Chapter 206
Perhaps it was because Valerie had never seen Abigail so dominant; she couldn''t help but be taken
aback by her sudden change in attitude.
The whole time, she felt that Abigail was a little too aloof, but wasn''t there a lot of doctors the same? In
addition, Abigail was very polite to her, so when she really blew her top in front of her, she was
dumbstruck all of a sudden.
At this time, Greg also looked a little displeased. He knew that the children were Abigail''s everything all
these years, and now, Valerie suspected her and even took her children away. Even though she said
that she had sent them away, she had probably detained them.
They''re my daughters!
Suddenly, Greg said coldly, "Mom, where are Alissa and Arianna? Abigail is the one who brought them
up by herself all these years, and you have no right to take them away without informing her. She
ced the children here because she trusted you. How can you do this?"
"I have my reason for doing this."
Valerie''s face flushed from her son''s questioning, and when Abigail saw that she didn''t want to reveal
the children''s whereabouts, she couldn''t be bothered speaking with her anymore.
For Greg''s sake, she had already given Valerie the respect and politeness she deserved, but Valerie
took advantage of the fact that she was an elder and went beyond her boundaries. This was a ssic
example of offering an inch and taking a mile. Valerie may be their grandmother, but she had no right to
hide her children from Abigail.
Does she really think that I''m a pushover? With this thought in mind, Abigail whisked out her phone
directly and called out a number.
"Addison, bring the men and look through the city for Alissa and Arianna. Regardless of where they
are, I want to see them in an hour, and no matter who tries to stop this, I''ll be responsible if there are
any deaths or injuries!"
The assertiveness in her voice almost made Valerie pass out from the anger. What does she mean that
she will be responsible for any deaths and injuries? Does she really think that the Buckley''s men are
made of paper?
"Abigail Kain, are you nning to disobey me? You''re not even married into the family yet, and this is
how you treat your mother-inw? Is this your upbringing and character?"
"That depends on the person. Old Madam Buckley, do you think that you''re worthy of my upbringing
and character after everything you did today?" Now, Abigail didn''t even bother mincing her words with
Valerie anymore. "For Greg''s sake, I respected you and was even willing to keep a low profile to please
you, but that doesn''t mean that I''m afraid of you. That''s just because I like your son and gave you and
your son basic respect, but I expected the respect to be mutual. Did you respect me, Old Madam
Buckley? When others distort the truth, it''s fine if you don''t believe me. You can always get it verified,
but you don''t have the right to take my children away without my permission, much more do a paternity
test on them without my approval! They''re still children and think that you''re their grandmother. They
trust you, but what about you? What are you doing to them?"
After she said her piece, she turned and left.
"Abigail!"
Greg grabbed her hand, terrified that it would mean the end of their rtionship with her leaving so
resolutely.
Actually, Abigail couldn''t bear to let go of this rtionship as well, but right now, she really didn''t have
the heart or want to stay here. Not when there are people who would distrust and disrespect her to this
extent.
"Greg, it''s not suitable for us to be together under such circumstances now. So, let''s take a break and
speak again when we''ve cooled down."
While she said that, she was distraught and even felt her heart wrench in agony. However, she really
couldn''t bring herself to face both of them now.
"Abigail, it''s fine if you want to cool down, but don''t say things like it''s not suitable for us to be together.
I forbid it and won''t agree to it, either!"
While Greg sounded determined as he voiced his feelings, Abigail didn''t say anything. In the end, she
pried off his fingers from her wrist one by one and left without turning back.
"Abigail!"
"Stay right there, Greg!"
Valerie growled and started coughing violently due to agitation when she saw that Greg was about to
chase after Abigail.
As Greg was brought up single-handedly by Valerie, he halted in his tracks and got her a ss of water
when he heard her coughing, especially when he knew that she hadn''t recovered fully from her
operation.
After Valerie drank the ss of water, she also recovered her breath, but it was already toote for him
to chase after Abigail at this time.
Valerie muttered softly when she noticed the dejection in her son''s eyes, "Look how determined she
was when she left. That goes to show that she doesn''t have deep feelings for you. My silly child, you''re
too engrossed in this. None of the women who came from Hitman Ind are sincere."
"Mom, don''t force me to leave you."
Valerie''s face fell instantly upon hearing that. "What do you mean?"
"The Buckley Group is the property of your family. I''ll get awyer to sort out the assets and ask
someone to send them to you. I won''t take a single penny from all subsidiaries of Buckley Group, and if
you would like to have Night Assasino, I can give it to you as well."
Although he spokeposedly and calmly, his words were anything but. She was rendered utterly
speechless by what he said due to the disbelief that he would go this far for a woman like Abigail.
"Have you lost your mind? Without the Buckley Group and Night Assasino, what would you have?
You''ll just be a penniless pauper. Do you think she''ll still stay by your side if you lose your status as the
young master of the Buckley Family? Don''t be dumb, my child. That woman isn''t as simple as you
thought!"
"She''s a straightforward woman. She doesn''t see the point in hiding her affections, and she definitely
wouldn''t hide it if she detests someone. So what if I''m no longer the young master of the Buckley
Family? I''ll rely on my wife to live my days, then. Maybe she''ll even treat me better this way."
