Chapter 27 Abigail stared at Stephens and snapped , " Take it therally . Can't you understand that ? " Stephen's breath grew heavy , his jaw clenched . " Abigail , how dare you talk to me like that ? You're clearly m " You already broke off the engagement with the Fletcher family , and yet you let Ralph drive you home . Don't pretend your Trying to seduce him . " The moment the words left Stephen's lips , botts Gabriel's and Bianca's expressions toned cloudy . Abigail suddenly let out a bitter laugh , one laced with pure sarcasm . " Of course . A filthy heart sees 60th in everything , Stephen , I take back what i said earlier , " Before his face could soften , Abigail added , " You're even more disgusting than I thought . " Stephen's face turned stormy upon hearing those words . Gabriel snapped , " Abigail , how can you talk to your brother like that ? Apologize to him . " Blanca chimed in , trying to smooth things over . " Abby , Stevie may have said something harsh , but he's only looking out for you . It's best if you keep your distance from Ralph , you know ? " Abigail cast Gabriel a cold glance and asked , " Is it he who sent Grandpa to the nursing home ? Answer me ." She didn't even bother responding to Blanca's words . Gabriel's expression stiffened , a flicker of irritation surfacing , " Abigail , sending your grandfather to the nursing home was a decision we made long ago . It has nothing to do with Stevie . " " I told you he'd come back . It's not like you won't see him again . " Gabriel's tone turned clearly impatient . Abigail slowly turned her gaze on everyone present , her eyes scanning each face before putting on a mocking smile " should've seen it sooner. " How could I expect a family that throws their own daughter under the bus to take the fall for someone else to keep their word ? I was too naive " Gabriel's rage ignited upon hearing her words . He slammed his palm down on the table and stood up with a jolt . " You ungrateful brat . Say that again if you dare . " Bianca flinched in fear , but what hit her more was the sting of Abig's words . " No matter how many times I say , it won't erase the fact that she killed someone . " Abigail's gaze turned icy as it swept over to Daniella . Then she turned around and walked away . " Abby , you haven't even had breakfast … " Blanca called out instinctively But Stephen , brimming with fury , cut her of " I knew it . She still holds a grudge over that thing . That's why she's starting fights this early in the morning . Fine , let her go . Don't let her have a single bite in this house again . " Does she really think we owe her anything ? Getting to take the fall for Dani was a blessing for her . An orphan thinks she's someone special ? What a joke At those words , Abigail's steps faltered for a split second . Then she turned slowly and looked straight at Stephen . " Daniella didn't ask to steal my li , sure . But did I choose to live in the orphanage when I was young ? " I may be nothing in your eyes , but I am your blood relative , your sister by birth . " Her words sucked the air from Stephen's lungs . Even Gabriel and Banca felt a weight drop into their chests . After all , Abigail was their biological daughter . Noticing everyone's strange expressions , Daniella immediately began sobbing , her eyes red . " Abby just can't wait to see Grandpa . That's why she's Chapter 27 talking back like this . It's all my fault . My presence makes Abby feel insecure . Maybe I should just move out . " The moment Stephen heard Daniella say she'd move out , his discomfort vanished . He even started to suspect why Abigail was se despence grandfather . * If anyone's moving out , it should be her , " Stephen said loudly , intentionally for Abigail to hear . " She keeps harping on blood fes , but you grew up with us - not her ! " He sneered inwardly , ' Let's see how long she lasts out there . She's been in prison for three years . She's probably way behind society by now . Once people see her criminal record , no one will take her in . She'll come back to apologize to us soon enough Abigail didn't even care about Stephen's words . Without turning back , she walked away . Bianca watched her leave and recalled what Abigail had just said . Blanca sat down in low spirits , murmuring lo Stephen , " Let's just mat " - Bianca and Gabriel didn't rush to comfort Daniella , and that alone made Daniel feel acker of insecurity rise up inside Once Abigail stepped out of the Gibson Villa , she let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding . Her entire body relaxed fit weren't for meeting . her grandfather , she wouldn't have stayed even a second longer . Just then , her phone rang , Abigail pulled it from her pocket and found it was a call from Timothy She answered the call and immediately heard Timothy's urgent voice .

" Hearing the urgency in his voice , Abigail guessed this was a last - minute arrangement . She asked , " Where adil going? Am I going alone ? " " You're headed to Chesterwick . You'll be traveling with Mr. Robinson from the headquarters , " Timothy replied . Abigail's mind instantly flashed to a face from prison when she heard that surname . She wondered , ' Could it be him ? ' Her grip on the phone tightened , and her voice softened unintentionally . " Alright . How many days will it take ? What do I need to bring ? " It was her first time on a business trip , and she had no idea what to pack a guy , and he wasn't clear what women would need during a " Uh … " Timothy was caught off guard .
