Not One, But Two!

Chapter 252

Abigail did not care what Emma thought about this, but she still whispered, "Not only did he not do that, he also agreed to let me visit him. Judging from my relationship with him, he has no reason to see me. Even if he wanted a family member to visit him, he should look for Emma instead of me. Yet, he allowed me to visit him. What does that mean?"

Abigail looked at Greg, whose lips were curled upward.

He smiled and answered, "His new plan must revolve around you."

"What can he scheme against me now, though? If it's because of you, wouldn't it be easier for him to come out and ask me for money? Alternatively, he could even ask you to help him with his comeback under the condition that you've taken care of me. Yet, he didn't do any of that."

Hearing Abigail's words, Emma was at a loss.

Why did her father have to strike a deal for Abigail's upbringing?

She was Philip's daughter, so what deal was there to be made from this?

While Emma was trying to understand the situation, Greg understood what Abigail meant immediately and nodded.

"You're right. Something really doesn't add up here. Well, what are you thinking?"

After listening to everything, he jumped right into the topic.

On the other hand, Abigail did not shy away because of Emma's presence and straightforwardly said, "I suspect that Philip fought under the pretext of letting me see him, which led him to get injured and

hospitalized."

"Why? Dad wouldn't self-harm. Why would he hurt himself like that?"

Emma's questions made Abigail feel a little despondent.

As expected, a fool would always be a fool.

At this moment, Greg looked at her with disdain and said, "Keep quiet."

Although he didn't sound very harsh, Emma did not dare to speak any longer.

When Abigail saw Emma like this, her heart began to ache.

If her assumption was correct, did this mean that she had to support Emma on behalf of Philip?

As soon as Greg noticed that Abigail had a slight frown on her face, he quickly asked, "What are you worried about? If you don't want to help a scum like her, just throw her out. Whether she starves or freezes to death, it has nothing to do with you. Where was your good sister five years ago when you were in danger in a strange country?"

When Emma heard this, she immediately knew what he meant.

Did Abigail feel like Emma was a burden?

Did Greg plan on kicking her out?

Her face turned pale with fright when she thought of these.

"I'll keep quiet now, Abigail. I promise. I won't annoy you anymore. Please don't kick me out."

However, Abigail sighed and ignored Emma as she continued to speak to Greg. "I suspect that this is Philip's way of getting out of prison—by getting himself hospitalized," she said.

This remark immediately scared Emma so much that she slipped off the back seat.

Despise welled up in Greg's eyes when he saw her useless appearance.

"You—"

"I promise I won't say anything."

Before he could even speak, Emma quickly covered her mouth and sat back in her seat pitifully. However, her heart was thumping against her chest.

Escape?

Is Dad trying to escape?!

Abigail's words rang in Emma's head.

What should she do?

What could she do if Philip became a wanted criminal after breaking out of prison?

Her mother was out of the picture, and Abigail did not like her. If he really did escape from prison and became a wanted criminal, what would she do in the future?

Although all these thoughts started making Emma panic, she did not dare to speak out for fear of annoying Greg and Abigail, and they might throw her out.

This was the first time she had felt suppressed like this. It was a horrible feeling.

At that moment, she couldn't help but remember what Greg had said just now. He said that none of her family members helped Abigail when she was struggling five years ago in a foreign country.

Emma, who had been relying on others all her life, could not imagine how Abigail managed to survive all these five years abroad.

She must have hated Emma and the Kain Family, right? This was the reason why Abigail had been so indifferent to her, wasn't it?

However, Abigail was Emma's only family now. If her sister did not care about her well-being, she might really die.

This frightened Emma to tears, but she still didn't make a sound. Instead, she covered her mouth as she sobbed. Her shoulders raised and fell, looking extremely pitiful.

Although Abigail tried her best to ignore Emma, she still inadvertently caught sight of her current appearance in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I won't let you starve to death. However, I also won't let you live like a princess. It's up to you to decide whether you want to stick around. If you don't, hurry up and find a way to get your mother back. After that, go as far away as you can."

Hearing this, Emma nodded.

Greg turned to look at Abigail. Although he was disgusted and indifferent toward Emma, he could tell from what Abigail said that she still cared about Emma's well-being.

As expected, his wife was too kind-hearted.

He ignored Emma and spoke in a low voice. "If you're right, Philip will try to escape within the next two or three days."

"Yeah, but I still can't figure out why he asked me to come here."

Apart from Abigail, even Greg found it a little strange.

If Philip wanted to escape from prison, the fight could still be staged even if she did not visit him, and he still could've been stabbed in the right place while avoiding the vital organs. He must have spent money to orchestrate this and had gotten people to cooperate with him.

