Not One, But Two!

Chapter 186

Genevieve!

Greg wished for nothing more than to crush Genevieve to death at this moment.

If he had known earlier on what Genevieve had done to Abigail, he wouldn't have simply thrown her out of the window and let her go so easily like that.

F*ck!

Greg's friendly feelings toward her out of consideration for their friendship since childhood had completely disappeared by now.

This woman was just too greedy. He had warned her many times, but she always thought highly of herself and kept hurting the people he cared about, so he was not going to let her go easily now.

Looking at the time, Greg realized that it was already 5.00 AM. The early risers should be out on the streets by now, but what did it matter?

The things he wanted to do could not wait for even a minute.

With that, he called Troy. "How is Amy?"

Troy had been worried sick over on his side, so he was relieved when he saw Greg's call. He quickly said, "She's out of danger, but her lungs have been damaged and need to be properly treated. The doctor even said that she may have a persistent cough in the future. When the weather isn't good, she might suffer from severe coughing fits."

Speaking of this, Troy was also quite sad. It was really distressing to see how a normal girl had ended up like this.

"Mr. Buckley, what's the matter with Amy? Her injury—"

"Arrange for someone to look after her with the best care possible. Then, find someone to kidnap Genevieve and throw her into the red light district."

The corner of Greg's lips raised into a cold smile. He would make Genevieve experience how she treated Abigail.

Troy thought he had heard it wrongly and asked, "Mr. Buckley, who are you talking about? Genevieve Leynthall? Are you sure?"

"If your ears don't work, I can cut them off for you."

After speaking, Greg hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Troy had heard the killing intent from Greg's tone.

Mr. Buckley actually wants to kill Genevieve? Isn't Genevieve Mr. Buckley's old flame, though? Even if he is with Dr. Kain now, how can their childhood friendship of more than ten years be wiped away just like that?

Troy didn't know what was going on, but he was afraid that Greg would regret it, so he quickly called him back.

"Mr. Buckley, what did Miss Leynthall do to make you so angry?"

"Since when did you have the authority to ask me about my affairs?"

Greg was already in a bad mood to begin with, but upon sensing as though Troy was protecting Genevieve, he suddenly became furious.

However, Troy had been with Greg for many years; since he knew Greg's temper quite well, he continued to say, "Mr. Buckley, I'm aware of the relationship between you and Miss Leynthall. Have you guys misunderstood each other? Why don't I—"

"From today onward, you don't need to assist me anymore other than company matters."

Greg didn't wait for Troy to finish his words before he interrupted the man. Upon hearing that, Troy was stunned.

"Mr. Buckley, you don't want me anymore?" He panicked, not knowing what he had done wrong.

Greg said flatly, "I don't need a personal assistant who questions my decisions."

Troy was immediately aggrieved.

"Mr. Buckley, I'm sure that you're aware of how many years I've been with you. From our teenage years to where we are right now, we've gone through so much together. Do you not want me anymore just because I'm stating the truth? Is it because of Dr. Kain? Mr. Buckley, let me say something. It won't be what you want to hear, but honestly, you've been with Miss Leynthall for ten years. Just how long have you been with Dr. Kain? Even if you like her, you can't ruin your relationship with Miss Leynthall because of that woman. The Leynthall Family's power in Harrison is incomparable and much more useful compared to Dr. Kain. If our identities hadn't been protected by Miss Leynthall over the years, we would've met with a lot of trouble. Even if Miss Leynthall likes Cody Kottler, she was just a young girl when she first got together with you. Moreover, you're her only man. However, what about Dr. Kain? You don't know how many men she has been tainted by, so why would you treat such used goods as treasure?"

His words instantly made Greg fly into a rage.

"You peeked at my files?"

"I only did it for your sake." Troy knew that he had done something wrong, but he was afraid that Greg would be led astray by Abigail.

Previously, he thought that Abigail and Greg were a pretty good pair, but when Greg had asked him to check Abigail's information regarding Hitman Island, he had a trace of dissatisfaction and suspicion toward Abigail.

Hitman Island?

If Abigail came from Hitman Island, he naturally knew something about her background. After all, he and Greg had been to that place, so they knew what it was like.

What Greg needed was not a tarnished woman.

Hence, when Greg was stabbed in the clubhouse and Abigail had called him, he secretly checked the files. Naturally, he understood the reason why Greg had gone to the boxing gym in distress.

He felt sorry for Greg then—why would he hurt himself for such a woman?

Given the circumstances, Troy really felt that even if Genevieve was a little pampered and self-willed, she would be better than the tarnished Abigail.

Meanwhile, Greg's face turned ugly when he heard what Troy said.

He knew that Troy had been with him for a long time, and he was not much different from his own brother. However, Troy had stepped on Greg's minefield this time, and the latter was incredibly incensed.

"You have overstepped your boundaries, Troy."

Greg's voice was not loud, but Troy could hear it clearly.

"My personal affairs are not up for you to decide, not to mention that you don't listen to my orders these days. As such, it's really not suitable for you to stay by my side any longer. Go to the disciplinary hall to receive punishment before you head to the northern subdivision and begin work there."

