《Her Wicked Ceo (Abigail and Liam)》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 "The day before yesterday, the president of the LK Group, Liam, was caught hanging out with Eve, a young model, who recently debuted. Photos of the two kissing on a luxury yacht were captured where they spent a sweet night there..." All local media was bombarded with the news and gossips that had gone viral all over the city and on the Inte. A young woman sat silently on the sofa. She was wearing a grey-blue uniform with her hair curled up in a graceful French style. Her eyes were captivating and seductive but were shadowed by a pair of ck, thick sses. Clearly, she was old-fashioned, or she tried to be. However, regardless of her dressing, it was easy to tell that she was definitely a beauty. Her eyes, deep and dreamy, were just like the beautiful sunset on the tranquil sea. One look would make people be obsessed. The woman remained emotionless watching the news. This made the housemaid, Grace, anxious. She stood beside uneasy, greatly concerned about what the youngdy was thinking. Abigail Swift and Liam Jones had been married for a year, but thetter had nevere back home. The only things that came home from time to time were his scandals. "Abi, these might be fake news made by those wicked paparazzi. They were talking nonsense. Please don''t believe them..." Grace tried her best tofort her. Abigail knew very well whether the news was valid. She didn''t say anything in response. With a bitter smile, she took out her phone and dialed the familiar number. Immediately , the phone went through. "Hello..." A cold yet charismatic voice emitted from the other end. "It''s me," Abigail answered emotionlessly. "What do you want this time?" Hearing her voice, the owner of the cold and charismatic voice lost his patience immediately and growled in agitation. "Are youing back tonight? I need to talk to you." Abigail replied unhurriedly. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. "I really and absolutely don''t want to go back to see your ugly face. It makes me sick!" Liam said rudely. Recalling Abigail''s appearance made him lose his appetite. Hearing his harsh words, Abigail clenched her hand, "But we are married!" "Abigail, I warned you. You''d better not say anything about our marriage. We got married out of a business interest rather than love. Don''t you know that? The fact that we''re married is a great shame to me. I wish I could divorce you!" The man on the other end of the line yelled. ''Divorce?'' "Liam, I''ve always been faithful and never done anything wrong after I got married to you. What excuses do you have to divorce me?" Abigail refuted in anger. "Just because you disgust me!" "You¡­! Fine. In that case, let''s divorce then." Abigail responded. Her response surprised the man from the other end of the line. "Finally." "It''s you who asked for a divorce. So, you should be the one who pays the price. Don''t use our divorce to mess with the Swift Group!" Abigail said. All the man wanted was to leave her, so he didn''t think much about it. He promised hurriedly, "Okay, as long as you sign the divorce agreement!" "I will, but I hope you keep your promise!" "No problem!" Without another word, the man hung up the phone. Grace, standing right beside her, heard everything clearly. Their conversation was a huge burden to her. She walked up to Abigail and asked, "Abi, are you sure? A divorce?" Abigail turned around and confirmed, "This is good for both of us!" Her pretty eyes sparkled with determination. "What about Mr. Jones'' parents..." "Liam can exin it to them!" Abigail cut in, and then headed upstairs. On her way, she caught a glimpse of the dinner table and said to Grace, "Grace, please throw all those dishes away," Abigail said apologetically. "But you haven''t had anything yet," Grace pointed out in surprise. "I don''t have the appetite now," Abigail answered and walked upstairs quietly. She took out the divorce paper prepared by Liam long before, and carefully signed her name on it. She stared at her signature and cracked the biggest smile. "Liam Jones, from now on, we are strangers!" Chapter 2 Chapter 2 After signing the divorce paper, Abigail took off the sses and let her hair down. Her long inky hair cascaded down her back matched her small delicate face. She was so beautiful, like a masterpiece. At this moment, her face glowed with happiness. Her eyes were shining with confidence. Finally, she got her freedom back. Finally, she could leave this sick ce. Abigail made no dys and immediately got changed. She threw the tedious clothes on the bed and put on a bright yellow dress and a pair of high heel sandals. She looked like a little nightingale, graceful and gorgeous. She packed some other pretty dresses, zipped the suitcase, and went downstairs. Grace was cleaning the dinner table when she heard Abigailing down. She was stunned by Abigail''s new look. Her appearance now waspletely different from before. ''Are they the same person?'' Grace could not help but wonder. Abigail walked up to Grace and greeted her with a big smile. "Grace!" "A... Abi?" Grace still found it difficult to ept her sudden changes. If Abigail didn''t speak, Grace wouldn¡¯t have been able to recognize her. Abigail smiled. "Since Liam and I have divorced, I''m leaving now. Thank you for taking good care of me all these years!" Abigail bowed to show her respect and gratitude.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "No, no, no, it''s my duty to take care of you, but Abi, are you really leaving?!" Abigail nodded. Her face looked absolutely breathtaking now with wless makeup. "Yes!" "If... if Mr. Jones saw you now, I''m sure he wouldn''t divorce you..." She said as she looked at Abigail. Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "Grace, please keep this a secret for me!" She didn''t want Liam to know the truth. After a long silence, Grace nodded. "Fine, but please take care of yourself!" "Copy that! You too!" Abigail said gently and gave Grace a big hug. In this wretched ce, Grace was the only one who cared for her like her own mother. She was very grateful for her kindness. "Okay, Grace, See you!" "Let me walk you out..." "Not necessary. I got a taxi... It''ste. You should go to bed now." Abigail said. But Grace insisted on sending Abigail to the gate. With the gate closed, Abigail looked at the old- fashioned suit in her hands and threw it into the trash can. ''Finally, I have gotten rid of all these. What a big relief!'' As the car drove away and got lost in sight, Grace couldn''t help but sigh, "If Mr. Jones finds out the truth, he would definitely regret it..." Momentster, Abigail arrived at the airport. She pulled out her luggage from the cab and looked back at the enchanting night view. "Goodbye!" "Goodbye, my miserable life!" Then, without looking back, she went to the security checkpoint. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Two yearster. London. "Congrattions, Miss Swift. You won this award. Do you want to say anything?" The host asked politely. Abigail was in a yellow dress with a crystal trophy in her hand. It glowed with her curly, long hair. She held a pleasant and sweet smile, "Well, I want to thank my mentor and all the people who support me. This award is not only for me but also for all my supporters. Thank you!" The host smiled, "Winning this award is also an honor and a recognition. Do you mind sharing your future ns with us, Miss Swift?" After a long pause, Abigail recollected herself and answered, "Actually, I''ve decided to go back to my hometown and work for the Powerline Group!" Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar. "The Powerline Group is a rising star. It has been listed for only one year, but has already achieved remarkable performance. It''s promising, but leaving all those great opportunities in London for a newly developedpany? That sounds insane." Abigail ignored the doubts and left the stage without saying anything further. ......... Next day, 10:00 AM. Airport of A City Abigail walked out with her suitcase. She was wearing a gigantic pair of sunsses covering half of her pretty face. Despite this, her outstanding temperament still attracted a lot of attention. Abigail took off her sunsses and happily enjoyed the view. ''Two years. I''m finally back!'' She went to the apartment she had rented in advance, got the key, and moved in directly. It took her half a day to clean up the cozy ce. She had be very independent and strong after two years. When she was about to take a nap, her phone rang, "Hey, Abi, have you arrived?" It was Tina. Tina was Abigail''s bestie since childhood. "Seriously, T? Calling now after I''ve already settled? You''re doing it on purpose, right?" Abigail lounged on the sofa, trying to take a break. "I''m sooooooooo sorry. I was too busy..." Tina said coquettishly. Abigail giggled, "Okay, I forgive you." "When are you going to start work?" Tina asked. "Tomorrow." "Okay. Let''s have dinner and get drunk tonight." "Great!" "Then it''s settled. I''ll call you after work. Got to go." " See you." Abigailid down on the sofa to take a rest. She was so weary that she actually fell asleep. But she All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. was soon wakened by a sudden call. "Hello..." She answered it in a daze. "Miss Swift, this is the human resource department of the Powerline Group. I''m calling to check whether you''re still able toe to work tomorrow." "Yes, I''ll be there tomorrow!" Abigail recollected herself and confirmed. "Great. Pleasee directly to the HR department when you get here." "Okay! Thank you for letting me know." After a short conversation, Abigail yawned and checked the time. It was already 6 p.m. Just as she was about to call Tina, the doorbell rang. She walked over to open the door. "Abigail!" As soon as she opened the door, Tina gave her a big hug. Abigail was overjoyed to see Tina, "I thought you were still at work." "Work is nothing whenpared to you. Let''s go. Time to celebrate." Abigail nodded. She quickly changed her shoes and went out with Tina. "By the way, Abi, aren''t you afraid to bump into Liam when youe back?" Tina suddenly asked when they were having dinner. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Bringing this up suddenly, Abigail was stunned, but then she said as if nothing had happened while continuing to eat, "Even if we met, then what? I have divorced him!" Abigail said. Even if they met, they were just strangers. "It does make sense, but are you not worried at all!" Tina asked curiously. When hearing this, Abigail thought about it, then looked at Tina and said seriously, "It will be a lie if I say no. But it''s been three years. Maybe he doesn''t remember me anymore!" Abigail said. Moreover, they were only married, with no feelings or anymunication, so he would never remember her. Besides, Liam was the kind of person who only remembered beautiful women. She was afraid that she was probably just a nightmare for him. Tina ate the crab in her hand and said, "If it was you from three years ago, I''m sure he wouldn''t remember, but if it was you, the way you are now..." Tina looked at Abigail, her eyes full of doubts. "If Liam saw you like this, I bet he wouldn''t have divorced you back then!" Tina said with absolute certainty. Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "But we''re divorced!" Things couldn''t be changed! Tina was a little curious, "Abigail, I really admire you. Three years ago, you were dressed like that for a whole year. Besides, Liam was one of the most famous people in A City. So many women dreamed of having him. But you did not have any feelings for him and even put on that look and made him hate you." Tina said. "That''s because I''m not an idiot. I know the meaning of moth to a me." Abigail said to Tina as she ate. Originally, she and Liam were married because of their families, but Liam was a yboy. As long as he liked a woman, he would not let go of her, so she was smart enough to not be one of his goals, and she would just wait for sess and then retreat. Tina also nodded in agreement. Everyone knew that Liam was a yboy. But then, Tina suddenly remembered, "Hey, Abi, if Liam finds out that you lied to him on purpose three years ago, what will he do?" Tina asked. Abigail paused for a moment, then said slowly, "I think I would die tragically!" Looking at Abigail, Tina couldn''t help but chuckle. "By the way, are you afraid to be found out by Liam because you can¡¯t go back to the Swift Group?" Tina asked. Abigail shook her head. "No, there are many reasons. I don''t want to go back for now." Abigail said. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. Tina nodded without asking too much. The two of them talked a lot while having dinner as if there were endless topics. After dinner, Abigail went back to her ce, took a bath, called her mentor in London, and went to bed. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The next day. Early in the morning, Abigail arrived at the Powerline Group. People at the Powerline Group also knew about Abigail''s qualifications, so she was treated politely here. "Miss Swift, wee to the Powerline Group!" Emily from the personnel department reached out her hand and said with a smile. Abigail smiled and reached out to shake Emily''s hand. "I didn''t expect Miss Swift to be so young and beautiful." Emily praised her. Abigail smiled, "You are ttering me, Emily. I am surprised by your young age as well. Much younger than all the other HR managers I''ve met previously. Thates from hard work and talent, I believe." N?velDrama.Org owns this text. ttering words are basic manners for the first encounter. This was thew of the business world! Emily smiled, "Let''s go. I''ll take you to the Design Department!" Abigail nodded and followed her. As soon as they reached the Design Department, Emily pped her hands. "Please stop for a minute. I''ll introduce a new colleague to you!" Emily said with a smile. All staff stopped what they were doing and shifted their attention to the neer. "This is Abigail, who has just returned from London and will join you from today!" Emily said with a smile. All eyes were fixed on Abigail and amazed by this young beauty. Abigail stood beside Emily humbly and gracefully smiled to greet all. It was really impossible for them to dislike a pretty youngdy with manners. At this moment, Emily looked at Abigail, signaling her toe forward and say hello. Then Abigail cleared her voice, "Hello, everyone. I''m Abigail. I would appreciate your future guidance..." Abigail said with a smile. "Wee..." someone replied at this moment. Abigail looked over and smiled. "Great! Another beauty in our Design Department..." A male colleague also smiled and replied. Emily and Abigail stood there, smiling. "Yeah, our Design Department is full of handsome guys and beautiful girls!" Emily said with a smile. With that, everyone in the Design Department rxed. Then Emily waved to a young girl. "Jane, Miss Swift just came here. She doesn''t know anything. Remember to help her!" Emily ordered. Jane was also a fashionable woman. She was dressed beautifully. She looked at Emily and nodded, "Okay, I got it!" Then Emily looked at Abigail, "Don''t forget to go to the president''s office to meet himter!" Abigail nodded. "All right, enjoy your first day. I''ll go back first!" Emily said. "Sure." Abigail nodded. She officially joined the Powerline Group. Jane was also devoted to helping her. She would help Abigail and introduce things to her patiently when Abigail had problems. Abigail looked at her, "Thank you, Jane!" Jane replied with a smile, "You''re wee. If you meet any problems in the future, don''t hesitate to ask me!" Abigail nodded, "Got it!" "Alright, I''m going back to work." "Sure, and maybe we can have lunch sometime!" "No problem!" Jane walked away cheerfully, while Abigail went back to her spot as well. She carefully looked around. Honestly, she was more than satisfied with the working environment. At noon, Jane walked over and said, "Abigail, let''s have lunch together? I''ll walk you around." Seeing Jane, Abigail immediately closed the file. "Okay, let''s go!" Then they walked towards the dining hall of the Powerline Group. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Jane carefully introduced the Powerline Group to Abigail, including which restaurant was good and which ones were not. Abigail thought Jane was very cute. At least, she didn''t seem like a scheming person. During the meal, Jane looked at Abigail and asked, "I''ve heard that you came back from London and got a lot of awards there. It''s amazing!" Jane praised sincerely. Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail smiled, "If it was you, you could also make it!" Jane was ttered and feltfortable by the remarks. "That I don''t know, but it''s my dream to study abroad!" She replied with eagerness and her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Do you know how many people scramble for getting in the Powerline Group? It''s also an affirmation of your ability that you can work here." Abigail said. Jane was very pleased with Abigail''s words. She smiled and nodded, "That''s true!" "Although the Powerline Group has just earned a fine reputation in thest two years, it is not easy to develop to this stage. Besides, facing a bright future, the Powerline Group will definitely break into the international market!" Abigail nodded, "I believe it. I''ve heard the Powerline Group when I was in London!" That was why she chose to work here. Speaking of this, Jane smiled, "Do you know how young and handsome our president is?" She asked with a smile. Abigail shook her head. She really didn''t really pay attention to this. "He''s definitely more handsome than movie stars. Moreover, he''s only 26 years old, very young but with great finesse. He founded and developed the Powerline Group himself. He''s the dream lover of all All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. employees of ourpany, both men and women." Jane said secretly. Hearing this, Abigail teased Jane, "Then what are you waiting for? Go get him!" "All the other girls are fighting for him. As for me, I''m gonna just sit this one out and watch the drama." Jane continued, "You''ll get my meaning when you meet him." Abigail nodded. However, Jane suddenly added, "By the way, I heard that he had been married but got divorced..." Abigail didn''t know how to respond to Jane because it was the same story as Liam. She thought for a while but soon stopped that crazy idea. ''The world would not be so small.'' She didn''t ask more. The two of them ate quickly and went back to the office. In the afternoon, Abigail received a call asking her to go to the president''s office to register, so she quickly picked up the documents and went upstairs. As soon as she reached the door of the president''s office, she heard something unusualing from inside. "Liam, can I apany you to the party the day after tomorrow?" At the door, a delicate female voice came from inside. Abigail was startled. She didn''t know whether she should enter or not. Clearly, there was someone else inside, and maybe something unusual was going on. "If your hand continues to caress down, I''ll...argh~" Then, a deep male voice came from inside. Standing at the door, Abigail was stunned when she heard this. Now, she was sure what''s going on here. ''Seriously? This is the president''s office!'' "What? You can''t take it anymore? I''m a troublemaker. Come punish me!" The female voice came from inside. It sounded soft and very pleasant. Even if Abigail didn''t see it, she could imagine how erotic it was inside. She didn''t expect the president of the Powerline Group to be like this. ''Working hours in the office? That''s really unprofessionally!'' "Mmm...Ah..." The man''s deep voice came from inside. Only then did Abigail recover from the shock. If she listened any longer, she would blush. She knew she must leave now to avoid bringing any inconvenience to them. "Oli, I''m working!" The man said. Although his voice was a little deadened, it still sounded like he had his own principles. "Be good. I''ll call youter." As soon as the voice died away, the door was suddenly opened. However, Abigail was standing at the door, ready to turn around and leave. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 "Who are you? Why are you here?" A hostile voice roared from inside. Abigail knew that if she didn''t exin it clearly, there would be a misunderstanding. Thinking of this, Abigail looked up and said, "I''m new..." Before she could finish speaking, Abigail was Her mind went nk for a few seconds! How could it be him? ''Liam Jones!'' ''Is he the president of the Powerline Group?'' ''How could that be?'' At that moment, all sorts of thoughts shed through Abigail''s mind. The first thought was RUN, RUN, AND FAST, but her legs seemed to be fixed on the ground and she couldn''t move. Liam looked more mature than he was three years ago. With an even more strong and more stereoscopic profile, he was still so handsome, and no one would ignore it. Her eyes, looking at him, were filled with surprise and astonishment. Liam also looked at the woman in front of him. Her fair V-shaped face was very delicate and pretty. She had pale pink lips, delicate and small bridge of the nose. And her eyes, in particr, were as clear and transparent as branch water. He had to admit that she was quite beautiful, not in a ssical way but refreshingly attractive. But... The way she looked at him was a little weird. ''Did she know me?'' However, in his impression, he didn''t know such a person. If there was, he would certainly remember. "You haven''t answered me yet." Liam raised his voice. This sentence made Abigaile to reason. She replied, "Well, I am..." "Are you eavesdropping here?" At this moment, Olive came out from inside and asked, staring at Abigail. Olive disliked Abigail at the first sight. In her opinion, it seemed, it was Abigail who had shown up at the wrong time. Abigail frowned because of her hostility. "I''m the new designer, Abigail Swift. I''m here to report." Abigail looked up at them and said word by word. Her attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, making them impossible to say anything. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "Abigail... Swift?" Liam saidnguidly. His long and narrow eyes focused on Abigail. When Liam repeated her name, Abigail''s heart trembled nervously. Her palms were sweating for fear that he would remember something. Thest thing she could expect was Liam to be the president of the Powerline Group! If she had known, she would never havee here to work. "Come in with me!" Liam said. "Liam..." At this moment, Olive looked at Liam discontentedly. "Oli, you go back first. I still have work to do. After that, I will contact you." Liam said firmly. Olive knew that Liam was a workaholic. He was very serious about his work. She knew how to behave at the appropriate time. That was why she was the only one who was able to stay with him for so long. But ... She nced at Abigail and then said to Liam, "I''ll wait for your call tonight." "Okay." Finishing her words, Olive gave Abigail a warning look, then turned around and walked out. As soon as she left, there were only the two of them in the big office. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 After Olive left, Abigail stood there, trying to look calm. Liam sat on the swivel chair in a ck shirt with half of his sleeves slightly rolled up. Two buttons on his neckline were untied, revealing his fair skin. All of those added a hint of mystery to his handsome look. Abigail didn''t expect that after two years, they would meet again in this way. Liam was reading the personnel file in front of him with his long and slender fingers flipped through it. He didn''t look at Abigail but just stared at the photo and name on the file. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Abigail? Back from London!" Liam''s voice rang out slowly. He raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on her. "Yes," Abigail replied with a confident smile, even though her heart was pounding. Her brain was bombarded with fear and regret. She really regretted not finding out the background of the Powerline Group beforeing here. Her confidence impressed Liam. He narrowed his eyes andmented, "Nice resume!" Hearing that, Abigail frowned. ''What did he mean by nice resume?'' Abigail looked at Liam, slightly sulking. "Work speak louder than words!" Hearing her reply, Liam raised his charming eyebrows and showed a trace of interest in his eyes. ''Interesting.'' "I bet Miss Swift is very capable!" "If not, I don''t think the Powerline Group would have ept me," Abigail said. She hadn''t seen Liam for two years and she didn''t expect him to be so meaningful when talking. He was really able to hide his thoughts and emotions now. Liam looked at her. It was the first time for him to meet a woman like Abigail. No ttering words to impress him. No panic when being questioned. "Ability is necessary, but the moral quality is more important!" Liam said as he looked at Abigail. Abigail frowned. Liam was clearly targeting her. "Mr. Jones, what do you mean? Do you think I was eavesdropping on you at the door?" Abigail asked, staring at Liam. Liam did not answer immediately, but narrowed his eyes and leaned backzily. His answer was obvious. Abigail looked at him and smiled. "Mr. Jones, let me make it clear. I didn''t mean to eavesdrop. I came up after getting the call and all things that happened next were simply coincidence!" "You should have knocked!" Liam said as if he was sure that Abigail had done it on purpose. "I have my own reason not doing that. I believe I should not interrupt you when you''re busy with your girl. But just as I was about to leave, the door opened. Mr. Jones, should I be med for this?" Abigail looked at him. In two years, Liam did not change his licentious character, but learned to embarrass others! As Liam listened, he felt like he was being scolded by Abigail. "Are you trying to piss me off?" Liam asked, feeling annoyed. "I dare not. I''m just suggesting that you''d better restrain yourself." "Are you lecturing me?" Liam frowned and said unhappily. "No, I''m just telling the truth!" Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Liam raised a yful and charming smile. The woman in front of him looked arrogant, however, that only aroused in him even more interest. Looking at the meaningful smile on Liam¡¯s face, Abigail felt somewhat nervous, and at the same time, she felt a chill behind her. ¡®Was I acting a little too excited?¡¯ But looking at Liam, she couldn¡¯t help herself. Abigail calmed down and looked at Liam. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go out to work first!¡± She left without waiting for Liam to speak. ¡°Wait!¡± At this moment, Liam¡¯s maic voice sounded behind her. Hearing his word, Abigail stopped. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. Abigail was a little annoyed. ¡®Why did I stop? I should just leave.¡¯ But for some reason, she couldn¡¯t move a single inch. At this moment, Liam, who was slim and tall, stood up from his chair and slowly walked towards her. Abigail stood there. Her face was calm, but her heart was already beating quickly. She had thought a thousand times about their possible reunion, but she had never expected this to happen. Besides, his behavior seemed to show that he did not recognize her. Just as Abigail was thinking about it, Liam was already standing still in front of her. His 1.8-meter body overshadowed hers, and Abigail suddenly felt a little suffocated. Liam looked at her and narrowed his long eyes, leaning over slowly. Abigail was so shocked that she took a few steps back. Finally, she was cornered to the wall. Liam took the opportunity to lean over and circled her, leaving no room for her to escape. His action and posture were both very clearly seductive. "What... What are you doing?" Abigail looked at him and asked. She didn''t expect that he was still like this after two years apart. As sly and fickle as in the past! Seeing the woman stuttering in front of him, Liam smiled with satisfaction. "What do you think I want to do to you?" Abigail didn''t say anything. She didn''t want to be trapped in his words. Abigail tactfully remained silent and looked at him. "You and I are being inappropriately close. If others see us, they will misunderstand!" She was really a smart woman. She knew what to do to ease her awkwardness. Liam ignored her words and looked down at her fair and pretty face, feeling a little familiar. "Abigail..." Liam frowned and called out her name. His eyes were fixed on her face, and he looked confused as if he was thinking of something. Abigail looked at him, at his expression, and she was so nervous that it was hard for her to breathe, for fear that he would recognize her. What he said next caught Abigail even more off guard. "Why do I think you look quite familiar. Have we met before?" Abigail was dumbfounded and didn''t know what to say. Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Looking at Liam who had seemed to recall the past, Abigail felt that her heart was about to burst out! "Mr. Jones, you have gotta to be kidding me. I just came back from London. How can I know you?" Abigail looked at Liam and smiled. Without giving him a chance to speak, Abigail said, "Mr. Jones, if you don''t have other things, I''ll go out first. I still have work to do." As she spoke, Abigail turned around and walked out directly. By the time Abigail got to the door, herposure suddenly disappeared, and she ran away. Liam, on the other hand, was still leaning against the wall, looking at Abigail''s back, and a teasing smile appeared on his face. ''What an interesting woman!'' Abigail ran all the way from the president''s office to a ce where nobody was before she dared to stop. Standing there, she took a breath and put her hand on her chest. Her heart was still beating rapidly. When she thought of what Liam had just said, she could not calm down. ''Did he really forget?'' ''Or did he act that way on purpose?'' Abigail didn''t know. Her mind was in a mess. She didn''t expect to meet him the next day when she went back home. Unfortunately, she actually joined hispany. At this moment, Tina''s words rang in her mind, "If Liam knew you were lying to him,what he would do?" At that time, she was not alert, but now, she was really a little scared. How could she be so unlucky! But thinking about Liam''s expression, she thought that he might not have recognized her. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been so calm and teased her. ording to his temper, he would definitely make trouble for her. Thinking about it, she felt that she couldn''t stay here anymore, whether Liam really didn''t recognize her or pretended to be. Once Liam really found out, she really couldn''t take the consequences. And she was sure that Liam would fire her because of the conflicts. Well, instead of getting fired, she''d better resign first. Thinking of this, Abigail decided to go back and prepare a resignation letter. This might be the most tragic thing in the world, resigning on her first day of work. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. But for the sake of avoiding unnecessary trouble in the future, she had to leave. Thinking of this, Abigail took a deep breath and turned back to the Design Department. Just then, her cell phone rang. When she saw that it was Tina''s number, she answered without hesitation. "Hello there." "Honey, how''s the working environment?" Tina asked over the phone. "Guess." "It must be great!" Abigail took a deep breath and said, "T, do you know who my boss is?" "Try me." "Liam f*cking Jones!" Abigail said through gritted teeth. She lowered her voice when she said the name, afraid that someone would hear it. She really didn''t want anyone to know about her and Liam¡¯s past. Their past must be kept a secret. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 "What the fu..." Tina eximed, "Really?" "Yes, I met him just now," Abigail said. Hearing this, Tina was even more surprised. "Did he recognize you?" "Not yet, but I think he will recognize me sooner orter." "Then what should you do? With Liam''s temper, he will definitely give you a hard time." Tina said worriedly over the phone. "Yes, so I''ve decided to resign." "I support you," Tina said over the phone. N?velDrama.Org owns this. "All right, I''m going to write my resignation letter. See you after work." "Okay, I''ve made a reservation and I''ll send you the addresster." "Cool." With that, Abigail hung up the phone. She went back to the Design Department, sitting in her own work position. She didn''t expect that her first task was to write a resignation letter. Although she was a little bit reluctant to quit the job, given its nice working environment, Abigail still decided to leave in order to live a quiet life in the future. Thus, she spent the afternoon writing the resignation letter in her seat. While doing that, she was listening to gossip. It was about Liam. From his career to affairs, there was a lot of gossips. Unexpectedly, after just two years, Liam had different tastes, from model to actress and socialites. Moreover, he had changed his way of doing things by keeping a low profile. Now they had no idea who Liam''s girlfriend was, but they knew that recently he had been very close to Olive Miller, the daughter of the Miller Group''s boss. Olive was the very woman she saw in the office just now. So, rumor had it that Olive was Liam''s current girlfriend. Although they attended various asions together and were questioned by the media frequently, Liam never admitted it. An idea hit Abigail. She quickly googled Liam to check on it. Lots of information came out but most of them were rted to the Powerline Group, his business sess rather than his personal affairs. It took him one year to start thepany and one year to operate it. In barely two years, the Powerline Group grew from an unknown small business into an international big one under Liam''s management. She had to admit that Liam was a genius in business. And now the Powerline Group had surpassed the Jones Group, his identity as Mr. Jones was more recognized than that of the young master of the Jones Group. He had done a great job in the past two years. He was no longer frivolous. Instead, he was more mature and steadier, with the mannerisms of a charming and mysterious man. It was obvious that Liam had been living a good life based on these achievements. The divorce seemed to have made his life a little smoother. Thinking of this, Abigail was even more determined to resign. It would be good for both of them! Otherwise, things would really get out of control when the truth was revealed. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 After typing the resignation letter, it was almost time to get off work. She had no choice but to hand it to the HR manager tomorrow. Thinking of this, she packed up and prepared to leave. She made an appointment with Tina to go shopping and buy some daily necessities. Following the address sent by Tina, Abigail rushed over right away. As soon as they met, Tina asked Abigail about the situation, so Abigail told her the whole story without neglecting any details. After she heard it, Tina couldn''t help but say, "Ohe on! It''s so cliche!" "I know, but that''s the truth," Abigail said as she ate to calm herself down. Even she felt a little surprised when she remembered what happened in the afternoon. "He really didn''t recognize you?" N?velDrama.Org owns this text. Speaking of this, Abigail thought for a moment and said, "I don''t think so. If he does, he wouldn¡¯t have that kind of reaction!" ording to Liam''s character, if he really found out, he would tear her apart. Definitely! Tina immediately perked up and put a spoon in front of Abigail as a microphone. "Dear Miss Swift, can I give you a simple interview?" Looking at Tina, Abigail smiled cooperatively and said, "Sure." "So, what were you thinking when your ex-husband didn''t recognize you?" Abigail thought about it and said seriously, "I''m d he didn''t recognize me!" Tina, "Aren''t you a little disappointed?" Abigail shook her head seriously. "Not at all, my dear." "That''s awesome." Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "Come on. Stop it." Tina smiled, retracted her joking face, looked at her, and said, "After all, you were once a couple, and you''ve not been recognized, there will definitely be a trace of unease in your heart. It''s okay if you feel unbnced. I won''tugh at you, girl." "I was thinking of leaving at that time, and I didn''t have so many feelings and insights!" Abigail said. Tina smiled. "What are you going to do? Resign?" "Yes, I will hand in the letter tomorrow." "Looking for a new job?" Abigail nodded with certainty. "Well, as for my resume, it''s not a problem to find a job here." Of course, Tina believed that. "Well, no matter what decision you make, I will support you." Hearing Tina''s words, Abigail smiled and raised her ss. "Cheers!" "Cheers!" "Abi, I''m going to the bathroom." "Okay." So, Tina got up and walked in the direction of the bathroom. At the same time, the waiter walked by, carrying something that somehow spilled on a woman. "Ah--" The woman shouted. Hearing the sound, Tina and Abigail looked over there almost at the same time. The woman was sprinkled with coffee. The style and material of her dress looked like high-end clothes, expensive and beautiful. Tina stood there, not knowing what was going on. At this moment, the woman in front of her raised her head, looked at Tina, and said unreasonably, "What are you doing? Are you blind?" At the moment she looked up, Abigail saw the person in front of her clearly. It was her. Olive Miller. Her boss or her ex-husband''s lover! When Tina heard this, she frowned unhappily. Knowing that it was her fault, she quickly apologized. "I''m sorry. It''s my fault." Chapter 13 Chapter 13 "That''s it? Do you know you ruined my day? Do you know how expensive my dress is?" Olive said angrily as she looked at her dirty dress. ''What a spoiled rich girl! Drama queen.'' Tina was not a pushover. Respect should be mutual. Why should she respect someone who offended her? Tina smiled. "Miss, I''ve apologized. What else do you want?" "Apologize? Does your apology help? Do you think it is enough?" Olive said angrily. Tina was really pissed off when she heard this. "Well, since it''s helpless, then forget it," Tina said. Tina''s words angered Olive even more. As soon as she was about to explode, she saw Abigail aside. She hadn''t forgotten what happened at thepany today. She didn''t expect to meet her here. It seemed that Abigail was with the woman in front of her! Olive became furious when she thought of this. "Is that you?" When Abigail saw Olive''s gaze, she could only stand up and look at her with a smile. "Miss Miller, my friend didn''t mean to..." "Too much for a ''didn''t mean to''! I think you did it on purpose!" Abigail''s words were interrupted by Olive before she could finish speaking. While Abigail heard Olive''s words and her tone, she also frowned discontentedly. Interrupting others'' words was really rude. Abigail was about to say something when a figure came in from the door. He walked straight to Olive. That person was none other than Liam. Abigail was even more upset when she saw him. Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. When Tina saw him, she was surprised. She turned around and looked at Abigail. Abigail just stood there, looking extremely calm. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Tina was impressed. ''Girl, you are too damn calm.'' Liam did not notice Tina, but he saw Abigail looking at him at once as if she did not want to see him. Liam felt a little mutated when he saw through her feeling. ''Hmph, I won''t let you get your own way, Abigail Swift.'' "What happened?" Liam turned around and asked. It was obvious that he was asking Olive. Olive heard Liam''s words, she pouted unhappily. "Liam, they''ve ruined my dress. You sent it to me. I rarely wore it!" As soon as she saw Liam, Olive seemed to act differently and said coquettishly. Tina could not help but get goosebumps from that disgusting voice. "Really?" Liam looked at them when he heard this. He gazed at Abigail. When Abigail saw Liam''s eyes, she just stood there and was not in a hurry to speak, but Tina said, "Miss Miller, I''ve already apologized. What else do you want?" Olive didn''t say anything, but she was clearly dissatisfied. At this moment, Abigail spoke up, "Miss Miller, how much is your dress? We''ll pay you back!" Olive sneered when she heard this. "Liam gave it to me. It is priceless!" She was clearly looking for trouble by saying that. Tina looked at her. "What do you want?" At this moment, Olive nced at Tina, and her gaze finally fell on Abigail... Chapter 14 Chapter 14 "Miss Swift, didn''t you and your friend do this on purpose?" Hearing this, Tina was dissatisfied and was about to speak, but at this moment, Abigail spoke in advance. Abigail was not angry, but smiled, "Miss Miller, why should we do this on purpose?" "Exactly!" Tina echoed. Hearing this, Olive snorted. "Who knows?" After that, she gave Abigail a provocative look. Looking at Olive''s arrogant expression, Tina couldn''t stand her anymore. She wasn''t as patient as Abigail. "Miss Miller, are you delusional?" No one had ever said that to Olive. Hearing this, Olive frowned and looked at her unhappily. "What did you say?" "Aren¡¯t you? I suggest you should see the doctor as soon as possible. It''s a disease and it needs to be treated." "You," Olive was so angry that she turned to look at Liam who was beside her, "Liam, look at them. They are bullying me..." Looking at Olive''s angry face, Liam seemed to be calm. He nced at Tina and Abigail and smiled. "Oli, why are you angry with them? You don''t need to lower your status because of them..." Hearing this, Olive was enlightened. She immediately lifted her chin proudly. "Yes, you''re right. They don''t deserve my anger." Tina was furious. The fire was burning in her eyes. But Abigail kept a decent smile on her face and remained calm. At this moment, Olive looked at Liam. "What about my dress? I can''t have dinner like this." "I''ll buy another one for youter." "Well, thank you, Liam," Olive said, not forgetting to step forward and kiss Liam on the face. She even looked at Abigail with a strong sense of provocation. Standing there, Abigail thought that Olive was so strange. They had only met once, and Olive''s hostility towards her was so strong. ''Oh, women!'' Looking at the ostentatious Olive, Tina was very angry. So, She took out twenty bucks from her bag and put it in front of them. "Miss Miller, no matter what, it''s our fault that we make your clothes dirty. The twenty bucks will be your dry cleaning fee." Looking at the money, Olive pursed her lips, showing her disgust. "Twenty dors? Do you think it is enough?" "No, but the key is that you only deserve this price..." After saying that, Tina turned to look at Abigail. "Abi, let''s go!" Abigail didn''t say anything, just following Tina out. When Olive realized what had happened, they were already far away. "It is true that birds of a feather flock together. They''re really impolite." Olive said angrily. ''Damn it, how could they say that to me?'' Looking at their backs, she frowned. ''Abigail, you''d better not forget what happened today. I''m not done with you!'' All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "Liam, look..." Olive shook Liam''s arm angrily. "Why are you angry with them? Don''t forget, you''re a noble and elegantdy. Why do you have to care about them?" Liam opened his mouth, but then looked at the figure outside the door. His eyes were full of wonder... Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Well, what Liam said was true, but Olive couldn''t swallow her anger without fighting back. As long as she thought about it, she would be just fuming with indignation. At this moment, Liam looked back at her. Seeing she was still in a rage, he said, "Forget it. I''ll buy you another one." Liamforted her carelessly. Since Liam finallyforted her, she could say nothing but nod in dismay. "Okay." Outside the door. As soon as Tina and Abigail went out, Tina said with a broad smile, "I feel so good looking at that woman suck it up." "Damn her. What a drama queen!" Hearing Tina''s words, Abigail smiled slightly. "You''re amazing!" "Oh, I just feel bad to waste my twenty bucks. I wanted to give her ten, but I didn''t have one on me." Abigail joked, "Well, you are so generous. If I were you, I would only give her one dor." Hearing Abigail''s words, Tina smiled and said, "It''s not a big deal. But I believe if she finds out that you are Liam''s ex-wife, she will go crazy." Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "It''s better to keep it a secret. Otherwise, she will definitely not let me off." "Hahaha, I just feel so good in seeing her pissed off. Who does she think she is? And that Liam, I never expected him to be such a vile guy." Hearing Tina''s words, Abigail pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Indeed!" Both of them burst intoughter and then got into Tina''s car. At this moment, Abigail suddenly thought of something. She reminded Tina, "By the way, Tina, remember not to talk about me and Liam with anybody!" "I know. Don''t worry. I won''t talk about it with anyone." Tina said with a smile. "I just don''t want any trouble!" "Don''t worry. Your secret is safe here." Tina made a gesture of zipping her lip. Looking at Tina, Abigail smiled. "I trust you!" The next day. Abigail went straight to the Powerline Group. The series of events made her even more determined to not stay in thepany. Walking in, Abigail handed her resignation letter to the personnel department. Emily, the HR manager, was a little confused. "You just got hired yesterday and you are going to resign today? Miss Swift, are there any difficulties in your work?" Looking at Emily, Abigail smiled. "I''m really sorry. It''s due to my personal reasons. It has nothing to do N?velDrama.Org owns this. with thepany!" "Well, what a pity!" The HR manager said. "I''m sorry!" Abigail said sincerely. Emily was a nice person, and Abigail respected her very much. Emily thought for a moment and said, "I need to hand your resignation letter to Mr. Jones first!" "OK!" Abigail nodded. Then Emily went to the president''s office and came back shortly after. "Miss Swift!" Emily said. "Mr. Jones wants to meet you." Hearing this, Abigail frowned. "Do I have to?" "Yes. Mr. Jones has your resignation letter now. He said he wants you to talk with him in person." Emily said. Abigail had no choice but to nod in agreement. "Okay, I got it. Thank you, Emily!" "I just hope you can stay if possible." Abigail smiled and did not say a word. She took a deep breath and walked towards the president''s office. She didn''t know what would happen to her... Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Sitting at his desk, Liam gave an official reply to the contracts. His ck shirt made him look more mature and attractive. When Abigail knocked on the door and went in, he was signing a contract. After finishing, he closed the document and then looked up at her. "Mr. Jones." Looking at Liam, Abigail announced herself. "Are you nning to resign?" Liam took a nce at her and asked. "Yes!" Abigail said calmly. "Why? Give me a reason." Liam said. Hearing this, Abigail frowned. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ''A reason?'' On the first day, she came across his "good thing" and made him unhappy. On the same day, they had a bad time in the restaurant. Weren''t these all reasons? But why did Liam act like nothing was wrong? Did he really not care about those things? She heard that when Liam was in the LK Group, someone was fired just because he identally said something Liam didn''t like to hear. Now... Abigail was a little confused about him. She couldn''t see through his tricks. But of course, Abigail wouldn''t say anything about it. "Personal affairs." "Personal affairs?" After hearing this, Liam raised his eyebrows and looked at Abigail with sharp eyes, "Miss Swift, what do you think of the Powerline Group? You want to resign under such an excuse?" Hearing Liam''s voice, Abigail frowned. But she still looked calm, "I''m sorry!" "Sorry? An apology is enough? Then who will afford thepany''s losses?" Liam asked. ''Losses?'' Abigail met Liam''s teasing eyes. "Mr. Jones, I don''t understand what you mean." When Liam heard this, he sneered, "Then could you please tell me what you mean? Miss Swift, the Powerline Group has always been very strict in hiring people. You resigned less than a day after you entered thepany. What? Do you think that the Powerline Group is a shopping mall or something?! Come and go as you please?" Did he simply want to ruffle her feathers here? Why did this reason sound so far-fetched? As long as the Powerline Group posted recruitment, there were many people who would fight over the position. Abigail stood there with a calm expression on her face. "Mr. Jones, you are joking. A powerful group like the Powerline Group can recruit anyone as long as it wants. As for me, I''m sorry, there are some personal affairs that need to be dealt with. So, I have to quit." "I knew that Miss Swift just came back from abroad. I don''t think that you have some ¡®personal affairs¡¯ to deal with." Liam emphasized the words personal affairs. "I don''t think a boss would care so much about a subordinate''s business." "Miss Swift, is this an excuse? That so-called personal affair." Liam asked. Should he be described as sharp or unreasonable? "Mr. Jones, is this rted to my resignation?" Abigail looked at Liam and asked. Hearing this, Liam sat up straight. "Of course, it is." As he spoke, he picked up a document from the desk and opened it. "Miss Swift, before you entered thepany, you signed a contract with us for two years. If you resign during the two years because of your personal reasons, you will have to pay for the breach of contract!" Hearing this, Abigail suddenly realized. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 She was so intent on quitting that she forgot about the contract. She stood there and looked at Liam, frowning. "What? Miss Swift, have you made your decision?" Liam asked back with a smile. Abigail stood there, thinking about the two. And she still felt that it was better to resign now. Abigail nodded. "I will pay for it!" This sentence was beyond Liam''s expectations. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Abigail in disbelief. "Double the penalty. It seems that Miss Swift is really rich." "Enough for thepensation." Abigail smiled and said, even though she really didn''t want to spend her money in this way. All these years of savings would probably drain away once. "OK, in that case, I won''t say anything more. Two million dors. When Miss Swift pays the ''What?'' ''Two million!'' Abigail looked at Liam in disbelief, "Two million?" "Yes, what? Didn''t you see it clearly when you signed the contract? I¡¯m not even pursuing any losses of the Powerline Group from you." Liam said. Upon hearing this, Abigail was a little incredulous. She walked over, picked up the contract on the desk, and looked at it, word by word. That was exactly what the contract said. In fact, Abigail only had a million from her years in London. How could she get another one million? Abigail stood there, not knowing what to say. "What? Didn''t you see it clearly when you signed the contract?" Liam looked at her and asked. Abigail stood there,pletely silent. Indeed, when she signed the contract, she was so eager to enter the Powerline Group that she did not consider this at all. However, she did not expect that the president of the Powerline Group was Liam, which disrupted all her ns and arrangements. Standing there, Abigail hesitated. Looking at Abigail, Liam raised a determined smile. After a long time, Abigail came back to her senses. She looked at Liam and said, "I need time to prepare." Hearing this, Liam said, "Miss Swift, I don''t have that much time to wait for you." "I will do it as soon as possible." "OK, I''ll just give you two days. If you haven¡¯t paid for the breach of contract in two days, then don''t me me." Liam said. ''Two days?'' Hearing this, Abigail stared at Liam. He obviously did this on purpose. "Mr. Jones, two million in two days. How can I do that?" "That''s your business," Liam said. Abigail, "..." Looking at Abigail''s angry face, Liam suddenly smiled. "Miss Swift, if you continue working, then none of these things would matter." "Mr. Jones, the Powerline Group is such a big group, so I''m not important. I just wonder that why you couldn''t let me go. Or, maybe you have ulterior motives!" Abigail looked at Liam as she used him. Hearing this, Liam froze and raised his eyebrows. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ''Is this woman challenging me?'' Chapter 18 Chapter 18 ''She said I have ulterior motives?'' ''Huh.'' Liam sneered and looked at Abigail. "Ulterior motives? Miss Swift, what do you mean? What do you think I want from you?" This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "I have no idea," Abigail said. A proud man like Liam couldn''t stand this kind of provocation. "Miss Swift, I value your ability and attitude. As for the ulterior motives you just mentioned ... I''m afraid you''re thinking too much." "That would be great." Abigail''s lips curled into a smile. "Mr. Jones, don''t worry. In two days, I will pay the penalty to thepany''s ount!" "Well, if there''s nothing else, I''ll go first." After that, Abigail did not say anything more to Liam. She turned around, straightened her back, and left. Looking at Abigail''s back, Liam narrowed his eyes. He did have other purposes, so what? He did not believe that she would notpromise! Walking out of Liam''s office, Abigail suddenly let out a breath. The conversation with Liam just now was like a battle, and now she was so exhausted and lost all her strength. It was really tough to deal with Liam. Two million dors... The thought of this number gave her a headache. How could she borrow one million dors in two days? Liam was deliberately making things difficult for her. Although she thought so, she still resolutely decided to leave the Powerline Group. If she really had to get along with him, it was inevitable that she would go crazy. With that in mind, she left the Powerline Group. The next day. In the morning, Abigail was still asleep when she was woken up by the phone. Abigail reached out from the quilt, caught her cell phone, and answered the call. "Hello..." However, after hearing what was said on the line, Abigail sat up. "What? The police station? Okay, I''ll be right there!" Abigail quickly got up from the bed, changed her clothes, and went out. It was Tina''s call. It took them more than an hour to get out of the police station. "Damn, so unlucky. It''s just an ordinary rear-end crash. He actually used me of intentionally hurting him?" As soon as she came out of the police station, Tina shouted with dissatisfaction. "How did this happen?" Abigail asked. "Who knows! I''m so angry. Obviously, he took revenge on me on purpose!" Tina shouted angrily. After saying this, she turned to look at Abigail. "Abi, I am very supportive of your decision. The further we stay away from people like Liam, the better!" How did this have anything to do with Liam again? "What does this have to do with him?" Abigail asked. "He''s the owner of the car," Tina said solemnly. Abigail, "It''s Liam?" "Yeah, I think he''s taking revenge on me on purpose," Tina said angrily. Thinking of this, Abigail frowned. "Let''s talk about it when we go back. By the way, don''t tell my family about this. I don''t want them to worry about me." Tina said. "Got it," Abigail answered, but she was a little absent-minded and in her thoughts. Sure enough, Liam stuck with Tina''s rear-end crashwsuit and wouldn''t let it go. It seemed that he had sworn to keep suing Tina until the end. Finally, Abigail couldn''t hold back and dialed Liam''s office number. Chapter 19 Chapter 19 "Hello, Mr. Jones, it''s me," Abigail said. Liam was stunned when he heard this, "Who is it?" Abigail was sure that Liam must have recognized her voice. It was obvious that he asked this on purpose now. "Abigail Swift, Mr. President," Abigail said word by word, gritting her teeth. Hearing this, Liam paused and pretended to ask casually, "Oh, have you got enough money?" Abigail took a deep breath and thought about it, "That''s not why I called you." "Oh? Then what for?" Liam asked. Hearing this, Abigail took a deep breath, "I''m calling you about the car ident." As soon as she finished her words, Liam stopped his work. Instead of focusing on two things at the same time, he focused on dealing with the person on the phone. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "Oh? What does that have to do with you?" "Mr. Jones, you should know that Tina is my friend," Abigail said anxiously. "So what?" Liam asked. "Could you please drop the charges against her? It''s just an ordinary ident. Why do you sue her for intentional injury?" Abigail asked over the phone. "Miss Swift, do you mean I''ve wronged her?" "I bet you know it very well whether you have wronged her," Abigail said. Liam felt quite funny, "Miss Swift, please pay attention to your words. How do you know that she didn''t mean to hurt me? You know that we have a misunderstanding when we are in the restaurant. What if she deliberately crashes into my car? Why should I let a potential perpetrator go?" ''Sure enough, Liam is taking revenge.'' ''He is such a narrow-minded man.'' ''He really didn''t change at all all these years.'' However, Abigail did not know what Liam''s purpose was... "She''s my friend, so I believe her," Abigail said. "You said yourself, she is your friend. She has nothing to do with me." "Liam, you did this on purpose." Abigail couldn''t hold back. "So what?" Liam asked. Even if he did it on purpose, what could she do? His words almost angered Abigail. "Not only will I sue her, but I will definitely put her in jail. You should believe that I can do that." Liam spoke up slowly. Although his voice was not loud, it made her scared. Abigail didn''t know what to say. "What do you want?" Abigail held back her anger and asked. With his family and the Powerline Group, it was definitely not a problem to put Tina in jail. "You make me sound like I have a purpose!" "Don''t you?" Abigail asked. Would Liam do something without a purpose? "You know me so well!" Hearing this, Liam suddenly asked with a smile. The maic voice was transmitted through the line. Abigail was stunned. He had no particr intention in saying that, but Abigail felt a little sensitive and quickly changed the subject. "Everyone does things for a purpose. I believe Mr. Jones is the same!" Hearing this, Liam smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Will you agree with everything I want?" Abigail''s heart trembled when she heard this. His words sounded too intimate. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 She didn''t know what Liam was thinking about. All she knew was that this man was a fierce and ambitious man with mysteries that she couldn''t understand thoroughly. "What, what do you mean by that?" Abigail asked but felt kind of guilty for some reason. "What do I mean? You don''t know what I mean, then how dare you to beg me!" Liam sneered. Abigail was suddenly speechless, and didn''t know how to reply to him. Liam was a man who had thest words, and she could do nothing about it. She couldn''t ept the truth that Tina would go to jail for such a little thing, and she felt that she had no choice in the matter. ''Liam must be avenging Olive.'' That was all Abigail could think of. Abigail hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, what do you want from me?" Abigail''s words met Liam''s expectations. He thought she wouldpromise but he did not expect it to I guess, one who could adapt to change quickly must be wise. Abigail was a smart woman who knew that his requirements would be more uneptable if she was stalling for more time. After thinking about it, Liam said leisurely, "Are you sure?" "Of course, people like you,, Mr. Jones won''t stop until they get what they want. Why don''t I take advantage of this opportunity?" Abigail said. Liam couldn''t regard these words as praise though he gave them some thought. However, there was no denying that this was the truth. "Actually, nothing serious. I just have a case at hand that''s a little tricky. Since Miss Swift is so capable, I''m sure you can handle it." Liam said. After hearing his words, Abigail still couldn''t believe it. "That''s it?" "That''s it. Otherwise, what else do you think I will ask you to do?" Hearing Abigail''s words with an incredulous tone, Liam joked. Abigail had nothing to say, "..." Liam''s words were so enigmatic that no one knew what he was thinking. But that would be for the best. "Okay, I will ept your request and I hope you keep your words and drop the charges against Tina," All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Abigail said. Liam smiled after hearing Abigail''s words, and said. "Miss Swift, don''t be so confident. I will consider dropping the charges only if you settle the case!" "You..." Abigail frowned. "But don''t worry, I won''t sue her for the time being, and she won''t go to jail either," Liam said. Abigail was quite relieved after hearing his words. That would be the best she could hope for now. It was almost impossible for Liam to give in. "Okay, it''s a deal," Abigail said. "Fair!" Liam said softly and then continued, "Miss Swift, wee back to work." After that, Liam hung up without saying anything. Liam''s deep eyes narrowed slightly, and a determined smile rose from the corner of his mouth as he looked at the phone. This result was within his expectations... However, on the other side of the phone, Abigail also breathed a sigh of relief. Abigail didn''t expect she would get back to thepany in this way as she always convinced she would be leaving the Powerline Group. Still, Tina was worth it. But what Abigail didn''t know was that this was a conspiracy especially prepared for her... Chapter 21 Chapter 21 The next day, Abigail returned to work at the Powerline Group. Fortunately, only Emily knew that she had resigned. Otherwise, she would be very embarrassed that she came back after resigning. Emily was not a gossip. When she saw that Abigail came back, she smiled and said, "Mr. Jones values you very much. Work hard." "Thank you, Emily!" Abigail nodded and smiled. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. It was not that she had given up the resignation idea. She would leave after she solved the matter about Tina. It was a time bomb for her to stay here, stay with Liam. When Liam found her real identity, she would be worse off than she was now. But the only thing that was certain was that Liam did not recognize her for the time being. At the thought of this, she felt a little relieved. In the office. Abigail stood in front of Liam. Looking at her, Liam raised his eyebrowszily. "You''re back?" His tone made Abigail feel bad. It was like a woman who left in a bad mood and finally went back to her husband. Abigail stood there, ignoring the weird feeling, and nodded. "Well, Mr. Jones, what''s the case that you mentioned?" Speaking of this, Liam picked up a document from the desk and handed it to her. "That''s it." Abigail reached out her hand, took it, and scanned it casually. "If you can settle the case, of course, I will do what I said." That was what Abigail was waiting for. She closed the file and looked at Liam with a look of certainty. "Mr. Jones, I believe you are a man of your word." Listening to Abigail, Liam raised his eyebrows. "Of course." Holding the file, Abigail looked at him and said, "Well, if there''s nothing else, I''ll go out first!" Liam nodded and replied, "Okay." And then Abigail turned around and walked out. When the door was closed, Liam raised his head and looked at Abigail''s back, with a confident smile on his face. Coming out of Liam''s office, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief. Every time she talked to Liam, she felt inexplicably worried. Just then, her phone rang. When she saw that it was Tina, she immediately answered the phone. "Sweetie." "Abi, did you look for Liam?" As soon as she answered the phone, Tina cut right to the chase. "What''s wrong?" "Tell me the answer," Tina said. Abigail thought about it and answered, "Yes." "I knew it." Tina said angrily, then added, "I''m sorry to have troubled you." "Come on, I didn''t do anything." "Impossible! A man like Liam would let you do nothing?" Tina didn''t believe it. "He really didn''t. He just let me go back to work and gave me a case." Abigail said simply. However, Tina didn''t believe it. "That''s it!" "Yes, madam." Tina knew that Abigail said this on purpose because she didn''t want her to worry, but now things had happened and couldn''t be changed. "All right, but if Liam makes things difficult for you, give up the case. Don''t do it. I don''t believe he''ll really sue me for jail." Tina said. "Okay, I know. Don''t worry, I know my limits." "Well, call me if you need anything," Tina said. "Okay, I''m hanging up!" "See you." After hanging up the phone, Abigail also returned to her desk. She sat on the chair and opened the document that Liam gave her... Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Abigail looked at it. It was not her job at all. Thinking of this, Abigail frowned. Obviously, Liam did it on purpose. He deliberately made things difficult for her. But now, no matter what, she had to settle it. Since she was back, she must seed, or Tina would be in trouble. Thinking of this, Abigail became even more determined. When she looked at the contract, she thought that it was lucky that when she was studying in London, she was involved in all kinds of work. She was taught open education when abroad, not only design but alsomunication and coping skills, and also the ability to handle all kinds of things. Seeing Abigail''s behavior, Jane, who was sitting next to her, slid over to Abigail''s side. "Abigail, why didn''t youe to work yesterday?" Jane asked. Nobody would dare not to work on the first day if he worked at the Powerline Group. But Abigail was an exception. They guessed for a long time but didn''t expect to see her again today. Hearing Jane''s voice, Abigail looked up at her and said with a smile, "I had something personal to deal with. So I asked for a day off." "I see. We''ve been guessing for a long time and thought you were fired." Jane said with a smile. It was not impossible for a person to be fired within a day if he worked at the Powerline Group. Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail also smiled and did not say anything. She hoped that Liam would fire her. Abigail didn''t say that to Jane, or else Jane would have thought she lost her mind. Abigail continued to look at the document, and Jane raised her eyebrows. "What are you looking at?" "Oh, a job that Mr. Jones gives me!" Abigail said, without hiding it from Jane. Hearing Abigail''s words, Jane leaned over curiously. When she saw the signature of the contract, she frowned. "How could it be this?" Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail knew she meant something else. It was definitely not as simple as a contract. "What''s wrong?" Abigail turned to look at Jane and asked. Jane asked, "Did you offend Mr. Jones?" ''Uh...'' ''Is it that obvious?'' All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Abigail wanted to ask back, but she couldn''t do it. She just smiled and looked at her and asked, "Why do you say that?" At this moment, Jane looked aside and then leaned in front of Abigail. "Let me tell you. The party B of this contract, that boss, is an old perv." When hearing this, Abigail frowned slightly. "Besides, he''s got a weird and ugly temper. No one in the wholepany dares to take over. Even the PR Department can''t do anything about it. It is also a headache for Mr. Jones." Jane whispered in Abigail''s ear. Jane would definitely be surprised that the contract was actually given to Abigail. A beautiful woman like Abigail would definitely be taken advantage of... Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail understood what was going on. And she also understood what Liam meant by "tricky". That was the truth. She realized that the fact that Liam had given her this tricky case was obviously asking her to... "Abigail, you should leave it to Mr. Jones. It has nothing good to you." Jane said. But did she have a choice now? Chapter 23 Chapter 23 She was quite sure that if she failed, Liam would never let Tina go. As a result, now, she had no other choice. Thinking it over, Abigail looked at Jane, "Do you have more information about this boss?" "A lot..." Jane said. N?velDrama.Org owns this. "Tell me." Abigail still needed to know about him first, which would make things much more convenient for her. At least, she wouldn''t be caught off guard. So Jane told Abigail everything she knew without reservation. After that, Jane looked at her, "These are all personal experiences of our female employees. But other employees from otherpanies have experienced more terrible things. Abigail, you really want to go!" Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail smiled, "This is my first task at the Powerline Group. Since our president thinks so highly of me, how could I refuse?" "But this is not part of your work." "Therefore, I am very grateful to him for training me!" Abigail said this sentence almost word by word. But Jane wondered why she seemed to see Abigail gnashing her teeth. So, for the rest of the day, Abigail had been learning about the boss with who she was going to sign the contract. When it was about time to get off work, Abigail went to get a ss of water but almost ran into someone as soon as she walked out. And that person was no one other than Olive. She was dressed in green which made her very bright and coquettish. However, the water in Abigail''s ss almost spilled on her. Olive stared at Abigail. Fortunately, she moved aside quickly, or else she would be sshed all over again. She frowned discontentedly and was just about to explode. When she looked up and saw Abigail, Olive knitted her brows, "Again?" When she saw Olive, Abigail looked very calm, "Why?" "Why are you still here?" Olive looked at Abigail and asked. Shouldn''t she have resigned now? Olive''s tone sounded as if she had thest words. Abigail smiled, "If I''m not here, where should I be?" "You''ve resigned, haven''t you?" Olive blurted out. Hearing this, Abigail knitted her brows. She believed that few people knew about her resignation. But how could Olive know? Of course, Abigail didn''t show her confusion. Instead, she looked at Olive and frowned, "Miss Miller, you heard that I quit? How did you know that? Maybe, you still have someone..." Hearing this, Olive exploded in an instance. "What nonsense are you talking about?" Before Abigail could finish her words, Olive interrupted her angrily. If Liam heard these words, their rtionship woulde to an end. Abigail stood there, looking neither angry nor arrogant. It seemed like losing temper was just Olive''s own business which had nothing to do with her. However, the calmer she was, the more irritating Olive was. Olive looked at her and warned her, "Miss Swift, you probably know what you should and shouldn''t say. If you don''t want to be fired, you''d better behave yourself." After that, she red at Abigail and turned to walk towards Liam''s office. Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Abigail stood there, hearing Olive''s warning but ignoring itpletely. But it could be imagined what Olive would say to Liam again... Thinking of this, Abigail walked up to the seat unconcernedly, with the ss in her hand. As soon as she got there, someone surrounded her. "Abigail, were you arguing with Olive just now?" The colleague asked. Abigail stood there, looking at their gossipy expressions. Abigail thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think I''m quarreling with her?" "She looks irritated!" "Normally, the wrong people like to get angry," Abigail said indifferently. Hearing this, the gossipers couldn''t help but smile. They didn''t expect Abigail to be quite humorous. Jane looked at her and kindly reminded her, "Abigail, she is the daughter of the Miller Group and in the longest romantic rtionship with our president. You should be careful not to have a direct conflict with her." In their eyes, Olive was about to be the wife of their president. However, what they did not know was that there was already a direct conflict on the first day of her arrival. No matter what, it was out of her kindness. Abigail nodded. "OK, I got it!" They chatted for a while and then scattered. Olive walked into the office angrily, "What bad luck!" Liam was working at his desk. Noticing that she hade in, he looked up at her, "What''s wrong?" Olive walked in, pouting as if she had been wronged, "I was almost drenched again." Hearing this, Liam looked at her and said, "It seems you are still okay." What made her even angrier was that the person was Abigail. However, she didn''t say it in front of Liam. Thinking for a while, Olive went over and put her hands around Liam''s shoulder, "Liam, why is Abigail still in thepany?" Hearing this, Liam suddenly knew what had happened. "She offended you again!" Liam looked at her and asked. Needless to say, the person who almost spilled water all over her body was Abigail. Looking at Liam, Olive finally nodded. So it was. At this moment, Olive hugged Liam and couldn''t help but act coquettishly, "She''s really hateful, so were N?velDrama.Org owns this. her words..." Hearing Olive''s words, Liam smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I keep her because she could be useful for me..." Hearing this, Olive looked at him, "What do you mean?" "I arranged for her to sign the contract with the Ratio Group." One sentence made it all clear. Hearing this, Olive opened her mouth in surprise. "Are, are you serious?" As an upper-ss person, she knew the president of the Ratio Group too well. However, she didn''t expect Liam would let Abigail go. "She got the case now," Liam said with a smile. "But why did she take over it?" "Well, it''s not up to her..." Hearing this, Olive was relieved a lot. The process wasn''t important, but the purpose was. Most importantly, Liam was willing to vent her anger on Abigail. Thinking of this, she hugged Liam, "I know, you must have done this for me, right? Liam, thank you..." As she spoke, she leaned over and kissed Liam on the neck. Hearing Olive''s words, Liam just smiled and didn''t answer. Chapter 25 Chapter 25 The next day. Early in the morning, Abigail resolutely went to the Ratio Group. No matter what would happen and no matter how dangerous it was, she would have a try. When she arrived at thepany, she walked directly to the front desk. "Hello, may I know if President Green is here?" "Hello, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist looked at Abigail and asked, but there was still a trace of pity in her eyes. Abigail understood what the receptionist''s gaze meant. However, at this point, she had nothing to lose. Abigail smiled. "No, I''m a designer of the Powerline Group. I need to talk to President Green about a project. Please let him know!" "Sorry, you have to get an appointment." The receptionist said. "Could you please make an exception for me this time?" Abigail asked. "Sorry, I can''t..." Just then, a man came over from the other side and saw Abigail from afar. He stopped there. A light shed in his eyes. It was the notorious President Frank Green. "What happened?" Frank asked in a cold voice, but his eyes were fixed on Abigail from afar. At this moment, the person behind him immediately said, "I''ll have a look." Then he walked over. After some discussion, Abigail looked in his direction. When she saw Frank, Abigail walked towards him directly. "Are you President Green?" Abigail asked calmly. "Exactly." President Green looked straight at Abigail and said coldly. "Hello, I''m a designer of the Powerline Group. I''m looking for you because of the contract." Abigail looked at him and said inly. Frank admired her calmness. The people who saw him were either afraid, coy, or pretentious. Only the woman in front of him looked calm. ''Is she not clear?'' ''Or ... pretending to be calm?'' "The Powerline Group?" Hearing this, Frank raised his eyebrows and looked at the documents in Abigail''s arms. "Yes!" Abigail stood there very calmly, regardless of Frank''s gaze. A few secondster, Frank averted his eyes from her. "I''m going out now. I''m in a rush!" "When are you avable? I coulde back next time." Abigail said. Frank was about to leave, but he stopped. After thinking about it, he fixed his eyes on her. "Only tonight!" Abigail was stunned. At this moment, his words were enough to show there was another meaning behind them. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. There were also many curious and pitiful gazes towards Abigail. Abigail knew exactly what their gazes meant, but she didn''t do anything about it. She just thought to herself that the rumors were true. Frank was indeed a jerk. But he still had some abilities, otherwise, she wouldn''t have to finalize the contract with him. Finally, Abigail looked at him and said, "Okay, when do you prefer? I''ll be there ahead of time. I''ll be waiting for you." Hearing Abigail''s words, Frankughed. "Jay, tell her my schedule." With that, Frank walked away. The assistant named Jay stayed and gave the address to Abigail. After they all left, Abigail was still standing there, with all kinds of shady and sarcastic gazes around her... In their opinion, she was just another person who would do anything to get what she wanted... Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Abigail stood there, ignoring them. If she cared too much about other people''s opinions and thoughts in this world, she would be exhausted. So Abigail just needed to believe in herself. At this thought, Abigail turned around and walked out of the Ratio Group. Jane rushed up to her as soon as Abigail got back. "Abigail, how is it going? He didn''t do anything to you, did he!" Jane asked worriedly. Meanwhile, Liam was walking into the Design Department, since he had to pass by the Design Department on his way to the office. While at this moment, the assistant blocked Liam''s way and talked to him about something. Liam pretended to be listening to him, but actually, he was paying attention to the conversation between Abigail and Jane. ''She had actually gone there?'' N?velDrama.Org owns this text. He believed that once that case was released, she would soon know Frank''s personality. But it didn''t ur to him that she would still go there. Liam thought she woulde and beg him. It was getting interesting. At this moment, Abigail stood there and smiled, "What can he do to me in broad daylight!" Hearing this, Jane widened her eyes innocently, "So, you made it?" Abigail shook her head, "No, he asked me to meet him tonight." Hearing this, Jane frowned, "Tonight?" "I knew he would do this. Abigail, don''t go. His purpose is too obvious. If you go, you will give yourself up." Jane said anxiously. Even so, she still had to go. Not only for the sake of Tina but also for herself, she would cut all ties with Liam. She still had to go. There was no other choice. Abigail smiled at Jane, "Well, I got it. Don''t worry. I''ll be fine!" Jane didn''t know what Abigail was thinking when hearing Abigail''s words, but in this case, she couldn''t say anything more, "Anyway, be careful!" "Sure!" Abigail patted Jane on the shoulder. "Let''s start to work." "OK." Liam, who was standing not far away, heard each word of their conversation. ''Meet him tonight?'' ''Well...'' ording to Abigail''s tone, she would go anyway. Meanwhile, the manager looked at Liam, "President, so is that OK?" At this moment, Liam recovered himself, "Let''s talk about it in my office!" He said and walked away. The manager stood there for a moment, then turned around and followed Liam into his office. Abigail was sitting at her desk. It was not until Liam had left that she raised her eyes and looked over there... There were too many feelings in that pair of eyes. Things had changed drastically in two years. In the evening, Abigail showed up at Pearl Hotel on time. In room 103. Standing at the door, Abigail took a deep breath. She had to seed, no matter what. At this thought, she stepped in. When she pushed open the door, a huge desk came into her view, while only Frank was at the desk. Of course, his assistant, who had told her the address this morning, was standing behind him. Abigail walked in and put on a smile, "Mr. Green, I''m so sorry. It was me who wanted to talk to you about work, but I had you booked the location." Frank said nothing when he saw Abigail acting so humbly. He made an eye gesture by ncing at the ce in front of him, "Have a seat." Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Abigail looked at them and could only muster up the courage to sit there properly, not too far or too close from Frank. Frank nced at Abigail without saying anything. He looked up at the assistant beside him and the assistant immediately understood, nodded, and turned to walk out. After the assistant walked out, Abigail felt a little nervous. After all, the man sitting in front of her was famous for being lecherous. But even so, she still pretended to be calm. While Frank looked at her with subtle meaning. Abigail searched through the opening lines in her mind. Thinking for a while, she decided to speak directly, "Mr. Green, this is about ourpany..." "What''s your name?" Frank interrupted her. Abigail was stunned and dissatisfied but she was unable to show it, so she had to smile and say, "Abigail." "Abigail..." Frank mumbled and then said, "Nice name, very nice!" Listening to Frank''s praise, Abigail didn''t think it was apliment at all. She just smiled. "Well, Mr. Green, let''s go on..." "Do you know? You look like a person I knew." Abigail''s words were interrupted again by Frank. Abigail could only sit there awkwardly, waiting for him to finish his sentence. Suddenly, Frank looked at her straightly and seriously, but in Abigail''s eyes, that kind of seriousness was quite strange. Abigail couldn''t help but step back and look at him. "You look like the woman I love the most. She''s my first love... If it weren''t for your age, I would have mistaken you for her." Frank looked at Abigail and said with a serious look. But that serious look, in Abigail''s eyes, was just a ploy of him. When she heard this, Abigail was thinking that this line had been yed so many times in TV dramas, and someone actually still used it. It seemed that the rumors were true. But this Frank was not very skillful. The means he used were old-fashioned. But what could Abigail say? She could only sit there awkwardly and smile. "Mr. Green is very rational." The hidden meaning was that if Frank did something to her, he would be regarded as irrational. Hearing this, Frank paused and looked at Abigail carefully, while Abigail sat there and epted the judgment of his sight without any fear. Then he suddenlyughed. "You''re not afraid of me!" "Mr. Green, why are you always joking? Why should I be afraid of you?" "You really didn''t hear the rumors about me?" Frank asked. He didn''t believe that she hadn''t heard about it. "Mr. Green, you''ve said that they were just rumors. Why should I believe that?" Looking at Abigail, Frank suddenly smiled. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. ''Is she too naive or too bold?'' Chapter 28 Chapter 28 At this moment, a sneer rose from the corner of Frank''s mouth. "Miss Swift, you are the most eloquent person I have ever met." Did she think that if she said that, he wouldn''t do anything? Abigail''s heart thumped as she listened. It seemed that the man was really hard to deal with. Even though she looked like his first love, there was no need to tell this to her. Abigail could only sit there, seemingly calm. There was a smile on her face. "Mr. Green, let''s talk about work." "Miss Swift, you''ve said so much. Are you thirsty? Please allow me to propose a toast to you!" At this moment, Frank raised his ss. Abigail hesitated and said, "Mr. Green, I can''t drink!" "Is Miss Swift joking? How can you refuse to drink when youe out to talk about business? Don''t you respect me?" Frank looked at Abigail, threatening. His tone was so tough. It seemed that Abigail must drink it anyway. As he had already said this, if Abigail did not drink, it would embarrass him. "Well, fine, I''ll have a drink." Abigail said, "I also hope that after I finish drinking, I can talk about the contract with Mr. Green." Frank didn''t answer. He just looked at Abigail and waited for her to drink the wine. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Abigail looked at the wine in front of her. It seemed that she couldn''t avoid it, so she raised her head and drank it directly. In fact, she was lying when she said that she couldn''t. It was dangerous for a woman to drink in front of a jerk, so Abigail refused. Abigail only agreed to drink it when she couldn''t refuse it. Therefore, Abigail drank it all in one go. After drinking it, she coughed on purpose, pretending to drink it for the first time. "Mr. Green, can we talk now!" Abigail put down the ss and looked at Frank. Frank ignored her words and looked at Abigail. "Miss Swift, you are a good drinker." "Thanks for yourpliment, Mr. Green!" "Come on, have another drink," Frank said. Hearing this, Abigail frowned. "Mr. Green, let''s talk about work first." "What''s the hurry? Drink this first." Frank said. "I''ll get drunk," Abigail said with certainty. "If you''re drunk, we''ll talk about the business another day." Frank also said directly, always avoiding talking about work. Hearing this, Abigail could tell that Frank had no intention of talking to her about work at all. "Mr. Green, it is very important to me..." Abigail looked at him and said. She could only try. At this moment, Frank looked at Abigail. "Then you should know what to talk about first." Hearing this, Abigail frowned and watched Frank get closer to her. "What do you want?" Abigail asked, frowning at him. "Since you are already here, stop pretending to be innocent..." Frank said, and then, his hand slowly reached out to her. Abigail wanted to move, but suddenly she realized that she was a little dizzy. She turned to look at Frank, "Don''t be afraid. I won''t hurt you, but you really look like my first love..." Seeing him approach, Abigail felt disgusted. "Mr. Green, you''d better think about it before you do anything." Hearing this, Frank frowned. "What do you mean?" At this moment, Abigail looked at her watch. "You only have ten minutes!" Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Frank frowned and looked at Abigail with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean by that?" "When I came, I made an anonymous call to your wife. I think she should be on her way now." Hearing this, Frank was stunned, with his eyes widened. "What did you say? Are you crazy?" Everyone knew that Frank had a roving eye for beauties, but few knew that he was a "live-in son-in- Although he was capable, everything he had now depended on his current wife. Thanks to the employees of theirpany because Abigail heard them whispering, so she came up with this idea. "Mr. Green, I don''t mean anything else. I just want to sign this contract. Honestly, this contract is beneficial for you and the Powerline Group." Abigail looked at him and said. Frank''s expression changed. "Are you threatening me!" "You are the one who is hesitant to sign the contract, and I have no choice but to do it," Abigail said. "You -" At this moment, Abigail looked at her watch. "You still have eight minutes to go." Frank red at her and then sneered. "Do you think you''ll be fine if shees? Do you think you can keep out of the affair and keep your reputation?" Speaking of this, Abigail smiled with certainty. "I''m sorry, but I''ve already recorded our conversation. If it''s not enough to change your mind, I don''t care. My future is insignificantpared to Mr. Green''s!" Abigail looked at him and said word by word. It seemed that she had made up her mind ande up with full ns. Her certain look made Frank anxious and angry, but he didn''t know what to say. He didn''t expect her to do so thoroughly. Frank looked straight at her. "Mr. Green, you still have six minutes..." Abigail reminded him on the side. "As long as you sign it, I will go out immediately. I will never run into your wife." Abigail said with absolute certainty. Frank watched her. Could he still hesitate at this time? If his wife found out, all of this would be in vain. Although he was very unhappy about being set up like this, he still had topromise for his immediate interests. "Give me the contract," Frank said coldly. Hearing this, Abigail knew that things were about to be done, and immediately handed over the contract. He didn''t even look at it, and he just signed it with a pen. Abigail looked at it with a determined smile. After signing, Frank threw the pen directly on the desk. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Everyone could tell from his look that he was furious. However, Abigail did not care about it. She immediately took back the contract, looked at Frank, and still spoke very sincerely. "Mr. Green, I''m sorry. I have no choice but to do it." "Get out!" Frank growled at her in a low voice. Seeing how angry he was, Abigail didn''t want to say anything more, so she turned around and left... Outside the hotel door, Liam still drove here for no reason. The conversation he had earlier this day reverberated in his mind all the time, and he didn''t know why. Anyway, he came here. After a long time of hesitation, he found himself an excuse to get out of the car and go straight in. After asking about the private room they had reserved, he went. But the moment he reached the room, the door was opened and a figure came out and bumped into him directly... Chapter 30 Chapter 30 At this moment, Abigail also turned back, and her face flushed. When she saw Liam, she was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" Liam looked at Abigail in his arms and frowned. "What are you doing?" Abigail leaned against him, staring at him with her beautiful eyes. Her fair skin, delicate features, and especially her flushed cheeks showed that she was obviously drunk. But she looked a little charming by that. "Mr. Green, Mr. Green ising out," Abigail said nervously. Abigail was nervous and Liam looked at the door behind her. At this moment, the door sounded. Abigail was dizzy and didn''t know what to do when she saw that the door was about to be opened. But then, Liam suddenly pulled her aside, and the door of the other room was pushed open, and they hid inside. Liam leaned against the door, while Abigail leaned against him. They were close together and did not speak. At this moment, they could only hear the door outside was opened. Then there was a flurry of footsteps. "Mr. Green, what''s wrong?" At that time, someone immediately went up to ask. "How dare she tricks me? Go and find that woman for me now." Frank shouted angrily. When the assistant heard his words, he did not dare to ask him and immediately looked for her. Frank stood at the gate, getting angrier. He just called his wife. She was still ying mahjong. It wasn''t like that what the woman said. So, he concluded that the woman had said that on purpose. The more he thought about that, the angrier he got, and then he left the ce in a rage. Liam and Abigail were relieved when they heard silence outside. At this moment, Abigail leaned against Liam, and she was flushed and dizzy. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Liam lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. Her lips were pink and her skins were white. She was so charming and sexy. Just looking at her, Liam actually felt his heartbeat quicken. "How are you?" Liam said. At this moment, Abigail directly pressed the contract on Liam''s body, "Contract, I got it." Liam frowned at the contract she was holding on to him. It seemed that this woman was really not afraid of anything in order to sign the contract. Inexplicably, he was a little angry. "You''re really not afraid of anything for the contract!" Liam said sarcastically. But now, Abigail didn''t want to say anything to him at all. She slowly left away from him. "The contract is for you. I, I''m leaving first!" ''Leaving?'' ''Could she leave as she staggers like this?'' Liam walked up and grabbed her. "How are you?" Abigail was so dizzy that she paused for a moment. "I''m really fine. I just drank a ss of wine..." ''A ss of wine?'' ''She got drunk like this just by a ss of wine?'' ''What a wimpy drinker she is?'' Just then, when Liam was about to say something, Abigail suddenly closed her eyes and fainted. The next second, he held her and walked out of the hotel... Chapter 31 Chapter 31 When Abigail woke up, she was in the hospital. When she opened her eyes, Liam was sitting right in front of her. Seeing him, Abigail frowned, "Why are you here?" Abigail asked. She couldn''t think of what had happened for a moment. Liam sat across from her, expressionless. "Can''t you remember?" N?velDrama.Org owns this. Speaking of this, Abigail frowned. In retrospect, she remembered that she had an appointment with Frank at the restaurant to negotiate a contract, and he kept persuading her to drink wine, and then... Then she remembered the rest! She looked at Liam, then looked around him. "Am I in the hospital?" "You have remembered it?" Liam asked. Abigail nodded and looked at Liam. "You sent me here?" "Or else?" Liam retorted unhappily. Thinking of her, he couldn''t help but feel angry. This woman was really bold and fearless. Seeing that Liam was unhappy, Abigail got out of bed without saying anything. She preferred to be a mute rather than talk to him. Just then, the doctor pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Abigail, he naturally thought that she was Liam''s girlfriend and looked a little courteous and ttery. "How''s it, Miss Swift? Are you better now?" Abigail nodded. "Um, much better!" "Don''t drink this kind of spirit in the future. Fortunately, Mr. Jones sent you to the hospital in time. Otherwise, you would really have to sleep for days and nights." The doctor looked at Abigail and said with a smile. Naturally, Abigail was mistaken for Liam''s girlfriend. Everyone knew that Liam changed women as fast as he flipped through a book, so there was nothing wrong for the doctor to think so. After hearing the doctor''s words, Abigail was stunned for a moment. She originally thought Frank had added something to her drink. It turned out to be a spirit. But hearing the doctor''s words, she felt it was no less than his drugging her. Abigail just smiled and nodded. "Thank you, doctor!" At this moment, Liam looked at the doctor. "How is it? Can she be discharged?" The doctor nodded. "No problem. After you go back, just remember to drink more water." The doctor said. Speaking of this, Liam nodded. So, the two of them walked out of the hospital. It was already dark and almost twelve o''clock. Abigail stood at the door and looked at Liam. "Mr. Jones, thank you for sending me to the hospital. I''ll pay you back for today''s medical expenses." Abigail said very politely. Listening to Abigail, Liam sneered. "I didn''t expect you to work so hard for the contract." Abigail found his words sarcastic. She turned to look at Liam. "Isn''t that what you want?" Abigail looked at Liam and asked directly. After hearing Jane''s words, she concluded that Liam had done it on purpose. Was he really upset with her, or was he trying to make fun of her? She didn''t know about the love, but everything that happened to her now was all thanks to him. Listening to Abigail''s words, Liam suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Abigail. He did it on purpose, but he didn''t expect Abigail would really do that. He thought she would give up when facing those huge difficulties, but he didn''t expect this... Chapter 32 Chapter 32 He looked at Abigail, and she stared back at him. There was no fear in her eyes, but determination and frankness which couldn''t be ignored. At this moment, Liam didn''t know what to say. While Liam was speechless, Abigail took advantage of the situation. "The contract has been signed. I hope Mr. Jones will keep your promise and drop the charges against Tina." "Of course, I''m a man of my word. We will discuss this matter in detail tomorrow at thepany." With that, Liam turned around and left. ''At thepany?'' ''Does it need to be discussed in detail?'' The contract had been signed so he just needed to drop the charges against Tina. What did he want to discuss? Little did she know that this was just his tactic. But by the time Abigail could respond, Liam had already driven over. The window slid down, revealing Liam''s handsome face. "Get in the car!" Liam said directly. Abigail was not used to hismanding tone. "Why?" "I''ll give you a ride," Liam said word by word. After such a big incident today, she was not safe alone. Abigail frowned, not expecting him to say he would take her home. He was so weird. "No, I''ll just take a taxi home myself," Abigail said. Liam looked at her and frowned slightly. Seeing that she wouldn''tpromise, he drove away without more words. Abigail stood there, watching his car fade away, feeling a little unhappy, but she didn''t think much about it and turned to leave. She took a taxi and went straight back. It was already 1 am when she reached home. Her head began to pain, perhaps because of the alcohol. Or perhaps it was because of the wind since she kept the window of the taxi down all the way home. She just threw herself on the bed and fell asleep without taking a shower. It was morning when she woke up. She was woken up by a call. Abigail found the phone and ced it directly to her ear. "Hello..." "Abi, did you promise Liam something?" Tina asked over there. Hearing it was Tina''s voice, Abigail became a little lucid and opened her eyes. "What''s wrong?" "He dropped the charges against me!" Tina said. Hearing this, Abigail felt relieved. "That''s great." "Did you do something?" Tina asked doubtfully over there. "No, it''s just that I finished the case he gave me. I didn''t expect him to keep his word." Abigail said. Tina was excited to hear this. "Abi, I knew it was you. Thank you. I love you so much!" "Come on." As she spoke, Abigail looked at the clock. When she saw the time, she becamepletely awake. "Talk to youter. I''m going to bete for work." "Ah? Oh, okay!" Before Tina could finish her sentence, Abigail hung up. Abigail was running out of time, so she quickly got up and dressed up. It only took her ten minutes to leave the house. She only had a few minutes left when she arrived at thepany. However, something struck her suddenly. N?velDrama.Org owns this. ''I had already decided to resign, so why should I be afraid of beingte?'' Chapter 33 Chapter 33 With that in mind, Abigail was not afraid of anything. She boldly walked in with a fearless face. But when she went in, she was surprised. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Then she heard something. It was the sound of a zipper. Abigail was startled and turned to look at them. But then, She heard apuseing from the Design Department office. Abigail looked at them in confusion. "What happened?" At that moment, Jane came up and said with a smile, "Abigail, we already know that you managed to sign the contract with the Ratio Group." Hearing this, Abigail looked at them and smiled awkwardly. "So many of us have failed to do this thing. I didn''t expect you to sign a contract after only a few days here. Abigail, congrattions!" Then the colleagues in the Design Department all looked at Abigail with some appreciation. Abigail looked around at her colleagues. Formon sense, the workce was full of mutual calctions and suspicions among colleagues, but she hade here and had not found such a bad situation for the time being, and also liked the environment here, which was ideal for her. But it was a pity that she could not continue to work here. Abigail smiled. "I''m Just lucky!" Looking at them, she didn''t know what happened yesterday. Behind every sess, there was a bloody price to pay. Yesterday, Abigail just tried her fortune and didn''t expect to really get a contract with thepany. But fortunately, Liam was also there. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. "Congrattions, Abigail!" "Congrattions? Congrattions on what?" Abigail asked. "Don''t you know?" "What!" "Mr. Jones said that whoever signed the contract with the Ratio Group could participate in the new designpetition offered by Italy." Hearing this, Abigail was stunned. She had heard of this before, but very few people had been able to get a ce in thepetition. ''Did Liam say that?'' "Abigail, you are so lucky. There are only two ces avable. Not only that, but you can also design contracts with the Ratio Group!" Jane said enviously. Hearing this, Abigail smiled, "I didn''t know!" "Mr. Jones said it himself. Now it''s all yours." Jane said. But in the face of all this, Abigail was still in a state of confusion and doubt. Just then, someone behind her shouted, "Abigail, Mr. Jones wants you to go to his office." Hearing this, Abigail turned around, saw someoneing, and nodded. "Okay, I''ll be right there." So, she turned to look at Jane and the other colleagues. "Thank you for your encouragement and affirmation. Actually, I''m just a little luckier. I''ll go to the office first. Then I''ll treat you to afternoon tea." Abigail said. What she said was modest andfortable for others to hear, and the other colleagues smiled and nodded. So, Abigail turned around and went to the office. Liam was still sitting on his chair, wearing his shirt alone, which set off his lean and sturdy body perfectly. Abigail knocked on the door and walked straight in, "Mr. Jones, you''re looking for me?" Liam nodded. "Sit down." Looking at Liam, Abigail hesitated and sat across from him. At this moment, Liam took a document and put it in front of her. "Take a look!" Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Abigail frowned, but she still read the document. It was a form. At this moment, Abigail looked up at Liam and asked. "What is this?" "The form for the Insight Design Competition. Complete it as soon as possible and give it back to me." Liam said. It seemed that what Jane and others said was true. "Since you seeded to sign a contract with the Ratio Group, you would be able to take part in the Insight Design Competition." Abigail was a little stunned and paused for a moment. She knew that taking part in thepetition held in Italy was the dream of many people, including her, but... She was about to resign. Not hearing Abigail''s answer, Liam looked up at her and asked, "Is there any problem?" "Mr. Jones, first of all, thank you for keeping your promise and dropping the charges against Tina, but I still n to resign." Abigail said. Hearing this, Liam frowned. "Why?" "No reason," Abigail said with absolute certainty. Should she tell him that they were once a couple although she was his nominal wife and they had already divorced? Should she tell him that she felt ufortable to be in the samepany with him? "Because of the misunderstanding that happenedst time!" Liam asked. "No." Abigail shook her head. In short, Liam felt that the woman in front of him wanted to resign was not just because of her private matters, but she seemed to have a secret. And he was most interested in women with secrets. At this moment, Liam still looked very calm. "Miss Swift, I hope you think it over. It''s not easy to work in the Powerline Group. Besides, you can have a chance to participate in that Competition. Many people long for this valuable opportunity." Hearing this, Abigail frowned. He was right. Being able to participate in this Competition was what many people longed for, and it was also her dream... Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Did she really want to give up this opportunity? Abigail hesitated. Liam could tell that she was moved. After thinking about it, he said, "I once promised that anyone who helped the Powerline Group to sign the contract with the Ratio Group would take this opportunity. If you really have something personal to deal with, I can give you two days off. And you shoulde back to work on time. But if you give up this opportunity and resign, I will not keep you. You are not that important to ourpany." Liam said word by word. Sometimes, letting go was also a means to an end. Abigail frowned when hearing his words. Liam''s words left her to guard down. Otherwise, she would always feel that Liam did this on purpose. And could she give up her own dream so easily? Abigail felt that if she missed this opportunity, she would have to wait long for another chance. She nced at Liam. Perhaps, in his memory, he had forgotten her, his nominal ex-wife. And why should she keep worrying about it? After thinking about it, Abigail said, "Okay, I''ll give it to you after filling out the form." This meant, she decided to stay. Hearing this, Liam raised his eyebrowszily with his head lowering down. The smile on his face showed his solid judgment that she would stay. "Good," Liam said. "If you have no other question, I''ll go out," Abigail said. "Wait a minute." "Yes?" Abigail looked at Liam and asked. Liam also looked at Abigail and wanted to say something, but he didn''t know what to say. He paused for a moment and said, "Nothing. You can leave." Abigail was also slightly stunned, feeling weird. She did not ask him. She just turned around and walked out of his office. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 After returning from the office, Abigail took a deep breath of relief. She hoped that she wouldn''t regret her decision. Having thought about it, she still didn''t feel safe. She called Tina and told her everything. "You really made up your mind!" Tina asked over the phone. Abigail nodded. "Yes, maybe I was just overreacting. He should have forgotten about me a long time ago. I don''t want to be so worried that my dream parts way with me." Abigail said. After hearing Abigail''s words, Tina nodded. "Abi, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. Besides, you are right. Liam has been through too many women and has not had much contact with you before. How can he recognize you? Even if he does, you are divorced, what can he do?" Tina said. "That''s right. That''s what I think." Abigail said. After hearing Tina''s words, she was even more determined in her original thought. It was better to go with the stream than worrying her life''s away. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Thinking of this, she took another deep breath and felt relieved of the burden in her heart. "I''m with you, Abi." Tina''s voice sounded particrly loyal. "Okay, I got it!" Abigail answered and hung up. The burden in her heart was finally relieved. In that case, it was better to work hard. Anyway, she was divorced and he didn''t remember. Why should she keep thinking about it and worrying about it? Maybe, as long as she didn''t say it, it would never be known. Thinking about it this way, Abigail felt much more rxed. So she turned around and went back to work. In the afternoon, Abigail bought snacks and drinks as she promised and invited everyone to eat and drink. Looking at her colleagues in the Design Department, Abigail smiled and said, "This is a little token of my appreciation for being a part of thepany. I hope we will get well along." She didn''t mention the contract. One of the rules of the workce was that it was taboo to mention such a thing because it might be considered a show-off by others. So Abigail didn''t say anything. She admitted to herself that her action was beyond criticism. She had gained a lot of people''s favor. After all, Abigail''s capability was not to be underestimated. Those who came back from abroad had merely traveled around at most or had had certain conversations with locals. There were even some who had never been abroad. So, in the afternoon, the Design Department was very lively. While everyone was eating and drinking, Jane leaned over to Abigail and said, "Abigail, how did you do it? You didn''t get taken advantage of by that Mr. Green, did you?" Jane said worriedly. Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail smiled and shook her head. "Of course not!" "It''s amazing. How did you do that?" Jane was curious about the process. So, Abigail simply exined the situation. Of course, she did not mention that Liam had been there. This matter could be ignored. After hearing this, Jane admired Abigail even more. "You''re so clever. You could think of that kind of method at that time. If it were me, I would have run away in fear." Listening to Jane, Abigail smiled. "When I was there, I overheard that Mr. Green was afraid of his wife, and I recalled that at that time. Otherwise, the situation would be the same: I would be scared away." Knowing that Abigail was being deliberately modest, Janeughed. "Then, won''t that Mr. Green take revenge on you!" Jane suddenly asked. Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Hearing this, Abigail was a little stunned. In fact, she didn''t think that much at the time. She just wanted to sign the contract quickly to make Liam let Tina go and leave. She didn''t consider the consequences at all. At this moment, Abigail remembered the scene of hiding with Liam while Mr. Green was irritable outside. Would he? Abigail didn''t know. "I hear that Mr. Green is always cruel and mean. So since you''ve done this, will he take revenge on you?" Jane asked. Abigail shook her head. "I don''t know. I didn''t think about it." "This is just what I hear. Abigail, you have to be careful." Jane said. Abigail nodded and smiled. "Okay, I got it." Jane then returned to do her job. She had to admit that what Jane said made sense, but she hoped it would not be true. ''Although Mr. Green looks a little lecherous, he would not be that narrow-minded.'' ''Forget it. There is always a solution to a problem. So just move on.'' Thinking of this, Abigail threw herself into her work. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Abigail received a call just as she was about to get off work. "Hello..." "Abigail, it''s me." Hearing the sound of the other side, Abigail was startled which packing her things. "Brother!" "Exactly," Jacob said. Abigail was still a little surprised to hear her brother''s call. "Abigail, are you back?"Jacob asked directly. "How do you know?" "It seems you are really back. Why don''t you go home?" Jacob asked sternly. "I..." "Where are you now? I''lle to you right away!" Jacob said. "I''m going to get off work now!" "I''ll pick you up. Where do you work?" Jacob asked. How could Abigail let him know that she was here? "No, I''ll see you at the old ce," Abigail said. "Okay." "By the way, don''t tell Dad and Mom!" Abigail said. Hearing this, Jacob paused for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I got it." After hanging up the phone, Abigail quickly packed up and left. They met at the same ce. When Abigail got there, Jacob had already arrived. He was sitting inside in a suit. "Brother!" Abigail called out softly when she reached Jacob. Jacob stared at the person in front of him in disbelief. Abigail smiled and sat opposite him. "What? Even my brother couldn''t recognize me anymore?" Jacob was sure that he didn''t see the wrong person only after hearing Abigail''s voice. "Abigail, you''ve changed a lot!" "How?" Abigail looked at Jacob and said with a smile. The smile, which was a little cute in its yfulness, stunned Jacob. "You are more beautiful!" Jacob said truthfully. When hearing his words, Abigail smiled. Just then, the waiter came over. "Would you like to order something, please?" "One cup of Mocha and one cup of Blue Mountain!" Before Abigail could say anything, Jacob had already helped her to order. Abigail smiled. "You still remember what coffee I like to drink, brother!" "Of course, I remember everything you like!" Chapter 37 Chapter 37 After hearing Jacob''s words, Abigail smiled and asked, "By the way, are Dad and Mom okay?" "They are fine," Jacob said, and then looked at Abigail. "Since you''vee back, why don''t you go This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. home?" Hearing that he mentioned this, Abigail was silent for a moment. "Are you still angry about what happened back then?" Jacob looked at her and asked. Abigail looked up at him and shook her head. "No, I have my reasons. I don''t want to go back yet." Abigail was stubborn. And once she had made a decision, one could not persuade her. How could Jacob not know? They grew up together. So, he didn''t want to force her. At this moment, Abigail looked at him. "By the way, how''s thepany?" "Well, everything is fine both at home and in thepany." "Liam didn''t make things difficult for thepany?" Abigail asked. Jacob nodded. "No." Abigail breathed a sigh of relief. She didn''t expect Liam to keep his promise. "Abigail,e back with me. Mom and Dad will be very happy to know you''re back!" Jacob said. "Brother, there''s a reason why I''m not going back. It''s not a good time now." Abigail insisted. Jacob was afraid of hurting her feelings if he kept talking about this. "Well then, I won''t force you." "Then you have to keep it a secret from Mom and Dad!" Abigail said. Looking at Abigail, Jacob could only nod. "I see!" "Brother, believe me, I did this for the good of our family!" Abigail looked at Jacob and said. Looking at Abigail''s serious face, Jacob could only nod. "Okay, I know, but you should tell me if something happens to you. You can''t hide it from me." Jacob said. Listening to Jacob, Abigail smiled and nodded. "Okay!" Seeing Abigail agree, Jacob rxed a little. At this time, two cups of coffee were served. After the waiter left, Abigail stirred the coffee and asked casually, "Where do you work now?" Speaking of this, Abigail froze, knowing that it could not be hidden for long. She thought about it and said, "At the Powerline Group!" Hearing this, Jacob suddenly looked up at her. "Isn''t that Liam''spany?" "Yes!" Abigail nodded. "Are you with him again!" Jacob asked unhappily. Abigail shook her head and said, "No, he didn''t recognize me. He didn''t know it was me." "What do you mean?" Jacob asked. "In his memory, there was no me. He didn''t care about me, his ex-wife, at all. So, brother, you don''t have to worry." Abigail said. Hearing this, Jacob was stunned and looked at Abigail in disbelief. That was right, the current Abigail was totally different from the Abigail who married Liam before. However, since Liam even did not recognize her, he could imagine how difficult Abigail had been in the Jones Family before. "He really doesn''t remember you at all!" Jacob asked worriedly. Abigail nodded. "I just identally came to hispany. He really doesn''t remember me. Don''t worry!" Abigail said. Hearing this, Jacob nodded and slightly frowned, thinking about something else... Chapter 38 Chapter 38 ''Did Liam not recognize her at all?'' ''Why do I feel so uneasy?'' They divorced two years ago, which was a good start. Now, he would never let Abigail be with Liam again. Absolutely not! Even if he went bankrupt, he would not hesitate to do so! Looking at Jacob who kept silent, Abigail looked at him. "Brother, what are you thinking?" Jacob returned to his senses and looked at Abigail with a smile. "It''s all right. I was thinking of what I should treat you to. What do you want to eat? My treat." Jacob said gently. Speaking of this, Abigail was not polite. After thinking about it, she said, "I heard that a new sushi restaurant is opened recently. The food is said to be delicious. I want to try it." "Okay, let''s go!" With that, Jacob didn''t hesitate to pick up his coat and was about to leave. Abigail also got up. They two walked out. They hadn''t seen each other for a long time, but they didn''t feel distant. Instead, they had some inexplicable intimacy. However, there was a kind of fate in the world, called "there is no story without coincidences." Liam had just brought Olive here when he saw Abigail and Jacobing out of the cafe. The way they talked andughed made people envious. Olive was talking to Liam when she saw them. Most importantly, Olive saw Abigail who was a thorn in her heart. Olive looked at the man next to Abigail. "That''s Jacob, the president of the Swift Group. How did they get together? Are they couples?" Olive said that on purpose, to Liam. Because she always felt that the way Liam looked at Abigail was very different. It made her inexplicably uneasy. How could she not give a good "reminder" to him when such a scene happened? In fact, Liam could see it clearly without her saying. ''Didn''t Abigail juste back? She got a boyfriend so soon?'' ''And it is Jacob!'' Thinking about it, Liam smiled coldly in his heart, his eyes fixed on the two people outside. Abigail, outside the cafe, was smiling like a flower, and her tiny body was walking side by side with Jacob. They looked sopatible. "Why do you suddenly want to eat sushi?" Jacob asked. "I heard from my colleagues that it is delicious, so I want to have a try!" "Okay." With that, Jacob picked up his phone and said, "Hey, is that the sushi restaurant? Please make a reservation for me. I''ll be right there..." With that, Jacob opened the door for Abigail thoughtfully. Abigail smiled and got into the car. Jacob also hung up his phone, went around, opened the door and got in, then drove the car away. Liam and Olive were sitting in the car, watching the scene. After watching it, Olive smiled. "It seems that their rtionship is not ordinary!" "I didn''t expect Abigail to be quite capable. She just came back and date with the president of the Swift Group." Just in several sentences, she belittled Abigail. Liam sat there with his hand on the steering wheel and a sneer on his lips. "Dating with Jacob isn''t her ability, but dating with me is."Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Hearing this, Olive froze and turned to look at Liam. "Liam, you..." Looking at Olive''s nervous face, Liam smiled evilly. "What''s wrong? Are you nervous?" "You''re joking, aren''t you?" Olive looked at him. Yes, she was nervous, very nervous. Originally, Abigail''s appearance made her feel very ufortable. Now, Liam''s words rang a bell in her heart, making her afraid. Looking at Olive''s expression, Liam smiled. "Of course, of course, it''s a joke!" Although Liam said so, Olive didn''t feel that he was not joking... When Olive wanted to say something else, Liam interrupted, "How about it? Let''s try the sushi too. It''s a new restaurant. I heard it''s good..." Olive sat in the passenger seat and looked at Liam. A fear arose in her heart. She was about to lose Liam... Before she could answer, Liam had already driven away... After arriving at the sushi restaurant, Abigail and Jacob walked in. Because they had already made a reservation in advance, they directly walked inside. "By the way, brother, how did you know I was back?" Abigail asked. Jacob was stunned. "Why did you suddenly ask this? Don''t you want me to know?" "No, I am just curious. How did you know..." As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Jacob. "Tina said that!" The three of them grew up together, and Tina was the only one who knew about her return, and she knew that Tina also had a good rtionship with Jacob. After Abigail finished speaking, Jacob did not say anything more, which meant he admitted it. In fact, Jacob could have totally denied it. He could have fooled her with any excuse, but he didn''t want to lie to Abigail. In this world, the only person he didn''t want to lie to was Abigail. "I knew that," Abigail said. "Don''t me her. It was me who called her, and she let it slip." Jacob said. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Abigail smiled. "Come on, I won''t. Why are you so worried?" "I''m not!" "Obviously." Abigail smiled and looked at Jacob. "Brother, to be honest, Tina is very nice. If she bes my sister-inw, I will be very happy." Seeing that bright face in front of him, Jacob was in a daze for a moment and then he looked away. "I treat you the same way I treat Tina. She is just like my sister." "Fine." Abigail did not force it. When it came to love, no one could stop it. At this point, Abigail thought out well. However, in her opinion, Tina and her brother really matched each other. However, the matters of love should be slowly nurtured by themselves. "Well, don''t think too much," Jacob said. Abigail smiled. "Got it!" "Mr. Swift!" While they were chatting andughing, a cold and maic voice sounded behind. Abigail could not help feeling a chill behind her when she heard this voice. She looked up and it turned out to be Liam. Jacob was sitting directly opposite Liam and was also stunned when he saw Liam. Chapter 40 Chapter 40 ''Why is he here?'' At this time, he inadvertently nced at Abigail, and after thinking of her words, he also stood up pretending to be calm. "Mr. Jones, why are you here?" "I''m here to have a meal, of course!" Liam looked into Abigail''s eyes. "Miss Swift is here too. What a coincidence!" ''Coincidence?'' ''Is it really a coincidence?'' Olive looked at Liam from behind and was stunned when she heard him. ''He had changed!'' ''Ever since this Abigail appeared, he had changed!'' After hearing Liam''s words, Abigail also stood up. When she saw him, she forced out a smile on her face. "Mr. Jones, what a coincidence." ''He is everywhere.'' Abigail sighed in her heart. ''Does Liam like sushi too? Or does Olive like it?'' Abigail just smiled lightly and didn''t say much, just keeping her thoughts to herself. At this moment, Liam looked at Jacob. "I didn''t expect you two to know each other!" Jacob smiled. "I didn''t expect to meet Mr. Jones here either!" Seeing them chatting with each other, Olive couldn''t help but say, "President Swift, are you and Miss Swift dating? You look verypatible." When Olive said this, all of them were stunned. Liam didn''t mean to stop her, because he was also curious about their rtionship. Abigail looked at Olive and thought that there was always hostility in her eyes every time Olive saw her. Just as she was about to say something, Jacob reached out and grabbed Abigail, pulled her to his side, and smiled. "Really? Thanks to Miss Miller''s words!" Abigail stood there, not knowing what Jacob was thinking, but Jacob''s words clearly made Olive and Liam mistake them for being a couple. In that case, she did not tell the truth and just stood there and smiled. Hearing Jacob''s words, Olive breathed a sigh of relief. However, Liam''s expression was not very good. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Olive put her hand on Liam''s arm. "Okay, let''s not disturb them. I''m so hungry. Let''s eat something." Olive said coquettishly. At this moment, Liam looked at Olive by the side and finally had to agree. "Okay." "Then we won''t disturb you." With that, Olive looked at Abigail, with a provocative meaning fleeting in her eyes, and then she held Liam''s arm to leave. At this moment, Liam suddenly remembered something and looked back at Jacob. "By the way, President Swift, I don''t know how your sister is." No one expected that Liam would suddenly ask such a question. Abigail stood there, stunned. What was the trick Liam going to y? But she didn''t dare to show her nervousness so she just looked at Liam. Liam''s eyes swept over her as if nothing had happened. Jacob was calm, standing there, with his lips curling up. "Thank you for asking. She''s doing well now." Looking at Jacob''s nervous face, Liam raised his eyebrowszily. "That''s good. I won''t disturb you, brother-inw..." With that, Liam turned to leave. Chapter 41 Chapter 41 This time, it was Olive who was stunned! Brother-inw! Could it be that the woman Liam used to marry was Jacob''s... sister? By the time she regained her senses, Liam had already gone ahead and she quickly followed him. She was absent-minded when eating. Liam didn''t like sushi. He preferred western food. But today, after eating sushi, he didn''t say a word. Olive looked at Liam for a long time before she came to her senses. "Liam, your ex-wife, is Jacob''s sister!" Hearing Olive''s question, Liam looked up at her. "Yes, what''s wrong?" Looking at Liam''s nonchnt face, as if she was paranoid, she said, "No. I''m just being curious. I didn''t expect such a coincidence!" Speaking of this, Liam''s lips curled into a sneer, and at this moment, he recalled the first time he saw that disgusting woman. She was dressed in ck overalls, her hair was tied up. Her face was expressionless, and she looked like a typical old-fashioned virgin. What made him even more bored was that when she saw him, she either didn''t look at him or lowered her head and said nothing. After seeing her once, he never wanted to see her again. Even if he did, he would not look at her again. Strangely enough, after all these years, some things should have been forgotten, but her image was still lingering in his mind. Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed. "Don''t mention thatme woman," Liam said unhappily. If it hadn''t been to provoke Jacob, he would have forgotten that he had an "ex-wife." Olive has long known that Liam''s impression on his ex-wife who didn''t know how to please a man. Even after they had been married for two years, Liam didn''t sleep with her. Olive was relieved to think of this. The woman who annoyed her now was Abigail. Thinking of this, Olive looked at Liam. "Well, Liam, you asked Abigail to sign a contract with Mr. Green, how is it going?" Speaking of this, Liam nced up at her. "Don''t you know?" His words made Olive''s heart skip a beat. "Liam, what do you mean?" Olive smiled awkwardly. ''Does he know that I had arranged for someone in hispany?'' N?velDrama.Org owns this. ''Or does Abigail say something to him?'' This must be the case. Thinking of this, Olive hated Abigail even more. "I didn''t mean anything. The contract is signed, and now this case is hers." Liam saidzily. ''Signed?'' Hearing this, Olive frowned. After all these years, there were not that many women who can sign a contract with Mr. Green. Abigail actually seeded? So did that mean Abigail was untouchable? Hearing this, Olive felt unhappy. She didn''t expect that not only couldn''t embarrass Abigail, but the case was Abigail''s. Olive looked even worse. Sometimes, there was no reason for someone to hate another one. With just one look, one could tell who was the greatest enemy. However, unfortunately, Abigail didn''t treat Olive as a strong enemy at all. She was really not interested in thepetition to pursue a man. She could not help but stay away from him as far as she could. Chapter 42 Chapter 42 But Olive didn''t think so. It was Abigail who stirred Liam''s emotions and made her feel uneasy. Thinking of this, Olive made a decision secretly. And Abigail and Jacob were over there. It was not until Liam and Olive went to the side that they rxed a little. "Jacob, Liam will misunderstand!" Abigail said, looking at Jacob. Hearing Abigail''s words, Jacob looked at him. "You''re afraid he''ll misunderstand!" "No... I just don''t think Liam has his reasons for doing everything." Abigail said that Liam was much more mysterious now than before, and he was no longer as arrogant and capricious as he used to be. "I said that to protect you," Jacob said firmly. Hearing this, Abigail blinked. "What do you mean!" she asked. "Nothing." Jacob ended the conversation and looked at Abigail. "Anyway, Abigail, as your brother, I will protect you in the future. The thing that happened two years ago won''t happen again." Jacob looked at her and said word by word. In any case, she was very happy and contented to have the protection and care of families. Abigail nodded with a smile and said nothing more. Two years of living abroad made her very independent. Even if she had any thoughts, she would only keep them to herself. At this moment, Jacob said, looking at Abigail, "Abigail, listen to me. Quit your job. Come to our Moreover, Abigail was nowpletely different from before. He could feel that Liam looked at her differently. "But I have a job to do, I can''t just quit!" Abigail said. "But if Liam finds out, he won''t let you go!" Jacob said worriedly. Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "I divorced him. That''s the truth. Even if he knew, what could he do?" Hearing Abigail''s words, Jacob was speechless. If only things were that simple. If it weren''t for the way Liam looked at Abigail, he wouldn''t have been so worried. Now, from a man''s point of view, he could tell that Liam was into Abigail. Besides, Olive was not a pushover. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Abigail, who was so kind, was no match for them. However, Abigail had a mind of her own since she was a child. He couldn''t force her to do anything, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, call me if you need me." "Sure!" Abigail nodded. "Jacob, don''t worry. When my work is done, I will definitely go back." Abigail said. "Okay." Jacob nodded. Thus they didn''t talk about it anymore. After all, they were not free to talk with Liam around. While eating, Abigail really enjoyed it and she was rxed to talk about family matters. At this moment, Jacob saw some food on the corners of her mouth. With a smile, he reached out his hand. "You''re a grown-up. Don''t be such a child while eating!" As he spoke, he reached out and helped Abigail remove the thing from the corner of her mouth. Abigail smiled and continued eating. This movement, in a certain direction, was very intimate. Although what they said could not be heard clearly, they looked so intimate that someone who was watching them was about to be furious. Chapter 43 Chapter 43 After the meal with Jacob, they were about to leave. At that moment, Jacob walked over to Liam and Olive. "Mr. Jones, enjoy yourself. We will leave now!" Jacob said. Liam sat there. Even if he just sat there, born with an imposing manner, he attracted much attention. "Okay." Liam did not get up but blinked to reply. At this moment, Olive turned around and looked at them. "Mr. Swift, are you going to drive Miss Swift home?" When she mentioned this, Jacob looked back at Abigail and nodded. "Yes." Olive curled up her lips after he replied and a hint of ambiguity crossed her eyes. "Then I''ll get out of your way. Get home safe." "Thank you," Jacob said gentlemanly and then looked at Abigail. "Let''s go!" Abigail nodded and was about to leave. "By the way, Miss Swift." At this moment, Liam spoke casually. When she heard this, Abigail stopped. "What''s the matter, Mr. Jones?" "About the contract with the Ratio Group, I want to see your detailed proposal tomorrow morning." "Tomorrow!" Abigail frowned. "Yes." Why did Abigail feel that he did it on purpose? He wanted to have a goodugh at her by asking her to make a detailed proposal overnight. But what could she say? "I''ll do my best!" "I don''t want a "best" promise. It is a must." Liam said word by word. Abigail replied, "Okay, I got it." She gritted her teeth and agreed. Liam said nothing more. Abigail then turned to leave. Jacob nced at Liam for a second and followed her out. He understood very clearly what Liam meant just now. However, he did not care about this. The most unpleasant now was probably Olive. After they went out, Olive looked at Liam and she felt that he seemed to do it on purpose. ''Am I thinking too much?'' After Jacob drove Abigail back, Abigail looked at him. "Brother, it''ste. You may go back." Jacob sat in the car with a smile. "Okay, I''ll meet you next time. Have a good rest." "OK." Abigail nodded and walked out of the car. "Good night," Jacob said. Abigail simply waved her hand and went upstairs.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. When Abigail''s back disappeared from his sight, Jacob then drove away. As soon as Abigail got home and changed her shoes, the phone rang. When she saw the number, Abigail then pressed the answer button. "Abi, I''m sorry..." As soon as the call was connected, Tina''s wailing came from the other end of the line. Abigail smiled but tried to hold back. "Why do you apologize to me?" "Your brother called me today. I identally slipped out and told him that you were back. I really didn''t mean to." Tina hurriedly exined, with a coquettish tone. "You know I went out with my brother, so you call me as soon as I get home," Abigail said and then lounged on the sofa. "Sure enough, I can keep nothing secret from you," Tina admitted. "I know you very much." "I really didn''t mean to do it..." "Well, for the sake of your apology, I forgive you." "I knew you wouldn''t me me." "Can you not joke around for 2 seconds? But you should invite me to dinner for an apology." "Yes, my treat," Tina said expansively. When she heard this, Abigail smiled. "Okay, we''re done talking here. I still have work to do. Bye." Chapter 44 Chapter 44 "Why are you working sote?" "The contract was signed, and the implementation fell on me. Liam asked me to hand in the design book early tomorrow morning!" Abigail sat cross-legged on the carpet and opened the contract. "Damn, he definitely did it on purpose," Tina said over there. "How do you know?" Tina, "..." "What a bastard!" "I agree!" Tina, "..." After bemoaning Liam, Tina said, "I''m sorry, Abi. I''m the one who got you into trouble." Tina said over the phone. If it weren''t for Abigail, she would have gone to court. Although Liam was deliberately framing her, Abigail was also implicated by her. "Come on, T. It''s nothing. Treat me to dinner another day. I have to work!" "Hahaha. Okay. I''ll hang up." "Bye." After the phone was thrown on the desk, Abigail looked at the contract in front of her. After a while, she decided to wash up and take off her makeup before checking it. Thinking about it, Abigail got up and walked to the bathroom. Half an hourter, Abigail finished washing up, changed her pajamas, came out, poured a ss of red wine, sat on the carpet, and decided to start working on it. Her hair was casually pinned to the back of her head. And ck-rimmed sses were on her face. She looked very casual andfortable. Such an Abigail was beautiful. She didn''t wear makeup. But she had a beautiful white oval face with long and thick eyshes. And Abigail at work had an unspeakable charm. Her life was very modern and rxing. That was also Abigail''s lifestyle for the past two years. After leaving Liam, her life was getting better and better. Two hours passed as she was working. At this moment, Abigail''s cell phone rang. Usually, at this time, very few people called her except for Tina. She picked up her phone and saw that it was an unknown number. After a moment of hesitation, Abigail answered it. "Hello!" Abigail said. Over the phone, "..." Seeing that there was no sound, Abigail frowned. "Hello, who is it?" "It''s me." When Liam''s voice rang out, Abigail was stunned. She really didn''t want to hear such a devil-like voice. "Why do you have my cell phone number?" This was Abigail''s first reaction. "I''m the boss, so I have my own employee''s cell phone number. Is that weird?" Liam asked. Abigail, "..." That made sense. Abigail wasn''t bothered about this either. "What''s up sote?" "Nothing. I just want to keep myself updated about your work." "I''m doing it now, okay?" "Yourself!" "Of course." Abigail almost blurted out, then asked, "Why?" Hearing this, Liam froze for a moment, feeling much better. "Nothing, then you can continue to do it. If you can''t finish it, do it tomorrow." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Don''t you want to see it tomorrow morning?" Abigail asked with a frown. "I got a call from the Ratio Group just now. It could be dyed for a few days, so you still have time." Liam said. Abigail, "..." Should she be grateful? She always had a feeling that Liam was deliberately against her. Chapter 45 Chapter 45 But since Liam had said so, Abigail just stopped her work. She closed the file and went to bed. Over there, Liam sat in the car. After hanging up the phone, he raised a smile. After they left, Liam sent Olive back. Although she hinted a couple of times that she wanted to be with him tonight, Liam still refused. There was only one question in his mind. ''What is the rtionship between Abigail and Jacob?'' ''Are they lovers?'' Jacob looked at Abigail in a way that was different from the way he looked at others. With that in mind, Liam was a little displeased. Abigail really didn''t know how to find a good man. The next day. When Abigail had just arrived at thepany, Liam called her toe into his office. When Abigail arrived at his office, she knocked on the door. "Mr. Green, are you looking for me?" "Come in." Hearing Abigail''s voice, Liam called her in. Abigail could only walk in. "What can I do for you?" "How''s the work going?" Abigail was speechless. She said, "Didn''t Mr. Green call yesterday and say that you weren''t in a hurry?"This is from N?velDrama.Org. "Well, no rush. Have you filled out the form?" Liam asked. ''Form!'' Abigail suddenly remembered that she was going to participate in that Insight Design Competition. "I, I haven''t filled it out yet." Liam looked up at her helplessly and then at his watch. "You still have half an hour. After half an hour, your qualification will be invalid." "I''ll fill it out right away!" Abigail said immediately. Staying at the Powerline Group was for thatpetition. If she missed it, what was the point of staying here? Liam nodded. Abigail thought he was going to purposely make difficulties for her and she was surprised to find that he didn''t. But she thought that no matter what, she should go fill out the form first. It took only a few minutes to finish it. There was only one column where she didn''t fill out and hesitated for ten minutes. Marital status. Abigail was divorced now. Should she fill it out like this? Why was she afraid that Liam would know? Abigail hesitated. I''m just going to participate in a designpetition, not a blind date. Why should I answer so many questions?'' Abigail was going crazy. Seeing that time was running out, Abigail couldn''t care that much. Afterpleting the form, she walked to Liam''s office. "Mr. Jones, I finished," Abigail said and handed it over. Abigail was still a little nervous. Just as Liam was about to flip through it, Abigail felt her heart almost jump to her throat. Just then, someone knocked on the door and the secretary pushed the door and came in. "Mr. Jones, the representatives from Insight Design Competition have arrived!" Liam looked up. "Okay, I know. You let them go to the VIP room first. I''ll be right there." "Okay." "Right, give this to them." With that, Liam handed the form that Abigail had filled out to the secretary. The secretary took it, nodded, and went out. Abigail suddenly felt that she became rxed. What a false rm. She really thought she was torturing herself. She just stayed here and scared herself all day long. "Mr. Jones, if there''s nothing I can do for you, I''ll go out first!" "Wait," Liam said suddenly. "Is there anything else?" "Come with me to see them." "What?" Abigail was stunned. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 "As the representative designer of the Powerline Group who is going to participate in the Insight Design Competition, shouldn''t you go with me?" Liam raised an eyebrow and asked her a question in return. What else could she say? Abigail nodded. "Okay." Although she agreed, she still felt uneasy. Liam almost found out who she was. If she didn''t have a guilty conscience, she wouldn''t have to be so scared, Just because she knew everything and Liam knew nothing, she was worried about every single detail. And afraid something would arouse suspicion from Liam. She had a resume at the Powerline Group that said she was not married, but she estimated that Liam didn''t see it. It was in the HR department. "What are you thinking?" Liam looked at her and asked. Abigail suddenly regained her senses, shaking her head. "Nothing." "Let''s go," Liam said. So Abigail nodded and followed him out. In the VIP room. Liam walked in, followed by Abigail. "Dennis, I''m sorry to keep you waiting." As soon as Liam walked in, he said with a smile. "It doesn''t matter. I''m lucky to have Mr. Jones'' coffee here." Liam smiled, then looked at Dennis. "This is the designer who is going to participate in thepetition. I''ve told you about her." "Dennis is in charge of the Insight Design Competition held in Italy." Liam gave a brief introduction. Hearing this, Abigail looked at the man in front of her. He was a foreign man with a sexy beard. Well, he should be considered a mature foreign man. Abigail immediately walked over with a stiff smile. "Dennis, hello, I''m Abigail Swift." Abigail''s smile made others veryfortable. Dennis also reached out to shake her hand. "Miss Swift, you''re very beautiful." "Thank you for thepliment." Abigail showed great confidence. Abigail won a lot of favor from Dennis for she had two years of abroad experience and was independent. Looking at Abigail''s expression, Dennis smiled. "Okay, let''s discuss the schedule and rules of the game," Liam said. Actually, with Liam here, Abigail seemed to feel that she didn''t have to worry too much even though she herself didn''t know why. And they sat there and discussed the matters needing attention during thepetition, as well as the rules. Half an hourter, the discussion was over. Dennis''s appreciation of Abigail rose even higher. "I didn''t expect Miss Swift to have so many ideas though you''re still so young." Abigail smiled. "Since I work for my living, I have to have many ideas." Abigail''s words were very sincere, making Dennis feel that she was not that kind of hypocritical woman. Dennis was very happy. Liam watched from the side and could tell that Dennis liked Abigail a lot. If that was the case, it would be good for Abigail during thepetition. "Miss Swift, your resume says that you were divorced. I wouldn''t believe that Miss Swift had had a marriage if I didn''t see it." Dennis looked at Abigail and said. N?velDrama.Org owns this. In an instant, Abigail was stunned. Liam, who was listening to their talk, was also stunned. ''Divorced?'' ''Abigail had divorced?'' He turned his head to look at Abigail in disbelief, his eyes full of doubts. Dennis''s words made Abigail nervous because she could feel the sharp eyes behind her... Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Abigail smiled. "This experience is not good!" "It''s the man that didn''t have that luck to have you. If it were me, I would definitely not let you go." Dennis said with a smile. "Thank you." Abigail shyly replied, but she felt chilly behind her. "Always consider yourself as the best," Dennis said. Abigail nodded. "Yes, I got it!" "Well, let''s call it a day. We''ll see youter." Dennis said. No matter how shocked Liam was, he still had to get up and send Dennis off. "Well, I look forward to your performance then," Dennis said. "Trust her." Liam nodded and smiled. It was just that his smile. Why did it look a little weird? "Bette, send Dennis off." The secretary nodded and walked out with Dennis and his team. At this moment, only Abigail and Liam were left in the conference room. "Mr. Jones, if there''s nothing else, I''m going back." With that, Abigail left without looking at him. But the next second, she didn''t know what was going on, only felt a force pull her back. She was pressed directly onto the conference desk, her hands on top of it, and her entire body was leaning against the desk. And Liam rushed to her. "You..." Abigail looked at him a little unexpectedly. "You were divorced?" Liam looked at her and asked. Abigail''s heart was pounding wildly, but she still pretended to be calm. "So what, Mr. Jones? A divorced woman is not qualified to participate in thepetition?" Abigail looked at him and asked. "Shut up, who is that man?" Liam looked at her and asked. Just the thought of this woman sleeping with another man... He couldn''t control himself. Looking at Liam, Abigail frowned. "This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Jones." "It''s Jacob?" "No." Abigail denied. How could it be Jacob? It looked like Liam really misunderstood. "Who is he?" "That''s my own business," Abigail said word by word. Her head was nk. She didn''t expect that Liam knew that eventually. She wasn''t even prepared. Liam''s eyes fixed on her. Abigail looked at him back and asked. "Mr. Jones, are you in love with me?" "What?" Liam was stunned at this and then sneered. "Do you think it''s possible? How could I fall in love with a divorced woman?" This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. That was what infuriated Abigail. "What''s wrong with being divorced? Mr. Jones, don''t forget that you''re a divorced person too, just like me." Abigail looked at him and said word by word. Hearing Abigail''s words, Liam suddenly turned his head. "How do you know?" Abigail, "..." Looking into Liam''s eyes, she panicked and tried to calm herself down. "The wholepany knows. I''m not the only one." Abigail looked at him and said. Hearing this exnation, Liam thought about it and believed it. Indeed, most people in thepany knew that. But, looking at Abigail, he was very unhappy. "So, Mr. Jones, don''t act like that. Even if you''re a man, you''re still a divorced man. You don''t have the right to dislike me." After that, Abigail didn''t want to say anything to him, so she pushed him away and walked out. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Liam frowned unhappily as he stood behind and watched Abigail strut out. Although it was the truth, he was still rather irritated. Irritated indeed. When Abigail walked out of the conference room, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If she hadn''t said that, Liam would have continued to ask. The thing was that Liam didn''t know he was her ex-husband. But it might be better if he knew, then she didn''t need to be so worried. At this point, Liam still didn''t remember. It seemed that he had really forgotten her. Thinking of this, Abigail felt a little ufortable. It didn''t feel so good, being forgotten. However, she felt more rxed, which was best for her. Therefore, in the next two days, Abigail and Liam never met again. Abigail devoted herself to her work, preparing for thepetition while working on Dennis'' proposal, rather fulfilling. She felt easier and more delighted when she didn''t need to face Liam. One day. At the Swift Group, Jacob''s office. "Mr. Swift, you have a visitor." The secretary looked at him and said. "Who!" "Miss Olive Miller." The secretary said. Hearing this, Jacob frowned and looked at the secretary. "Let her in." The secretary nodded and walked out. Jacob was still wondering what Olive was doing here. They really didn''t know each other very well. Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open and Olive came in. She was wearing a ck and white dress, three-inch heels, a Chanel bag in her hand, and her hair was flowing down her back,pletely an air of a noble youngdy. In fact, Olive was quite good-looking. After all, she came from a big family, which guaranteed her good look and temperament. "Mr. Swift." When Olive saw Jacob, she smiled. Olive was a woman who knew her way around. No matter who she was facing, she could always behave properly. "Miss Miller, what brought you here?" As he spoke, Jacob pressed the inside line. "Mary, bring in two coffee." "Yes, Mr. Swift." After that, Jacob hung up the phone and looked at Olive. "Miss Miller, please have a seat." Olive made herself at home. She sat there with her legs crossed, full of pride and elegancy. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "I wonder what Miss Miller wants from me." Jacob looked at Olive and said. His intuition told him that she was definitely not just stopping by. "Why? Am I not weed here!" "If so, the secretary wouldn''t tell you I''m avable, let alone inviting you in," Jacob said. Hearing this, Olive smiled. "Mr. Swift, I can see that yourpany has been doing well in the past two years." Jacob nodded. "If Miss Miller has anything to say, just say it. We are too young for beating around the bush." Hearing what he said, Olive paused. Since he had already said so, she didn''t have to be indirect. "Since Mr. Swift said so, I will go straight to the point. I came to see you because I have a deal for you." Olive said. A deal? Hearing that, Jacob raised an eyebrow. "I''m all ears." He wanted to know what kind of deal she was talking about. Chapter 49 Chapter 49 After thinking about it, Olive got up and walked towards Jacob. "Mr. Swift, since you and Abigail are a couple and you like her so much, why don''t you let her work in yourpany?" As soon as Olive spoke, Jacob understood what she meant. So it was because of Abigail. Jacob sat in his chair and did not move. He just looked at her. "And then what?" "It is said that you can get what you want first if you have ess to it. You let Abigail stay in the Powerline Group. Don''t you worry? You know, there are a lot of men of talent in the Powerline Group, so she is likely to be pursued by others." Olive looked at Jacob and said to him. She deliberately made things worse, but she did not say a word about Liam. Listening to Olive, Jacob sat there with a smile on his face. "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Miller. But I''m not worried." Hearing Jacob''s words, Olive frowned and then smiled, "Mr. Swift, you are really confident." "Is Miss Miller worried for me or for yourself?" At this moment, Jacob suddenly looked at her and asked. Olive didn''t expect him to ask this question all of a sudden. She was stunned and then said, "What do you mean?" "What do I mean? Miss Miller should know." Looking at her, Jacob spoke word by word with a smile. "Since we''re talking about a deal, how can I believe Miss Miller''s ambiguous words?" Jacob said. Speaking of this, Olive clenched her fists. Everyone said that it seemed very easy tomunicate with Jacob. She didn''t think so. Moreover, Jacob seemed to have a calcting mind. Since he was so blunt, Olive didn''t care anymore. As long as she could keep Liam by her side, she would do anything. "I know yourpany and mine are bidding for the same piece ofnd. If you can persuade Abigail to leave the Powerline Group, I will ask my father to give thend to you." Olive looked at Jacob. Hearing this, Jacob raised an eyebrow. Thend she was talking about was exactly what he had always wanted. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. But... "Miss Miller, you still haven''t gotten to the point." Jacob looked at Olive and said. Olive frowned. Wasn''t what she said obvious enough? "Are you worried about Liam?" At this moment, Jacob suddenly said and wore a confident smile. It seemed that Olive''s purpose had long been seen through. Jacob had already guessed her purpose when she walked in and mentioned Abigail''s name. Olive looked at Jacob, not surprised. "Yes, I did it for Liam, so I offered you this deal." This offer was really tempting. Jacob looked at Olive, "How do you know that I can''t take thatnd?" The Swift Group was not the one that was about to fail a few years ago anymore. Now it was on par with the Miller Group. "What Mr. Swift meant was that you disagreed with the deal?" Olive looked at him and asked. "Yes, now with your ability, you may get that piece ofnd. But if the Swift Group also wants it, then I don''t know who will get it." Olive said. "Besides, the person who owns thatnd is a close friend to my father..." With that said, Olive looked at Jacob. Thest sentence was Olive''s trump card. Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Jacob sat there, still showing no interest. "I don''t want to do anything to Abigail. I just want her to leave the Powerline Group. That''s good for you and me, isn''t it?" It was worth the sacrifice Olive made for Liam. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Everyone had to admit that the proposal was impressive. Jacob had always wanted that piece ofnd. However, a few years ago, Abigail had already married Liam for the interest of the Swift Group. Could he make a deal with Olive today at the expense of Abigail again? Jacob sat there, thinking. Olive was standing right in front of him, looked at him, and raised a smile. "Mr. Swift, have you made your decision? You won''t suffer losses in this deal." Olive continued. At this moment, Jacob returned to his senses and looked at Olive. "Miss Miller, you''re right. I won''t suffer any losses in this deal and I also want Abigail to leave the Powerline Group, but I mentioned that to her before and she refused, so I respect her choice." "As for thend you are talking about, I will try my best for it. If I can''t get it, then it means it shouldn''t be mine no matter what." Jacob looked at Olive and said gravely. Hearing Jacob''s words, Olive frowned. "She refused?" Jacob lowered his eyes. "The Powerline Group''s business is the same with her specialty. She should stay there. I respect her choice." "Aren''t you afraid that she will like someone else?" Olive asked. Jacob was really stunned for a moment. Would Abigail really fall for Liam? If she would, she would have liked him two years ago. They were divorced... But anything was possible in this world. Before, Liam ignored Abigail, but now, his eyes were focused on Abigail... Jacob hesitated. Moreover and more importantly, Abigail was very stubborn. It was not like he could talk her out of it as he liked. At this moment, Jacob looked at Olive. "Miss Miller, although I really want that piece ofnd, I respect Abigail''s decision more. Besides, I believe Abigail doesn''t and will not like Liam." Jacob said word by word. Jacob''s words obviously meant he rejected her deal. "You''re really not worried at all!" "What''s the use of worrying? I trust Abigail." Jacob said seriously. Hearing this, Olive suddenly sneered. "Looks like Mr. Swift is very confident." Jacob closed his eyes and smiled. "Well, I''ll wait to see when you stop being so confident." As she spoke, Olive stood up and picked up her purse. "In that case, we don''t have to talk anymore. Mr. Swift, excuse me. I have something to do. I''ll go now." With that, Olive left. "Miss Miller, you are wee anytime for a coffee. Mary, escort Miss Miller out!" Jacob said as he sat there. He didn''t look like he intended to get up at all. Jacob watched Olive walking out and his face slowly turned gloomy... Thinking about what she just said, Jacob wondered whether Abigail and Liam''s lives would really be entangled again? Chapter 51 Chapter 51 On the other side. There were some things and some people that Abigail couldn''t avoid. There was an exhibition about the newpetition, and all the participants had to go to visit it. So Liam and Abigail had to go together. Since that day, the two of them had not met each other alone. Now, in the car, the atmosphere was somewhat strange. Abigail wanted to take a taxi to go there, but when she saw Liam''s poker face, she swallowed all her words. As long as she didn''t need to talk to him, Abigail could do anything. Therefore, Abigail deliberately sat in the back seat, keeping her distance from Liam. Liam, sitting in the front seat, was like a driver... However, Abigail didn''t care about all of this. Whatever she could avoid doing with him, she would avoid. Liam pursed his lips, driving and keeping silent. On the other hand, Abigail sat in the back and looked out of the window, not revealing what she was thinking. And finding her being so quietly, Liam looked at her through the rearview mirror... At this moment, Abigail returned her eyes and looked ahead, just to meet Liam''s eyes who was looking at her... The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere became extremely strange. Then the two of them looked away at the same time. Abigail''s heartbeat fastened because she was afraid that Liam would suddenly recognize her at some point in time. But Liam was different. He didn''t feel embarrassed, and even if he looked away, he was very calm. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Liam drove the car, and the two of them continued to remain silent. When they reached their destination, they got out of the car. A lot of armed police and security staff were hired for this exposition. Because the jewels disyed here were all genuine ones and each had an extraordinary price, and therefore only a small number of people were invited. But there were also some rich people, officials, and nobles. After Liam and Abigail went in, they saw many people appreciating those jewels. "This is a rare opportunity. Enjoy and observe them and don''t embarrass the Powerline Group." Liam said. After hearing his words, Abigail frowned slightly. Liam''s words were really unpleasant, but since he was her boss, Abigail could only nod. So, she began to observe the designs. It has to be said that every piece of the design was outstanding and extraordinary. However, there were also many works that were just meaningless but with empty and gorgeous appearances. Abigail looked at them without much interest. Then she stopped in front of a piece of work. It was a ne, very simple, with a blue diamond. It was oval, looking really good. Finding Abigail stop, Liam also looked over curiously. When he saw the ne, he was also slightly stunned. "You like this one?" Liam raised his eyebrows. "Don''t you think this design is very special?" "Special how?" "This pendant is like tears..." Abigail said. Hearing Abigail''s description, Liam looked at it and agreed with her words. Especially its blue color, giving people a very special feeling. "Kind of." "I think this design must have a special meaning!" Abigail said with absolute certainty. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 On the other side. There were some things and some people that Abigail couldn''t avoid. There was an exhibition about the newpetition, and all the participants had to go to visit it. So Liam and Abigail had to go together. Since that day, the two of them had not met each other alone.