Seeing that the Kain Family had just gone bankrupt and how Philip still managed to pay the people from prison to put up this act, Abigail knew that he must have prepared a sum of money for his escape. Therefore, the conjecture of using her to get a sum of money was thrown out the window.

Be it Abigail or Greg, they knew Philip did not have much fondness for her. It did not make sense for him to ask her over just because he was concerned about his daughter.

Abigail and Greg were unable to figure out what was going on.

When he saw the woman's eyebrows knitted tightly together, he also felt a little distressed.

"Alright, that's enough. Stop thinking about it if you can't figure it out. The truth will come out either way, so let's just take things one step at a time. If he has a plan, we will find out about it. There will always be a way."

This was their only choice.

Hence, Abigail nodded slightly and glanced in the direction of Philip's ward again as uneasiness lingered in her.

"What about this? I'll send a few men over to keep an eye on him. If he tries to escape, I will bring him back. By then, all these plans would be useless." Greg really couldn't stand her worried look and suggested a plan.

When Emma heard this, she subconsciously wanted to object to the idea. Before she could even open her mouth, she saw his icy gaze on her, causing her to shrink back quickly and pretend to not exist as much as possible.

Abigail turned a blind eye to what he just did and faintly said, "Forget it. He can run away if he wants to. I don't want to see him living in the slums either. I think I'll feel more at ease if he isn't hanging around me."

"Of course. I'll definitely keep him away from you."

"I don't want you to interfere. Just pretend like you don't know anything. I don't want you to be involved in another lawsuit because of him."

Although she shot him a glare, what she said instantly made him happy.

"Do you care about me?"

"You're my boyfriend. Is it wrong for me to care about you?"

There was absolutely nothing wrong with that!

The corners of his mouth curled upward again.

When Abigail saw Greg's silly appearance, she kicked him.

"Get up, I'll drive."

"Alright."

He did not have any objections about this and quickly changed seats with her.

Emma, who watched Greg constantly doting on Abigail, began to feel overwhelmed again.

She was filled with self-pity.

After all, she was the woman who had gotten heartbroken by her fiance that framed her. Why didn't anyone care about her weak heart?

Of course, she didn't dare to say any of this in front of Abigail and Greg.

With that, Abigail drove Emma back to her place in Allie's Garden.

Teal was probably looking for Sasha. If Emma was left there, Abigail was afraid that this fool would do something unfavorable on behalf of Sasha. Hence, it was better to bring Emma with her and watch her like a hawk.

Abigail could easily head over to Greg's place if she did not want to live with Emma, after all.

When Emma saw that Abigail was bringing her back to Allie's Garden, she let out a sigh of relief.

The security here was top-notch; no one could come in and out freely. Needless to say, Emma felt that she should be safe here.

At the entrance of the house, Abigail coldly said, "Get down. Don't go out if there's nothing important. Also, there is food in the fridge. If you're hungry, go make it yourself."

"Okay."

At this point, Emma could only obey Abigail's commands.

Once Emma entered the house, Abigail restarted the car and left Allie's Garden.

Greg did not question her on their following location. Instead, he asked curiously, "Are you really planning to take care of that idiot?"

"I'm not. If I can't find Sasha, I'll send her off to work with Amy and earn some money to support herself."

Although this was what she said, it was clear that she was being very tolerant toward her sister.

As for Greg, he did not ask any further and looked in the direction of where they were heading and immediately froze in place for a moment.

"Are we going to the arena?"

"Yeah. Someone called yesterday and said there are still two days left before the game. I want to go and take a look."

Abigail's words took him by surprise.

"Are you really willing to help them?" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"What's the matter? Are you saying that I am not qualified enough?"

Immediately, he raised his eyebrows. He did not dare to say that she was unqualified, so he hurriedly said with a smile, "Of course not. I'm just afraid that you'll be tired."

"Enough. Don't go easy on me later."

Abigail knew what Greg was like and warned him.

This made him rub his nose. His thoughts were read by his wife. How could he ever mess around in the future?

However, if he didn't give in to her, she might cry, and he would have to coax her.

It was hard to be a man!

Abigail shouldn't have come to the arena in the first place.

Greg's heart was filled with remorse, but she chose to ignore him and drove the car right to the front door of the place.

"Sweetheart, why don't we come back tomorrow?"

He seemed a bit reluctant, which made Abigail frown slightly.

"What did you do behind my back?"

"Nothing!"

Greg quickly shook his head.

"In that case, what are you scared of?"

"Me? Scared? I, Greg Buckley, would never be afraid!"

As soon as he said that, he saw the president walking into the arena with an enchanting woman in his arms, and his expression immediately changed.
