Abigail closed the email, stunned by the severity of Halden Group’s punishment for Daniella.
Just then, Leon approached and whispered, “I asked Mr. Newman if he pushed for the industry blacklist. He said it was Mr. Robinson’s call.”
Abigail frowned, “But this is Halden Group’s internal affairs. Why did he get involved?”
Leon shrugged. “Who knows? Maybe he is protecting his investment in this joint project.”
Whatever Sebastian’s motives, Abigail was grateful. With that blacklist, no company would dare hire Daniella.
Not long after receiving the email, Abigail’s phone rang. It was Gabriel. She didn’t answer. But soon, the calls started pouring. Bianca and Stephen also kept calling her.
Facing relentless calls, Abigail finally answered.
“Come home after work.” Gabriel threatened. “If you don’t, you’ll regret it.” With that, he hung up.
Abigail stared at her phone, lips curling into a mocking smirk.
Abigail waited until after dinner before returning to Gibson Villa. The moment she stepped inside, the oppressive silence hit her like a physical blow.
It reminded her of that years ago, when Daniella had killed someone with her car, and the house had felt exactly like this. Back then, this kind of tension had terrified Abigail for months in prison.
“Abigail.” Gabriel’s voice cut through the stillness. He stormed over the second he heard her footsteps, shouting without even hearing her side. “I never thought you could be so vicious!”
Right after he finished, Abigail heard Daniella wailing loudly from the living room. “Abby, if you resented me for taking your place as the Gibson family’s heiress, you could’ve just said so.
“But why did you team up with Halden Group’s R&D staff to smear me and ruin my career?”
Abigail studied Daniella’s tear–streaked face with detached amusement. “Has anyone ever told you that your true talent isn’t in design but in acting?”
“How can you make such sarcastic remarks? Dani is suffering like this.” Gabriel grabbed Abigail by the collar, dragging her forward. “You must clear her name with Halden Group! Tell them she had nothing to do with those rumors. Or else…”
“Or else what?” Abigail met his glare. “You’ll ban me from seeing my grandpa or beat me to death right here?”
Gabe glad at Abegait. His face turned livid with sage, his words failing him. Daniella, his meticulously cultivated heiress, now faced an industry–wide bak, it meant that everyone in high society would know what she had done.
With her reputation in tatters, the fletcher family would definitely no longer consider a manage alliance with the Gibson family. What was worse, other Families vrould shun the Gibson family like plague carriers.
Gabriel wanted to beat Abagail op. Because of her, bus proudest daughter had become a blacklisted name in the industry, and his dream partnership with 1. Balden Greeplay in ashes.