Greg was probably the only one who could sound so arrogant when speaking about being a kept man,
and Valerie was so mad that she could feel the violent urge to smack some sense into her son.
However, she managed to regain herposure and suppress her anger as she grounded her son.
"Go back to your room and stay there. Before the results of the paternity tests are out, you''re not
allowed to go anywhere."
"Mom, you really went overboard with the paternity test," he said, picked up his jacket, and headed out.
"Stop him!"
During her heyday, Valerie was also an influential figure, and right now, she was so infuriated at her
son that she utterly lost control of her temper as she ordered the guards to detain her son.
Immediately, the bodyguards outside barged in.
"Mr. Buckley, don''t make it difficult for us."
Unfortunately, he merely tossed his jacket aside and sneered. "Come all at once. I''m in a rush to look
for my wife. Don''t hold me up."
"What arrogance! Nobody taught you a lesson all these years, and you clearly need someone to take
you down a peg." Then, at Valerie''s signal, all the bodyguards lunged simultaneously.
This fight was a little challenging for Greg because these people had trained with him all these years,
and everyone was familiar with each other''s skills. Therefore, after all the bodyguards were lying on the
ground, Greg was also covered in bruises.
He was hurting and was in so much pain that he almost couldn''t hold on anymore, but he didn''t want to
keel over due to his injuries just to give his mother the satisfaction of controlling him.
Finally, as he held onto his consciousness with an iron-d will, he cast aplicated look at Valerie
but didn''t say a word to her before he simply left.
Just then, the butler, Lisa, came out, nced at Valerie, and said in a low voice, "Madam, Master Greg
will hate you for doing this."
"So be it. The woman by his side shouldn''t be ipetent. I''ve spoiled this kid, and he became
wantonly mboyant just because he was a little capable, creating so many enemies. There are so
many eyes on him, whether in the open or in the dark. I''m a mother as well as a woman. Of course, I
know how it feels to be in love. But just love alone isn''t going to work. Sometimes, some people are
destined not to live as they want."
She sounded a little sad, and Lisa asked in puzzlement, "But in the beginning, you picked Dr. Kain for
Master Greg yourself. Back then, she was just a doctor."
"Yes, she was just a doctor back then, and it''s alright if she''s just a doctor. Abigail possesses all the
traits that I want as a wife for my son; she''s realistic but not calctive, immacte, decisive, and
calm. These are all her strengths as well. So, even if she''s a nobody, these characteristics satisfy the
conditions for her to stay by Greg''s side. But she came from Hitman Ind, and you know the
background of the women from that ind. I''m not asking my future daughter-inw to glorify Greg, but
at least she shouldn''t bring him trouble and create more enemies. That''s why they''re not suited for
each other. While they''re still not in too deep yet, it''s better for them both to be separated." She took
the tea from the butler''s hands and then took a sip and continued, "How are the children?"
"Yes, we''ve arranged for everything. The youngdies really thought that you sent people to bring them
on vacation, and they''re very excited. Our men are also protecting them along the way, and they''ve
crossed the border now."

When she was finished, Valerie immediately instructed, "Tell our men to bring them back using special
channels."
"What? Madam, what do you mean by this? Aren''t you going to have them do a paternity test?"
"What paternity test? Don''t I know whether they''re my granddaughter? Although Abigail came from
Hitman Ind, she''s a good person. After so many years, her reputation has always been good. I do
believe her when she said she didn''t graduate from the ind, and I also believe her when she said
someone saved her. I definitely trusted her when she said that her children are of the Buckley Family."
"Then why are you saying otherwise and doing this?"
Lisa couldn''t understand this, and Valerie sighed before saying, "This is all I can do to force her to
leave Greg. Abigail is a capable woman with capital. During these recent years, she was a little
arrogant in dealing with things, which proves that she has her own opinions and thoughts about how
things should be done, but the children are her soft spot. She''ll only get mad and be disappointed in me
when Iy my hands on them. Because of this, she''ll consider whether to continue the rtionship with
Greg, which is my main objective. Furthermore, when Troy told me about this, it meant that he hated
and bore a grudge toward Abigail in his heart, and he wanted to use me to get rid of her. If I don''t do
anything, and he does something due to my inaction, she wouldn''t be able to guard against him based
on his cunning. However, if I cause some issues for her now, Troy will definitely lie in wait just to watch
the fallout. Using this time period, Greg may even be able to find him and finally get rid of the thorn in
his side."
Lisa couldn''t help but be impressed as Valerie borated on her n. "Madam, you even managed to
use Master Greg as your pawn this time."
"Go and get things done. No matter what, the children''s safety is of the utmost importance, and don''t
let them suspect anything, either. Just as long as Abigail can''t find her children an hourter, we''ll send
someone to ask her to look for me. Only at that time will we have what it takes for her to listen to my
terms."
Actually, she felt awful for scheming against them and even using the children this way. Abigail was her
savior, and she had never wanted to repay her this way. But her son was everything to her, so for the
sake of her son as well as Abigail''s safety in the future, she had to make use of everything she had in
her arsenal, which included her granddaughters, for things to go as nned.
