Chapter 8
Derrick stood up. After pacing around the room several times, he stopped in front of Eric
“Forget it. It’s all my fault!” He sighed deeply. “It was me who forced you to marry her. I know you resent it. Looking at it now, you’re not really suited for Abby. Since you prefer Nicole, why don’t you just divorce Abby?
“Anyway, I no longer want you. You’re a useless grandson, After the divorce, you can sever all ties w
⠀⠀ granddaughter, and I’ll find her a kind and caring husband!”
Eric was speechless. He wondered if Derrick really was his biological grandfather.
He jumped up from the couch, enraged. “You wish!”
with the Gomez family, From now on, Abby will be my
It was unclear whether he was referring to not divorcing Abigail or not severing ties with Derrick. But it definitely wasn’t about agreeing to let Derrick find another husband for Abby.
At this moment, Abigail was unaware of any of this and had no intention of inquiring about it. She was busy investigating the details of her corneal donor.
Her eyes had been worsening, with more frequent attacks and more extended periods of blindness.
She was terrified that if this dragged on, she might not have the chance to undergo surgery in time, even if she found the donor.
Lucky, money could work miracles, and with a generous reward, she finally discovered that the comel donor was a nine–year–old boy
His mother worked as a service staff member and moonlighted as a waitress at a banquet in the evening
Abigail planned to attend the banquet that night to try to meet the boy’s mother, Nami Thompson. She wanted to find out why they had changed their minds and see if she could persuade them to donate the conses to her.
Though the chances were slim, she wanted to try.
At 8:00 pm, Abigail appeared at the banquet, wearing a fishtail dress. Unfortunately, she ran into Nicole and Reese before Finding Nemi
Reese Lowe, the heiress of the Lowe family, had often been compared to Abigail before the Reed family fell on hard times.
Yet, whether it was beauty, upbringing, talent, or knowledge, Reese couldn’t match Abigall. This had led Reese to harbor a deep grudge, and whenever the two were in the same place, they would inevitably clash
After the Reed family’s downfall, Erie saved Abigail and, by a twist of fate, she became Mrs, Gomez. She stopped attending many social events and focused instead on being a good housewife
This left Reese, who had been waiting to mock Abigail, with no opportunity. She had been itching to confront her.
Finally, seeing Abigail at the banquet, she wasted no time and approached her.
“Oh, look who it is! Isn’t this the daughter of that unscrupus quack, Connor Beed? The once–prominent heiress of the Reed family, the so–called excellent socialite, Abigail Reed?”
Reese was sarcastic. “I never thought you would have the nerve to show up. Your father committed so many wicked acts, and I thought you would be too ashamed to live and would die with him. But here you are, so thick skinned, still breathing! How’s life? Does your conscience burt?
Having clashed with Reese for years, Abigail knew all too well how she operated. The more one paid attention to her, the more she thrived, relentlessly pestering them.
Abigail had no time for such pointless exchanges. She was there for business, not to argue. So, she ignored Reese, acting as though Reese was irrelevant, and turned to continue searching for Naomi
But, of course, there was always someone who refused to let things go.
“Ms. Lowe, you shouldn’t speak like that about Ms. Reed” Nicole suddenly appeared from somewhere, seemingly coming to Abigail’s defense. “Ms. Reed isn’t responsible for what her father did. After all, one who doesn’t low is not guilty, and judging her for things she might not even know about is
unfair”
After her saintly speech, she turned to Abigail, smiling “Ms. Heed, I assume you came here to look for Eric? But you might want to turn back now; he’s not here tonight.
“You suddenly disappeared at the amusement park the other day, and it seems he was upset with you. If you want to apologize, I can pass on the message for you.”
Abigail looked at Nicole’s innocent face and felt disgusted
“Nicole, who do you think you are? Eric is my husband. Whatever I have to say to him, it’s not your business nor your place to deliver messages!
– “What’s the rush? We haven’t even divorced yet, and you’re already so eager to announce to the world that you’ve been covering the position of his wife for a long time. You inseriered in our marriage, sowed discord between us, and forced me to ask for divorce from my husband just to fulfill your so–called
love
“Most mistresses hide in the shadows, afraid of being exposed. But not you you’re bold enough to flaunt it in front of everyone. You must be the most shameless mistress in history!”
