Chapter 41: Chapter 41: The Lee Mother and Daughter Set Their Sights on Abigail’s Money
Lincoln Green looked on as Abigail dialed 120 to get Aunt Claudia taken away, completely ignoring him throughout the process,
Over the years, Lincoln’s disregard for his daughter had grown, not only because her birth led to the death of his first wife, but also because Abigail’s character was anything but pleasing. Silent and self-conscious, her thick bangs made her look gloomy and paranoid, not at all appealing.
In contrast, his stepdaughter was becoming better every day, beautiful and sensible. She was now connected to the Piers family’s second son, with unlimited potential for the future. The honor and benefits she could bring to the Green family were immeasurable.
He thought this time Abigail returned, though she had gained weight, she would be more eloquent and sensible. However, she had become disrespectful towards him within a few days.
Although Butler Jackson was a bit overbearing today, that girl was too arrogant.
The more Lincoln thought about it, the more upset he became. Jackson, who knew that Abigail had taken Aunt Claudia away, hurriedly knelt down to apologize, “Brother-in-law, it was all my impulsive behavior. Last night I heard that old woman call Miss Abigail, asking her not to come back to the Green house, saying that you and my sister treated Abigail poorly and that it was you who wronged the first lady, leading to her death… I couldn’t help but beat her.”
“What did you say?” Lincoln was trembling with anger after delivering the news, “Is this really what Aunt Claudia said?”
Lincoln finally understood why his loving daughter had suddenly started hating him. It turned out that it was Aunt Claudia, that old devout woman, who was stirring up trouble behind his back.
“I also heard that Miss Abigail has gone to Piers’ house to work as a babysitter.” Seeing that the fire he had fueled was well set, Jackson didn’t hesitate to fan the flames.
“What?” Lincoln looked at Jackson in shock, how could this be possible?
His Green family was on the verge of forming a marriage alliance with the Piers family, but now his younger daughter had run off to Piers’ house to work as a babysitter. What did they take him and his Green family for?
“I also just heard it from others, but it was certainly the driver of Young Master Piers who came with Miss Abigail today.” Jackson’s insinuating speech, hint by hint, was undoubtedly hammering Abigail.
“Bitch, this disgraceful bitch!” Lincoln Green slapped the table angrily, “Go check it out for me to find out what on earth is going on.”
Abigail’s agreement to be Teddy’s babysitter was not at all a secret.
Shortly after, Jackson returned, “They said that Young Master Piers wanted Abigail to take care of him from the moment he saw her. The Piers family had no choice but to spend three million to hire Abigail.
“No wonder, no wonder. Once she had money, she started to spread her wings!” Lincoln sneered angrily, thinking about how to deal with this disobedient girl, when his cellphone inconveniently rang. It was a call from his company secretary.
Lincoln took a deep breath and answered, “What’s the matter? Speak.”
From the other end of the line came a shaky report. The darker Lincoln’s face turned as he listened. After hanging up, he dialed Rose Taylor directly, “Rose, what is going on with the research project you are in charge of? A testing drug has taken a life. Why didn’t you tell me? The family of the deceased has already made a scene at the company, do you know that?”
Rose, who was discussing her engagement with the Piers family with Ruby, was taken aback by Lincoln’s sudden query. Then she remembered that indeed there were problems with the project she was overseeing. But she had already had someone take care of it, how could there be a problem again?
“Husband, don’t worry, I’ve had it handled. These people must be greedy, not content even after being compensated. I’ll have someone deal with it immediately.” Rose hadn’t expected it to be this issue. had she not already taken care of things?
She couldn’t help but grind her teeth, with all her words being utter deflections of responsibility.
Lincoln didn’t expect it to be true and didn’t hold back, “You didn’t report such a big issue? If that’s the case, you clean up this mess.”
Click.
Once he finished speaking, Lincoln hung up the phone.
Rose held the phone for a long time without saying a word.
“Mom, what happened? Weren’t those people already dealt with?” Seeing her mother’s face darken, Ruby approached to ask.
Before Rose could respond, her phone rang. It was the person in charge of this project, “Ma’am, it’s bad. These people are saying that if the company doesn’t compensate according to the contract, they will expose us.”
“A bunch of lowlifes, how much do they want!”
“We paid them thirty thousand last time, but according to the contract, one death, three injuries, at least three hundred thousand.” The person in charge replied uneasily.
Rose stared blankly, “Three hundred thousand?”
“Yes.”
“I see.” After hanging up, Rose’s face turned even more unsightly. Over the years, she had been lining her pockets with the Green family’s wealth. However, they were merely a small pharmaceutical company. In recent years, they had begun to develop new drugs in hopes of expanding their market, and the expenses were huge.
Neither she nor her daughter were frugal, where could they find three hundred thousand in cash at this moment?
“Mom, don’t we have that fat bitch?” Ruby suddenly spoke up. Her uncle had just mentioned that the Piers family had given that fat bitch three million.
Rose suddenly realized that she had forgotten about this!