After Greg finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Greg was also a little reluctant to leave Troy. After all, Troy was like a brother to him for more than ten years. He still remembered how he had picked up Troy on the streets at the age of 12. Now that more than ten years had passed, Troy was his closest confidant. However, Troy had forgotten his boundaries, and he had seen Abigail's most private and awful information.

He was afraid that Troy would do something to Abigail or the children in an attempt to protect him, so transferring his assistant away was the best choice. Nonetheless, Greg thought that he could always bring Troy back once the latter came back to his senses.

However, this thought did not occur to Troy.

He was stunned; listening to the busy tone of the phone, he felt his mind go blank.

Mr. Buckley doesn't want me anymore? After going through so much with him for more than ten years, he no longer wants me because of that woman?

The disciplinary hall was a place he had never been to since he was a child, yet he was going there to receive punishment right now. All of this was because of that woman named Abigail Kain!

She's indeed a curse! In fact, she probably asked Mr. Buckley to send me away. Otherwise, how could Mr. Buckley be willing to let me go?

Troy's face was pale, and he increasingly felt that Abigail brought bad luck. The way he saw it, Abigail didn't deserve to stay by Greg's side.

Although Greg felt slightly sad after coming to this decision, he knew that there was always a price to be paid for doing something wrong.

Troy had messed with his files, so he had to correct this behavior. Even if it was for Greg's own good, Troy shouldn't be so disobedient. If he touched Abigail's files today, he might touch other confidential files tomorrow. Most importantly, his attitude toward Abigail was unacceptable, and he didn't want Abigail to feel unhappy anymore.

Soon, Greg chose a dutiful man named Benjamin Wallis from his men to become his new personal assistant.

Benjamin had been in the company for less than two years. Although his performance wasn't stellar, he was very loyal and knew his place.

Greg posted the news in the management group early that morning, asking Benjamin to temporarily replace Troy's position as his assistant. He wanted Benjamin to immediately come to Allie's Garden to report to him.

Upon seeing the news, Benjamin was stunned.

He was woken up by the big boss from his sleep and had no idea what was going on. At this moment, the feeling of shooting to the moon while riding a rocket made him think that he was still dreaming.

"Mr. Buckley, are you being for real?"

"Go and drag Genevieve to the red-light district. Once you're done with that, come to Allie's Garden and report to me."

Greg didn't explain anything and hung up the phone after giving out his orders.

For some reason, the news about Troy being replaced and sent to the disciplinary hall for punishment spread all over the management's group chat in no time.

'What's the matter? What did Troy do wrong?'

Several management staff sent a few inquiries, but Greg did not answer them at all. As for Troy, his hands were tightly clasped together, and there was a hint of redness in his eyes.

Mr. Buckley actually issued such a notice directly in the management group! Also, who even is this guy named Benjamin Wallis? He's merely a newcomer who has only been in the company for two years! How can he actually take my place as an assistant in the Buckley Group and the Night Assassino? Maybe this is what Abigail wants. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Troy thought about whether he had ever offended Abigail, but he felt that he hadn't done anything wrong other than his surname being Adams. He merely said a few bad things about her in front of Greg just now, but that was also the truth.

He didn't believe that Greg would blame him for his directness. The only possibility was that Abigail had heard his words just now, so she had taken this opportunity to take revenge and confound Greg.

Troy blamed Abigail for everything, and he quickly became more hostile and dissatisfied with her.

He switched off all the management group's messages, put on his clothes, and went to the disciplinary hall to receive his punishment. Nevertheless, he swore to always remember this.

Let's wait and see, Abigail! I won't let you hurt Mr. Buckley.

There was hatred for Abigail in Troy's eyes. Soon, Benjamin took over Troy's position hastily.

Troy was Greg's special assistant, and everyone knew this clearly. After all, he had been in this position for more than ten years. Seeing Troy was like seeing Greg, but now that Benjamin was in this position, his new identity was still unfamiliar to many others although the staff in the management group knew about this.

When Benjamin dispatched people to take Genevieve, those people didn't listen to him at all.

Greg hadn't thought this through clearly, so after hanging up the phone, he went to the bedroom.

Seeing Abigail sleeping soundly, the fury in his heart subsided little by little.

If Troy hadn't mentioned the issue of the Hitman Island files, he wouldn't have remembered it. Now, seeing Abigail's tired appearance and thinking of his own anxiety when something happened to Abigail, Greg suddenly felt like a weight had been taken off his heart.

Who cared if Abigail once did something bad? She was just a weak woman.

It wasn't like she wanted to be kidnapped on the island and trained to be a hitman. Those cruel and ruthless people had no humanity at all. No matter what they did to Abigail, how could she resist?

In fact, she was probably pregnant at the time.

Under such difficult conditions, she had to protect herself and the children in her belly. What else could she do other than compromise? At that time, where was her man and the father of the children?

When Abigail needed him the most, he didn't show up. What right did he have to blame her for everything she had to do back then?
