Chapter 92
Abigail didn’t like this scene. But back then, when Daniellä saw her being bullied, she’d only expected Abigail to be hurt more. Abigail cekuld never be like
Daniella.
“Forget it. Don’t let her tuin our mood,” Abigail said calmly, her expression indifferent.
Sebastian smiled. He stared at Christian, who was literally stoned, and said, “Heard that? Get out.” James immediately stepped in to shove them out.
Before leaving. Daniella turned to look at Abigail with resentment. Abigail stood beside Sebastian, still cold–faced, not needing to fawn over him like Daniella had to. She could just be herself. The huge emotional gap made Daniella stagger.
Abigail was truly no longer the orphan who’d begged for mercy and been ignored by everyone. She was equal to Sebastian now, and he’d even stepped in for her without her needing to please him.
As they exited the room, Daniella heard Sebastian say, “Oh, and by the way, Halden Group’s industry–wide blacklisting of you was my plan.” So it wasn’t Abigail who’d been cruel to her–it was Sebastian. He’d personally ensured Daniella could never work again.

James burst into laughter. “Abby, you’ve got terrible luck.”
She was terrible at cards, losing several times and downing multiple glasses of wine. Her cheeks grew flushed, and her mind grew hazy.
Abigail turned to look at Sebastian. “I’ve lost a lot.” The stakes were high–three thousand dollars per round–and she’d already lost nearly thirty thousand dollars, all of which was Sebastian’s money.