Especially its blue color, giving people a very special feeling. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Kind of." "I think this design must have a special meaning!" Abigail said with absolute certainty. Chapter 53 Chapter 53 "Liam...What are you doing?" She asked in a trembling voice. Hearing this voice, Abigail and Liam turned around at the same time and saw Olive standing there and looking at them, her eyes filled with sadness as if she had been hurt by what she was seeing. The next second, Abigail quickly got away from Liam. But because she was being so swift, Olive was even more sure that Abigail was doing something wrong. Olive asked herself, ''Were they hugging each other?" Although Olive didn''t say anything, Abigail could clearly see the hostility and anger in her eyes by simply looking at her. ''This life and world are filled with coincidences!'' ''I really didn''t mean it!'' Abigail was very upset. Liam was actually holding her up, and Olive came at this very moment and saw this. No one believed that it was a coincidence. At this moment, Olive walked up a few steps and looked at them. "Liam, you two..." Abigail didn''t say anything. The more she exined, the nastier this situation would be. Liam also looked calm. "Why are you here?" "I''m here to see the jewelry show. Why are you here?" Olive asked. "We''re here to see it too." "You two... together!" Olive looked at them in disbelief. Although she was extremely angry, she could not lose her temper in front of so many people, because that would ruin her reputation. "Yes, she has represented ourpany to participate in thispetition, so we came here to watch it together," Liam said. ''Really?'' ''Is that so?'' Olive didn''t believe it, but it was Liam who exined this. If she refused to let it go, it would destroy her image in Liam''s heart. She could only endure it. She then turned her head to look at Abigail and sneered. "Now I see. But Miss Swift, behave yourself in public." She said sarcastically. Abigail was not angry when she heard it. Instead, she smiled and said, "Miss Miller, you don''t have to satirize me or be hostile to me, because what you cherish may not be considered to be good by others. Even if it is good, it is left by others. I''m not interested." With that, she smiled calmly and looked at Liam. "Mr. Jones, I''ve enjoyed all of the designs. I won''t bother you two. I''ll go first!" After that, Abigail This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. walked away without looking at them once. Her words angered both of them. Olive was angry, but she couldn''t say it. Liam was more fumed and his face turned livid. ''Did that woman say that I am a leftover?'' Inexplicably, Liam was a little angry. What he was really angry about was that he, the man that all women liked, was actually disliked and avoided by her. She said she wasn''t interested in him. Although he thought so, Liam didn''t show it. ''Good, very good, I would talk about it with you at thepany, Abigail.'' At this moment, Olive turned to look at Liam and couldn''t help butin, "What a rude person." Hearing Olive''s words, Liam just nced at her and said nothing. But Olive walked over directly, took his arm, and said coquettishly with some dissatisfaction, "Liam, how did she be the representative designer of yourpany?" Liam was angry, but he tried hard to hold back his anger. He only replied with three words, "She deserves it!" Chapter 54 Chapter 54 From that day on, Abigail deliberately kept a distance from Liam. But the harder she tried to get away from him, the closer Liam came to her since he felt bad. Why did this woman say he was the one who was abandoned? She had said personally that they were of the same kind! So, she had no right to say that! Thinking about it this way, Liam felt better. After the jewelry exhibition, Abigail was going to throw herself into the design. What Dennis said the other day kept haunting her. "Only the design with a story behind would resonate with the viewers." So, her design should have a story behind it! Though thinking about it all day, Abigail didn''t get any idea. She went to make a cup of coffee in the afternoon. Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the number, Abigail smiled and answered the phone, "Hello, Jacob." "What are you doing?" "At work." "I heard that you are now the chief designer of the Powerline Group and going to participate in the Insight Design Competition," Jacob said. "How do you know?!" "Good news travels fast." "It must be Tina!" Abigail said. "Of course not. When I saw you going to the jewelry exhibition with Liam, I knew you were going to participate in thepetition." "Fair." Abigail nodded. "Well, are you free tonight? Let me treat you to dinner as a celebration for you." "Sure, I will go with Tina!" Abigail readily agreed. Jacob on the other end of the phone also smiled, "Okay, as long as you''re happy, you can do anything." "Well, then you call her. I''m still at work. It''s not convenient." "Okay." "Well, see you tonight." "Can''t wait." Hanging up the phone, Abigail walked out and the secretary saw her, "Oh, Miss Swift, you''re here. Mr. Jones is looking for you. He wants you to go to his office." "Oh, okay, thank you." "You''re wee." After that, Abigail turned to Liam''s office and said, After knocking on the door, Abigail walked in, "Mr. Jones, what''s the matter?" When he saw her, Liam looked up. "Well, do you have any ideas about your design?" "Not yet." Abigail was honest. If it were any other designer, he or she wouldn''t dare say that. But Abigail had been abroad for a long time, and she had developed such a direct manner. "If you have any information you need to refer to, you can ask my secretary for it." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Okay." Abigail nodded. "Are you busy tonight?" Liam asked casually. "Yes," Abigail said. Liam paused for a moment, "What is it?" "I have an appointment," Abigail said. Hearing Abigail''s words, the first thought in Liam''s mind was, it must be Jacob. "A date!" "Sort of." Looking at Abigail''s calm face, Liam felt bad. "Then I may fail you. Stay at thepany tonight. You still have a lot to do." "Seriously?" Abigail frowned at his words. "Yes, my secretary helped you get some materials. They were all designs of the champions of the previouspetition. You can have a look." "But I have something to do tonight!" "Miss Swift, is your date more important or your job?" Liam looked at her and asked, "You are not only representing yourself, but also the entire the Powerline Group, so I hope you take it seriously." Chapter 55 Chapter 55 One sentence blocked Abigail''s all words. She had always kept the professional and the personal separate. How could she feel that Liam regard she didn''t value work? Looking at Liam, Abigail frowned and nodded, "I see. I''ll stay here to work overtime tonight." She had never heard of overtime work before. But Liam had already said that. What else could she say? That was the only way. Hearing Abigail''s words, Liam smiled and nodded, "Yeah, that''s right. Okay, you can leave." "Okay." Abigail nodded and walked out. She didn''t notice Liam''s eyes. There was a sly glint in them... After going out, Abigail quickly picked up her phone and called Jacob. It was connected after a few minutes. "Hello, Abigail," Jacob said softly on the phone. "Brother, I''m sorry, I''m afraid I can''t go tonight." "What''s wrong?" "I have to work overtime tonight, so I can''t go," Abigail said. Hearing this, Jacob paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It''s okay, you may do your job first. When you are free, we can make a rain check." "Sure!" Abigail replied. "I''ll go to deal with the work then." "OK!" Just as Abigail hung up the phone, the secretary came up. "Miss Swift, this is the documents Mr. Jones asked me to give you." With that, the secretary came up with a stack of documents. "Okay, thank you." Abigail nodded and smiled, but was surprised when she saw a magazine on it. Liam didn''t just buy these magazines casually. They were limited edition magazines. She had only seen a few books abroad, but Liam had them all. Surprised, Abigail carried them to the desk. She was a person who liked reading such magazines, so when she sat there and read them, time passed quickly without her sensing it. When everyone else was off work and she was the only one in thepany, she was still reading the magazine. After Liam was done with his business, he walked out of the office and saw that the Design Department was still lit on, while Abigail was sitting there, watching something intently. Sure enough, she didn''t go on a date. ''Good girl.'' Thinking of this, Liam couldn''t help but walk towards there out of control. "How is it? Is it attractive?" Liam''s voice sounded above her head. Abigail had no idea that he wasing over. She had always thought that no one was there. Thus, she looked up in fear because of his sudden words. When she saw it was Liam, Abigail was relieved. "Are you walking without a sound?" Abigail asked discontentedly, frowning slightly. He really gave her a scare. Looking at Abigail frowning discontentedly, Liam actually felt her a little cute. "You''re the one who''s too absorbed in it. You can''t me me for walking soundlessly." Liam said. Though listening to him, Abigail ignored him and continued to read the magazines. "So attractive, right?!" "Yes." Abigail nodded. "These are limited edition, not everyone can see them," Liam said. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Abigail looked up and smiled, "Then many thanks to you, Mr. Jones." Chapter 56 Chapter 56 "You''re wee!" "But Mr. Jones, the good stuff is to be shared. And it''s useless to keep it. Why not share it? The whole Design Department can improve." Abigail said with a smile. But why did Liam always find her smile so unreal? "You''re right. I ept your suggestion." Liam said. Abigail smiled, stopped talking, and continued to look down at the magazine in front of her. "Have you eaten yet?" Liam asked immediately. "I''m asked to work overtime, so I have no time to eat," Abigail said. ''Is sheining?'' "I told you to work overtime. But I did allow you to eat." Liam retorted. Abigail thought for a moment. She didn''t even raise her head and said, "I forgot." "Let''s go. I''ll treat you to dinner." At this moment, Liam said. ''Am I hearing it wrong?'' ''Treat me to dinner?'' Abigail thought she was not that brave. "I have to work overtime." She tly rejected. At this time, Liam looked at his watch. It was almost nine o''clock. "I announce the end of work." Liam said word by word, "Now go eat with me!" As he was the boss, he had the right to ask the employees to work overtime or stop working. "Since it''s over, I''ll go back home." Obviously, Abigail didn''t want to go to dinner with Liam at all. Hearing her repeated rejections, Liam was a little angry. "Abigail, how dare you reject your boss like that? Come to dinner with me. No rejections." "Are you a fascist?" "Yes! Abigail, "..." "I''ll give you two choices. One, I''ll go home with you for dinner, and you''ll cook for me. Two, go eat with me." "Then I choose thetter." Liam, "..." So, after giving Abigail a nk look, Liam took the lead and walked out. Seeing that he was so bossy, Abigail reluctantly put away the materials and followed him out. Liam stood in the elevator and waited. After Abigail walked over, he walked in. The elevator slowly closed. Abigail and Liam were in the elevator. They both felt weird and didn''t know what to do. They could only stand there and say nothing. Liam stood up straight and said nothing. Finally, the hard time passed, and the elevator was opened. Liam took the lead and walked out. Abigail followed closely behind. Just as he was about to get in the car, Liam ordered, "Sit in front!" So Abigail, who had just opened the back door, stopped her movement. She had no choice but to open the front door and sit in. Liam pulled on his seat belt. "What do you want to eat?" "I''m just apanying you. You can decide." Abigail said faintly. "Apanying me?" When Liam heard this, he raised his eyebrows. The tone of his voice told Abigail that he was thinking too much, so she immediately said. "A decent man like Mr. Jones shouldn''t think too much." "Who said I am decent?" Liam turned to look at her and asked jokingly. "I can tell." "Then let me tell you, I''m not decent at all!" Liam had a threatening tone. Abigail was no longer a little girl. How could she be so easily frightened like amb? "Mr. Jones, you finally admit it. It was just apliment." Abigail said with a smile. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Liam, "..." Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Liam looked at Abigail and he suddenly couldn''t help butugh. He found this woman more and more N?velDrama.Org owns this. interesting. He said no more but started the car and left the parking lot. Liam didn''t ask Abigail what she wanted to eat. Instead, he drove her directly to a western restaurant. Nine o''clock was a good time for a date. When they arrived, there were a lot of people in the restaurant. Since Liam was the VIP here, there was always a table reserved for him. Abigail didn''t say anything. Since it was Liam''s treat, all she needed to do was to enjoy it. "Mr. Jones, this way." Led by the manager, Liam sat in a decent ce. Liam sat there while Abigail sat opposite him. "Mr. Jones, please wait a second and a waiter will be here to take your order right away." The manager said respectfully. When she noticed the manager, Abigail was sure that Liam must have been here a lot. He was really forceful. At this time, the manager walked away trembling, and immediately a waiter came to take their order. "I''d like two steaks, medium rare, and a bottle of Laffite!" Liam said. The waiter quickly wrote it down. Abigail, "..." It was Laffite but Liam ordered it so casually. He really lived an extravagant life. The waiter nodded. "Okay, all will be right there!" "Wait." When the waiter was about to leave, Abigail spoke out. The waiter immediately stopped. "Yes?" "The steak I want medium-well! " When the waiter heard that, he nodded. "Okay, I got it." Then he left. Liam looked at her. "A medium-rare steak is perfect!" "I can''t bear that bloody food. A medium-well steak is just right for me." Abigail said. For some reason, Liam remembered her simple words and said nothing. At this time, When Abigail looked around, she found that there were all the couples sitting in pairs and having a candlelight dinner. When she and Liam sat here like this, it seemed that they were dating each other. Abigail was a little embarrassed, but Liam thought the atmosphere was great, and that was what he wanted. "How''s it going? Do you get anything tonight?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked casually. "Yes." "You have an idea?" "No." Liam, "..." He realized more and more that this woman was not only interesting but also cunning. She had her own way of saying and doing things. "It seems that tonight is in vain," Liam said. "That''s not necessarily true. Anything you learn will be rewarded one day." Abigail said calmly. Liam was about to say something when the waiter came over with a cart. "Mr. Jones, your order is ready." As he spoke, he served the dishes on the table. After he served the two steaks, he opened the bottle of wine and poured the wine into two sses. "Mr. Jones, enjoy." The waiter nodded and left. At this moment, Abigail and Liam then began to eat. The service here was so good that it must be very expensive, but Abigail ate peacefully. It was Liam''s treat anyway. Two years ago, she didn''t take any advantage of Liam. She didn''t expect him to treat her to dinner two yearster. When she just thought of this, Abigail found it ridiculous. Noticing Abigail smiling, Liam looked at her. "What are you thinking?" Abigail regained herposure and smiled. "Nothing!" Abigail was mysterious to others, like a woman with a story, which made him want to know more about her. Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Little did he know how shocked he would be when he really knew the truth. "How is it? How does it taste?" Liam looked at her and asked. Abigail nodded. "Can a steak that cost more than a thousand taste bad?" "It''s good you know it. Remember, you owe me a favor." "Hmm?" As Abigail ate, she looked up at Liam. "What kind of favor?" "Do I treat you to dinner for nothing?" "I''m apanying you to eat," Abigail said. Liam was too good at ckmailing people now. "But you''ve eaten after all," Liam said. He was determined to ckmail her anyway. Abigail, "..." Could she put down the knife and fork and leave now? But she had eaten some, and even if she didn''t continue, Liam would still stick to his n. It would be better to enjoy this dinner. Abigail picked up the red wine and took a sip. Liam sat across from her. Somehow, it wasfortable to be with her, and there was a feeling of deja vu... Abigail looked back, feeling nervous. Then Abigail said, "Mr. Jones, I''m here to eat with you, and I''m being ckmailed by you. If your girlfriend sees us, she''ll probably be mad at me again." "Are you afraid?" Liam raised his eyebrows and asked. "Of course," Abigail said quickly. "Who''s not afraid of idents? Besides, I hate being misunderstood by others the most." Listening to Abigail''s words, Liam smiled. He did not see that she was afraid at all. Even thest time she spoke to Olive, she made Olive very angry. At this moment, Liam cut a steak and said, "Then you will often be bothered by these things in the future." "Hmm? What do you mean?" Abigail did not get it for a moment. Liam smiled. "Nothing. Enjoy it." Since Liam said so, Abigail did not ask anything more. She continued to eat. There was really a big difference between a superior steak and an inferior steak. Abigail admitted that the meal was not bad. So the meal was finished in such an atmosphere. Liam wanted to send Abigail back. Abigail didn''t insist. It was not easy to take a taxi at this hour, so she got into Liam''s car. Along the way, neither of them spoke much, but neither of them felt awkward. Liam looked at her sideways, "What are you thinking?" "Design." "You have an idea?" "No," Abigail said. "Dennis said that people will resonate with those who have a story, so you can use your story." "Storiese from love, friendship, family, and life. My life is very in, my family is very harmonious, and my friends are very good, so I really can''t think of any good story." "What about love?" After listening for all, Liam raised his eyebrows and asked. Hearing this, Abigail turned to look at him. "Mr. Jones, you did it on purpose. You knew I was divorced." "What about the story before the divorce? No experience?" Speaking of this, Abigail was silent for a moment. "What was your ex-husband like?" Liam asked officially but casually.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Hearing this, Abigail turned to look at Liam. ''Is he doing it on purpose?'' ''If I try to avoid this question, would he consider me too self-conscious?'' Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. After thinking for a second, Abigail said, "He''s a scum if you care to know." "Scum?" Hearing this, Liam frowned. "In what way?" "Promiscuous, fickle, rampant, unreliable, pretentious..." Abigail blurted out several "charges" against her ex-husband. Of course, for Liam now, he had already forgotten what he was like in the past. He only knew he was a modest man now. However, if he found out that Abigail was actually talking about him one day, he would certainly feel more differently. "Well, you don''t have a good judgment, either," Liam said. After hearing that, Abigail rolled her eyes at him and didn''t say anything. She didn''t want Liam to notice. "How is he now?" "Dead," Abigail said. Liam, "... How did he die?" "By looking for trouble." Liam, "..." Trying to change the subject, Abigail looked at him and asked, "What about your ex-wife?" The two of them now looked like they were opening their heart to each other. When it came to his ex-wife, Liam frowned and thought, "I can''t really remember." When Abigail heard this, her face twitched. She really didn''t want to talk to this man anymore. She was silent. Liam thought for a moment and then said, "All I remember is that she''s very old- fashioned and ugly. She wears old-fashioned clothes and a pair of sses every day. So boring." Abigail''s expression was calm, but she was already sneering in her heart. ''If it wasn''t for that, how would I divorce such a yboy like you?'' "It seems that Mr. Jones judges people by their appearances." Abigail looked at him and said with a smile, but she was mocking him secretly. Hearing Abigail''s words, Liam also knew what she meant. He turned his head and looked at her. "Everyone appreciates beautiful things and people. Besides, even if I don''t judge people by their appearances, she''s not the woman I like. More importantly, she''s really unlively and boring, like a body." This was very important to Liam. "But the most important thing for her is that she knows how to behave properly." "Do you think my woman will think of anything else when she''s with me?" Liam suddenly gave an evil grin and asked as he looked at her. Abigail wanted to roll her eyes. ''Liam, where do you get your confidence?'' ''Does your mother know that she had raised such a confident son?'' Of course, Abigail would never say it out loud but only put on a false smile. The car continued moving on the road. While driving, Liam didn''t forget to say, "I didn''t expect you to be a woman with a story." Hearing his words, Abigail smiled. "Don''t you think such a woman is more sophisticated? Only a woman who has experienced it knows what she wants and cherishes." Abigail said. Just as they arrived at the destination, Liam stopped the car. "Such an experienced woman can''t design something with a story!" Liam asked. Abigail, "..." "Or, is it because ofck of a rtionship?" Liam asked, then slowly moved closer. "Maybe I can help you back in the game..." Looking at Liam getting closer and closer, Abigail could almost hear her heartbeat. ''What is this man trying to do?'' Chapter 60 Chapter 60 As he approached, Abigail leaned further back. She almost squeezed herself against the seat back. It was so quiet in the car that they could hear them breathing. Liam just wanted to tease her at first, but the closer look at her lips dyed red by the wine and her sparkling and alluring eyes yed on his heartstrings. He felt an urge to kiss her... Abigail gazed at him. ''Holy sh*t! This man is still as flirtatious as before!". In the next second, Abigail opened the car door and jumped off. "Mr. Jones, thank you for dropping me off. Bye." Failing to get what he wanted, Liam was unhappy, but he could not show it obviously. But seeing how nervous and flustered Abigail was, he felt relieved a little. "Well, don''t you wanna invite me to your house for a cup of tea?" "Mr. Jones, I''m sorry. I don''t drink tea, so I don''t have any tea at home. Take care on your way back." Abigail said with a smile, standing outside the car window. "I''m also OK with coffee." "I just came back from abroad and my house is in a mess. I don''t even know if the water is avable, not to mention coffee. I hope you can understand, Mr. Jones." Abigail said with a determined smile. Apparently, she meant that Liam was not invited. As a smart man, Liam got her point immediately. Liam smiled, "OK, it''ste. I''ll go back." As soon as he finished speaking, Abigail said, "Mr. Jones, drive safe." Knowing her urge to kick him off hidden behind the calm look on her face, Liam wanted to tear off her disguise. But he seemed to see no fun of doing that. He would rather continue like this, which was much more interesting... He wanted to explore the whole part of this woman bit by bit... As this thought popped up in his mind, a slight smile touched his lips. Without saying anything more, he drove the car away. Abigail stood there, watching the back of the car as she clenched her fists. This is from N?velDrama.Org. She took a deep breath and walked towards her house. Abigail was about to enter the apartment when an angry voice resounded behind her. "Abigail!" Hearing the sound, Abigail turned around. At this moment, Olive came up in a very threatening manner and pped her face. Abigail was not in a hurry to strike back. Instead, she looked at her and said, "Are you out of your mind?" Olive nned to wait for Abigail here and talk to her, but she didn''t expect to see Liam drive her home. She recognized Liam''s car. Although she didn''t see what had happened in the car, she could imagine what they did because they had been inside for so long. Olive''s breast heaved with anger. "Out of mind? Abigail, isn''t Liam the person who drove you home just now?" Olive shouted at her face. Abigail was stunned. It was indeed Liam who dropped her off. "So what?" Abigail asked. Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Hearing this, Olive sneered. "He sent you back. You two stayed in the car for a while. I know what you were doing inside the god damn car. Abigail, I''m warning you. You''d better stay away from him." Olive roared. Hearing this, Abigail felt absurd and a little angry. "Olive, I don''t know what you saw, but don''t imagine me as your enemy. I don''t like Liam. I told you before, not everyone will like what or whom you are interested in. I won''t p you back this time, but if you do this again, I''ll pay you back." Abigail imed word by word. Olive looked at her. "Looks like you really won''t give up." Abigail did not speak again. She felt that she had made herself very clear. But Olive still red at her and said. "Abigail, you will pay for this." Then she turned around and left. Abigail stood there and watched as Olive got in the car angrily and left. She just sneered and turned back to her apartment. ''Why are both Liam and his dear girlfriend so crazy?'' After returning home, Abigail washed up and looked at herself in the mirror, finding a palm print on her face. She frowned a little,ining in her heart that Olive was really ruthless. N?velDrama.Org owns this. After applying some skincare to her face, Abigail went straight to bed. She could fall asleep very soon before, but tonight, Abigail was restless. When she closed her eyes, the picture of Liaming closer to her in the car couldn''t help but sh in her mind... Abigail then suddenly opened her eyes and gazed at the ceiling. She felt like she was sweating all over. Abigail had no choice but to get up, pour a ss of red wine, go to the balcony, look at the darkness of the outside and gulp the wine down. ''I''d better leave the Powerline Group shortly after thepetition. I really don''t want to get involved in the affair between Liam and Olive anymore.'' With this in mind, Abigail took a breath, climbed into her bed, and closed her eyes. ''Hope everything goes well tomorrow.'' The next day. Abigail found her face still somewhat swollen despite being covered by foundation when she got up and looked at herself in the mirror. But she didn''t take it seriously. She went directly to thepany after having breakfast. She was informed to attend many meetings about thepetition and the cooperation between the those projects. She was indeed overwhelmed. When Liam walked into the conference room, everyone was already seated. He nced at Abigail and noticed that her face was a little different, but he didn''t say anything because of the meeting. He then looked at Jane over there and said, "Abigail is in charge of two projects now. Jane, help her with the cooperation with the Ratio Group." Jane nodded. "Got it!" Abigail agreed. In this way, she could focus on thepetition. After half an hour, the meeting came to an end. Liam stood up and said, "Abigail,e with me to my office. I''ll discuss the details of thepetition with you." "Okay." Abigail nodded and followed Liam to the office. Chapter 62 Chapter 62 "Mr. Jones, what do you want?" Abigail asked upon entering the office. Liam sat in a chair and looked up. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed her swollen face. He frowned. "What happened to your face?" Hearing Liam''s words, Abigail didn''t beat around the bush, but directly replied, "A lunatic pped my face yesterday." Liam looked at Abigail and could hear the irony in her words. "I didn''t expect that you would suffer this one day," Liam teased. ''All this originated from you, okay? If it weren''t for you, your ''sweet'' girlfriend wouldn''t have hit me?'' "So do you mean I should fight with a lunatic?" Abigail asked. She was always so eloquent. Liam looked up at her and said, "The best way is not to let yourself suffer." "Got it! I''ll never let go of it so easily if such a thing happens again." Liam felt she said those words to him. Abigail took the initiative to ask him again, "Mr. Jones, what do you want to discuss?" "The time for thepetition has been set." Speaking of this, Abigail raised her eyebrow. "When?" "This Saturday." "Only five days left?" Abigail asked. Liam nodded. "Yes, in five days, your design must be handed in." Abigail thought about it and nodded. "Okay, I got it." "Don''t be too nervous. Just try your best." Liamforted her because he didn''t want to make her stressed out. After hearing this, Abigail smiled. It was rare for Liam to be so considerate to his subordinates. "Got you." "If there is any question, just ask me." ''Ask him? Does he know anything about design?'' At this moment, Liam looked up with a smile and said jokingly, "At least, I can give you unlimited inspiration and motivation..." Looking at Liam''s smile, Abigail thought of what happened in the car yesterday. Abigail then said, "Mr. Jones, if you have no further instructions, I''m leaving now.." Looking at Abigail, Liam couldn''t help but smile. Even he himself didn''t know how sweet his smile was... Just as Abigail left, Liam suddenly remembered something. He picked up the phone on the desk and called his secretary. "Go to the pharmacy and buy me a cream. Bring it to my officeter!" He hung up the phone and recalled the scene just now. After leaving the office, Abigail started designing, but what Dennis said kept swirling in her mind. "Only the design with a story behind it would resonate." However, her story wasn''t that impressive. So it was really difficult for her to design. For the first time, she felt that she really needed some inspiration. It was about time to get off work. Everyone began to pack up their things. But Abigail still sat there, still thinking about the design of thepetition. "Abigail, aren''t you leaving?" "Yes, I haven''t finished my work. You guys can leave first. Bye." "Okay. Bye." Abigail turned on theputer in front of her and looked through some retro photos to gain some inspiration. At this time, Liam came out of his office and saw Abigail sitting there motionlessly. Looking at the ointment in his hand, Liam walked directly to her. "Why are you still here?" Liam''s voice rang out above Abigail''s head. Hearing his voice, Abigail looked up without a trace of surprise disyed on her face. "What are you looking at?" "Some photos. Just to seek inspiration." Liam raised his eyebrows. "Don''t you have any inspiration?" "Yes," Abigail replied casually as her eyes were fixed on the screen,pletely ignoring his smile... "Follow me to a ce!" Liam ordered. "What?" Abigail muttered as if she was unwilling to do it. In the blink of an eye, Liam took her hand and pulled her. Abigail was shocked. "Hey, what are you doing?" "Follow me." And then he let go of her hand and gave her a meaningful look. After getting into his car, Abigail asked, "Why do you take me?" "To find inspiration." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "There is no need. I can go alone.." Abigail protested immediately and tried to open the door. At this moment, Liam looked at her. "Can you just listen to me once?" Hearing his disappointment, Abigail retreated her hand. Liam then looked at her. "Do you think I will take advantage of you?" "What?" "Don''t y dumb in front of me. As I said, it''s not only about your dream, but also about the honor of the entire Powerline Group. I won''t fool around." Liam looked at Abigail and said word by word. ''Fool around with me or with the reputation of yourpany?'' Of course, Abigail wouldn''t ask him. That was just asking for a snub. Therefore, she just nodded. Just as Liam was about to drive away, he suddenly reached out to grab something and gave it to her. Abigail paused and looked at what he had thrown at her. It was the ointment. "This is..." "Abigail, even if you don''t pay attention to your image, please value the Powerline Group''s image. You don''t look good with a hand mark on your face." "So, you bought this?" Abigail opened her eyes wide and looked at him sideways. "No." ''You are really not good at acting, Mr. Jones.'' Abigail mocked in her heart. Looking at the ointment in her hand, she asked, "Mr. Jones, is this just your concern about your subordinate?" Liam frowned and looked back at her. "Of course. Why did you ask that?" Chapter 63 Chapter 63 "Because I don''t want your girlfriend to misunderstand our rtionship again. My face is too fragile to take more ps from her." Thest sentence was like a bomb in Liam''s head. "She did it?" "Yes." "Why?" "Mr. Jones, don''t you think it''s too weird of you to ask that?" Abigail said. "Is it because of me?" "What else could it be?" "You just let her p you?" Liam asked rhetorically. "Do you mean that I should p her back?" "Doesn''t it fit your way of acting?" Abigail had a strange feeling that they were like a couple. She didn''t want to argue with him anymore, but smiled. "I see. Next time, I won''t be that polite." Looking at her smile, Liam felt that this woman was really cunning. There was no trace of any negative emotions on her face. Liam silently started the car. However, Abigail really felt that it was a very sad thing to be Liam''s woman. If Olive heard this, she would be heartbroken. ''This man is really mean.'' Seeing that Abigail had been silent, Liam said, "What are you thinking?" ''Is he able to read minds?'' Abigail once suspected that whenever she thought of his shorings, he would always ask her what she was thinking. But since he didn''t make it clear, of course, Abigail wouldn''t just tell him. She smiled, "Nothing." "Where are we going?" Liam nced at her with his deep eyes and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips. "You''ll know it when we get there." Abigail then stopped asking. After about forty minutes, the car stopped. "Here?" Abigail asked. Liam nodded. Abigail looked out the window. This ce was poor and remote. However, the air was very fresh, and the scenery was eye-pleasing. "This is..." "Inspirationes from stories, and storiese from reality. Only when you are close to life can you have inspiration." Liam said. Abigail did not expect Liam to say this. Nor did she expect him to bring her here. She had to admit that she liked it very much. So, she pushed open the door and got out of the car. It was a small street filled with people who bought gadgets. At this moment, Liam looked at Abigail. "Do you want to have a look?" "Of course." Abigail readily agreed. Liam then pulled the car off the road and went into the street with Abigail as if they were dating. Abigail looked very happy and rxed when walking around in the street with Liam. Their appearances drew much attention. ''What a well-matched couple!'' This is from N?velDrama.Org. "I didn''t expect you to know such a ce," Abigail said in surprise. Hearing Abigail''s words, Liam smiled. "Not everyone is born rich and brilliant." Chapter 64 Chapter 64 "What did you mean by that?" Abigail looked up at him subconsciously. "Nothing. Let''s go deeper." Liam said. Abigail did not continue to ask. She did not like to ask about others'' privacy. Everyone here looked quite happy. It could be seen that they were very content with their current situation. When Abigail came here, she could not help but be affected by the atmosphere here, and she became quite rxed. She lived in City A when she was young, but she never knew such a peaceful ce away from the business and pressure downtown. She really had to thank Liam for that. If it weren''t for him, she wouldn''t have experienced this. Abigail was enjoying the quietness of this ce while walking around. Liam, who was walking beside her, nced at her side face, long eyshes, and the smile tugging at Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. her lips, all of which made him refreshed andfortable. Women would definitely think this ce was dirty, but she didn''t. Instead, she enjoyed it. With this in mind, Liam couldn''t help but curl his lips into a smile. "Do you feelfortable at this ce?" Liam asked casually. "Absolutely." Abigail nodded. "Sometimes, the simpler a person is, the more meaningful his/her design will be." Hearing this, Abigail nodded undeniably. They lived in the city, with so many burdens and worries every day, so they couldn''t help but think too much when dealing with anything, Therefore, they''d better return to such a quiet and simple ce to get inspired. At this moment, Abigail suddenly turned to look at Liam. "Mr. Jones, what happened to you today?" "What''s wrong?" "I find your speech particrly impressive and persuasive, like an axiom." "My words have always been the truth." Abigail felt speechless. ''People really couldn''t be praised! Especially Liam!'' She no longer argued with him. At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a stall in front of them and then walked over. Some things looked pretty good. Abigail picked up a bracelet inset with small corals on it, which looked really attractive. Abigail picked it up and put it around her wrist. It added color to her white skin, looking quite matched. "Is it beautiful?" Abigail looked back at Liam and asked. "Yes." Liam nodded. At this moment, the seller said, "Girl, you look really beautiful with this bracelet." Abigail smiled, "How much is it?" "Fifteen." "Okay, I''ll take it," She didn''t mind that it was cheap at all. Abigail took some money out of her wallet and gave it to the seller. The seller raised a big smile. "Thank you." Abigail responded with a smile. She then turned around and looked at Liam. "Let''s go." After taking a few steps, Liam asked out of curiosity, "Do you like it?" "It''s pretty, isn''t it?" Chapter 65 Chapter 65 "Yes, but it isn''t worthy of that price," Liam said. "It depends on how you look at it. If you like it, it''s worth it. If you don''t like it, it''s not." Abigail smiled and continued, "Fifteen is nothing to me, but it may be arge sum of money for her. It will please yourself to help others, right?" Abigail asked. Hearing this, Liam smiled. Abigail had always been positive in judging things. Liam didn''t ask more questions, but continued their rxing tour. At this moment, a lot of children were ying in front of them. Watching themughing so happily, Abigail couldn''t help feeling happy. Just then, Abigail noticed an old man at one side. The old man had been sitting there all the time, who seemed to be holding something in his hand. He Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. was looking at it very carefully. "What are you looking at?" Liam asked. Abigail gestured with her chin, and Liam looked over. When he saw the man, Liam frowned and walked over straightaway. "Henry!" At this moment, Liam called out. Abigail was a little surprised. ''Does Liam know him?'' At this moment, the man looked up. He smiled instantly when he saw Liam, "Liam? Liam, you''re back?" "Yes, I''m back. How are you doing these days?" "I''m fine!" The man looked excited and happy, kept staring at Liam. Liam just smiled and didn''t dodge his gaze. At this moment, Abigail looked at Liam and asked him, "You know him?" At this moment, Henry also noticed Abigail standing on the side. Henry then asked, "Who''s this?" Liam raised his eyebrows and answered after a while of consideration, "Oh, this is my girlfriend." After saying that, Liam pulled Abigail by the shoulder into his arms. ''Girlfriend?'' Abigail got shocked. Seeing the yful look on Liam''s face, Abigail knew that he said it on purpose, but she didn''t understand why he did that. "She is very beautiful. I didn''t expect you to be able to get such a beautiful girlfriend." Henry looked at Abigail and nodded in admiration. "Actually, I..." Just as Abigail was about to exin, Liam suddenly pulled her closer and whispered in her ear, "Give Henry some hope. There is something wrong with his brain..." Because Abigail didn''t know what the hell it meant, she could only force a smile and nod, "Thank you for your praise..." During the conversation of one hour, Abigail found the rtionship between Henry and Liam was very ambiguous. Looked like Henry regarded Liam as his son... Henry was very hospitable and was very nice to them. Abigail thus felt a little relieved. They didn''t go back until it was almost getting dark. Henry followed them to Liam''s car and then left dejectedly. Abigail and Liam sat in the car. Watching Henry''s back from the mirror, Abigail suddenly felt a little sad. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Liam smiled at Abigail, "It seems that you are very confident." "If thepetition is spoiled by a lot of underhand tricks, I don''t have to pay too much attention to it," Abigail said with absolute certainty. Hearing this, Liam nodded. "OK, I''ll wait and see what you can do." "Thank you, Mr. Jones," Abigail said. "How about going to dinner together?" Liam changed the subject. "No, thank you." She didn''t want to have dinner with Liam and provoke Olive again. She remembered what she''d suffered yesterday. "But you haven''t eaten anything yet." "I ate some of the food that Henry served, so I''m not hungry. I have some inspiration now, so I have to go back to draw the design." Abigail said. Liam looked into her eyes as if he tried to see if she was telling the truth. Finally, Liam nodded, drove the car, and sent her back. On the way down to the neighborhood, Abigail didn''t give Liam any chances to get close to her. After reaching the destination, she pushed open the door and went off the car. "Mr. Jones, be careful on the way," Abigail said with a smile. Liam looked at the woman. The more she hid, the more he wanted to get close to her. The more she wanted to get away, the more interested he was. However, he was not in a hurry to get her right now. "Okay." Liam curled his lips and drove away. Seeing him leave so quickly, Abigail heaved a sigh of relief and went straight upstairs. After returning home, she put on afortable nightgown, washed up briefly, and began to draw designs... Theputer was on, and for some reason, Abigail kept thinking about what Liam said to her today, and about Henry... Suddenly, a name popped up in her mind... Alexia. Abigail put her hand on theputer and opened Google Browser. She couldn''t help but type this name... A lot of news about Alexia was disyed in front of her eyes. There was also a picture of Alexia. She was a foreign woman. She was slim, beautiful, and capable. Abigail looked through her profile and identally found a piece of news. Her eyes were fixed on the screen of theputer and she flipped through the photos. However, Abigail also found a detail. At that moment, an idea came to her mind... To make sure it was true, she searched for a long time. Then she picked up her phone and called Liam. Liam had just entered his house and saw that it was Abigail''s call. He immediately answered it, "Hello." "Mr. Jones." "You miss me so soon?" Abigail ignored his question and said directly, "Did Alexia ever have a son who died in an ident?" Hearing this, Liam paused for a moment and said, "There seems to be such a thing..." "Okay! Got it." Before Liam could speak, Abigail hung up. Liam looked at the phone and frowned slightly, but didn''t say anything. So, in just one night, Abigail drew the rough outline of the design. Looking at the drawing, Abigail smiled. Although she didn''t know if the design would win, it was definitely a meaningful work of art. She carefully sandwiched the exnation card of this design into the paper. She then took a shower and went to thepany. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. By coincidence, she met Liam in the elevator. Seeing Abigail''s red eyes, Liam frowned. "What''s wrong with you? Didn''t you sleepst night?" "Yes." Abigail nodded. "Is that obvious?" "Yes, I can tell it from your red eyes," Liam said. Abigail became silent. "How''s the design going?" Just as Liam asked, the elevator door opened. Abigail walked out first and said, "Mr. Jones, don''t worry. I''ll hand in the design as nned." With that, Abigail smiled and turned to walk towards the Design Department. Liam looked at her back in the elevator, and a smile subconsciously tugged at his lips. Abigail rarely stayed upte. So her head kept spinning now. It was terrible. She went down and nned to buy something. However, at this moment, a figure came in. It was Grace, the maid that served Abigail before. When she saw Abigail, she frowned. She wanted to go up and see her clearly, but Liam was in a hurry to use the documents, so she had to give up. In the office. Grace bowed to Liam and said, "Mr. Jones, here you are." Liam smiled, "I told the driver to get it. You don''t have toe here." "I was afraid he would be careless," Grace said. She was very considerate of Liam. "I''ll have the driver take you back." Grace nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Mr. Jones, do you still have contact with Mrs. Jones?" Grace suddenly asked. Of course, Liam knew who she was referring to. "No, what''s wrong?" Liam said. Judging from his expression, she guessed he really didn''t know it. ''Was I mistaken?'' Grace shook her head with a smile. "Nothing, I''m leaving now." "OK." Liam didn''t think much. Liam wanted to see her off, but the phone on the desk rang. Grace then went down the elevator alone. As soon as she reached the hall, Abigail had juste back from outside. When Grace saw her, she wanted to hurry up to see if she was that woman or not. Finally, unable to repress her curiosity, she walked up. "Mrs. Jones?" At this moment, a gentle and probing voice sounded behind her. Abigail turned around, but when she saw the person in front of her, she was stunned. "Grace?" To be honest, she was surprised to see Grace here. "It''s really you," Grace said with a sincere smile. It had been two years since they saw each otherst time. Abigail became more elegant so that Grace didn''t dare to believe the person in front of her was Abigail. During the years at the Jones Family, Abigail had never forgotten how Grace took care of herself, but at this moment, she smiled, "Grace, Liam and I have been divorced for a long time. You can just call me Abigail." Abigail said with a smile. Grace nodded. "Okay, but, didn''t you leave? Why are you here?" "I..." Abigail thought of something and looked at Grace. "Grace, it''s a long story. I''ll exin it to you Grace blinked and smiled, "What is it?" "Liam didn''t recognize me. Can you not tell him?" Hearing this, Grace was a little surprised, but her change was indeed dramatic, so it was reasonable for Liam to fail to recognize her. "But..." "Grace, please... If he knows it, I''ll get into trouble," Abigail said coquettishly. Of course, Grace knew what had happened between them before. After thinking about it for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, but you know, one day he will find out the truth." Grace kindly reminded her. "I see. I''ll think about it. Thank you, Grace." Abigail said with a quick smile. "What are you talking about?" Just then, a cold voice came from behind. Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Abigail froze for a while and then slowly turned around when she heard the familiar and cold voice. It was Liam who was walking towards them. Each of his steps punched her heart. She had no idea if he had heard what they talked about. At that moment, her palms were sweating. If Liam knew, she would definitely die... He looked at them with deep-set eyes. "What are you talking about?" Abigail was so agitated, but she still pretended that nothing had happened and smiled, "Nothing. I happened to meet thisdy when I came down to buy something to eat, and she asked me where the toilet was." Abigail told a lie calmly. Liam frowned slightly and looked at her. He questioned her again. "Really?" Abigail nodded affirmatively with a smile on her face. At this moment, she didn''t feel sleepy at all, but nervous. She was trying hard to feign calmness. Then, Liam looked at Grace. "Grace, don''t you know where the toilet is?" He asked casually. It wasn''t Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. the first time for her toe here, so how could she not know it? Grace stood there in a panic. After all, she was worried about keeping that secret from Liam, but since she had promised Abigail, she couldn''t tell him. Atst, Grace just smiled awkwardly. "It''s been a long time since I came here. So I don''t remember it." Hearing this, Liam just nodded and nced at them. The two women couldn''t tell from his expression if he believed them or not. "You know each other?" Liam''s eyes were fixed on Abigail''s arm which was holding Grace''s. ''I have to admit that he is too observant. He can even see such a slightest movement.'' Abigail withdrew her arm calmly. "I was helping her just now. I''m leaving now. Bye." She smiled, then politely nodded to Grace and turned to go to the elevator. After Abigail left, Grace looked at Liam. "Mr. Jones, my task is done. I''ll go back now." Liam nodded. "The driver is waiting for you at the gate." "Okay, thanks!" Grace left. Liam watched Grace''s back and then turned to gaze at Abigail''s thoughtfully. When Abigail walked into the elevator, she let out a sigh of relief. Working at the Powerline Group meant she had to see Liam at any time. She had been worried that he would know the truth at any time, which made her so nervous. It looked like Liam didn''t hear what they said. Otherwise, he wouldn''t let them go. Thanks to the ident, she was not sleepy at all. When the elevator opened, Abigail walked straight out. She didn''t have to use what she just bought, so she went straight to the pantry to make a cup of coffee to clear her head and calm herself down. After having a cup of coffee in the pantry, Abigail made another cup and walked out with it. As soon as she walked out, she met Liam. Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Abigail couldn''t help but feel nervous again. "Mr. Jones." She greeted calmly. Looking at the coffee in her hand, Liam raised an eyebrow. "Are you sleepy?" "No, I''m good," Abigail said. "If you''re really sleepy, go back and rest," Liam said. Hearing this, Abigail was a little surprised but still smiled. "I''m really fine." "That''s good." Liam nodded and went straight to the office without saying anything else. Watching him leave, Abigail heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter was settled. Then she went to the Design Department. Her own design was almost done. So she then helped Jane handle the case about the Ratio Group. At noon, they were just about to eat when Olive arrived. Every time she came, the Design Department would start gossiping. Of course, she definitely came here to have lunch with Liam. The whole Design Department knew it. One needed to pass by the Design Department if he wanted to go to Liam''s office, so when Olive walked in, she saw Abigail. Thinking of what happened that night, she red at Abigail. Abigail was extremely speechless. Olive was severely hostile to her, but she just pretended not to see it. Just as Liam was about to stand up and ask Abigail to have lunch, there was a knock at the door. Then Olive came in. Liam raised his eyebrows. "Why are you here?" Olive pouted and leaned over. "Liam, why don''t youe to me these days?" Only then did Liam realize that he hadn''t called her recently. "I''m busy with thepetition these days," Liam said indifferently. "Really?" Olive asked rhetorically. "I thought you had fallen in love with someone else." Hearing this, Liam raised his eyebrows and looked back at her. "Are youining to me?" Afraid that Liam would get angry, Olive quickly said, "I''m afraid of losing you. Let''s have lunch together." She said coquettishly as she wrapped her arms around Liam''s neck. At this point, he could only nod in agreement. "Okay." "I''ve already made a reservation in the restaurant," Olive said with a smile. Olive helped to pick up his coat, looking like a considerate wife. Liam put on his coat and walked out with Olive. When they passed the Design Department, Olive deliberately grabbed Liam''s arm and red at Abigail confidently. Abigail, who nned to go to lunch with Jane, saw this scene and met Olive''s provocative eyes. Abigail immediately looked away as if she didn''t mind it at all. She was really not interested in Olive''s provocation. However, Olive walked up to her with a smile. "Miss Swift." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Abigail replied with a smile. "Miss Miller." "How about having lunch with us?" Olive asked. Abigail smiled. "No, thanks. I''m afraid that I''ll feel ufortable if I have dinner with you. I''ve already made an appointment with my colleagues." Abigail smiled and looked at Jane. "Let''s go." Olive''s face went gloomy. Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Abigail''s words were really annoying, but Liam''s lips curled up into an imperceptible smile... "Ingrate!" Olive mumbled. She then turned to look at Liam and said coquettishly, "Liam, let''s go!" "Abigail, do you dislike Olive?" Jane asked. "No." "Then why did you refuse her invitation? Aren''t you afraid to offend her?" Jane asked worriedly. It was known that Olive was the heir of the Miller Group and Liam''s girlfriend. "Why should I be afraid? Can''t I refuse to eat with her?" Abigail asked. Besides, it wasn''t an invitation, but just a show-off. Why should Abigail show any respect to such a rude woman? "But, she''s Mr. Jones'' girlfriend. Aren''t you afraid that she''ll make things difficult for you?" Jane asked. Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "Girlfriend? Mr. Jones has been married and then divorced. He could dump his wife, not to mention a girlfriend. Besides, I will leave the Powerline Group sooner orter, anyway. It''s no big deal." Hearing Abigail''s words, Jane was stunned and then couldn''t helpughing. She had known Abigail for a while, and it wasn''t until today that Jane realized that Abigail was really a N?velDrama.Org owns this. buzzkill. "Abigail, you blow me away." She saidughably. "I''m telling the truth," Abigail said modestly with a smile on her lips. It was admitted that what she said just now really made her feel happy. Especially in front of Liam. At the very least, she had to let Olive know that she was not a pushover. In this world of the jungle, she was not a weakling, just disdaining to fight with Olive. Jane walked into the dining room with Abigail smiling and sat there after ordering the food. "Actually, I feel great when you say that." "What?" Abigail looked up at Jane after hearing this. "You don''t know, a lot of people in the design department don''t like her, but they don''t dare to say anything." Abigail ate and listened to Jane. After hearing this, she expressed willingness to listen respectfully. "Last time, a female colleague offended her. Olive said many dirty words, which made that colleague cry all day," Jane said. Hearing this, Abigail raised her eyebrow. "So, aside from being the Miller Group''s daughter and Mr. Jones''s girlfriend, she''s pretty annoying," Jane said. "Sure enough, annoying people were always like that." "Yeah, if it wasn''t for her background, she really wasn''t anything, but it was really great to hear what you said today." Listening to Jane, Abigail smiled. The two of them were eating when Jane looked at Abigail and said, "Why do I always feel that she''s targeting you?" Ever since Abigail joined thepany, Olive seemed to have never lost her temper with anyone else. Every time she saw Abigail, she always looked hideous. Chapter 71 Chapter 71 The people in the Design Department saw it and didn''t say anything. They would never offend anyone that could not be provoked. Abigail pondered for a while and said seriously, "Maybe she thinks that I''m prettier than her." Hearing this, Jane burst intoughter. Now, she thought that Abigail was not only eloquent, but also humorous. Although what she said was the truth, Jane found it funny. Abigail looked at her and asked as she ate, "Is it right?" Jane nodded repeatedly. "Abigail, I find out that I''m really fond of you." "Am I right?" "Of course." Jane nodded. She appreciated her confidence. Abigail smiled as well. Without saying anything more, the two of them continued eating. After this conversation, both Abigail and Jane felt that they were getting closer. They had a lot to talk about. After lunch, they went back to the office together. However, Liam and Olive were still having western food together. Liam remained silent at the table. Olive sat opposite him. For the first time, she felt that this man was being absent-minded when staying with her. "What are you thinking?" Olive asked, looking at him. "Nothing," Liam replied briefly and looked at her. "Why did you want me to eat lunch with you today?" Hearing this, Olive looked up and said, "I miss you so much. We used toe out every other day for lunch." Liam raised his eyebrows. For the first time, he felt that it was boring to sit with Olive, who talked about missing him and loving him all the time. Those words were meaningless. At this moment, Abigail''s face shed in his mind. ''What is she eating now?'' This is from N?velDrama.Org. The restaurant was the one where he and Abigail atest time. Last time, although they didn''t say much, he felt it was worth remembering. It was also interesting... Seeing that Liam didn''t care much about her, Olive felt even worried. "Liam." At this moment, Olive suddenly put down the knife and fork in her hand, reached out, and grabbed Liam''s hand. Looking at him sadly, she asked, "Liam, do you not love me anymore?" Looking at Olive, Liam thought about it and said, "What is that question for? Don''t think too much." "But why do I feel like you don''t pay attention to me now?" Olive asked worriedly. She hadn''t felt much before. But today, she felt more worried. Looking at Olive, Liam said, "I''ve been a little busytely." Olive blinked. "Really?" Liam nodded. Since Liam said so, Olive would believe it. She firmly believed that even if Liam lied to her, he still loved her. "All right. Eat up." Liam retracted his hand and patted hers. Olive smiled and nodded. "Okay." Then they continued to eat¡­ "By the way, Liam. Did my dad tell you about the cooperation between the Miller Group and the Powerline Group?" Olive asked. "Yes," Liam replied. "What do you think?" Olive asked. Liam looked up at Olive. That was why she was looking for him today. Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Thinking of this, Liam looked at her and said, "Without signatures, that plot could never be developed. So I want to wait for it for a while." He said very casually. "Isn''t it a piece of cake for you to have signatures on it?" Olive asked back with a smile. "No one knows how to proceed with the n. If there are any changes, we will be the only ones to lose, so let''s talk about itter." Liam said. He didn''t want to continue this conversation with her. Olive nodded and said, "Well, you can see to it with my dad. I won''t ask any more questions. I''m sure you two can handle it." Liam nodded, without too much emotion. Olive looked at him and suddenly something seemed to ur to her. She then said quickly, "By the way, my dad said that you haven''t joined us for meals in our house for a long time. He wants you to spare time for it." She looked at him in a manner of coquetry. Speaking of this, Liam frowned. He did not speak after a long time of silence, "Okay, I got it. I''ll arrange a proper time after thepetition." He said solemnly. He did not refuse the visit, but it was his own business to decide how to do it specifically. Hearing Liam says so, Olive was much relieved. "Okay, I''ll tell my dad." She said with a smile. Liam nced at her and said nothing more. A meal together helped Olive solve a lot of problems that had troubled her in her mind. When Liam sent Olive back, Olive took the opportunity and hugged him, "Liam, do you have time tonight?" She asked in a tender and sweet voice. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Seeing Olive this way, Liam knew what she meant exactly. But now, he had absolutely no mood for such sort of thing. "Well, I have two parties to attend tonight." Hearing this, Olive pouted with discontent. She then hugged his neck, "You haven''t been with me for a long time." "What''s wrong? Do you want it?" Looking at her, Liam raised his eyebrows and asked teasingly. After hearing Liam''s words, Olive blushed, "You naughty boy." It tacitly approved she did want sex. "When are you going to stay with me?" Olive looked at him and asked. The image of Abigail''s face shed in Liam''s mind again. ''Abigail perhaps will never behave like this. Damn! Why is her image always lingering in my mind?'' Seeing Olive''s hand moving around on his body, Liam interrupted, "Olive, it''s daytime." "Will you care about this?" Olive looked at him and asked in a mysterious and seductive manner. At this moment, Liam held Olive on her face, "Baby, now I have to go back to thepany for business. I''lle to see you another day." Chapter 73 Chapter 73 "But..." "Be good. Okay?" Olive could tell that he was firm. Afraid of upsetting him, Olive had to give up. "OK, remember to call me." "Sure." Liam nodded. So Olive leaned over and gave a kiss to Liam''s lips. "Then I''ll go back." "Take care." Olive got out of the car dejectedly. Seeing Olive get out of the car, Liam immediately drove away. Olive stood there, seeing Liam''s car disappearing out of view. The smile on her face gradually disappeared because she felt that Liam rejected her. When they were out of the office before, each of her seductions seeded, but now, he was cold and absent-minded when he was with her. At the thought of this, Olive had a feeling of inexplicable fear. She was about to lose him... N?velDrama.Org owns this. All this stemmed from one person¡ªAbigail! Olive''s hand tightened. ''Abigail, I''ll let you pay the price!'' Liam didn''t see Abigail when he returned to his office, his eyebrows subconsciously creasing. ''Where did she go?'' He sat in his seat and had a bad feeling. After a while, he made a phone call. "Ask Abigail toe to my office." "Okay." The secretary answered and went to Abigail. After a while, there was a knock at the door. Liam thought it was Abigail. He looked up. But it was the secretary who pushed the door open. "Mr. Jones, Miss Swift asked for leave." "Why?" Liam frowned. ''Why didn''t I know?'' "It''s said that she was a little ufortable, so she asked for leave and went back." The secretary said. Liam frowned at this. In the morning, he asked her if she wanted to take a leave of absence and go back to rest. She said that she didn''t need it. But now she simply took a sick leave. "Okay, I got it. You go out first." Liam said unhappily. The secretary nodded and left. Liam sat there, feeling something was wrong. After thinking about it, he finally picked up his phone and dialed Abigail''s number. But what came through the phone was, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is power off..." ''Power off? She doesn''t want to pick up my call?'' Liam frowned even more. ''What the hell!'' Liam was unhappy. But then he realized that perhaps Abigail was being jealous. If Abigail knew what Liam was thinking, she might say that he was insane. Abigail knew that Liam and Olive were going out for lunch, and he couldn''te back for a while. Even if he came back, he would go straight back to thepany. So she asked for leave and went straight to Liam''s house with a lot of fruits to visit Grace. But she didn''t expect Liam to call her on her way there. She decided not to answer. Chapter 74 Chapter 74 This ce was almost the same as two years ago. The nts in the courtyard were different, but the vi''s exterior decoration didn''t change at all. At this moment, when she once again stood at the gate of the vi, she had a different feeling. Two years ago, she might have had some resentment. When she left, she even had the idea to retaliate. But now, standing there again, she felt much more peaceful. The things that had happened two years ago were still vivid in her mind. She did not forget them, but her feelings towards them were no longer strong. Abigail took a deep breath, walked over, and rang the doorbell. Soon, the door was opened. "Grace." Seeing Grace, Abigail greeted her with a smile. Grace didn''t expect Abigail toe. "Mrs... well, Abigail." Grace greeted her happily, "Why are you here?" "I came to see you," Abigail said. "Come in,e in!" Grace said quickly. Grace has been in the Jones Family for nearly ten years. The people there respected her very much, so they asked her to take care of Liam. Even Liam, an arrogant man, had great respect for Grace. "Grace, this is for you." "Thanks, Abi. Come in!" Grace said happily. Abigail smiled and walked in. The interior decoration didn''t change, either. "This ce hasn''t changed a bit with Grace here," Abigail said with a smile. Grace smiled. "Have a seat. I''ll get you a ss of water!" This is from N?velDrama.Org. "I''m good, Grace." Abigail grabbed Grace''s hand and said, "I''m here to see you, and I have something to tell you. You don''t have to get me anything." Looking at Abigail, Grace nodded. Abigail told Grace everything about her current situation. Having heard this, Grace was a bit surprised, but not shocked. After all, Liam didn''t know what Abigail looked like when she left two years ago, so it was only reasonable that he couldn''t recognize her. But Grace didn''t expect that they would be so meant for each other that they would see each other two yearster in a way like this. I was also shocked when I saw you at thepany." Said Grace. Abigail smiled. "Grace, I know you have kept my two-year overseas life from him. Thank you." Hearing Abigail''s words, Grace smiled and said, "Fate still works in a sense." Even if Grace had told Liam what happened, nothing would have changed. Abigail went abroad two years ago, so during that time, he couldn''t find her. Now, they bumped into each other in thepany. How amazing fate was! Abigail knew what Grace meant. "So now, I still need you to keep it a secret for me." Grace nodded. "Yes, I know, but the truth wille to light sooner orter, so you have to be prepared for it." Abigail nodded. "OK, I got it." ''I''ll leave before Liam discovers it.'' Unexpectedly, her n would change so soon... After chatting with Grace for a while, Abigail left. Abigail was afraid that Liam would suddenlye back, so she did not dare to stay long. Chapter 75 Chapter 75 "Grace, take care." Grace nodded. "You too." Grace stood at the door, looking at Abigail''s back and shaking her head helplessly. ''What a kind girl! How could Liam not cherish her...'' Not long after Abigail left, the phone rang again. Well, it was her mean boss, Liam, again. "Hello..." Liam was just about to hang up because he had heard the sentence telling him that the phone was power off when he heard Abigail''s soft voice. He didn''t think much about it and said, "You finally answered the phone?" "Mr. Jones, what''s the matter?" Abigail asked directly. "Where are you?" "Home." "Aren''t you feeling well?" Liam asked. "No," Abigail gave a short reply. "What are you calling me for?" Abigail then asked. "Nothing. Just want to know how things are with your design." Abigail, "...Don''t worry, Mr. Jones. I''ll hand it in on schedule." "That''s good." "If you have nothing else to say, I''ll hang up." Liam held the phone and was very frustrated. For the first time, he met a woman who couldn''t wait to hang up on him. Liam was very unhappy... After hanging up the phone, Abigail felt veryfortable. Feeling sleepy again, she took a taxi back, washed up and went to bed. In the evening, Liam did not attend any party and went straight back. He rarely came back so early, which made Grace a little surprised. "Liam, have you eaten? Do you need me to cook for you?" "OK," Liam said intively, seeming to be in a bad mood. Sitting there, he suddenly saw a bag of fruit on the table. He frowned. "Did someonee today?" Hearing this, Grace was stunned, then quickly put the fruit away. "Yes, a rtive of mine came to see me today. I''ll cut the fruit for you to eat." With that, Grace quickly took the fruit to the kitchen. Liam sat there and said nothing... The next day. Abigail slept until dawn. After getting up, she drank some milk, ate a fried egg and ham, and went to work. Abigail paid attention to her lifestyle. Breakfast was a must every day. In the past two years, her life had be better. After breakfast, Abigail picked up her design and went to thepany. She had much to do for thepetition in the past few days, so she and Liam didn''t see each other very much. They were doing their own work. It was on thest day before the deadline today. The design must be delivered by the designer and the president of thepany. Moreover, it must be sealed up. "How is it going? Have you finished it?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Abigail nodded. "Yes." "Let''s go then." So, the two of them went to the ce Dennis had told. Abigail was in a good mood with the design in her hands. Until now, the oue of thepetition was no longer important to her. The most important thing was this design. Abigail felt that even if she couldn''t win the first ce, there must be someone liking her design. The thought of it shed much stress off her. Liam nced at Abigail and said, "Looks like you have confidence in your design." Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Hearing Liam''s words, Abigail smiled. "I don''t know what the result will be. I hope to give you a surprise with this design." "A surprise?" Liam frowned at Abigail''s words. ''Am I hearing her right? Is this the same woman named Abigail?'' ''Am I still in my dream?'' Liam secretly pinched on his leg, trying to figure out if it was reality. ''Ouch, that indeed hurts.'' Abigail didn''t notice his childish action at all. "What do you mean?" Liam looked at her and asked in a better mood. Abigail smiled. "Keep it a secret for now. You''ll know when it''s revealed." Liam didn''t force her to tell him. He raised his eyebrows and drove on. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Soon, they arrived at their destination. When Dennis heard that Abigail and Liam wereing, Dennis came downstairs to pick them up in person. "Mr. Jones, Miss Swift!" Dennis greeted them with a smile and shook hands with them. As he spoke, he went upstairs. "Miss Swift, how''s it going? Are you confident in thispetition?" Dennis looked at Abigail and asked. He was optimistic about Abigail''s design. Abigail smiled. "Well, I just drew the design that I like and that contains a story as you told. So I can''t tell if I will win. The final result is up to the judges." Dennis really appreciated Abigail''sposure. Abigail handed the design to Dennis, "There you go." Looking at the design wrapped in the file paper, Dennis took it and smiled. "Miss Swift, I look forward to your work." Abigail smiled and said nothing more. At this moment, Liam looked at Dennis. "How soon will the resulte out?" "In two days." Hearing this, Liam nodded. After talking for a while in the office, Liam and Abigail left. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a familiar person¡­ Abigail really felt that she had a special fate with Olive that they could meet here. If Olive wasn''t Liam''s girlfriend, Abigail might think that Olive was into her. Olive wore fluorescent high heels, gray pants, and a white suit. It was rare to see her wearing so formally. When Olive saw Abigail and Liam, she paused. She looked straight at Abigail and Liam. Though knowing that they woulde together, she still felt quite annoyed. Because they looked really a nice match together. A perfect match! Even though she didn''t want to admit it, it seemed to be the truth. Even so, Olive stood there, pretending as if nothing had happened. Liam looked at her and said, "Olive, why are you here?" Hearing Liam''s words, Olive smiled. At this time, Dennis came out and introduced, "She is one of the judges of ourpetition, the Miller Group''s daughter." ''One of the judges?'' Hearing this, Abigail and Liam were both a little surprised. However, Abigail stood there and did not speak. Although she didn''t think it was a coincidence. Liam also looked at Olive. "You''re the judge of thispetition? Why didn''t I know?" Olive smiled and asked in a gentle voice. "I was told to keep it a secret. It''s not that I didn''t mean to tell you. Liam, I know you can draw a clear line between your work and your personal life. You won''t be angry with me, right?" Liam looked at Olive and his eyes were straight. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Of course, I won''t." Chapter 77 Chapter 77 At this moment, Liam turned to look at Dennis with a smile. "Dennis, you don''t know about my rtionship with Olive?" Dennis frowned. "What?!" "The whole City A knows that she is my girlfriend." Liam seemed to announce it with gravity. Dennis was stunned. Olive didn''t know why Liam said that, but she was d to hear it from him. She thought it was a kind of recognition for her that Liam dared to say that she was his girlfriend in front of others. But she didn''t realize that Dennis was the only one that didn''t know about this. Abigail stood there all the time in silence with a smile on her face. Then, Liam smiled and shook Dennis''s hand. "If you have nothing else, we''re leaving now." At this moment, Liam walked over to Olive and said softly, "I trust you." With that, he smiled and walked out. Only Liam and Olive heard those words. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Dennis stood there, slightly stunned, but said nothing. After they left, Olive walked up to Dennis and greeted him. "Hi, Dennis." "Hi, Miss Miller." "How is it? Is everyone here?" Olive looked at him and asked. "They will be here soon. You came so early. I didn''t expect you to be so positive." Dennis said with a smile. Olive didn''t know if it was apliment or something. She smiled. "It''s what I should do." Then they walked inside. "Go inside and have a rest," Dennis told Olive. Olive nodded and was just about to leave when someone came over and said something in Dennis'' ear. Dennis nodded and turned to walk out. Olive saw Dennis leaving when she had just walked to the door of another VIP room. After she saw Dennis walking into the elevator, she then turned around and walked back. If she hadn''t seen it wrong, Liam and Abigail had juste out of this room. She didn''t see Dennis holding the document, so all the designs should be in it. With that in mind, Olive nced around. At this moment, there was no one. She pushed open the door, and walked into the room. When she walked in, she looked at the designs on the desk. ''Yes, all the designs are here.'' And Abigail''s was at the top. ''How lucky I am to get what I wanted so easily.'' So, Olive quickly opened the folder, took the designs out, and looked at them. In fact, she didn''t know much about design. She just thought Abigail''s design was pretty. If she took it away, they might ask Abigail to hand it over again, and Dennis would find out. If she destroyed it, someone would investigate who had done this. Then what should she do? Olive felt a little nervous. At this moment, she saw a card inside. Her lips curled up into an evil smile. She took out the card directly, put the design back to its original ce, and tied the folder again. When she reached the door and saw that no one had returned, she opened the door and walked out. When she just got out, someone came over. "Miss Miller, what are you doing here?" Chapter 78 Chapter 78 At this moment, one employee asked. Hearing the voice, Olive was startled. She turned to look at that person and smiled. "I''m OK. I''m looking for the restroom. Where''s it?" Olive asked, pretending to be calm. "Oh, right over there." The employee pointed at the restroom. Olive nodded. Afraid of being seen through, she went straight there. Olive breathed a sigh of relief when she reached the restroom. Looking at the card in her hand, she smiled coldly and threw it away. "Abigail, I will make sure you can''t stay in City A anymore. Without this card, your design is just a piece of sh*t. Let''s see how you exin it to Liam." As she spoke, Olive''s lips curved. After washing her hands, she turned to leave. And that card was thrown on the ground. Not long after she left, the door of one toilet was pushed open and a woman came out. Obviously, she had heard Olive''s words just now. At this time, she saw the card on the ground and then slowly walked over. She bent over and picked it up... Abigail and Liam walked out and got into the car directly. Neither of them expected that Olive would be one of the judges this time, which was quite surprising. Liam was driving and did not speak. Abigail looked at him and saw that he did not mean to speak. Abigail simply did not speak. The two of them remained silent. At this moment, Liam turned around. "Don''t you have anything to say?" Hearing Liam''s words, Abigail was stunned. "Well, Mr. Jones'' girlfriend is one of the judges. I don''t think I''m going to win." "What do you mean?" "What does she mean, you should say.." Abigail corrected. Liam didn''t answer this time. He was afraid that Olive would devalue Abigail''s work because Olive had repeatedly made things difficult for her. So just now, he told that to Dennis deliberately to remind him. As a result, no matter whether Olive would judge Abigail''s work or not, Dennis would fairly grade it. Only that stupid Olive thought that Liam was announcing their rtionship. Of course, Abigail didn''t think that Liam was doing it for her good. He was doing it for the reputation of the Powerline Group. If she didn''t get a ce in thepetition, the Powerline Group would be discredited. Abigail really felt that Liam was so smart that Olive was no match for him. It wasn''t that Abigail knew much about Liam but she just knew what Liam meant by looking at Dennis''s expression. Liam nced at Abigail and said, "Actually, don''t worry too much. The judges'' scores only make up 30 % of the final decision." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Abigail raised an eyebrow. "I''m not worried." Actually, she was worried. But when she saw Olive, she miraculously calmed down. No matter what the result was and whatever Olive would do to her work, she could ept any result. Moreover, she believed that the result of thepetition wasn''t majorly decided by Olive alone. Even if Olive didn''t like her, she had to consider Liam''s reputation. But she didn''t expect that Olive was that stupid. Hearing Abigail''s words, Liam turned around and nced at her. He miraculously calmed down when looking at her smile. Chapter 79 Chapter 79 "Then let''s just wait. The result wille out soon." Liam said. So neither of them said anything more. The car was driving on the road and soon arrived at the Powerline Group. They then got busy with their own business. The next day. When Abigail arrived at thepany, Liam called her to his office. "Abigail, are you sure that you''ve prepared everything for the design?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked. Judging by Liam''s expression, Abigail knew something went wrong. "One hundred percent." Abigail looked at Liam and said with certainty. "I got a call from Dennis. Your detail card is missing." Liam said. Abigail was taken aback when she heard this, she then immediately said, "I put the detail card together with the design. I have put all inside." Abigail said with absolute certainty. Seeing that Abigail was so confident, Liam frowned and became silent, as if he was pondering something. "Only the card is missing?" Abigail asked. Liam nodded. "If I write another copy now, is it possible to submit it?" Abigail looked at Liam calmly and asked. Abigail had a bad feeling that something would go wrong after seeing Olive yesterday. And it became true now. So she wasn''t hurried at all. Liam shook his head. "The time has been due." "Mr. Jones, I''m sorry, I don''t know how thingse to this, but I did put the exnation card inside. If it brings out the diminishing in ourpany and great losses, I''m willing to be punished." Listening to Abigail, Liam looked up and nced at her. Abigail just stood there and exhibited such calmness as if she had expected it a long time before. "I''ll figure out a way to handle it. You can leave now." Liam said. "OK!" Abigail nodded and turned to leave. Abigail believed that Liam could understand her meaning, even though she didn''t speak it out. However, thinking of the exnation card, Abigail sneered. ''It was absolutely Olive who did it. She''s really put a lot of effort.'' This day, Abigail was busy with her work and did not ask about thepetition at all. Of course, she was worried. After all, it was her dream. But keeping worried would make no difference to the current situation. So she just let nature take its course. Besides, Liam was there to handle it. He hadn''te back yet after leaving thepany. No one in thepany, except for Liam and Abigail, knew it. Otherwise, they would admire Abigail for herposure. In fact, she had been prepared for the worst result¡­ T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. After a few days, the result of thepetition finally came out. All the designers must be present and wait for their own grades. There were over 20 designers in total. Abigail didn''t expect any good grades because she knew her exnation card had been lost. So she just casually nced around in the crowd, and suddenly, caught a glimpse of a familiar white- skinned, blue-eyed woman¡ªAlexia. Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Alexia, in a white shirt and ck trousers, with her yellow hair tied behind her head, looked quite capable. This is from N?velDrama.Org. At this moment, she walked to the podium and announced the result. The second and third runners-up were announced respectively. And next, it was the winner. Alexia announced loudly, "Abigail Swift." Hearing her name, Abigail stood up in a daze. "I''m here." "Miss Swift, can you exin your design concept?" Alexia said. Abigail paused. In order to respect the design, Abigail decided to tell the story behind the design. "Actually, I want to give this design to an old man." Hearing her words, everyone turned to Abigail. "I was inspired by his story. He''s an ordinary man who worked as a housekeeper. He had an outstanding son who studied overseas. Unfortunately, such a promising young man died in a car ident. What he left behind was only the bracelet that he got from his father before going abroad!" "Now the old man is clouded in mind. He always holds the bracelet, which indicates his missing for his son. So I came up with this design named Pense, which means "missing" in English." Every word stunned Alexia. Alexia took a deep look at Abigail. After saying that, Abigail turned to look at Alexia. "This is my design concept. Although it''s a simple story, I believe that people who can understand it will have the same feeling." After Abigail finished speaking, Alexia kept silent and looked at her. In fact, Alexia was the leading organizer of thispetition, and it was she who could make the final decision. As time passed by, no one spoke. Abigail stood there and looked at Alexia calmly. In the end, it was Olive who couldn''t stand it. Olive didn''t expect Alexia to let Abigail exin it in person. "Miss Swift, you don''t even have an exnation card. So as a matter of fact, you''ve already lost this "Miss Swift, what if I buy your work with a million dors?" At this moment, Alexia suddenly spoke. Alexia''s words stunned everyone, including Abigail. She didn''t expect Alexia to say that. Olive waspletely confused by her jaw-dropping words. Alexia''s words undoubtedly gave her a heavy p on the face. At this moment, Alexia came down from the stage and walked slowly towards Abigail. "I''ll buy your work. What do you think?" She also gave a deep look at Olive. Chapter 81 Chapter 81 "But I want to give this design to..." "No problem." Just as Abigail was about to speak, Liam''s voice suddenly sounded behind her. Abigail was stunned and turned around. At this moment, Liam came over and went straight to them. He looked at Alexia and said, "Of course no problem." Abigail frowned and looked up at Liam, but Liam gave her a reassuring look. "If you like it, we''ll give it to you, Alexia." Hearing this, Alexia turned to look at Liam. "Okay." Finally, Alexia said. Then she turned around and announced, "The winner this time is Abigail of the Powerline Group." Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Of course, there were a lot of discussions. At this moment, Olive was a little dissatisfied and immediately said, "Ms. Alexia, Abigail''s exnation card is missing. It doesn''t conform to the rules of thepetition. How could she win the championship?" After hearing Olive''s words, Alexia took a nce at her. "It seems that you''re the host of this Hearing this, Olive looked embarrassed, "I''m just saying fair words for all the contestants." "Do you say fair words for others, or do you feel dissatisfied with your own selfish intentions?" "Alexia, what do you mean by that?" At this moment, Alexia did not speak, but her assistant said, "Who said Miss Swift''s exnation card is missing? It''s always been here." After that, she took out Abigail''s exnation card. When Abigail saw the card, she nced at Liam. ''What the hell is going on?'' At this moment, Alexia looked at Olive, "Miss Miller, you''d bettere up with a perfect n when doing something terrible in the future." Her words caused an uproar. Olive''s look was even more embarrassed. She didn''t expect Alexia to say that in public. Dennis, who had been at one side, knew what had happened now. ording to him, Abigail should not be so sloppy. That was the truth. "Ms. Alexia, what do you mean by that?" Olive looked at Alexia and asked. Alexia didn''t bother to reply to her, but her assistant said, "Miss Miller, during thepetition, there are surveince cameras in every office, even in the hallway. This time, Alexia won''t pursue this matter this time. You''d better not continue to ask further." In an instant, Olive was stunned. She forgot about the surveince cameras. At this moment, the audience looked at her with strange expressions. Olive took a nce at Liam and didn''t know what to say. After announcing the champion, Alexia did not say anything more and turned to leave. Her assistant looked at Liam and said. "Alexia will go to yourpany to discuss the design in detail some other day." Liam nodded. Then the assistant turned to look at Abigail and thought for a while, "Miss Swift, congrattions." Abigail raised a brief smile. The assistant said again, "You''re a very smart woman." Only the three of them would understand this. This is from N?velDrama.Org. "It''s just a coincidence," Abigail said calmly, not impetuously. Chapter 82 Chapter 82 The assistant smiled and left without saying anything more. The yers who didn''t win the match left the field in a huff. The second and third winners didn''t say anything. They all left. At this moment, Dennis walked towards them. "Congrattions, Miss Swift." Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "Thank you!" "I admire your design and your courage," Dennis said. Abigail smiled. "It''s just a coincidence." "I said that only works with stories will resonate. You are very brilliant." Dennis praised sincerely. "Thank you, Dennis." N?velDrama.Org owns this. If it weren''t for Dennis, maybe she would have drawn a work only on impulse instead of drawing inspiration from that sentence. "You are wee. This is all your own work." Dennis said. "Okay. I won''t talk to you anymore. I still have things to deal with. See you." "See you." "Goodbye, Mr. Jones." After everyone had left, Olive came over, took a look at Abigail, and then looked at Liam awkwardly. "Liam..." Looking at Olive, Liam didn''t even have any expression. "Liam, did you misunderstand me?" Hearing Olive''s words, Liam raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How?" Olive knew that Liam must have misunderstood something. She immediately walked over. "I don''t know why Alexia said that. She must have misunderstood me." "Really?" Liam smiled indifferently. At this moment, Abigail stood aside, looking a little embarrassed. "Well, Mr. Jones, excuse me. I''ll go back to thepany first." Abigail was about to leave. "Wait." Abigail had just turned around when Liam''s voice sounded behind her. Therefore, she had to stop her footsteps. She was trapped there. "Let''s go back together." Liam turned around. At this moment, Olive grabbed him. "Liam..." The look on her face was full of fear of losing him. Liam nced at her. "I have something to do back at the office. I''ll talk to you another day." As he spoke, he took Olive''s hand off and left. "Liam! Liam..." Olive shouted from behind, but Liam didn''t even turn around. Abigail looked away and sighed. She was afraid that Olive would hate her for that. But this time, Olive went too far. If she were Olive, she wouldn''t do it because it would ruin the reputation of the Powerline Group. A man like Liam, who was very career-minded, would never joke about thepany''s future. Therefore, Olive probably broke his bottom line this time. Sometimes, people were easily blinded and did something unforgivable. "Hurry up." At this moment, Liam''s voice sounded behind her. Abigail finally remembered to follow closely behind him and walked up. She could feel the sharp gaze behind her, wanting to cut her into pieces. Abigail was a little suspicious that Liam used her as a tool to avoid talking with Olive. ''What did that have to do with me?'' Chapter 83 Chapter 83 After getting in the car, Abigail looked at Liam''s side face and asked tentatively, "Mr. Jones, is it improper to do that?" "Improper? How?" "Because we left Miss Miller there alone!" Abigail asked. To be honest, seeing Liam leave so decisively, she felt pity for Olive. Hearing this, Liam nced at her. "Then how about you go back and apany her?" Abigail felt speechless. "Aren''t you angry that she took your detailed design card?" Liam looked at her and asked. Abigail nodded. "Of course I am!" ''Really?'' But Liam didn''t see any traces of anger on Abigail''s face. "But what''s the use of being angry?" Abigail said, "Just let it go. It''s better to calm down and ept any ident." T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Liam smiled coldly at her words. "If you didn''t win the championship today, would you still say that?" He didn''t believe that this woman was really not angry at all. Abigail thought about it seriously and turned to look at Liam. "To be honest, if it wasn''t for you, I don''t think Olive would have done that either." "You mean I am to me?!" Liam raised his eyebrows and asked. "I''m just telling the truth." Ultimately, Olive had done that because of Liam. If it wasn''t for him, how could Olive be so hostile to her? "Miss Swift, it takes two to tango!" Abigail suddenly fell silent. Somehow, there was a romantic aura around them when they talked about this topic. Looking at Abigail being silent, Liam curled up his lips. At this moment, Abigail suddenly remembered something. "Did you give the card to Alexia?" "No." Liam shook his head. "Then..." ''Was it already lost?'' ''Why was it with Alexia?'' "Dennis said Alexia''s assistant found the card in the toilet," Liam said. Hearing this, Abigail was surprised. "Then it seems that this assistant is my life saver," Abigail said with a smile. In fact, she did not expect such a result. When she went there, she thought being there showed her respect for all the participants and didn''t expect the champion to be herself. Winning thispetition would be helpful to her design career. Thinking of this, Abigail took a deep breath and felt rxed. At this moment, Abigail''s cell phone rang. Abigail pulled out her phone, but when she saw the caller ID, she quickly covered the screen. Liam saw it, but said nothing as if he didn''t see it. Abigail didn''t want to answer it, but the person kept calling. She had no choice but to answer it. "Hello..." "Congrattions, Abi, you won!" Jacob said on the phone. "You''ve known it?" Abigail asked in surprise. Chapter 84 Chapter 84 "As long as it''s about you, I''m the first to know," Jacob said with a smile. Abigail smiled. With Liam beside her, she didn''t dare to call Jacob brother. "Well, I''m on my way back to thepany with Mr. Jones. I''ll call you after I arrive at thepany." Hearing this, Jacob was stunned and got her hint. "Are you with Liam?" "Yes," Abigail nodded. Jacob was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Okay, I got it. I''ll wait for your call." "Sure." Abigail nodded and hung up. After hanging up the phone, Abigail quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Liam did not respond. "Is it Jacob''s call?" Liam suddenly raised an eyebrow. "Yes!" Abigail nodded. Liam certainly didn''t hear anything unusual from the brief conversation. "He was quite well-informed." Liam could hear their conversation clearly. ''He called her Abi...'' At the thought of it, Liam sneered. "How long have you been dating?" Abigail froze, not expecting him to ask this question. "Mr. Jones, this is my privacy. Why should I tell you?" Abigail said, not wanting to say much to Liam. ''Privacy? Humph, you''re really something.'' Liam snorted in his heart. Abigail suddenly felt that the temperature in the car had dropped by several degrees. Liam didn''t ask any more questions, but just sped up the car. Abigail looked at his gloomy face. "Mr. Jones, this is not an expressway. Why are you driving so fast?" "It''s none of your business!" Liam said. Looking at his sullen face, Abigail stopped talking. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Soon, they arrived at thepany. Abigail immediately get off the car and said politely, "Mr. Jones, I''m going back to work," Liam sat in the car and looked at Abigail''s back with a deep frown... The news of Abigail winning the championship had already been spread in the wholepany. As soon as Abigail went in, all the colleagues in the Design Department gathered around to congratte her. Some colleagues even bought colored ribbons. "Abigail, congrattions on winning the championship." Jane walked forward and said first. Looking at them, she said, "You all know?" "Of course," Jane said. Abigail smiled. She hadn''t been in thepany long, but she still got along well with many employees. At least, she never put on airs, but no one dared to bully her. "Abigail, I didn''t expect you to win the championship for ourpany very soon. You''re so great!" "Just by luck," Abigail said modestly. Modesty was always the best way to close the gap between people. "Don''t be modest. You won the championship. This is an honor for ourpany. Mr. Jones will definitely hold a party to celebrate. You will be in the spotlight at the party." Jane said with a smile. Chapter 85 Chapter 85 "Ah? Is there a party?" Abigail asked. "Yes, we hold it every year!" Hearing this, Abigail was surprised, then smiled and said nothing. Everyone was gossiping over there. At that time, Liam walked in and saw Abigail surrounded as soon as he entered. When they saw Liam, everyone greeted, "Hello, Mr. Jones!" Liam nodded and said nothing. At this moment, Jane said, "Mr. Jones, Abigail has won the championship. Is there any reward for her?" Speaking of this, Liam paused for a moment and then said, "Everyone will be wee at tomorrow night''s reception." With that, Liam turned around and left. Everyone was stunned. Asking about the reward for Abigail, Mr. Jones said... Then everyone went back to work. Abigail was still shocked by what happened today, but she was also in a good mood. At the very least, she had achieved her dream! Abigail wanted to start working, but then she remembered that she had to call Jacob back, so she immediately went out. "Hey, brother," Abigail greeted on the phone. "You''re at thepany?" Jacob asked. "Positive." Abigail nodded. "Congrattions, you won the champion," Jacob said sincerely. N?velDrama.Org owns this. "Thank you, brother," Abigail said. "I always know your talent. How abouting out tonight to celebrate?" "Sure!" Abigail nodded. "Well, let''s meet at the same ce. Do you want me to pick you up?" "No, I''ll go by myself," Abigail said. "Okay!" "By the way, bring Tina with you," Abigail said with a smile. Jacob paused and nodded. "Okay, I got it." "Well, then see you soon." "OK!" The phone was hung up and Abigail sat there in a very good mood. By the time it was time to get off work, Abigail had gone straight ahead. After confirming the ce, Abigail went straight over. By the time she arrived, Tina and Jacob already arrived. "Abi, this way!" Tina waved and shouted. When she saw them, Abigail walked straight over. "Brother, I''m sorry for beingte. There''s a traffic jam on the road." "It''s okay. Just pay the bill!" Tina said with a smile. "No problem!" Abigail said happily. "I''m happy now. I''ll treat you." "Look, it''s nice to win a big prize," Tina said with a smile. "Of course." Abigail smiled and raised her forehead. Only when she was with Tina would she be as a child. "Cool!" Tina smiled and immediately reached out her hand. "Well, congrattions! My Abi is the best." Abigail also reached out and hugged her. Jacob sat across from them and smiled at them. Abigail looked at Jacob. "Brother, have you ordered something?" "Yes, your brother really loves you. He knows what you like to eat." Tina said. Chapter 86 Chapter 86 From her words, Abigail could hear a hint of admiration. Abigail smiled. "Of course, he''s my brother." "Yes, your brother," Tina said. Abigail smiled and said nothing. Then she looked at Jacob. "Brother, do you have something to tell me?" "Congrattions." "Nothing else?" Abigail asked. After knowing Jacob for so many years, she could sense that something was wrong with him. Just as Jacob was about to say something, the waiter came up and looked at them, "Hello, your dinner is ready." So, Abigail leaned back a little and asked the man to serve. When it was done, the waiter retreated. Abigail looked at the food and said, "I''m really hungry." "Then let''s start to eat." Jacob looked at her and said thoughtfully. Abigail then began to enjoy the delicious food. "By the way, did you have something to say just now?" Abigail suddenly raised her head and asked. After thinking for a while, Jacob finally decided to say, "Abigail, you have already won the championship. Don''t you want to resign ande back to mypany to help me?" Jacob asked. Abigail was stunned. "Brother, I have no experience in business management. That''s not my major." Abigail said. "It''s okay. You just need to help me." Jacob said. "Brother, can you give me some more time?" Abigail asked. She really didn''t want to go back to their If she went back now, her family background would be exposed. "But you''ve been at the Powerline Group, and Liam will figure it out sooner orter," Jacob said. "I know that. If you are afraid that Liam will know my secret, I can go to anotherpany, but I really don''t want to go back." Abigail said. Jacob frowned and looked at Abigail. It was the first time he had asked Abigail to do something. Tina was eating the food while observing them. She thought for a while and said, "Actually, Abi wanted to resign before. It was all because of me that she joined the Powerline Group again." After hearing Tina''s words, Jacob looked at Tina. So, Tina told Jacob everything. Jacob frowned, "Why didn''t you tell me before?" "I forgot it back then," Tina said. "Brother, even if you can help me, I won''t tell you," Abigail said rationally. Two years ago, she had finally settled the matter between the Swift Group and Liam''spany. How could she let Jacob have a problem with Liam in this matter again? "Abigail!" "Brother, I have ns. It''s only a matter of time before I go home. But with you in thepany, I could be relieved." Abigail looked at Jacob and said word by word. Looking at Abigail''s determined look, Jacob couldn''t say anything. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Abigail had been very self-opinionated since she was a child, and no one could control her. Now that she had said so, Jacob could not say anything more. He did not want to ruin their rtionship because of these things. After thinking about it, Jacob nodded in agreement, "Well, since you said that, I believe in you and I''ll support you." Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Hearing Jacob''s words, Abigail smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. Don''t worry. I''ll be fine." "OK!" Jacob had no choice but to nod. "All right. All right. Let''s eat." At this moment, Tina said, not wanting to talk about those topics. Therefore, the three of them ate andughed. After dinner, Jacob sent them back. Abigail said she had something to do, so she asked them to send her back first. Jacob had no choice but to send Abigail away. At the entrance of the neighborhood, Abigail got out of the car and looked at them. "Brother, you must send Tina back safely." Jacob nodded. After a few drinks at night, Tina got drunk as she was a bad drinker. "Okay, be careful on the way. I''ll go up first." Abigail said. "Abigail." Suddenly, Jacob shouted and immediately pushed open the door and got off. Hearing the sound, Abigail turned around and looked at Jacob. At this time, Jacob came towards her. "What''s wrong, brother?" Looking at Abigail''s gaze, Jacob frowned. "You..." "Hmm?" After looking at Abigail for a long time, Jacob didn''t know what to say. In the end, he only said a few words, "Be cautious about Olive." Hearing this, Abigail frowned. "What''s wrong?" "Listen to me, think for yourself," Jacob instructed. Seeing that Jacob looked serious, Abigail didn''t ask any more questions and nodded. "Yes, I know." "Okay, go up!" Jacob said. Abigail nodded. "Good night!" "Night!" "Take good care of Tina!" After that, Abigail turned around and went upstairs. Jacob stood there and watched Abigail go upstairs, unable to regain his senses. Unable to see Abigail''s figure, he turned around and got in the car. At this time, Tina was sitting in the back. She was slightly drunk. Jacob looked at her through the rear view mirror. All night, Abigail had been trying to set him up with Tina. How could he not feel it? But his heart had been upied by someone else¡­ His lips curled into a bitter smile. He then drove the car away. After Abigail went upstairs, she walked to the balcony and watched the car leave before her lips curled up... She knew that Tina liked Jacob very much and that was all she could do. Thinking of this, she turned to take a bath. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Just as she was about to go to bed after her bath, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Abigail frowned. ''Why does he call me sote?'' Abigail picked it up."Hello, Mr. Jones." "What are you doing?" Liam asked. "Get ready to sleep." "Are you at home?" Chapter 88 Chapter 88 "Or else?" Abigail asked. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Hearing this, Liam was stunned. "OK. I just want to tell you that Alexia ising to thepany tomorrow. You''d bettere earlier." "Got it." "Remember to bring a dress for the reception tomorrow night," Liam instructed. "OK!" "Then good night!" After that, Liam hung up. Abigail looked at the phone and frowned. Why did she feel something strange? Without thinking too much, she put her phone on the table andy down to sleep. This night, she slept very well. When she woke up, the sun was shining brightly. Abigail stood in front of the french window and stretched herself. She had the urge to get dolled up. So, she turned around and chose an outfit that she thought was not bad. A light yellow dress, a pair of yellow heels of three inches. She then curled her long, slightly curly hair, making it very wavy. She then put on light and delicate makeup. Looking at herself with the pink lips in the mirror, Abigail was very satisfied. She made a simple breakfast and went to work after eating. She didn''t know if it was because she was in a good mood or because the weather was good today. She found everyone was happy. Abigail suddenly felt that she liked this kind of life very much. The life which she could work from nine to five, feel fulfilled by doing her work, and have the time to smell the fragrance of flowers, without getting too caught up in the joys and sorrows of life. She went upstairs and found it was still five minutes before work should be officially started. "Wow, Abigail, you look a little different today!" Jane said with a smile when she saw Abigail. Abigail raised an eyebrow. "How?" "You look beautiful. And you are all dressed up." She said while smiling. Abigail smiled, too. "I was born to be so beautiful. There''s nothing I can do about it!" Looking at Abigail''s confident look, Jane also smiled. At this time, the elevator door opened, and they heard heavy footsteps. It was Liam. Following behind him was his assistant who was busy reporting to him. As soon as Liam walked in, he saw Abigail at the desk. He had to say that she was dressed very nicely today. She usually wore a pair of ankle-length pants, or white suits, which were all of the light colors. Today, she was wearing a yellow dress, which made her look very beautiful. As if sensing Liam''s gaze, Abigail also looked up. The two of them looked at each other. The next second, Liam shifted his gaze and continued to walk inside. Abigail looked away and began to work. Today, Abigail was in a good mood, but she was surprisingly busy. At nearly ten in the morning, Alexia and her assistant arrived. Seeing hering, Abigail had to stop her work to make some arrangements. In the VIP room, Alexia looked at Liam. "Mr. Jones, are you serious about what you said thest time?" "Of course." Liam nodded. "I don''t want to change Miss Swift''s original intention. It will still be named after her. I only have one request." Alexia said. Abigail stood there and nced at Liam. "I''m listening." "I don''t want to change anything about this design, but I want to buy it, and I don''t allow anyone to sell it again," Alexia said. Chapter 89 Chapter 89 "Of course, the designer of this work is still Abigail." Hearing this, Liam smiled. "Okay, no problem." At this moment, Alexia looked at Abigail and said, "What about you, Miss Swift?" "If Ms. Alexia likes it, I want to give it to you, instead of selling it to you." Abigail''s words surprised everyone. Alexia was also stunned. She looked at Abigail in disbelief. Everyone knew that Alexia''s offer was not a small sum. "Are you sure?" "Of course." Abigail nodded. "Although my design inspiration came from that old man, it was because of you that I got this design idea." Hearing this, Alexia suddenly frowned. ''Because of me? What did she mean by that?'' "I know the old man has a simr experience with you. Your son is a very good jewelry designer. He once wanted to design a piece for you, but unfortunately, a car ident happened to himter. Although I do not know what kind of work your son wanted to design for you, I believe he must love you very much." Abigail added. The entire VIP room fell into a dead silence. Alexia indeed had an excellent son. But no one dared to mention it in front of Alexia so long after his son''s death. Abigail was the first person. Even Alexia''s assistant was a little frightened. "How do you know that?" Alexia looked at Abigail and asked. "It was sensational before. It''s not hard to find it." Abigail said truthfully. Alexia looked at Abigail and she said after a long time, "Thank you." Hearing her words, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. "Leo is indeed a very filial child and an excellent designer!" As Alexia said, all the words spread the missing feeling for Leo. "I''m sure Leo wants you to have a good rest sometimes. He loves you." Abigail said. Alexia turned around and smiled. In fact, Alexia was a very beautiful woman, but because of her son''s death, she had always been tense and grim-faced. "Thank you!" Alexia said sincerely. Abigail smiled too. Liam stood aside, "Since Miss Swift said so, then this is yours." Alexia looked at Liam and said, "Mr. Jones, you can talk to my assistant and sign the cooperation contract when you''re avable." Hearing this, Liam raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "Okay, no problem." "But I want Abigail to be the designer this time," Alexia said. Hearing this, Abigail and Liam were stunned. Abigail didn''t know what case they were talking about. But if she refused, it would be a little impolite. But if she didn''t refuse, she wouldn''t be able to leave the Powerline Group. However, Liam had already agreed when she was hesitant about it. Chapter 90 Chapter 90 "Well, we can make an appointment another day and then sign the contract!" "OK!" "Then I''m leaving now." Liam nodded, then picked up Abigail''s design script and gave it to Alexia. After they left, Abigail looked back at Liam. Abigail let out a sigh of relief. In fact, when she said those words just now, she was nervous. After all, it was rude to reveal others'' painful past, but Abigail still risked it. Fortunately, she won! "Are you nervous?" Liam raised his eyebrow at Abigail. "Aren''t you?" Abigail asked. Liam narrowed his eyes. "Miss Swift, aren''t you ying fair? Why did you find out the information about Alexia?" Seeing Liam approach, Abigail retreated. "I just did some investigation. I came up with the design concept and drew the work. Is it unfair?" Liam smiled. "Nonsense." "That''s the truth." Abigail took the opportunity to push Liam away. This man always liked to lean towards her. Liam nodded, "She offered a million dors to buy your work, but you just gave it to her for free. Miss Swift, you''re so generous." Abigail smiled and announced word by word, "Just one million. Besides, I didn''t n to sell the work at all. I believe my name will be more valuable than the item in the future." What she said was the truth. As long as Abigail''s design rights were retained, this item would be far more valuable than any jewelry in the future. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Besides, Alexia was a noble from abroad, and she would definitely make the most of the value of this jewelry, which was also what Liam wanted. "Besides, I got you a contract back, didn''t I?" Abigail asked. Although she didn''t know what they were talking about, she made some contributions. Liam smiled and nced at her. "You''d better be less smart." "It''s not likable!" Liam added. Hearing this, Abigail smiled and said, "You don''t like me, anyway. So why should I act as you want?" Liam''s brows shot up. At this moment, Abigail smiled. "Mr. Jones, I''m leaving now if you have nothing else to say." "Wait!" Liam said suddenly as Abigail reached the door. "What''s up?" Abigail asked. "Are you going to wear this to the party tonight?" Liam asked, his eyes fixed on her. Abigail looked down at her clothes. "Yes. Can''t I?" "You''ll know if it''s okay tonight!" Liam opened his mouth but did not say much, leaving her confused. Abigail frowned at his words. Chapter 91 Chapter 91 "By the way, you need to give a speech then! Good luck!" Liam said. ''Speech?'' "Get cold feet?" Liam asked teasingly. She smiled confidently, "I''m just tired of delivering speeches." After that, she turned to leave with a provocative smile on her face. Looking at Abigail''s back, Liam smiled and walked out. It was true that people in the upper ss were extravagant. The victory party was so extravagant. It was held in Liam''s hotel. When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, the Powerline Group was very lively. The wholepany was celebrating, and almost everyone was excited. Men and women changed their clothes into suits and evening dresses respectively at thepany. Except for Abigail. She now understood what Liam meant that day. At this moment, Jane came over and looked at Abigail. "Abigail, you don''t bring a dress?" Abigail nodded. "Yeah." "You''re going to wear that at the party?" Jane asked. Abigail looked at herself and asked, "Can''t I?" In fact, she didn''t care too much about what she wore. "It''s not that you can''t. It''s just... You''ll be in the spotlight at the party, anyway. Do you really want to get dressed so inly?" Jane said. "inly?" Abigail asked again and smiled. "I think it is fine." "Abigail, you really like to keep a low profile," Jane said. Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail smiled. "I''m dressed so inly, and you guys are dressed so nicely. Maybe I can stand out from the rest of you." Abigail joked. Her words also made Janeugh. "Keeping a low profile is the best way to show off!" Abigail said jokingly. She always had her reasons. Jane smiled and said nothing. At this moment, someone called at the door. "Excuse me. Who is Miss Abigail Swift?" "I am." Abigail subconsciously answered when she heard someone calling her name. When the man saw Abigail, he immediately walked over and said, "Your package." It was a big box. At that time, all the female colleagues in the Design Department looked over. "This is?" "I don''t know. A gentleman booked it for you." The man said. Hearing this, Abigail frowned, but still signed for it. The man put down the box and left. Abigail looked at the box and opened it. "Wow..." As soon as the box was opened, the people around it eximed. Inside was a dress. It was sapphire blue. It looked extremely noble. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Even Abigail was surprised. "Abigail, who knows you so well as to send you a dress?" Jane looked at the dress and said. Several colleagues came over out of curiosity. "I don''t know." With that, Abigail put the lid aside, picked up the dress, and looked at it. It was a slim-cut sapphire blue dress of one-shoulder style. It looked very beautiful. "You don''t know? How can you not know? Is it your boyfriend?" One female colleague asked. Abigail frowned. "I don''t have a boyfriend!" Her words surprised all the colleagues of the Design Department. "Then it must be a man who wants to woo you!" The colleague guessed. "No matter who sends this, go try it on." One woman suggested. Abigail felt a little weird to wear the dress sent by a stranger, but amidst those excited women, she seemed to have no choice but to go to the restroom to put it on. Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Looking at herself in the mirror, Abigail was a little surprised. Who exactly sent it to her? The person even knew her size clearly. When she put it on, the size fit her well, and... The sapphire blue color showed off her porcin skin. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. By the time she walked out, Abigail had already pinned her curly hair aside, so she looked even nobler. The colleagues of the design department stood there and said in unison, "Wow!" Looking at them, Abigail smiled. "Come on. You make me shy." "Abigail, you''re so beautiful, really." Jane couldn''t help but say. Several colleagues nodded in agreement. "Wow, who has such good taste? Honestly, you really don''t know?!" Jane looked at Abigail and asked. Abigail immediately raised her hand. "Swear to God, I really don''t know!" As she spoke, Abigail touched it and said, "I don''t know who sent it, so it''s a little weird to put it on!" Looking at Abigail''s expression, Jane smiled. As a result, these women chatted andughed in the design department for a long time. In the afternoon, a car specially sent them to the party. Only when Abigail arrived there did she know what Liam meant. The entire hotel was booked, and it was extravagant. It was a self-service hotel, and the interior decoration was also luxurious. When they arrived, there were many cars parked at the door. At first, Abigail thought there would only be people from thepany, but it seemed not to be like that. Moreover, since Liam always conducted himself in a low profile but worked in a high profile, he would not be so stingy in terms of holding a party. Abigail sometimes felt that she was thinking too simply. "Were there always so many people at the reception in the past few years?" Abigail asked. Jane nodded, "Yes!" "That''s only half of it. We''re not all here. When all members are here, you''ll know how many people there are." Listening to Jane, Abigail thought for a moment and nodded. "Well, it''s indeed Mr. Jones'' style!" But that was right. This was also a kind ofpetition. It was not only a drinking party but also a blow to the rivalpany. Abigail, Jane, and a few female colleagues walked in. As soon as they walked in, they separated. Only Jane and Abigail were together. At this moment, both of them took a ss of red wine and stood aside. The waiters were shuttling through the crowd, and some officials were still receiving the guests. Only Abigail and Jane were there. "Abigail, you''re the champion of thispetition. Are you going to stay here forever?" "What else?" "Aren''t you going to meet the others?" Jane asked. Abigail immediately shook her head. "Forget it, they don''t know me." Looking at Abigail, Jane smiled. "I''m going to the bathroom, are you going as well?" Jane asked. Abigail shook her head. "Fine. See youter." With that, Jane left holding the hem of the dress. Abigail was left alone. Just then, a figure entered the hotel... Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Liam came under the spotlight as soon as he came in. He wasn''t dressed very formally, just in long trousers and a blue casual suit, looking very handsome. Seeing his blue suit, Abigail couldn''t help but look at her dress. Today, she was wearing blue too. That was awkward. Was it a coincidence? Just then, Liam came in. After some greetings, he looked around as he was looking for someone. At He put on a devilish smile as he walked over. Abigail stood there still and felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Liam smiling like that. She then averted her eyes and looked away. At this moment, Liam walked up to her and looked at her dress. A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Miss Swift, the dress is beautiful." Looking at Liam, Abigail raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Jones, shouldn''t you be praising me instead of the dress?" "Yes, you are beautiful. The dress suits you very well." Liam said with a smile while looking at Abigail''s dress. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Abigail frowned. "Mr. Jones, did you send me the dress?" Abigail sounded out. They were both in blue as if they were a couple. Listening to Abigail, Liam casually picked up a ss of red wine from the table, took a sip gracefully, and then raised his eyebrows. "What do you think?" Abigail felt speechless. But looking at Liam''s behavior, she thought her guess should be right. ''What the hell does he want?'' Abigail silently picked up a ss of red wine and began to drink. "Seriously, you are not nervous about giving a speech on the stageter?" Liam raised his eyebrows and asked. Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "Mr. Jones, you invited so many people today. Even if I''m nervous, I have to pretend I am not." ustomed to Abigail''s always harsh words, Liam raised his eyebrows. "OK, I''ll watch your performance here." "I''ll feel morefortable if you don''t." As soon as Abigail finished speaking, Liam shot an angry nce at her and thetter immediately gave a fawning smile. At this moment, someone came over to socialize. "Congrattions, Mr. Jones!" "Mr. Green? Long time no see!" "Yeah. Congrattions!" The two of them shook hands and ttered each other. Just as Abigail was about to leave stealthily, the man looked at Abigail. "Well, who is this?" "This is mypany''s designer and the winner of thispetition." Liam briefly introduced Abigail. The man looked at Abigail with surprise. "I didn''t expect the winner to be so young and beautiful!" Abigail looked at him and smiled. "Thank you very much, Mr. Green!" "Mr. Jones, there are indeed many unnoticed talents in yourpany!" Mr. Green said. Abigail smiled. "Mr. Green, yourpany is also powerful." The two of them knew exactly that they were just having a tacit conversation. "Well, Mr. Jones, it seems that you have other things to do. We''ll talkter." Frank said. Liam nodded and the man turned and left. In fact, there was no shortage of young people in their business circle, but not many could get the height where Liam had scaled. Because people could find that those who came to socialize with Liam were all older. Chapter 94 Chapter 94 When Frank had just left, Liam''s eyes fell on Abigail. He hesitated. Was it a wrong decision to buy Abigail a dress today? It could be seen that those people kept looking at her. If he wasn''t here, those who wanted to chat her up would have alreadye up. Just then, a weak voice called from behind. "Liam..." Abigail was facing Liam, so she could see the person behind Liam at a nce. It was Olive, of course. Hearing the voice, Liam turned around and frowned when he saw Olive. Olive knew that Liam was angry with her, so she came to look for him, but she didn''t expect that Abigail and Liam would beughing and chatting here, and... Their clothes made them look like a couple. At that moment, Olive''s eyes were once again lit by the mes of jealousy... She took a fierce nce at Abigail. Abigail knew that Olive had misunderstood them again. Her life was as dramatic as a TV drama. Olive saw the scenes where she and Liam seemed to be close and was always misunderstanding. Abigail felt that fate was ying tricks on him. "Mr. Jones, I won''t join your conversation. I''ll go first." With that, Abigail put down the ss of wine in her hand and left. She did not want to be sandwiched between them, nor did she want Olive to look at her with hostile eyes. "Wait a minute." At this moment, Olive suddenly spoke. Abigail''s footsteps stopped there. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Olive was getting more and more annoyed with her. At this moment, Abigail turned to look at her. "What''s the matter, Miss Miller?" "Abigail, can you stay away from Liam?" Olive watched Abigail and said word by word as if Abigail had deliberately approached Liam. After hearing Olive''s words, Abigail frowned and looked at her with some amusement, "Miss Miller, what do you mean?" "You should know exactly what I mean." Olive looked at Abigail. "You''ve been nning to get close to Liam since the beginning, right? Well, are you happy to see us be like this?" Olive looked at Abigail and said word by word. Now, there were a lot of people at the reception and it was very noisy, so no one had noticed them yet. Abigail found it funny. She thought for a moment and said, "Miss Miller, are you suffering from paranoia?" "You!" "As I said, don''t think that all precious things in your eyes are the same in others'' eyes." "I''m happy to see you be like this? Miss Miller, what did I do? You haven''t been called to ount for taking away my exnation card. What else do you want?" Abigail looked at her and asked word by word. Speaking of the exnation card, Olive''s face changed and she was embarrassed. "Then stay away from Liam and leave the Powerline Group!" Olive looked at her and said fiercely. ''It was all because of you that I became like this.'' Olive thought to herself, ''If it weren''t for you, it wouldn''t have happened.'' When Abigail heard this, her lips suddenly curled up. "It''s up to me whether I will leave the Powerline Group or not. I had this n before, but now, I have changed my mind. Also, it''s not that I don''t want to leave the Powerline Group now, but that thepany needs me." Abigail looked at Olive and said it word by word, very confidently. "If you really want me to leave, go over to your man there and ask him to fire me. Then I''ll leave without a singleint." Abigail looked at Olive and said word by word. Chapter 95 Chapter 95 She didn''t say it before, but it didn''t mean that she was a pushover. She tolerated her attacks time and time again, but that didn''t mean she would endure such behaviors forever. "You ¡ª you mean you won''t leave?" Olive looked at Abigail and asked. Abigail looked at her without answering. In fact, Abigail was going to leave even Olive didn''t remind her. However, Abigail didn''t tell Olive on purpose, making Olive feel uncertain. "Abigail, you ¡ª " Olive was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Abigail. At the same time, her hand was grabbed from behind. Olive turned her head and looked at Liam angrily. "Let me go." "Stop fooling around," Liam said coldly. "Seriously? Liam, can''t you see? This woman is doing it on purpose." Olive was furious. Abigail stood there all the time without saying anything. Her lips were curved so slightly that no one could see her emotions. "Enough," Liam shouted angrily and dragged her out. Abigail stood there and watched them leave without saying anything. She then went back to eat. She admitted that what she had said just now had pleased her. She had endured what happened before. Moreover, when something happened to the design, she decided to let it go. However, Olive came to bother her again. She wouldn''t tolerate it anymore! She just didn''t want to argue with Olive. However, she didn''t expect her tolerance to be her weapon of her. But when she thought about what happened just now, she felt great. Liam dragged Olive out. *** At the outside of the hotel. "Have you had enough?" Liam snapped. Olive shouted furiously. "Liam, why are you defending that woman?" N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Liam frowned. ''Why is Abigailposed, while Olive is always so emotional and bothersome?'' "You took her exnation card. She was already kind to you without calling the police. What else do you want?" Liam looked at her and asked. Listening to Liam, Olive paused and looked at Liam. "Are you angry about this too?" Liam frowned. "Olive, do you think you did the right thing?" Looking at Liam''s angry face, Olive was a little worried. She took a deep breath and walked towards him. "Liam, listen to me..." "I know that I was wrong. But I did that only because I was worried and cared about you. Do you know? I was scared that you will be together with Abigail." Olive looked at Liam and said. Listening to Olive, Liam turned to look at her. "I wanted to help you. However, at that time, I just wanted Abigail to leave you. I didn''t think so much..." Olive looked at Liam and said word by word. At that moment, Olive hadpletely lost his usual confidence. "This is not an excuse for you to do something wrong and me the victim." Liam looked at her and said. "No, it''s true. Liam, I love you. And I''m really afraid of losing you..." Olive said. Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Seeing her like this, Liam frowned. He couldn''t say he was a good man but to Olive... He didn''t feel too guilty, because he didn''t really like her. "All right, Olive, today is a victory party. That''s it." Liam said. "Are you still angry with me?" Olive looked at Liam and asked. Looking at Olive, Liam frowned. "Olive, give me some time. Let''s both calm down." Hearing this, Olive was stunned and looked at Liam for a long time. "Do you mean to break up?" "I just said that we should calm down for a few days," Liam said. Olive shook her head, "No, I don''t want to calm down. Liam, please don''t be angry." "I know. I was wrong about that. I was wrong, okay? Please don''t be angry with me." Olive looked at Liam and said. "That''s why you went to be a judge?" Liam suddenly asked. Hearing Liam''s words, Olive shook her head. "No, my Dad told me to do that!" "Why did you do that?" Liam asked. "I don''t know either. I just don''t like you being with Abigail. Liam, believe me, I didn''t mean it. I... I didn''t know what happened. I just did it." Olive said in a jumble. "I just want you to be separated from Abigail. There''s really no other meaning." "Olive, I always thought you were someone with a clear distinction between public and private interests. I didn''t mean for you to help me, but I didn''t expect you to do that. Do you know what that Olive froze at Liam''s words. She knew that Liam had always wanted to work with Alexia on that case. Abigail then realized. "I didn''t think that much... I''m sorry, Liam, I''m really sorry..." Liam frowned at Olive''s repeated apologies. "You really don''t want me to be angry anymore?" "Yes." Olive nodded repeatedly. "Well then, don''t trouble Abigail in the future!" Liam looked at Olive and said word by word. Hearing this, Olive was stunned and looked at Liam in disbelief. "You, are you really in love with her?" Thinking of this possibility, Olive felt her heart aching. "It has nothing to do with this," Liam said. "Then what is it?" Olive looked at him and asked. This is from N?velDrama.Org. When Abigail came out, his eyes were on her. How could she believe that he was not in love with her? "After winning thepetition, Alexia signed a contract with me and appointed Abigail to be the chief designer, so I have to keep her now." Liam looked at her and said word by word. Olive looked at Liam and blinked, then said in disbelief, "Just because of this?" "Then what else?" Olive nodded. "Okay, I believe you. I believe everything you say." Olive said. She was willing to give up everything for Liam as she loved him. However, in a true rtionship, both parties needed to put effort to let the seed of love germinate and blossom. Unfortunately, Olive never realized it. Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Soon, the party began. All the people gathered together. The lights on the stage began to shine. First, the host said a few polite words. Then it was Liam''s turn. But he didn''t see Liam, so the host asked Abigail to give a speech. When she heard the host calling her, she went straight up. The aura around her body made people feel veryfortable when she stood on the stage. "Hello, everyone. I''m Abigail, the representative designer of the Powerline Group. First of all, thank you foring to ourpany''s victory party." Abigail said gracefully on the stage. In fact, she wanted to stall for Liam to show up. After a round of apuse, Liam still didn''t show up. At this moment, Abigail continued. "I was also surprised to get the champion of thispetition. I just wanted to say thank you to my mentor. And I want to extend my thanks to mypany and my boss for giving me the opportunity." Abigail said calmly on the stage. At this moment, Jacob stood under the stage, holding a ss of red wine in his hand, looking at Abigail on the stage. His eyes were fixed on her, and a smile appeared on his face... Two figures appeared at the door. When they saw the person inside, one of them couldn''t help but exim, "Abigail?" "Steph, am I right? That''s Abigail, right?" The woman said excitedly. Stephen Swift was Abigail''s father, and the woman was Abigail''s mother, Laura White. When he saw the person on the stage, he nodded. "Of course, it is." "When did shee back?" "How should I know?" With that, the two of them walked in. Just then, Jacob turned around and saw them at a nce. "Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Jacob asked. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Can''t wee?" Stephen replied. Anyway, he was the president of the Swift Group and would definitely be invited. Especially since Liam was his former son-inw, he would definitely invite them. Jacob didn''t say anything. Just then, Stephen looked at Abigail on the stage. "Jacob, did you know Abigail was back long ago?" Looking at the person on stage, Jacob frowned and finally nodded helplessly. "Yes..." Looking at Jacob, they knew that he was hiding it from them on purpose. "Why didn''t you tell us when Abigail came back?" "Dad, Mom, listen. There is a reason why Abigail didn''t tell you..." Jacob exined for Abigail. "What''s the reason? We are her parents. Does she still want to hide it from us?" Laura said. Just as Laura finished speaking, Liam appeared behind her. Liam heard everything she had just said. ''Abigail is their daughter?'' Chapter 98 Chapter 98 If he remembered correctly, there was only one daughter in the Swift Family and she married him three years ago... ''Abigail, Jacob?'' ''I should have known it!'' ''Abigail, Abigail...'' At this moment, he tried very hard to search for this name in his mind, but he could not remember his ex-wife''s name clearly. However, ording to their words, he was sure that Abigail was absolutely his ex-wife. When he thought of this, he looked at Abigail who was on the stage and he curled up his lips with a cold smile. He squinted his eyes slightly as if he was nning something secretly... While Jacob was talking to Stephen and Laura, they frowned and nodded at the same time. Although it This is from N?velDrama.Org. was a bit ridiculous, they could say nothing now. They really didn''t expect Abigail toe back and now to work for Liam. At this moment, Liam''s voice came behind him. "Mr. Swift, Mrs. Swift, I''m so d you came." At this moment, Liam put up a wicked smile on his face. Liam''s voice and his imposing manner made others feel oppressed invisibly. When they heard Liam''s voice, they looked away. When they saw him, they were slightly stunned. At this moment, Liam looked at Jacob, "Jacob? Wee!" When Jacob saw Liam, Jacob curled up his lips, "As it is Mr. Jones'' victory party, we will definitely attend it." At this moment, Stephen also looked at Liam. Although he has now divorced Abigail, it was true that two years ago that the Jones Family had helped the Swift Group. To be honest, Liam was only a bit field-ying but he owed Abigail nothing. After all, he was not willing to marry her then. "That''s right, it''s your victory party. We must be here." Stephen said. "So pleased you coulde," Liam said. It was good that they were here. Otherwise, he didn''t know how long he would be kept from the secret. Liam''s voice was a bit malicious. "By the way, how''s your father?" Stephen tried to have a natter with him. "My father is doing well. He misses his daughter-inw very much." Liam said leisurely but he did it on purpose. When they heard this, Stephen, Laura and Jacob were all stunned. "Where''s my ex-wife? Even though we''re divorced, I''d like to meet her for old time''s sake." Liam said with a fake smile. Liam was actually good at acting. He almost went out of rage, but he looked calm as if nothing had happened. He was not serious with everything and did not y by the conventional wisdom. "She..." Laura thought about it and said, "She has gone abroad so she could not attend the party today!" She said this with feeble bravado. After that, she looked at Stephen. Thetter said nothing. It was two years ago and they had seen each other a few times, but every time Liam saw him, he wanted to avoid him. He didn''t expect him to ask about Abigail today. Stephen remained silent and said nothing. Liam smiled and nodded nonchntly, "I see..." Laura smiled awkwardly but said nothing. At this moment, Liam smiled discreetly. "Well, you guys have a nice talk. I have something else to do. I have to get them done first." Stephen nodded quickly. "Okay, goodbye!" Liam nodded and raised his eyebrows. He nced at Jacob and left with no word. At this moment, Abigail was still talking on the stage. Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Where Abigail was standing, she could not see her parents, nor could she see Liam talking to them. It was not until Liam came near that Abigail saw him, which made her feel as if she had been saved. But when she saw Liam, she felt a little weird. Because she felt that Liam''s eyes were cold. Abigail wondered whether she had offended. But at the moment, there was nothing to worry about. Abigail wanted to quickly end the topic, but before she could finish, Liam came up. Abigail paused first and then said, "Now, let''s wee Mr. Jones." At this moment, Liam walked over and looked at Abigail. His eyes, which were so deep, radiated a leisurely light. "Actually, I have nothing important to say. I want to thank Miss Swift for winning the championship for ourpany again." Abigail stood there, feeling that Liam was looking at her strangely. Was she being paranoid? At that moment, the host came over, "Then Mr. Jones, please present the award to Abigail!" Award? "Miss Swift, thank you for winning the championship for ourpany," Liam said, then extended his hand, indicating to shake hands with her. Only then did Abigail know that she could have a prize of 100,000 dors for winning the championship. Looking at Liam, Abigail smiled and held out her hand. After going through the process, Liam looked at them and said, "Okay, thank you foring. Next, I hope you can have fun. If there''s anything wrong with the reception, please let me know." Liam said very politely. After that, Liam walked down, and so did Abigail. In fact, the cocktail party was just a formality. The people below continued to chat and socialize. Abigail had juste down and had no time to rest when the music started. Someone shouted from the other side. "Mr. Jones, do you want to dance with your champion?" The host on stage said, "This is the first dance. It symbolizes beauty and it means that the Powerline Group is thriving." Abigail was about to eat something when she heard this. Was someone trying to mess with her? But Liam thought this was a very good idea. Looking at Abigail, he walked over slowly and reached out his hand very gentlemanly. "Miss Swift, can I invite you to dance?" "I..." "Dance, dance!" At this moment, someone echoed. If she refused, would she get in troubleter? No one could refuse at this time. Even if they didn''t think for themselves, they had to think for the other side. Besides, it was Liam. If she rejected him, she would be in so much trouble. So, Abigail smiled and finally put her hand on Liam''s hand. They then walked towards the center. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The music was slowly ying. Just as they reached the center, Liam suddenly hugged her waist and held her in his arms. Abigail was stunned. She looked up at Liam, finding that Liam''s deep eyes were looking straight at her... Chapter 100 Chapter 100 At that moment, Abigail''s heart beat violently. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Why did she feel that Liam''s expression in his eyes was strange? It seemed that he wanted to know what she was thinking. Abigail looked away and said, "Mr. Jones, do you think it''s too close for us to dance like this?" Abigail looked at Liam and asked. Liam looked straight at her, with his narrow eyes, and then asked, "Really?" "Yes," Abigail said directly. She always felt that Liam was indescribably strange tonight. What''s wrong? She couldn''t tell. "Isn''t this dancing?" Liam asked leisurely. But with every word he said, Abigail felt that he was gnashing. Was it her illusion? The closer he got, the more Abigail backed away. "Mr. Jones, are you used to keeping so close when dancing with others?" Abigail frowned and asked with some displeasure. Liam didn''t say anything. Abigail frowned. She just wanted the music to end soon. However, Abigail could not tell that the man in front of her was so annoyed. Abigail didn''t look at him, but Liam''s eyes were glued to her. She didn''t know what to do. At this moment, she turned around and saw Olive. Olive stood there, looking at them angrily. It looked like there was another misunderstanding. So Abigail turned to look at Liam. "Mr. Jones, your girlfriend is looking at you." "Really?" Liam raised his eyebrows and asked in a casual tone as if he didn''t care. Listening to Liam''s voice, Abigail felt really weird. To put it right, after going out with Olive anding back, something was wrong with Liam. "Yes, aren''t you afraid that she will be angry?" Abigail asked. "Why should I be afraid?" Liam asked. Listening to Liam, Abigail frowned, still feeling that something was wrong. Was this man fickle or too confident? The two of them stood there, dancing and chatting. From his words, Abigail felt that Liam did not care about Olive at all. "You are so flirtatious." Abigail suddenly said. Hearing this, Liam suddenly smiled. "Flirtatious?" "Isn''t it?" Abigail asked. Knowing that Olive would misunderstand, he was still here to dance with her, and he did not care about Olive''s feelings at all. At this moment, Liam suddenly asked and looked at her. "Abigail, have you lied to me?" Hearing this, Abigail was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Liam and asked, "What do you mean?" "Tell me, if you lie to me, how should I punish you?" Liam asked, his voice as cold and harsh as the devil from hell. Abigail had a bad feeling, but she didn''t dare to say anything. "We have nothing to do with each other. So why can''t I lie to you?" Abigail asked. Hearing this, Liam put on a wicked smile... Chapter 101 Chapter 101 "Have nothing to do with each other?" Liam raised his eyebrows and asked, staring sultrily at Abigail. Somehow, Abigail felt that there was an extra meaning between the lines in his words. "Isn''t it?" Abigail asked. She looked calm, but in fact, she was totally panicked at the bottom of her heart. Seeing Abigail''s righteous look, Liam curled up his lips. "Is it?" Liam was like ying a word game with her. His response made Abigail flustered. ''Does he know everything?'' ''No, it can''t be!'' She looked into Liam''s eyes. Abigail didn''t want to dance at all now. How could she know what an enigmatic person like Liam was thinking? ''I''ll go crazy!'' Abigail looked at him and said, "Mr. Jones, I have no idea what you mean. Your girlfriend will dance with youter. I feel tired. I gotta go." Abigail let go of Liam''s hand and was about to leave. At that moment, Liam pulled her back and continued with the dance. Abigail frowned and looked annoyed. "Liam, I''m tired. I want a rest!" Liam ignored her needs and continued to dance. He held Abigail tightly. No matter how violently Abigail struggled, Liam refused to let her go. Olive''s eyes were burning with anger. She clenched her hands. While in Olive''s view, Abigail was deliberately seducing Liam. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. However, it was not that Abigail didn''t want to break free, but Liam wouldn''t let her go. Abigail was very upset, but she didn''t dare to resist violently. After all, so many people were around. "Let me go..." Abigail whispered. "Where are you going? Hmm? My ex-wife..." Liam looked at Abigail and asked. At the time, the music just came to an end. ''Ex-wife...'' Hearing Liam''s words, Abigail felt like it was thunderstruck. Looking up at Liam, she couldn''t believe it. ''He knows it?'' At that moment, Abigail really panicked at a loss. It happened so abruptly that she was not even prepared. "You..." Abigail was speechless. "Are you surprised that I know?" Looking at Abigail''s stunning look, Liam asked. "I... I don''t know what you''re talking about." Abigail said guiltily, then turned and left. She''d better leave as soon as possible. As Abigail walked out, Liam followed her calmly. When Abigail was about to step out of the door, Liam grabbed her. "Where are you heading?" Liam asked, pressing Abigail against the wall. The party was still on, and no one noticed them. "What are you doing?" Abigail looked at Liam, asking nervously. She was at a loss. Hearing this, Liam sneered and slowly moved closer to her. "Abigail, you''ve been lurking around me for so long. What do you want to do?" "I..." "Damn it, you even said that your ex-husband is dead and lied to me for so long." Abigail, "..." She seemed to have said so. Looking at Liam''s darkened face, she really didn''t know what to say. Chapter 102 Chapter 102 "Tell me, how should I punish you?" Suddenly, Liam looked at Abigail and said gently, as if a murderer was saying something to a victim who would be killed. It was creepy. "Liam, I admit that I lied to you, but we''re divorced." Looking at him, Abigail said. ''Divorced.'' The word, however, irritated Liam. "Shut up!" Liam pulled her up and wanted to leave. "Liam, what do you want?" "Abigail, you''d better shut your mouth, or I don''t know what I''m going to do to you," Liam said coldly. When he was about to pull Abigail away, a voice sounded behind him. "Liam, what are you doing?" At this moment, Jacob immediately walked up and asked Liam. "Brother," Abigail called out when she saw Jacob. Jacob frowned and looked at Liam. "What are you doing?" "This is my business. You''d better stay out of it." "Let her go!" "What if I don''t?" His voice was not loud but intimidating. "You..." "Jacob, you''d better stay out of this. Don''t force me to do something to the Swift Group." Staring at Jacob, Liam warned word by word. Abigail was panicked. Jacob looked sulky. At this moment, Abigail immediately looked at Jacob and said, "Brother, don''t worry. I will be fine." Liam pulled Abigail away. Standing there, Jacob watched Liam shove Abigail into the car, but he could do nothing. As soon as they left, Olive ran over. "Liam, Liam..." She shouted, but they had gone, out of her sight. Noticing Jacob, Olive turned to speak to him. "Where''s Liam? Is he with Abigail?" Jacob stood still, but his eyes were fixed on the direction where the car went. Looking at Jacob''s expression, Olive knew that he must know where Liam was. "Tell me, where did they go?" Olive shouted. Jacob stood there, motionless. Olive was furious, "Jacob, do you still have your balls? How can you stand here and watch the woman you try to protect leaving with another man?" Hearing Olive''s words, Jacob seemed to be suddenly provoked. Looking up, he didn''t even nce at Olive. He then ran towards his car and left. Seeing Jacob drive away, Olive hopped in her car and followed. On the other side. Liam was irritated by Abigail''s words and drove very fast. Abigail prayed for an intact body in her heart. ''Fortunately, it''s night. There are not many cars and no traffic police.'' She turned to look at Liam whose expression was grim, not daring to say any words. At this moment, a truck wasing ahead, but Liam didn''t slow down, he drove even faster. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Abigail''s eyes widened in an instant, "Liam, are you crazy? Slow down!" Chapter 103 Chapter 103 The truck almost hit them. Abigail was so scared that she closed her eyes, but suddenly she felt that N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. their car made a sharp turn and she leaned to one side by gravity force. By the time she opened her eyes, the truck ahead had gone. She couldn''t hold back her anger anymore. She turned to shout at Liam. "Are you f*cking insane?" At that moment, she was really scared. But Liam didn''t say anything. He was still driving fast. "Where are you taking me?" She looked at him and asked. But Liam said nothing. Seeing that he did not speak, Abigail did not ask anymore. Soon, they reached a ce familiar to Abigail. It was Liam''s house. They held their marriage ceremony three years ago here. After the car stopped, he got off and looked at her. "Get out of the car." But she didn''t want to. "Liam, I know you''re angry right now. Just tell me what you want!" Seeing her refuse to get off the car, he walked over and pulled her out. She was wearing an evening dress. It was inconvenient and she almost fell down. "Liam, you bastard, let me go..." He ignored her words and dragged her to the house. Hearing the doorbell, May hurried to open the door. "Mr. Jones, you''re back..." Liam directly pulled Abigail in. Looking at them, May was stunned. "Mr. Jones, Miss Swift, you..." "Miss Swift?" He noticed what May said. Even if Abigail wanted to stop May now, it was toote. At this moment, he turned around and looked at May with a sneer. "May, it seems that you already know." He said with gritted teeth. Everyone knew, but he didn''t. Thinking of this, he was even angrier. "Mr. Jones, I..." "That day, it was Abigail that bought the fruit, right?" He looked at May and asked. Looking at his angry expression, Abigail immediately said, "Liam, you don''t have to question May. I begged her to do that." "Shut up, you might need to think of a way to beg me to let you go." He then dragged her upstairs. "Liam, Abigail..." "May, it''ste. You can rest now." Liam said while going upstairs. May stood there, stunned. It was obvious that Liam was really angry. But she was more worried about Abigail... At this moment, Abigail looked at her. "May, you don''t have to worry. I''m fine..." Abigail was dragged upstairs soon. It was really inconvenient when she was wearing a formal dress. Although she said so, May still looked a little worried about her. She didn''t know what to do. ''Should I call Senior Jones?'' At this moment, all she heard was a thud from upstairs. May did not hesitate and went straight to the phone... Upstairs, Liam dragged Abigail directly to his room. He then threw her onto the bed. And the door was mmed close by him. Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Abigail frowned at Liam, moving her aching wrist. "Liam, what do you want?" "Are you crazy?" She said gloomily. "What do I want?" Hearing this, Liam smiled coldly and walked slowly towards her. Abigail sat and watched him getting closer and closer, and began to panic. This man was harder to deal with than he was two years ago. She had no idea what he was going to do. But as he came closer, she feared that... "Abigail, you lied to me for so long and cursed me to death. What do you think I should do?" Liam gritted his teeth. God knows how he managed to resist the urge to hug her and kiss her when he found out the truth. Hearing this, Abigail was slightly stunned. "Liam, I just didn''t tell you the truth. How can this be considered lying to you?" Abigail asked. She tried to reason with him. But her exnation, in Liam''s eyes, was all nonsense. "Abigail, do you know how much I want to kill you?" Liam looked at her and said word by word. Abigail said, "This is a crime." Liam was speechless. He knew that Abigail understood his meaning, but he was curious and amused by her serious response. Neither of them spoke. Liam came closer and looked at Abigail. He had to admit that she was beautiful. Fair skin, and delicate facial features. Especially now, she was wearing the gown he sent her, her delicate corbones exposed. ''Why didn''t I notice her beauty two years ago?'' Liam''s eyes narrowed slightly and he moved closer. As he approached, she retreated. But where else could she retreat to? "Liam... stop right there," Abigail said. She had to admit that she was freaking out. Liam raised a smile and pressed her down hard. "I''ve never seen my wife so charming. After two years, should you fulfill your duty as a wife..." ''The duty as a wife?'' Hearing this, Abigail pushed him. "Liam, you asshole." Hearing this, Liam was not angry anymore. "Then I''ll show you what an asshole is like!" As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed Abigail on the lips. "Mmm..." Abigail didn''t expect it and was unable to resist under his weight. What she wanted to say was swallowed up by his kiss.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The moment Liam kissed her, there was a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He had wanted to do this for a long time. Now, he finally did it. The feeling of kissing her was much better than expected. "Hiss -" It was not Abigail who made this noise, but Liam. He left her lips in pain and red at her. The anger in his eyes was obvious. Chapter 105 Chapter 105 "Abigail!" Liam looked at her. "Liam, we''re divorced! If you keep doing this, I''ll call the police." Looking at him, Abigail said word by word. How could someone as smart as Liam not know the pros and cons? But Liam was about to lose his mind, and now he could not wait to punish her. "Then go ahead!" As he spoke, Liam leaned over and kissed her lips again, a smell of blood filling her mouth. Abigail, whose hands were held, was unable to break free. ''Should I just let it be? Just treat it as a one-night-stand.'' ''No!'' ''Two years ago, I had a hard time leaving him. I''m not going to start any rtionship with him.'' Abigail tried her best to get rid of him. "Liam, let go of me. Are you crazy?" Abigail struggled to free herself, but failed. "Yes, I am crazy. You drove me crazy." "Liam, you bastard," Abigail shouted, but Liam didn''t seem to hear anything. Instead, he got more and more excited. However, when he tried to unzip Abigail''s dress, he touched her back, and Abigail seemed to be struck by lightning. At that moment, an idea came to her mind. She gave up struggling and stopped shouting, lying there like a dead body. Liam, who was in high spirits, looked up at her in mystification. At this moment, Abigaily there, frowning slightly. "Well, give up?" As Liam said, he leaned over her and kissed her. However, he felt something wrong. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Abigail was shivering. Liam frowned and stood up to look at her. "What''s wrong?" Abigaily there with her hands on her stomach and looked painful. "It hurts..." Liam frowned and asked, "Where?" "My stomach hurts, Liam. My stomach hurts." Abigail mumbled. Liam was a little nervous. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at her. "Abigail, are you lying to me?" Abigaily there with her hand over her stomach. "Liam, we had been married for a year. Don''t you know I have some stomach trouble?" Abigail asked, enduring the pain. Liam was not sure. After all, he couldn''t even recognize her. Seeing Liam still in disbelief, Abigail frowned. "If you don''t believe me, you can ask May. She won''t lie to you." Abigail said. Liam stood there, wondering whether she was telling the truth or not. "Um..." Abigail screamed in pain. Liam immediately leaned over worriedly. "Hold on for a while. I''ll call the doctor." Abigail nodded. Chapter 106 Chapter 106 At this moment, Liam immediately dialed the private doctor''s number. But what came over the phone was a robotic sound. "Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service..." Liam was anxious. He looked at Abigail lying in the bed, "I''ll take you to the hospital." Then Liam went to get his clothes. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Wait," Abigail said. Liam looked back at her. "Help me put on my clothes. Do you want me to go out like this?" Abigail said angrily. Liam was speechless. However, Liam still helped her wear the dress. Then Liam put on his shirt and carried her out right away. May was extremely worried downstairs,pletely unaware of what was happening upstairs. Just then, the door opened and Liam came out with Abigail in his arms. Seeing this, May was stunned for seconds. "Liam, what happened?" she asked in concern. "She has a stomachache. I''ll take her to the hospital." Then he left. ''Stomachache?'' May was confused for a moment. "Do you want me to go with you?" She asked. "No. Just stay at home," Liam answered and carried Abigail straight to the car. Putting her in the car, Liam got in and sped off. Abigail sat in the back with her hands covering her stomach. Her face was pale, and a thinyer of sweat formed on her forehead. It was obvious that she was in pain. Liam looked at her through the rearview mirror and sped up. It was supposed to take 20 minutes to get to the city, but it only took 10 minutes this time. Abigail looked out the window and thought about what to do next. Just then, Abigail saw a pharmacy outside. "It hurts..." Abigail said again. When Liam heard this, he was anxious. "Hold on, we will get to the hospital soon." "No, it hurts. Get me some medicine..." Abigail spoke word by word, enduring the pain. Hearing this, Liam immediately looked out the window. Then he nodded, "Okay." He pulled the car over. Then he looked at Abigail and said, "Wait a minute, I''ll be right back." With that, he got off. Abigail looked at Liam''s back and felt guilty... After he left, she changed back to her healthy state. Well, self-protection was important. Besides, if she didn''t do this, she might have been tortured by him. They both needed sanity at present. Thinking of this, Abigail got out of the car directly. As she got out of the car, she looked over there, afraid that Liam would suddenlye back. Then she quietly walked to the side, and a taxi happened toe over. Abigail waved and quickly got into the car without hesitation. "Just drive, please," Abigail said anxiously. She was afraid that Liam would see her. Chapter 107 Chapter 107 On the other side, Liam rushed into the pharmacy. He didn''t know which stomach medicine to buy, so he took two bottles of painkillers and a bottle of water. Then he ran out. When he reached the car, he opened the door in a hurry. "I''ve bought the med..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned to find the car was empty. His face immediately sank. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Now, he seemed to get it. "Damn it." His eyes were zing with rage. Finally, he mmed the bottle onto the ground. "Abigail, you''re a goner this time!" He roared. "I''m not done with you!" The heroine, Abigail was sitting in the taxi now. She could imagine what Liam would look like when he found that she was not in his car. ''He''ll probably want to kill me.'' Abigail shook her head to expel that thought! In any case, she was trying to protect herself. Liam was too irrational today. They had to calm down. Abigail breathed a sigh of relief and thought about what to do in the future. She should have expected this, but his reaction was unexpected. Liam was sitting in the car. "Damn it. She lied to me again." Thinking of this, he punched the steering wheel hard. ''Abigail, don''t let me see you.'' His cell phone rang this moment. When he saw the number, he frowned and reluctantly answered it. "Dad..." His tone was a little irritable. "Brat, I heard Abigail hade back?" On the other side of the phone, it was Liam''s father, Robert. Liam frowned and asked, "How do you know?" "Don''t mind this. How is Abigail? I''m telling you, she''s a good woman. Now she''s finally back. If you dare to do anything to her, I won''t let you go." Robert snapped on the phone. ''A good woman?'' ''A good woman would lie to me over and over again?'' Liam frowned. He kept wondering why his stubborn father thought so highly of that woman. When his father found out about the divorce two years ago, he hailed curses on Liam. In the beginning, it was Robert who insisted that he married Abigail, so he had to agree. Others might think Abigail had spelled Robert. "Got it," Liam replied impatiently. "Bring her back another day," Robert said seriously. "Let''s talk about itter," Liam replied impatiently. "I have something else to do. I''ll hang up." Sitting there, Liam became angrier and more agitated as he thought about Abigail''s trick. Her face kept shing in his mind. ''Abigail, I won''t let you leave me this time.'' Chapter 108 Chapter 108 At Liam''s house. May was too worried to fall asleep. She was waiting in the living room and saw Liame back. "Liam, how''s Miss Swift?" She asked anxiously. ''Miss Swift?'' Hearing this, he knew that Abigail must have told May something. He thought of the day when he met Abigail at thepany and she was so flustered. That exined everything. He should have noticed it. Abigail was really good at disguising herself. He didn''t even know that she had been lurking around him for so long. May stood there, looking at his angry face, and couldn''t help but speak for Abigail. "Liam, don''t be angry. Although Miss Swift lied to you two years ago, she has never done anything harmful to you." May soothed. Hearing this, Liam was stunned. ''Abigail lied to me two years ago?'' ''What does that mean?'' Liam frowned. ''Damn it. How many things has Abigail lied to me?'' At this moment, he turned to look at May and asked, "Two years ago? What happened two years ago?" "Miss Swift married you while making herself an ugly girl with make-up," May said subconsciously. Hearing this, he thought of the first time he saw Abigail. She was wearing a grey-blue suit, ck high heels, her hair tied behind her head, and a pair of sses. When she saw him, she was expressionless and lifeless. She even did whatever he asked. Even when he told her to f*ck off, she left obediently. So, he had many quarrels with Robert for ten days because he didn''t like Abigail. But he finally gave in and married her. But they didn''t have a wedding and just registered their marriage, so others didn''t know that he was married. There were some rumors that he was married, but no one could be sure of it. Liam would never mention that he married an ugly and boring woman. And no one saw what his wife looked like. Therefore, rumors were just rumors. None knew the truth. The truth was that he never went back after they married, and he never saw Abigail again. So, after a year of marriage, he couldn''t even remember what his wife looked like at all. He even forgot her name. Thinking of this, he came back to his senses. ''So all of this was what Abigail wanted? She did that on purpose?'' "May, what exactly happened?" At this moment, Liam looked at May and asked slowly. "I, I don''t know anything..." She replied immediately. "May!" At this moment, Liam roared. She stood there and looked at him awkwardly, not knowing what to say. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. "May, you''ve been taking care of me since I was ten years old. Can I still trust you now?" He looked at May and asked slowly. He acted tough and talked softly. How could someone softhearted like May notpromise? In the end, she thought it over. "Well, I''ll tell you everything, look..." So she told him about Abigail''s leaving two years ago. Chapter 109 Chapter 109 Liam''s face darkened after he heard that. ''This woman is really smart.'' ''No wonder I didn''t remember her at all.'' ''No wonder she is so different from her used to be...'' It turned out that everything was her disguise! She disguised herself that way on purpose because she didn''t want to marry him. Thinking of this, Liam really wanted to rush out, find the woman, and punish her. "I only saw Miss Swift like that when she left, so I figured it out." May looked at Liam and said. Liam stood there, fuming at Abigail. Looking at Liam''s angry face, May hurriedly said, "Liam, actually, Miss Swift is also a poor person. Every night, she sits in front of the TV and watches your affair with another woman. I have never seen her smile. That night, she even made many dishes and waited for you toe back... But I didn''t expect this to happen." Hearing May''s words, Liam turned to look at her with deep eyes. May stood there, not afraid of Liam ming her. After all, Abigail was not the only one to me for this, and Liam had done wrong. Even if she was only a nanny, she should treat them equally. What''s more, it was Abigail that apanied her when she was here. They were very close. She really liked Abigail. After looking at May for a long time, Liam replied, "I see. You can go back to your room." "What about Miss Swift?" May was still worried. "She had run away," Liam said. Hearing this, May was stunned. But she just knew that Abigail was fine. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Fine, then I''ll go rest first." At this moment, Liam suddenly remembered something. "May, what stomach medicine does Abigail often take?" "Stomach medicine?" Hearing this, May frowned. "I don''t know. Miss Swift has a good stomach. I haven''t seen her take any medicine." "Fair," Liam said. Mary nodded and turned to go upstairs. Liam stood there, thinking of Abigail. His eyes were deep, and a wicked smile appeared... While Abigail went straight back after getting into a taxi. When the taxi arrived, she realized that she had no money on her. Her purse was also left in Liam''s house. ''Damn it!'' "Sir, I''m sorry. Can you wait for me here for a while? I''ll go up and get you the money." Abigail looked at the driver and said awkwardly. Seeing Abigail dressed so beautifully, the driver didn''t think Abigail did it on purpose. He nodded. "Okay!" "Thank you. Wait here." Saying that, Abigail opened the door and got out of the car. Jacob sat in his car. Seeing Abigail get out of the car, he immediately opened the door and got out of his car. "Abigail," Jacob called her. Hearing the voice, Abigail turned around and frowned when she saw Jacob. "Brother?" "Why are you here?" "I''m worried about you, but I can''t find you. I can only wait for you here." Jacob said. Chapter 110 Chapter 110 "How are you? Are you all right?" Jacob looked at Abigail worriedly and said. "I''m fine," "Really?" Abigail pointed at the taxi. "I lost my handbag." Jacob nced at the taxi behind her, understood, and nodded. He walked over, took out the money from his wallet, and gave it to the driver. "No need for change." He said. The driver nodded and drove away. Jacob walked up to Abigail and asked, "Are you sure you''re okay?" "Yes." She nodded. He looked at her clothes. "Do you want to go upstairs and have a talk?" Abigail nodded, heading to her house. As soon as they entered the room, she said, "Brother, take a seat." "Okay." Jacob came here for the first time. Theyout was still neat, elegant, andfortable. He walked to the sofa and sat there. Abigail went to her room, changed her clothes quickly, and came out. "Jacob, what would you like to drink?" Abigail asked. This is from N?velDrama.Org. "I''m good." She stopped asking and brought two cups of coffee. "Jacob, Liam knows who I am." She looked at him and said. He was not surprised to hear that. "I know. He pulled you away. Did he do anything to you?" He asked. As she and Liam went away, he kept chasing after them, but there was no trace of Liam. Liam had so many houses that he couldn''t seek them one by one, so he went back to Abigail''s and waited. Abigail shook her head. "I''m fine. He didn''t do anything to me. But how did he know?" Until now, she had no idea how Liam had found out. Jacob thought for a moment. "I think it might be because Dad and Mom went over today to see you, and Liam happened to overhear their conversation." Abigail was stunned. No wonder he was fine when he went out with Olive and came back like that. "Dad and mom went there too?" Abigail asked. Jacob nodded. "In the past two years, whenever the Jones Group and the Powerline Group hold activities, they would invite the Swift Group. Usually, it''s me on behalf of the Swifts. But I didn''t expect them to be present today." Jacob said. Hearing this, Abigail was lost in thought. Since things had already happened, there was no way to change and no use to me anyone. Besides, when she saw Liam, she knew that one day he would know. But she didn''t expect it toe so soon. Abigail sighed. "It''s my fault!" Jacob said in guilt. Abigail looked at him. "Brother, it''s not your fault. You don''t have to me yourself. Besides, since I''ve "But..." The only thing she worried about was the Swift Group. She didn''t want to implicate the Swift Group. Looking at her worried face, Jacob asked, "Are you worried about the Swift Group?" Looking up at him, she nodded. "I don''t know if it will be implicated!" Chapter 111 Chapter 111 "Don''t worry, the Swift Group is not as vulnerable as it was three years ago. It would not be easy for Liam to do anything to it." Jacob said, trying to reassure Abigail. Hearing Jacob''s words, Abigail nodded. "What are your ns? Liam already knows who you are. What are you going to do? Would you like to go back to help me?" Jacob asked. Abigail shook her head, looked at Jacob, and said seriously, "Brother, I believe you can handle it alone. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Besides, I still have a lot of work to do in the Powerline Group. Liam won''t let me go so easily. If I really go back, I will be a liability." Abigail looked at Liam and said. Looking at Abigail, he remembered that Abigail had been studying business administration before. However, one day, she suddenly said that she wanted to study design. This made her parents and him confused for a long time. But in the end, they gave in and let her go. Until now, Jacob didn''t know the reason. ''Is it because...'' At the thought of this, he immediately got rid of that thought. It was impossible. ''She wouldn''t know it!'' At this moment, Jacob looked at Abigail. "Well, I won''t force you anymore, but you have to remember that we are family, and we share the Swift Group." Jacob looked at Abigail and said word by word. Hearing his words, Abigail nodded. "Yes, I know, brother!" "What''s your n? Aren''t you going home yet? Dad and mom already know you''re back." Jacob said. Abigail thought about it and said, "I''ll go back tomorrow!" "Really?" Jacob asked, raising his eyebrows. Abigail nodded and said, "Of course." Listening to Abigail, Jacob was relieved. "Well, I''ll wait for you at home." "Sure." Abigail nodded. Jacob looked at his watch. "It''ste. I should go back!" "Okay!" Jacob stood up and walked towards the door. Abigail followed him to the door. "Brother, be careful." "I''ll wait for you at home tomorrow!" "Bye!" Jacob smiled and turned to leave. After watching Jacob leave, Abigail closed the door and returned to the living room. Shey on the sofa, thinking about what happened today. She felt a little confused herself. She also thought that her escape today might provoke Liam, so she should find a solution. She couldn''t implicate the Swift Group. She huddled herself on the sofa. All in her mind was Liam''s angry look at her. Abigail suddenly sat up from the sofa and shook her head. ''Forget it. I''d better take a shower and sleep first.'' Chapter 112 Chapter 112 The next day. Early in the morning, Liam went to thepany. But when he entered thepany, he didn''t see Abigail. He frowned at the empty seat. No one else knew about what had happened yesterday. "Where''s Abigail?" He asked others. Jane sat the nearest to Abigail. When Liam asked, she answered, "I heard she had something to deal with and asked for leave." ''Leave?'' ''She asked for leave again!'' ''Damn it. Did she do it on purpose in order not to see me?'' ''She must do it on purpose.'' Thinking of this, Liam turned around and walked into the office. He was still angry at her but calmed down a lot. Without Abigail, he couldn''t sit still. Just as he was about to get up, ready to leave, the door was pushed open. Olive stood at the door. "Liam," Olive called his name softly when she saw Liam. Seeing Olive, Liam frowned. "Why are you here?" "Are you going out?" Olive looked at the coat in his hand and asked. "Yes," Liam replied. "I need to deal with something." Olive walked in and looked at Liam, asking, "Why didn''t you answer my call yesterday?" In fact, she really wanted to ask if he was with Abigail yesterday, but she was afraid that Liam would be angry, so she suppressed the urge. "Something happened yesterday. I didn''t bring my cell phone. Is there anything wrong?" Liam asked. ''Something?'' ''He was with Abigail!'' T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Olive felt heartbroken. But she tried her best to control her feelings and not to argue with him because of these things. She took two steps up and hugged Liam from behind, her slender hands around his waist. "Liam." She called out softly. Liam paused and looked down at her hands, frowning slightly. "Liam, let''s get married," Olive said suddenly. Hearing this, Liam was stunned. "What did you say?" "Let''s get married," Olive said again. She was really afraid of losing him. She was very nervous. Speaking of this, she hugged Liam even more tightly. Liam frowned. At this moment, he put away her hands and said, "Olive, don''t joke." "I''m not joking. I''m serious." Olive looked at Liam and said word by word. "Olive, you should know that I don''t have this n for the time being." "You don''t have this n? You just don''t n to marry me?" Olive looked at Liam and asked. She had already proposed to him. Why didn''t he agree? Looking at Olive, Liam frowned and continued, "You should know that I won''t get married until things are done." "I know you really want to expand the Powerline Group. But now the Powerline Group is very powerful. Besides, our marriage has no conflict with this." Olive looked at Liam and said. "Olive." Liam interrupted Olive when he saw her excited. "When you were with me from the beginning, you knew that I wouldn''t change my idea." Looking at Liam''s determined look, Olive suddenly felt that all her efforts were in vain. Chapter 113 Chapter 113 However, she loved Liam so much that she was terrified of losing him. Olive stood opposite Liam. His determination showed that her proposal was declined. Even though she felt terrible about it, she still loved the man in front of her. Olive smiled and nodded. "Okay, I''ll wait for you." "No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you!" Olive added. Her concession, smile and forbearance didn''t make him sorry. Instead, Liam felt a little helpless. *** After getting up, Abigail washed up, then went to the mall for shopping, and took a taxi back to the Swifts. As soon as she got in the car, Jacob called her. "Abigail, where are you? Do you need me to pick you up?" Jacob said over the phone. "No, I''m already on my way. I''ll be there in about 20 minutes. Brother, just wait at home." Abigail said. "OK, be careful on the road," Jacob said. "Got it.," Abigail answered and hung up. At this time, she looked out of the window at the passengers, deep in thought. Liam should be at thepany by now. Seeing that she was not there, he should be crazy! She didn''t mean to avoid him. Instead, she just wanted to calm down for now. She didn''t want what happenedst night to happen again. Thinking of this, Abigail took a deep breath, trying to rx. This is from N?velDrama.Org. The car drove slowly on the road and soon she reached the Swifts. Abigail got out of the car, took her things, and walked straight in. She rang the doorbell and soon the door was opened. "Miss, you''re back?" At this moment, Susan said excitedly as she stood inside. "Hi, Susan." Abigail greeted sweetly, "I miss you so much." As she spoke, she reached out and hugged Susan. Susan smiled. Although Abigail was the daughter of the Swifts, she did not put on any airs. Their rtionship had always been good. "Miss, you''re finally back," Susan said. "Where are my parents?" Abigail said. At this moment, Laura and Stephen came out of the room. "Well, you still remember me as your mother." Laura reproached as she walked to the door. Seeing Laura, Abigail smiled and walked up. "Mom, how could I not remember you? I love you the most." Abigail gave the things to Susan, walked up, and gently hugged Laura. Then she hugged Stephen. "Dad, I miss you too." "If you miss me, why don''t youe back to visit me?" Stephen said. "I have a solid reason." Abigail smiled and said. At this moment, Laura looked at the things in Susan''s hands and at Abigail. "Why did you buy gifts? You are not a guest here." "Well, I bought them for you. These are you and Jacob''s favorite food!" Abigail said, then turned to look at Susan. "Susan, you have a share too." "Thank you, miss," Susan said with a smile. Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Jacob walked out quickly, "Abigail, you''re back!" When he saw Abigail, his eyes lit up. "Brother!" Abigail smiled and walked up to hug him. "It''s good that you''re back," Jacob said, then gently patted Abigail on the back. Abigail smiled, "This is a formal meeting hug." Seeing Abigail''s nifty smile, Jacobughed. At this moment, the family walked to the living room. Laura was the first to speak, "If I hadn''t gone to Liam''s party with your Dad yesterday, I wouldn''t have known you were back." Laura said. She was a little unhappy about this. Hearing this, Abigail was slightly stunned. Stephen said, "Well, it''s fine toe back." Looking at Laura and Stephen, Abigail sat down with a smile, "Mom, I know you''re angry because I left with a French leave and divorced Liam secretly two years ago." "Mom, don''t me Abigail. She did it for us." Jacob was defending her. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Watching them echo each other, Laura smiled, "Okay, I''m not angry anymore. You two sing the same tune. If I get angry, I will be a great fool, one way and another." At this moment, Stephen looked at Abigail and said, "Why did you go to work at the Powerline Group?" Abigail hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn''t expect that the president of the Powerline Group is Liam." "Didn''t he recognize you?" Stephen asked curiously. If it hadn''t been yesterday, he wouldn''t have recognized her. "No, he didn''t." At this time, Laura remembered yesterday, when they were talking, Liam came over and said a lot of weird words. Could it be... "Dad, Mom, don''t worry. I can handle this. After all, I''m the chief designer of the Powerline Group, with several big projects in my hands. Even if Liam knows it, he won''t do anything to me." Abigail said with a reassuring smile. In fact, Liam knew everything yesterday. But Abigail didn''t want her parents to worry about her, so she chose to hide it from them. Her smile wasn''t so natural. Hearing what Abigail said, Stephen and Laura nodded. Only Jacob knew that Liam had known the truth. He frowned in silence. When Susan said dinner was ready, they all walked to the table. "I haven''t tasted the food cooked by Susan for a long time. I really miss it." Abigail said with a smile. Hearing Abigail''s words, Susan smiled, "Most of the dishes are your favorite. Your parents specially told me to prepare them. Please eat more." Abigail nodded, "Thank you, Susan." "And thank you all," Abigail added with a sweet smile. Chapter 115 Chapter 115 When Abigail was living in the Swifts, she never caused trouble or made excessive demands. Apart from divorcing Liam without permission two years ago and leaving without saying goodbye, she never did anything wrong. But the better she behaved, the more distant she was to them. Because Abigail never bothered the Swifts. During the meal, Abigail kept praising Susan for her cooking, and she looked the same as before. Only Jacob knew that she was suffering alone. "Where do you live now?" Stephen suddenly looked at Abigail and asked. "Tina helped me find an apartment. So I temporarily live there." "Since you''re back, move back," Stephen said. Speaking of this, Abigail was stunned. Then she continued, "Maybe after a while. Liam doesn''t know it yet. I don''t want to implicate the Swift Group because of this." "What are you talking about? You''re a member of the Swifts." Jacob said seriously. He felt T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ufortable with Abigail''s estrangement from the Swifts. Besides, he couldn''t bear to see Abigail like this. They had grown up together. But after she suddenly chose to study design, he found that he didn''t understand Abigail at all. Hearing Jacob, Abigail said with a smile, "Right because I am a member of the Swifts, I should protect the Swift Group." Abigail picked up the food and put it in Jacob''s bowl. "Have a Try." Seeing Abigail like this, Jacob had no choice but to stop persuading her. "Even if you don''te back, you have to visit us often." Laura looked at her and said. "Of course!" Abigail smiled and made a salute, which made them allugh. They had an enjoyable meal. "Abigail, it''s gettingte. I''m going to see you off!" Jacob said to Abigail as he picked up his coat and put it on. "I''m good, Jacob. I''ll just take a taxi." "Give your brother a chance." Laura said, "It''s sote now. If you go back alone, your father and I will be worried." Abigail nodded. "Okay, thank you!" "All right, let''s go," Jacob said. Abigail smiled and reached out to hug Laura, saying. "Mom, I''ll visit you another day." "OK, remember what you said." Laura enjoined her. "I will." Abigail smiled and looked at Stephen. "Dad, I''m leaving." Stephen nodded. Abigail and Jacob went outside and got in the car. Jacob was driving, and Abigail was sitting beside him, resting against her back. At this moment, Jacob turned to look at her, saying, "Why do I feel like you''re in a war?" "Really? I''m just tired these days!" Abigail said. Jacob did not pursue the issue but looked at her. "Why don''t you tell it to Mom and Dad?" Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Abigail, of course, knew what Jacob was talking about. "I don''t want them to worry." "Abigail, you are their daughter. They''ll be concerned about you and want to know how you doing." Jacob looked at her and said. It always felt like she had kept lots of things to herself. Hearing his words, she turned to look at him. "Jacob, don''t overthink." "I just don''t want our parents to worry. If they knew that they exposed my identity to Liam yesterday, if something went wrong with the Swift Group, they would me themselves. Is it wrong for me to hide these from them?" Her words were reasonable, but Jacob always felt that she had deliberately maintained a distance from the Swifts. Although she looked very close with them, there was a sense ofpromise, politeness, and respect This is from N?velDrama.Org. with her... He was not delighted about that. "Sorry for taking you wrong, Abigail. I still want you to tell the family if you have difficulties. We''re family." Jacob said. ''Family...'' Hearing this, she nced at him and nodded. "Got you." "Fair." He replied. At this moment, Abigail''s cell phone rang. It was from Liam. Today at the Swifts, Liam made countless phone calls, but she didn''t answer any of them and even turned off her phone. When she turned on her phone, Liam called her again. She nced at the phone, then pressed the mute button and ignored the call. Jacob saw it, but didn''t ask anything. Soon, they reached Abigail''s apartment. Abigail looked at him. "I''m going up. Drive safe." "OK." Abigail nodded and turned to leave. "Abigail!" Jacob shouted as he sat in the car. She was just about to go upstairs when she heard the sound. She then turned around. "Remember, if anything happens, call me!" Hearing his words, she smiled and nodded. "Okay!" Then she turned around and went upstairs. Watching her leave, he drove away. After returning home, Abigail took a shower andy on the sofa watching TV. But she didn''t pay attention to the TV shows at all. She was thinking about what happened a few years ago... At first, she thought she had a very happy family, butter, she realized that she was wrong. She took a deep breath at the thought of those words her parents had said. Feeling a little sleepy, she got up and went to bed, shrugging those thoughts off. Liam, who had been calling her all day, was really going crazy. ''How dare she not answer my phone!'' ''Fine. I have many ways to get her to call me back.'' So, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Hey, do me a favor. Announce to the public that the Powerline Group is going to buy the Swift Group..." With that, he hung up the phone and sat in the room. His angry look was horrible... Chapter 117 Chapter 117 The next day. When Abigail woke up, she saw the news. that the Powerline Group wanted to take over the Swift Group. Seeing this, Abigail was so excited that she almost called Liam, but on second thought, she hesitated. If Liam really wanted to buy it, it was no use calling him. He wouldn''t change his mind because of her. Thinking of this, she immediately called Jacob. Soon, the call was connected. Abigail could also guess that Jacob must be cating shareholders with news like this. "Brother!" "Yes." As he spoke, Jacob took the phone and walked to the corner. "I saw the news. Is it true?" She asked. "No." He denied firmly. "I didn''t have the contract from the Powerline Group." "Really?" She asked. "Will I lie to you about this?" He said. She nodded. "Okay, I see, but do the shareholders believe you?" "It''s just a rumor. It''s inevitable for them to be nervous, but as shareholders, they need to see the actual evidence." Jacob said. "Don''t worry. It''s all right." Heforted her. "Well, I see. If you need anything, you must call me." She said. "Okay, take care of yourself." "I know!" She then hung up. She sat on the bed and thought about it. Then she got up, cleaned up, and had breakfast while resisting the urge to call Liam. It seemed nothing had happened. If Liam really wanted to buy the Swift Group, then it was useless for her to be nervous. It would be better to think of a solution. Just then, the phone on the table rang. When she saw the number, she frowned, but still answered it. "Hey, Dad!" "Abigail, have you seen the news?" Stephen asked directly over the phone. "Yes." Abigail replied calmly, "I just called my brother. It''s groundless. Dad, you don''t have to worry too much." "The mastermind of this ident must be Liam. The Powerline Group has not stepped forward to refute the rumor." Stephen said. Abigail could understand Stephen''s words. She thought about it and said, "Dad, don''t worry. I won''t let anything happen to the Swift Group. Give me two days." She said firmly. Hearing this, Stephen was stunned. "What will you do?" "Dad, trust me." "Abigail, I just called you to investigate the situation. I have no other meaning. I will not allow what happened three years ago to happen again." Stephen said word by word over the phone. She paused for a moment and then said, "I see, Dad. Don''t worry. It''s okay." Listening to her confident tone, Stephen frowned. "Do you have any n?" "Yes, though I don''t know if it will work. But Dad, believe me. It''ll be fine." Abigail said. "Well, call me if you have any news." "Okay!" Abigail replied. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. So, after hanging up, Abigail put her phone on the table. She thought about it and finally made up her mind. Chapter 118 Chapter 118 After breakfast, she did not go to thepany, but changed her clothes and went out. She went to the mall to buy some tea and then she took a taxi to a ce. This was the best location of City A with rows of vis, indicating the people who lived here were either rich or with great power. In front of the vi, Abigail got out of the car, took her things, and walked straight to it. She rang the doorbell and soon the door was opened. Seeing Abigail at the door, the person inside was slightly stunned. "May I ask who you are?" "Emily, don''t you remember me?" Abigail looked at the woman opposite her and said with a smile. "You are?" Emily looked at the person in front of her and frowned. She looked familiar, but she didn''t feel like she had seen her before. "It''s me. Abigail." Abigail said with a smile. Abigail? Hearing this, Emily was a little surprised. "Young madam? Y...You are different from before." Emily said. "Really?" Abigail smiled slightly. "Yeah, you''re so different!" Emily said excitedly. Abigail smiled. "Is Mr. Jones here?" "Yes, he''s having breakfast," Emily said. Then she let Abigail go in immediately. "Who''s here?" Robert asked as he ate. "Mr. Jones, it''s me, Abigail." Abigail stood at the door and spoke softly. Hearing this, Robert was stunned and immediately walked out. When he saw the person at the door, he immediately smiled. "Abigail, you finallye to see me." Robert smiled. "I bought your favorite tea," Abigail said with a smile. "I think you must have something to ask me." T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Well, that''s true. I''m easy to be seen through by you." "I knew you woulde here today," Robert said. When he saw the news just now, he had already known it. "Then you should know why Ie to see you," Abigail said. At this moment, as they spoke, the two of them walked towards the living room. "Now you''re calling me Mr. Jones." Robert couldn''t help but say. "Liam and I are divorced. You know it." Abigail said. It would be inappropriate to call him Dad again. Hearing this, Robert sighed. "That brat, he really doesn''t know how to cherish the important person in his life. He has married such a smart wife, but he chased others." Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "Men don''t like smart women very much. By the way, are you praising me?" Abigail said. Listening to Abigail''s words, Robert was stunned and immediatelyughed. "You''re good at talking," Robert said with a smile. Abigail raised a smile. "You work for the Powerline Group now?" "Yes." Abigail nodded. "Still the chief designer?" Robert asked. Abigail nodded. "How could it be? Liam suddenly said he wanted to buy the Swift Group. It was so sudden." Robert asked. "I think he did it just to force me out," Abigail said. Hearing this, Robert raised his eyebrows and turned to look at her. "I came back from abroad and joined the Powerline Group, but unfortunately, your son didn''t recognize me, so I was just working at the Powerline Group all the time," Abigail said. Hearing this, Robert suddenly became interested. "And then?" "Then I helped Powerline win the championship and got Alexia''s contract. The night before yesterday, when my parents identally spilled the beans, he knew the truth." Chapter 119 Chapter 119 "He must be crazy?" Robert said with excitement. Then he remembered that the day before yesterday when May called him... "What happenedter?" Robert asked. "Later, he knew the truth and said he was going to buy the Powerline Group." N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. "Didn''t he carry you home?" Robert asked suddenly. Hearing this, Abigail was stunned and then looked at him. "So you know everything." "Do you think there''s anything you can hide from me?" Robert asked with a smile. Abigail smiled and didn''t exin. Sometimes, an exnation was just a cover-up. Anyway, she had done nothing wrong. "Since I can''t hide it, shouldn''t youe to solve this problem?" Abigail looked at him and asked. "What do you want me to do about it?" Robert asked. "He only listens to you. As long as you talk to him, he will never buy the Swift Group." Abigail said firmly. Hearing Abigail''s words, Robert nodded. One of Liam''s few advantages was that he cared about his father''s thoughts. There was a 90 percent chance that Liam wouldply with the request he made. It was also because Robert rarely interfered with him. "That''s true. He has few advantages, but he won''t disobey me." "That''s why I came to ask for your help," Abigail said. Hearing this, Robert raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Abigail. "Now that you are no longer my daughter-inw, why should I help you? What abouting back to be my daughter-inw again? Then I will definitely help you." Robert looked at Abigail and said with a smile. When Abigail heard this, she immediately said, "Just let me go. I just got rid of him for a short period. You know that he is a creepy monster." Abigail said with a smile. Hearing this, Robertughed as well. It was interesting to talk with Abigail. She was talkative and humorous. He just didn''t understand why his son didn''t like Abigail. "I believe that only you can keep him in check," Robert said. "You''re kidding me again. During the one year of marriage, he hasn''t stayed home for a day." Abigail said. "That''s because you are not what you are now." "Do you mean to tie him up with my look? If that''s the case, I''d rather not. There are more beautiful women than me. I don''t want to be a resentful woman because of his inconstancy." Abigail said. Robert didn''t know how to reply to her words. "You are so articte," Robert said with a smile. "Am I right?" Abigail asked. "Although a woman may first impress others with her appearance, her character is more important. I believe Liam is not a man who only values appearances." Robert said word by word. He knew his son very well. Abigailughed when she heard this. "You aren''t that confident when you say that." Robert was stunned and then smiled helplessly. "You don''t understand him. You won''t say that the day you understand him." "Then tell me, should I understand him?" "I hope you will understand him because I want you to be my daughter-inw again," Robert said. Abigail smiled and stopped talking about this. "Are you going to help me?" "I have to ask him about this. If the situation is the same as you said, I will definitely help you..." Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Liam was sitting in his office. He fixed his eyes on the cell phone, motionless. But it hadn''t rung for a long time. He frowned. The news had beenunched. She should have seen the news. How could she do nothing? Was it that she didn''t care about it? Or did she take it for granted that he dared not to buy the Swift Group? Liam was getting impatient and started to scold her in his heart. He had also been outside of the woman''s house, but he had not seen here out. Where could she go? He also checked the airline, but there was no record of her entry or exit. A phone number urred to him. He immediately took out his phone and called a number. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Soon, the phone was connected. "Hey, Emily, where''s my Dad?" "He is talking to the young madam," Emily said. ''The young madam.'' ''Sure enough, that woman is over there!'' ''That woman.'' ''I should have thought of it!'' Liam replied, "I see." "Young master, are youing back?" Emily asked immediately. "Well, I''ll be right back," Liam said word by word. Emily nodded and said, "Okay, I got it." Then she hung up. Looking at Robert and Abigail, she also thought Abigail was good, but unfortunately... At this moment, Robert looked up at Emily and asked, "Who''s calling?" "It''s the young master," Emily said. Abigail froze. Robert smiled and turned to look at Abigail. "Looks like that brat ising for you." "How could it be? He''sing to see you." "Well, he onlyes here once a month," Robert said. Abigail smiled and said, "Even if he''sing for me, he''s asking for trouble." The events of that night were vivid in her mind, and she did not want to fall into Liam''s hands so early. Looking at Abigail, Robert smiled. Why did he feel that something had happened between Abigail and Liam? Two years ago, hemented that it was a pity, but now, he suddenly felt that maybe their story wouldn''t end so soon. "In that case, I''ll leave first. I''lle to see you another day." "Won''t you wait for him?" "I want to live longer." Abigail smiled. Looking at her expression, Robert smiled again. It was her straightforward and sharp-worded nature he liked most. She was capable of managing the Joneses. Of course, he only whispered these words in his mind. "Well, have a good rest. I''ll see you another day." Abigail said with a smile. Robert didn''t force her to stay here. He just let nature take its course. "Okay." Then Abigail stood up and took the bag, saying with a smile, "Don''t forget what you promised me." "It depends," Robert said. He didn''t agree in a rush but said to see itter. Abigail didn''t force him. She smiled, said goodbye, and walked out. To her surprise, just as she arrived at the door and was about to take a taxi, a familiar car came into her eyes. It was the car of that creepy monster, Liam. He drove directly in front of her and got out of the car. Chapter 121 Chapter 121 Abigail thought that if he was in thepany, it would take him more than 20 minutes toe here. It was only about 10 minutes since Emily hung up the phone, but he had already arrived. But Abigail could imagine how he drove here. After all, she had experienced it before. Liam drove the car in front of her and got off. Abigail stood there. She wanted to ignore him and left. But his car was blocking her way. What was certain was that if she really pretended not to see him and walked away, Liam would have rushed up and might strangle her to death. Liam got off and walked directly to her. How patient he would be to not be enraged with her. "Why? Don''t you want to see me?" As Liam walked, he looked at Abigail and asked. His tone was full of forbearance. Abigail stood there and looked at him smiling. His smile made her feel dangerous. However, she was calm on the surface. "I just finished the work, and was ready to leave," Abigail said faintly. "Really?" Liam took a step forward and stared at her. However, Abigail took a step back. "Yes," Abigail answered firmly. "You have disappeared for two days. I thought you were going to leave in silence again." Liam said. He dared to swear that if Abigail left without a word this time, no matter how hard he tried, even if he chased her to the ends of the earth, he would find her.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Abigail smiled and turned to look at him. "Why did you have that thought?" The calmer Abigail was, the more furious he was. "Why? Don''t you know why?" With that, Liam took a step forward. His tall body came closer to her with an oppressive aura. Abigail frowned and stepped back. "Liam, what do you want to do?" "I want to kill you," Liam said in fury as he looked at her. Abigail didn''t say anything. Standing there for a moment, she frowned. "Liam, if it''s because I lied to you, then I apologize. But I don''t think I''m at fault. I just kept things from you. It was you who didn''t recognize me. So don''t threaten me." Abigail stared at him and said word by word. "Really?" Liam sneered. He leaned down slowly and stared at her eyes. "So, what about three years ago? You also hid it from me?" He looked at her and asked in a tough tone. Then Abigail was stunned and looked up at him. Chapter 122 Chapter 122 ''Does he know it?'' ''It seems that she knows everything.'' This was what Abigail had been worried about. She married Liam voluntarily, but it was to save the Swift Group. She had no choice but to think of this way when she saw Liam flirting with others. Unexpectedly, within a year, she really seldom saw him. At most twice. It was their first encounter when they got the marriage certificate, and the second was when he brought her to the Joneses for their wedding. From then on, she never saw Liam again. To be exact, Liam had never seen her again, because she could always see him on the news. Now, she didn''t expect Liam to know... Abigail looked at him, full of doubt and surprise, so Liam concluded. ''This woman must be feeling guilty.'' "What? You have nothing to say?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked word for word. "I... I don''t know what you''re talking about." Abigail stumbled. It was not toote to deny it, was it? "You don''t know?" Liam sneered. "Abigail,e on. Sooner orter, I''ll tear your mask." Abigail didn''t know what to say. After all, she lied first. "Mr. Jones, you must have something to do here. I''ll leave now." After that, Abigail stood up and left. The next second, however, Liam grabbed her hand. "Who allowed you to leave?" Abigail frowned. "What else do you want?" "Abigail, you''ve been lying to me for so long. You just dealt with it like this?" Liam grabbed her arm and asked word for word. "What do you want?" Abigail asked. "What do you think?" Liam asked, gritting his teeth. Until now, he had not thought of what to do with Abigail. If he did, would she still be standing here? N?velDrama.Org content. The two of them looked at each other. One was calm, and the other was angry. At this moment, Emily in the vi saw this scene and couldn''t help but get worried. "Sir, shall we really leave them alone?" Robert sat on the sofa, looking calm yet determined. "Emily, just pretend you didn''t see it." Emily still looked out the window. "Liam, you don''t want to marry me, do you? Is there any difference if I do that?" Abigail frowned and looked at Liam unhappily. This made Abigail even angrier. He looked at her and said, "Of course, there is." "Try me." At this moment, Liam pulled her away. "Where are you taking me?" "Tell you the difference." With that, Liam pulled Abigail away, opened the car door, and stuffed her in. "Liam!" Abigail was angry, but Liam didn''t care about it at all. At this moment, Emily was a little excited, "Sir, Abigail was taken away by Liam." "Just let it go. That girl is smart. She won''t suffer losses." Robert said calmly. Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Seeing how calm Robert was, Emily didn''t say anything and looked out the window. At this moment, Liam drove away without even entering the door. Abigail was sitting in the car and looked at Liam. "What do you want?" "Abigail, how many times have you lied to me? You''d better shut up now." Liam drove the car, warning her word by word. Hearing his words, Abigail stop asking more. A wise person would submit to circumstances. At this point, it was better for her not to say anything. The car soon headed for Liam''s vi. Abigail knew that he was taking her back. Thinking of this, she was still a little worried. After all, she couldn''t stop Liam from being irrational. After she thought for a while, Abigail said, "Liam, let''s have a serious talk?" Liam did not speak. Abigail frowned. She didn''t know what he was thinking, so then she remained silent. Soon, the car arrived in front of Liam''s vi. He got out of the car, and Abigail pushed the door open and went out of the car. Without Liam giving her orders, Abigail walked straight to the vi. Seeing Abigail acting like this, Liam was so angry yet helpless. Then he followed in. May opened the door and was surprised to see Abigail. "Miss Swift..." Abigail walked in with a smile, followed by Liam. May was even more stunned. At this moment, Abigail walked in and looked at May. "May, please help us make two cups of coffee. I have something to discuss with Mr. Jones." Liam had just walked in when he heard Abigail say this. May stood there, listening to Abigail''s words, a little confused, but she still nodded, "Okay." "Thank you, May!" Abigail said with a smile. Liam stood behind Abigail and looked at her, angry as hell. "Do you think you''re still the hostess here?" Liam looked at her and asked word by word. "Even if I''m a guest, can''t I have a cup of coffee?" Abigail looked at him and retorted slowly. Anger filled Liam''s eyes. He looked at Abigail and pulled her upstairs without saying a word. "May, remember to bring the coffee upstairs." Abigail did not forget to add. May stood there, nodding nkly. "Okay!" "No need," Liam ordered coldly. May stood there and nodded. "Yes." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Abigail rolled her eyes at Liam and was dragged into the room. With a bang, the door was mmed shut again. "Abigail, do you still think you''re the hostess here?" Liam looked at her and said fiercely. "Even if I''m a guest, how could you talk to me like this?" Abigail looked at him and replied. "Like this? You are lucky enough that I didn''t kill you." Liam warned coldly. Abigail said, "Resorting to violence can''t solve the problem." Seeing her calm look, Liam felt the urge to expose her true colors. "Abigail, how dare you." Liam watched her and gritted his teeth. He walked up to grab her. Abigail froze and looked at him. "Liam, let go of me." Liam didn''t let go but looked at her. "Abigail, it looks like you''re really not afraid of me taking action against the Swift Group." Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Hearing this, Abigail raised her head. "Liam, you promised you wouldn''t do anything to the Swift Group when we divorced." She looked at him and said. "How dare you mention the divorce?" Liam said. "Why wouldn''t I dare? That''s your promise to me." She paused for a moment and added, "Liam, didn''t N?velDrama.Org content. you want to divorce me before? Now that we''re divorced, you should be happy. But why are you so angry now? Do you fall in love with me?" She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. ''Fall in love with her?'' Hearing this, Liam was stunned and then sneered. "Abigail, what makes you so confident?" "All your actions have shown that you regret very much about our divorce." She asked as she looked at him. She wanted to provoke him by saying that. Sometimes counter-stimtion was more effective than a frontal argument. Especially when it came to a person as noble and cold as Liam. "I''m depressed. Very depressed. That''s because you lied to me and tricked me. Abigail, you have provoked the wrong guy. I must make you pay for this." Liam looked at her and said slowly. Abigail was speechless. "I think you should calm down." "And you lied to me that night you had a stomachache. Abigail! You''re getting on my nerve. How dare you lie to me so many times?" He almost shouted. No one has ever made him so angry. No one has ever dared to trick him like this. Abigail refuted, "I did it just to protect myself and calm both of us down." "Really? Then I''ll tell you very clearly that I can''t calm down right now." He shouted. Hearing this, Abigail thought for a while. "Liam, I lied to you. It has nothing to do with the Swift Group. If you want to vent your anger, just take it out on me. Don''t do anything to the Swift Group!" "Do you think you can resist my anger alone?" Liam looked at her and asked. "Liam, if you''re a man, you should keep your promise. You said you would leave the Swift Group alone." She said. "What if I don''t keep my promise?" He looked at her and asked disdainfully "If you break your promise, then you admit you''re not a man." She said. Her words just crossed Liam''s bottom line. Because at that moment, she saw he was not angry, but smiling. Her heart trembled due to hisughter. "Abigail, I''ll let you know if I''m a man." He then walked straight up to her and kissed her on the lips. Abigail was stunned and tried to push him away subconsciously. Chapter 125 Chapter 125 "Liam..." Her words were blocked in her mouth by his kiss. Abigail pushed Liam hard with annoyances. "Liam, if you do this, I will hate you," Abigail said suddenly as she struggled. Hearing her words, Liam paused. He looked up at Abigail. Abigail also looked straight at him. "Do you really want to force me?" Liam was slightly stunned by the sharpness in her eyes. "If you really want to do so, I can''t resist physically. But Liam, do you really want to force someone who doesn''t feel anything for you?" Abigail looked at him and asked word by word. Liam frowned and looked at her. "So you mean I should make you willing to do so?" Liam looked at her and raised his eyebrows. "Just have a try if you can," Abigail spoke without any fear. But she seemed to have aroused Liam''s interest by this way. Looking at her, Liam said, "Abigail, you won this time, but I will make you willing." Liam said confidently. Abigail smiled, "That depends on your ability." "Looks like you''re going to y this emotional game with me." Liam looked at her and said. "I just don''t want to be forced. Liam, if you''re really so capable, let me be willing to do so. I won''t stop you then." Abigail looked at him and said. Hearing this, Liam raised his eyebrows. "Abigail, you''d better remember what you said today. If you lie to me again, you''re doomed." Liam warned. Abigail smiled and said, "Don''t worry. I can''tpletely get rid of you, after all." "It''s good. But even if you leave, I will find you, whatever it takes." Liam looked at her and said. He was telling her to give away the idea of running away. "Don''t worry. My home is here. I won''t run anymore." N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. "It better be," Liam said. Finally, he was no longer so angry. "Now, can you get up?" Abigail looked at him and asked. Liam rolled his eyes at her and then got up slowly. Abigail also took the opportunity to sit up. "In that case, Liam, let''s talk," Abigail said. Liam sat on the side and raised his eyebrows, signaling her to continue. "No matter what happens between us, please don''t involve my family." Abigail looked at Liam and said. Liam leaned backnguidly and just looked at her, in silence. "You promised me you wouldn''t do anything to the Swift Group," Abigail said. "At that time, I didn''t know you lied to me. If I knew, I wouldn''t have agreed with you. Besides, I would have bought Swift Group at that time." Liam suddenly got closer to Abigail and looked at her. Chapter 126 Chapter 126 When Liam got closer, Abigail didn''t stand back but looked straight at him as she believed him. She firmly believed him. Then she was d to know that he found that she lied to him now, not two years ago. N?velDrama.Org content. Otherwise, the Swift Group would not exist. "What about now?" Abigail looked at Liam and asked. Liam leaned back in hisnguor once again. "I don''t know. It all depends." Abigail was speechless. "If you insist on acquiring the Swift Group, I won''t stop you. I''ll resign," Abigail said. Hearing this, Liam frowned. "Are you threatening me?" "It''s not a threat. If you want to buy the Swift Group, I have to resign and help them, whatever the result is." Abigail said. Liam looked at Abigail and frowned. He knew for sure that she knew the Powerline Group needed her for the time being, so she dared to talk to him in this way. But Liam had second thoughts and looked at her. "You have another choice." Hearing this, Abigail looked at him. He said, "Marry me again like three years ago. Maybe I''ll let go of the Swift Group." His answer left her speechless. Liam really meant it! Indeed. Abigail looked at him and smiled. "Mr. Jones, to avoid the nightmare three years ago, you''d better ask for something else." ''The nightmare?'' Liam red at Abigail, and she immediately smiled and said, "Your nightmare." "That makes more sense." Abigail didn''t answer. Seeing that Liam took it so seriously, she shook her head with resignation. Abigail knew that she had topromise when living under his thumb. She''d better not confront him head-on for fear that he would do anything outrageous. "So?" As he didn''t continue, Abigail looked at him and asked. "I''ll think about it," Liam said. "Then I will also consider whether to resign." Liam looked up and red at her. Seeing his eyes, Abigail said, "Actually, you wanted to force me out, right?" Hearing this, Liam looked up at her and had to admit that she was really insightful. "Now that I''m here, can you stop?" Abigail asked. Hearing what she said, Liam sneered. "Abigail, don''t you know that you are too confident?" "Mr. Jones, just admit it." Abigail retorted, "There was no news or announcement about it within the Swift Group. And now that the Swift Group is on track and doing very well. Why did it suddenly need to be acquired?" Abigail looked at Liam and said slowly and clearly. She was rational enough to run a "You only wanted to force me out." Abigail looked at him with absolute certainty. Liam leaned back and showed no emotion. "It''s good that you know it. Then I guess you must know if you disappear, the Swift Group will also disappear, right?" "Yes. If I stay by your side, can you revoke the acquisition?" She asked. "Since you know it''s fake, why did you ask me?" Liam said. Chapter 127 Chapter 127 "Of course, it''s up to you to make an exnation. The news has already scared the Swift Group even if it''s not a real acquisition. In this case, many partners will cancel their cooperation, and the Swift Group will suffer a great loss." Abigail looked at Liam word by word and stated the consequences clearly. Liam was leaning against the wall, thinking that she just cared about the Swifts. He didn''t expect her to have such goodmand of the pros and cons. It seemed that he had underestimated the woman before. Then he looked up at Abigail. "It seems that you know well the tricks in the situation!" "I''ve studied business administration. What I said is super apparent." Abigail said, having no intention to hide it but admitting it directly. "Since you''ve studied business administration, why did you choose design?" Liam suddenly looked at her and asked. Abigail frowned. "This is my business. I don''t have to tell you, right?" Abigail asked. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Liam raised his eyebrows and stopped shifting the subject. He looked at her and said, "OK, I may promise you to rify for you. But I have a request." "Anything but getting married," Abigail said immediately. Liam was speechless. ording to what she said, it seemed like it was an unpleasant thing to marry him. Liam rolled his eyes at her. Abigail looked away, ignoring his expression. She wouldn''t argue with him. ring at her at a nce, Liam said, "Do your best to cooperate with Alexia. As long as that contract is "Okay, no problem, but I hope you''ll do as you said," Abigail said. "Of course." Liam nodded. They made a deal. Liam agreed not to buy the Swift Group, and Abigail agreed not to resign. After the discussion, they walked out of the room. May was very anxious downstairs. The coffee had already been prepared. She was hesitating whether to send it up. But now, there was no sound at all upstairs. May was worried, walking around anxiously downstairs. Just as she was worried, the door upstairs opened, and Liam and Abigail came down. "Don''t worry. I will keep my word. I won''t break my promise like you." Abigail said as she walked. "Since you know I am dishonest, you should be prepared to be tricked anytime." "Liam, you''re shameless." Liam curled his lips and went downstairs. Abigail walked behind him, nced at him from behind, and also walked down. "May, is the coffee ready?" Watching them walk down in harmony, May felt like it was an illusion. May didn''te back from the shock until she heard Abigail''s voice. "Yes, It''s ready!" "I haven''t tasted your coffee for a long time. I shall have a taste." Abigail walked straight over. Chapter 128 Chapter 128 May stood there, a little stunned by the situation. What a big difference! But seeing that nothing happened to them, May was relieved. Liam sat there drinking coffee, and Abigail walked over and sat on his side, drinking as well. "Liam, Abi, are you all right?" May looked at them and asked. Abigail looked up and smiled at May. "May, you don''t have to worry. We''re fine." "Really?" May asked. She was worried that she might say something wrong and implicated Abigail. "Yes." Abigail nodded and drank her coffee. "It''s okay. Don''t worry." As she spoke, she nced at Liam. Liam sat there without saying anything. He acquiesced to what Abigail said. "That''s good." May was finally relieved. Looking at May''s worried face, Abigail smiled. After drinking coffee, Abigail stood up. "Mr. Jones, since things have been settled, I shall go." "I hope you keep your promise. I will apany you to a press conference tomorrow." Abigail looked at Liam with a smile. She seemed confident. Liam looked up at Abigail when he heard her. Abigail turned to look at May. "May, I have to go. I''ll see you another day." "Don''t you want to have a meal here?" May asked. She really liked Abigail. Abigail shook her head. "I''m afraid that if I eat here, someone will lose appetite." Abigail smiled, "Goodbye." May could only nod. "See you then." Abigail nodded and walked out. Liam sat there motionlessly. He only cast a nce at her when she left... After sending Abigail out, May walked back and saw Liam still sitting there. She said, "It''s such a long way, and it''s not easy to take a taxi outside. It might bete when Abi arrives home." Those words were obviously for Liam. Liam looked at the door and said, "She has many ways." Then he got up and went upstairs. May stood downstairs and watched Liam go up. She was a bit confused, and then she started cleaning up... The next day. When Liam arrived at thepany, Abigail was already there. And the press conference was ready. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Abigail did apany Liam to the press conference. Liam looked at so many reporters and felt like Abigail had tricked him. "Just to rify, is it necessary to be so grand?" Liam whispered to her. Abigail stood aside. "Mr. Jones, you have to solve what you did by yourself." As she spoke, she smiled at the media. Liam really had the urge to strangle her. But facing the media, he still had to maintain his poise. Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Abigail walked towards the microphone, and said, "The press conference is about the recent news of N?velDrama.Org content. the acquisition of the Swift Group. Mr. Jones will make a rification." Abigail stepped down and looked at Liam. Liam walked up. Before he could speak, the reporters below began to ask questions. "Mr. Jones, is it true about the acquisition?" "The twopanies have different operating ways. Why did you do that?" "I heard that you married the daughter of the Swift Family before, but you got divorced. Did your ex- wife know what you did?" The reporters kept asking questions. At the mention of ex-wife, the standing Abigail looked stunned and quietly looked away. It was a press meeting for rification, not for gossip. But Abigail had no say but to stand there as if she had heard nothing. Liam stood there looking at them, and said, "The acquisition of the Swift Group is nothing but a rumor." "Well, this is fake, right?" A reporter asked. "I think I''ve made myself clear." Liam looked at the reporter and said word by word. "What does it have to do with your ex-wife? Or did you change your mind because of your ex-wife?" A reporter kept asking. "Ex-wife?" Hearing this, Liam inadvertently nced at Abigail. She stood there calmly as if the address had nothing to do with her. Then Liam turned and looked at them. "Yes." What he said caused a greatmotion. Another reporter immediately asked, "Mr. Jones, could you tell us more about it?" "I''m sorry. That''s all I could tell you. Let''s call it a day." Liam walked down the stage. Abigail stood there for quite a while before realizing what he said. Looking at him from behind, she felt he did it on purpose, with her hands clutched. Seeing that many reporters were grumbling, Abigail signaled the personnel of the PR Department. Then someone went up to calm the reporters. Abigail followed Liam out of the conference hall. Liam walked ahead and Abigail followed behind. Liam could have further asked so many reporters to investigate the identity of the Swifts'' daughter. Abigail had always kept a low profile. Although she was the daughter of the Swifts, she had rarely appeared in front of the public ever since she grew up. Let alone she never revealed her identity. "Mr. Jones, I''m really grateful for what you''ve said." Abigail walked up and made a double-edged remark. She meant to thank Liam for letting the Swift Group go, but also to me him for talking about her in front of the reporters. After all, the reporters could possibly probe into her life if they took it a little bit more seriously. After hearing Abigail''s words, Liam stopped, turned to look at her and replied indifferently, "You''re wee." Having dropped that, he turned around and walked into his office. Abigail stood there, looking at Liam''s back and nodding. ''Fine!'' ''I''ll live with it!'' Thinking of this, she also walked towards the Design Department. Seeing Abigail walking over, Jane went over right away. Chapter 130 Chapter 130 "Abigail, what have you been doing these two days?" Jane looked at Abigail and asked. "Something personal. What''s wrong?" Abigail turned around and asked casually. "I don''t know if you''re lucky." Jane sighed. Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail smiled and frowned. "What happened?" "I don''t know what happened to Mr. Jones these two days. He has always been in a bad mood. Everyone who came into his office was scolded." Jane said. Abigail raised her eyebrows slightly. She could imagine Liam''s angry face, but she didn''t say anything. "That day, when you were absent, he asked me where you went. I was scared to death." Jane said as she made a particrly frightened expression. Abigail looked at her and smiled. "Don''t be afraid now. He won''t be angry anymore!" Jane nodded. "You''re so capable!" "I''m ttered. It''s just by chance." Abigail smiled. She still didn''t really want to get involved with Liam. Jane smiled. "Okay, let''s stop chatting. I''ll go to work. Let''s continue at lunch." "Okay," Abigail responded, so Jane returned to her position and started working. Abigail also began to devote herself to her work. On the other side. Jacob sat in his office and watched the news broadcast. His gentle face got gloomier. Especially when he saw Abigail and Liam standing there, his eyes were inexplicably dark. ''Liam!'' ''One day, the Swift Group will buy the Powerline Group!'' ''You will have your day.'' In the Swifts, Stephen and Laura sat in the living room and saw the news. At this moment, Stephen and Laura looked at each other. "Now, what exactly is Abigail''s rtionship with this Liam?" Laura asked as she looked at Stephen. Stephen had a straight face and didn''t know what to say. He didn''t expect this news to be cleared up like that. But Stephen believed it was definitely because of Abigail. "Aren''t they divorced? Are they..." "Well." Stephen interrupted Laura. "Anyway, Abigail is an adult. She has her own choices and ideas. We should respect her and not interfere with her." Stephen said. When Laura heard this, she frowned and said angrily, "When did I interfere with her? It was just my N?velDrama.Org content. caring about her." "Is it my fault that she married Liam three years ago? That''s what she wanted." Laura said. Hearing this, Stephen frowned. "No one said it was your fault, but..." He just didn''t know what was going on. "It''s just that I don''t know what''s going on. Let''s ask Jacob when he gets back." Stephen said. Laura just sat there. Even if she was unhappy, she couldn''t say anything now. Both of them frowned as they watched the TV, watching Abigail and Liam standing together ... While Abigail was working, the phone on the desk rang. "Hey, brother..." "Abigail, are you busy?" "No, what''s wrong? " "I saw the news. Anyway, thank you." Jacob said. Chapter 131 Chapter 131 After hearing Jacob''s words, Abigail smiled. "Brother, I didn''t help you a lot. Besides, you said it was just news, the groundless rumor. So you don''t have to thank me." "I know, but you did a lot," Jacob said. Hearing this, Abigail paused and then continued, "As a member of the Swifts, I have the responsibility to protect my family." Hearing her words, Jacob kept silent for a long time. "Well, brother, I will hang up. I still have work to do." "Okay." Abigail sat there, sighed, and went back to work. She never ate her words. Once Liam kept his promise, she would definitely win the contract with Alexia. Although they promised them the contract, it still depended on the final design. Thinking of this, Abigail took a deep breath and prepared to work hard. Without a psychological burden, Abigail worked especially smoothly. At least now she didn''t have to worry that Liam would know the truth at any time. Thinking of this, Abigail was in a good mood. Finally, everything was settled. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. By the time she got off work in the afternoon, Abigail just packed up and left. When Liam went out, he wanted to ask her to have dinner with him. But he couldn''t find her. In the evening, Abigail had just finished her meal and was drawing the design in the living room. While looking at theputer for reference, her cell phone rang. Seeing that it was from Liam, Abigail ignored it and continued to work on the design. But soon, her phone rang again. Abigail could only pick it up. "Hello?" Liam was just about to hang up because he always heard, "I''m sorry that the number you dialed was turned off." "Abigail, is your phone used to vent your anger?" As soon as she answered the phone, Liam roared at her. Abigail couldn''t help but take the phone away until there was no sound. She pressed it to her ear and said, "Sorry, I just turned it on." "Don''t you know that as an employee of the Powerline Group, you have to be on standby 24 hours a day?" Liam asked word by word. The most annoying thing to him was that when he was looking for her but her phone couldn''t get through. "Is there a rule?" After hearing Liam''s words, Abigail asked unconcernedly. "Of course!" "Why don''t I know it?" "Because you haven''t memorized the Powerline Group''s regtions. Abigail, you''d better turn on your phone 24 hours a day. Otherwise, if anything serious happens, you''ll be called to ount." Liam threatened. Abigail listened and mumbled something that Liam couldn''t hear. After that, she took the phone and said, "I see. Mr. Jones, what do you want to tell me now?" Chapter 132 Chapter 132 "I..." For a moment, Liam didn''t know what to say. He was holding his cell phone, hesitating whether to call. He didn''t expect that the phone was switched off, so he called again impatiently. "Is there anything urgent?" Abigail asked again on the phone. "Of course," Liam said. "What''s the matter? " Abigail spoke on the phone. "Abigail, you''re not hiding from me, are you?" Liam suddenly asked. Abigail was sitting on the carpet, drawing a design while talking to Liam on the phone. However, she suddenly froze and stopped drawing when she heard his words. "Why should I hide from you?" After a pause, Abigail continued to draw, but she was not as serious as before. "Why? I think you know it very well." "I don''t know. Mr. Jones, please tell me." Abigail said. The best way to talk to Liam was to pretend to be deaf or not understand. N?velDrama.Org content. Sometimes it was not necessarily a good thing to know too well. Abigail seemed to hear the sound of grinding teeth from the phone shortly after she said that. If it were a face-to-face talk, he would have strangled her. "Abigail, you''re afraid of falling in love with me, so you''re avoiding me, right?" Liam asked. ''What the f*ck? Liam, why are you so confident?'' But Abigail didn''t dare to speak it out. "Mr. Jones, if you''re really that charming, I''ll fall in love with you even at home." "What does that mean?" Liam asked with a frown. "Sir, I mean that literally." Abigail did not exin much and even deliberately used respectful words just in case Liam was picky. "Abigail, you''d better make it clear," Liam said angrily. "Mr. Jones, I''ve made myself clear. I don''t have to hide from you. If you''re so charming, why should I hide from you?" "Because you''re afraid of falling in love with me and feel pain." Liam was very sure. "Since I know that falling in love with you is painful, why should I do that?" Abigail asked. Liam could say nothing. He should have thought of it. This woman was very eloquent. She was definitely notparable to ordinary people. "Mr. Jones, you also said that you would only let me go home willingly, so I believe that you will never force me, right?" Liam couldn''t say anything. "Well, it''ste, Mr. Jones. I''m going to bed. I''ll see you tomorrow." After that, Abigail hung up the phone before Liam could say anything. Then, Abigail threw her phone directly on the table. ''Liam must be crazy!'' ''Otherwise, how could he call and say something so inexplicable?'' Fortunately, Liam was still a trustworthy gentleman. But Abigail could imagine how horrible Liam''s face was after she hung up the phone. He must have wanted to rush over and kill her! But let it go. She couldn''t see it anyway. After thinking about it, Abigail stood up and went to take a bath. ''It''s better to go to bed early at night!'' Sure enough, Liam, who had been hung up, was holding his cell phone angrily. Chapter 133 Chapter 133 ''How dared Abigail hang up my call!'' ''Did she know how a rare chance it was? Many girls couldn''t even get a chance to make a phone call Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. with me!'' If she were by his side now, he would let her regret it! At the same time. Abigail, who was taking a bath, seemed to feel his condemnation and trembled somehow. The next day. Abigail arrived at thepany early. Then she went to attend a meeting whichsted from 9: 00 to 11: 00. After the meeting, Liam looked at Abigail and said, "Abigail, how''s the coboration with Alexia going?" "Almost done!" Abigail sat there, her fluorescent blouse making her look more confident and beautiful. "Come to my officeter," Liam said. Abigail nodded. "Okay, I got it." Then Liam turned to the personnel manager beside him. "Print out a copy of Abigail''s resume and give it to herter." "Okay, I got it." The personnel manager nodded. It had to be said that Liam was handsome and charming during the meeting. It was the first time that Abigail had gravitated to Liam but not for his handsome appearance for such a long time. ''This man does have some other merits, apart from his face.'' After the meeting, Liam went straight back to his office. And soon, Abigail also went to the office. "Mr. Jones." Standing at the door, Abigail knocked on the door. Although she didn''t want toe to Liam''s office often, the fact contradicted her will. "Come on in," Liam said. Abigail went straight in. Abigail handed over her blueprint. "I drew this yesterday. Mr. Jones, please have a look." Hearing Abigail''s words, Liam frowned. It turned out that after hanging up the phone, Abigail worked hard to draw the blueprint. Knowing she was conscientious, Liam didn''t say the harsh words he intended to say. After receiving the design, Liam opened it and checked. Abigail was standing aside, waiting for Liam''s evaluation. "What do you think?" Liam asked as he went over the blueprint. "With reference to many works of the group, I designed this. I think it should be fine." "OK, I''ll have someone give it to her," Liam said. Hearing this, Abigail was a little stunned. She thought that Liam would criticize. She didn''t expect such an easy pass. "That''s all?" Abigail frowned and questioned. "Anything else?" Liam looked at her and asked. Abigail paused and smiled. "Nothing." "I absolutely believe in Alexia''s taste, and more so in my design group." Although Liam used the word "group", he, in fact, praised Abigail. Because Abigail didplete the work alone. Abigail smiled. "In that case, I''ll go out first." "Go to the personnel department and get your paper resume." "Why?" Abigail heard that Liam had someone print a copy of her resume, but she didn''t ask why that time. "Alexia wants your paper resume. I think she wants to invite you to join the Insight Design." Liam said. Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Abigail was a little surprised. But on second thought, she said, "Mr. Jones, aren''t you afraid that I''ll jump ship?" "If you can''t even resist the temptation, you''ll jump ship sooner orter. What''s the use of keeping you?" Liam said. He never doubted his employees. And Abigail admired that. Abigail smiled. "Okay, I got it." "Alexia is leaving the day after tomorrow. There''s a farewell party. She wants you to attend. You may Hearing this, Abigail paused. "Sure." Liam nodded, so Abigail walked out. Just as she reached the door, Abigail suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Mr. Jones!" Liam looked up. "There''s another blueprint under the one given to Alexia. It''s a surprise I promised you, and it''s a gift to Henry." Abigail said with a smile. Hearing this, Liam was stunned. At that moment, Abigail smiled and turned to walk out. She suddenly rxed. After she went out, Liam opened the document again. Sure enough, there was a blueprint under the design drawing for Alexia. N?velDrama.Org content. Although it was not the same as before, Liam seemed to be able to figure out Abigail''s train of thoughts. Thinking of this, Liam smiled. Abigail went straight to the personnel department, where someone was looking at Abigail''s resume. Abigail knocked on the door. Then a man looked up and saw Abigail. "Come in." So, Abigail walked in. "Where''s Emily?" "She is on a business trip. I''m acting as the HR manager for the time being." The man said. Abigail nodded. "Have you made a copy of my resume?" The HR manager suddenly remembered something and immediately handed the resume to Abigail. "Yes." "Thank you." Abigail thanked him briefly and was about to leave when the HR manager asked, "Miss Swift, you were married?" Hearing this, Abigail stopped walking. In fact, she didn''t like to talk about it with other people, especially with those she wasn''t familiar with. Still, since he asked and the resume mentioned it, Abigail still smiled, nodded, and said "yes" out of courtesy. "I''m sorry. But I identally saw that your resume said divorced... You..." "Well, yes. I''m divorced." Abigail admitted generously. The HR manager smiled awkwardly. "I really can''t tell that. Miss Swift, you''re so young and beautiful... That man is so stupid." Abigail smiled and said nothing more. There was no need to exin. Just as Abigail was about to leave, the HR manager suddenly said, "Actually, I was also divorced..." Abigail felt weird to hear that. She didn''t understand what he meant by that. Abigail smiled. "Really?" "Yes." The HR manager nodded. The HR manager thought Abigail would say something, but she just directly close the topic. "Excuse me. I''m going to run some errands." The HR manager paused and nodded. "Okay, bye." Abigail nodded. "Bye." As she spoke, she went straight out. Chapter 135 Chapter 135 And the HR manager stood there, looking at Abigail''s back as if he had secretly made a decision... Abigail was relieved when she came out of the personnel department. N?velDrama.Org content. For some reason, she felt as if the man meant something else. She hoped it was just her overthinking. She took her resume and walked away. At noon, Abigail had just made an appointment to eat with her colleague when the personnel manager came over. "Hi, Miss Swift!" Hearing the voice, Abigail looked up. When she saw him, she was a little stunned, but she smiled politely. "Manager Lee, what''s the matter?" Abigail looked at him and asked. He actually looked about thirty years old. He was tall, thin, and very ordinary. Abigail didn''t have much of an impression of him, except today when she got her resume from the personnel department. "I have something to tell you. Can I treat you to lunch?" The HR manager said. Abigail was stunned, not expecting him to say that bluntly. Jane stood aside and looked at them, unable to help butugh. Abigail didn''t know, but they all knew that the manager had been caring about Abigail for a long time. It seemed that he really mustered up the courage to invite Abigail out for lunch today. Abigail paused for a moment and then said, "I''m sorry, Manager Lee, I''ve made an appointment with Jane. We have something to talk about. We can talk about it at thepany." Abigail said with a smile, which meant that she declined him. Manager Lee stood there and thought, "Forget it. I''ll tell you when you''re avable another day!" "Okay." Abigail nodded. "See you." Manager Lee smiled, then turned and walked away. As soon as he left, Abigail couldn''t wait to pull Jane away. After arriving at the restaurant, Jane couldn''t help butugh. "Abigail, is Manager Lee chasing you?" Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail frowned. "No, you''re thinking too much." "I''m not. It''s just that you don''t know. He''s been paying attention to you since you entered the "Really?" Abigail asked and pretended to beposed. Jane nodded and said, "But there are a lot of people in thepany who care about you." Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "You''re exaggerating." "I''m serious. You''re so capable and beautiful. A lot of people want to chase you, but I didn''t expect that Manager Lee would say he wanted to talk to you today. Everyone knows his intention." Janeughed. Hearing Jane''s words, Abigail smiled. "Howe I don''t know?" "You''re so concentrated on your work that you don''t have time to think about it," Jane said. After Abigail entered thepany, all the big cases fell on her shoulders. She could tell that Abigail was really busy. Hearing this, Abigail raised her eyebrows. That was true. Fortunately, the Ratio Group''s contract was finally handed over to Jane. "But Manager Lee has been married and divorced. I don''t know how brave he is to chase you." Jane suddenly said. Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Hearing this, Abigail was stunned. So, did Manager Lee check her resume and know that she was divorced, and that was why he was so confident? "Maybe he checked my resume and knew I was divorced too." Jane almost spat out the food in her mouth upon hearing it. "Why are you so excited?" Abigail looked at Jane and said. Jane pulled out a tissue and looked at Abigail. "What did you just say? You were divorced too? Really?" Jane looked at Abigail in disbelief and asked. Abigail nodded and ate calmly. "Of course it''s true. Why? Is it strange?" "No, it''s just..." Jane looked at Abigail. "I never thought you would get a divorce." "What''s so strange about that?" Abigail said calmly, "Nowadays, there are so many sh marriages and divorces. Divorce is verymon, and the rate is up to 60%." "But..." Jane looked at Abigail, still feeling something strange, and finally said, "Who is so blind? You are so outstanding. How could he divorce you? I believe that man is not good." Jane said. Liam, who was far away from them, sneezed gracefully. Hearing this, Abigail nodded and couldn''t helpughing. ''If Liam heard this, his face would definitely contort in rage.'' "Forget him. You''re so hot, girl. I can be gay for you. Really. That man actually divorced you. He''s so tasteless." Jane couldn''t help but say. After hearing Jane''s words, Abigail looked up at her and was stunned. Looking at Abigail''s eyes, Jane was also a little stunned, then suddenly realized what she had said and quickly added, "Wait, I mean, if I were a man, I would definitely like you too. I''m making an analogy..." Hearing this, Abigail was stunned for a while, and the two of them couldn''t helpughing. "Well, I''m super straight, Jane," Abigail said. Janeughed, too. "If I confess to you now, will you leave immediately?" "Definitely!" Abigail said without hesitation. Then the two of themughed. "Okay, seriously, did Manager Lee say something to you today?" Jane looked at her curiously and asked. Abigail thought for a moment and then said, "He said he is divorced too." "It seems that he wants to pursue you." Abigail raised her eyebrows and said nothing. "What do you think?" Jane asked. "What?" "What if he confesses to you? Don''t you have any ideas?" Jane looked at her and asked. "He hasn''t confessed to me yet. Why should I think about it now?" Abigail said. She would never waste her time on such a thing. Hearing what Abigail said, Jane was speechless. "If he really confesses to you then, what should you do?" Jane said. Abigail replied unhurriedly, "I will just run away."N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Chapter 137 Chapter 137 "By the way, not many people in thepany know about your divorce, right?" Jane asked as she ate. "Only Emily, Manager Lee, and you know," Abigail answered. Emily was the former HR manager, so she knew it as soon as Abigail worked in thepany. And then, Manager Lee got the news today. And now, she told Jane about it. Of course, Liam was not counted on. He was out of Abigail''s list. Hearing this, Jane nodded. "Fair." It wasn''t really a secret, but Abigail always kept a low profile. After lunch, they went back to the office. Jane was not a talkative person. Especially since Abigail believed her so much, she wouldn''t gossip. Manager Lee didn''t say anything all afternoon. After work, Abigail went straight home. She found nothing in the fridge, so she went to the nearby supermarket. She bought her favorite snacks, some coffee, and red wine. While she was shopping, she suddenly met someone. It was none other than Manager Lee. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Abigail was still a little shocked. She didn''t expect to meet him here. But Manager Lee seemed happy. "Miss Swift? What a coincidence!" Manager Lee looked at Abigail andughed. Abigail was standing opposite him. When she heard what he said, she smiled. "Yes." "Do you live near here?" Manager Lee asked. Abigail nodded, unwilling to reveal too much information, but Manager Lee insisted, "You have bought so many things. I''ll take you back. I drove here." Abigail smiled. "Thank you. I''m good. I live close." Hearing this, Manager Lee felt awkward. "Then I''m leaving now." With that, Abigail pushed the cart and was about to leave. Manager Lee suddenly remembered something. "Miss Swift..." She looked back. "Yes?" "Miss Swift, actually... I really like you. What do you think of me?" Manager Lee suddenly said. Hearing this, Abigail paused. In fact, Abigail understood what he meant. She smiled. "You are capable in work. You can definitely get promoted in the future." "I mean... About me..." Manager Lee continued, "What do you think of me to be your boyfriend?" Abigail was a little depressed. Was it because he didn''t understand, or because she didn''t say clearly? "Manager Lee, are you sure?" Abigail suddenly looked at him and asked. Not expecting Abigail to be so straightforward, Manager Lee was embarrassed but nodded. "I''m sorry. We aren''t made for each other. You''re not my cup of tea, and I don''t want to start a rtionship now." Looking at him, Abigail said her thoughts firmly. Manager Lee did not expect that Abigail would refuse him so directly. Chapter 138 Chapter 138 "Manager Lee, I''ll go check out. Bye." With that, Abigail pushed the cart away. Manager Lee stood there, blushing and embarrassed. Looking at Abigail''s back, he frowned. Abigail would reject him directly if she didn''t like a person. She didn''t want to give him any hope. It was better to tell him beforehand. It was just because he didn''t understand Abigail''s hint, Abigail had no choice but to tell him directly. After picking out everything she needed, Abigail went to check out and left. She didn''t meet Manager Lee again when she went out. Abigail didn''t think much about it and went back home. However, no one expected that the next day, everyone in thepany knew that Abigail had divorced. When Abigail entered thepany, she saw a lot of people talking behind her back. She frowned and went straight upstairs to the Design Department. "Well, I didn''t expect her to get divorced." "Yes, she is not showing at all." "Do you think that Mr. Jones knows she has married? Mr. Jones valued her so much that she took over so many big cases as soon as she entered thepany. He must have had an affair with her." "Do you think Mr. Jones will like her if he knows the truth?" A colleague asked. "Of course, he won''t." "Yeah, how is that possible?" As soon as Abigail stepped out of the elevator, she heard three women gossiping about her there. They immediately dispersed when they saw Abigail. Now, Abigail finally figured out what was going on. ''I indeed have divorced, so what? Is there anything wrong? Am I really living in the 21st century? Why women should be med for this? It''s always men''s fault, okay?'' Abigail did not say anything and went straight to her desk. After a while, Jane came over from the side and walked over directly when she saw Abigail. "Abigail." When she saw Jane, Abigail smiled, "You''re here." Jane nodded and looked at her, "Did you say anything to Manager Lee?" Hearing this, Abigail frowned, looked at her, and asked, "What''s wrong?" "I didn''t expect him to buzz everywhere that you have divorced. Anyway, especially he said a lot of bad words. Now it is spreading in the wholepany." Hearing this, Abigail was slightly stunned. ''Exactly, man''s fault.'' Abigail nodded, "Okay, I got it." "Did you offend him?" Jane asked. So, Abigail told Jane that she met Manager Lee in the supermarket yesterday. When Jane heard this andmented, "Asshole! Even if he is rejected, he couldn''t do this. What a narrow-minded man!" Abigail smiled and said nothing. "You don''t know how terribly he had said. The wholepany is talking about it now." Jane was upset for Abigail. "You can shut their mouths, but you can''t stop them from watching a good show." "I can''t believe you can be so calm. If it were someone else, they would havee to him and argued with him." Jane said. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Should I go p him, scold him and disy the show to the wholepany?" Abigail asked. Well, it seemed right. "But I''m really sorry for you. " Jane said. Abigail smiled, "Well, I''m good. Don''t worry." Abigail said. Jane nodded and went back to work. Chapter 139 Chapter 139 In a day, the news about Abigail''s divorce spread crazily in thepany. There were various rumors. For example, she was a shameless woman who wanted to seduce Liam to get promoted Abigail didn''t care until Abigail and Jane came back downstairs and saw Manager Lee talking to someone. "Humph, I didn''t expect her to pretend to be pure." The sentence was all that Jane heard. She didn''t have to hear that much to know what Manager Lee was talking about. Jane stood side by side with Abigail. When she heard it, she couldn''t help but say, "What are you talking about?" Hearing Jane''s words, Manager Lee and a few colleagues turned around. When they saw Abigail and Jane, Manager Lee''s expression changed slightly. Abigail stood there and looked at them expressionlessly. "Manager Lee, don''t you find it disgusting to make up rumors after you are refused?" Jane looked at him and said. Manager Lee frowned. "What did you say?" "Isn''t that right? You confessed to Abigail and she rejected you. So you''re lying here. Isn''t that disgusting?" Jane asked. "What nonsense are you talking about?" Manager Lee shouted at Jane angrily. At this moment, Abigail looked at him. "Manager Lee, is what Jane said wrong?" Abigail''s sound attracted all people''s attention. "Manager Lee, when did you see me flirt with Mr. Jones? When did you see me make out with others? Please show me the evidence when you say these unrealistic things!" Abigail looked at him and said word by word. "If you just think that I rejected you yesterday and lied about it, then I have nothing to say. Yes, I was divorced, so what? Is it strange to divorce now? Or is it that someone despises people who are divorced? What about you, Manager Lee?" At this moment, the people around him no longer looked at Abigail with contempt, but at Manager Lee. So that was the truth. Abigail still stood there calmly. "It''s okay that you nder me, but you said I seduced Mr. Jones. Manager Lee, sometimes it''s better to think over before saying. Otherwise, you''ll die miserably." Manager Lee suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Abigail in disbelief, but he could not say a word. Abigail said nothing more and turned to leave. Jane stood aside and was very happy to hear Abigail say those words. This was the right way to deal with such a bastard. After taking a few steps, Abigail suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Manager Lee. "Oh, right, Manager Lee, I forgot to tell you that not epting you is the best choice for me, because I do despise you." With that, Abigail turned around and left. Among the whole sentence, this was the highlight. Jane was very excited. She just liked Abigail who would defend herself immediately and could beat others with her mouth. Abigail''s words were like a loud p on Manager Lee''s face. When he looked up, everyone looked at him with contempt. "What are you looking at?" Manager Lee shouted. Then, everyone turned his gaze and left resentfully... T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Jane was overjoyed and followed Abigail. Chapter 140 Chapter 140 "Abigail, your words irritated Manager Lee so much. His face even gets purple." Jane said excitedly behind Abigail. "Really?" Abigail raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "It only took 30% of my strength." Hearing that, Jane could not helpughing. No matter what happened to Abigail, she could keep calm. There was a saying, "Being calm is to let go of the gossip." Also, there was another saying, "Babbling is a loser, expressing sinctly is a winner." Manager Lee spread that rumor for a day. But Abigail didn''t care at all. He just used a few words to fight back and embarrass him. Jane felt so great about that. "I didn''t expect Manager Lee to be such a jerk." Jane couldn''t help but say. "There are many disgusting people in this world," Abigail said with a smile. Hearing this, Janeughed. "His loose control in gossiping with others will give rise to his future tragedy." Abigail smiled and didn''t say anything. Then Jane went back to work. They thought this thing was over. But they didn''t expect that Liam heard this thing. He came to thepany a littlete today. But as soon as he entered thepany, he heard all kinds of stories about Abigail. He frowned tightly. Liam sat in a chair and thought for a while. Finally, he made a call. "Bette,e in." "Yes, Mr. Jones!" Bette answered. She hung up the phone and went straight to Liam''s office. "Mr. Jones, what''s your instruction?" "What happened today?" Liam looked at her and asked. Bette paused, then smiled and said, "Oh, they are talking about Miss Swift''s divorce today." Liam frowned. "What''s wrong with being divorced?" He was also divorced. "It seems like that Manager Lee pursued Miss Swift and was rejected, so he ndered her," Bette said. The conversation between Abigail and Manager Lee had already spread in thepany. Liam sneered. ''He? Pursue Abigail?'' "What did they say?" Liam looked at his secretary and asked. Bette paused. She did not expect Mr. Jones to be interested in this. She did not dare to ask why Liam was interested in it. She tly told Liam about the conversation between Abigail and Manager Lee today. Hearing Bette''s words, Liam gave a meaningful look. That was definitely something Abigail would say. It could really unleash her anger. Seeing that Liam didn''t say a word, Bette said, "If there is nothing wrong, I will go out first." Liam asked, "Isn''t Emily back yet?" "No, not yet!" "Announce the employment of a new personnel manager." "What?" Bette was stunned. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Are you clear?" Liam asked. "Yes." Bette nodded immediately. "Tomorrow, I don''t want to see such a gossipy person in thepany." Liam looked at Bette and said word by word. Bette nodded. "Sure!" "You can go now." Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Liam sat there, thinking about what Bette had said. He smiled coldly as he felt that Manager Lee was aspiring someone he was not worthy of. As a result, the HR leader Manager Lee was fired. The news spread in the wholepany the next day. "Abigail, you know what? Manager Lee is fired." Jane looked at Abigail and said. Hearing this, Abigail was stunned. "Really?" "Yeah, I saw him leaving today. He looked resentful. After asking around, I found out that he is fired." Jane said. Abigail knew everything from Jane as Jane was always well-informed about the happenings in the "Don''t you think it''s strange?" Jane looked at Abigail and asked. "Why?" Abigail asked though she also felt something was wrong. "Don''t you think it''s strange that Manager Lee was suddenly fired? He indeed often spreads rumors, but I think there must be a reason for his sudden resignation." Jane guessed. Abigail smiled. "You''ve read too many detective novels." "Do you think it was Mr. Jones who fired him?" Jane continued. Abigail nodded. "There''s no one else who can fire someone with a simple order but him." "Abigail, I think Mr. Jones treats you very differently. Do you think he fired Manager Lee for you?" Jane smiled at Abigail and asked. Hearing this, Abigail was stunned. Then she looked at Jane and said, "Do you know why he was fired?" "Why?" "Because he was spreading rumors. He was not only talking about me but also Mr. Jones. Jane, do you want to continue gossiping?" Abigail looked at Jane and asked with a somewhat serious tone. Hearing this, Jane knew that Abigail was reminding her to stop gossiping. "Fine, I''m just kidding. Why are you so serious?" Jane smiled. "If you don''t want to get fired, work hard!" Abigail said. "Yes, ma''am!" Jane went to work. Abigail was sitting there. In fact, what Jane said was notpletely unreasonable. Abigail also felt that Manager Lee''s dismissal had something to do with her, but she didn''t expect Liam T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. to handle it in such a direct way. However, Abigail didn''t feel sorry for Manager Lee. In light of his rude behavior, he would be fired sooner orter. Abigail then buried herself in work. After Manager Lee''s dismissal, no one dared to continue the rumors about Abigail. In fact, divorce was not a big deal at all. In this tense and cruel society, when people couldn''t keep pace with you, they would like to gloat over you whenever you were in trouble. One day passed. She was going to Alexia''s party with Liam today. So, after everyone got off work, she was waiting for Liam in thepany. Chapter 142 Chapter 142 After Liam finished his work, he went out of the office. When Abigail saw him, she immediately stood up. "Mr. Jones!" Seeing Abigail, Liam frowned. "Why didn''t you meet me at my office?" "I thought you were busy, so I just wait here," Abigail said with a smile. But Liam felt that Abigail was deliberately avoiding him. He nced at her. "You''re going like this?" Abigail nced at herself. "Can''t I?" "Miss Swift, even if you don''t care about your own image, please pay attention to the image of the Powerline Group." Liam looked at Abigail and said word by word. "Mr. Jones, do you think I shoulde to work in a gown today just in order to attend the party with you?" Abigail looked at Liam and said. N?velDrama.Org content. "Can''t you at least bring a dress?" "I''m not used to bringing anything to thepany irrelevant to work." "Attending banquets is part of your jobs." Abigail was speechless. Looking at Liam, Abigail nodded. "Okay, Mr. Jones, wait a minute. I''ll go back and change my clothes. You can wait for me at the ce where the banquet will be held. After I change my clothes, I can go by myself." Abigail said word by word. Liam rolled his eyes. "Do you think you have plenty of time to go back to change your clothes?" Liam asked. "Then what should I do?" "Follow me." Liam nced at her and walked out. Abigail raised her eyebrows and hurried to keep up with him. After getting into the car, Abigail fastened her seat belt. She must be careful in Liam''s car. Watching her action, Liam didn''t say anything and started the car. On the way, both of them were silent. They hadn''t been alone for a long time since thest negotiation. For a moment, they didn''t know what to say. "Don''t you have anything to say?" Liam asked as he drove. After hearing what he said, Abigail thought about it and turned to look at him. "Is it your idea to fire Manager Lee, Mr. Jones?" She asked tentatively. "Yes." "Why?" "What do you think?" "I don''t know." "You don''t know?" "No." The atmosphere became tense. At this moment, Abigail thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of me?" "What if I say yes?" "Then thanks... What do you think I can do?" Abigail said intermittently. As soon as Abigail finished her words, Liam had an urge to strangle her. "I hate gossip. I don''t care if people insult you, but no one can insult me. Do you think I''ll keep such a person in mypany?" Liam said. Abigail was speechless. What did he mean it was okay to insult her, but not him? Abigail clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and told herself to calm down. A smile appeared on her face. "Of course not!" "Good," Liam said proudly. When he saw how angry Abigail was, he was in a very good mood. He could not bear to see this woman so arrogant in front of him. Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Abigail sat next to him and looked at his handsome side face, cursing him in her heart. Liam''s lips curled into a mischievous smile. Without saying anything more, Abigail looked away. Soon, they reached their destination. The car stopped, Liam got off, and Abigail followed. They entered a storefront, and the door opened automatically. Seeing Liam, the person at the door immediately walked up to greet him. "Mr. Jones, you haven''t been here for a while." When he saw Abigail, he stared at her fixedly and sized her up. But for some reason, even though it was a man who was looking at her, Abigail did not feel that the person had any interest in her at all. She stood there calmly. "Mr. Jones, is this your new date?" "This one is much more beautiful than Miss Miller. Good for you." The man looked at Liam and said. Judging from his tone, Abigail knew that this man must be close to Liam. Abigail immediately said, "Hello, I''m a designer of the Powerline Group. My name is Abigail." As she spoke, Abigail reached out her hand politely. "I know. I saw you on TVst time. I''m Sonny." Sonny said and shook hands with Abigail. Abigail''s self-introduction was telling the man that they had nothing to do with each other. "Cut the crap and choose clothes!" T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Where are you going?" "A party." "You didn''t return my dressst time," Sonnyined. "Don''t be so stingy." Liam red at him. "All right, it''s yours." As he spoke, he turned around and called the waiter. "Go and pick out a suit for Mr. Jones!" The waiter walked over. "This way, please." Liam frowned and looked at him. "What about you?" "I have to serve the beautifuldy." He gave a provocative look at Liam. But Liam looked at Sonny with resignation and then walked in. Sonny looked at Abigail. "Come on. Let''s choose clothes." Abigail nodded and followed Sonny inside. When Abigail followed him in, she saw the whole row of dresses. Sonny checked the dresses one by one. "Is it too stressful to be with him?" Sonny asked as he searched for the clothes. Abigail was surprised. When she realized what he meant, she replied, "We''re not dating. He''s my boss." "Really?" Sonny picked out a dress and put it in front of her to see if it suited her. Abigail nodded. "Of course." Sonny raised his eyebrows and didn''t say anything else. He was not satisfied and continued the selection. Then, he picked out a purple dress and turned to her. "How about this one?" Abigail looked at the dress. "It''s my favorite color." "That''s it." So Abigail took it and went to the dressing room. Chapter 144 Chapter 144 In just a few minutes, Abigail walked out. This long dress suited her very well. It was a one-shoulder dress with her delicate corbone exposed. She was stunning. Sonny nced at her and gave her a satisfied look. "Not bad." Abigail smiled. "Come with me." Abigail followed him and sat at the makeup table. Sonny looked at her face and searched his mind for makeup and hairstyle that suited her. After he decided, he started to put on makeup for her. "He looks at you differently!" As Sonny was putting on her makeup, he said. Abigail paused and smiled. "Differently? You mean the dislike in his eyes?" Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Sonny couldn''t help butugh when he heard this. He didn''t expect this woman to be funny. "Sometimes dislike is another expression of his feelings," Sonny said. Abigail listened and immediately said, "I hope not." Upon hearing this, Sonny immediatelyughed. Just at this moment, Liam came out of the room. At this moment, he was wearing a casual suit and looked very handsome. Abigail saw him in the mirror. He wore a white shirt, a ck suit, and no tie, showing his wheat-colored skin and looking mysterious. He looked good in anything. Abigail was thinking that God must have been biased in his creation of men. At this moment, Liam looked at Abigail who was putting on makeup. "What are you talking about?" "No, just chit-chat." Sonny shrugged. Since Sonny said so, Abigail could not say anything more. She shut up and said nothing while Sonny was doing her makeup. Liam looked at them, then walked over to the sofa, crossed his legs, and waited for Abigail to put on makeup while flipping through the magazine. Just then, Abigail''s phone rang. Abigail took it out and held the phone to her ear. "Hey, brother..." "Well, I''m busy now." Hearing her words, Liam knew who it was. He looked up and nced at Abigail. "Well, let''s take a rain check." After a few words, she hung up. Liam looked at Abigail and suddenly felt something was wrong. So he took out his cell phone and dialed a number. After a few seconds, Abigail''s phone on the table rang again. However, what Liam heard was "Sorry, the number you dialed is power off..." Abigail frowned, picked her phone up again. When she saw that it was a call from Liam, she was stunned. She looked back at Liam... Liam was livid. When Sonny heard Abigail''s phone ring again while he was doing her makeup, he saw the caller ID. Liam... Usually, subordinates should keep the boss''s phone number with a title like Mr. Jones. Abigail used his name directly. Was there anything between them? At this moment, Liam walked directly to Abigail, and Abigail immediately turned away with a guilty look. Chapter 145 Chapter 145 "Abigail Swift, Miss Swift, could you please exin this?" Looking at Abigail, Liam asked word by word as if he was going to kill her if she dared to lie to him. Now he finally understood why he couldn''t get through every time he called Abigail. Sometimes, when he was about to hang up, Abigail suddenly answered the call. He finally understood. Only now did he understand! Faced with Liam''s question, Abigail sat there and blinked, "What?" Sonny looked at them, not understanding what was going on for a moment. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. At this time, Liam dialed her phone number again. Abigail held her cell phone and wished it could be switched off now, but it rang at this moment. Liam, on the other side of the call, heard the voice, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is power off..." Hearing this, Sonny couldn''t help but burst outughing. He was the only one who dared tough at Liam like that. If it were anyone else, he wouldn''t even dare make a sound. As soon as heughed out loud, he was taken back by Liam''s re. "Haha, interesting." He said as heughed. Other people were eager to answer Liam''s call. However, Abigail actually cklisted him. At this moment, Liam looked at Abigail. "How? Do you want to exin?" "This... is actually a special ringtone. It''s very interesting, so I use it." Abigail said with a slight smile, looking at Liam''s furious eyes. Liam had nothing to say. God knew how much he wanted to kill her. "Well, is it only for me or everyone?" Liam looked at her and asked. Abigail was about to say something when Liam spoke again. "Sonny, where''s your phone?" Abigail said, "It''s only set for you!" Liam clenched his fist! Tightly! ''Good!'' ''Very good!'' ''Well done!'' She challenged his limits over and over again. Liam''s expression was indescribably twisted. Sonny was the only one who wasughing so hard over there. It was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation. He wasughing his ass off. Liam red at him as heughed so ferociously. Then he warned Abigail, "Good job, Abigail!" After that, he walked away. That was the only thing he said before he left. Abigail suddenly felt a chill behind her. Especially the expression on Liam''s face. Although he was smiling, she felt colder than subzero winter. She could even imagine that Liam was going to kill her. She didn''t expect Liam to find it so soon. Seeing him walk away, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief. Sonny, who had beenughing for a long time, finally stopped. Looking at Abigail in the mirror, he couldn''t help but say, "Thank you, girl." "For what?" "It''s such an eye-opener. I have never seen anyone who could make him so angry." Sonny couldn''t help butugh again. Abigail had nothing to say. She was quite worried. "Hope that I can survive tomorrow," Abigail said. It took less than half an hour to put on makeup, and Liam sat there without saying anything. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment. Chapter 146 Chapter 146 "It''s done." Hearing Sonny''s voice, Liam looked up. Abigail was dressed in a purple dress with slightly curly hair. She coiled her hair casually, leaving a few strands of hair on both sides, which made her more attractive. She put on exquisite makeup and didn''t look as pure as before. Liam suddenly had a feeling that Abigail would attract everyone''s attention. He suddenly regretted letting Sonny dress her up. "Make somements." Sonny looked at Liam and said. "in." After that, Liam turned around and walked out. Abigail was speechless. At this moment, Sonny looked at Abigail and said, "Liar." Abigail smiled and hurried out. "Girl, bless you." At this moment, Sonny said hurriedly. Abigail was embarrassed. Then she followed him out. She had just sat in when Liam suddenly pounced on her and pressed her against thezyback. Abigail was shocked but couldn''t retreat. Looking at Liam who was pressing on her, she saw his eyes were full of anger. "Liam, what are you doing?" Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Abigail, I really want to kill you!" Liam looked at her and said word by word, gritting his teeth. Abigail leaned back and looked at Liam''s face, not knowing what to say. "Abigail, tell me, how should I punish you?" Liam looked at her and asked word by word. "Mr. Jones, it''s just a joke." Liam suddenly moved closer and kissed her. Abigail was stunned. She didn''t expect Liam to kiss her suddenly so that she forgot to resist. "Liam." When Abigail came to her senses, she was startled and pushed him away with all her strength. At this moment, Liam leaned back dejectedly. "Are you insane?" Abigail looked at Liam and frowned. Liam''s lips curled up and he said, "Abigail, from now on, you''d better stop ying tricks. Otherwise, it''s not just a kiss. I''ll make you regret it." Liam looked at Abigail and warned her word by word. Liam didn''t seem to be joking at all. Moreover, Abigail believed that Liam would absolutely act on what he said. Finally, Abigail wiped her lips and said, "Mr. Jones, it''s just a joke. Why are you so serious?" "A joke?" Hearing this, Liam sneered and red at Abigail, saying, "Since you think it''s a joke, then continue doing it at your own risk." Abigail didn''t say anything. At this moment, it was better to show her weakness because there was a huge difference in physical strength between men and women. She did not want to irritate Liam. Abigail did not speak again. Liam red at her before driving the car away. Chapter 147 Chapter 147 Along the way, neither of them spoke again. Abigail kept looking out the window. She remained silent to avoid offending Liam again. As soon as they reached their destination, Liam and Abigail got off. When they reached the entrance of the venue, Liam stood there and extended his hand. Abigail was stunned and looked at Liam. "What? Do you want people to see us entering in one after another?" Liam raised his eyebrows and asked Abigail. Thus, Abigail had no choice but to reach out and hold Liam''s arm. That was really strange to her. After all, the man was her ex-husband. After a year of marriage with Liam, they had never been to any asion like this before, and today, they actually appeared in front of everyone hand in hand. Abigail felt this was a little funny. They silently walked inside. Both of them looked like born pretenders. They were good at pretending in public. As soon as they walked in, they wore decent smiles on their faces. The appearance of the perfectly charming couple immediately drew the attention of the crowd. Liam had brought many women to various asions, and since he had Olive, Liam rarely brought other women, but now, when they saw Abigail, they could not help but be attracted, especially by her beautiful face. Many people were considering whether Abigail was the daughter of a rich family or a celebrity, but after a private discussion, they all shook their heads. They had never seen her before. At this moment, someone said, "A few days ago, Liam rified at a press conference that he would not acquire the Swift Group. Was it the woman by his side at that time?" At this point, others echoed, "I think so." "Does she work for Liam''spany?" "A secretary?" "Liam even hooks up with his secretary." At this moment, someone who was not on good terms with Liam sneered. "This is his nature. He no longer surprises me." "Hmph..." At this moment, all kinds of words came to their ears. Abigail held Liam''s hand. When she looked at the crowd, she knew that they all misunderstood their rtionship. But the only thing she could do was to keep a smile on her face. Liam didn''t care about their gossiping at all. He looked energetic and confident. With Abigail by his side, he walked straight to Alexia, who was speaking in front of him. "Alexia!" Liam walked over and greeted her with a smile. Alexia was talking to someone else. When she saw theming, she said goodbye to the man she T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. was talking to and he left. Liam and Abigail walked up to her and greeted her smilingly. "There you are." When Alexia saw them, she smiled, and finally, her eyes were fixed on Abigail. "Miss Swift, long time no see." Abigail smiled. "Yes, today is your farewell party. Wish you a good time!" Abigail said with a smile. "Thank you." Alexia admired Abigail from the bottom of her heart. She thought Abigail was not only intelligent, but also courageous. "Mr. Jones has given me your resume. Are you interested in joining my design group?" Alexia asked directly. Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Fortunately, Liam had told her before. Otherwise, Abigail would have been stunned by Alexia''s words. After thinking for a while, Abigail said, "I''m sorry, Alexia. It''s always been my dream to join your opportunity, but I don''t want to go abroad now. I like my country and the city where I grew up. I also like my current job." In the end, Abigail declined Alexia''s offer. Liam didn''t say anything. To be honest, he didn''t expect that Abigail would say that. He was both happy and satisfied. Alexia nced at Liam, smiled, and said, "It seems that Mr. Jones has left something out." N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Abigail looked at Alexia and blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?" asked Abigail. "Joining my team doesn''t mean that you have to go abroad with me. My members know my style and have been hit a snag for some time. I am looking for works with more vitality and freshness. And I appreciate your work very much. If you are willing to join us, you can turn in some works to me regrly every year." Alexia looked at Abigail and said. Abigail looked at Alexia in shock and confusion. Then she looked at Liam who was standing there calmly and smiling at her as if he had known this. It dawned on Abigail that Liam was testing her. He wanted to know if she would leave with Alexia. He usually looked reticent, but he had known everything in thepany. Abigail couldn''t help but roll her eyes at him. "How is it? Are you in?" Alexia asked. "Of course she is! This is kind of a twofer! So why not?" said Liam. Both Alexia and Abigail looked at him. "Miss Swift, is that so?" Alexia asked, turning to Abigail. Abigail nodded and said, "If that''s the case, I would love to join your team. It has always been my dream." Then Alex burst outughing. "d to have you. Your skills will definitely make our team reach a higher level." "I still have a lot to learn," Abigail said with a modest smile. Alexia liked Abigail''s confidence and modesty. "This is a deal now. I''ll contact you when I''m settled," said Alexia. "Okay," Abigail said. Just then, Alexia''s assistant came over and whispered something in her ear. She nodded and said, "Okay, I got it." After the assistant left, Alexia looked at them and said, "I have an appointment. I gotta go now. Enjoy yourself, by the way." Liam nodded and Abigail put on a smile before Alexia walked away. At this time, the waiter walked up to them. Liam and Abigail each took a ss of champagne from the tray. Then they walked away. Chapter 149 Chapter 149 "Mr. Jones, can you exin what Alexia said today?" asked Abigail, who turned to Liam. Liam took a sip and looked away. "What? Don''t you understand?" "You''re testing me?" She asked with certainty. "If you say so. It depends on how you think." Liam said nonchntly, his eyes fixed on her. Abigail was lost for words. Abigail looked at him with a smile despite being angry. At this moment, Liam looked at her. "What if I test you? It''s not too much to test whether my employees are loyal to me," said Liam. Abigail cursed in her mind, but she still looked calm. "Of course, you can. You''re my boss, after all." Liam said directly, "I''m d you''re so sensible." Abigail was speechless. At this moment, Liam''s cell phone rang. Liam frowned when he saw the number. "I''m going out to answer the phone." With that, Liam walked out. Abigail stood there, looking at Liam''s back and saying nothing. Abigail was in a purple dress, holding a ss of champagne in her hand. She was charming. In particr, she looked more attractive with a smile on her face. If it weren''t for Liam, someone would have gone up to chat her up. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Abigail didn''t really like such an asion, but she had to attend it. Although Liam had tested her, undeniably, she had been making her way forward since she came back and joined the Powerline Group. First, she won the contract of Ratio Group, then took part in the newpetition, and now joined Alexia''s design group. All of this was part of her n, but it waspleted ahead of schedule. All of this could not be done without the help of Liam. At this moment, there was a heated discussion. "I heard that a mysterious guest flew back from abroad today!" "I heard it too, and it is said that he is one of the top tycoons in London." "In that case, he must be a foreigner." A few people were discussing it over there. Abigail strained her ears when she heard the word London. But then, there was amotion at the door. The door was opened and a strong figure came in from outside. The man of twenty-eight years old or so, dressed in ck, pulled a poker face, with a pair of sharp bright eyes. He descended from the sky like a king, and thedies present could not help but get excited. Everyone was wondering who he was. He was new in City A. Abigail stood aside. When she saw him, her eyes were fixed on him. There was a slight smile on her face, but her eyes were devoid of excitement. At this moment, he walked straight in. Alexia stood there. He walked straight over and came with a standard international greeting. Chapter 150 Chapter 150 "Alexia, I''m sorry for beingte." The man spoke in a charming and maic voice. "I''m d you came." N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. "Sorry, I just got off the ne." The man said. Alexia smiled, and the two of them started talking over there. At this moment, everyone was guessing who he was. His extraordinary temperament clearly showed that he was either rich or noble. After they talked there for a while, the man said, "Okay, let''s catch up on each otherter." Alexia nodded. At this moment, the man looked at Abigail on one side. Abigail stood there with a slight smile and looked at him. Finally, the man walked towards her. Abigail did not move but waited for him toe up. "Darling, long time no see." At this moment, the man raised a rare smile. Then Abigail looked at him and smiled. The man reached out his hand. At this moment, Abigail also reached out her hand. The two of them came to hug each other. They were faced with many people. From an outsider''s point of view, they seemed to be intimate. Liam, who was on the phone, frowned angrily when he saw that scene. After they parted, Abigail looked at the man. "Why didn''t you tell me when you came here?" "I wanted to surprise you, but I didn''t expect you to surprise me. I saw you here." The man said. From their conversation, others could know that they were familiar with each other. At this moment, Alexia came over. "Leo, do you know each other?" Hearing Alexia''s words, Leo nodded. Abigail smiled and said, "He is my mentor." Hearing her answer, Alexia was a little surprised. "No wonder Miss Swift is so outstanding." Leo said, "It was all due to her hard work. I wanted her to stay in mypany for a while, but she refused me." Leo said. Hearing this, Alexia was even more surprised. "Then it looks like you''re jealous of me. Miss Swift has joined my team." Hearing this, Leo curiously looked at Abigail. Abigail nodded. Leo wasn''t angry. He looked at Alexia and said, "It looks like I have to cooperate with you more frequently." Hearing this, they all smiled. "All right, I''ll go entertain other guests. Bye." Alexia said. Leo nodded and then turned to look at Abigail. "You are so good to everyone, but you treat me so ruthlessly." "I''m afraid you''re doing it for my own benefit," Abigail said. "You''re so sure that I''ll do it for you?" Leo curiously asked. "Yeah!" Abigail smiled and took an elegant sip of champagne. Her action attracted a lot of people and made them jealous. Chapter 151 Chapter 151 They chatted in full swing here, oblivious of many people who cast an envious nce towards them. They didn''t even know that the person in front of them was the mysterious guest they were talking about. They all thought he was a foreigner or someone who was in his fifties, but they didn''t expect him to be their mysterious guest. "Why are you back all of a sudden?" Abigail asked, looking at him. "I missed you. There''s an event, so I came back." Leo said without hesitation. "Really?" Abigail raised her eyebrows and asked casually. Leo smiled and didn''t speak anymore. At this moment, Liam walked over from behind. "Abigail, who is this?" Hearing Liam''s voice, Leo and Abigail turned back together, and Liam came up with a smile. Walking to them, Liam said with a smile, "Who is this?" Leo looked at Liam, feeling that the man in front of him was iming his possessiveness towards Abigail. It could only be felt when they had thought the same way. Abigail felt ufortable with Liam''s smile as he never smiled at her like this. "This is my mentor, Leo Harris. This is my boss, Liam Jones." Abigail gave a brief introduction. Liam was a little dissatisfied with Abigail''s introduction. At this moment, Leo extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jones." "You too, Mr. Harris." Liam also extended his hand to shake his. Just as they were about to say something, Alexia''s voice came. "First of all, thank you all foring to my farewell party, but today I have two pieces of good news to announce." Her voice drew everyone''s attention. "First, I want to introduce someone to you." As she spoke, she looked at Leo, who was surprised, and he walked over. "This is Leo Harris, president of Oayne Jewelry Group in London." Her words brought an uproar and a lot of discussions. They all expected him to be a senior. To their surprise, he turned out to be a young man in his twenties, and he was so outstanding. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. At this moment, Leo stood aside with a smile. "You guys can call me Leo. I was also born in City A," said Leo. His words left an impression of him being unassuming and easy to get along with. Then Alexia returned to her main topic. "And the other piece is the formal establishment of our this time." As soon as Alexia finished speaking, there was a round of apuse. Next, Alexia continued her speech, and Liam and Abigail stood aside. "Abigail, it seems that I underestimate you," Liam whispered. Abigail was stunned. "Mr. Jones, what do you mean by that?" "I didn''t expect you to know such a person," Liam said. Chapter 152 Chapter 152 When he recalled them hugging, he was somehow furious. He has known her for so long, but he had never heard her talking about it. Standing there, Abigail held champagne in her hand. She seemed to look at Alexia but she was talking to Liam. "Mr. Jones, we are not familiar with each other, so surely you don''t know much about me." Abigail also spoke leisurely. ''Not familiar?'' Hearing this, Liam looked distracted. Although it was true, he was still very discontented with her words. "Not familiar? We were married." Liam gritted his teeth and looked at Abigail''s profile. Married... Abigail paused for a moment and looked back at Liam. "So what? We met only twice. How could we get to know each other?" "Marriage is nothing but two certificates," Abigail said. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Her words enraged him more. In particr, her indifferent tone made him want to crush her. "It seems that you don''t value marriage at all," Liam said word by word with a displeased tone. "No, what I just said only refers to my forced marriage of three years ago. Now, I value my future marriage very much." Abigail said word by word. If she refused to marry him three years ago, the Swift Group would have been destroyed. She really had no choice. "Really?" Liam asked leisurely. "Of course." Abigail nodded, then looked at Liam and said, "You won''t get it." What she said put Liam in a fury. If it weren''t for so many people present, Liam would have pressed her and kissed her aggressively. At this moment, Alexia said something and got another round of apuse. Leo stepped back and saw Liam and Abigail. He asked curiously, "What were you talking about?" Hearing this, Abigail immediately smiled. "Nothing!" Liam,"..." The woman always smiled at others while being aggressive towards him. Bearing that in mind, Liam walked up and looked at Leo. He couldn''t help but say, "We were talking about MARRIAGE!" Abigail froze for a moment and looked up at Liam. Liam took it all for granted and smiled at Leo. "Leo, are you married?" Leo nced at Abigail and Liam, then he said, "Not yet!" Hearing this, Liam smiled. "So, what kind of girl do you like?" Liam asked. Liam''s words werepletely shocking. Leo did not avoid the topic and said, "I like a confident and beautiful girl who has experience!" Although Leo''s answer was simple, Liam felt Leo was talking about Abigail. "Really?" Liam nced at Abigail and then at Leo. "So, will you fall into a divorced woman?" Chapter 153 Chapter 153 The atmosphere turned awkward as soon as Liam finished speaking. Abigail looked at Liam. Obviously, he did it on purpose. But Liam smiled and looked straight at Leo. He wanted to know what Leo would say. He also wanted to know what Abigail''s reaction would be. At this moment, Leo took a nce at Abigail. He scrutinized her for a while, then smiled and asked, "Mr. Jones, do you care a lot about this?" Liam was not angry, but he realized that Leo could be a trouble for him. "Of course, I do," Liam said word by word, his narrow eyes revealing a sharp light. Liam actually didn''t mind. He was not an old-fashioned man. He knew much that women suffered a lot living in this world. He just wanted to provoke Abigail and test Leo. Leo smiled. "I don''t mind." "I don''t care about a woman''s past. I only care about her present and future." Leo said leisurely, "As long as I''m into a woman, I don''t care about her past. Besides, it''s not a big deal, being divorced. I do think those who despise divorced people are insane." Hearing this, Liam sneered. "Really? Mr. Harris, your answer will probably make a lot of women happy, but in my opinion, it sounds official and insincere." Liam said word by word. It seemed that he was trying to force Leo to show his true colors. Because he was a man, and he knew very well that some men cared about it. Hearing Liam''s words, Leo smiled. "Really? Whether you believe it or not, the truth is that time will prove what I said." Leo smiled at Liam and said. Leo subconsciously conveyed a message. Liam''s face turned cold as he saw that Leo smiled, affectionately looked at Abigail, who was silent all the time. It was only when Leo saw Abigail that he showed such affection. Abigail didn''t see this. He looked at Liam, who frowned unhappily but didn''t say anything. N?velDrama.Org content. Standing between the two men, she felt awkward. Besides, the topic of their conversation made her ufortable, but she still had to feign calmness as if nothing had happened. However, Liam''s words echoed in her mind. Abigail pursed her lips and looked at Alexia. She didn''t want to be involved in their conversation. At this moment, the music suddenly sounded. They all knew that the first dance was about to begin. At this time, Liam and Leo both tidied up their clothes. They reached out to Abigail almost at the same time. Abigail froze and looked at them. Neither Liam nor Leo expected this to happen. But neither of them wanted to take their hands back. Abigail stood there and suddenly felt that she was caught in a horrible dilemma. Liam was her boss, and she came with him today, so she couldn''t refuse. Chapter 154 Chapter 154 And Leo was her mentor, whom she respected. In fact, he helped her a lot, and he was a perfect man. When the two men reached out their hands at the same time, Abigail was stunned and didn''t know what to do. In the middle of the dance floor, some people were already dancing. However, they... N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Neither of the two men had the intention of taking their hands back. Abigail looked at them, thinking about what to do. At this moment, Alexia was also seeing them. It was obvious that Abigail was very popr, and she was in a difficult position. After thinking about it, Alexia decided to walk over. "It seems that Miss Swift is very popr, but no one invited me to dance?" Alexia said with a smile. Abigail seemed to have gone out of the woods when she saw Alexia. "Leo, do you want to dance with me?" At this moment, Alexia looked at Leo and said. Then Leo nced at Abigail and Liam respectively. "Of course." With that, he reached out to Alexia. "Beautifuldy, may I dance with you?" "Positive." As she spoke, Alexia put her hand on Leo''s. They stepped onto the dance floor. Only then did Abigail breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, Liam looked at Abigail. "Why? Don''t you want to dance with me?" Abigail turned around and looked at Liam. Instead of speaking, she put her hand directly in his. It was useless to say more now. Then, they walked onto the dance floor. The music was slowly ying, and Liam held Abigail''s waist. "Abigail, it seems that you have been enjoying yourself these two years," Liam said sarcastically. Abigail frowned and knew that Liam had misunderstood her and Leo. She didn''t exin much and said, "Nope, Mr. Jones. I think you are the one who enjoyed yourself most." "Abigail, are you mocking me?" Liam looked at her and asked unhappily. "I''m just telling the truth." Abigail smiled and said, ignoring his angry look. "What about you? What''s your rtionship with Leo?" Liam looked at her and asked. "Just..." Abigail suddenly paused. Looking at Liam, she said. "Mr. Jones, it is my privacy. It seems that there is no need to exin it to you, right?" Liam looked unhappy, and his deep eyes were fixed on Abigail''s delicate face. "You seem to have forgotten an identity." Liam looked at her and said word by word. "What?" "You''re my ex-wife." "Mr. Jones, I''m just your ex-wife. We''re divorced. Besides, I''ve never meddled in your rtionship with Olive, have I?" Abigail looked at Liam and said word by word. Liam''s face darkened. But it must be said that Abigail sounded reasonable. Liam suddenly hated the prefix ''ex''. As the two of them danced, Liam felt a sense of revenge. He suddenly tightened his hands around her waist, and the two of them clung together intimately. Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Abigail frowned at his sudden action. Liam smirked and continued to dance. "Mr. Jones, we don''t have to dance like this, right?" Abigail asked. He was clearly intentional. Liam smiled. "It''s not the first time you''ve danced with me. Don''t you know?" As he spoke, he hugged Abigail even tighter. From one side, they looked like a couple. Abigail was upset, but it was not good to push him away in front of so many people, so she could only let him do what he wanted. Leo was staring at them with a deep gaze... "You like Miss Swift, right?" Alexia was surprised. Hearing that, Leo looked at her. "What?" Alexia smiled. "You young men always pretend to be dumb even if you like someone. I am experienced. Look, since you like her, you should be brave. Thus, although you don''t know the result, there won''t be any regrets in your life." Alexia said. Hearing this, Leo frowned and lost himself in thought. The partysted for nearly three hours, and then the crowd gradually dispersed. Although nothing unexpected happened today, Liam and Leo became lively discussed. Abigail could hear those passengers discussing what happened tonight as she stood at the entrance. Abigail took a deep breath. Liam and she had better avoid such asions in the future. "Abigail." A maic voice resounded behind her. She turned around. It was Leo. Seeing him, Abigail smiled. "I didn''t see you after the party ended." "I just talked with Alexia," Leo said. Abigail nodded. "How about I drop you home?" Leo asked. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "No need, I''ll do it." At this moment, Liam''s voice came from behind. Abigail was originally trying to avoid a situation like this. Therefore, she came out first. However, it still happened. "You don''t have to drive her back even if you bring her here. " Leo said. "Whoever brings one in is responsible for sending one back." Liam looked at Leo and said firmly. It was true, but for some reason, it sounded like sophistry when it was spoken out by Liam. Leo was not angry. He stood there, tall and straight, with a determined smile. "Mr. Jones, everyone can make their own choices and decisions at present. How about we leave the right to choosing to Abigail?" Leo raised his eyebrows, looking so gentle. Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Hearing this, Liam pretended to be a gentleman. He nodded, "Of course!" At this moment, both of them looked at Abigail. Abigail stood there and didn''t want to make choice. Why did these two people leave the decision to her? Alexia helped her when they were dancing just now. But now, looking at them, she had to rely on herself. Both of them looked at Abigail. Abigail stood there and thought about what to do. Just at this moment, a taxi came over. When Abigail saw the car, she smiled. "Since I have the right to make my own choices, you can both go back. Women nowadays don''t have to rely on men. I can go back alone!" Abigail turned around and reached out to stop the taxi. When the car stopped, Abigail opened the door and looked back at Liam and Leo. "Good night!" At this moment, Leo and Liam stood there, watching Abigail get into the car and leave. Neither of them seeded. But simrly, no one failed. Even if they were angry, they had to pretend that they didn''t care. At this moment, Leo turned to look at Liam. "In that case, I''m leaving now." Liam also smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Well, goodbye." So, as Leo''s driver drove the car, he left. Liam stood there and looked at Leo''s back. He frowned and had a sense of crisis for the first time... After Abigail went back, she washed up and put on her pajamas. When she was just about to go to rest, her phone rang. She nced at it and saw that it was from Liam. She answered it directly. Liam first said, "Abigail, if you don''t change this damn ringtone again, I will kill YOU!" She didn''t expect Liam to be so angry. "Mr. Jones, even if you''re unhappy, you don''t have to be so angry. I''ll change it." Abigail said on the N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. phone. No matter how angry Liam was, she always looked calm. This woman was even more irritating than two years ago. Hearing what she said, Liam didn''t know what to say for a moment. Both of them held their phones and did not speak. After a while, Abigail said, "Mr. Jones, why are you calling sote?" Liam still didn''t say anything, or rather, didn''t know how to say it. "Mr. Jones?" Abigail asked again. "Mr. Jones, who are you calling? Come and have a drink..." Just as Liam was about to speak, a delicate female voice came from the phone. In an instant, both of them were stunned. Abigail was also dumbfounded. Hearing such a flirtatious voice, she knew what he was doing without thinking. Abigail thought about it and said, "It seems that Mr. Jones is busy. Then you should deal with your thing first. It''s veryte. I''m sleepy and going to bed. Let''s talk tomorrow at thepany." Without waiting for Liam to speak, Abigail hung up the phone. Chapter 157 Chapter 157 After hanging up, Abigail looked at her phone and was stunned for a moment. ''Why did Liam call me sote?'' ''Was he trying to show off his charm?'' Abigail frowned, muted her phone, andy down on the bed to sleep. Liam was a little upset when he heard the beep sound. ''Was this woman so eager to hang up on me?'' He was even more upset at this thought. At this moment, a man asked, "Liam, what''s wrong? Who did you call just now?" "It is Olive, isn''t it?" another man asked. The two men were Elon and Ted, members of the Four Young Masters of City A. The Four Young Masters of City A, like its name, wasposed of four rich young men of powerful families and of the same age. Others would mistake them as useless men living extravagant lives, but they were capable and powerful. They were very close. "Do you really think Olive is enough to piss him off?" At this time, Nate, who seldom talked, asked. Ted raised an eyebrow and asked, "So it''s someone else?" Nate didn''t say anything but picked up the wine ss and clinked Elon''s. "Who? Who is it? She is so charming that even the great Mr. Jones is fascinated with her and feeling so upset?" Ted asked curiously. Nate didn''t say anything and Elon remained silent. Ted got more curious. He looked at Liam and asked, "Liam, why don''t you introduce her to us?" Liam became even more annoyed. "I am leaving. You guys have fun." Then he picked up the ss and finished it in one go before he left. Watching him leave, Ted was shocked and turned to look at Nate and Elon. "What''s going on?" Nate put on a smile and said, "You can''t see?" Ted frowned and asked, "He is being serious about that girl?" Elon and Nate both smiled. Ted couldn''t help but ask, "Looks like you both know what''s going on. Tell me!" "Didn''t you see the news a few days ago?" Nate raised an eyebrow and asked. "News? There''s so much news every day. Which one are you talking about?" Ted asked, raising an eyebrow. "It''s about the Powerline Group taking over the Swift Group," Nate said. Ted thought for a while and nodded. "I saw that. But what does it have to do with this?" he asked. "Who was standing with him at the press conference?" Nate said. Ted frowned, thinking about what he had seen on TV. He suddenly realized it. "You mean that woman?" Nate nodded. "Usually, at a press conference, it is his secretary who stands next to him. But that time, it was another woman. I asked him and knew he didn''t hire a new secretary, so there''s only one possibility..." Nate drawled and looked at them. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. "What if that woman is from the PR Department?" "Did she look like someone from the PR Department?" Nate asked. Ted thought about it, recalling what Abigail looked like on TV, and then said, "No!" Chapter 158 Chapter 158 "But she''s so pure and capable, not Liam''s cup of tea," Ted said. Hearing this, Nate smiled. "What about a gamble?" Speaking of themon hobby, the three men seemed excited about it. "Sure, what''s for?" "I bet Liam is serious about that woman," Nate said decisively. "Don''t be so sure." "Are you in or not?" "Of course, I''m in." Ted nodded. "OK, the loser has to post naked pictures on Ins," Sean said calmly. "Will that be too far?" Ted said. "Otherwise, you give up now," Nate said firmly. "Come on, let''s have a bet," Ted spoke. There was no failure in his mind. The two men raised their sses. Elon watched them, "I think it was that woman, too." "OK!" The three men clinked sses. After the bet, Ted suddenly said, "I always feel like I''ve seen that woman somewhere..." The next day. Abigail was working when someone shouted at the door, "Who is Miss Abigail?" "Here I am." Abigail answered out of instinct before looking up. Looking up, she saw arge bouquet of flowers. The entire Design Department cast envious nces at her. "Miss Swift, your flowers." "From whom?" Abigail asked as she looked at the white champagne roses. "I don''t know." The courier said. Abigail nodded, and took the list, and signed it. "Thank you." The courier smiled and left. As soon as he left, Jane and a few colleagues walked up to Abigail. "Wow, who sent these beautiful champagne roses?" Jane said with a smile. Abigail looked at the flowers. "No idea, either." "Abigail, there''s a card on it." One colleague reminded her. Abigail put down the flowers and took out the card. She opened it directly. "The message of champagne roses to its recipient is: you are a match for me." There was just a confession of love without a name. Jane looked at it and read it out. "Wow, the sender is so romantic," Jane said with a smile. "Abigail, who is it?" Jane asked. N?velDrama.Org content. Abigail shook her head. "I really have no idea." "No idea? You have a secret admirer?" Jane teased. Hearing this, Abigail thought about it and frowned. She got absolutely no idea who was chasing her. Could it be... Leo? As Abigail was guessing, Liam came out of the elevator and said something to the assistant behind him. However, he saw the flowers in Abigail''s arms. He was stunned for a moment. Jane talked andughed with Abigail. Looking at the flowers in Abigail''s arms and her happy look, Liam was quite upset. He red at Abigail. As if sensing someone''s stare, Abigail turned around and saw his gaze at once. However, he turned away instead and walked towards the office. Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Abigail did not ignore the anger on his face. She just frowned and did not know why he was irritated. After a while, Abigail looked at them and said, "All right, get to work. Or Mr. Jones will kick up a fuss Hearing this, a few people shrugged their shoulders and left. Abigail put aside the Rosa Champagne she loved, sitting there and wondering who gave them to her. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Besides, only Jacob and Leo knew she liked Rosa Champagne. ''Could it be Leo?'' ''If so, why didn''t he write his name?'' Abigail thought for a while and shook her head. Well, he must have his own reasons. Then she threw herself into her work. In the afternoon, when everyone was working, she went to the drinking room. At this time, she needed a break. She made a cup of coffee and was just about to enjoy it when a voice came from behind her. "It seems that you are not busy." Hearing this, Abigail knew who the person behind her was without a backward nce. Before she could say anything, Liam strode over and pressed her down on the table. She was shocked and almost spilled all the coffee on her hand. "What are you doing?" She looked at Liam and asked. "Who gave you the flowers?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked. Looking at Liam, Abigail didn''t bother to argue with him. "I don''t know." "You don''t know?" He raised his eyebrows. "The card is not signed, so I really don''t know." Abigail looked at him and answered honestly. Her expression indicated that she was not lying. "Could it be Leo?" Liam thought for a while and said, raising his eyebrows. "I have no clue." She said. Her subconscious reaction didn''t seem fake, so he gave up. He looked straight at her and said, "Why did you hang up on me yesterday?" She blinked and said. "Mr. Jones, is that why you are here for me?" "Exactly." Looking at his serious expression, she thought for a moment, "I thought you were busy yesterday, so I hung up the phone for fear that I would disturb you." Abigail pretended to be considerate. Liam was angry. "You''re not jealous, are you?" Suddenly, he looked at her with a smirk. Hearing this, Abigail paused and said. "I''m not in a position to be jealous yet." "What do you mean?" "Am I wrong?" She asked. "You''d better ask Olive whether she is jealous." She spoke slowly and clearly. He frowned and looked at her. He found that he could see through all the women except her. He didn''t know what she was thinking. Chapter 160 Chapter 160 "Abigail!" "Isn''t it?" Abigail asked and looked at Liam. "So you don''t care which woman I''m with?" Liam raised his eyebrows and asked, his handsome face already showing a hint of anger. Abigail thought there was something wrong with Liam''s question, but she nodded. "That''s right." Liam was irritated. Looking at Abigail, he had the urge to strangle her. "By the way, Mr. Jones, please don''t call me in the middle of the night." Abigail suddenly said. "Why?" "I don''t want to be misunderstood. I get a bad impression of you. And I don''t want your reputation to be tarnished..." Abigail said leisurely. Liam was speechless. She was the only one who dared to say these words. Others only ttered Liam and did not dare to offend him. Liam was about to lose his temper, but he paused due to Abigail''s words. After some thought, Liam said, "Actually,st night..." At this moment, someone came in at the door. Hearing the footsteps, Abigail pushed Liam away subconsciously. Liam kept a meter away from Abigail. When the employee came in, he was surprised to see Liam inside. "Mr. Jones!" Liam understood what Abigail meant and sullenly stood there, but he responded coldly. At this moment, after Abigail made the coffee, she turned to look at Liam. "Mr. Jones, don''t worry. I will do my job." "I''ll go back to work if you have nothing else to say." Abigail smiled and walked past him with a cup of coffee in her hand. Her actions meant that Liam was here to warn her of working hard. As Liam was present, another employee stood at the door, not daring to move, and did not know whether toe in to get water. He could only stand at the door. At this moment, Liam turned around and saw him at the door. As the worker smiled, Liam said nothing and walked out. Abigail was happy to see Liam frustrated. Especially when she saw Liam''s gloomy look, she felt more pleasant. She sat and happily drank coffee. But she didn''t know that Liam was feeling bad in the office. The afternoon passed. Abigail received a call near the end of work. It was Leo''s. "Hello." "Abigail, what are you doing?" "Pack up and get ready to go home!" "No date after work, right?" "No, what''s wrong?" Abigail asked with a smile. "I''d like to ask you out!" On the phone, Leo said gentlemanly. Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "Even if you don''t call me, I will call you." "Then I should wait a little longer!" Leo said with a smile.N?velDrama.Org content. Chapter 161 Chapter 161 "Well, after work, I''ll pick you up," Leo said. "Is it convenient? If not, I can go there myself." Abigail said. No matter to whom, there was a slight indifference in her words. "It''s fine. I''ll go pick you up." "All right, I''ll wait for you," Abigail said. Then she hung up. Sitting there, Abigail checked the time. There was still half an hour left, so Abigail continued to work. Soon, it was time to get off work. At this moment, her phone rang again. When she saw the number, Abigail answered directly, "Hello?" "I''m already here." "I''ll be right down." As she spoke, Abigail took her phone and walked out. Not long after she left, Liam came out of the office and went to the Design Department. When he saw that Abigail''s ce was vacant, he frowned. "Where''s Abigail?" Jane, of course, answered. "Oh, she might have a date. She has left." Jane said. ''Date?'' Hearing this, Liam frowned and immediately thought of Leo.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Thinking of this, he turned around and went back to his office. When he reached the French window, he could see the door of thepany from above. At this time, a car was parked there, which was so luxurious that few could afford it. Just then, Abigail walked out of thepany. At this moment, the man in the car also came out. Liam''s face darkened when he saw it was Leo. Without a word, he took out his cell phone and dialed Abigail. Fortunately, the ringtone had changed this time. Abigail stood downstairs, watching her phone ring. She frowned but still answered. "Hello." "Abigail, where are you going?" Liam asked directly, looking downstairs. "It''s after-work time. I don''t have to report what I''m doing, right?" Abigail said leisurely. "You don''t have to report it, but don''t you know you have to work overtime?" Liam said word by word, with a hint of anger in his voice. "Well, I''ve finished all my work. There''s no need to work overtime." Liam had nothing to say. "Mr. Jones, if there''s nothing else, bye," Abigail said. Liam was silent. Abigail paused and hung up the phone after hearing no response. Downstairs. Leo was waiting for Abigail to finish the phone. "You still have work to deal with?" Leo looked at Abigail and asked. "No," Abigail said with a smile. In fact, Leo knew who called just now. It was obvious that Mr. Jones was very interested in Abigail. "Get in the car," Leo said. Abigail nodded. At this moment, Leo opened the door for Abigail gentlemanly. Abigail smiled and got in. Leo also went over, sat in the car, and drove away. Liam stood there, feeling angry. ''Abigail, in the end, you would not even know how you were hurt!'' In the car, Abigail sat in the passenger seat. Suddenly, Leo took out a bunch of flowers from behind and said, "For you!" Looking at the champagne roses, Abigail was slightly stunned and said, "Why did you buy flowers again?" "This is the first time I ask you out for dinner. Of course, I should buy flowers to show my respect." Leo said with a smile. Chapter 162 Chapter 162 But... Abigail frowned. He wasn''t the person who sent that bouquet of flowers this morning? Seeing her frown, Leo nced at her and asked, "What? You don''t like champagne roses now?" Abigail immediately shook her head and said, "Of course, I like them. But someone sent a bouquet of roses to thepany today. I thought it was you." Leo paused and said with a smile, "It is normal for great women to have many suitors." Abigail smiled and let it go. Only then did she find Leo was driving today. She knew he rarely drove. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Why did you drive today?" "I don''t think it is okay to bring a driver to our dinner," Leo said, still smiling. Abigail smiled and suddenly remembered something. She asked, "Where do you live now?" "I am staying in the hotel." "Don''t you have a house in City A? Why are you staying in a hotel?" "The house is being decorated. I''ll move in when it''s done." Leo said. Abigail turned to look at him and asked, "Do you mean you are gonna settle in City A?" "I''m not sure yet, but I might not be leaving for the time being," Leo said seriously. Abigail nodded. "What? You don''t want me to live here?" "Hell yeah. I am a little surprised. Your family is abroad, and you are here alone. I''m worried you will be lonely." Abigail said. "If that''s what you''re worried about,e over to keep mepany," Leo said. Suddenly, both of them went quiet, sensing something weird. Abigail looked at Leo, and Leo himself was stunned. He then smiled and said, "I mean, we can talk then." "Of course," Abigail said with a smile. During her two years in London, Leo had been considerate and looked out for her. "That''s settled." Leo didn''t stand on ceremony. Abigail smiled, "Of course, you are a good teacher to me. I would love to take care of you." Leo was stunned and said, "Abigail, just call me Leo." "What?" Abigail turned to look at him and asked, "Why?" "It makes me younger," Leo said with a smile. Hearing this exnation, Abigail couldn''t help but chuckle. "Okay, I''ll try my best not to forget it." Leo nodded. So, they talked andughed on the way to the restaurant. Only after they arrived did Abigail know this was the restaurant where she had dinner with Liamst time. It was one of the best restaurants in City A. It seemed that these rich people all liked to eat here. "You don''t like this ce?" Lei looked at her and asked. Abigail shook her head and said, "Of course not, everyone likes the great steak here." "You have been here before?" "Yes." Abigail nodded. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Leo didn''t ask whom she came with, and Abigail didn''t tell him. In fact, they both knew that the person who could afford to eat here must be wealthy and powerful. Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Although very few people in City A knew about Leo, a man with money was the master now. When Abigail followed Leo and walked in, the manager personally served them respectfully. After Abigail came back, they only talked on the phone asionally. They hadn''t seen each other for a long time, so they had a lot to catch up on. Leo didn''t ask how Abigail joined the Powerline Group. He didn''t even mention any sensitive topics Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. about Abigail. Because those were not important to him. What was important was Abigail''s attitude towards Liam. While they were enjoying their dinner, Liam and Olive also came. "Mr. Harris, Miss Swift, I didn''t expect to meet you here." Liam looked at them and said with a smile, but that smile definitely didn''t look really happy. Olive took Liam''s arm and frowned when she saw Abigail sitting with Leo. Olive had never seen Leo before, nor did she know him, but his imposing manner and appearance showed that he wasn''t worse than Liam. ''Why does Abigail know so many big shots?'' Olive was very dissatisfied, but she thought Abigail should not be fighting with her for Liam since she had such a man. This thought put out the anger in her heart. Leo sat there and saw Liam and Olive appear together. He smiled and stood up. "What a coincidence, Mr. Jones! Do you want to have dinner with us?" Hearing this, Liam raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course." As he spoke, he was about to take his seat. It was obvious that Leo gave the invitation just out of courtesy, but Liam didn''t refuse it. Olive was surprised by Liam''s answer. Leo smiled and sat down calmly as if he didn''t mind it all. "Who''s this beautifuldy, Mr. Jones?" Leo looked at Olive and asked. Before Liam could speak, Olive took the initiative to introduce herself. "Hello, I am Olive, Liam''s girlfriend!" Leo nodded. "Hello, I''m Leo." They reached out and shook hands. "Leo, you and Miss Swift..." Olive was eager to know what their rtionship was. Hearing Olive''s words, Leo smiled. "Our rtionship is tooplicated to be exined within a few words." This sentence was very ambiguous to those who were sensitive, and it was normal for those who didn''t think much. However, it was obvious that Olive was sensitive. Abigail sat there and watched them talk without saying anything. From the beginning to the end, she wore a slight smile on her face. Olive looked at Leo. At least, she was sure that Leo was interested in Abigail. Liam also sat there and watched them talk without interrupting. His eyes were fixed on Abigail. Abigail''s expression was faint, but she didn''t even look over here. Liam looked displeased. Olive kept talking to Leo and even said, "Miss Swift is very nice." The sentence almost choked Abigail. It was the first time she had heard Olive say that she was nice. To be honest, this woman was good at pretending. In order to sell Abigail out, she could say anything against conscience. Chapter 164 Chapter 164 Watching them chat, Abigail smiled and stood up. "Excuse me, I''m going to the bathroom." So she got up and left. Olive was in a daze and then smiled. Ten secondster, Liam also stood up, "Excuse me." After that, he left without waiting for the others to speak. At this moment, only Olive and Leo were left at the table. Olive suddenly had a feeling that Liam had asked her out today just to "bump into" them. At the thought of this, she felt somehow annoyed. Looking at Liam''s back, she frowned. Leo sat there, looking calm. Olive''s expression had betrayed her, and there was no need for him to look so worried. In the bathroom, Abigail had just walked out when she was caught and pressed against the wall. Then a man came over. Abigail was shocked and looked at the man in front of her in horror. When she saw that it was Liam, she frowned. "Liam, do you have to y this kind of trick? You scared me." Abigail looked at him and said. Liam didn''t take it seriously. He just pressed her against the wall and his handsome face was filled with discontent and anger. "Abigail, how dare you hang up on me again and again?" Liam looked at her and said word by word. Looking at his angry face, Abigail frowned. "Mr. Jones, I..." The next second, before Abigail could speak, Liam suddenly leaned over and kissed Abigail on the lips. Abigail was shocked and couldn''t help but widen her eyes. At this moment, the people passing by the bathroom could not help looking at them in a strange and surprising way. Abigail was really going crazy. Liam would be angry, regardless of the asion. She tried to push Liam away but found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not make it. Liam was like an addict, kissing her lips and sucking on her tongue. He didn''t care what others thought of them. "Liam..." In a hurry, Abigail suddenly bit his lip, and Liam released her in pain. "Damn!" Liam cursed and looked at Abigail. "Abigail, are you a dog?" Abigail looked at him with a sneer. "Liam, behave yourself." ''Behave?'' Hearing her words, Liam sneered. "Abigail, you seem to have forgotten. I said that if you offend me again, I will punish you. And every time, I will punish you harder." Liam looked at her and said word by word. "Lunatic," Abigail said. "That''s because you''re driving me crazy," Liam said fiercely. Seeing her standing with Leo made him lose his mind. But his words suddenly stunned Abigail. She looked straight at Liam, and Liam looked at her too. Blood flew from the corner of his mouth... N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. "Okay, I got it. I''m having a meal with Liam now. Let''s talk about itter!" At that moment, Olive''s voice came from outside, and her footsteps were getting closer and closer. Chapter 165 Chapter 165 Abigail paused for a moment. If Olive saw them, she might misunderstand their rtionship. Abigail took a deep look at Liam and then left. She had just walked out when Olive came over, and the two of them happened to meet. Abigail didn''t greet her and directly walked past her. Olive frowned. Although she didn''t like Abigail very much, she had to pretend to be polite on this asion. She nced at her and walked towards the bathroom. At this time, Liam also came out and met Olive. "Liam." Just then, when she saw Liam, Olive walked up and asked, "What took you so long?" "Nothing," Liam answered casually, looking at Abigail''s back. Olive had long felt that Liam was very interested in Abigail, which had already caused her dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to speak, Olive keenly noticed that Liam''s lips were injured and bleeding. "Liam, what happened to your mouth?" Olive asked. After hearing Olive''s words, Liam reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth. "It''s fine." Olive stood there, not knowing what to do or even what to say. Looking at Liam''s back and thinking of Abigail''s hasty departure, she realized what was going on in an instant. At that moment, the humiliation of being cheated on rose in her heart. Olive clenched her fists. She could imagine what they did just now. When Abigail walked back, she saw that Leo sat there alone. Abigail sat down and looked at him, apologizing. "Sorry, I left you alone." Leo smiled and said nothing. At this moment, Liam also returned and sat down. When Leo saw Liam''s lips, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he said nothing. After a while, Olive came over. Although she knew what had just happened, she still had to pretend that she didn''t know anything. Looking at Abigail and Liam, Olive felt unspeakably ufortable. Soon, the meal was served. At this time, Leo was helping Abigail cut the steak tenderly. Abigail sat there and smiled. She wasn''t a pretentious person. She had known Leo for such a long time. Every time she ate western cuisine, Leo would help her. She already got used to it. "Thank you." Abigail smiled at Leo. Looking at their interaction, Liam put on a straight face. ''Abigail, do you have no hands? Can''t you cut the god damn steak yourself?'' Liam began to torture the steak on his te, treating it as Abigail''s face. He red at Abigail as if he was about to kill her. But Abigail kept eating and never looked up at him. No matter how Liam looked at her, she never met his eyes. At this moment, Olive couldn''t help but say, "Leo, I didn''t expect you to be so considerate." Her words N?velDrama.Org content. were meaningful. Chapter 166 Chapter 166 Hearing this, Leo smiled, "That''s what I should do." "Besides, I believe Abigail has been used to it." At this moment, Leo looked at Abigail and said. Hearing what Leo said, Abigail looked up and smiled, but said nothing. For some reason, Abigail didn''t like Olive to talk, and she always felt that her every word had a different meaning. At this moment, Olive looked up at Liam and said, "Liam, you have to learn from Leo." After hearing Olive''s words, Liam nced at her, and then said, "I can''t do such a sentimental thing." N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Hearing Liam''s targeted words, all three were speechless. After dinner, Liam needed to send Olive back this time, and Leo was going to send Abigail back. "Let''s meet next time, Mr. Jones," Leo said with a smile. Liam replied, showing his imposing manner, "Okay, thank you for your treat tonight. I''ll treat you next time." Leo raised his eyebrows and acquiesced, "Bye.." Leo turned to look at Abigail and said, "Let''s go." Abigail nodded, didn''t even say goodbye to Liam, and left with Leo. Liam stood there, looking at Abigail''s back, and frowned... It wasn''t until Abigail got into Leo''s car and left that Olive spoke. "Liam, let''s go." "OK!" Liam answered and walked over to the car. Olive followed him. But it was obvious that Liam was not in a good mood. Olive sat aside while Liam was driving, but she could feel that Liam was distracted. "Liam..." Liam did not answer. Olive frowned and said again, "Liam..." This time, Liam came back to his senses. "What''s wrong?" Liam asked. "Why did you ask me out for dinner tonight?" Olive looked at him and asked. Hearing this, Liam frowned. "Why did you ask this question? Don''t you like the dinner?" "Yes, I do. But I feel that we haven''t had dinner together for a long time," Olive said with a smile, which was especially bitter. Liam could also feel herints and said after thinking for a while, "There are many things in the Hearing this, Olive smiled and nodded, "Sure!" Liam didn''t say anything but drove the car. "I think Leo is pretty special. I can feel that he likes Abigail very much." Olive said. Liam frowned. He really didn''t want someone to mention these two names at the same time now. "Really?" Liam asked coldly and he sounded very dissatisfied. "Yes." Olive nodded, "Moreover, I can see that Abigail has a different feeling for Leo. The feeling is different from that for Jacob." Olive spected over there. Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Hearing this, Liam didn''t say anything but just sneered. "I think Abigail must like Leo. What do you think, Liam?" Olive said and turned to look at Liam. After hearing this, Liam smiled. "I don''t think so." "How can you tell?" Olive asked. "From my intuition," Liam said leisurely but was a little angry. After hearing Liam''s words, Olive sullenly looked straight at Liam. At this time, Liam suddenly pulled up. "Olive, I suddenly remembered something else to deal with. I can''t send you back." At this moment, Liam said. Hearing this, Olive looked at Liam as if she was looking for clues from Liam''s expression. But she failed. "Liam, do you like Abigail?" At this moment, Olive looked at Liam and asked. Hearing this, Liam frowned and looked at her unhappily. "What did you say?" "Why do I feel that everything has changed since Abigail appeared..." Olive looked at Liam and said slowly. Looking at Olive''s eyes, Liam frowned. "You think too much." "Really?" Olive asked. "You don''t believe me?" Liam asked. Hearing this, Olive had a mixed feeling and then said, "No. It''s just..." Olive didn''t know how to describe that feeling. "Okay, don''t think so much." At this moment, Liam looked at Olive and said. "I''ll send you back." Liam didn''t say anything more, but started the car and drove directly to the Millers. Along the way, neither of them said anything. When they reached the entrance of the Miller''s vi, Liam said, "Here we are. You can go back home." Olive sat there and pulled her seat belt open. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Olive suddenly reached out and hugged Liam. Liam was surprised. "Liam, even if you lie to me, I don''t care, as long as you don''t leave me," Olive whispered. After hearing Olive''s words, Liam frowned. "Olive..." "Don''t say anything." At this moment, Olive loosened Liam and looked at him. "Liam, I love you. I am willing to trust you!" "Okay, I know you still have something to do. You go back and I''lle back home!" Olive was about to get out of the car. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Olive..." Liam called, but Olive didn''t answer. She closed the door and ran back. Liam sat in the car, looked at Olive''s back, and frowned. After a few minutes, Liam drove away. He had just left when Olive, who was standing on the balcony upstairs, came out. When she saw Liam leaving, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly... She would never let go of anything that belonged to her. Absolutely not! No matter who! Chapter 168 Chapter 168 However, Abigail was sitting in the car with Leo. It was quiet, and even if no one spoke, she wouldn''t feel awkward. Abigail kept looking out the window, thinking quietly. Finally, it was Leo who broke the silence. "Are you unhappy tonight?" Leo asked. Hearing this, Abigail turned around and smiled at Leo. "No." "Your expression tells me you''re not happy about this dinner." Leo was very sure. "It''s just because the person whom I don''t want to see showed up in front of me," Abigail told the truth. Hearing this, Leo turned to look at Abigail. "You don''t seem to get along well with them." Abigail smiled. "No. We are not the same people." Looking at Abigail''s expression, Leo smiled and didn''t ask more. He drove all the way quietly. Soon, they arrived at Abigail''s apartment. Abigail unfastened her seat belt and turned to look at Leo. "I was supposed to treat you to dinner today, but I didn''t expect you to pay for it." Hearing Abigail''s words, Leo smiled. "It''s your turn next time." Abigail chuckled. "Okay, I''ll treat you then!" "Good." Leo nodded, smiling and looking at Abigail with gentle eyes. "Well, I''ll go up first," Abigail said. "Good night." "Good night." Abigail smiled, pushed open the door, and walked down. Standing outside the car, she said, "Drive safe." "I will." Leo nodded and drove away. Abigail stood there and watched Leo''s car drive away before going up. It was already eleven o''clock in the evening. After Abigail went back, she went to take a bath and removed her makeup. At this time, what had just happened in the restaurant shed in her mind. Abigail then shook her head to throw it out of her mind. ''They are really about to drive me crazy.'' ''Olive almost saw it. If so, she will perhaps kill me! Why is she so obsessed with that Liam?'' At this moment, the phone on the bed rang. She was in the shower and didn''t hear it at all. When she heard it, she immediately walked out. As soon as she picked up her phone, the phone was hung up, and there were more than a dozen missed calls on the phone. Abigail turned on her phone, only to find that all the missed calls came from one person. Liam! Abigail frowned. Just then, her phone rang again.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Finally, Abigail pressed the answer button and answered the phone. "Abigail... Abigail, you finally answer the phone?" At this moment, Liam''s voice came over. Abigail frowned and asked, "What''s wrong?" "I have called you more than a dozen times just now, but you didn''t answer me at all. I thought something happened to you." Liam yelled on the phone. The nervousness in his tone made Abigail''s heart tremble. Abigail was in a daze, and then she said, "I''m fine. I was in the shower just now." Hearing this, Abigail could feel Liam''s relieved sound through the phone. At that moment, Abigail could not describe her feeling. Chapter 169 Chapter 169 "Where are you?" At this moment, Abigail asked. Surprised, Liam replied, "Downstairs." Abigail felt speechless. Then, she walked to the balcony and was a little stunned when seeing him there, which she didn''t expect. "It''ste now..." "Come down." "Hmm?" "Come down!" The man said again. Hearing this, Abigail was surprised. "It''s already veryte." "Either youe here, or I go upstairs. It depends on you." Liam said. "Wait a minute, I''ll go downstairs now." Then, Abigail hung up the phone and reluctantly put on clothes before walking down. The man''s car just stopped over there. Abigail thought for a few seconds and walked over. But Liam opened the car''s door. "Get in." "Hmm?" "Get in the car," Liam ordered. Looking at Liam, Abigail did so reluctantly. At night, it was a little chilly. It was much better to close the door, but it was a little narrow and the atmosphere was weird inside the car. "Mr. Jones, why are you here?" Abigail asked, with her eyes looking ahead. Hearing that, Liam turned to Abigail. "Can''t I ask you out if I have nothing to tell you?" Abigail felt speechless. "You can, but it''s sote, and others may misunderstand our rtionship," Abigail said. "Misunderstand? Who will misunderstand?" Liam asked, "Leo?" Hearing the name, Abigail frowned. "I mean all the people." "When did you start to care about this?" Liam asked. Abigail retorted, "When did I not care?" "When you married me," Liam said word by word. Abigail was speechless. She found that he could always make her speechless. "You chose to marry me before without caring about your reputation. Are you afraid that others will misunderstand us now?" As he spoke, Liam slowly moved closer with his deep eyes fixed on Abigail''s fair face.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Abigail frowned and leaned back a little. She couldn''t help speaking out, "I had no choice at that time." "No choice?" Hearing this, Liam frowned. "So if you had had a choice, you would have refused to marry me?" Almost without thinking, Abigail nodded. "Yes." Liam was instantly enraged. He always knew that their marriage was a marriage of self-interest, but he was still surprised and dissatisfied to hear Abigail''s firm words. "Abigail!" Liam stared at her and called out. "Didn''t you? If you had a choice, you wouldn''t have married me as well." Abigail stared at Liam and rebutted word by word. But for Robert''s force, he probably wouldn''t have agreed with the marriage. What the girl said stunned Liam. Indeed, she was right. If he had had a choice, he would never have married her... But now... Then, Abigail turned to Liam. "Mr. Jones, actually, I had something to tell you." Chapter 170 Chapter 170 After hearing Abigail''s words, Liam frowned at her. "What?" "I think we have to rify something." Abigail looked at Liam and said word by word. She hated such an ambiguous rtionship. "Okay?" "First, we are no longer a couple. We are divorced. Second, you''re not my boyfriend." "So?" "So should you think about it before you do anything?" Abigail asked. "Thinking about what?" Liam asked back. Abigail bet Liam understood what she meant. "Mr. Jones, you know what I mean." "No, I don''t," Liam said directly. Abigail was speechless. Seeing Liam ying dumb, Abigail thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let me tell you, there''s nothing between us. So please don''t suddenly kiss me in the future." Abigail said word by word. These words were already within Liam''s expectations. Instead of getting angry, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who said there''s nothing between us?" "Is there?" Abigail asked in reply. "Don''t forget, you''re my ex-wife..." Liam spaced every word for emphasis. Abigail lost her words. "Mr. Jones, as you said, I''m your ex-wife. We are divorced, which meant we have no legal rtion anymore. So please behave yourself in the future. I don''t want this to happen again." Abigail said seriously. Liam frowned. He just wanted to talk to her, but he didn''t expect her to be so serious. "Really?" Liam suddenly sneered. "Then if I tell you that I won''t, what will you do?" Liam was irritated. Abigail frowned at his words. When Liam wanted to be perverse, she really had no choice. After some thought, Abigail said, "Then I have to resign." Hearing this, Liam suddenly frowned. "You''re threatening me?" "I just want a in life. I''m not threatening you." "Do you mean that my appearance has disturbed your life?" Liam asked word for word. "I didn''t say that." "That''s what you mean." Staring at him, Abigail asked suddenly. "Do you know the consequence if Olive saw today''s incident?" Hearing this, Liam frowned. "People tend to be jealous. I don''t want to get involved in the matter between you two." Every word Abigail said sounded very reasonable, but unpleasant to Liam. "What about you?" "Me?" "Abigail, have you forgotten what you said? Have you forgotten our agreement?" Liam was almost mad. Abigail paused for a moment and then said, "I haven''t forgotten. I just don''t want to be..."N?velDrama.Org content. Chapter 171 Chapter 171 "Of course, I''ll deal with things between me and her. Abigail, if you dare to resign, I will acquire the Swift Group. If you don''t believe me, you can try.." Liam looked at Abigail and said word by word. After hearing Liam''s words, Abigail frowned. "Liam, you promised me not to acquire the Swift Group anymore." "You promised me you wouldn''t quit!" Looking at Liam, Abigail suddenly realized she got the upper hand. Thinking of this, Abigail nodded. "OK, I won''t resign." Hearing this, Liam nodded with satisfaction. "But you also promised not to harass me," Abigail said. "That depends on my mood," Liam said. Looking at Liam, Abigail felt that she could do nothing to him. "Liam, your behavior gives me the thought that you''ve fallen for me." Abigail suddenly looked at Liam and said. Hearing this, Liam froze and gave her a more meaningful look. After Abigail asked this, she regretted it a little. Looking at Liam''s eyes, she felt a little guilty. She didn''t know what to do. At this moment, Liam looked at her. "What if I do?" Abigail froze and looked at Liam, unable to tell whether he was telling the truth or not. "What if I do?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked again. Abigail paused, then said, "Whatever." "What about you?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked. Abigail sat there and looked at Liam in a daze. "Tell me, what about you?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked her. He wanted to know what Abigail was thinking. Seeing Liam approaching, Abigail immediately regained her senses. "I don''t." After hearing Abigail''s words, Liam frowned. "Liam, I''ve told you that it depends on your ability to win my wholehearted love." "I don''t know what will happen in the future, but now, I don''t like you." Abigail looked at Liam and said. Liam frowned as he looked at Abigail''s determined look. ''She doesn''t like me!'' At this moment, a smile appeared on his face. "Really? Abigail, I will make you like me." Liam looked at Abigail and said a little anxiously. But Liam was suddenly stunned for a moment and then corrected, "No, I will make you fall in love with me." Abigail was sitting right in front of Liam, and when she heard what he said, Abigail smiled. There was no sarcasm in her smile. "That depends on what you can do, but judging from my previous experience,N?velDrama.Org content. I cal tell I won''t fall in love with you so easily." Abigail pushed open the door and got out of the car, looking at Liam. "Mr. Jones, it''ste. I''m going back. Take care on your way home." Abigail asked him to leave. It irritated her to discuss this with Liam. Liam was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at Abigail with a determined smile. "Abigail, you must be with me for the rest of your life," Liam muttered. Chapter 172 Chapter 172 After hearing Liam''s words, Abigail smiled at him. "Mr. Jones, it''ste. I''m tired too. I''m going upstairs." Then she turned to leave. Liam was not angry. He thought that love was a game, but he never thought that love was mutual. In this game, he was not the only one who lost... The next day. A piece of breaking news hit the headline of the newspaper in City A: Leo and Liam reached out to Abigail for a dance at the same time. And there was attached arge photo. The scene was beautiful, but the title was... too dramatic. "The president of the Powerline Group and the president of Payne who returned from overseas were inviting a beauty at the same time ..." Abigail''s side face could be seen in the photo, which meant it was taken secretly in a corner. The news spread like a virus in City A soon. It was not Liam and Leo who came under the spotlight, but Abigail. The public wondered what kind of woman would cause such a sensation. When Abigail got up and saw the news, she almost spat out the milk in her mouth. It had been two days. What did it mean to release the news now? Abigail read the headline while holding back her impulse. Basically, it said that she was in the limelight at the party, since Liam and Leo were fighting for her. Fortunately, the gossip news did not throw mud at her. As a richdy, she didn''t care about such juicy news, but she had always kept a low profile and didn''t like to appear on the news page. She even never mentioned that she was the daughter of the Swifts, nor did she appear in gossip magazines. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. And now that she appeared with Liam and Leo at the same time, it was impossible for her not to be noticed. Liam had always been on the page, and as Leo just returned, the public was also curious about him... It suddenly reminded Abigail. She immediately picked up her phone and called Liam. The call was soon answered. "Hello..." "Mr. Jones, it''s me, Abigail." "I know," Liam replied on the phone. Abigail thought about it and asked directly, "Have you read today''s newspaper." Liam was sitting in the car and reading a newspaper in his hand. "Yes." "What do you think of it?" Abigail asked. "The photo looks good," Liam said. He was no longer surprised by the rumors. Besides, every time he had a scandal, it would make the Powerline Group more famous, so of course, he didn''t care. Abigail lost her words. "And?" "They should post the next scene to show which of us won. That would be perfect." Liam said. Abigail didn''t know what to say. Chapter 173 Chapter 173 ''Are we talking the same thing?'' "Mr. Jones, shouldn''t we find a way to deal with this kind of news now?" Abigail asked directly. "Why should we deal with it? Besides, this news will also increase ourpany awareness. It''s good." Liam said. Hearing this, Abigail was stunned. An idea suddenly urred to her and she said, "Mr. Jones, did you release this news on purpose?" Hearing Abigail''s question, Liam asked, "Am I that idle?" Abigail didn''t say anything. "It looks like you don''t like to be mentioned in gossip magazines." Liam guessed. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. "Not everyone likes to be in the limelight like you, Mr. Jones," Abigail said. Hearing this, Liam frowned. He didn''t know whether Abigail praised him or mocked him. "What did you mean by that?" Liam asked. "Nothing." "Go to the PR Department immediately. If you don''t get there in half an hour, you''ll be punished." Then Liam hung up the phone. Abigail frowned at her phone. She didn''t know what Liam was going to do, but she had to obey his order. So she changed her shoes and hurried to thepany. Abigail took a taxi and felt a little embarrassed to see the newspaper in the taxi. Fortunately, she put on the makeup and was well-dressed that day, looking a little different from now. Otherwise, Abigail was really afraid that someone pointed at the newspaper and asked her, "Are you this person?" At this moment, the driver looked at her through the rearview mirror and then at the newspaper. Abigail noticed his eyes. After thinking for a while, she couldn''t help but say, "I''m sorry. I''m in a hurry, please drive faster." Hearing what Abigail said, the driver nodded, then sped up and drove towards the Powerline Group. However, he kept ncing at Abigail with a curious look. Abigail didn''t care. She looked out the window, hoping to get there soon. Liam sat in the car and hung up the phone with Abigail. He looked unhappy and then dialed a number. He waited for a long time before it was connected. "Hello?" "Ted, what did you mean?" Liam began to question him. Ted''snguid voice came through the phone. "I just picked up the phone a littlete. Why are you so angry?" As he spoke, he slowly got up and leaned on the head of the bed. Then he casually picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it, and smoked. "You know what I''m talking about," Liam said. "Is that..." "Today''s headline!" Liam said. Hearing this, Ted was stunned. Then he said with a smile, "You''re wee." Liam was speechless. He wanted to kill him. "Ted, who asked you to publish this news?" Liam asked, gritting his teeth. "You." "When did I do it?" "You said that I could release your love affairs as I wish. Hey, bro, I have refused many celebrities, and just save that page for you." Ted said. Chapter 174 Chapter 174 Hearing this, Liam was in a daze. "When did I say that?" "Three years ago." