Chapter 246


    Thinking of this, Jonathan sneered and uttered nothing.


    As for Abigail, she knew what Jonathan was thinking, but it didn''t matter much to her anymore. Her


    main intention was as clear as day. She wanted to let everyone know how much of a jerk Jonathan


    was. Still, it never crossed her mind that Lady Luck would side with her so much. Jonathan showed up


    right in front of Abigail even when she hadn''t even thought of what she would do to him if she ever


    crossed paths with him.


    Silently thanking Lady Luck, she thought, It''s a shame if I don''t know how to make good use of such a


    good opportunity, right?


    In the meantime, Greg had fully grasped the meaning behind Abigail''s words and actions now that he


    had witnessed the development of the matter. Therefore, he simply stepped out to help Abigail and


    added fuel to the already heated situation.


    He took out his phone and called Victoria again.


    Victoria picked up the call and asked in a hopeful demeanor, "Greg, could it be that you''ve decided to


    help Jonathan? I knew it! I know you still treat me well."


    Hearing that, he snorted. "You?" Even so, he still put her on speaker.


    At this point, Greg didn''t care about allowing both himself and the entire Buckley Family to be


    gossip for others to discuss over their dinner. There were things that he had suppressed in him for the


    longest time. He kept it in his heart for way too long that he nearly forgot about it. Still and all, he felt a


    little frustrated thinking about it.


    "Victoria, from what I see, the wonderful life that you''re living thanks to the Buckley Family over the


    years has made you truly forget your standing, hmm?"


    As Greg phrased his words in a rude manner, all the people around him instantly pricked up their ears


    for a moment.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan was staring at Greg. All these years, he always felt that Greg and Victoria weren''t


    very close. Despite hearing the outsiders saying that Greg had a close rtionship with Victoria and


    how she had brought Greg up, Jonathan constantly felt that it wasn''t the case and outsiders might be


    wrong.


    Due to his doubtful feelings, Jonathan ever asked Victoria about this matter before. However, she


    never said anything. Not only did she not answer him, she even asked him not to ask about matters


    such as this. Now that he heard Greg''s rude remarks, Jonathan suddenly felt a little uneasy.


    Instinctively, he wanted to remind Victoria not to speak. However, Greg was fully prepared to face any


    possible interruptions. Unknown to everyone, the manager of the Food Hall suddenly appeared behind


    Jonathan and covered his mouth when he was about to speak.


    In truth, the manager was actually having a hard time as he needed to smell the foul scent exuding


    from Jonathan. Due to his distance being close to Jonathan, he felt his stomach was churning, and he


    almost vomited out all the food he had yesterday. However, he could only endure it whenever he


    thought of Greg''s order.

    Meanwhile, Victoria waspletely unaware of the situation at Greg''s end. When she heard him say


    those words out, she was stupefied for a moment. Shortly after, she regained her senses. At that


    moment, years of pent-up inferiority suddenly angered her a little. Hence, she asked angrily, "What did


    you say, Greg?! If Mom heard your words—"


    Ignoring the angry tone in Victoria''s voice, Greg interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.


    "Oh, are you going to use Mom to oppress me again? In that case, my dear good sister, care to exin


    to Mom how you treated me when I was a child?"


    Greg''s eyes reddened involuntarily when he spoke. When the people around him saw his fierce look,


    they couldn''t help but be frightened and take a step back.


    Even so, Abigail wasn''t intimidated by Greg''s frightening aura at all. She had this doubt before, but he


    didn''t mention anything to her. And thus, she didn''t ask. Now that she looked at Greg in this state, it


    was clear to her that he was exasperated and even a little sad. Learning about that, she couldn''t help


    feeling concerned for him.


    Once again, Abigail went to hold Greg''s hand and tried her best to give him strength. The moment she


    held his hand, she heard Victoria''s voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "It''s all in the past.


    Why do you still cling onto it?"


    "Why am I still clinging onto it? Do you think I''ll forget about the fact that you took a four-year-old boy to


    a clubhouse and watched me as I fended for myself?!"


    Like dropping a bombshell, everyone was stunned beyond words as soon as these words escaped


    Greg''s lips. Abigail was so shocked to the point that she felt as if lightning had struck her, and her body


    started shaking. Simultaneously, a stream of thoughts began rushing into her mind.


