Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Abigail asked , " Huh ? By who ? " The waiter smiled , " A gentleman in a mask . " Abigail frowned , wondering . Isn't this my treat ? Still puzzled , she sent a message to Sebastian , Just as it was delivered , the waiter came downstairs carrying the packed food . Abigail took it , glanced at her phone , and saw there was no reply yet . She thought , ' He pr ( probably hasn't seen it yet " Instead of going home , Abigail hailed a cab to the park near the office . The sky wasn't completely dark , and the park was quiet . She walked to the usual spot where the cats gathered and softly called out . The short - haired cat with the collar was the first to appear , leaping gracefully onto the stone table . Its amber eyes locked onto her steadily . Abigail raised the takeout bag in her hand and said , " Kitten , it's just you today ? Where are the others ? I brought a lot of good food for all of you " Being a coastal city , Cobridge offered fresh seafood with a fight , clean flavor , which was perfect for cats . The short - haired cat didn't respond , its demeanor still proud and aloot , as always . Abigail didn't ask any more questions . She squatted down and began placing the seafood on the table . " Meow … The sudden meow made Abigail turn instinctively . The short - haired cat jumped down and stood a few paces from her . Close up , she could clearly see something almost human - like in its amber gaze - curiosity . * You recognize me , sweetie ? " asked Abigail . The cat replied with a meow . Abigail's question slipped out without thinking . She couldn't shake the feeling that this cat remembered her , She thought , it probably just remembers my scent from last time . Nothing strange about that ! Abigail said , " Come and eat . And once you're done , don't forget to call the others over . It was getting late . With that , Abigail turned and left the park By the time Abigail returned to Gibson Villa , it was already dark . She had just stepped into the living room when a sharp voice rang out . " Stop right there . Why are you back so late ? " It was Gabriel's voice . Abigail glanced over at him , her voice flat . " You want to talk or what ? " Her tone made it obvious that she had no intention of explaining herself . Gabriel's face turned red with fury . " Is that how you talk to me ? Where is your respect ? " Abigail let out a cold laugh . " No one taught me how to respect others . Sorry , I can't . " " You " Gabriel was seething his chest heaving , eyes nearly murderous , Bianca tried to mediate . " Abby , how can you speak to your father like that ? Apologize to him . " 1/2 Chapter 43 Abigail had no patience left . Without a word , she headed upstairs . " Why did you steal Dani's things Gabriel snapped through clenched teeth . Abigail stopped , turned slightly , and looked back at them with a sneer . " Who told you stole Daniella's things ? " She caught a flicker of discomfort in Bianca's expression , and she had her answer . " You still think you're in the right after stealing from Dani ? " Gabriel only grew more furious . Bianca tugged at his sleeve . " Enough , it wasn't entirely Abby's fault ." Abigail snorted , " You really know how to twist the story , huh ? Why not mention that Daniella stole my necklace and shamelessly claimed it was her s that how you taught her , huh ? " Blanca's face flushed with a mix of shame and anger , " Abby , Dani is your sister . She's not a thief . The musid accidentally found the necklace while cleaning , and Dani bought it from her . Even if it was yours , couldn't you just let her have it ? " Abigail listened to Bianca's words , unaffected . She had heard all of this plenty of times . If Daniella wanted something - even things she didn't want anymore - Bianca always asked Abigail to give them up . Three years ago , Abigail would've left hurt . Now , she felt nothing " I don't have a sister, " Abigail said calmly , her tone nearly icy . " Anything else ? " Blanca stared at her in a daze , a strange emptiness forming in her chest , like something important had quietly disappeared . Seeing Abigail's emotionless face , Gabriel opened his mouth to yell again . But he suddenly remembered what he'd meant to ask . He grunted , " What's your relationship with the Robinson family ? " Abigail snorted inwardly , " Of course , he hasn't let that pos go . She gave him one look , turned around , and headed upstairs . " Abigail , get back , " Gabriel shouted after her , his rage boiling . Her only response was the sound of a door slamming shut . Gabriel stepped forward in fury , ready to storm up the stairs , but Blanca grabbed his arm and said , " She doesn't want to talk , Let it go . " " I'm asking because I care about her , is that wrong ? " Gabriel snapped . Bianca didn't answer right away . Thinking of something , she loosened her grip and mumbled , " She won't tell you anything . Honey , do you think Abigaill has already cut ties with us in her heart ? " Gabriel frowned . He didn't understand why she was suddenly asking that To him , it didn't matter if Abigail cut ties with them or not . As long as she was still useful to him , that was enough . He answered , " Anyway , she's still our daughter . She can't deny that . Stop overthinking it . By the way , where are Dani and Stevie ? " O
