Chapter 208


    "You! Dr. Kain, it seems like you don''t want to talk things over nicely with me!"


    "Old Madam Buckley, I think you''ve got it wrong. Since the beginning, you''re the only one who doesn''t


    want to talk things over nicely with me. I asked myself, and I have given you the respect you deserve


    as Greg''s mother and my children''s grandmother, but respect is mutual. When you used the kids to


    control me, did it ur to you to speak nicely with me? In other words, if someone has taken Greg


    hostage so that you''ll agree to their terms, do you think they will have a good chat with you?"


    Right now, Abigail didn''t hold back her tongue anymore, and she didn''t need to do so. Her children


    were her only family, and she had gone through great pains to give birth to them. All these years, she


    was the only one bearing the ups and downs, and now, Valerie wanted to cut off her ties with her


    children without even a modicum of respect; she even used money to threaten her. Money! Who did


    she think she was?


    Valerie was embarrassed by Abigail''s words. Maybe it was because Abigail had been very respectful to


    her at the beginning, for Greg''s sake. It was tough for her to ept it quickly when Abigail exposed her


    arrogant and shy character.


    "Don''t go too far, Abigail Kain! It will be our family''s misfortune if Greg really marries an arrogant


    woman like you who has a sharp tongue. Since you don''t intend to negotiate with me, we''ll meet each


    other in court then. I don''t believe you can take away the children from our family. Five years ago, you


    gave birth to them without our approval. Do you know how much trouble you''ll cause Greg in his


    marriage and life in the future? Dr. Kain, leave now, and you can be sure I''ll be suing you."


    Valerie''s eviction order had passed, and all traces of a smile disappeared from Abigail''s face.


    Thest thing she wanted was to be enemies with the Buckley Family, but Valerie had gone overboard


    with her ways today.


    "You''re going to awyer, eh? I can also do that, but I''m taking my children away today! I''m the one


    who gave birth to them, and you said it yourself that you didn''t even know about their existence five


    years ago. So, who do you think you are to force your terms on me?"


    Her assertiveness struck Valerie dumb for a second, but her expression twisted into something rather


    unpleasant when she regained herposure.


    "I would like to see how you''re able to take the kids away alone," she said, pping her hands once.


    Immediately, several bodyguards walked in and surrounded Abigail.


    "I know you''re a good fighter, but a pair of hands can''t outmatch four enemies. It will take you some


    effort to take care of these people, Dr. Kain."


    Thest thing Valerie wanted to see was solving the problem with violence, but she was now put in a


    tight spot since Abigail had pushed her limits.


    The children should never follow Abigail and be exposed to danger. She knew the strength of Hitman


    Ind better than anyone else, and she would never allow her granddaughters to take this risk.


    Unexpectedly, Abigail merely sniggered. "Old Madam Buckley, I guess, because of the strength and


    influence of the Buckley Family, you''ve forgotten that you''re still a human. Did you really think that


    you''re god and make all the decisions in Harrion?"


    "What do you mean?"


    Today, Valerie thought that the words that came out of Abigail''s mouth were incredibly piercing to her


    ears, and even a little infuriating. Although Valerie was fond of her, she couldn''t let her take advantage


    of her fondness for her like this.


    Meanwhile, Abigail couldn''t be bothered to waste her breath on her anymore. The fact that she could


    talk this much with her was because of Greg, and since they couldn''t reach an agreement, they should


    skip all the talk and start the fight.


    Abigail Kain had never been afraid of anyone, and she wasn''t about to start fearing someone now.


    Without another word to Valerie, she pped her hands, and a few men in ck with guns in their


    hands appeared behind the Buckley''s bodyguards. The guns had a silencer at the end of the barrel,


    which was all neatly aimed behind the Buckley''s men''s heads.


    "Before I bring out the kids, shoot anyone who tries to make a move," Abigail instructed coldly and


    emotionlessly.


    "Yes!"


    The simultaneous answer instantly sent a chill down the spine, and Valerie was stunned.


    With such an aura, who else can it be besides someone from Hitman Ind? Valerie thought.


    "How dare you lie to me, Abigail Kain! Didn''t you say that you didn''t graduate from Hitman Ind?


    Then, how do you exin all these people? Are you the leader of Hitman Ind now? That exins


    why you''re not afraid of me. Does Greg know about this? How can you bring yourself to lie to my son


    like this when he''s true to you? You''re such a despicable woman! To make it as the leader, you must


    have slept with many men, haven''t you? Everything Troy said is true, but I was blind and thought you


    were pure. I even purposely distracted Greg just so as not to embarrass you. If I knew this, I would


    have let my silly childe and see the way you are now."


    While she was shaking from fury, Abigail walked past her and wanted to go upstairs, saving the effort to


    exin things to her. However, Valerie stopped her.


    "Stop right there! A woman like you shouldn''t lead my granddaughters astray. I must get custody of the


    children. Take your men and leave now!"


    Until now, she still felt that it was very kind of her that she hadn''tid a hand on Abigail yet.


    Yet, Abigail sneered unwittingly and struck her directly, knocking her out with a swift move and letting


    the people of the Buckley Family and Lisa, who had juste downstairs, witness it clearly, so that


    Lisa wouldn''t scream suddenly.