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Liam was speechless. "Am I good to you? I remember everything you said." Ted said with a smile as he smoked. ''Three years ago?'' Liam remembered that he just married Abigail at that time. In order to get a divorce, he kept going out with women, but she had no reaction. At that time, he told Ted that as long as it was about his scandal, Ted could publish them as much as he could... Until they finally got divorced. At this moment, hearing Ted''s words, Liam was stunned. "You are really my Good Buddy!" Liam said word by word. Ted smiled. "Don''t feel touched. I''ve always stood up for my brothers." Liam was speechless again. How did Liam feel that Ted did this on purpose? "But I don''t want this headline anymore," Liam said word by word. "Why?" Ted asked, "This is not your style. This kind of exposure is also conducive to improving the reputation of the Powerline Group. Kill two birds with one stone. Why not?" "I''ve always relied on its own strength to raise the Powerline Group''s reputation. I don''t need this public opinion anymore." Liam said word by word. He felt lucky that Abigail was not here. Or she would tease him. He just said that it could raise the Powerline Group''s reputation. What a fast change! "But it''s already published," Ted asked. "That''s your business. I believe you have a way to stop it." Liam said. He knew that Ted was more capable than him in this aspect. "Even if you''re worried about the reputation of the Powerline Group, I''m still concerned about my sales. Why don''t you show up to raise the sale number of ourpany?" Ted said with a smile. "Why don''t you go to find Nate and Elon? Their news isn''t less valuable than mine." Liam gritted his teeth and said word by word. "They have no interesting affairs," Ted said leisurely. "Are you sure?" Hearing this, Liam couldn''t help but sneer. "At least, I can''t get a handle on them." Liam said, "Do you want some news about them? I can give you." Ted was speechless. "Right, why are you so anxious to suppress this news?" Ted suddenly changed the subject. "No reason." "Liam, you''re not interested in the woman, are you?" Ted suddenly asked with a smile. Liam said, "I don''t know what you''re talking about." "Really?" "Cut it out." Liam said, "Anyway, stop spreading this news." "If you want me to do it, you should promise one thing," Ted said. Liam frowned. Chapter 175 Chapter 175 "What is it?" "Show us that woman, and I''ll help you suppress the news," Ted said. Liam didn''t speak. "Deal. I''ll wait for you at mypany." Ted hung up the phone and smiled confidently. He couldn''t lose the bet. In any case, he wanted to find out the truth. Liam frowned. He didn''t expect Ted to make this offer, but after knowing Ted for so many years, Liam knew that if he couldn''t do it, Ted would definitely not suppress the news. ''Does Ted want to see Abigail?'' Liam frowned and raised a smile. Soon, Liam entered thepany. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Not long after that, the big star Abigail arrived. They all knew that after Abigail entered the Powerline Group, she undertook a lot of big cases, and she always followed Liam. They didn''t think much about it, but when they saw the news today... They were all stunned. What the heck? Abigail was dressed so beautifully, and at the same time, two outstanding men invited her... Moreover, it seemed that they were already familiar with each other... Soon, there were many guesses in thepany. When Abigail arrived, she went straight to Liam''s office. "Mr. Jones." Abigail looked at Liam and said. Liam looked at her. "Pretty punctual." Abigail, "..." How dare she not be punctual? Liam had threatened her, after all. "Have you thought of a way to deal with the news?" Abigail didn''t argue with him but asked directly. After ncing at Abigail, Liam said, "There are so many people looking forward to being in the news, but you are so eager to push it away." Abigail smiled. "I don''t want to be famous." Looking at Abigail''s smile, Liam gave her a supercilious look. This woman always had a smiling face when she faced him, but it was not that kind of heartfelt smile. The thought of it made him unhappy. He nced at her, "If you don''t want to live like this, follow me." Abigail was stunned, and Liam walked right past her. Abigail, though doubtful, followed him. "Where are we going?" "You''ll know when we get there," Liam said coldly. In the car, Abigail and Liam were sitting in the back seat. The driver was driving and neither of them spoke. Abigail had a strange feeling. Although Liam didn''t say anything, Abigail seemed to trust him. At this moment, Liam picked up his phone and dialed a number directly. "I''ll be at yourpany in five minutes." "OK, I''ll wait for you." After a brief conversation, he hung up. Chapter 176 Chapter 176 Abigail didn''t know who he was fighting with, nor did she ask. After Liam got out of the car, Abigail followed. Abigail didn''t know where it was until she arrived. They were at thergest entertainmentpany in City A. Thepany monopolized a lot of projects. Abigail watched around. At this moment, Liam walked into the building directly. Looking at Liam walking in without being stopped, Abigail was stunned and then followed. Some even nodded to greet Liam when they saw him. As soon as they walked in, someone looked at Abigail strangely. Abigail naturally knew what they were looking at, but she didn''t take it seriously. At this moment, Liam went straight to the elevator and walked in, followed by Abigail. After they went in, someone wanted to get on the elevator, but when they saw Liam inside, they took another one. When the elevator door closed, Abigail stood there and thought to herself that Liam seemed quite popr here. "Mr. Jones, is this your property?" Abigail looked at him and asked. Liam paused, then said, "No." Abigail raised an eyebrow and said nothing. However, she was sure that Liam must have a good rtionship with the boss of thispany. Just as she was thinking, the elevator door opened with a ding. Liam went straight out, and Abigail followed closely behind him. "Mr. Jones." "Where is Mr. Baker?" "He''s waiting for you in his office." Liam nodded and went straight to Ted''s office. Without even knocking on the door, Liam walked in and Abigail followed closely behind him. But the most unexpected thing happened. There was a sexy beauty inside. When they went in, the woman was rubbing against Ted coquettishly. The woman was startled when the door opened. At this moment, Ted looked at the two by the door. "Liam, can you at least knock on the door?" "When did you knock on the door when you entered my office?" Liam asked. He didn''t mind what he saw just now, and Abigail turned to look around. It seemed that all these men were the same. She remembered the first time she saw Liam when she came back, she was also at the door... Although she didn''t see anything, she could hear what was going on inside. Hearing Liam''s words, Ted was not angry and judging by the way they talked to each other, one could tell that they were very close. At this moment, Ted looked at the woman beside him. "You go out first. I''ll entertain my friends." So the woman nodded and went out. At this moment, there were only three of them left in the office. What Abigail couldn''t figure out was why Liam brought her here. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Ted walked up to them, not looking at Liam, but at Abigail. "So this is our legendary woman. She looks even better than in the photo!" Ted said. Only then did Abigail see the person in front of her clearly. ''Ted.'' Although Abigail had never seen him, she had heard of him. He had a very good rtionship with Liam. Only now did Abigail know that he was the boss of the biggest entertainmentpany in City A. Chapter 177 Chapter 177 Abigail stood there, smiling. "Hello, Mr. Baker." Her words made Ted surprised. "You know me?" "Of course, I''ve heard of you, the legendary Mr. Baker," Abigail said casually. Although no one had exined anything to her, Abigail now realized that the news had been released by Ted''spany. That was why Liam brought her here. But she couldn''t understand what was the use of bringing her here. Tedughed, "You''re indeed interesting." He stared at Abigail. "But, why do you look so familiar to me?" Abigail felt speechless. Even Ted could tell that she looked familiar. But Liam just couldn''t recognize her. Abigail smiled. "I''m Miss Average. Everyone who sees me thinks I''m familiar!" "No, no, no. If you''re Miss Average, the models of mypany will be too ashamed to be models." Ted said with a smile. Then he turned around to the cupboard, took out a bottle of red wine, and filled three sses. He walked over to Liam and Abigail and handed each of them one ss. "Nice to meet you," Ted said with a smile, reaching out to clink Abigail''s ss, and drank it in one go. Ted was the kind of man who appeared to be wild but actually charming. His every move was charming. He seemed to be showing his mour all the time. Liam didn''t say anything. He stood aside, drinking the wine slowly. He wanted to see what Ted was up to. Abigail stood there and stared at Ted for a while. Finally, she couldn''t help but ask, "Mr. Baker, is it your Ted was drinking when she said that. He nodded then. "Yes." As she had guessed. "Well, can you withdraw the news?" Abigail asked. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Ted was surprised. He moved the ss away from his lips. It turned out that the person who wanted to withdraw the news was not Liam, but Abigail. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Liam, who was leaning against his desk without any expression. He wanted to see what Ted was up to. Ted raised his eyebrows and looked back at Abigail. "I''m afraid I can''t withdraw the news now, but... If you want, the news about you won''t be released again tomorrow." "Can you do that for me?" Abigail asked. Staring at Abigail, Ted raised his eyebrows. "How can I refuse a beauty like you?" "Thank you, Mr. Baker." Abigail reached out her ss, clinked Ted''s and took a sip, regardless of whether he wanted. Ted was surprised by her behavior. He could tell that the woman in front of him was witty and knew how to seize on opportunities. Liam watched this behind him... This woman was much more clever than the other women in handling affairs. Ted was stunned and understood why Nate had said that. Indeed, she was much more interesting than the other woman, Olive. Ted also took a sip of red wine. "You''re wee." Chapter 178 Chapter 178 At this moment, Ted looked at Abigail. "You know how to seize opportunities. Interesting." "Mr. Baker, I believe that you will keep your promise." "Of course." He turned to look at Liam. "I''m more trustworthy than Liam, right?" As he spoke, he gave a meaningful smile. Abigail was in a daze, realizing that Ted had misunderstood their rtionship. "Gossip is always fake. Don''t take it seriously. I''m just one subordinate of Mr. Jones." Abigail exined. Hearing this, Liam pulled a long face. ''Why did this woman rify our rtionship so anxiously?'' Hearing this, Ted raised his eyebrow. "Oh? Really?" Abigail nodded and replied briefly, "Of course." Sometimes, exining too much meant guilty. But she inadvertently nced at Liam, whose angry deep-set eyes were fixed on her. Abigail looked away as if she hadn''t seen them. Ted smiled and continued, "Miss Swift, you know, Liam is a very popr rich bachelor." "He has a girlfriend.," Abigail said calmly. Obviously, she was referring to Olive. Ted was in a daze. It seemed that this woman knew a lot. Liam red at Ted. "Are you done with it?" Ted raised his eyebrows and stopped talking, but there was a meaningful smile on his lips. At this moment, Liam walked up to Abigail and said, "Abigail, are you sure I belong to someone else?" Liam looked at her and asked word by word. Hearing this, Abigail understood what Liam meant and smiled. "At least you belong to someone else now." Listening to their conversation, Ted narrowed his eyes. It seemed that there was an unusual rtionship between the two of them. Just as Liam was about to say something, Abigail''s cell phone rang. It rescued her from the embarrassing situation. "I''m sorry, Mr. Jones. I''m going out to pick up my phone." Abigail turned around and walked out. Liam looked at her back meaningfully. Liam turned to look at Ted and said, "Are you happy to tease me?" Hearing what Liam had said, Ted raised his eyebrow, saying, "I''m just trying to help you examine how this woman is." N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. "What about the result?" "Interesting, much more interesting than Olive," Ted said with a smile. He didn''t mention the bet with Nate. If Liam knew it, he would kill them both. Liam red at him and said, "If nothing else, I''ll go back." Then he left. Ted didn''t try to retain him. At this moment, Abigail was answering the phone outside. It was Leo. "I just saw the news," Leo said. He knew that Abigail didn''t like these gossip magazines, and even he was surprised when seeing the news. Chapter 179 Chapter 179 Abigail smiled. "It has been solved." Hearing this, Leo frowned. "Solved?" N?velDrama.Org content. "Yes, Mr. Jones dealt with it. It will be withdrawn tomorrow." Abigail said. Leo said, "Sorry, I shouldn''t have caused you trouble." "None of us expected it to happen. It doesn''t matter!" Abigail replied. Now that all has been settled, Leo didn''t say much. "Well, that''s it. I still have something to do. We''ll have a talk another day." "Okay." After the brief conversation, he hung up. "Was it Leo?" At this moment, Liam''s voice resounded behind Abigail. Abigail was startled and immediately turned around, only to find that Liam was standing behind her. "Mr. Jones, don''t you know it''s impolite to eavesdrop on others?" Abigail asked. Liam frowned. This woman was very gentle when talking to anyone else, except him. "Did I eavesdrop?" Liam asked, eyeing her. "You answered the phone here. I was just forced to hear that." Liam said. Abigail felt speechless. "Right?" Liam stared at her and asked. Looking at the man, Abigail felt helpless. The corners of her mouth moved up. "Yes, you''re right." Seeing her fake smile, Liam felt quite annoyed. "Go back to thepany." Liam left. Abigail was surprised but quickly followed him. Not long after they left, Ted dialed a number. "How is it?" Of course, it was Nate who answered the phone. "Well, it''s a little interesting. I can tell that Liam is serious this time..." Ted replied. "What? Are you admitting defeat now?" Nate asked slowly. "No, I didn''t say that. Maybe he thought it was fun." Ted said. He wouldn''t admit defeat so easily. "Do you know what her rtionship with Liam is?" "Boss-subordinate," Ted replied. "Ted, you seem not qualified for your current position." "What do you mean?" "Let me ask you, what''s the name of that woman?" "Abigail!" "Don''t you think it sounds familiar?" Nate asked. Hearing what Nate said, Ted frowned. Abigail, Abigail... He seemed to have heard it somewhere. "The name is familiar, as well as her appearance," Ted said. Hearing this, Nate smiled. "Do you think of anything?" Ted asked immediately. "Liam got married three years ago. What''s the name of his wife?" "Her name seems to be Abi..." Saying that Ted paused. "You mean, that woman was Abigail?" "That''s why I said you couldn''t do your job now," Nate said rxedly again. Ted was totally stunned at this moment. "How do you know that?" "Of course, I have reliable news." "Does Liam know that?" Ted asked. "I suppose he had just realized it." Ted didn''t know how to reply. "When did you know?" Nate didn''t answer. "You had already known it before proposing the bet, right?" Ted asked. Chapter 180 Chapter 180 Nate didn''t deny or admit it, but Ted knew that it was true. "Well, you are so crafty." Nate smiled, "You are a boss of an entertainmentpany, but you know less than me. Are you Ted was speechless. "Well, I''ll wait for your photos. See you." "Even if she is Liam''s ex-wife, it doesn''t mean that he will fall in love with her," Ted said word by word. "Let''s wait and see!" "OK!" As soon as Ted hung up the phone, he immediately called his secretary. "Check the identity of Abigail..." Ted said. He had to know everything, at least. *** With Ted''s permission, Abigail was relieved. She believed that they would do what they promised. Abigail was relieved to think of it. After Liam arrived at thepany, he went to the office. Abigail also went back to work. Before she got to her seat, she was surrounded by the gossipy employees of the Design Department. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. "Abigail, what is going on?" "Abigail, you are so lucky." "Miss Swift, you hid so much. It happened a long time ago." As soon as Abigail arrived at the Design Department, they caught her and pinned her to her seat. They had waited for her for a long time, wondering what the hell happened. Upon seeing her now, they hurriedly asked her. Abigail silently smiled at them. Finally, they all stopped talking and looked at Abigail, "Say something." Abigail smiled, "You keep talking. How can I speak?" "Okay, we won''t talk. Tell us the truth." Jane said. Hearing this, Abigail looked at them, "What do you want to know?" "Miss Swift, the news about you is being posted on the front page of magazines. Don''t you have anything to tell us?" "Do you believe the gossip magazines?" Abigail blinked and said. She looked serious. They thought that the news was just fake. "Girl, even if the news is fake, it''s true that they invited you to dance, right? How do you exin it?" A colleague asked. She held the magazine and pointed at it. Abigail looked at the magazine. It... was hard to exin. "Abigail, do you know this returnee?" At this moment, another colleague asked, "He''s so handsome that he is no worse than Mr. Jones." Looking at her, Abigail paused and then nodded, "Well, he''s my... mentor." "Mentor?" They were stunned. Abigail smiled and nodded, "Yes, he is the mentor who taught me design in London." As she spoke, Abigail smiled innocently to show that it was just so simple. "You never mentioned it before," Jane said. "I didn''t know he hade back until I went to Alexia''s party with Mr. Jones." "So, they invited you to dance with them?" Abigail nodded, "Yes, he didn''t know that I went with Mr. Jones, so he invited me to dance. And we were photoed by reporters." Abigail said guiltily. Chapter 181 Chapter 181 Abigail had no idea why she was feeling guilty. "I see," Jane said, and Abigail nodded repeatedly. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Seeing their suspicious looks, Abigail quickly added, "I suggest that you shouldn''t spend your time reading those gossip magazines. Most of them are fake." Hearing Abigail''s words, they nodded. "But Abigail, why do I feel that something is going on between you and Mr. Jones?" A colleague asked. Abigail was stunned. "You seem to spend much time together. Could it be that Mr. Jones has a crush on you?" "Are you trying to get me into trouble? If Olive hears this, I''ll probably be fired." Abigail said. Her colleagues were amused by her words and her expression. If Olive were out of the picture, they would be more sure that Liam had a crush on Abigail. However, since that was not the case, they didn''t pursue it. "You are right." "All right, let''s get back to work. No more gossip, guys!" Abigail said. ''They seemed to believe me. This is finally over!'' thought Abigail, breathing a sigh of relief. But she couldn''t be more wrong. This was just a start. The Swifts and the Millers also saw the news. Everyone in the Swifts was stunned. They called Abigail and believed Abigail''s exnation. However, Jacob knew that it was not as simple as Abigail said. Jacob frowned when thinking of the scene in the magazine. When Olive saw the news, she trembled all over. She had no idea about this. She knew that Liam had been to the farewell party, but she hadn''t expected that he would bring Abigail with him, let alone this scene. Her father also saw this. He looked at Olive and asked, "What is this?" Olive froze and said, "Maybe the paparazzi made this up." "I am so disappointed with Liam. He always gets involved with other women." He growled. Then he looked up at Olive and said, "You should try hard. Everything will be easy after you marry him." Olive frowned and said, "I know." When she turned to the newspaper, anger flickered in her eyes. It seemed that she had to do something. In the afternoon, Abigail received a call from Olive. Olive asked her out for a drink, but Abigail knew what she was up to. But she decided to go, or else Olive would think she was hiding something. The important thing was that the ce was not far away from herpany, and she would be considered impolite if she didn''t go. Therefore, Abigail went there on time. By the time she arrived, Olive was sitting by the window, looking elegant and noble. Abigail walked over and sat across from her. Just then, the waiter brought two cups of coffee and left. Chapter 182 Chapter 182 Olive stared at the coffee cup and then looked up, "Miss Miller, what can I do for you?" How could Olive be that patient not to argue with her? "I think you must know why I''m here." Olive looked at Abigail and said. Abigail smiled. "Just be direct. I have to work." Olive nced at her lukewarm face. "Tell me how much you need to break up with Liam?" Abigail stirred the coffee casually, but she suddenly paused when she heard this. She looked at her, "What do you mean?" "You hook up with Liam for nothing but money, right? Then let''s make a deal. You leave him, and I''ll pay you." Olive said with her teeth clenched. Abigail sneered. "Do you think money can handle everything?" "What do you mean?" "Not to mention whether I like Liam or not. If I like him, do you think your money could make me leave him? If not, then do you think your money could be more valuable than his social status?" Abigail looked at her and asked. Olive was irritated. "You mean you won''t leave?" "I mean, Miss Miller, money is not everything, at least to me!" "And then?" "I''ve told you so many times that I''m not interested in Liam, and you don''t have to talk to me like that." Abigail red at her and said. Olive sneered. "How can I believe you? You told me that you''re not interested in him and that you went everywhere with him and even won''t leave?"

Have you ever seen me stay with him in his private time?" Abigail asked. "I''m afraid you''ll get close to him through work." Olive sneered. Abigail also smiled. "Miss Miller, I don''t think you''re here to have a talk. You''ve already defined me as a money worshiper in your mind." "Abigail, Leo is also as good as Liam. Why do you insist on pursuing him?" Olive looked at Abigail and asked. Abigail went into silence. "I can tell that Leo likes you very much. Why don''t you let Liam go?" Olive asked, afraid that Liam would abandon her. Abigail frowned at Olive''s words. She meant that she didn''t want to leave Liam. "Miss Miller, I told you again and again that I have nothing to do with Mr. Jones, and I am not trying to pester him. If you are anxious, please go to Liam, not me. I don''t want to have any contact with him other than work anyway." "Then quit," Olive said. "You want me to quit?" Abigailughed. "It seems that there is something you don''t know. I did want to quit when I joined thepany, but I didn''t seed. Now I have an agreement with Mr. Jones, which makes it more impossible." Chapter 183 Chapter 183 "Agreement?" Hearing this, Olive frowned. "What agreement?" "Well, just ask Liam." With that, Abigail got up and looked at her. "Miss Miller, if there''s nothing else, I''ll go back first. I still have work to do." "Abigail, tell me," Olive said. Speaking of this, Abigail turned around and looked at Olive. "Miss Miller, there''s a tip for you. If a man loves you, there won''t be other women around him. If a man doesn''t love you, no matter what you do, countless women will appear around him." After saying this, Abigail smiled and left. Olive sat there and listened to Abigail''s words with a sullen look. ''What Abigail meant is that Liam didn''t love me?'' ''Is that so?'' ''Abigail!'' If it weren''t for Abigail, there would be no gap in the rtionship between her and Liam. It was Abigail''s appearance that changed everything. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.

She then got up and dialed a number. "Hello, is that Frank?" "It''s me, Olive. I want to talk to you about something. Are you avable..." "Okay, I''ll be there on time." After that, Olive hung up the phone, got in the car, and drove away. After negotiating with Olive, Abigail felt much better. In fact, she was hoping that Olive would talk to her so that she could speak clearly. Thinking of this, she was in a good mood. She worked happily. In the afternoon, Abigail got off work normally and went back to cook and have dinner as usual. Abigail was just about to go to bed at nine in the evening when her cell phone rang. Exactly, it was Liam''s call AGAIN. Abigail hesitated and didn''t want to answer it, but when she remembered Liam''s warning, she finally answered the phone. "Hello..." "Where are you?" "At home." "Come and pick me up," Liam said. "What?" "Pick me up at the Miss Bar," Liam said again. Of course, Abigail knew where it was. It was the most luxurious bar in City A. "It''ste. I''m going to bed." Abigail said, not willing to pick him up. "Abigail!" "What?" "I''ll wait for you here. If you don''te, I''ll go to your ce." Without waiting for her to speak, Liam hung up. Abigail frowned and looked at the phone, a little stunned. Remembering what she had said to Olive during the day, she pondered and made a decision. She sent Olive a text message. After sending it out, she was in a much better mood andy in bed, ready to sleep... Chapter 184 Chapter 184 At this moment, her phone rang again. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.

"Do you want toe out for a drink?" Leo asked on the phone. "Oh..." "I don''t know anyone here, except you, so I can''t find anyone else," Leo said. Abigail was momentarily distracted. She remembered that when she went to London alone, she didn''t know anyone. And then she met Leo, who helped her deal with everything. That was a sweet memory for her. "Okay, where are you?" "Are youing?" "Of course, I want to repay you." "Come down, I''ll pick you up!" "Okay." After that, Abigail hung up and quickly got up to get dressed. She didn''t wear make-up. Even so, she still looked so beautiful and attractive. After getting dressed, she went straight downstairs. And Leo was waiting for her there. Abigail smiled and got into the car. "There you are." "Yeah, here I am." "Why do you want to drink tonight?" Abigail looked at him and asked. "Don''t you think today is a good night?" Leo asked. Speaking of this, Abigail looked out of the car window and said, "It''s the same here every day, not just today." "It''s just an excuse. In fact, I just want toe out for a drink with you." Leo said. Hearing this, Abigail was surprised and then said, "You needn''t find any excuses. I wille out with you anyway." "Really?" Abigail raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Of course." Looking at Abigail, Leo smiled and then drove away. Abigail was not the kind of person who liked to ask why or where to go, but after arriving, Abigail was dumbfounded. It was the Miss Bar. ''Isn''t it the ce where Liam asked me to pick him up?'' ''What a coincidence!'' "I heard it is a good ce, so I came here to have a look," Leo said. Abigail looked at the door and forced a smile. She should have thought that rich people like Leo would definitely choose the best ce. It was exactly the same as Liam! "What''s the matter? You don''t like it?" Leo asked when he saw Abigail''s expression. Abigail smiled, "I want to have a look too." "Then let''s go," Leo said. Abigail didn''t think so much anymore. She got out of the car and followed Leo into the bar. It was really a good ce, and it was different from ordinary bars that were messy. It looked very luxurious. After Abigail and Leo went in, they sat at the bar, drinking and chatting. It seemed that they felt very When Liam toddled out of the room under the influence of alcohol, he immediately saw Abigail, who was sitting at the bar with Leo. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, and he walked up directly without any consideration. "Abigail!" Hearing the deep voice, Abigail felt astonished and then turned around. Liam was standing behind her. After drinking, he was tipsy. And he looked angrily at her as if he was going to swallow her. Chapter 185 Chapter 185 Abigail was stunned for a moment. The next second, Liam walked up and pulled her out. "Liam..." Abigail was surprised and called his name. Liam took her away, ignoring her words. The next second, Leo reached out and grabbed Abigail''s other hand. Thus, a dramatic scene urred. Both of them held Abigail''s hands. Abigail really felt that this world should have a clone Abigail. In that way, she shouldn''t have been so embarrassed. Liam frowned and looked at Leo. "Let her go!" "Mr. Jones, what do you mean?" "I tell you to let her go." Liam looked at Leo and said word by word angrily. "You are the one who should let go." Leo also looked at Liam. Abigail stood there, looking at the two. She didn''t enjoy this feeling at all. "Leo, do you know who she is?" At this moment, Liam asked word by word. Leo was stunned and knew that Liam had a deeper meaning. Then he said, "I don''t care who she is. I only know that she is Abigail." "She''s my wife!" Liam said. ''Wife?'' Abigail was stunned and added, "Liam, we''re divorced!" As soon as Abigail finished speaking, Liam immediately stared at her. N?velDrama.Org content. Abigail didn''t know why Liam said this to Leo, so she frowned. At this moment, Leo stood there, first looking at Abigail, then at Liam, and then smiled. "So what? As Abigail said, you are divorced." Divorced... This word constantly enraged Liam. "So what? She''s still my ex-wife, my woman." At this moment, Liam was about to lose his mind. As soon as he finished speaking, Olive walked in from the door and heard Liam''s every word clearly. ''Ex-wife?'' ''Abigail is Liam''s ex-wife?'' She stood there, not knowing what to do and staring straight at them. Hearing this, Leo raised a smile. "Mr. Jones, do you understand the word ''divorced''? She is your ex- wife. You''re divorced, and now you''re both free and have nothing to do with each other." Hearing Leo''s words, Liam was furious. "Even if we get divorced, she''s still my woman," Liam said word by word. Abigail stood there. Leo looked at Liam and had no intention of letting go. "Let her go!" "Mr. Jones, she doesn''t belong to you anymore." Leo calmly looked at Liam and said. "Shut up." Liam suddenly shouted. Abigail stood between the two of them and frowned. "You two let go of me." At this moment, Leo and Liam both looked at Abigail. "I''m a person, not an object," Abigail said unhappily. Seeing that the two of them were stunned, Abigail shook them off. Abigail rubbed her wrists that hurt. The next second, he grabbed her hand again and dragged her out. Abigail knew it. After all, Liam was never a man who was easy to give in. Chapter 186 Chapter 186 At this time, Olive stood not far from them, watching Liam pull Abigail out, frowning, "Liam..." When he saw Olive, Liam was stunned, but he didn''t stop. He pulled Abigail out. "Liam..." Olive shouted again, but Liam didn''t even look back. Abigail felt that she had miscalcted today. She wanted Olive to pick up Liam, but she didn''t expect all four of them were here together. Looking at Olive''s expression, Abigail felt a little sad for her. ''Well, I must be too kind.'' ''No matter how many times Olive went against me, I still feel a little sorry for her.'' Leo followed them out, but when he went out, Abigail had been stuffed into the car by Liam and left. Leo stood at the door, looking at the car and frowning... "Liam, that''s enough," Abigail said. But no matter what she said, Liam remained silent and kept driving. Abigail could only see Liam''s side face, a little red, and the inside was permeated with alcohol. Abigail then remembered that Liam had drunk. Abigail looked ahead as the car sped along the road. She was suddenly worried. After all, Liam was not sober now. After thinking about it, Abigail said, "Shall I drive?" Liam still didn''t say anything. Abigail watched, her heart pounding. Liam was too much of a challenge for her. Finally, Liam suddenly mmed on the brake and pulled over the car in a strange ce. He stepped on the brake, and Abigail felt her heart rx. At this moment, Liam sat there with a solemn look. She could tell that he was very angry. "Why is Olive there?" Liam suddenly asked. "I... I texted her to get there." After some hesitation, Abigail spoke. Liam was speechless. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "So, I asked you to pick me up, and you asked Olive toe over so that you can date Leo?"

Liam asked. Looking at his aggressive gaze, Abigail paused for a moment and thought about it. "Nothing. I don''t think I need to exin anything more." "Abigail!" Liam suddenly shouted. She always had the ability to drive him crazy. Abigail frowned. "Mr. Jones, I''m not your assistant, and I''m not your driver. Is it wrong for me to ask Olive to pick you up under that circumstance?" "Yes." "How?" "I asked you to pick me up. Why did you text her?" Abigail didn''t know what to say. It was difficult to tell Liam right or wrong at this time. "You''re drunk. I don''t want to say anything. I want to go back." With that, Abigail pushed open the door and wanted to get out. And at that moment, Liam suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed against her... Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Abigail was shocked and looked at the person in front of her. Especially when she saw herself reflected in his dark eyes, she didn''t know what to say. "Who allowed you to leave?" At this moment, Liam''s fascinating voice resounded around her, mixed with the smell of alcohol. "You... are drunk. Let''s talk about it another day." Abigail said. Liam was more charming and... dangerous than usual when drunk. Just as Abigail was about to move, Liam tightened his grip. "You..." "Abigail, how should I deal with you?" Liam looked at Abigail and said, and he sounded helpless. Abigail frowned and did not understand what he meant, but at this moment, his approach made Abigail''s heart flutter. "Liam, you''re drunk." "Drunk?" Hearing this, Liam suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Then can I do something since I''m drunk?" Hearing this, Abigail''s face turned red. "Liam!" Looking at Abigail''s nervous and red face, Liam suddenly smiled. The gloom in his heart disappeared. He liked to see her nervous. Usually, she was like a little hedgehog, attacking people all the time. But now she was cute. Abigail was also surprised when Liam smiled. She had known him for so long, and it was the first time she saw such a smile on his face. She had to admit... He was so f*cking handsome... Especially on this night, under the dim light, he was so close that she could clearly see his perfect face. His smile was mysterious and charming. At that moment, a thought crossed Abigail''s mind, and for the first time, the thought that this man was actually not as bad as she had imagined. At least... now. Liam also looked at Abigail, his eyes narrowed slightly, neither of them spoke... At this moment, Liam looked at Abigail and inched closer to her. Abigail seemed to sense Liam''s intentions and then turned away. Liam frowned at her actions and said, "Abigail, do you hate me?" Liam suddenly asked, sounding a little bit helpless. N?velDrama.Org content. Abigail suddenly froze for a moment. She didn''t expect someone like Liam, who was so mighty and untouchable, to ask such a question. After some thought, Abigail said, "No!" "If you don''t hate me, why do you smile so sincerely at others, but always with defensiveness towards me?" Liam asked, which made him ufortable. Hearing Liam''s words, Abigail was stunned and then said, "No, you''re thinking too much." "Really?" Liam asked. Abigail nodded without confidence. She did guard against him. Before it was because she was afraid Liam would find out her actual identity, now it was because ...he was too dangerous. But she didn''t dare to tell the truth. After all, Liam was like a pervert now. Chapter 188 Chapter 188 Liam fixed his eyes on her face and body. "In that case, don''t hide from me in the future." Liam looked at her and said. "If you don''t make a sudden attack, I won''t hide from you," Abigail said. Hearing this, Liam frowned. "A sudden attack?" N?velDrama.Org content. Abigail raised her eyebrows and nodded. Only then did Liam understand what she meant. "If you don''t provoke me, I won''t make a sudden attack." Abigail refuted, "You''re the one who thinks I''m provoking you. My action is normal, okay?" "Really?" Liam raised his eyebrows when he heard that. "Then why do you set a different ringtone for me? Is that normal?" Abigail said nothing. "Was it normal that you married me with ugly make-up three years ago?" Liam asked. Still, Abigail didn''t say anything. "Tell me, are they?" Liam asked again. "Don''t mind. Those are exceptions." Abigail said with a smile. Looking at Abigail''s smile, Liam had the urge to lean over and kiss her. However, he gave up so as to keep his previous promise. "If something like that happens again, don''t me me for being rude." Liam threatened her. Abigail smiled and looked at him without saying anything. Liam was still pressing on her body, looking at her with a deep gaze. Since Abigail was pressed under him, she could see clearly Liam''s face. At that moment, their eyes met. Abigail looked at Liam and felt her heart almost jump out. ''Could he stop looking at me like that?'' "Well, can you let go of me now?" Abigail asked, stopping the eye contact. "I don''t want to." ''I knew it!'' Sometimes when Liam acted like a scoundrel, she didn''t know how to deal with him at all. Looking at Abigail''s helpless look, Liam smiled and got up. Seeing him move, Abigail also moved. It was a little ufortable to be pressed down. Unexpectedly, Liam suddenly stopped halfway up. While Abigail suddenly touched Liam''s lips with her forehead. Abigail was stunned, and when she realized what had happened, she leaned back. She looked at Liam and blushed. Liam raised a big and annoying smile. He didn''t do it on purpose. Abigail didn''t know what to say. After all, she got closer to him on her initiative. She turned her head and looked out the window, only to find that Liam had driven to the beach. "It''s hot. I''m going down for a walk." With that, Abigail pushed open the door and went down. Watching Abigail get out of the car, Liam followed her out. Abigail rarely came out at night, especially going to beaches. When she reached the beach, the wind blew. She took a deep breath and felt veryfortable. All of a sudden, she felt that everything had vanished with the wind. "It''s sofy." Abigail spread out her arms, looked up, and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment. Looking at Abigail''s back, Liam felt that something grew up in his heart. He walked slowly over to Abigail and said, "Do you want to run away after taking advantage of me, huh?" Abigail didn''t speak. She opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Liam. She didn''t feel embarrassed anymore. Chapter 189 Chapter 189 Abigail smiled. "Mr. Jones, I''m terribly sorry. I took advantage of you by ident. Please ept my apology." Liam shook his head. "No, I don''t." "Then there is nothing I can do." "No, there is one thing." "What?" "Let me do it back," Liam said. Hearing his words, Abigail suddenly smiled, ignored him, and continued to walk forward. "How is it? Feeling good?" Liam asked. "Yes, absolutely!" Abigail nodded. Listening to Abigail, Liam turned to look at her. "Abigail..." "What''s up?" "Let''s remarry." Hearing this, Abigail froze and turned to look at Liam. "Mr. Jones, are you drunk, or do you have a fever?" When he heard Abigail''s words, Liam''s face twitched. "I''m not drunk, or I don''t have a fever!" "Then you must be dizzy." Liam found that every time he talked to Abigail, he had the urge to go crazy in less than two sentences. "I''m serious!" Liam said. Abigail was stunned by what he said and looked at him. "Why?" "What?" "Why do you want to remarry?" Abigail asked. This sentence suddenly stunned Liam. "No reason." Hearing this, Abigail actually felt a little ridiculous. "You want to remarry me with no reason?" "Can''t I?" "Of course not!" Abigail nodded and looked at him. "Mr. Jones, don''t forget, you have a girlfriend now." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Don''t you think it''s ridiculous to tell me about remarriage now?" Abigail said, never expecting Liam to say this all of a sudden. "Ridiculous?" Liam asked, staring into her eyes. Abigail nodded. "Exactly." "Although I was once married to you, we have been divorced. Now that Olive is your girlfriend, and I don''t want to be a mistress." Abigail looked at him and said word by word. After hearing Abigail''s words, Liam frowned. "Just because of this?" "And..." Abigail looked at him. "I married you before because I didn''t have a choice, but now that I have the right to choose, I definitely won''t y around with marriage." "No one''s ying around with marriage." "Do you love me?" Abigail asked suddenly. Liam was stunned. ''Love?'' Looking at Liam''s reaction, Abigail suddenly smiled. "Mr. Jones, I''m afraid until now, you don''t know what love is, because you only love yourself." "Including Olive... Even if she''s your girlfriend, you only love yourself." Abigail looked at Liam and said firmly. Hearing Abigail''s words, Liam frowned and looked at Abigail as if he was looking at something wonderful. "From your tone, it seems that you know love very well." "Love is a wonderful thing, and no one can outguess it. Although there are very few people in this society who can meet true love, I believe there are. Mr. Jones, marriage is not the tomb of love, but another door of love. So don''t talk about marriage casually." Abigail looked at Liam and said with absolute certainty. Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Listening to Abigail, Liam frowned and looked at her as if he was looking at someone else. He was filled with curiosity and anticipation. Seeing Liam being silent for a long time, Abigail turned around and said, "It''ste. It''s time to go back. Let''s go." Then she walked back. "Abigail, you mean that if I want to marry you, I must fall in love with you first?" Liam asked. Abigail turned around and gently lowered her eyes. "This is the most basic standard." Liam smiled and immediately went up to grab her. "Since you know so much, why don''t you teach me how to love you?" Looking at Liam''s look and her own figure in his dark eyes, Abigail was stunned, not knowing whether he was serious or not. "Mr. Jones, it''s not enough for you just to love me. You gotta let me fall in love with you too." "I believe you will," Liam said. He was very confident in his charm. "Mr. Jones, don''t be so narcissistic," Abigail said with a smile. "If not, I will keep you by my side even if I have to tie you up," Liam said in a slightly overbearing tone. Abigail was speechless. She believed that Liam could do such a thing. "You can keep me by your side, but you can''t keep my heart, Mr. Jones. If you''re so confident, then let''s see whether I will fall in love with you!" Abigail looked at him and said with a slight smile. When Liam was not aggressive, she felt very rxed. "Okay." Liam agreed. Abigail smiled and broke away from his arms. "It''ste." Watching her leave, Liam smiled and followed her. Abigail''s cell phone had been left in the car. Abigail took a look at it and saw several missed calls. Noticing Liam get in the car, for some reason, she put her phone away to avoid more trouble. Liam returned to the car and looked at Abigail. "What''s wrong?" "Nothing," Abigail replied casually. Liam nced at her without saying anything. He started the car and left. On the road, the two of them did not speak, time slipped by, and Liam did not drive that fast anymore. Abigail looked out the window, then at him. She hesitated and said, "Mr. Jones, I have one more thing to tell you." "What is it?" "It''s about our marriage and divorce. I don''t want anyone else to know it, so in the future..." "You don''t want Leo to know, do you?" Before Abigail could finish her sentence, Liam spoke. Abigail answered, "Yes, but he has known." "Then what are you afraid of?" Liam asked. For so long, all the women he had met wanted to get N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. involved with him, while Abigail was the first one who wanted to get away from him. Chapter 191 Chapter 191 "I just don''t want to set tongues wagging. You are such a big shot that everything rted to you will grab headlines. But I just want to live a peaceful life." Abigail said. "Is that all?" He turned his head and gave her a meaningful look. Abigail nodded with certainty. "Of course." Her look indicated that she didn''t have any other reason. "Okay, if you want me to keep it secret, you''d better not piss me off." Abigail was surprised. "You are so emotional, how do I know whether I''ve pissed you off?" Abigail looked at him and asked in a roundabout way. Liam rolled his eyes and said. "Staying away from other men will work." His answer left her speechless. Liam drove her to her apartment at a very slow speed. When they arrived, Abigail loosened the safety belt and said, "Dive safe, boss." "Aren''t you going to invite me over for tea?" Liam asked, raising his eyebrows. Abigail smiled and said, "I rarely drink tea, so I have no tea at home. You can drink when you are back." "I should give you some tea another day." "I''m good. The tea will go to waste at my home." Abigail said with a smile that made him almost beside himself. "We can have other drinks." He conceded. "I believe that you won''t die of thirst if you don''t drink now. It''s unbing for us to stay together, so please go back." She said. She just didn''t want Liam to enter her house. "Be careful on the way. I''m going up!" After that, she waved her hand and left. Liam suddenly found that he could do nothing about her! But after seeing her go upstairs, he waited for a while before driving away... After getting home, Abigail took out the phone and dialed a number. Soon, it was connected. "Hey, Abigail, how are you? Where are you now?" Leo asked worriedly on the phone. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "I''m at home now. I''m fine." She said. "Liam didn''t do anything to you, did he?" he asked worriedly. "No, everything''s okay." She said. Hearing this, Leo was relieved. "I couldn''t get through you, so I..." "I muted my phone," Abigail said, and it was the first time she had lied to Leo. Hearing this, Leo didn''t think much and said, "I didn''t expect us to meet Liam there today." "You don''t have to feel guilty. I knew he was there, but I didn''t stop you. So It''s not your fault." Abigail said in a t tone. Chapter 192 Chapter 192 Abigail''s words stunned Leo. He was surprised that Abigail knew Liam was there. "Abigail, believe me, it will never happen again," Leo promised her word by word. His certainty and confidence gave Abigail a strange feeling. Instead of agreeing, she asked, "Where are you now? Still outside?" Leo was looking for her as he made the phone call in the car. It was not until she answered that he was a little relieved. "Yes, I''m still outside. I''ll be right back." Leo said. "It''ste. Go back early. I''m tired now. Bye!" "Well, good night," Leo said. "Well, then, good night," Abigail said. "Abigail..." Leo suddenly stopped her. "Yes?" Abigail was just about to hang up when she heard Leo''s calling. "I..." Leo wanted to say something, but he realized that it was not the right time. So he changed his mind, "Nothing. Have a nice dream." "You too." After hanging up the phone, Abigail heaved a sigh of relief, threw her phone aside, and went straight to the shower. ''What a night!'' After the shower, Abigail climbed straight to bed. Now she was really sleepy. As for Leo, he sat in the car, looking at his phone. He couldn''te back to his senses for a long time. Thinking about what happened tonight, he was in a very bad mood. He could tell that Liam had a special feeling for Abigail, but he didn''t expect him to be her ex-husband... At the thought of this, he furrowed his brows in displeasure. But it also inspired him. He took out his phone and called a number. "Mike, send out a piece of news for me, telling that ..." When Abigail woke up, it was exactly seven o''clock. She quickly washed up and had breakfast. Abigail didn''t forget about yesterday''s scandal. She picked up the newspaper as soon as she could. Sure enough, Ted meant what he said. The news was gone, but... But there was another piece of hit news! ''Payne will develop in City A and open its first branch.'' The news stunned her. Leo said he would leave after a while, but now... Abigail went nk a bit and didn''t know what to say. After all, it was Leo''s business, not hers, but she still felt something strange there. Abigail took out her cell phone and called him. The phone was answered after a while. "Hey, Abigail." "Are you busy?" Abigail asked. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Well, a little. What''s wrong?" "I just saw the news!" Abigail exined why she called. Hearing this, Leo was stunned. "This is a temporary decision, so..." Chapter 193 Chapter 193 "Understood. Congrattions." Abigail said with a heartfelt smile. "Aren''t you angry?" "Why should I? You want to develop a branch in City A, which is worth celebrating. I only felt it was all of a sudden." Abigail said calmly. "Well, a bit. How about celebrating it together tonight?" Leo said. "Are you avable tonight?" "Even if I am not, I have to make time. Work could never be done clearly. Besides, I''m d to have you celebrate it with me." Leo said. "Then, can I bring a friend with me?" Abigail asked. "Of course, that''s great. I''d like to meet your friend." Leo said. He grew up abroad. For him, meeting her rtives or friends was nothing but an affirmation. Leo was very happy about it. But Abigail didn''t think so... "Well, see you tonight." "Okay." Abigail hung up the phone, threw the newspaper aside, and began to concentrate on breakfast. After that, she hurried to work. Her colleagues were all talking about the big news. As soon as Abigail went in, they caught her and gossiped, "Abigail, this returnee is so wealthy." They said excitedly, holding the newspaper. Even if Abigail didn''t read the newspaper, she knew what they were talking about. "Ah?" Abigail asked, raising her eyebrows as if she knew nothing. "Don''t you know?" The colleague asked. "I know that he''s from a decent family and runs apany in London. But I have no idea of his family property." Abigail said. "Abigail, you really waste a lot." The colleague couldn''t help butin. "Girl, I don''t know what you mean!" Speaking of this, the colleagueughed. "He also did the jewelry business. Now he is developing his own branch in City A. It seems that ourpany is going to have apetent rival." The colleague said. Hearing this, Abigail was stunned. That was true. The Powerline Group was about to have an international presence. It was thergest jewelrypany in City A. Now Leo suddenly made such a decision, which meant to fight against the Powerline Group... Although it seemed dangerous, Abigail knew that Leo would definitely make it, because he had business ir and skills. Liam and Leo were both exceptional in business. "Ah, I think in the future, there will be fiercepetition in the jewelry industry of City A." A colleague sighed. Upon hearing this, Abigail couldn''t help but chuckle. "Don''t get involved. It''s working time!" Abigail said with a smile. The colleague shrugged and said, "Fine!" Then she hurried to work. In the office, Liam sneered at the newspaper in front of him. Then his phone rang. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Seeing the number, Liam answered. "What''s up?" "Congrattions!" Ted''s voice came through the phone. "Why?" Liam asked. "Someone now wants to share your market in City A. You can''t monopolize anymore." Ted spoke slowly. Liam was crystal clear he meant Leo. Chapter 194 Chapter 194 "Are you sure he''s able to have a finger in the pie?" Liam questioned coldly. "It''s said that he''s quite resourceful. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have gained a foothold in London." Ted replied. "That''s London, but this is City A," Liam asked with a sullen face. Ted said no more. Liam was born with confidence. "Liam, not only does he steal your woman, but he also steals your business. Bad luck has been pursuing youtely. You need to pray, my man." Ted joked. "Are you taking pleasure in my misfortune?" Liam asked. Ted exined, "I''m worried about you." "Really?" "Of course," Ted said with absolute certainty. "You just have to worry about yourself," Liam said. "Looks like you''ve already got a n," Ted said. Hearing that, Liam gave a smile and said no more. "How about having a drink tonight?" "No, I have a dinner party tonight," Liam replied. "Well, let''s do it another day." "Okay." Liam hung up after the brief conversation was done. Looking at the newspaper in front of him, Liam gave a confident smile. At this moment, he picked up his cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Mr. Miller, don''t forget we''re going to have dinner with the mayor tonight. I''ll be there on time!" In the afternoon, when Abigail was taking a break in the tea room, Liam came in. Abigail was slightly stunned to see him. "Are you making coffee yourself now, Mr. Jones?" "My secretary is so busy. I want to ease her burden." Liam said slowly. Abigail wondered, "When have you be so considerate towards your employees, Mr. Jones?" "Another jewelrypany is going to emerge in City A soon, so of course, I have to be considerate to my employees, in case they leave." Liam joked. Now Abigail realized the real meaning behind it. "If there''s a healthypetition, then we employees will benefit from it," Abigail said with a slight smile. Since Liam didn''t want to put his cards on the table, why should she be frank? "It seems that you already knew about it." Liam''s gaze fell upon Abigail as he spoke. Abigail paused for a moment before saying, "Just get to the point, Mr. Jones!" Hearing Abigail''s words, Liam took a step forward without hesitation. "You knew about it already, didn''t you?" "What do you mean?" "That Leo is going to open up a branch here." Staring at her, Liam said word by word. Abigail looked up at Liam, her eyes calm. "Would you believe me if I said I learned this news this morning too?" Liam stared at her for a long time before replying, "I would." For some reason, this woman had lied to him countless times, but he still believed her. Especially now. His confidence in her was beyond words. Abigail was stunned to hear Liam''s answer. Apparently, what he said was nothing like what she had expected. "I did learn the news this morning." Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Is he doing that for you?" Liam asked. "What?" Liam nced at Abigail and narrowed his eyes slightly... Chapter 195 Chapter 195 "Nothing." Abigail didn''t ask more. Liam looked at his watch, then stood up and said to Abigail, "I have something else to do. I gotta go." Abigail stood there and nodded, feeling a little stunned. In fact, it was unnecessary for him to tell her. Looking at Liam''s back as he walked out, Abigail was in a daze for a while and smiled subconsciously... After work in the afternoon, Abigail made an appointment with Tina. They met each other and went to meet Leo together. "Abi, you''ve been living a colorful lifetely." As soon as they met, Tina kept teasing Abigail. "Are you making fun of me?" Abigail asked. "No, I''m telling the truth. Come on, tell me what''s going on." "What?" Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Don''t act dumb." "I am at work every day, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm," Abigail said. Tina said, "Abi,e on. You are really good at acting now." "You know that it is one of my skills," Abigail said. Tina was speechless. She threw Abigail a supercilious look. Looking at Tina, Abigail smiled and told Tina about the recent situation. After hearing this, Tina blinked her eyes and said, "I just haven''t seen you for a few days. Have so many things happened?" "Liam knows your identity?" Tina asked in disbelief. Abigail nodded. "He didn''t do anything to you, did he?" Tina looked at Abigail and asked worriedly. Only then did she realize that Abigail was in danger. "I''m standing in front of you, right? I am fine." Abigail said. It was right, but Tina was still a little incredulous, "Did he just let it go?" "Or what?" "This is definitely not Liam''s style," Tina said firmly. "Tell me the truth. Did you promise Liam anything?" Tina asked. Sure enough, Tina could see through everything of Abigail! Abigail blinked her eyes, "Actually, it''s nothing. But he said that he would make me willing to do anything." "Willing..." Tina repeated, then turned around and looked at Abigail in a daze, "Has Liam fallen in love with you?" Abigail was stunned and shook her head, "Not yet." "He must have fallen in love with you. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have let you go so easily." Tina said, nodding her head as she spoke, "Yes, it must be as I said." Abigail was speechless. "Anyway, the thing that worried me most was over," Abigail said. "So, during that time, was it Liam who released all the news about the Powerline Group''s acquisition of the Swift Group?" Tina asked. "Yes." Abigail nodded. Hearing this, Tina thought for a while and said, "Actually, Liam isn''t as bad as we think." Abigail was speechless. ''Come on, T, you are the one who kept saying that Liam is a bad man.'' "At least, he promised you not to buy the Swift Group," Tina said. Speaking of this, Abigail also nodded. She agreed that Liam was a man of his word on this matter. Chapter 196 Chapter 196 "So what''s going on now? Are Leo and Liam chasing you?" "How could it be possible?" "I have read the newspaper as well. I really know something." Tina said. "Do you believe that kind of gossip magazine?" "I believe that it was not wholly unfounded," Tina said firmly, and ording to what she knew about Abigail, she knew it was definitely not that simple. "Am I still your bestie? Tell me something." Tina asked eagerly, feeling like she was binge-watching. Abigail had no choice but to tell Tina what happened that day. After listening, Tina looked envious. "Abigail, tell me honestly, do you feel like acting in a TV series or a Korean drama? The feeling of two men chasing the same woman." Abigail shook her head. "No." Looking at Abigail''s expression, Tina looked helpless. "Oh, it was a pity for a woman like you who doesn''t watch Korean dramas and knows nothing about romance. You should have enjoyed it." "I was only thinking about how to get out of this mess. Luckily, Alexia was there, or I was afraid I would be split into half." Abigail said. Tina said nothing. As expected, Abigail wasn''t romantic at all. "To be honest, why did you ask me out today?" Tina looked at Abigail and asked. "Maybe you have read the news today. Leo is going to set up a newpany in City A and there is a celebration today, so I brought you out to celebrate together." Abigail exined. Tina was shocked. "So you took me to see Leo?" Abigail nodded. "Yes. You''re not willing to see him?" "Will I disturb you?" Tina asked. "Do you believe I will seal your mouth if you say more about it?" Abigail asked. Tinaughed. "I did it all for your good." "If so, thank you." Tinaughed. "You''re wee." Saying so, they set out by taxi. On the way, Abigail''s phone rang. Seeing it was Leo, Abigail answered. "How is it going? Do I need to pick you up?" "No, we''ll be there soon." "OK, see youter." "OK!" Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. After a brief conversation, she hung up the phone. Tina listened to their conversation beside her and smiled. "It seems that Leo is very considerate." "Yeah, a gentleman growing up abroad," Abigail replied. Tina smiled without replying. They waited for a while after arriving, talking. Then, Leo arrived. "Sorry for beingte, something stopped me." Leo apologized. Abigail smiled. "It''s okay. We just arrived." Leo nodded. At this moment, Abigail briefly introduced, "This is my best friend since childhood. You can call her Tina. Tina, this is Leo!" "Hello." Leo looked at Tina, smiled gently, and extended his hand. Tina sat there. Seeing Leo reach out his hand, she immediately stood up and smiled happily. "Hello, Leo. Thank you for taking care of Abigail in London." "It''s my honor to meet her," Leo said. Hearing that, Tina smiled. "All right, please sit down," Abigail said. Chapter 197 Chapter 197 "Have you ordered yet?" Abigail shook her head. "Not yet. I''m waiting for you." Leo nodded and called the waiter. "Mr..." Leo turned to look at her and stopped her. "Hush. Just call me Leo like what Abigail does." "Will that be all right?" Tina asked. "Abigail''s friend is my friend. It''s all right. Besides, the name was made to be called by others." Leo looked at Tina and said. It sounded very pleasant to Tina. Looking at Leo, Tina somehow felt better about him. "All right then, thank you." Tina smiled. The dishes came and the three began to enjoy them. "By the way, I heard you''re going to stay in City A to continue your career?" Tina looked at Leo and asked. Leo nodded and recalled something, "When thepany is put into operation, there will be a reception. You shoulde with Abigail." Hearing this, Tina was stunned. "May Ie?" "Of course." Leo nodded. "You''ll get an invitation." "Well then, thank you," Tina said with a smile. Tina had a much better impression of Leo than of Liam. Liam really made a terrible impression on Tina. While the three of them were eating andughing, Leo''s cell phone rang. He picked up the phone upon seeing the number. "Hello..." However, when he heard what was said on the phone, he frowned. "What did you say? Howe?" Leo asked. Abigail and Tina spected from his tone that he was in trouble. Leo frowned. After a while, he nodded. "I got it. I''ll be right there." "Okay." He hung up. Standing nearby, Abigail looked at him. Before he could say anything, Abigail said, "Is there something wrong?" N?velDrama.Org content. "Nothing serious. I gotta leave now." Leo said. Abigail nodded. "OK. Go ahead!" "I''ll treat you to dinner another day to make up for this." "It doesn''t matter. Abigail and I will go back after eating." Tina also said. Although Leo said nothing, Abigail could tell from her intuition that it must have something to do with his But since Leo said nothing, Abigail wouldn''t say much. "He should be fine?" Tina asked as she ate. Abigail shook her head. "I don''t know. He''ll take care of it." Tina nodded and continued eating. At the same time, Liam was sitting at a table with the mayor. He said with a smile, "Mayor Lee, if you need my help, just say it." Hearing Liam''s words, the mayor, who had drunk a lot, said. "It''s known to all that you''re a business tycoon." Liam smiled. "Thank you for your appreciation, but no matter what, thank you for your help today. If anything happens to you in the future, just tell me." "Sure. Cheers." Mayor Lee said. Liam picked up his ss and took a few sips. Chapter 198 Chapter 198 The dinnersted for three hours. It was after Mayor Lee left that Liam drove away. Although he had drunk a lot, Liam felt quite sober. Most importantly, he had achieved his goal. When Leo rushed back to hispany, his assistant Mike rushed to him. "What the hell happened?" "We had a deal with the mayor, and we are about to sign the contract, but we were just informed that it was against the rules and might take a while," Mike said. Leo frowned. "But everyone knows thepany is opening soon. If we dy it, we will lose a lot of money." Mike said. Leo naturally knew this. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. He thought for a moment and said, "They changed their mind at the eleventh hour. There must be some misunderstandings." "I found out that the president of the Powerline Group and the president of the Miller Group had dinner with the mayor today," Mike said. It dawned on Leo that what had happened. It was Liam! Leo sneered. ''Do you really think you can stop me, Liam?'' Looking back at Mike, he said, "Arrange a dinner with Mayor Lee tomorrow." Mike nodded and said, "Okay." Leo put on a faint smile on his face. *** The next day, Mike went to Leo''s office. "President, Mayor Lee said that he is too busy with meetings to have dinner with you," Mike said. Leo couldn''t be more sure that Mayor Lee was doing this on purpose. "Keeping calling him. I have to see him today, even if waiting for ten minutes." Leo dered. Mike nodded and went out. In the next two days, Mayor Lee rejected Leo''s invitation with different excuses. Leo was furious. It could be seen that Liam had tried his best to plot against him. Now that the opening day was getting closer, even Mike got a little anxious. "Have you considered asking your father for help?" Mike asked. Leo looked up at Mike and said sternly, "No!" "I don''t want others to think I''m just a rich second generation that always relies on his father." As he spoke, he looked up at Mike. "Check Mayor Lee''s schedule for today." Mike didn''t know what Leo was thinking, but he had to do as he said. "Okay!" Mike said. Then Mike went out. Ten minutester, he came in again. "Mr. Harris, I got it." "Where is he now?" "I just got the news that he is at a golf course now. He seems to have a talk with someone." Mike said. Leo narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Go to the golf course." "Yes." Mike didn''t ask much since he knew Leo always had his own way of handling things. He just had to follow his orders. So they went to the golf course. Golf courses used to be ced for people to rx and have fun, but now, they were used for business and political negotiations. In the name of ying golf, people had different kinds of talks here. At this moment, Mayor Lee was talking to someone. Leo walked over. He was dressed casually today, looking very young and rxed. "Mayor Lee, so nice to see you here. You look so rxed." Leo said. Chapter 199 Chapter 199 Mayor Lee was a little stunned when he saw Leo. He knew a little about his identity. But he had agreed to Liam''s request first, so he had no choice but to avoid Leo now. He had never expected to meet him here. He knew that it was not an asion. Leo came here for him. Mayor Lee smiled. "Yes, what a coincidence. I didn''t expect to meet you here." Both of them walked up and shook hands. "I can''t even make an appointment with Mayor Lee. Leo said with a smile. "I''ve been very busy these days. Otherwise, I would absolutely ept your invitation." Mayor Lee also smiled. At this time, he must pretend to beposed. "Really?" Leo looked at Mayor Lee. "What about today?" "I''m sorry, but I have asked President Williams to y golf." "May I join you?" Leo asked gently. But Mayor Lee knew exactly what Leo was up to. "Well..." Mayor Lee looked at President Williams Leo also knew what Mayor Lee meant, so he immediately looked at President Williams and said with a Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. smile, "I believe that he won''t mind, right?" His appearance already surged up a wide-range discussion in City A. His ultra-wealthy family business and noble family background were so iparable that although President Williams was Leo''s predecessor, he did not dare to say anything. "Of course not." He said with a ttering smile. What else could Mayor Lee say if President Williams agreed? "Then let''s y together." Leo smiled and went to pick up a golf club. "I like golf very much actually." He made his pose and looked at the distance. "Actually, golf is simr to business. It''s dangerous, but as long as you n your strategy and implement it well, you''ll make a lot of money." He hit the ball as he talked. It was urate, by the way. Mayor Lee was stunned when he saw Leo''s ball fly out. It was a nice shot, but what he said was the point. President Williams didn''t know what was going on, but smiled and praised, "The younger is always better than us. I didn''t expect Mr. Harris to y so well at such a young age." "I''m fond of ying golf very much, so I y every week whenever I''m avable. More importantly, I can do everything if I want." Mayor Lee''s expression changed. At this moment, Mayor Lee thought for a short while and looked back at President Williams. "Let''s talk about it another day, and I''ll call you then. What do you think?" President Williams nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I just remembered that I still have some work. Then call me another day." "Okay." "President Williams,e out for a meal some other day." Leo looked at him and said. "Okay!" He answered and left, leaving Leo, Mayor Lee, and Mike behind. Chapter 200 Chapter 200 "So, shoot it!" Mayor Lee did not beat about the bush but cut to the chase. Leo has been waiting for the meeting for so long. Now that Mayor Lee was being direct, Leo did not necessarily talk in a roundabout way. He put the golf Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. club aside and sat beside Mayor Lee. "I think you already knew well my intention, Mayor Lee." Mayor Lee took a sip of tea. "If I knew, I wouldn''t bother asking." Leo knew he was lying. In this case, Leo chose to say it one more time. "We''ve reached an agreement that the document would be approved soon, but I got a call which said some problems propped up and there might be a dy. Mayor Lee, I am a bit confused." Hearing Leo''s words, Mayor Lee raised his eyebrow. "If that''s the case, the document should take the me." "Really?" Leo raised his eyebrows. "Mayor Lee, we met before and it was you who said there was no problem." Leo looked at Mayor Lee and said word by word. Mayor Lee frowned. Although Leo standing in front of him looked very gentlemanly, he could feel this man''s imposing manner and a slight threat in his words. He can fairly rival Liam. "I only had a nce at it, so I''m not sure what''s going on." Mayor Lee said indifferently. Hearing this, Leo looked sideways at Mayor Lee and smiled. "Really?" "Mayor Lee, we both know clearly the tricks in it, and you knew exactly why they dyed my documents or refused the approval. Mayor Lee, have you thought about it? Are you sure to do this?" Leo looked at him and asked. Hearing this, Mayor Lee frowned. "What do you mean?" "Mayor Lee, you knew it clearer than anyone about the consequences of collusion between the government and business!" Leo said. Mayor Lee pulled a straight face, looking at Leo, and said angrily. "Leo, you''re nothing but a businessman. How dare you talk to me like this! You should know one of my orders could ruin your "Well, your position can be shaken at my words. You want to try?" Looking at him, Leo spoke slowly. Such a gentle voice carried a threat. Mayor Lee looked at him. He was stunned for a while and then sneered. "Don''t scare me." "No, I didn''t, Mayor Lee. I always want the best for everyone. You refused to approve my documents. I had no choice but to do it in my way." Leo said. Hearing this, Mayor Lee was slightly stunned. He knew nothing about Leo. He thought he was just a returnee entrepreneur. But it turned out that it was not that simple. "Are you threatening me?" "Not really, Mayor Lee. In fact, I am able to give you all that Liam can offer." Leo watched Mayor Lee, speaking slowly. Acting tough and talking softly was the best strategy to deal with Mayor Lee. ''I must get this done. In that way, I will be able topare with Liam. In that way, I could be qualified to speak my love.'' Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Sure enough, when Mayor Lee heard Liam''s name from Leo, he was slightly surprised. "I don''t know what you''re talking about." Mayor Lee pretended to be ignorant of it. Hearing this, Leo smiled, "You do." Mayor Lee was speechless. "Mayor Lee, no matter how much Liam gave to you, I''ll give you double. What do you think?" Leo looked at him and asked. Mayor Lee froze slightly, "Are you bribing me?" Hearing this, Leo smiled and said, "Well, it depends on how you take it." Mayor Lee was in a daze, "Leo, you should know if you do this, you may go to jail." Hearing this, Leo raised his eyebrows, "Really? That depends on what you will do." "I don''t know what you''re talking about." Hearing this, Leo could hear his insistence. After he thought for a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, since you insist, I have nothing to say. You can just think that I have never been here today." After saying that, Leo stood up and was about to leave. "Wait!" He had just taken a few steps when Mayor Lee spoke behind him. Hearing Mayor Lee''s words, Leo was a little surprised. He smiled firmly and turned around. At this moment, Mayor Lee looked at him and said, "I have a condition." Hearing this, Leo nodded and smiled, "Of course, not to mention one condition, even ten conditions, I will also fulfill them for you." As he spoke, Leo walked over and had a good talk with him. The next day. The news said Leo''spany would open normally. When Liam heard the news, he slightly froze, and then someone sent an invitation letter to him. It was an invitation letter for a drinking party to celebrate the opening of Leo''spany. Seeing this, Liam frowned. He could guess what actually happened. But he didn''t expect Leo to achieve his goal so fast. It only took him a few days to convince Mayor Lee. His phone''s ring took him out of muse. When he saw the number, he was surprised and answered it. "Hello..." "Mr. Jones, it''s me." Leo''s voice came through the phone, "I wonder if you''ve received my invitation letter." Holding the phone, Liam looked down at the invitation card in his hand. He really wanted to crumple it and throw it into the trash can, but he couldn''t. He smiled and said, "Of course, the invitation card is well made." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Leo smiled on the phone, "I hope you will arrive on time. Please keep in touch in the future!" Liam listened to him and knew that Leo was showing off with this phone call, but he had to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor. Therefore, Liam said with a smile, "Of course, I will." In fact, both of them knew what they meant. "In that case, then Mr. Jones cane earlier!" "Of course." After a few polite words, he hung up the phone. Liam looked at the invitation letter and really wanted to throw it into the trash can. It was only because of such good manners that he tried his best to hold back his temper. Looking at the invitation letter, Liam seemed to have more fighting spirit. If he didn''t get Leo down, he wouldn''t be Liam. Chapter 202 Chapter 202 As soon as the news was released, everyone saw it. Seeing the news, Abigail just smiled. It was obvious that everything was going well for Leo. Thinking of this, she did not say anything. At this moment, the phone on the desk rang. It was Leo''s call. "Hello?" "Are you avable now?" Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Yes, what''s wrong?" Abigail said coolly. "I need your help," Leo said. Hearing this, Abigail smiled. "What''s up?" "Thepany is opening soon and there will be a celebration party. I would like to invite you to be my partner. You know, I have no acquaintance here..." Leo said. Abigail was in a daze and asked, "Is that all?" "Yes." "I thought you have something serious and urgent." "I was afraid you have some other things to do." "When?" Abigail asked. "In three days." "Okay, no problem!" Abigail agreed. "So, you agreed?" Leo asked. "Of course, you helped me so much when we were in London. Now it''s my turn to help you." Abigail said with a smile. Hearing this, Leo also smiled, "Okay, I''ll pick you up then." "Okay!" Abigail answered. After the call, Abigail continued to concentrate on her work. Liam hadn''t disturbed her for the past two days, so she had a good time at work. Abigail was thest to leave after working hours. When she saw Liaming to the elevator, she quickly reached out to press the down button, avoiding being in the same elevator with him. Liam actually saw her action. Just as the elevator was about to close, he walked up hurriedly and reached out to stop the door which then slowly opened. Abigail stood inside and watched him walk in. She did not expect him to act so quickly. She greeted with a smile, "Mr. Jones." "Why did you press the button the moment you saw me?" Liam looked at her and asked. "I didn''t..." Abigail said guiltily. "Really?" Liam asked with his sharp eyes fixed on Abigail''s hypocritical smile. Abigail did not dare to offend Liam in this space, so she could only smile and say, "I''m in a hurry so I want to go down quickly..." Liam rolled his eyes and decided to let her go. Seeing that Liam did not speak, Abigail smiled and quickly stepped aside. Liam suddenly remembered something and turned to Abigail. "Are you avable on Friday?" ''Friday?'' Abigail thought for a moment. It was when Leo would hold the open ceremony. She shook her head and said. "No!" "You already have an appointment?" "Yes, with a friend," Abigail said. Hearing this, Liam looked at her but said nothing more. He stood still and looked at the elevator door. Abigail briefly a sigh of relief silently. Just then, the elevator door slid open. Chapter 203 Chapter 203 "Mr. Jones, I gotta go." Abigail walked out first. Liam walked out with her. "Let me walk you off." "Thanks, but I have called a cab." Abigail smiled and left quickly. Liam stood there and watched her walk away, frowning. Since Olive found out about Abigail''s ex-wife, she had not shown up. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Only then did she realize how silly she was. Abigail did not say anything, nor did Liam tell her about it. It was so stupid of her to ask Jacob for help. Now thinking about it, she felt so ridiculous. She was sitting in the bar and kept drinking. She wanted to get herself drunk so that she wouldn''t have to think about anything, but no matter how much she drank, she was very sober. At this time, someone came in and sat down at the counter. Olive looked up and nced at the person sitting next to her. Her brows drew together when she saw who this person was. The person sitting next to her was also a little shocked when seeing her. Olive smiled and said. "Mr. Swift, what a coincidence." Jacob sat beside her. He didn''t like Olive because she was too scheming, but now that they met in a bar, he didn''t want to say anything. After ordering the wine, he sat there and drank alone. Seeing that Jacob didn''t talk to her, Olive smiled and sat beside him. "Do you want a drink?" Olive raised her ss. Jacob clinked her ss politely and didn''t say anything. "It seems that you have something to worry about too." Olive smiled at Jacob and said. Jacob nced at her. "You look more worried than I am." Olive''s face turned pale. She gave a bitter smile and said softly, "I didn''t expect Abigail to be your sister, and also, Liam''s ex-wife!" Hearing this, Jacob stopped drinking and nced at Olive. "Can you believe it?" Olive smiled sarcastically. "I tried to have sex with you because you liked Abigail at that time..." Olive sneered and gulped down the wine in her hand. Jacob sat there and didn''t say anything. He regained hisposure and continued drinking. "Well, am I stupid?" Olive looked at Jacob and asked. "None of us can change what has happened." "But they''re divorced. Why are theying back?" Suddenly, Olive said angrily. Until now, she still felt that Abigail was the one who ruined her rtionship with Liam. "Since they are divorced, they had nothing to do with each other," Olive said angrily. She hated Abigail so much. Hearing Olive''s words, Jacob turned his head over and said, "Think about it. If Liam did love you, Abigail isn''t a threat to you at all." Why did she keep ming Abigail? Chapter 204 Chapter 204 Why did she always make trouble for Abigail? Hearing Jacob''s words, Olive turned around and looked at Jacob for a long time, not knowing what to say. "Men are greedy. Abigail has totally changed, so it is natural for Liam to be attracted by her, but it won''t be long before hees back to me." Olive said. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing that, Jacob smiled, "Really? Since you''re so sure, why are you getting yourself drunk here?" "I''m not." "What are you doing then?" Jacob asked. Olive stood there, staring straight at Jacob, at a loss for words. "I''m just not in a good mood." Then Olive turned her head back to drink. Hearing what she said, Liam sneered, "No matter what you came here for, I just want to tell you that they were married just for their families. Abi has no feelings for him, and you don''t have to give her a hard time." "Really? Are you sure?" Olive turned to look at Jacob and said. "Of course." "Jacob, it turns out that I''m not the only one who''s stupid. You know too little about your sister." "What do you mean?" Jacob turned to look at Olive and asked unhappily. "They have been dating for many times. I guess you don''t know that. If Abigail doesn''t have feelings for Liam as you said, why didn''t she leave him?" Olive said. "She did have her reasons, but it''s definitely not what you said!" Jacob said. Olive only responded with a smile full of sarcasm. Jacob was furious. "No matter what you think, Olive, I''m warning you. If you dare to hurt her, I won''t let you go!" Jacob leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear. Olive''s face turned pale with anger. Without looking at her, Jacob left. Sitting there by herself, Olive looked sullen. Drinking the wine, she made up her mind, her eyes narrowed slightly. "Abigail, I will let them know what kind of person you are!" In the next two days, everything went well in Leo''spany, and he was busy preparing for the opening. All of a sudden, he, a returnee, became the focus of everyone''s attention. Liam, on the contrary, kept a low profile. He could get his attention back by doing something to attract the reporters. However, he didn''t want to do it. He just wanted to see how long Leo could be the center of attention. Liam was a capable businessman who had experienced a lot. He knew he should keep a low profile now and let Leo shine so that people wouldn''t talk about him. Finally, the opening day came. On the opening day of Leo''spany, he booked thergest hotel in City A to hold a party. They all thought that Leo was a returnee, but they didn''t know that he knew a lot of people in City A, and he had invited many people of the upper ss. Chapter 205 Chapter 205 On this day, the entrance of the hotel was packed solid by luxurious cars. Everyone was here except Leo. Even Liam appeared, along with Olive, which drew a lot of attention. He was dressed in a ck suit while Olive was in a ckce see-through suit. The good-looking couple entered arm in arm, drawing a lot of attention. It had been a long time since they appeared togetherst time. Liam had been changing girlfriends all the time until he met Olive. Although he once showed up with an employee of thepany, Olive was his only girlfriend. A lot of people watched and discussed in private. Olive took Liam''s arm and smiled, looking quite elegant. In fact, she did not expect Liam to bring her with him, and she was even surprised when she received his call. She was happy that Liam missed her in the end after he had fooled around with other women. Holding his arm, she was full of pride, as if she was announcing that Liam belonged to her. Liam, on the other hand, had no expression and said nothing. At this moment, the door opened and two people came in, attracting the attention of all the audience. It was none other than Abigail and Leo. Leo was also dressed in a ck suit, while Abigail was in a white satin slim gown, open-back with only a thin thread behind, whichpletely disyed her figure.

