Chapter 192
"You have a point. Alright, you'll stay here to protect my woman while I head out for a while. However, don't tell her where I'm going. Got it?"
Benjamin hurriedly nodded in agreement. "Yes, Mr. Buckley. I'll never tell Miss Abigail about it. Even if she asks me, I'll just say that you've headed out for a jogging session."
"You're clever indeed." Greg was satisfied with his assistant.
After putting on his clothes, Greg picked up his car key and left the house. His wound had become less painful upon Abigail's treatment—perhaps this was the power of love. With a smirk, Greg drove the car away from the house. Meanwhile, Abigail wasn't aware of his whereabouts as she headed straight to Genevieve's room. Upon receiving Greg's order, Benjamin quickly searched for Abigail.
After a night's rest, the woman had become more energetic. On the other hand, Genevieve lost all her vigor after being tortured the entire night, and her face was horrendously pale. Her clothes were soaked in sweat as they stuck to her skin, making her feel uncomfortable.
She wanted to yell at Abigail in exasperation the moment she saw her, but Genevieve didn't have the strength to do so. "You'll die a horrible death, Abigail. You'd better kill me, or I will—" she screamed all of a sudden.
Before she could finish her words, Abigail directly landed a kick on her chest and sent her flying away.
Upon impact, Genevieve sprayed out a mouthful of blood. Benjamin happened to witness this when he arrived, and he shuddered while looking sympathetically at Genevieve. At the same time, he grew afraid of Abigail. This woman doesn't look like a nice person.
While he was in his thoughts, he saw Abigail stepping on the back of Genevieve's hand, causing the latter to wail in pain.
Abigail then said with a sneer, "How dare you harm my man without my permission? Consider yourself lucky that I haven't broken both of your hands yet. It seems like the fact that I've always ignored you is giving you the illusion that you're able to harm the people around me. Are you still not willing to apologize to Amy via livestream? In that case, you'll also lose your other hand. Both of us are experts in medicine, so you should know that after a certain period of time, the broken bones in your hand will never heal properly if left untreated. Do you want to give it a try?"
The present Abigail was in stark contrast to how bashful she had been when she left the room earlier. Simply put, her demeanor changed significantly since Greg wasn't around. As Benjamin watched everything unfold, he frowned without saying a word. After all, he knew what his duties were. Greg had told him to protect Abigail; as for whether Genevieve would be killed, he didn't dare to interfere without the man's order. However, he was still surprised by Abigail's ruthlessness.
Upon hearing Abigail's words, Genevieve became startled for a moment before she yelled, "How dare you!"
Instead of responding, Abigail exerted more force with her foot. Instantly, the sound of bones cracking was heard as Genevieve almost passed out in agony.
"I'll give you three seconds to decide whether you'll apologize on livestream. One! Two!"
"I'll agree to it!" Even though Genevieve was unwilling to give in, the pain of her bones breaking was too excruciating to bear. Coupled with the fact that Abigail didn't seem to be joking, she subconsciously agreed to it. So what if she was utterly embarrassed and unresigned now? As long as she could leave this place alive, she believed that she could easily destroy Abigail by leveraging her family's power.
Abigail was certainly aware of the evil thoughts going through Genevieve's mind, but she didn't care about it. Upon fishing out a phone, she started a livestream and turned the screen to Genevieve. "Apologize now!"
Genevieve was startled for a moment, and upon seeing that it was her own channel, she became hysterical. "Why do you have the password to my account? How did you find out that I'm a livestreamer?"
No one else knew that Genevieve was an amateur livestreamer on TikTok with more than 100,000 followers. Initially, she thought that the woman wanted her to apologize on Abigail's or Amy's channel, which wasn't too embarrassing as they probably didn't have many fans. However, when she realized that it was her own channel, she almost went mad. Why is this happening? I've never told anyone my password. How did Abigail find out?
Abigail said with a sneer, "Do you think I randomly wanted you to apologize to me on a livestream earlier on? If I hadn't found out how many followers you had, I wouldn't have made such a demand. Did you leave your brain at home or something?"
A myriad of expressions came over Genevieve as she was unresigned at her mockery. "You stole my account. I'll sue you for this!"
"Whatever. Before that happens, apologize now!"
Since Genevieve's livestream had started, an increasing number of her followers came online to watch her.
Abigail uttered in a small voice, "Tell them what you've done and apologize to Amy. Otherwise, I have many ways to make life a living hell for you. You should know that even if your father arrives at the red- light district, he might not be able to bring you away, let alone make sure that you're alive and kicking. Why don't we make a bet?"
