Chapter 124
During this period, many people looked at Abigail differently.
The speculation that Abigail was just an irrelevant person brought over by Greg was instantly overturned.
Now, it seemed that not only was she not an unrelated person, she was also someone Greg held in his heart.
Emma was trembling all over, and she almost couldn't stand. If it wasn't for Sasha supporting her, she probably would have turned around and run away.
Although she was aware of Greg's influence in Harrion, she had never seen him beating people up in public.
Just now, he was like a grim reaper. He had an aura that would scare the hell out of anybody.
Emma couldn't help but fight off a shiver when she saw Selina's current tragic situation. If Greg found out that it was her who spread the rumors involving Abigail, she would not dare to think about the consequences.
After all, Selina was still the daughter of one of the five major families, while Emma was a nobody.
At this moment, she was extremely regretful that she had shot her own foot. But she was also very jealous of why Abigail was so favored by Greg.
Naturally, Sasha didn't expect it either.
She always thought that the relationship between Abigail and Greg would not be strong. After all, it had only been a few days since Abigail returned to the country.
But with what happened today, it was clear that Greg treated Abigail well.
This was not what she wanted to see.
Philip watched Greg stand up for Abigail, and he even did not hesitate to offend the Zimmer Family, one of the five major families in the city. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes again as he calculated something in his mind.
The others waited tremblingly.
The air was filled with the scent of blood, which made people feel a little uncomfortable, but no one dared to say anything.
Howard almost fainted when he saw that his daughter had been so brutally abused by Greg. However, he saw that the security guard quickly brought over the surveillance video and played it in public.
The truth of the matter was then revealed in front of everyone.
Greg looked at Howard coldly and said, "Did you see? It's your good daughter who came to provoke my woman for no reason. My woman was just acting in self-defense."
"Even so, Mr. Buckley, you have gone too far. Is it appropriate for you to intervene in a quarrel between women?"
Even now, Howard still didn't want to admit that it was Selina's fault.
He figured Abigail must have offended Selina before; otherwise, why would she find trouble with Abigail?
When Greg saw that Howard was still grasping at straws, saying that Abigail was in the wrong, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Howard Zimmer, I guess you'll not accept defeat until you reach the end of your rope, huh? A quarrel between women, you say? Then when you wanted to hit Abigail, were you not a man at the time?"
Howard's face turned red when he heard this.
"Mr. Buckley, don't forget that the two of us have cooperation."
"It's just business; it's nothing to me. It's just money, and I won't go bankrupt if I lose this cooperation. But if I don't get justice for my woman, then I won't be able to rest or eat, and I might even die."
After Greg finished speaking, he hugged Abigail and said distressingly, "If I had known this sh*tty banquet would make you feel wronged, then I wouldn't have brought you here. You didn't get to eat much food and even got angry. Let's go back. What do you want to eat? My treat."
Abigail felt moved and warm at this time.
This man was always making her fall in love with him unintentionally.
"I feel like eating skewers."
Abigail said this with a slight smile.
Greg was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go."
He took Abigail's hand and walked outside under everyone's gaze.
Suddenly, Philip weaseled out of the crowd.
"Abigail, I have something to tell you about your mother."
Abigail was slightly taken aback.
She really wanted to know about her mother, but she didn't want to hear anything from Philip's mouth.
The man's eyes flickered with schemes, which made her dislike him very much. He had said the same thing last time, which caused her to lose 8 million of her funds. Now that Greg was so protective of her, she was afraid that what he wanted was much more than 8 million.
Abigail answered coldly, "Thank you, but I don't want to know about it anymore."
"What?"
Philip obviously didn't expect Abigail to give up suddenly and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are you deaf? Can't you understand human speech?"
Greg was in a very bad mood now.
Originally, he brought his woman here to relax, but they ran into a fool like Selina, which made Abigail unhappy, and Philip came to cause trouble too.
Greg naturally knew what kind of man Philip was, and needless to say, he also knew why he had come over to block Abigail's way at this moment.
Seeing how impatient Greg was, Philip quickly gave up.
Soon after that, Abigail left the banquet hand in hand with Greg.
Immediately, the videos and rumors of Greg's immense doting on his girlfriend spread like wildfire within the whole social circle.
Only after Abigail was brought out by Greg did she realize that the air outside was so fresh.
She took a deep breath and saw that there was a little distress in Greg's eyes.
"I won't bring you to such boring parties in the future."
"No, I think it's okay. And I met a very handsome guy here."
