Chapter 361

Abigail could originally keep up with Xander's long strides, but jotting down notes had made her split her attention as she collided right into the chest of an oncoming Francovian pedestrian that looked tall and muscular, causing her nose to be so painful that it almost felt as if it were crooked."I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Abigail, still covering her nose, continuously apologized, yet the other party relentlessly pointed at her nose and started scolding, holding his hand out and was about to slap her.Abigail wanted to dodge backward, but she slipped on the wet and slippery floor, only to see the hand that wanted to slap her arrive. Xander reached her in the nick of time and firmly grasped the man's hand, making him fall down with just a little force as he cursed in Francovan. She may not have understood what Xander was saying, but from his sharp gaze and the Francovian's gradually paling face, she could deduce what Xander said was definitely not friendly.The Francovian immediately r

Chapter 362

He knew Xander was not in a good mood for the past few days. But it did not seem to him that there was something wrong with Xander's health.Of course, Dr. Sander could not tell him that Xander asked her to come and check on Abigail. So, she said, "It's just a routine body check-up. I'm going to find Mr. Zane now. You may go and do your work."Keith responded, "Mr. Zane went to the restroom. You have to wait for a while."Dr. Sander said, "Okay."...Abigail went to the restroom and saw in the mirror that her nose was swollen and turned very red. It was like a cooked pig's nose, especially ugly.She thought, 'When I bumped into that guy, my nose just turned a little red. Why did it get swollen so quickly?'If I go and meet clients with Xander looking like this, I'll surely affect the image of the Zane Corporation. Xander won't tolerate it.'I must stop the bleeding now before thinking of ways to reduce the swelling quickly. I mustn't delay my work.'Abigail bent down and lower

Chapter 363

"Dr. Sander, I still have work to do. Can you put some plaster or something on my nose?" Abigail felt like having a plaster on her nose to meet clients was better than going with her ugly, red, swollen nose.A loud noise was heard.Xander slammed the documents in his hand on the table. He said, "You want to work when you're injured. Do you think the Zane Corporation can't function properly just because you're not around? Or do you want others to think that I treat my subordinate harshly?"Abigail was at a loss for words.She thought, 'He scolds everyone he meets. Is he on his period?'Or maybe he's mad because he needed to release something, but he didn't. If so, he should quickly go home and find his wife to release it. Why is he taking his anger out on innocent people like us?'Dr. Sander explained, "Reducing the swelling requires heat dissipation. It'll take longer to heal if you put on a plaster. The fastest way to recover is to go home and rest properly."Abigail did not ta

Abigail disconsolately shook her head. "It's nothing."Dr. Sander then said, "Don't blame Xander. He did that because he cared for you."Abigail noncommittally responded, "Okay."Dr. Sander did not want to continue to defend Xander.After a short while of silence, Abigail noticed she was getting closer to the house. She said, "Dr. Sander, Mr. Spencer, let's go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and prepare for Easter Eve together, okay?"Dr. Sander patted Abigail's hand and said, "What you need to do now is rest properly. Just say what you want to eat for Easter Eve. Someone will prepare the dishes for you."Abigail pointed at her nose as she responded, "Dr. Sander, do you really think I need to stay in my bed for this injury?"Dr. Sander replied, "Abigail, it's not important whether I think it's necessary or not. What matters is Xander thinks you need rest. You better listen to him."Dr. Sander's words somehow suddenly reminded Abigail of Emma and Ron.Emma mentioned

Chapter 365

Abigail asked Esther to change her initial choice to another dish. Esther replied: [Up to you!]Usually, people who said "up to you" were the most difficult to please. Esther was born into a wealthy family and had eaten all kinds of delicacies. It was probably not easy to satisfy her.Abigail did not want Esther to be disappointed during the Easter Eve dinner. So, she took out her phone to search for alternatives to roast suckling pig. After a while, she found out that only slow-roasted crispy pork belly tasted somewhat similar to roast suckling pig. Abigail decided to make this dish for Esther.For the fifth dish, Abigail decided to prepare it for Keith.Keith was from the central region. She had been working with him for a long time. So, she had some understanding of what he liked. Yesterday, he was just talking about his craving for his hometown dish, baked tilapia. Abigail decided to make this dish for him to give him a surprise.The last person was Xander, the big shot who ga