    A four-year-old?! Victoria even took a young Greg to a clubhouse before?! How dare she?! Greg was


    just four years old then! That''s equivalent to Alissa''s age! Like every four-year-old child, he was


    supposed to enjoy a carefree life, yet Victoria took him to such a shady ce! Is this what the outsiders


    meant by Victoria taking good care of Greg?! It''s no wonder that Greg always had a distant rtionship


    with Victoria. In my opinion, he is being extremely merciful by not taking her life. If it was me, I would''ve


    killed her!


    After hearing that, Victoria was stunned, and her mouth trembled slightly.


    "Greg, I—"


    "Enough with your bullsh*t! You treated me like amodity, and I was left to fend for myself. You


    would go out and enjoy yourself with the money you earned from that by yourself, but you never gave


    me food. Instead, you would lock me up in my room. Tell me—won''t your conscience hurt when you


    told my mom that I fell asleep because I was tired from ying?! Not only that, you even threatened me


    that if I told Mom about all these, you would let those old men kill me. Wasn''t that person you? So, why


    should I respect you, considering that you weren''t a good sister to me?"


    Listening to Greg, Abigail felt her heart hurt a little with each and every word that escaped his lips.


    Inside her mind, she couldn''t help herself but think angrily, Victoria totally deserves to be shredded into


    pieces!


    Although Victoria didn''t know why Greg would spill this secret today, it didn''t change the fact that she


    had been living with fear over the years. She was fearful that Greg would blurt these things out one


    day. Thus, she was rather relieved now that he had said it out. However, the confusion inside her also


    emerged at the same time.


    "If so, why did you decide to pretend to be friendly with me and let everyone think we have a good


    rtionship all these years?" Victoria''s question was also exactly what everyone was thinking about.


    Sneering, Greg growled, "Why, you ask? It''s simple. You''ve saved Mom before! At the very least, you


    still have a little conscience for her regardless of what you did to me. Mom has asthma and she fell ill


    once when she went out without her medicine. Back then, you ran back home in the heavy rain just to


    get her medicine, and you saved her life. I know you did this because you''re afraid that I would take


    revenge on you if my mom died, but for me, I''m still grateful toward you. After all, my mom might have


    long gone if you hadn''t given her the medicine on time. Do you think I would have let you, the Fraser


    Family, and your son to enjoy your lives until now for the things that you''ve done to me if it weren''t for


    the fact that you ever saved Mom?"


    Everyone had a surprise look on their face as soon as these words came out of Greg''s mouth. Wow! It


    turns out that Greg is such a filial person.


    Likewise, Victoria also finally understood. Feeling somewhat relieved, she thought, It looks like I''ve


    taken the right risk by being nice to Old Madam Buckley. Then, she quickly added, "Since you know I


    treat Mom nicely, you should also know that she will feel the saddest if we turn against each other. You


    must help Jonathan this time."


    However, Greg merely sneered after he heard that. Then, he said, "Your good days areing to an


    end."


    With that, he immediately hung up the phone.


    At the same time, Abigail knew that the words about today''s incident would soon spread throughout the


    Inte. And if this incident reached Valerie, she would eventually demand justice for her biological son


    Greg, regardless of how much she liked Victoria, her adoptive daughter.


    Greg was feeling a little suffocated by the smell of the ce, and his mood had gotten real bad.


    Therefore, he stood up and said to the manager beside him, "The police will arrive in a while. Pass all


    the evidence to them. Starting from today, I don''t wish to hear or see anything that''s rted to Victoria


    and the Fraser Family in Harrion."


    With that, Greg moved his feet and left.


    Watching as he left, Abigail hurriedly followed him.


    Due to the chaos and interruption created by Jonathan, the two of thempletely failed to have their


    lunch.


    While following behind him, she stared at the dangerous aura exuded from Greg and couldn''t help but


    feel upset.


    Wanting to make him feel better, she hugged Greg from behind and whispered, "It''s not worth it for you


    to get angry at a woman like Victoria. To be honest, I really didn''t expect her to be such a person. You


    must be very upset when you brought up your past today, right?"


    Hearing that, Greg simply hummed. Initially, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. When he


    brought up his past a while ago, the fear and shame he suffered throughout his childhood nearly made


    him unable to control himself. He was so traumatized that he even cooped himself up even when he


    was seven or eight years old because of this incident. Thinking of his past, he feltpletely


    unbearable. However, the current warmthing from behind him melted his icy heart little by little.


