Chapter 269 Gabriel''s nder


    Daniel, keeping his cool and donning a cheeky smile, responded to Gabriel''s usation, "Gabriel,


    what do you mean I have ill intentions?"


    "You know exactly what you''re up to!" Gabriel was intent on defaming Daniel without any evidence,


    so his retorts were vague.


    As Daniel prepared to retort, Abigail cut him off, "Stop arguing already, just treat my dad!"


    "Yes, ma''am!" Daniel replied dutifully.


    Hearing ''ma''am,'' Brittany snapped, pointing an using finger at Daniel, "Ma''am? Who are you


    calling ''ma''am''?"


    "Definitely not you, you bitch!"


    "You... you country bumpkin, you dare call me a bitch? And you dare hit on another woman right in


    front of me?"


    "Why can''t I call otherdies ''ma''am''? Who do you think you are?"


    "Who am I? Please rify your own status here!"

    "What status do I have? I''m just your fake boyfriend, nothing real about that. There are no rtives


    of yours here; do you have the right to stop me from chatting up other prettydies?"


    "Chatting up, eh? You''re only hitting on Abigail because she''s Liam''s daughter. You''re just a male


    gold-digger!"


    After berating Daniel, Brittany turned to Abigail to offer her ''friendly'' advice, "Abigail, this country boy


    is not a good man, be careful not to get deceived by him."


    "He''s not a good man? Then why are you hanging out with him? Why do you have him pretend to


    be your boyfriend?" Abigail was bewildered.


    "Maybe she''s just trying to seduce me! But I''m an upright wolf, I won''t fall for her tricks."


    While bantering back and forth, Daniel administered acupuncture to Liam. When the Needle of the


    Seven Dragons went in, Liam''s legs kicked powerfully like those of a frog.


    This movement amused Gabriel, who couldn''t help but joke, "A frog?"


    Hisment angered Abigail, and sheshed out at him, "You''re the frog!"


    To divert from the awkward moment and recoup some dignity, Gabriel tried to distract everyone by


    eximing, "I get it now! I understand this chatan''s n. He''s a shaman and insists on using


    acupuncture, which needs to be practiced on corpses. So, under the guise of reviving Liam, he''s


    actually using Liam''s body to practice his acupuncture! Liam''s movement is just a reflex triggered by


    the chatan hitting a specific point that stimted a nerve, it’s not a sign of himing back to


    life."


    After finishing his monologue, Gabriel felt quite proud of himself, thinking he had cleverly seen


    through the chatan''s ns.


    Having had her reservations about Daniel from the beginning, Abigail found Gabriel''s analysis quite


    usible after listening to him. She eyed Daniel warily and asked, "Is what Gabriel said true? Are


    you using my dad''s body to practice acupuncture?"


    Instead of answering directly, Daniel countered, "What do you think?"
