“Abigail has no one to blame but herself. She’s the one who messed up. Dan, you’re just too soft,” Stephen snapped, anger bubbling up
He stared at Abigail’s back and let out a cold snort “She knows we feel guilty, so she’s pushing her luck. I’d love to see what kind of job she thinks she can
Land.
“Let’s see if she can even support herself without the allowance we gave her.”
Ralph frowned slightly, his tone cooling. “It’s getting late. I should gu
Stephen stopped him, clearly annoyed. “You just got here. Why are you leaving already? Stay for breakfast, then take Dani to work. She’s your fiancée You two need to spend more time together.”
At the word “fancle“, Ralph’s eyes darkened. “I have an early meeting. I don’t have time today: Dani, sorry!”
Daniella gave a weak smile. “It’s okay, Ralphie. If work’s busy, you should go take care of it”
Ralph nodded and turned to leave.
As soon as he was gone, Stephen looked at Daniella’s tearful eyes and get even more upset. “What’s wrong with Ralph? He agreed to the engagement. What’s he trying to pull now?”

Abigail replied: (A little. Not anymore though
She’d just gotten out of prison with nothing to her name. Bianca had gone on and on about how guilty she felt but hadn’t offered her a dime. Abigail figured maybe Bianca didn’t want to.
Either way, Abigail didn’t care anymore. She had no interest in touching a single cent of the Gibson family’s money
Since she had some free time last night, Abigall had picked up a few small gigs and made a bit of money. A few thousand dollars should be enough to tide her over until her first paycheck.
That person texted: [Alright. If you need anything, just ask |

Abigail stared at the message. She felt a mix of warmth and surprise.

After the call ended, Abigail checked the time. It was seven in the morning. She thought, ‘This counts as early?”