Abigail smiled slightly, but Greg's expression changed. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Handsome guy? Who is it? Introduce him to me too."
Although Greg said it calmly, Abigail found it interesting how his emotions showed through his eyes and the way he gnashed his teeth.
"That won't work. What if I told you and you beat someone up again? I finally got tempted once."
Greg's heart ached instantly when he heard Abigail say this.
What did she say?
Tempted?
She is actually attracted to another man?
Greg felt a little cold from head to toe, and the chill was a little uncomfortable.
"Then, you can go look for him. I'll be leaving first."
After speaking, Greg raised his feet and left.
He f*cking wanted to kill someone!
Seeing him like that, Abigail quickly grabbed his wrist.
"Where are you going?"
"That's none of your business."
Greg's voice was a little cold, and his whole body was tense. He was afraid that he couldn't help himself and hurt this heartless woman.
Abigail suddenly laughed.
"Look at how jealous you are. But why do I like it so much? That handsome guy's last name is Buckley, and he was so cool when he stood up for me just now."
"I don't care what his last name is. Did I say I wanted to hear it?"
Greg snapped angrily, but suddenly thought of something.
He turned his head sharply and saw Abigail looking at him with a smile on her face. That mischievous gaze was too dazzling to him.
"What did you say the handsome guy was called?"
"Greg Buckley!"
When he heard the name, Greg immediately ran over and hugged her.
"Hey, what are you doing? Put me down!"
Abigail felt that this man was crazy.
The corners of Greg's lips were slightly raised, and he said with a smile, "That's impossible. Did I just hear that you are attracted and tempted by this handsome guy?"
"You heard wrongly."
Abigail wouldn't admit it even if she was beaten to death.
Greg was euphoric for a while, and his smile was growing by the second. He was so happy that he could not wait to tell the world the good news.
He carried Abigail into the car, then closed the door and locked it.
Greg adjusted the seat and laid it back.
Then, he just lay on top of Abigail's body with turbulent eyes.
"Abigail, tell me again: Are you really attracted to me?"
Greg was a little nervous and excited.
Although the two of them had established their relationship as a couple, Abigail had never personally admitted anything, which made him a little uneasy.
But when Abigail said those words just now, Greg's heart almost exploded.
This was different from pursuing Genevieve back then.
Now, he even felt that he had never loved Genevieve. It was just a combination of a longing and pursuit of the opposite sex when he was young and frivolous. Genevieve was just an echo of all his imaginations about the opposite sex at that time.
Abigail didn't expect Greg to be so excited. She was a little embarrassed, but also a little shy.
"Get up."
"Answer me first."
The roguish Greg actually planned to use this method to force Abigail to speak, and he looked like a child who couldn't get his candy.
Abigail was a little speechless.
"I'm not interested in having s*x the car."
"Huh? Do you actually want it?"
Greg replied, whereupon Abigail's face quickly turned red.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and drive. This is the parking lot!"
The commotion caused by the banquet just now was not small. If she was photographed doing something intimate in the parking lot, would she get out of this alive?
When he saw her being so shy, Greg really wanted to eat her up. But when he remembered that this place wasn't a good location, he got up reluctantly and went to the driver's seat.
"Damn it. You're so stingy. You can't even tell me what you feel."
Greg muttered in a low voice, but he definitely allowed Abigail to hear him.
Hearing what he said, Abigail felt goosebumps all over her.
She hurriedly sat up and sorted out her clothes, then said, "Drive. I'm hungry."
"Do you want to eat me? Feel free to taste me; I don't mind!"
Greg became more playful.
Abigail looked at his handsome face and said, "I have gastric pain and want to eat something."
Greg's expression suddenly changed.
"Gastric? Do you have medicine? Take some medicine first, and I'll find a place for you to eat right away."
When she saw Greg looking so worried, Abigail couldn't help but reach out and hold his hand. "Drive slow. I don't need to take medicine; I just want to drink some millet porridge."
"Take care of your stomach and don't delay your meals. In the future, you must eat three meals a day on time. No one took care of you before, so you could be willful. But from today onward, I will make sure you eat well."
Greg was a little worried, but he obediently reduced the speed of the car.
Abigail heard his words of concern and suddenly felt that it was worth going out today.
Greg had a bad temper, but he was sincere and kind to her. Based on this alone, Abigail felt that she had found a treasure.
No matter what the future held, at least at this moment, Abigail really wanted to be with him, and she even had the slightest idea of marrying him.
