Ruby Green was frightened by Lincoln Green's gaze. Rose Taylor immediately sat down and took her husband's arm. "Ruby was just too surprised and didn't recognize Abigail. You know how much respect Ruby has for her sister all these years."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Lincoln Green to speak and scolded Ruby Green, "Hurry up and apologize to your sister."
"Sorry, Abigail. It's my fault I didn't recognize you just now and misspoke." Ruby Green had been caught off guard by Abigail, which caused her to lose her composure. Now, seeing her mother trying to mediate for her, she quickly apologized. Her head lowered, and her pretty face was full of guilt and self-reproach, showing a sincere attitude.
Sure enough, Lincoln Green's gaze softened. Thinking about Ruby Green's usual obedient and sensible behavior, he believed she really didn't recognize Abigail. Moreover, with Brandon Piers present, he waved his hand. "Come over and greet Mr. Piers."
"Mr. Piers." When she looked up again, Ruby Green's eyes were full of deep emotion, and her voice calling Mr. Piers was tender and lingering.
Abigail felt goosebumps all over, glancing playfully at the handsome man on the sofa who had been watching the show all along.
Brandon Piers sensed the different gazes of the two women. He elegantly stood up. "Boss Green, let's settle it like this. Is there any problem with the engagement on June 23rd?"
"No, no." Lincoln Green quickly stood up as well. Although having an illegitimate child was disgraceful, what did that shame matter compared to climbing up to a century-old wealthy family like the Piers? Besides, the other party had personally come to propose.
"You're too polite, Boss Green." Brandon Piers responded indifferently. He had the air of a refined gentleman, complemented by his handsome face like that of a monster. Even looking at him for an extra second made others afraid of tarnishing him.
Rose Taylor still wanted to invite Brandon Piers to dine at Green's Mansion. Being politely declined, she hurriedly asked Ruby Green to help send him off. But when she turned her back on Lincoln Green, she gave Abigail a fierce glare.
Abigail shrugged indifferently. Her gaze fell on the tall and graceful back. Ruby Green would be engaged to Brandon Piers in two months?
It seemed she had to do something.
With a plan in mind, a smile flashed in Abigail's eyes. She turned and went upstairs.
Following the memory, Abigail entered Abigail Green's room. It was the room with the worst lighting in the entire villa, situated in the furthest corner. Meanwhile, the room now occupied by Ruby Green was originally Abigail Green's room.
Unfortunately, during the first week that Rose Taylor and her daughter moved in, they induced the original owner to give the room to "guest" Ruby Green, under the pretense that the host should be generous, just for a word of praise for being sensible from her father.
Thus, the cuckoo occupied the magpie's nest.
Abigail inspected the narrow bedroom, which was filled with all sorts of clutter like a storeroom. Only a small one-meter-wide bed in the corner belonged to the original owner.
The light-gray bedsheet and this dark, damp bedroom signified the original owner's bleak, weak, and pitiful life.
An inexplicable tightness and pain gripped her heart. Abigail clutched her chest. "Are you heartbroken?"
No one answered her. Abigail's chest felt even more stuffy. She walked over and opened the curtains, looking at the family of three downstairs seeing off the guest. "Don't worry. I will take back everything that belongs to you."
Brandon Piers sensed a gaze. He turned his head, only to see a narrow window. In the sunlight, no figure was visible, but he was sure that the fat girl named Abigail was standing there.
Thinking of the three times they had met, even though the woman was so fat she was unremarkable, she had a pair of unforgettable peach blossom eyes that were either determined, at ease, or cunning. Extremely symmetrical peach blossom eyes, and those legs, although fat, were extraordinarily well-proportioned.
Hmm, very soothing to his OCD.
Once in the car, Brandon Piers ignored Lincoln Green and the mother-daughter pair's obsequiousness. He closed the window and instructed Pullan, "Go check on the Green family and... Abigail."
Mentioning the name, Brandon Piers felt a slight daze. That legendary, dazzling woman broke many medical records in cardiothoracic surgery but eventually died suddenly on the operating table.
How could he associate her with the fat woman just now? He couldn't help but shake his head.
