Abigail finally convinced Felix and Melody to allow her not to spend the night at the hospital after eloquently talking to them about it. Melody was still nagging after they got into the car to go home. "Stinky Caterpie, you don't have any external wounds. But what if you have internal injuries? I went to buy daily necessities for you. And yet, you still didn't want to stay overnight in the hospital."Abigail pinched her face. "I'm fine. Why should I stay in the hospital? My bed at home is more comfortable than the bed in the hospital. I've been away from home for one and a half months. I didn't sleep well most nights. I miss my bed so much."Felix held the steering wheel tightly. He had a lingering fear as he said, "You were lucky tonight. It was so close. We almost might not be able to see you for the rest of our lives."After they had their grilled food earlier that night, Felix went to the car park to bring the car over while Melody went to the washroom. When Abigail was waiting

Abigail was frightened when she heard Xander say that. She instinctively took a step back to quickly distance herself from him.When he saw that she was clearly avoiding him, his eyes under the silver-rimmed glasses darkened. "You can't get a taxi at this villa area at night. There are guest rooms on the second floor. You can pick any room you like and stay for the night."Abigail was speechless.'So, this was what he meant. I had the wrong idea.'Xander stood up and grabbed a first aid kit. He took out a green medical cream from it. "Apply this on your wound after you shower.""Thank you, Mr. Zane!" Abigail unashamedly took the cream. But she felt that she did not need to stay there overnight.Although they would stay on different floors, she felt it was not right that they were alone. "I'm afraid that I'll disturb your rest. So, I shouldn't spend the night here."Xander said, "I'll sleep on the third floor. And you'll sleep on the second floor. How can you disturb me? Are your

"You're still pestering my brother. Haven't you shamed him enough? I'm telling you to get lost now. Get the hell out!"The girl was outraged when she scolded Abigail. Abigail was confused.Luckily, Xander spoke in time to stop her, "Esther Zane, do you know what you're talking about?! Apologize now!"His voice was gloomy. He did not allow her to fight back. He was imposing and powerful."Xander, you want me to apologize to this shameless woman?" In Esther's over twenty years of life, this was the first time Xander was so fierce to her. She felt wronged as she cried, "You were never fierce to me since I was a kid. But now you actually yelled at me for a woman who cheated."She burst into tears and her snot was flowing out. She cried heartbrokenly, "Xander, this woman slept with another man. Do you want to act as if nothing had happened?"Only now Abigail understood what was happening. Esther mistook her for someone else.She was so unlucky. Just because she worked alongside Xande

Abigail did not want to play dumb and wanted to avoid having any unnecessary issues. She had no backing while staying in Florivera. In contrast, Mallory had one of the Big Four Families, the Guzman family, behind her.It would be as easy as stepping on an ant if Mallory wanted to move on her. Her past experiences informed her that she needed to be more adaptable and tactful when going through society. That way, you can protect yourself much better.Mallory had not expected such directness from Abigail. She was stunned before closing in to Abigail's side to whisper, "You know your place quite well, Ms. Renee. As long as you don't mess with my affairs, I won't make your life difficult."When Mallory was in front of Xander, she would act well-behaved, but once Xander left, she showed her true colors. Abigail was glad that her ability to read people was quite good and was not fooled by this woman who looked sweet on the outside but was evil on the inside. She then said, "Knowing my plac

Abigail could not understand why Xander would explain this to her. She felt nervous deep down and replied, "Mr. Zane, this is your personal affair. There's no need to inform me."Xander was also confused as to why he explained to her. He just hoped that she did not misunderstand deep down. Abigail immediately pivoted the conversation toward their work to ease the awkwardness between them. "Mr. Zane, the plan has been determined. I'll need to see it in person."Xander continued, "I had Keith to go and handle this. You'll follow me to somewhere else in a moment."Abigail remembered that Xander did not have any working schedule today. She did not know where they had to go, but she still agreed to it.They both went to the garage, where more than ten high-end luxury cars were parked inside.Xander did not call for the chauffeur. Abigail initially felt he would let her be the driver, so she automatically walked to the Bentley in which Xander usually sits. Xander instead walks to anothe
