Leon shot Patrick a look. “What, you’ve never done that?”
Patrick didn’t answer. He just gave a sheepish smile.
The firewall issue wasn’t anything new. They’d tried finding outside help before, but none of it worked
Timothy made the call. “Have Abigail come see me tomorrow.”||
Leon asked, “What do we do now?”
“We’re done for the day, Timothy said.
Technically, the firewall still needed testing, but Timothy didn’t fully trust Abigail yet. He decided to wait until tomorrow to ask her directly before testing
- it.
Abigail had no idea that just because she couldn’t stand by and do nothing lending a quick hand ended up dragging the manager into it.
She was on her way back to Gibson Villa. As soon as the car stopped, Abigail got out and headed straight to the villa where Wyatt was staying Just then, she saw Bianca walking out
“How’s Grandpa doing?” Abigail asked.
Blanca looked a little anxious when she saw her. “Abby, where were you today? Stevie said you found a job. Can you tell me what it s7′′
Abigail stepped back, avoiding t the hand Bianca had reached out. “I’m here to see Grandpa.”
She just stared at Bianca. To Abigail, her job had nothing to do with the Gibson family. She wasn’t here to go back to them. She was just here to check on
Wyatt
Bianca looked a little hurt. She bit her lip but kept her voice gentle. “Abby, your grandfather just fell asleep. How about seeing him tomorrow?”
Abigail felt a little let down, but she didn’t want to wake Wyatt either, “Really?”
Abigail looked at Bianca, her eyes–so similar to Bianca’s–holding a touch of seriousness. It reminded Blanca of when Abigail first came back, how Abigail used to look at her with soft, trusting eyes
Bianca’s heart melted, and her voice got even gentler. “Really. I wouldn’t lie to you.”
Abigail nodded. “Thank you, Mrs. Gibson.”
No matter what, since Blanca was willing to let her see Wyatt, Abigail fait she should at least say thank you, But the way Abigail called her “Mr. Gibson” made Bianca’s eyes instantly well up with tears,
“Abby, are you still mad at me?” Blanca asked.
Abigail didn’t want to keep going in circles on a question with no answer. She no longer saw the Gibson family as her own. To put it plainly, if it weren’t for Wyatt, she wouldn’t have stepped foot inside dibson Villa again–not even once.
That was why she would never call Blanca “Mo” again. It wasn’t out of resentment. Abigail just didn’t see them as her family anymore.
“I’m heading back to my room Abigail ignored Bianca’s question and turned to leave.
Hallway there, a car drove up and stopped directly in front of her, blocking her path.

Chapter 304
The door opened, and Daniella got out, walking up to Bianca with cheerful steps. The moment she saw Bianca’s teary eyes, her expression. “Mom, why am your eyes all red?” Daniella äsked,
Then Daniella turned to Abigail “Abby, did you upset Morn again!”
Stephen had just gotten out of the car and immediately frowned at Abigail when he heard that “What did you say to Mont this time? Abigail, what are you trying to do?”
Daniella bit her lip. “Abby, if it’s because of me, then I’m sorry. If you’ve got a problem, take it out one. Don’t say anything that make Mom upset again.
“You have no idea how many times she’s cried because of you. I don’t want to see bar cry anymore!”
Her words moved Blanca so much she could barely hold back her emotions. “Dan, this has nothing to do with you. It’s me who let Abby down,” Blanca explained.
“No, Mom, it’s because of me,” Daniella said.
The two of them kept pushing the blame onto themselves, full of mother daughter affection
if this had been before, Abigail might’ve felt hurt watching this. But now, all she felt was irony.
“As long as I get to see Grandpa, I’ll leave right after.” Abigail’s voice was calm, but the seriousness behind it made Stephen furious.
“What, are you trying to threaten us?” Stephen snapped. “Tine, go. Just don’t come back once you leave.”
Abigail nodded. “Okay. I went to see Grandpa.”
Daniella’s eyes flickered, and her voice came out soft and pitiful “Abby, I know you want to see Grandpa, but you can’t say things like that, it really hurts Mom. What if Grandpa hears and thinks we’re trying to kick you out on purpose?”
Stephen gritted his teeth. “You’re so manipulative, Abigail,” He’d almost agreed to let her see Wyatt just now
“Grandpa isn’t feeling well. He can’t have visitors” Stephen’s eyes were filled with spite. He thought, “She wants to see him? I’ll make sure she can
Abigail stared coldly at Daniella and thought, ‘She’s the
who wants me gone the most. So what’s this act now?
She didn’t believe for a second that Daniella had grown a conscience. Her thoughts quickly ran through the real reason, and then landed on the engagement.
is to take my place in that engagement, she’ll need both Grandpa and Ralph’s grandfather to agree. Is she scared
Abigail mused, “No wonder, if she wants to that Grandpa won’t approve?”
Abigail took a deep breath, forcing down her anger. She knew she wouldn’t get to see
Wyatt today.
Without another word, she turned and left. Daniella watched her walk away, smugness flashing in her eyes even as her voice stayed soft and disappointed. “Mom, is Abby mad at me?”
Bianca wrapped an arm around Daniella, gently comforting her, saying, “No, honey, One day, Abby will understand how k
Stephen let out a cold snort. “And what right does the have to be mad at Dani? Ever since she came back, has this house had one peaceful day?”
Blanca felt uneasy listening to Stephen complaid and finally spoke up. “Stevie, Abby is your biological sister. How can you say something like that about her?”