    "Dr. Kain, what did you do to Madam? Master Greg has always respected her since he was young.


    How is he going to deal with what you''re doing?"


    "You guys aren''t worried about his reaction after all you''ve done to me, so what should I worry about?


    Can you please not have such double standards? You can go ahead and tell Greg what I did to her. I


    don''t mind." After she said that, she tossed Valerie to a subordinate behind her and said icily, "My


    orders are the same. If anyone tries to stop me, shoot without mercy!"


    At the moment, her aggression had reached its peak, and her bone-chilling indifference gave everyone


    a strong sense of oppression.


    Lisa stared at the woman before her and didn''t dare to make any rash movements. After all, Valerie


    was still in Abigail''s hands, and Lisa really didn''t dare to take the risk in case Abigail really disregarded


    her rtionship with Greg and wanted to kill her.


    "Don''t move, everyone. Let her go!"


    If Alissa and Arianna were taken away by Abigail, Lisa believed that Valerie and Greg would have


    plenty of ideas to get them back, but if they went head-on now, it might very likely lead to a bloody


    scene.


    Hence, Lisa made the order after deep consideration.


    Abigail cast her a chilling look, and she staggered backward unwittingly.


    Abigail ignored Lisa, went upstairs quickly, and opened the bedroom door only to see that the children


    were deeply asleep. That exined why they had no idea about what was happening downstairs.


    After a quick check on them, she discovered that they were given some medication that causes


    drowsiness, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Despite that, she was very displeased.


    The children were still so young, yet they were given such medication. Even though it seemed like it


    was done to protect them from being affected and hurt by the affairs between the adults, did it really


    have no effect on the children''s health?


    Because of this, Abigail had a lot of opinions about Valerie, and she left the room with one child in each


    arm.


    When she passed by Lisa, she asked curtly, "Who gave them the medication?"


    "M-Me," she reflexively answered, stunned by her aura.


    Abigail''s eyes turned a few degrees colder suddenly. "Addison, break her left hand."


    "Yes."


    Of course, Addison acted ording to order, and before Lisa had registered what was happening, she


    heard a loud crack, and her left hand was broken.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Cold sweat broke out all over her from the shrilling pain, but she was too stubborn to make a noise. It


    hadn''t been one or two years since she started working for Valerie, and she knew how these


    medications would affect the children. At that time, Valerie didn''t agree to let her do this, but she was


    the one who promised that nothing would happen to the children, so she handled this personally.


    This matter, whether it was toward the Buckley Family or Greg, she had to provide an exnation for


    them. Now, Abigail was considered to have given her face by breaking only one of her hands. But, at


    least, she let her keep her right hand to continue serving Valerie.


    At that second, Lisa thought that Abigail was a straightforward person who was true to her feelings, and


    she couldn''t help but doubt if Valerie had made a good decision to break up Abigail and Greg.


    Is it really wise to make an enemy like Abigail by breaking them up? Lisa pondered.


    However, Abigail couldn''t care less what was in Lisa''s mind, leaving Valerie''s ce with her children in


    her arms.


    Addison personally opened the car door for her and watched as she ced the children safely into the


    back seats before asking softly, "I''ll drive for you so you can take care of them at the backseats."


    "It''s fine. Take care of the things here. Give our men the order to retreat. Try not to hurt the Buckley''s


    men at the cost of our own."


    At the end of the day, Abigail was a little soft-hearted. For Greg''s sake, she hadpromised a lot.


    Otherwise, given her personality, it would be impossible not to have a bloodbath today at the Buckley''s


    ce. Also, she had ways to get out of Harrion safely, but because that person was Greg''s mother, she


    tried her best to minimize the conflict and injuries.


    "Got it."


    There was no doubt that Addison would carry out her orders.


    Abigail peered at Valerie''s home and reckoned that she wouldn''t ever return to that ce in this life.


    Even if she and Greg had a future together, there was already a rift between her and Valerie, and it


    would be difficult to get rid of that.


    So, she turned her gaze away and focused on the road as she drove away, but she didn''t know where


    she should bring her children.


    If she went back to the Kain''s, she would run into Sasha and her daughter, who were especially


    annoying with their incessant questions. If she went back to Allie''s Garden, Greg would immediately


    find her; thest person she wanted to see now was him.


    Right then, her phone started ringing. Despite her surprise at seeing the familiar number, she still


    picked up the call quickly.


    "Teal? Why are you calling me at this time? Are the issues in your family settled?"


    Abigail still remembered that Teal''s treatment had yet to end, but because of her troublesome husband


    at home, she had to return home early. Was she calling now because she wasing back to continue


    treatment?


    Once she recalled that she still didn''t have a safe ce now, she was suddenly caught in a dilemma.


    On the other end of the call, Tealughed and said, "It''s not settled yet. Dr. Kain, I may need to invite


    you to my ce as my guest for a period of time. I think it''s better if you settle some things personally.


    Furthermore, aren''t I supposed to start the second phase of my treatment?"


    Abigail suddenly felt that she could see the light at the end of her long, dark tunnel upon hearing Teal''s


    words.
