you, Mr. Loam, and I didn't expect you to still remember this."Kaleb took the notebook, gave it a cursory glance and then took out the lipstick in his pocket and wrote a fe
