The old Abigail would never have spoken like this.
Aunt Claudia's hand shook violently as she held Abigail's. "It's not worth it, Abigail... it's not worth it for me."
Over the years, Claudia watched as Abigail grew from a lively and adorable child to a timid and self-deprecating girl who barely dared to speak, which filled her heart with pain and sorrow.
When Abigail said she would sue Jackson Taylor for intentional injury, Aunt Claudia's heart warmed.
But still, she shook her head.
Today, the entire Green family was dominated by the Taylor mother and daughter. With Lincoln Green trusting them blindly, and Ruby Green was set to be engaged to the second young master of the Piers, in two months.
That was an incredibly illustrious family—crushing Abigail would be as easy for Ruby as killing an ant once she aligned herself with them.
If they dared to sue Jackson now, it was like seeking their own destruction.
