'Abby! She found Abby!' Lucas's eyes beamed with excitement. But he quickly hid his euphoria under a pretentious scowl as if he already knew about Abby's hideout.
Valerie wasn't quick enough to catch the thrill in Lucas's eyes at the mention of Abby's name. She just kept on yapping and spilling vital information to Lucas.
"Cousin, I know I should have come clean about Abby and told my dad. But you of all people know how much I've suffered because of Abby's presence in our home. She almost stole my father away from me and I wasn't about to let that happen again."
"Oh please, Valerie," Lucas scoffed. "You know your dad loves you more than Abby. Imagine the reward he would have given you for discovering Abby's hideout."
