Daniella’s eyes instantly turned red as she lowered her head, looking pitiful and wronged
Stephen immediately stepped up and pulled her to his side, shielding her as he shot Abigail a disapproving glare She’s a victim too.”
“What does this have to do with Dand
“Victim?” Abigail let out a sharp laugh. “A victim who got to enjoy all the wealth and luxury? Then I guess everyone would love to be that kind of victim
“How dare you say–Stephen was furious.
Daniella tugged on his sleeve. “Stevie, I’m fine. In Abby’s eyes, I did take her place. But I never wanted this
Tears welled in Daniella’s eyes, making her look heartbreakingly delicate. Abigail stared coldly at her little act and didn’t bother to respond. She turned
“Abigail, you need to apologize to Dani. If you don’t, then forget about seeing Grandpa. Stephen’s voice was full of warning Abigal turned around, staring at him in disbelief
Stephon felt a bit uncomfortable under her gare. He thought, I know Grandpa is the person she cares about most. I didn’t want to use him against her but she just accused Dani of stealing her place in front of everyone,
‘What are people supposed to think of Dani? This is all Abigail’s fault. I’m only asking her to apologize. As long as she does, I won’t stop her from seeing Grandpa
Daniella said, “Stevie, don’t say that. I’m fine. As long as I get to stay with Mom, Dad, Chris, and you, I don’t care how Abby treats me
Stephen felt even more moved. Whatever guilt he had toward Abigail was gone because of Daniella’s words.
He thought, ‘Dani has suffered so much just to stay with us. And Abigail’s still treating her like this? If I don’t stand up for Dani, she’ll just keep getting bullied by Abigail
“Abigail, are you going to apologize or not? Do you really want to give up sewing Grandpa?” His last words came out in a low voice. After all, threatening Abigail with Wyatt wasn’t exactly something to be proud of,

looked straight at Stephen, her gaze turning cold as it shifted to Daniella. “Fine,” Abigail said.
The corners of Daniella’s lips almost curled uncontrollably
The venue went completely silent in that moment. With her long flowing hair and red lips, Abigail looked distant and serene, like someone untouched by worldly noise, wrapped in a quiet aloofness that set her apart.
Ralph came down the stairs, and his eyes immediately landed on her figure. His heart skipped a beat.
Just as Abigail was about to speak, Ralph’s voice broke in. “What are you guys talking about?”
Daniella lit up when she saw him. “Ralphie, Mr. Fletcher resting now!”
Ralph nodded, “Grandpa asked me to come down and keep you company”
Daniella smiled shyly. “Mr. Fletcher is always so thoughtful”
Ralph chuckled, his gaze drifting to Abigail “And I’m not?”
A blush crept over Daniella’s face. “Ralphie”
“Just messing with you guys. What were you saying earlier?” Ralph asked casually as he looked away.
