Chapter 8

Stephen’s expression shifted, though deep down he still felt furious. “Mom, Abigail did it on purpose. It’s not like she can’t talk. Couldn’t she just ask?”

“Stevie, we’re the ones who let Abby down.” Bianca’s eyes were full of sorrow. She opened her mouth like she wanted to say more.

Abigail lowered her gaze, acting like she hadn’t see

a thing. She had no use for late apologies, especially the kind that felt like crocodile tears.

“I’m going to my room.” With that, she turned and

headed back to the maid’s room.

The next morning, as soon as Abigail came downstairs, she heard Daniella’s sweet voice. “Abby, did you sleep well last night?”

Daniella was walking down from the upper floor, her gaze landing squarely on Abigail, laced with undisguised malice. “You looked like you did. I mean, even a servant’s room has to be much better than a prison cell,

pight?”

Abigail stepped out of her room and closed the door behind her. She had, in fact, slept quite well–peacefully, even.

Because of that, she had no interest in starting the day arguing with Daniella. If Abigail had time, she’d rather go visit Wyatt.

“Abigail, stop right there.” Daniella rushed after her. Abigail’s indifference made her feel completely ignored and humiliated.

As she stared at Abigail’s back, Daniella’s eyes turned vicious. Daniella thought, ‘After three years in prison, she still has the nerve to come back. I won’t allow it. Everything in the Gibson family belongs to me.‘

But Abigail completely blocked out the noise behind her. Her eyes were fixed on the house just one villa away–that was where the person she cared about most lived.

She picked up her pace. Just as she reached the gate, some servants stopped her.

“I’m Abigail Gibson. My grandfather lives here. Are you sure you want to stop me?” Abigail asked. She had a feeling these servants knew exactly who she

was.

The servants exchanged looks. One of them spoke up, “Ms. Abigail Gibson, Mr. Stephen Gibson gave strict instructions–no one else is allowed inside without his permission.”

Daniella walked over and gently explained, pretending to be considerate, “Abby, Grandpa isn’t doing well. Stevie gave the order to keep visitors away so Grandpa can rest. These servants are just following instructions. You don’t have to make it hard for them,”

The servants quickly said, “Ms. Daniella Gibson, are you here to see Mr. Wyatt Gibson too? Mr. Stephen Gibson said you can go right in if you want to visit your grandfather.”

Daniella smiled faintly. She stepped closer to Abigail, lowering her voice. “I can let you see Grandpa. All you have to do is to promise me one thing.”

“What do you want?” Abigail looked up, her eyes brooding, like they could see straight through Daniella.

Daniella looked away in a panic. She caught sight of someone approaching and suddenly leaned in closer, her voice barely audible. “I want you to leave the Gibson family and never come back.”

Abigail didn’t even need to think. She was ready to refuse. She didn’t care about the Gibson family. But Wyatt was here–she couldn’t walk away. Suddenly, Daniella let out a sharp scream and stumbled back. Abigail instinctively wanted to grab her. But just as Abigail reached out, a furious voice shouted, “Abigail, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Stevie, it’s not Abby’s fault,” Daniella said quickly, supported by the rushing servants.

Stephen looked at Daniella, her face pale with fear. He thought, ‘Dani can barely keep her balance, yet she’s still trying to defend Abigail–while Abigail’s

out here acting like a menace, trying to shove her.‘

“She just tried to hurt you. How is that not her fault?” Stephen turned to Abigail. “Abigail, do you have anything to say for yourself?”

He shot Abigail a sharp glare, then rushed to Daniella’s side, checking her over anxiously.
