Abigail Bernstein was a quiet and obedient girl who seldom say NO to her father’s decisions. Even when it’s about her marriage.
To save their family’s company out of bankruptcy, her father arranged her to marry Diarmuid Althoff, the grandson of a billionaire. But on their wedding day, the groom did not appear. Abigail was disappointed but could do nothing about it.
Alone and boring on wedding night, Abigail accepted to replace her colleague’s shift. At her workplace, the hospital, she saved a wounded man being hunted down by gangsters, and made out with this stranger to blow off steam.
The stranger, however, turned out to be her husband that did not show up at the altar.
Abigail would’ve never suspected Rocky, but remembering all the things he had been up to recently made him a suspicious target. “Abigail…” “Mom,” Abigail cut Sheryl short again. “Don’t let Ricky near Tommy.” “Why?!” Sheryl asked, and soon came to a realization.” Does that mean he was hurting Tommy?” Abigail only had her suspicions, however.…
Ricky panicked. “No, I didn’t mean to do it… I never wanted to hurt Tommy!” His words were almost hysterical, but it was clear he was feeling guilty. Abigail’s demeanor turned cold. “You’re our father’s only son, and I would’ve given you the family estate in its entirety without taking anything. Why did you think…
Abigail tugged at Diarmuid’s sleeve. “Please calm down…” “I am calm, Abigail,” he said evenly. He certainly knew what he should be doing right now, too: the first was to keep his son safe, and the next was to find the person who did this and make that person pay- no matter who it was!…
Some of the board members were vehemently supporting him, after all… Henry naturally doubted that Diarmuid didn’t do anything behind the scenes, or that he didn’t care about the Althoff estate and being the CEO of Sky Group. The board members were certainly no fools–they were smart enough to know Diarmuid’s worth, and became frantic…
Abigail knew that and actually felt the same, so it was what she had in mind as well. Moreover, a doctor that had Zachary’s confidence would be no pushover. “I’m going in,” she said anyway. “Yeah, I’m coming with you.” Zachary agreed. They both entered to find Dr. Kyle examining Tommy from head to toe,…
His voice was a little quiet, and noticing that, she quickly said, “You hadn’t been eating, have you? I’ll go cook right now…” With that, she pushed him away and headed to the kitchen. Mrs. Watson wasn’t here, so no one was cooking for them. Abigail opened the fridge to find that it was empty.…
The man appeared perplexed. She became a judge even though she didn’t know anything? That was a little too much, wasn’t it not? “But you…” He couldn’t find the right words. “Please, you have to keep this a secret.” Abigail still looked very worried that she would be exposed, and the man actually understood why.…
Robin naturally doubted that. “There’s no way you can. If you prove that you can, I’ll wipe this entire building with my bare–hands.” Abigail suddenly became delicate again. “R–Really?” Abigail’s fear made Robin believe that she was on the money, bolstering her confidence once more. “Of course. Everyone here can be my witness.” Someone chimed…
She smiled at the male judge. “Thank you. You’ve helped me a lot today.” “It’s nothing,” he smiled back. “This gentleman is…” “My husband,” Abigail replied. Diarmuid had been keeping a profile, which left the male judge thinking that he was an average Joe. He couldn’t resist sizing up Diarmuid at that–deciding that Diarmuid was…
That was when his phone suddenly vibrated. Instead of checking it, he told Abigail, “I’m thirsty. Can you get me a glass of water?” “Okay.” Abigail went over to the thermos flask nearby, but it was empty. “I’ll get it from the dispenser outside. Ricky nodded. After Abigail left, he whipped out his phone to…