    "Abigail, I''m hungry," he suddenly said with his eyes looking a little teary.


    At this moment, Greg felt that the whole world was nothingpared to Abigail.


    He just wanted to pamper her, be nice to her, and love her.


    Abigail knew that it wasn''t easy for someone as prideful as Greg to cast his ego aside. Simrly, she


    also knew he did so and let everyone discuss his past was actually for her sake. Thinking of what Greg


    had done for her all these while, she felt really grateful. This man has really done a lot for me.


    "Let''s go eat elsewhere. The food served in the Food Hall doesn''t taste as nice as before."


    "Sure."


    With that, Greg and Abigail went to a nearby hotel and ordered tons of food. They were obviously very


    hungry, but each of them didn''t eat much.


    He knew that she was feeling sorry for him, but he simply felt he was feeling a lot more rxed now


    that he had vented out his sordid past.


    Truth was, Greg wanted to spill out the truth every time he saw Victoria being so filial in front of Valerie


    over the years, but now that he had said it out loud, he wanted to see how Valerie would feel.


    Looking at Abigail, he realized that there was a hint of distress in her eyes. Therefore, he couldn''t help


    but say, "Although I want you to care for me all the time, the distress in your eyes will bring shame to


    me."


    "Greg, can you stop being a ruffian?" In an instant, Abigail''s sad mood disappeared thanks to Greg''s


    words. It looks like he is feeling much better.


    Pouring a ss of lukewarm water for Abigail, Greg then asked, "Are you venting your anger for


    Emma''s sake?"


    "You can say so, but that''s not entirely the case," she told Greg about her thoughts.


    "Regardless of what, I''m still the daughter of the Kain Family. I couldn''t care less about my reputation,


    but I don''t want the children to be affected. Besides, Emma''s an idiot. If I want to put my words in an


    impolite manner, she''s simply a pawn used by others, so why should I get angry with an object? She''s


    Philip''s only daughter. I don''t mind helping her, considering she can still be helped."


    He instantly guessed something upon hearing Abigail''s words. "Is Emma at your ce?"


    "Yeah, but don''t worry. I won''t treat her like royalty. She''s not young anymore, yet she doesn''t have the


    ability to take care of herself at all. She''s been learning basic survival skills recently. If she can master


    them, I''m sure she won''t starve to death even if I chase her out."


    Abigail made herself very clear that she wouldn''t pamper Emma. Realizing this, Greg felt at ease.


    "Did you know Jonathan would being to the Food Hall?"


    "No, I didn''t. It seems Lady Luck is smiling on us. I don''t even know where I should start to find and


    collect the evidence, but the evidence was sent to me just like that. I can only conclude that Jonathan


    finally ran out of his luck."


    Nheless, it wasn''t entirely wrong for Abigail to say that.


    Then, Greg asked about matters regarding the Kain Family again. Once he learned about everything,


    he finally understood the situation.


    "I''ll help you look at the matter of the Kain Family. Also, I''ll investigate the reason why Philip was


    arrested. I''m curious about how you could describe the process of Jonathan''s illegal money transfer in


    such detail, though. Could it possibly be that you know any hackers?"


    After hearing Greg''s words, Abigail paused for a moment. However, she then exined lightly, "Yeah, I


    know a hacker. It''s someone from yourpany, Carter. I''ve asked him for a favor."


    Once Greg heard that, all his doubts were blown away. "When did you get in touch with Carter? How


    was I not made aware of this?"


    "Well, it wasn''t me who got in touch with him. As you know, Aria is very good withputers? The two


    met on the Inte, and they asionally chatted about topics regarding hacking. It was Aria who


    helped me and told Carter about it."


    As Abigail spoke about this, there wasn''t a trace of fear shown on her face at all. Therefore, Greg


    couldn''t spot anything unusual about her. Even though the discussion over the topic was over, Abigail


    still broke into cold sweat.


    Clearly, Abigail was hiding something from Greg. Even so, it wasn''t that she wanted to hide the truth


    from Greg. It was just that she wanted to find a suitable time to tell him about her identity as King. I


    don''t know what Greg will think when I tell him.
