Not One, But Two!

Chapter 122

"Huh, I wondered who it was, and it turned out to be you. I guess just anyone can join this banquet, huh?"

Genevieve's accusing voice sounded, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Most women at the scene already threw hateful glances at Abigail, so when they saw Genevieve coming forward to insult her, they were all glad and excited.

This was how people were—an extraordinary man who was single and had no one to go home to was the object and goal of everyone's admiration and pursuit. Nobody had any issue with that, and they just considered him a God that was worshiped by many. But once he was standing next to another woman, it would make people feel very uneasy.

This was just the typical case of sour grapes.

Greg frowned when he saw Genevieve rushing up again to look for trouble.

"Go away!"

He rarely spoke to Genevieve in this tone.

He had never intended to before, but now he felt more and more repulsed by her. He was even a little doubtful of how he had fallen in love with such a woman previously.

Genevieve was slightly taken aback.

She was the last person to accept such changes in him.

In the past, Greg did not completely dote on her, but he was very nice to her, and he would never speak to her like this. At present, he and Abigail were only together for a few days, but he already hated her so much. She was convinced that it was Abigail who badmouthed her in front of him!

When she thought of this, Genevieve glared at Abigail angrily and said, "Are you very happy now that Greg is treating me like this?"

"Actually, I'm very happy. After all, I am the one that he is pampering now."

Abigail spoke truthfully, causing Genevieve to tremble in anger.

The incident in the hospital yesterday hadn't been settled yet, and they met again today unwillingly. However, Genevieve knew what the occasion was today, so there was no need to rush Abigail to make a fool of herself, especially when Greg was still by her side.

Genevieve sneered and said, "Don't be too happy. It's still unknown whether you can stand by his side forever."

"Are you done? Get out of here already!"

The more Greg listened to her, the more upset he felt, and his voice became a little colder.

Genevieve bit her lower lip, looked at Greg with some discomfort, and finally stomped her foot and ran away crying. She made it look as if Abigail and Greg were bullying her.

On the other hand, Abigail didn't feel upset at all.

She's so dramatic.

However, Greg was upset.

What the hell is up with Genevieve?

When they were together, she ignored him and even pursued Cody blindly without caring about his feelings. But now, she acted as if he had let her down. What was that all about?

"Sorry, Abbie."

Greg felt that it was his own fault, so he couldn't help apologizing to Abigail.

"What does this have to do with you? Did you ask her to approach me?"

"No."

"Then why are you apologizing? Well, I'll go over there to find something to eat, and you can come along too. I can see that you didn't bring me here to show me how the world works."

Abigail didn't care much about Genevieve.

Genevieve was the kind of woman who was typically opportunistic and didn't want to give up any of her choices. Greg didn't want her anymore and instead found Abigail as his girlfriend, so it was natural for her to feel uncomfortable.

But Abigail never planned to just let her be.

If Genevieve didn't cause any trouble, then that would be fine. But if she insisted on making trouble for her, then Abigail didn't mind teaching her a lesson. After all, she had some time to spare.

Greg was relieved to see that Abigail really didn't care about her.

"Go over there and find something to eat first. I'll come to you when I'm done, and call me anytime if you need anything."

"Okay."

Greg felt a little uncomfortable again when he saw Abigail being so independent.

"Forget it. Just follow me."

With that, Greg took Abigail's hand.

How could Abigail not understand Greg's actions?

She smiled and said, "I'm not interested in your business, and I don't want to get involved. I'll get something to eat first. You can go by yourself. Don't worry. I won't let anyone bully me."

Then, she patted Greg's hand and went to the food area.

Philip also came today. When he saw that Abigail came with Greg, he was stunned.

Although Greg did go to the Kain's Residence to stand up for her once yesterday, Philip always felt that the two of them were a little far-fetched together. He figured they got together for the benefits or because Abigail begged Greg to help her keep up appearances.

After all, Abigail saved Valerie.

But when he saw Greg's care for Abigail today, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Is this Greg truly in love with Abigail?

When he thought of this, Philip felt a little regretful.

Needless to say, everyone knew whether Greg or Jonathan helped the Kain Family more.

But now that he had offended Abigail, how could he get her to continue to help the Kain Family?

Philip's brain was working in overdrive.

Naturally, Sasha and Emma also saw Abigail. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

They were both very jealous when they saw how she was being doted on.

Why could Abigail have all this?

Why her?

Emma was livid. Her heel was still in pain. She could have not come, but she couldn't help herself.

How could she be absent on such an important occasion?

