Chapter 352 To Probe into It


    Chapter 352 To Probe into It


    Abbot stood opposite Reba and fixed his eyes on her with interest. His nted eyes were filled with


    calction, and he lookedpletely different from his usual silly-looking self.


    Receiving no reply from him, Reba was anxious as she said, "Mr. Carter."


    Abbot raised his chin and sneered bluntly, saying, "Kneel and kowtow hard."


    Reba was wordless.


    Abbot then took two steps forward and looked down at her condescendingly. "Since you said it yourself,


    if I don''t y along, I might appear petty."


    Reba was still silent.


    Abbot leaned down, approached Reba, and scoffed, "You pure college student."


    Reba was taken aback and almost choked on her own saliva.


    When Colin called Abbot, Reba was coughing nonstop against the roaring wind.


    Abbot took out his phone and answer the call. "Hello, Colin," said he.


    Colin joked, "Where are you?"


    Abbot lied without turning a hair and answered, "At home."


    Colin said meaningfully, "Apany your mom at home?"


    Abbot instinctively uttered, "Mm-hmm".


    Colin ridiculed, "Is the wind by the river strong?"


    Abbot lost his tongue.


    After a few seconds, he dissolved intoughter and asked, "So, you wanna help her?"


    Colin smiled and stated, "No, Faye and I would like to invite you to a meal. If you don''t mind, take


    Reba with you."


    Abbot chuckled and uttered, "What if I don''t want to?"


    Colin said, "If you''re being petty like this, we may misunderstand that you are still not over Jaquelin."


    Abbot said, "Are you goading me here?"


    Colin smiled and uttered in a mellow voice, "You seem brainy today."


    With that, Abbot broke into a smile. After being silent for a moment, he looked at Reba, who was


    shivering by the river, and replied, "Make a reservation at Marriott."


    Colin lowered his voice and said, "Don''t overdo it in case you scare her out of her wits."


    More than an hourter, they met in a private room at Marriott.


    Upon seeing Faye, Reba scurried to her and linked arms with Faye. She whispered behind Faye''s


    ear, "That son of bitch tricked me out and yed dirty in the new year. How unlucky!"


    Faye did not answer; she patted Reba''s hand as ifforting her.


    Reba sniffed and continued to murmur, "He tricked me out by saying that he wanted to talk about a


    profitable business with me. Then, he drove me directly to the river."


    Faye turned a deaf ear to it and turned to wink at Colin.


    Colin caught on and strode forward. He took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and handed one to


    Abbot. "Go out for a cigarette?" asked he.


    Abbot pulled a chair and sat down. He leaned against the seat and deliberately put on airs, saying,


    "Nope."


    Colin patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "I have something to talk to you."


    Abbot looked sideways at Colin and doubted whether Colin was telling a lie. Eventually, Abbot stood


    up, took over the cigarette handed by Colin, and walked out.


    As the two guys left, only Faye and Reba were in the room now.


    Reba heaved a sigh of relief, withdrew her arm, and slumped on the chair in front of her. "Faye, it


    was so close. You almost wouldn''t be able to see me today."


    Faye broke into a smile and sat down beside Reba. "How''s your new year?"


    Reba pouted and stated, "In short, more weight and less money."


    Faye smiled and uttered, "Not bad, you could still make a new year summary."


    Hearing that, Reba suddenly asked sadly, "Faye, will Abbot be determined to kill me?"


    Faye smilingly teased, "Probably?"


    In the hallway.


    Colin and Abbot stood opposite each other.


    Colin looked at Abbot with a faint smile and said, "Did you find it when you two were on a business trip


    together?"


    Abbot looked at Colin and uttered with clenched teeth, "I don''t have many good buddies, otherwise you


    would definitely have met your maker now."


    With a cigarette in his mouth, Colinughed and asked with curiosity, "Tell me, how did you find the


    truth?"


    Abbot asked, "Are you trying to probe into it for your wife?"


    Colin took the cigarette off his mouth and flicked it. "You are painting everyone with the same brush. My


    wife is not gossipy."


    Abbot snorted smilingly and said, "Then why did you ask?"


    Colin squinted at Abbot. "Abbot, it''s very unlike you. In the past, if you knew anybody deceived you,

    you would have tortured them to the core.


    "You had already found that Reba lied to you during your business trip, but you still took her to


    make money with you?"


    Abbot put out his cigarette and threw it at his feet. "I think she''s wretched."


    Colin uttered, "Oh?"


    Abbot was silent. Out of the blue, what had happened when Reba was drunk on their business trip


    popped up in his mind. He then rubbed the fingers that he used to put out the cigarette.
