"I don't care what my first name is. As long as my last name is Renee, I'll like it," Mallory said.Abigail said, "You can't just pick any name, you know." She thought hard for a while and finally came up with a name she liked. "What do you think of the name 'Lucia'?" Lucia meant light. Abigail hoped that with the new name, Mallory could leave behind any sadness. She wanted Mallory to have a happy and bright life."I like it. It's a good name," Mallory said happily."Lucia, Lucia," Susanna chimed in. "I think it sounds great too.""Okay, let's settle on the name then," Mallory said.Abigail nodded in agreement.After the excitement, Lucia started to worry again. "It won't be easy to get adopted and change our family records from the Guzman family."Abigail smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry about it. Leave it to me. No matter how much the Guzman family makes it difficult, I'll make sure the adoption goes through."As they were talking, the doorbell rang. Susanna hurried to open

"Let me get this straight," Malcolm said. "I worked all day, and now I have to give you both a present?""Why not?" Abigail said, smiling."You might as well change your last name to Scrooge, like Scrooge McDuck," Malcolm joked."Malcolm," Abigail responded playfully, "you can give us a gift now, and when you get married, I'll give you an even bigger one. I promise it'll be worth it.""I don't even plan on getting married, so how would I get your gift?" Malcolm asked.Abigail rolled her eyes at him. "You have a new girlfriend every day and don't plan on marrying any of them? You're wasting these women's time. You're such a jerk."Malcolm defended himself, "Jerks say they love you but then go chasing after someone else. I'm honest from the start. I give her the money she wants, and she gives me happiness. We both get what we need, and if we get bored, we can split. How is that being a jerk?""Twisted logic," Abigail retorted."How is that twisted?" Malcolm argued. "I'm a good gu

"You don't have to answer me right away," Abigail said. "I'll be here with you at home, taking care of you while you get better. Just take your time to think about it. Once you're all healed up, I'll take you back to North Florivera to visit Grandma and Dad. I bet they'd be so happy, looking down from heaven, knowing that I found you.""Okay," Lucia said, nodding. "You and Essy told me before that I should have my own career. I've been thinking about it, and I'd like to try going out to work," she whispered, afraid that Abigail might say no. When she was with the Guzman family, Max always belittled her whenever she talked about wanting a job, saying she was not cut out for any work. But she still wanted to prove herself.Abigail said, "Of course you can. You graduated from a top university and you've studied abroad. With your background, lots of companies would want to hire you.""Really?" Lucia asked."How about a bet? Put your resume online, and if you get a job, you can buy me a

When Daisy brought up the company's problems, Gavin felt defeated. "Xander is so mean," he said. "Right from the start, he was after Guzman Corporation. He's got us figured out, planning our every move. If we don't find a solution, our company will crumble soon. We won't have any place to stand in Florivera.""I might have an idea," Daisy said."You?" Gavin raised an eyebrow, looking at Daisy with disdain. "I have to admit you're good at attending to men, but what do you know about business?""I may not know about business," Daisy said, "but I do know how to win a man's heart better than you."Gavin rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. If you were twenty years younger, maybe Xander would notice you. You might still be charming, but you're no match for young women."Daisy smiled. "Don't forget, my name is Daisy, just like the mother of those two kids. No one knows that I'm not their real mother. If I pretend to be their mom, Xander won't be able to hurt me."Gavin's eyes brightened, thou

Felix shrugged. "Guess that's the only answer."Abigail said, "I know for sure Lucia is my sister. I've told you about it. You can't keep doubting her.""I'm not silly." Felix huffed.Abigail raised an eyebrow. "Who says you're not silly?""Just finish the shopping," Felix urged.After talking with Felix, Abigail went back to shopping. Before they finished, Melody called her."Caterpie, I heard from Fee that you found your real sister? Is that true?"Abigail replied, "It's true. I'll tell you the details when we meet. Tomorrow, I'm planning to take Lucia with me to North Florivera to visit Grandma's and Dad's graves and take care of Grandma's stuff." Abigail was so busy dealing with Lucia's matters in Florivera that she had not managed to sort everything out in North Florivera. She needed to go back for a few days to settle all of her grandmother's affairs.Melody said, "Alright. My boyfriend has met my parents in North Florivera today. I'll wait for you to finish, and then we