They really got a lot of attention. Leo smiled and nodded to those who greeted them, while Abigail stood beside him like a perfect partner. However, there was one person looking at them coldly. It was Liam whose look went bad especially when he saw them arm in arm. At this moment, he remembered she said no when he asked in the elevator if she was avable on Friday. However, now she appeared with Leo. Thinking of this, Liam got furious at her. Olive, who stood beside Liam, squinted at Abigail and Leo. She didn''t expect she was just a backup. She thought they had got their rtionships in the right ce. However, it was good for Abigail and Leo to be together. Although she didn''t want Abigail to have a good life, at least Abigail wouldn''te topete for Liam with her now. Then she felt a little at ease. However, Liam red at Abigail coldly with a straight face. When Abigail went in, she felt as if someone was staring at her, so she turned around and discovered Liam''s cold face and re. "Liam..."

When noticing Liam''s action, Olive felt heartbroken. As long as Abigail appeared, Liam would always look at her. Olive felt aggrieved. She wondered what he thought of her. At this moment, after greeting the others, Leo, together with Abigail, gracefully walked to Liam. "Mr. Jones." Leo smiled triumphantly. Seeing them walking over together, Liam stopped staring at Abigail and raised a polite smile. "Mr. Harris, you''re the superstar today. Are you neglecting me?" Liam said directly. Then, Leo smiled. "Please forgive me!" The two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Abigail smilingly held Leo''s arm and did not dare to say any words or look at Liam. She knew that Liam would be angry with her. At this moment, Liam looked at Leo. "Mr. Harris is lucky. You started apany, and you invited one of my employees to be your date. There would be all kinds of rumors again." Then, Liam looked away at Abigail. Liam was questioning her in this way.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Leo understood Liam''s meaning and smilingly said, "I can start thepany sessfully because of you. As for Abi, she''s the person I know best here. Then, I invited her." Liam only heard the sentence "As for Abi, she''s the person I know best here." He thought that Leo was announcing his rtionship with Abigail. Liam looked very unhappy. Liam was jealous and thought he was the one who was closer to Abigail. ''We were a couple before!'' But Liam didn''t say any words. Liam smilingly looked at them and answered. "It''s good for you to know." He was answering Liam''s first sentence. Abigail and Olive stood there and understood Liam''s words instantly. Liam was smart and knew how to talk to people on different asions. At this moment, Abigail thought that Liam was really not modest. Leo smiled. "Mr. Jones, help yourself. I have to go over and greet some guests." Liam raised his eyebrows and looked casual. "Sure." But Liam still inadvertently nced at Abigail. So, Leo and Abigail walked aside. Liam and Olive took a ss of wine from the waiter. When they were drinking there, Liam always stared at Abigail, while Olive kept observing him. Olive didn''t think she should be here. Chapter 207 Chapter 207 ''Why did Liam ask me toe here?'' Olive smiled, "Liam, are you alright?" Liam came back to his senses and looked at her, "What?" "You don''t look well," Olive said. Hearing this, Liam nced at Abigail again and then took a sip of wine, "Really?" He looked distracted. Olive was sad, but she didn''t know what to say. At this point, Leo was greeting others with Abigail and introduced her to them. Liam suddenly had an illusion that this was Leo and Abigail''s engagement party where Leo was taking his fiancee to receive blessings.

A sense of humiliation surged into her heart. She was not wanted at this party. "I''m going to the restroom." Olive suddenly said, walked over, and put the ss beside Liam. Only then did Liam look back at her who hurriedly walked away. However, Liam didn''t say anything to her. Olive walked halfway and turned to look at him, only to find his gaze was still on Abigail... ''That''s pathetic, Olive.'' Tears rolled in her eyes. Looking at him for a while, she clenched her fists and turned to walk away. Abigail didn''t like parties at all, but she had no choice but to participate again and again, with her ex- husband Liam and current chaser Leo. Leo was her mentor and had given her a lot of help. Therefore, when he had returned to develop his own career here and asked her to be hispanion, she knew she had to help him. But she could always feel the sharp and cold gaze behind her as if the man who was looking at her wanted to freeze her. She felt ufortable. After a long while, they could finally take a little break. Leo turned to look at Abigail, "How are you? Are you tired?" "I''m fine." Abigail did not expect that so many powerful people woulde to the party held by Leo, a person who had just returned to start his business. Seeing that Abigail was wearing such high heels, Leo smiled, "If you''re tired, take a rest first. There are still a lot of peopleing. It''s going to take some time." "Are you okay to deal with them alone?" Abigail asked. She was happy to hear that she could rest, but she was afraid that Leo wouldn''t be able to handle it alone. Hearing Abigail''s words, Leo smiled thoughtfully and gently, "Of course!" "I... will have a rest then." After standing in high heels for so long, Abigail was indeed very tired. Most importantly, the gaze always behind her made her very ufortable. Leo nodded, "Then take a rest. I''lle to youter." "Okay!" Abigail nodded and looked at him and said, "Just go ahead." At this moment, someone came. Looking at the person, Leo nodded, "Take a break." "Okay!" Abigail nodded, seeing Leo walk away. Chapter 208 Chapter 208 Seeing him leave, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around subconsciously, but she did not R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only see that figure. She frowned. Was it her illusion? Thinking of this, Abigail took a deep breath and felt much relieved. She took a ss of red wine from the table and moved to one side. Now everyone had gone inside, and they were all using their own opportunities to create their future. It seemed a little quiet around her. Abigail held the ss of red wine and saw that there was no one on the balcony, so she walked over there. The breeze blew on her face, neck, and arms. She felt veryfortable. Abigail stood there, enjoying the peace without being disturbed. It was not easy to find such a quiet ce on this asion. Abigail did not want to be disturbed. Of course, she was secretly happy. On the balcony, she could see outside and she also saw a lot of peopleing one after another. While Abigail was looking at them, a man suddenly appeared in her sight. When she saw him clearly, Abigail was stunned. Because that person was not anyone else but Frank. ''Why would hee here?'' Thinking of the fact that she had teased him for the contract before, Abigail felt a little scared now. In fact, if Liam hadn''t rushed over at that time, she didn''t know what would have happened. Seeing that Frank was dressed in formal clothes and walked inside slowly, Abigail was afraid that he would find her, so she quickly took a step back and stood there looking out. She secretly prayed that he would not find her. She almost forgot about the ident if she hadn''t seen him again today. When Frank walked inside and looked up towards where she was, Abigail panicked and stepped back, subconsciously walking out. But after a few steps, she suddenly bumped into someone. Just as Abigail was about to say sorry, a cold voice sounded above her head, "What are you doing?" Hearing this voice, although it was very cold, Abigail felt inexplicably at ease and looked up. When she saw Liam, she was really relieved. "No, nothing." It was the first time that Abigail felt nervous as she spoke. Liam saw that something was wrong with her, but he didn''t think so much. He thought she was so nervous when she saw him because she wanted to escape from him. "You''re so flustered and want to leave when you see me, huh?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked her word by word. Although his voice was not loud, it was enough to let people hear that his voice carried dissatisfaction. Abigail looked back. She became less nervous when she didn''t see Frank. "No, I didn''t see youing," Abigail exined, suggesting that she didn''t want to leave because of him. Hearing Abigail''s exnation, Liam raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Really?" Abigail nodded absent-mindedly, "Yes." Seeing her like that, Liam angrily shouted, "Abigail!" Hearing this angry voice, Abigail finally came back to her senses. She looked at Liam and frowned, "What''s wrong?" Chapter 209 Chapter 209 ''What''s wrong?'' ''She asked me what''s wrong?'' Liam looked at Abigail, gritting his teeth. He didn''t know if she was pretending or not. "How dare you ask me what''s wrong?" Liam looked at her and said word by word. He wanted to kill her with his dark eyes. Seeing Liam''s fierce expression, Abigail frowned. She felt that she was an expert at angering him. "Mr. Jones, please say it clearly." Abigail looked at him. At this moment, Liam looked straight at her and took a step forward. Abigail subconsciously took a step back. She was afraid of his sudden kiss. "Abigail, is this your appointment?" Liam looked at her and asked word by word. "Huh?" Abigail did not react for a moment. She may also be pretending to be stupid. Liam had expected this so he got closer, chuckling, "You''re very happy to be with Leo?" Abigail thought for a moment and then said, "I''m very tired." "Tired? You could feel tired?" Liam smiled sarcastically. As Liam spoke, he looked at her, her fair skin and delicate corbones. Every part of her body was so attractive that he didn''t want to look away. Abigail was speechless. "Of course!" "Abigail, it seems that you are asking for trouble." Staring at Abigail, Liam began to warn her. Abigail was really speechless. She really believed that she and Liam were not on the same channel. "Mr. Jones, please make it clear. How did I offend you?" Abigail asked calmly. Just as Liam was about to take another step forward, Abigail immediately reacted, subconsciously reaching out her hand to block him, because she had no way out. Lowering his eyes, Liam nced at the hands in front of him. Liam frowned and looked at Abigail, asking, "You don''t know?" "Mr. Jones, please make it clear," Abigail said with a faint smile. "When I invited you, you clearly told me that you didn''t have time. But you came here with Leo, as his partner. Do you think I should be angry or not? Besides, Abigail, do you think it''s appropriate for you, a designer from the Powerline Group to be Leo''s partner?" Liam looked at her and said word by word. In Liam''s words, Abigail had made two mistakes. After hearing what Liam had said, Abigail thought for a moment and then replied, "First, when you invited me, I had already agreed to Leo to be his partner, so I didn''t reject you first and promised Leo N?velDrama.Org content. thought it was okay for me to be his partner. When I was in London, he helped me a lot. I don''t think there''s anything wrong with what I''m doing now.." Abigail looked at Liam and said what she thought about firmly. When Liam heard Abigail say that Leo didn''t know any woman here, Liam curved his lips contemptuously. "You believe him?" Liam looked at Abigail and asked. Abigail nodded. "Of course." "Abigail, are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really a fool?" Abigail didn''t know what to say. Chapter 210 Chapter 210 Liam''s angry look made Abigail frown and wanted to refute. But at this time, a figure walked over from outside. Abigail subconsciously grabbed Liam and hid in his arms when she saw the one passing by. Liam was confused and frowned at the girl in his arms. "What are you doing?" Liam asked her with knitted brows. Standing in front of Liam, Abigail was relieved when she saw the man outside walk past. Then she looked up at Liam, "Nothing!" As she spoke, she loosened her grip on Liam''s clothes. Looking at her actions, Liamzily raised his eyebrows and looked at her. At this moment, Abigail met his eyes and said, "Mr. Jones, I''m leaving now if you have nothing else to say." As she spoke, she was about to leave. But before she could lift her feet, Liam stopped her. Abigail was confused and then looked up at Liam, "Mr. Jones, what do you mean?" Liam looked at her, the corners of his mouth curved, and his eyes were charming, "What do you think?" Abigail kept silent. She found it hard to reason with Liam. "Mr. Jones, if you have anything to say, just tell me at once," Abigail said. Only then did she pay all her attention to Liam. Liam narrowed his eyes and looked at Abigail, "What? Are you feel so free to throw yourself into my arms or go away?" "I threw myself into your arms?" Abigail was confused. Hearing these words, Abigail was slightly confused and remembered what she had done just now. ''Does Liam think that I was flirting with him? OMG, such a narcissist.'' Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Thinking of this, Abigail forced a smile, "Mr. Jones, you misunderstood." "Oh? Really?" Liam raised his eyebrows. "Yes!" Abigail nodded affirmatively. She thought Liam would never give up without an exnation, so she added, "I saw an acquaintance just now, so I wanted to hide." Liam was not surprised to hear this. He just raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is that so?" "Yes." Abigail nodded again sincerely. It was better to tell Liam the truth. However, Liam did not want to let her go. Instead, he looked at her with a burning gaze, which made Abigail a little nervous. "Mr. Jones, can I go now?" Abigail looked at him and asked, not forgetting to put on an ingratiating smile. Seeing that Liam didn''t answer, Abigail thought he acquiesced and was about to leave when Liam stopped her again. "Mr. Jones, what do you want?" She looked up at Liam and asked in impatience. Seeing that she was a little angry, Liam felt that she was very cute. "What? Do you want to leave after using me?" "Then what do you..." Abigail looked at him and asked. At this moment, Liam looked outside. The next second, before Abigail could react, he suddenly leaned over, touched her face, and kissed her on the lips... Abigail was shocked and forgot to push him away. It was not until Liam let her go that Abigail regained her senses. Chapter 211 Chapter 211 "You..." Liam looked rxed and said naturally, "I saw an acquaintance just now and you did me a favor." Abigail was speechless. He was on purpose. It was an imitation of what she had just done! Abigail clenched her fists and stared at him, but there was nothing she could do. Thinking for a while, she gave a nod and said, "Okay, then we don''t owe anything to each other." With no more words to say, she walked out directly. Liam stood there and didn''t stop her, but there was a smirk hovering on his lips. After Abigail went out, Leo was looking for her. He walked towards the balcony as soon as he saw she left. However, at this time, he noticed that Liam also came out from there. His expression slightly changed. He looked up into the provocative gaze of Liam. The expression on his face changed all of a sudden. But when he saw Abigail walking towards him, he concealed his anger. "I''m sorry, are you looking for me?" Abigail went close to Leo and said. "Yeah." He nodded and asked casually, "Where did you go?" As she came closer, he gazed at her lips and was shocked to see that her lipsticks were smudged. "Forget it. I just had a chat with my friend." Abigail answered ndly. She didn''t want to tell Leo that she had been with Liam. But Leo also had already seen them... He could even guess what they had done! Even if he was in a bad mood, he still smiled at her. "What''s up?" Abigail found something wrong with Leo as well. "Nothing." Leo gave a slight smile and used his hand to gently wipe her lips. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Abigail waspletely frozen. It was because Leo rarely did this to her. At most, he would hug her decently. But now, he acted as if they were a couple... Abigail felt awkward, but she didn''t dare to move. She could only watch him with her long and thick eyshes fluttering up and down. Nevertheless, Leo seriously looked at her face and used his thumb to slowly wipe her lips. It seemed that he wanted to erase his unhappiness and the marks and breath of Liam. Abigail stood there without moving. Suddenly, she remembered one thing. That was the image of Liam kissing her. She thought her lipsticks must have been smudged... With her face blushing instantly, she stared at Leo. He didn''t say anything but smile faintly. "It''s done." Abigail forced a smile, but she had severely scolded Liam in her heart. She got extremely embarrassed, but she had to pretend that she was calm. However, Liam saw that Leo wiped her lips and red at him with rage. ''Leo!'' The battle between men was getting started! Liam stood there casually with a ss of champagne in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on them... He would never give up so easily! Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Leo and Abigail stood there, talking andughing. Even when they were dancing, they cooperated very well. However, Abigail did not notice that someone was ring at her with eyes filled with hatred. Liam and Olive were also dancing. Liam looked at Abigail from time to time. The anger in his eyes hurt Olive. Although Liam was dancing with her, his eyes never fell on her. At the thought of this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. ''If Abigail disappears, Liam will fall in love with me again.'' She took a determined look at Liam in front of her. After the dance, Abigail looked at Leo and smiled. "I''m going to the bathroom." Leo nodded. Abigail went to the bathroom, and Leo stood there, looking at her with a satisfied smile... Liam saw Abigail walk to the bathroom and said to Olive, "I''m going to the bathroom." Then he was about to leave, but just as he took a step, Olive grabbed his hand. Liam frowned and looked back at her. Olive held his hand tightly. "Liam..." Looking at Olive''s pleading eyes, Liam suddenly felt pitiful. "What happened?" Olive was surprised and then said, "I feel terrible... I feel terrible..." As she spoke, she fell on him in pain. Liam immediately held her. "What happened?" He didn''t notice anything wrong with her. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Olive was leaning against him. "Liam, I''m not feeling well. Can you take me home..." Looking at Olive''s pained expression, Liam looked up in the direction of the bathroom. Finally, he frowned, looked at the woman in his arms, and said, "Okay, I''ll take you home." "Thank you." Olive nodded weakly. Liam was driving, and Olive leaned against the passenger seat, looking very ufortable. "Hold on, I''ll take you to the hospital." Liam looked at Olive and then sped up. Olive said, "I am fine. I''m just not feeling well. I don''t have to go to the hospital." "But..." "If we go to the hospital and are photographed by the reporters, we will make the headlines again tomorrow," Olive said. Liam knew she was right, but... He frowned. He had known Olive for so long, and the rumors about them had never stopped because Olive had arranged it on purpose. He knew that she wanted to tell others that they were in a rtionship, but now she was afraid that they would make the headlines. He was at a loss why she changed a lot. "When were you afraid of making the headlines?" Liam suddenly asked. Olive was shocked. Her long eyshes trembled and she said, "This is a critical time. I don''t want to cause you any trouble." ''This reason is far-fetched.'' ''Very far-fetched!'' Liam put on a slight smile and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "You really don''t want to go to the hospital?" Chapter 213 Chapter 213 "Yes!" "Are you sure? Where are we going then?" Liam asked. Olive slowly leaned against Liam''s arm. "As long as you are by my side, I''m OK with any ce." Hearing it, the man turned and nced at Olive, without rejection. Then, he drove straight to her house. Seeing that Liam did not move away, Olive leaned against him to rest with her eyes closed and a smile. It had been a long time since she had smiled so happily. However, such a wonderful time would never be permanent. "We''ve arrived." Liam suddenly said. Hearing it, Olive immediately opened her eyes, only to find that they had arrived at the door She didn''t expect Liam to drive so fast. In a daze, Olive said, "Liam, let''s go inside together. My parents aren''t at home now..." "No." Liam refused decisively. "I still have something to do. I have to leave!" Liam rejected. Noticing his indifference and impatience, Olive frowned. "Are you busy, or are you missing someone?" Hearing the question, Liam looked up at her. "What do you mean?" Olive suddenly smiled bitterly. "Nothing. You can go." Then, she unbuckled her seat belt, about to get off. Liam sat there, looking at Olive who was walking inside, in silence. Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly turned around and kissed his lips. "Liam, no matter what, I want you to remember that I love you the most." She nced affectionately at Liam, then turned around, pushed the door open, and entered the house. The man sat still and frowned, thinking about what Olive had done just now. In a daze for almost a minute, the man suddenly came up with something and started the engine. The party was almost over. Liam drove as fast as he could. When he arrived, many people were leaving. The man stopped the car, stood still, with his eyes focusing on the gate, waiting for someone. A lot of people wereing out, except for the person he was waiting for. Liam frowned, but he kept waiting patiently. Leo''s party was extremely grand, with many guests attending. It was not surprising that it took plenty of T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. time for the guests to leave. As a result, Liam continued to wait in the car. Most of them hade out, except for Abigail, which made the man frown uneasily. When Liam was confused, Leo came out, looking bad. Most importantly, Abigail was not with Leo. ''Could it be that Abigail had left?'' ''It is impossible...'' Thinking about it, Liam pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Leo!" He called out. Leo was standing there waiting for the car. Seeing Liaming over, he frowned. "What''s the matter?" Leo asked, showing no kindness to Liam. Chapter 214 Chapter 214 "Where''s Abigail?" Liam asked directly, not wanting to talk too much with him. Hearing this, Leo was in a nk and looked at him, "Didn''t she go with you?" "Of course not," Liam said. At this point, he was dazed and looked at Leo, "What do you mean?" "She disappeared. I thought she left with you." Leo said. He had been unhappy for a long time because of this. His words made Liam''s expression change, but Leo seemed to be serious. "I indeed left. Because it was Olive who was with me, not Abigail!" both of them were shocked. They looked at each other, feeling something bad had happened. The next second, the two of them ran into the hotel in tacit agreement. "When did you see herst time?" Liam held back his anger and said with a sullen face. "She said she was going to the restroom. And then I never saw her again.". "It seems that the time west saw her was the same." As he spoke, the two of them walked to the restroom in a hurry. A cleaner was cleaning up in the restroom. Leo and Liam rushed in without any consideration. The cleaner was dumbfounded. After they broke in, they saw there was no one inside. "Abigail!" Liam shouted. The two of them searched everywhere but found no sign of Abigail. "Sir, this...this is thedy''s room!" At this moment, the cleaner stood at the door and said timidly. Because both of them looked like rich men, she could not afford to offend them, so she could only speak tactfully. Hearing her words, Liam spoke up, "Have you seen a woman in a white gown? She has long hair and carries a bag!" Liam looked at her and asked. His nervousness scared the cleaner a little. She shook her head in fear, "No." Hearing this, Liam clenched his fists and didn''t know what to do. Leo walked over and looked at her, "Where''s your manager?" "Out...outside..." "Tell your manager toe here right away," Leo shouted. "Okay." she nodded and ran out for the manager. Leo and Liam also came out. Both of them looked very worried and anxious but were holding back their emotions. Two minutester, the manager rushed over. Seeing it was Leo and Liam, he trotted over. "Mr. Jones, Mr. Harris." the manager greeted nervously. "Someone is missing in your hotel tonight. What do you think you should do?" Liam looked at the manager and asked.

Can you make it more clear, Mr. Jones?" Liam then described Abigail to the manager, and thetter asked everyone to look for Abigail. "Mr. Jones, Mr. Harris, if she is still in the hotel, we can definitely find her." The managerforted them instantly. Chapter 215 Chapter 215 Liam didn''t listen to these words at all and just wanted to find Abigail earlier. "Hurry the f*cking up," Liam said fiercely. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. The manager was so scared and sweating. Leo was also anxious and didn''t say anything since Liam was angry now. At this moment, Leo frowned when noticing there were no surveince cameras in the corridor."Don''t you have any surveince cameras in your hotel?" The manager quickly nodded. "We just removed the broken one here and didn''t install a new one. There are security cameras everywhere else." Liam understood Leo''s meaning and immediately said, "Then show me the surveince video." "Oh, okay. Come with me!" The manager nodded repeatedly and took them to the surveince room. They watched the surveince footage from tonight in which Abigail walked towards Liam. Then they began dancing. Finally, Abigail walked to the bathroom. "This is the time," Liam said. Leo nodded. "This is thest time I''ve seen her." After walking into the bathroom, Abigail never came out again. And the camera didn''t record what had happened in that corridor. "Damn it." Liam lost his patience He scolded. Leo continued to watch the surveince video. Then Liam carried Olive away. But Abigail never came out. Leo and Liam both knew that Abigail would not leave with a French leave. As both of them were deep in thought, the manager got the walkie-talkie. "Manager, we searched around the hotel, but we didn''t find Miss Swift!"A man said on the other side of the walkie-talkie. Liam and Leo heard it clearly. The manager noticed that Leo and Liam were angry. "Mr. Jones, Mr. Harris, my workers have searched all over the hotel, but still didn''t find Miss Swift. Could it be..." "No!" Leo said firmly. "What? Is your hotel trying to shirk responsibility?" Leo looked at the manager and asked coldly. The manager was shocked and then said, "No." "Is there an exit from the toilet?" Liam looked at the surveince video and asked the manager. Liam had to calm down at this moment. The manager paused and nodded. "There''s a safe exit." Liam immediately asked, "Where does it lead to?" "Inner court!" "Is there a surveince video over there?" "Yes." The manager nodded immediately. "Find it now," Liam said. Chapter 216 Chapter 216 The manager immediately nodded, then told the person in charge of the surveince system to y the footage of the inner courtyard. At first, nothing unusual happened. Liam and Leo were confused about if they were wrong. Just as they thinking about it, a car appeared on the screen. It drove in and went straight to the exit. Liam and Leo were surprised, and then they kept looking at the car. The people in the car did not move. They could not see clearly who were inside at all because of the darkness, nor could they see what the people inside were doing. They focused carefully on the surveince footage. At this moment, three people came out of the exit. Two men and one woman. The woman was leaning on one man''s shoulder. The other man opened the door and helped her in. Nothing could be seen clearly, but they immediately recognized Abigail through her dress. It was her. Definitely. They were shocked. Although they could not see Abigail''s face, they were so sure. How could Abigail be with them? So, obviously... This was a kidnapping. "How do you exin this?" Liam looked at the picture and asked the manager firmly. Thetter didn''t know what to say for a moment. Now the facts proved that the person disappeared from their hotel. "Sorry, I''ll tell the general manager to deal with it right away." The manager said quickly. After all, the person was missing in their hotel and they were responsible for that. Liam and Leo were both silent with an annoyed look. The manager nced at them and quickly walked out. Neither Liam nor Leo gave up. Instead, they walked over and asked. "Can you see the te number?" "Let me see." The person in charge of the surveince video answered. Almost a minuteter, he said, "I found it. This is it." Seeing the te number, Liam immediately grabbed his cell phone and took a picture of it. After that, he dialed a number. "Hey, Jason, investigate a te number. Be quick!" Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Okay." "I''ve already sent it to you. Hurry up!" "Got it." Just as he hung up, the general manager of the hotel came in. When he saw Leo and Liam, he quickly walked over. "Mr. Jones, Mr. Harris." "Should there be an exnation for this?" "Don''t worry, we''ve already sent persons to investigate and called the police. We can find her soon." The general manager said. Now, this was the best way. Although Liam and Leo were worried and angry, they could not me him now. Even if the hotel was blown down, Abigail could not be discovered. Now the only way to find Abigail sooner was to cooperate properly. "If you fail, I would make you lose your hotel," Liam warned. He just vented his anger for worrying so much. The general manager was so scared that he nodded repeatedly. It was not easy to run a hotel. Why did such things happen to him? Chapter 217 Chapter 217 After thinking for a while, the general manager looked up. "Mr. Jones, Mr. Harris, I have an idea." "Try me," Leo replied. "Maybe Abigail knows those people, so..." "Shut up." Before the manager could finish, Liam shouted in anger. Leo didn''t look pleased as well. Liam said furiously, "Are you now shirking responsibility for your hotel?" "No, no, I didn''t mean that, Mr. Jones... I just heard my colleague say that Miss Swift looked very drunk, so could it be possible that she left with her friends..." "Shut up. Did you hear me?" Liam roared again. This time, the general manager closed his mouth. Even Leo was surprised that Liam was so irritated. It was obvious that Liam really cared about Abigail... Meanwhile, Liam sneered, "Do you know who the missing Miss Swift is?" Confused, the general manager subconsciously asked, "Who?" "The Swift Group''s princess and my wife!" Liam introduced slowly. Although Abigail was Liam''s ex-wife, in Liam''s opinion, Abigail was still his wife. Hearing it, Leo was unhappy, but he didn''t rebut. What he added would only serve as a stain on Abigail''s reputation. As expected, after listening to Liam''s introduction, the manager was stunned and desperate. "So, general manager, think about it. If the Swift Group works with the Powerline Group to fight against your hotel, the consequence is evident." The general manager was shocked. "Mr. Jones!" "I hope to receive the news within two days. Otherwise, just wait for the loss." After that, Liam left directly. "Why did you kidnap me?" Abigail suddenly looked at the man beside her and asked. Although she knew the reason, she wanted to know more about the details. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only The man was shocked and looked at Abigail, "Because you have offended our boss." "Who''s your boss?" Abigail asked immediately. "Of course Mr. Fr..." The man suddenly stopped, as if he realized he had said too much. He stared at Abigail with an unhappy look, "Don''t you know who you''ve offended?" Chapter 218 Chapter 218 Abigail did not answer directly, "Are you talking about... Frank?" The man''s expression changed, "When did I say that?" T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Just now," Abigail said and looked at the man very calmly. Now it was the man who became nervous. Abigail felt very funny that such a man should be a kidnapper. Sure enough, after hearing Abigail''s words, he became awkward. Frank had told him not to talk too much. "Nonsense." At this moment, he roared at Abigail. His expression made Abigail confirm one thing. She was right. "You know it very well whether I''m talking nonsense or not. What if Frank knew you betrayed him?" Abigail looked at him and asked. "Shut your f*cking mouth up." The man shouted angrily at Abigail. "Whether you say it or not, he wille to see me in the end. By then, I can frame you." Abigail looked at him and said word by word. Abigail''s words sounded reasonable. Moreover, he knew that Frank was always a suspicious person. If Abigail told him, he would definitely fire him. It would be okay if he was fired, but he was afraid... Thinking of this, he did not dare to continue. He looked at Abigail, "What do you want?" "I just want to know where I am." Abigail looked at him and said coldly. "Impossible!" The man said decisively. "Well, then I''ll tell Frank that you betrayed him and even wanted to let me go because you were afraid of getting into trouble..." Abigail looked at him and said. "You..." The man looked at Abigail with eyes widely open, but he didn''t know what to do with her. "Actually, my request is very simple. I just want to know where I am. Now that I''m tied up by you, I can''t escape even if I want to. It doesn''t matter if you tell me, right?" Abigail was good at persuading people. She always felt that she was qualified to be a psychologist. Hearing Abigail''s words, the man frowned and asked, "How could I believe you?" "Even if you don''t believe me, don''t you believe your own ability? Do you think I can escape when tied up?" Her words made the man somewhat satisfied. Of course, he believed in his own ability. "Okay, since you can''t escape, I''ll tell you. But you should promise that if I tell you, you won''t tell Frank." The man warned her word by word. Abigail sat on the bed and nodded, "Okay, I swear, I won''t!" Looking at Abigail''s sincere look, the man finally said, "Here is South Bay District!" ''South Bay District?'' Hearing this, Abigail was shocked. It was a key development area far from the city center. Chapter 219 Chapter 219 "In which part of the South Bay District?" Abigail asked immediately. "You ask too much!" The man stopped answering Abigail''s question now. Instead, he looked at her. "I''ve told you the location now. Don''t me me for being rude if you try to escape." Abigail was sensible and did not ask any more questions as he had warned her. She was just thinking about how to let out the news and get someone to save her. Seeing that Abigail had stopped talking, he walked aside. "Hey..." Abigail shouted from behind at the moment. "What?" T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "When will Franke to see me?" Abigail asked. To be honest, Abigail felt that he was a dangerous person ever since she met himst time. "He''s busy now. He''lle when he is free." The man said. Hearing this, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief. She now wanted to see Frank soon but at the same time, she didn''t. After all, she didn''t know what Frank would do to her. The man did not leave. He sat far away and looked at Abigail, afraid that she would run away. Abigail sat on the bed doing nothing. She was just thinking about how to leave or how to send a message outside. Two hours passed unknowingly. Abigail felt extremely nervous when she heard the door open. Her intuition told her that the person who came was Frank. Just as expected, Frank walked in. Abigail frowned and tried to look calm when she saw him. "Frank." Seeing hee in, the guard at the side immediately walked up and greeted him. "Is she awake?" "Yes." The man nodded and said something in Frank''s ear. Abigail tried to hear them clearly, but because they were far away and talked in a low voice, she failed. After that, Frank nodded and walked straight to Abigail. Abigail sat on the bed and watched him walk over. Until he walked up to Abigail and saw her, Frank raised a sneer and said. "Miss Swift, long time no see." Abigail sat there and looked straight at him. "Frank, it''s been a long time. I didn''t expect you to be more and more powerful now and kidnap me." Frank couldn''t tell Abigail was a very powerful woman from her appearance but he could easily know this from her words and deeds. "Abigail, I didn''t even settle ounts with you for what you did to mest time." Frank looked at Abigail and gritted his teeth. Abigail frowned looking at him. "Frank, is it because I didn''t inform your wife of what you have done? If I did, then I''m not gonna take the me?" Abigail asked. "You!" "Frank, should all women be defiled by you?" Abigail looked at him and asked. Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Frank wore a solemn expression. The person behind him was standing there. Although he did not know what was going on between Frank and Abigail, he knew very well about Frank. At this moment, it seemed thisdy was one Frank wanted to rape but failed. Moreover, Frank had been tricked by her. Listening to Abigail''s words, Frank looked angry. If it weren''t because her eyes looked like another person''s so much, he would have strangled her to death. "What a glib tongue. I''d like to see how long you can keep yourposure." After that, Frank turned to look at the person behind him, "You go out first." The man nodded and turned to leave. Abigail didn''t feel danger until she saw the man walk out of the room. She looked at the angry Frank in front of her, who was looking at her with his burning eyes. Abigail also looked back at him, "What do you want to do?" R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only "What do I want to do?" Hearing this, Frank sneered, "Huh, are you afraid?" "I''m telling you, you''d better not hurt me." Abigail looked at him and warned him. What they had said before echoed in her mind. He didn''t want to kill her, but to rape her. Looking at Abigail''s nervous look, Frank felt very happy. "It turns out that you have fear." Frank looked at her and asked. "I didn''t expect you to do this. Kidnapping is against thew, Frank." Abigail sneered. Hearing Abigail''s sarcastic words, Frank narrowed his eyes and looked straight at her... Her eyes looked more and more like... They were exactly the same. Even the look in her eyes was the same. Seeing that he was staring at her, Abigail felt a little flustered. She clearly knew what kind of person Frank was. She had heard of him long ago. He was so notorious. Everyone knew about his character. How could she not be afraid and worried? "Oh, so what? As long as I teach you a lesson, I''ll have a way to shut you up." Frank looked at Abigail and warned her word by word. "Then I''m telling you very clearly that unless you kill me, I will never let you go," Abigail told him firmly. Hearing Abigail''s words, Frank felt funny, "You don''t think I dare to kill you?" "I didn''t mean that, Frank. I just want to tell you that you can''t get away with it. I believe they will catch you." Abigail told him with certainty. "They? Who?" After hearing Abigail''s words, Frank frowned and looked at her. ''Who...'' This question stumped Abigail. She didn''t know who she was expecting, but she seemed to have a belief in her heart. "Of course, there will be someone." Abigail looked at him and said firmly. Looking at Abigail, Frank was dazed for a moment and then smiled, "Really? Then I want to see who wille to save you." As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Abigail. Abigail sat there and watched him walk towards her step by step. She frowned and looked at Frank warily with her beautiful eyes. "What are you going to do?" Frank did not speak. His eyes narrowed and he stared straight at Abigail''s face. Abigail looked at him and wanted to step back, but she couldn''t move a bit. "What the hell do you want to do?" Abigail tried to break free from the shackles that chained her hands and feet, but she could not. Chapter 221 Chapter 221 Frank walked over, suddenly lifted Abigail''s chin, looking directly into her eyes. It was as if he was looking for a trace of familiarity in her eyes. Abigail was a neat freak. She felt disgusted when anyone she didn''t like touched her, not to mention this notorious man. Abigail felt sick now. Frank was staring at Abigail. When he saw the disgusted look in her eyes, he suddenly frowned. "You hate me?" "I am d that you can see it," Abigail said. Then she added in disgust, "Let me go!" The look of disgust in her eyes made Frank feel that apletely different person was looking at him. His hands clenched. "Don''t look at me like that." Abigail did not know why he suddenly became so excited, but she understood the principle that a wise person knew when to retreat. She frowned and asked, "Frank, you must know the saying, do not do to others what you would not have them do to you, don''t you?" "You..." Abigail''s eloquence only upset Frank even more. Then, he sneered, "Let me see how persistent you can be." Then he leaned over. "What are you doing?" Abigail shouted. "Let you know what will happen if you offend me." Abigail suddenly felt like vomiting. She felt disgusted when strangers or annoying people like him suddenly approached her. "Frank, let go of me. If you dare to do anything to me, I will never be done with you!" Abigail shouted angrily. However, Frank ignored her because he was overtaken by rage and wanted to teach her a lesson. His lips were getting close to her, but Abigail kept struggling. Abigail even wanted to cut off that part that had been touched by this man. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only "Let go of me, Frank. Do you know what you''re doing? I will sue you! Definitely!" Abigail was on the verge of a breakdown and couldn''t calm down. "Abigail, if you are afraid now, why did you offend me?" "Stop, let me go," Abigail shouted. However, no one would help her, no matter how loudly she screamed. This ce was full of his men. "Abigail, I''ll let you know the consequences of offending me." As he spoke, he went even crazier. Abigail was stunned. She could tell that Frank would not give up until he taught her a lesson. What should she do? Abigail tried her best to calm herself down. However, as Frank approached, she kept losing control of her emotions, unable to calm down at all. When his handnded on her skin, Abigail thought she was going crazy. Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Frank''s phone rang as she was about to shout. Abigail distinctly felt that Frank quivered. Then, he loosened his grip and let her go. Frank stood up and took out his phone. His expression changed when he saw the phone number. Abigail was still lying there, watching Frank''s expression carefully. It was interesting to see his expression change when he saw the numbers. He had a frustrated and helpless look. Finally, he picked up his phone and walked out. Abigail lied on the bed and looked at Frank''s back. She guessed it was his wife''s call. She didn''t expect this man to be so afraid of his wife. "Hello, honey..." Frank spoke as he walked out. Abigail didn''t know what they said, and she didn''t want to know. At this moment, she just leaned against the wall, sweating and breathing a sigh of relief. She was lucky! She was very lucky! What happened just now was the only time that Abigail was so scared and had great regret. It was a timely call to her. Otherwise, Abigail didn''t know what would have happened next. Abigaily there and wanted to have a good rest. What happened just now not only weakened her but also tested her ability to react. She had to find a way to escape. She must try! Abigail had been missing all night. She had disappeared sincest night. It had been a night. Liam had sent someone to investigate ording to Jason''s instructions. However, he still couldn''t find her. Moreover, her family probably still didn''t know about it. Therefore, Liam dialed Jacob''s number. It was rare for Jacob to receive a call from Liam. "Mr. Jones, it''s rare that you called me," Jacob answered the phone and said in a low voice. "Cut the crap. I called you just to tell you that Abigail is missing." Liam held the phone and said slowly. Obviously, the person on the other end of the line was shocked and then said in disbelief, "What did N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. you say?" "Abi is missing?" Jacob asked incredulously. "Yes," Liam said tonelessly. Jacob frowned, "Liam, what do you mean by that?" "I specte that she was kidnapped." "Kidnapped?" Jacob was even more surprised. ''Abigail has few enemies. How could she be kidnapped?'' ''Is it... because of Liam?'' ''That is quite possible!'' Jacob held the phone, "Liam, Abi works in yourpany. She''s missing now. Shouldn''t you be responsible for it?" "Responsible?" Hearing this, Liam suddenly sneered, "What should I do? Give you some money as Jacob was instantly speechless. "Jacob, at this time, the first thing you think of is to make me take the responsibility, not her personal safety." "I..." "She didn''t disappear in mypany. Even if she did, I don''t have to make any promises to you." Liam said. "What do you mean?" "She disappeared at Leo''s ce. If you want someone to take responsibility, he should bear the brunt. I called you not to make promises, but to inform you. I think that as her family you should know about it." Liam hung up after he finished speaking, ignoring Jacob''s reaction. Chapter 223 Chapter 223 Jacob was in a nk with the beep on the phone. Without a doubt, he was speechless because of Liam''s words. It was not because Liam pointed out that he first thought aboutpensation when he heard the news but because he firmly believed that Liam had the ability to find Abigail and save her... However, his words still hit Jacob hard. In a whole day, there was no news of Abigail. No one dared to step into Liam''s office. No one knew what happened to Liam today. He was very choleric and irritable. Everyone who came to him was scolded. The wholepany was in a panic. Even the most gossipy person shut his mouth up today because they feared that if Liam heard about their gossip, they would be fired. Therefore, the wholepany was shrouded in a thick atmosphere of tension. Jane really hoped Abigail could be here. She always had the ability to ease the tension. But Abigail didn''te today for some reason. Jane looked at Abigail''s seat... [At night] After work, everyone packed up and left. Liam, who usually got off work as early as possible, today had been in the office all the time and did not As the evening wore on, there was still no news about Abigail. Liam couldn''t sit still anymore. If there was no news today, then... Abigail must be in great danger. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Just then, his phone rang. He immediately picked it up to have a look. When he saw the number disyed on the screen, he was obviously a little disappointed. But he had no choice but to answer it. "Hello, dad..." "What are you doing?" "I''m still at thepany." "When did you start working so hard?" Robert said on the phone. Liam was speechless. When didn''t he work hard? Normally, Liam would have teased Robert, but now he was not in the mood at all. "Dad, what''s the matter?" "Nothing. I just wanted to know about your recent situation. Oh, by the way, your mother and grandma areing back soon. They both wanted to see Abigail. Remember to bring her back for dinner." Robert said. Instead of caring about him, his father''s true intention was to ask him to take Abigail back for dinner. "Got it," Liam replied. Robert felt something different. He knew very well about his own child. Liam was too quiet today. "Is there anything wrong?" Robert suddenly asked. Liam held the phone and was a little anxious. When hearing Robert''s words, he was dazed and asked, "What?" "You don''t sound right." "I''m just a little tired. I''ll bring her back by then." Liam said. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Robert knew very clear about Liam''s character. He wouldn''t probe when he felt that Liam didn''t want to talk about it since he knew that once his son wanted to say it, his son would naturallye to him. "Okay, go home and rest early." "OK!" Robert chatted with his son for a few more minutes and then hung up. Chapter 224 Chapter 224 After hanging up, Liam threw his phone on the desk and took a deep breath. He looked out the window. For some reason, he felt anxious for no news about that woman. ''Abigail, you''d better be okay! If something happened to you, what should I do?'' Liam stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window to observe the night scenery. Now, all lights were on. At this moment, the phone on the desk rang again. Liam immediately turned around, picked up his phone, and answered it. "Hello, Mr. Jones." "How''s the investigation going?" Liam asked directly. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only "I have investigated for a day. The original records here disappeared. But I still found something. I''ve e- mailed it to you." After hearing the words, Liam felt relieved, "Okay." "Okay, Mr. Jones. If you need further help, just call me!" "Thank you. " Then Liam hung up the phone directly. And he quickly returned to his chair and turned on theputer before he could sit down. He found the email and quickly clicked on it. There were about ten pages. It was not that easy to search for a person in City A. But this car happened to be marked so that Liam could find it with more ease. So, from the first page, he read the names one by one. But even he rarely contacted most of these people, let alone Abigail. Finally, he found a clue on the sixth page. At that moment, he was stunned. His instinct was telling him. It was the person! Frank Green! He remembered in order to sign a contract, Abigail teased Frank at the restaurant. When he arrived, Frank had already sent someone out to look for her. Fortunately, they hid to be safe. After that, Frank never showed up again. Liam had long forgotten about that. Now when he saw the name, he suddenly remembered it. Thinking of that, he suddenly recalled that he saw Frank at Leo''s party... At that moment, Liam suddenly affirmed something and immediately took out his phone. "Help me find out where Frank is now." "Now?" "Yes, right now, immediately," Liam said word by word. Now, as long as there was information about Abigail, even if it was just weakly rted to her, he wanted to rush over directly. After hanging up the phone, he walked around in the office, nervous. He was sure that this matter must have something to do with Frank. He wanted his Abigail back, safe. Chapter 225 Chapter 225 A few minutester, Liam''s phone rang again. "Mr. Jones, I found that Frank is seeing someone in a hotel, talking business." "Which one?" "Rido Hotel." "Okay." After hanging up the phone, Liam picked up his jacket and the car key on the desk and left without saying a word. He would take every piece of news seriously. Liam pulled up beside the gate of the Rido Hotel and gazed there. As long as Frank came out, Liam would see him. Afraid that Frank left without being noticed by him, Liam did not look away even for a second. At this moment, his phone rang. Liam put on his Bluetooth earphones and answered the phone. "Who''s that?" "Liam, where are you?" Olive asked softly. "Outside. What''s wrong?" Liam asked as he fixed his eyes on the gate of the hotel, afraid that he would miss something. "Nothing. I just want to ask you out for dinner. It''s been a long time..." At this moment, Liam saw someoneing out. There were three or four people, and one of them was Frank. Liam immediately said, "Maybe next time. I have something to do now. Gotta go..." Then he hung up the phone directly. "I..." Olive said something over the phone, but it had been hung up. Holding her phone, Olive felt upset and sad. ''What''s the thing that he is so urgent to handle?'' She suddenly had a foreboding. Liam saw Frank talking to others at the entrance of the hotel for a long time before they left one by one. At this point, a car pulled up in front of Frank. He opened the door and got in. The car slowly drove away. Liam quickly followed it. The car was not driving very fast, but Liam was very close to it. "Mr. Green, where are we going now?" The driver asked. Frank was dazed for a moment. "Pull over." Then he ordered. The driver was confused, but he did so. "I''ll drive. Take a taxi home yourself. I have something else to do today." Frank said. The driver didn''t dare to ask any more questions. He nodded. He unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car. Frank also got out of the car and sat in the driver''s seat. Liam saw this from behind. He stared straight ahead, wanting to see what Frank was up to. Then Frank drove away. When the driver saw him leave, he turned around and took a taxi. There must be something wrong. Liam continued to follow. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Frank turned around and drove at a very fast speed. Liam was even more certain that Frank must be up to something. And it must have something rted to Abigail. Chapter 226 Chapter 226 Thinking of this, he slowed down a bit in case Frank found him. Suddenly, Frank''s phone rang. When he saw the number, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, but he still answered. "Hello..." "Where are you now?" A girl asked sharply. "Why should I tell you?" "Where did you put Abigail?" she asked nervously. "It''s none of your business!" "Frank, you''d better be careful. If someone finds it, both of us will be screwed." "Don''t worry. No one will know where she is. No one!" Frank said seriously. "It''d better be like this. Also, if anything happens, if you dare to tell on me, I won''t let you go." A warning voice came through the phone. Frank smiled, "Miss Miller, are you afraid?" "I''m just warning you." "Okay, I have to go. I am in the middle of something. Bye." Frank didn''t bother to say anything more to her and hung up the phone. Although it was dark, Liam still saw Frank answering the phone in the car with the help of the dim street He kept a distance from Frank to prevent Frank from discovering him. Only at this moment did Liam realize that they were heading for the South Bay District... At this point, Leo was in his office, anxious. It was not because of work or anything else. He was worried about Abigail. It had been a day and a night, but there was still no news of her. Not to mention his feelings for Abigail, he had the responsibility to get Abigail back because she disappeared at his party. Besides, he did have feelings for her... The door was suddenly pushed open and Mike walked in. "Mr. Harris, I found some clues," Mike said. Leo''s eyes widened when he heard the voice, "What?" "A while ago, when Miss Swift started her work at the Powerline Group, Liam gave her a hard time by asking her to sign a contract with someone at the Ratio Group. That person was Frank, an old bastard. It was at that party that Abigail offended him, and no one else is suspicious except him." Mike said. Leo was shocked. Abigail must be very dangerous now if the bastard Frank held her in captivity... Leo immediately looked up at Mike, "Where is Frank now?" Mike froze for a second and said, "I''ll go find it right now." Then he turned around and walked out. Leo paced nervously back and forth in the office. As long as he thought that Abigail might be locked up by Frank, he could not calm down. After a while, Mike came in and looked at Leo, "Mr. Harris, twenty minutes ago, Frank left the Rido Hotel after having dinner with some people. He didn''t go home, and now we don''t know where he is." Mike said. Leo frowned, "Did he go to hispany?" "No," Mike said. Leo frowned again. Frank''s behaviors were weird, which made him more suspicious. Chapter 227 Chapter 227 "What should we do now?" Mike asked. After working for Leo for such a long time, Mike was clear that Leo loved Abigail. "Find Frank''s number," Leo ordered. It was a piece of cake. After all, Frank was also a businessman, whose phone number was easy to get. Mike nodded. "Okay!" Then, he started to look for Frank''s phone number. After a few minutes, the two of them sat in the car. Leo dialed a number. "Hello, Frank, this is Leo." "Mr. Harris? What''s the matter?" Frank was a little surprised to receive a call from Leo. "Could I ask you a favor?" "Never mind, just say what I can do for you." "I want someone''s location!" Leo replied. Thest time they met, they had had a simple talk and exchanged their numbers. To Leo''s surprise, the number was useful. "OK. Just give me the number. I''ll check it for you right away." "Okay, thank you, Frank. Let''s eat out at your convenience." "Sure!" Frank said. Although Frank was more experienced than Leo, it was clear that thetter was promising in City A, the only person qualified topete with Liam. As a result, Frank would help Leo no matter what. "I''ve already sent you the number. Please locate it as soon as possible!" "Right away," Frank promised. "Thank you!" After saying it, Leo hung up directly. Mike who was sitting aside could tell that Leo was worried and nervous. "Mr. Harris, don''t worry. I believe Miss Swift will be fine." Mikeforted. Leo looked straight ahead, thinking of Frank, then Liam. "Liam, if Abigail has any trouble, I will never forgive you!" Leo said firmly, word by word. If it weren''t for Liam, Abigail wouldn''t have provoked the man. Now, Liam had to be responsible for the matter. Looking at the worried man, Mike didn''t say anything. Soon, Leo''s phone rang again. Seeing the number, he answered it immediately. "Hello, Frank!" "Mr. Harris, I''ve found the location and sent it to you. I hope it can help you!" "Of course, thank you for your kind help, Frank. Let''s meet another day. Bye!" Leo said nervously. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Okay, see you then." After that, Frank hung up. Leo immediately checked his phone. Seeing the location which was South Bay District, Leo immediately started the engine, about to leave. Mike was didn''t expect Leo to drive so fast, which stunned Mike, and reached out to grab the handrail. Mike wanted to ask Leo to slow down, but after seeing Leo''s bad look, he kept silent. As a result, the car sped along the road. Mike quietly fastened his seat belt and clenched the handrail, muttering to himself repeatedly that Mr. Harris was good at driving. Just like that, Leo sped all the way to the South Bay District. Chapter 228 Chapter 228 [In the room] Sitting on the bed, Abigail always felt that something would happen tonight, so she panicked. She looked around but didn''t find anything that could help her escape. She had talked to the guard several times, but he refused to help her. Abigail sat there and thought, ''Do I really have to put my fate in God''s hands?'' Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. As she was thinking about it, she heard footsteps outside. "Frank!" Hearing that, Abigail was nervous at once. It was sote now. What was he doing here? The door was opened while her heart was beating fast. "Mr. Green." The guard immediately nodded and greeted when he saw Frank. "How is she?" Frank asked. His eyes were a little red since he had drunk. "She stayed there quietly all the time." The guard said. Hearing this, Frank nced at Abigail and nodded, "Well, you can leave now." The guard nodded and turned to leave. The door was closed, so only Abigail and Frank were in therge room. Abigail stared at Frank who walked towards her step by step. "How is it? How does it feel to stay here?" Frank walked up to Abigail, looked at her, and asked with a smile. He felt much better when he heard that she had stayed here quietly. After hearing what Frank said, Abigail sneered and looked up at him, "If you were kidnapped and imprisoned here, how would you feel?" Abigail always hit the nail on the head, which made people unable to defend themselves. "If you''re obedient, I can let you go," he said. Abigail was dazed for a moment and looked up at him, "Really?" Looking at Abigail''s eyes, Frank smiled evilly, "Of course, but... not now." Abigail was speechless. Abigail immediately rolled her eyes at him, "Then you''d better not to give me any hope." "Do you think I don''t know what you''re thinking? Let go of you and you''ll find a chance to escape." Frank looked at Abigail and said slowly. "Every normal person wants to escape, okay?" Abigail stared at him and said tonelessly. She was about to talk nonsense to stall for time as much as possible. Frank''s red face and eyes revealed that he had drunk. When Abigail talked to him, he had an illusion for a moment and walked slowly towards her. As soon as he got close to her, Abigail smelled a strong smell of alcohol. "You want me to let you go. Okay. However, you should know what to do..." He walked slowly to her as he spoke. His voice got lower while his eyes stared at her all the time as if he wanted to rape her immediately. Sensing his intentions and smelling the odor of liquor, Abigail frowned right away. "Frank, you''d better calm down. What you''ve done is illegal. Even if you''re not afraid of breaking the
