The next morning, as soon as Abigail came downstairs, she heard Daniella’s sweet voice. “Abby, did you sleep well last night?”
Daniella was walking down from the upper floor, her gaze landing squarely on Abigail, laced with undisguised malice. “You looked like you did. I

Abigail stepped out of her room and closed the door behind her. She had, in fact, slept quite well–peacefully, even.
Because of that, she had in starting

“Abigail, stop right there.” Daniella rushed after her. Abigail’s indifference made her feel completely ignored and humiliated.
As she stared at Abigail’s back, Daniella’s eyes turned vicious. Daniella thought, ‘After three years in prison, she still has the nerve to come back. I won’t allow it. Everything in the Gibson family belongs to me.‘
But Abigail completely blocked out the noise behind her. Her eyes were fixed on the house just one villa away–that was where the person she cared about most lived.
She picked up her pace. Just as she reached the gate, some servants stopped her.
“I’m Abigail Gibson. My grandfather lives here. Are you sure you want to stop me?” Abigail asked. She had a feeling these servants knew exactly who
she was.
The servants exchanged looks. One of them spoke up, “Ms. Abigail Gibson, Mr. Stephen Gibson gave strict instructions–no one else is allowed inside without his permission.”
Daniella walked over and gently explained, pretending to be considerate, “Abby, Grandpa isn’t doing well. Stevie gave the order to keep visitors away so Grandpa can rest. These servants are just following instructions. You don’t have to make it hard for them.”
The servants quickly said, “Ms. Daniella Gibson, are you here to see Mr. Wyatt Gibson too? Mr. Stephen Gibson said you can go right in if you want to visit your grandfather.”
Daniella smiled faintly. She stepped closer Abigail, lowering her voice. “I can let you see Grandpa. All you have to do is to promise me one thing.”
“What do

refuse. She didn’t care about the Gibson family. But Wyatt was here–she couldn’t walk away.
Suddenly, Daniella let out a sharp scream and stumbled back. Abigail instinctively wanted to grab her. But just as Abigail reached out, a furious voice shouted, “Abigail, what do you think you’re doing?”
“Stevie, it’s not Abby’s fault” Daniella said quickly, supported by the rushing servants.
Stephen looked at Daniella, her face pale with fear. He thought, ‘Dani can barely keep her balance, yet she’s still trying to defend Abigail–while Abigail’s out here acting like a menace, trying to shove her.
“She just tried to hurt you. How is that not her fault?” Stephen turned

Stephen frowned, clearly frustrated. “Dani, you’re just too kind. We
can’t let this go.”
“Abigail, apologize to Dani,” he said sternly. He thought, ‘Even if Abigail feels wronged, what does that have to do with Dani? Ever since Abigail came back, she’s been picking on her. Dani’s just too kind to stoop to her level.