In contrast to Abigail's nonchalance, Genevieve was horrified. If she were still Greg's woman, she wouldn't have been afraid of Abigail's threat. However, after what had happened the previous night, she finally realized that Greg had walked out of her life for good. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
The fact that Greg had wooed her for ten years felt more like a dream now. In order to please Abigail, he didn't care whether Genevieve was dead or alive. Just like what Abigail had said, even though Genevieve's father was powerful, he was unable to make sure that his daughter was healthy and brought away from Greg's territory. Moreover, he might not even be aware that Genevieve was in the red-light district now.
Who would've thought that Greg, who had been madly in love with Genevieve for ten years, could be so merciless when he stopped loving?
A resentful Genevieve glared at Abigail and said, "Quit looking so smug. Everything I'm going through today will also befall you soon. Do you think you're special to Greg? Do you know why he went out to drink? I heard it was because he found out that you cheated on him, so he became agitated. You'll only end up in a more horrible state, Abigail."
"That's none of your business. Start your show now."
Despite the smile on her face, Abigail was secretly shocked. I cheated on Greg? Why did she say that? Is it because of Hugh? However, Greg is aware of my attitude toward that guy. I might have attracted another man's attention, but it doesn't mean that I'm cheating on my spouse.
After going through all that had happened, she didn't think she had cheated on Greg in any way. Therefore, she thought that Genevieve was in so much pain that she started spouting nonsense to irritate her.
Even though Greg was arrogant, he never bothered to tell a lie. She had asked him why he went out to drink previously, and he explained to her that it was indeed because of Hugh. Naturally, Abigail trusted
Greg instead of Genevieve. Upon that realization, she stopped feeling bothered and turned the phone's screen to Genevieve.
Presently, Genevieve was forced to expose what she had done to Amy as Abigail threatened her with her gaze. In the end, she also had to apologize to Amy. Her fans were all dumbfounded at first, but they started scolding and unfollowing her. It had taken her a long time to amass so many followers, but it took only a short moment to lose it all. It was at this moment that she knew her reputation had been ruined. She glared at Abigail resentfully for what the latter had done to her on this day, and she secretly swore that as long as she survived, she would get even with her one day.
Unperturbed by her glare, Abigail recorded the livestream and started pulling out the silver needles from her body. In a matter of seconds, Genevieve fell on her bottom and gasped for air. The pain that had tortured her for the entire night was finally gone, but she was so exhausted that she was about to pass out.
However, Genevieve's condition didn't matter to Abigail as she shuffled out of the room with her phone.
"Ma'am, how should we handle Miss Leynthall?"
Benjamin was aware that Greg wanted to help get the fury out of Abigail's chest, so she had a right to determine whether Genevieve would live or die. Abigail became startled for a moment before uttering dispassionately, "Throw her onto the street. Someone will bring her home."
"Alright," Benjamin uttered respectfully, but he was terrified deep within. What a ruthless woman. Not only has she destroyed Genevieve's reputation online, she also wants to throw her onto the street and let everyone see how battered she is. That will be embarrassing for the Leynthall Family. She is truly brazen!
However, when he thought about the fact that she had Greg's support, he became disdainful of Abigail. Even though Greg was indeed powerful, he was still at a disadvantage when dealing with the authorities. Abigail was creating trouble for Greg just because he doted on her, and that wasn't very considerate of her.
Even though his disdainful expression was only temporary, Abigail could easily capture it. She knew that she was still an outsider to Greg's men, and they only called her 'Ma'am' because they were respectful of Greg. Despite knowing that her decision would likely invite trouble to Greg, it didn't bother her one bit.
Although Genevieve made use of her family's power to oppress Abigail and Amy, Abigail wasn't someone who wouldn't get even with the people who had harmed her before.
"By the way, where's Greg?" She became curious as she had been downstairs for quite some time, but Greg still hadn't appeared.
Benjamin replied gently, "Mr. Buckley has gone jogging. He'll be back soon. What do you want for breakfast, Ma'am? I'll get someone to make it for you."
"There's no need for that. We'll head out for breakfast when Greg returns. I'm tired, so I'll get some rest in my room. You don't have to follow me around."
Upon hearing that, Benjamin merely nodded but followed her nonetheless. After she stepped into the room, he still stood guard beside the door as usual. Even though Abigail was frustrated at that, she didn't stop him.
After closing the door, she shuffled toward the table and gently pressed a button on the bracelet on her wrist. Following that, a 3D virtual computer screen and keyboard were cast on the wall. If a professional hacker was around, they would recognize the 3D virtual computer that any hacker would bring
anywhere with them. As she keyed in some instructions, codes rapidly flashed through the screen. Soon, Abigail successfully invaded the security system of the Leynthall Family.
