Abigail knew the card game this time was different from the last time when she was just playing for fun. She did not really know how to play. So of course, she did not dare to play.Just when she wanted to speak to reject him, Xander then said, "Just simply play. Winning doesn't matter."Abigail had to play. Although he told her she could just simply play, she could not do that. 'I'm afraid I'll lose a house if I do that.'Lucas held Stella's hand to play a card. "Xander, life is short. You should treat yourself better when you're young. You should have a romantic relationship and be serious about it. Don't live ascetically."Xander just ignored him. He could only hear Abigail's soft call for help. "Mr. Zane, which card should I play?"Xander raised his hand. He drew a card from her to play it with his long, slender fingers. "Don't panic. Just play casually."He was very close to her. So, Abigail could smell the faint woody scent on his body. It was faint but it smelled good. She

Abigail's phone rang.She received a WhatsApp video call request on the phone in her pocket.Felix called her. Abigail accepted the call. Before she could switch off the speaker mode, she heard him scream. "Where did you go again? Are you not coming home tonight again?"Abigail immediately turned off the speaker mode. "Ah, I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you guys just now. But I was interrupted by something."Xander could no longer hear what the person over the phone said. He only saw Abigail continuously nicely trying to make the other person happy.'Is her marriage not as happy as what I saw?'Felix and Melody relented only after Abigail took a long time trying to make them feel better. After the phone call ended, she saw Xander eyeballing her.She felt the cold murderous atmosphere in his gaze.Xander then lit a cigarette. He slowly spoke under the light that flickered, "That person always treats you with a bad attitude?""Yes." Abigail nodded before she shook her head. "No. Th

Stella took out her phone and asked, "Abigail, can I add you on WhatsApp? I really like you and would like to be your friend."Abigail already liked Stella, and now that she was voluntarily asked for her contact method, Abigail had no reason to refuse her. Both of them scanned the code and added each other on WhatsApp. Stella naturally added Abigail to their chat group where Emma and Susie were.Stella then said, "From now on, this will be our secret base between us for sisters. We can never let these stinking men know about it."Susie chirped, "Ok!"Emma also agreed, "Ok!"Abigail was speechless.At the same time, Lucas was dragging Xander around for a chat. "Xander, from our many years of friendship, you need to tell me truthfully. Do you really have no ulterior intentions with Abigail?"Xander lit a cigarette and took several puffs before replying, "She has a husband."Lucas patted his shoulder and chuckled. "As long as you want it, does it matter if she's married?"'His id

The bag containing her phone was thrown onto the shotgun seat, so her phone was unreachable...Abigail stared hopelessly as the car drove out of the city. It went up the highway by the seaside toward the direction facing the Summerstone district. After approximately more than an hour's drive, the car reached the shore. Their mode of transport changed to a speedboat. After sitting on a speedboat for tens of minutes, they got onto the Serene Isles. They took another sightseeing bus on the island.The citizens of Florivera knew that the Serene Isles was the Zane family's private island. The island was well known around the world as a luxury retreat. After many twists and turns, the two strong men brought Abigail to the front of a small building. They walked past a large pasture on the side of the building. The end of the field was a cliff with the sea as far as the eyes could see below the ridge.A huge tent was raised on the pasture. Below the tent was a seat with a woman in a dress s

"Madam Zane, you should understand Mr. Zane's character better than me. Besides, what are you actually afraid of that made you want to put a small assistant like me in such a difficult position?" Abigail did not know that her words had hit a soft spot in Jane. She merely deduced that Jane looked for her due to a deeper purpose.Besides that, she remembered the words Xander had said to her yesterday. As long as she still works by his side, he will be her patron. Who would she need to be afraid of with his backing?Jane's facade was obliterated by Abigail. She stared at Abigail for a long time before giving a cold smile. "Forest, send Ms. Renee back."Forest accepted the command. "Yes..."After they left, Cleona walked to Jane's side. "Madam, are you really worried that Mr. Zane would turn against you over a small assistant?"Jane smashed her teacup in a rage. "What small assistant? That small assistant is the woman the old lady made Xander marry. She's currently still Xander's legi