After Abigail went to the food area alone, Emma saw the jealous eyes of several women around her and couldn't help but say, "Oh, how can this sister of mine be so arrogant and not understand her situation? Mr. Buckley is not someone that she could easily use to climb up the social ladder. If he found out about her fooling around with wild men, our family would be done for."

After saying this, Emma deliberately pretended to be terrified and said, "Oh, no. I didn't say anything just now, and none of you heard anything either."

Her sly behavior suddenly angered the women around her.

"What? A sl*t like her still dare to stand next to Mr. Buckley?"

"I thought she was from an important family! It turns out that she is just the daughter of an unreputable family, and yet she is acting so cheap."

"Let's go and teach her a lesson."

Several women walked angrily toward Abigail.

Emma smirked.

Abigail, weren't you acting arrogant before? I'd like to see if you'd really retaliate on this occasion today!

Emma also saw that the three women were daughters of several members of the upper class.

They were daughters of the Zimmer, Lewis, and Ziegler Family.

It was rumored that these three families wanted to have a marriage of convenience with Greg, but they had no courage to propose the idea, and they could only mull over it.

Selina Zimmer brought the other two people to Abigail and said nothing. Instead, she just picked up a cocktail and poured it on Abigail's face.

Abigail dodged, and the cocktail spilled over beside her ear, but her eyes turned a little cold.

"What are you doing?"

She didn't like to cause trouble at all.

However, Selina couldn't bear to see Abigail being so arrogant, especially since she was someone who was being doted on by everyone around her. That being so, how could she anticipate that Abigail would actually dodge it?

In her mind, if she had the intention to beat someone, then they would have to stand there obediently and wait to be beaten, or they would be disrespecting and provoking her.

Selina fancied Greg, and when she saw Abigail dodging her attack, she couldn't help but slap Abigail's face.

"B*tch, how dare you dodge!"

Selina's slap was quite forceful, but then again, who was Abigail?

She was not the kind of person who would stand still and let someone else beat her up.

When she saw Selina being aggressive, Abigail lifted her foot and kicked her stomach.

"Ah!"

Selina's slap didn't land on Abigail's face, but she was kicked by Abigail instead, and she screamed out loud all of a sudden.

The banquet suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked over to them.

When she saw Abigail move her hand without any hesitation, Emma hurriedly shouted, "Abigail, what are you doing? This is Selina, the eldest lady of the Zimmer Family. Why did you hit her for no reason?"

As soon as she said these words, she could basically make others think that Abigail had made the first move.

Since she was born, when did Selina ever have to suffer such grievances? Thinking of that, Selina burst into tears.

"You filthy woman, you hit me! How dare you!"

She was shivering with anger, and the pain in her stomach was killing her.

Howard naturally doted on his daughter, so when he saw that his daughter was beaten by Abigail and heard that Abigail was the one who made the first move, his face sank.

"Mr. Buckley, how are you going to explain this to the Zimmers?"

When Abigail heard Howard say this, she looked up and saw Greg and Howard standing together. Seeing that Abigail was looking at him, Greg couldn't help but walk toward her.

Abigail did not explain anything.

She also wanted to see how Greg intended to deal with this.

Few people saw what actually happened just now. If it was said that Selina made the first move, few people would probably believe it. And with how these people disliked her, they might even say that she was the wicked party who started the entire thing first.

Greg was not here just now, so she knew that Greg and Howard were indeed talking about a cooperation.

This was a business occasion. If Greg's cooperation was very important, Abigail was not sure if he would just allow them to blame her to save the business.

After all, there was no truth in the Kain Family. They only had the relationship of making use of someone and being used.

So Abigail didn't know which route Greg would choose.

Although she told herself that Greg might be different from Philip, she was not quite sure.

And Philip naturally saw this scene, so he was feeling annoyed.

He didn't approach Abigail, but he scolded her fiercely, "Abigail, you rebellious girl. You won't feel at ease if you don't cause trouble for even a day, will you? Do you even know who you have beaten up? It's the daughter of the Zimmer Family—the Zimmer Family, you know? They are one of the five major families in Harrion after Mr. Buckley! Do you have to infuriate me so much? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to President Zimmer already!"

As soon as Philip said this, everyone in the audience was made aware of Abigail's identity.

She turned out to be the daughter of the Kain Family!

However, it had been many years since they saw Philip bring her out into society, so it was obvious that she was someone who was not favored by him.

Everyone waited for Abigail to apologize, and even waited to see Greg reprimand her. To their dismay, Greg actually came to Abigail's side and squatted down at this time.
