Chapter 382: Afraid You Can’t Control Yourself
“Don’t you realize you’ve done something wrong?”
Isaac immediately saw through her thoughts, put down the file in his hand with a cold expression, and looked deeply at the person in front of him.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Abigail pouted, “I haven’t done anything wrong. It was Mrs. Leer who targeted Olivia, not me. I was just following Mrs. Leer’s instructions!”
“Did Mrs. Leer explicitly tell you not to supply materials to Dr. Prescott’s research institute?” Isaac questioned harshly.
Abigail was startled by his tone, her body tensed for a moment but relaxed. She replied stubbornly, “Even if Mrs. Leer didn’t say it directly, I know what she means! Besides, given our good relationship with Leer’s Group, isn’t it right to help Mrs. Leer?”
Before Isaac could respond, Abigail continued, “Brother, don’t forget, Olivia left without a word, leaving behind a divorce agreement. Mrs. Leer has never forgotten that! As insiders, shouldn’t we stand with Leer’s Group? Given your friendship with Victor, you should support him!”
Isaac coldly retorted, “Did Victor tell you that? Does Victor need our help to vent his anger?”
As far as he knew, not only did Victor not need their help, but he also went out of his way to protect Olivia. There was no way he would let them target her.
With this thought, Isaac suspected that Victor might be unaware of Lily’s actions against Olivia, otherwise, he would have reacted by now.
Meanwhile, Abigail continued to justify herself, “No matter what, what Olivia did back then is a fact. Mrs. Leer will never forgive her, and besides, Emma…”
“Enough!” Isaac snapped back to reality and interrupted her harshly. “Are you doing this because of Mrs. Leer or out of your own selfish motives? You know the answer! Abigail, ask yourself, what has Dr. Prescott ever done to wrong our Whitaker family? If it weren’t for her, how could Grandpa’s health have improved so much? She is a great benefactor to our family! It’s one thing to speak against her, but to act so recklessly and still not realize your mistake is unacceptable!”
It was the first time Abigail had seen her brother so angry, and she was momentarily too scared to speak.
Isaac frowned deeply. “I don’t know where your prejudice against Dr. Prescott comes from, but from now on, don’t let me catch you doing anything foolish again! And stop using Leer’s Group as an excuse!”
Abigail finally snapped out of it and opened her mouth to defend herself.
Before she could say anything, Isaac had already returned to his desk.
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave now. I have work to do. Also, you’d better stay home for a while, I’m afraid you can’t control yourself,” Isaac said, knowing he couldn’t persuade her and not wanting to waste more words.
With that, he buried himself in the files on his desk without giving Abigail another glance.
Feeling resentful, Abigail tried to get his attention by making noise.
But after a while, Isaac still didn’t look up.
Frustrated, Abigail huffed angrily, grabbed her bag, and stomped out of the office in her high heels. As she left, she slammed the door hard in a final act of defiance.
Hearing the door slam, Isaac merely furrowed his brow before continuing with his work.