Chapter 366

Abigail was quite confident about her cooking skills. "Then, you guys can be my assistants. I'll be the main cook today."Dr. Sander was excellent at treating patients, but she could not really cook. She responded, "Sure."Abigail then asked Dr. Sander and Paxton to help her with the preparation for what they were going to cook.It would take a longer time to cook the bone broth that was needed for the lamb stew. So, Abigail started with that. She rinsed the lamb to remove any odor before putting it into the pot to stew it. She then slowly simmered the bones in the casserole.Three of them worked together, cleaning and cutting the vegetables. It did not take them long to finish preparing the vegetables.Abigail thought, 'The time in Chrysalis is six hours ahead of Paridale. The TV show will start at 8 o'clock at night. So, that'll be 2 o'clock in the afternoon in Paridale.'It's almost twelve at noon now. When Xander and the others are back from work later, it'll be just in time.

Chapter 367

Abigail was a soft touch, especially when faced with such an endearing beauty like Esther. She drew the girl into her arms, mustering her courage to confront Xander. "Mr. Zane, Essy is a grown woman. She has her own social life, her freedom to make friends. Most importantly, she has her dignity. You can't keep treating her like a child—""Take her upstairs to wash off that paint from her face."Abigail's mentally rehearsed pleas, not even a third of the way through, were abruptly cut off by Xander's sharp interjection. There was no anger in his voice, no threat of further punishment for Esther. But this only heightened Esther's fear. She shrank behind Abigail, peeking out from her side. "Are you thinking up another way to punish me?""Mr. Zane, I'll take Essy to wash up right away, make sure she's squeaky clean," Abigail said, tugging Esther away. When they were back in Esther's room, safe from Xander's line of sight and hearing, Abigail said, "Silly girl, he hasn't mentioned punish

Chapter 368

Abigail tapped her gently on the forehead. "Little missy, what on earth is going on in that pretty head of yours? What could possibly happen between your brother and me? Worst case scenario, he fires me, or takes away my salary. Would I dislike you for such petty matters?""Just remember what we said today; our bond won't change because of my brother." Esther was not worried about the scenario Abigail proposed; what she feared was Abigail learning the truth about Xander and deciding to divorce him, eventually hating her as well for being a part of the deception.When someone repeatedly emphasizes something, it shows insecurity. Abigail did not want to pry into Esther's fears but she could not let the girl continue to dwell on her worries. "Essy, are you scared of your brother, or are you scared of being confined?" Esther froze for a moment, then shook her head vigorously. Abigail asked while looking into Esther's eyes and caught a flicker of panic that passed through them. Esther's r

Chapter 369

Esther was in an absolute fury, giving Jane not an ounce of the respect due to a mother, but Jane did not appear bothered. She smiled, saying, "Essy, it's cold outside. Open the door first. If you have any grievances, we can talk about them once I'm inside."Esther barked, "My brother said, you're not welcome in this home. You can leave now, the farther the better. Don't disrupt our family reunion."Jane kept smiling. "You're grown up now. Why are you still as disrespectful as when you were a child? It seems I made a mistake by leaving you in your brother's care—look how he raised you. And how can you consider it a complete family without me?"This set Esther off, and she pounded the wall. "Jane, don't you dare speak about my brother! What right do you have?"Jane's demeanor shifted, her voice suddenly harsh. "Open the door, or have your brother speak to me.""Don't bother my brother, he doesn't even want to deal with you." Just as Esther finished speaking, Xander's deep voice ech

Chapter 370

Abigail would have liked to sneak away as well, but Xander did not give her a chance."Remember when Jane humiliated you last time? Don't you want to exact some revenge?" Xander asked.Abigail did, of course, but despite the gap between Jane and Xander, they were still mother and son, bound by blood. She, Abigail, was the outsider here. Unless she was a fool, she would not admit to her boss that she harbored thoughts of revenge against his mother.Silence."You're not saying anything?" Xander prodded."What do you want me to say?" Abigail replied.Xander looked at her reddened nose. "Does it still hurt?"Abigail, taken aback by the sudden question, quickly shook her head. "No, it doesn't hurt anymore.""If you truly don't want to be in the same space as Jane, you can leave after she apologizes," Xander added.Abigail did not believe that Jane, with her superior airs, would ever lower herself to apologize to a mere assistant. She did not want to put Xander in a tough spot. "Mr.
