Abigail's slap stunned everyone at the scene. In an instant, all of them fell silent. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Genevieve instantly went mad. "How dare you slap me? You're just a couple wrecker. How dare you lay a hand on me? I'll kill you, you shameless woman!"
She struggled to get up, but before she could do that, Abigail landed a kick on her and sent her crashing into the wall.
"Consider yourself lucky that I haven't exerted all my strength." Abigail pressed her lips together and gazed at Greg.
Greg was initially furious, but upon seeing that Abigail had made a move, he calmed down. Presently, he was standing on the side with his arms crossed, and he didn't seem to feel sorry for Genevieve one bit.
At least he's acting right, Abigail thought to herself. If the man appeared to feel heartbroken for Genevieve, she would dump him immediately. Now, it seemed that he had passed the test.
When she saw that Genevieve was unable to get up, she walked over and grasped her hair, forcing her to look up.
In a slow manner, she uttered, "How dare you say that I'm a couple wrecker? Greg had been wooing you for ten years, but you simply treated him like a fallback guy since you were determined to pester Cody and get married to him. Don't you think you're the evil one here? Moreover, Greg had already broken up with you and made everything clear. Now that we're together, who do you think you are to
get jealous of us? What's wrong? Do you think Greg is supposed to be your fallback guy forever, and that he doesn't deserve his own love and happiness?"
"Nonsense. It's not like what you've said. Greg and I—"
"Are what?" Cody's voice was suddenly heard coming from the crowd. He was just standing there with a glacial expression, and beside him was Gillian.
In an instant, Genevieve was stunned. Why is he here? No! I can't let him know how I really treat Greg. Otherwise, I won't be able to get together with him and marry him. At the thought of this, she subconsciously started crying and uttered, "Greg and I are best friends who grew up together. I'm just worried that he's been seduced by an evil woman like you."
"Is that so? In what ways am I evil? Have I killed your family members or dug out your ancestral tomb?"
Abigail was utterly savage, but her words were to Greg's liking. This woman is feisty enough!
Genevieve was trembling in fury. However, since Cody was around, she didn't dare to flare up. Therefore, she could only cry and say, "Cody, Greg—are you just going to watch this woman bully me and do nothing?"
"Am I bullying you? Who's the bully here? My boyfriend and I were just leaving this place when you suddenly barked at us and claimed that I snatched your boyfriend. Alright, you say that he's your boyfriend. Do you have any photos with him on your phone? When did you get together with him? Have you ever revealed it to anyone? Greg, she said she's your girlfriend. Is this true? Why don't we ask Cody about it? He's your best friend, and he also grew up with Genevieve, right? Cody, do you think they're a couple?"
Just when Cody was about to say something, Genevieve started screaming. "No! Greg and I are not a couple! We grew up together, and he's my best friend! I don't want to see him getting together with you.
I hate you! Are you happy now, Abigail? Isn't this what you want me to say?"
Her eyes were bloodshot as she dug her nails into her flesh. This woman is despicable! She knows that my biggest wish is to get married to Cody, but she's forcing me to make a choice in front of him. What else can I do?
Upon hearing that, Greg wasn't surprised as he had already expected it, and he knew that he shouldn't feel sorrowful over this woman again. Nevertheless, he still curved his lips into a mocking smile.
This woman… Was I blind? It took me ten years to finally see through her. Why did I even fall in love with her in the first place? Was it because she's beautiful? However, her beauty is only a fraction of Abigail's. Was it because she's gentle? She only treats Cody gently, though. Come to think of it, why did I even fall in love with her?
At this moment, he couldn't remember why he had fallen for Genevieve in the past or why he wanted to woo her. Now, he only found this woman to be deplorable. After walking over and gently pulling Abigail away from Genevieve, he brushed away the dirt from her clothes and uttered softly, "Just tell me if you want to attack anyone in the future and I'll do it for you. Let me have a look at your hand. Does it hurt?"
His words infuriated Genevieve. "Greg, she attacked me!"
"So what? She's my girlfriend as well as my daughters' mom, and she's going to be my wife. I always feel that I can't love her enough, so why would I even have the time to care about you? Even though we grew up together, we're all adults now, and you're supposed to know that men and women are different. Moreover, you're just my friend. You're not my mother, so what makes you think you have the right to stop me from loving anyone? It's none of your business. Genevieve, I'm telling you this—since we've been friends for a long time, I won't settle the score with you. However, you have to apologize to my girlfriend. Otherwise, I won't let you off."
Upon finishing his words, he took Abigail's hand and left the place. When he walked past Cody, he snorted. "How can you just watch her spout nonsense and do nothing? If you really want to marry her, let go of Gillian immediately."
When Gillian saw that Greg was incensed, she gently pulled his sleeve. "Greg, my good cousin, please don't get mad at him."
"I'll take my leave now," Greg said and left with Abigail.
On the other hand, Abigail was astounded. What? Gillian is Greg's cousin? What the heck?!
Meanwhile, Greg was still fuming. After leaving the hospital, they got into the car before he said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I must've been blind in the past to have fallen for such a woman. I never wanted you to go through all this."
"You said you were blind, so why should I settle the score with you? Moreover, I didn't suffer any losses," Abigail replied with a faint smile as the incident earlier didn't affect her one bit.
She was indeed displeased when Genevieve appeared, but she became cheerful after beating her up. That woman only had herself to blame for foolishly trying to provoke Abigail, who had no choice but to defend herself. Moreover, Greg's attitude was satisfactory, so she didn't feel aggrieved at all.
On the other hand, Greg realized that she was different from other women. She was a frank woman who had the courage to love and hate. Furthermore, she was arrogant in a way that was attractive to him. He said with a smile, "Regardless, you've been offended. How do you want her to apologize to you? I'll make her do it."
"Will she listen to you?" Abigail found it to be impossible.
Greg's lips curved into a sneer. "She doesn't have to listen to me, but her family won't allow her to be so willful."
His words startled Abigail. Judging from his words, it seemed that he was capable of harming the Leynthall Family. However, her family members worked in the military while Greg was a member of the underworld, so how was he supposed to lay a finger on them? With that said, Greg didn't seem to be pulling her leg. Even though Abigail was doubtful, she didn't ask any further.
"Make her do a livestream on Harrion News and apologize to me. Otherwise, I'll sue her for defamation."
Abigail randomly came up with an idea, but Greg simply agreed to it.
"Alright, it's decided then. In order to alleviate your grievances, we'll go shopping. I'll buy whatever you like, and take it as a form of compensation for you."
"What does it have anything to do with you? Did you tell Genevieve to slander me? Did you make her stop me from leaving? Did you teach her to say all that?"
Her series of questions stunned Greg. "No, I didn't."
"In that case, why do you have to compensate me for anything? You shouldn't be the one doing that. I don't want to go shopping. Let's go home since I'm exhausted. I'd rather stay at home and read some books on medicine at this hour."
The corner of Greg's mouth twitched when he heard that. "Hey, Abigail. Are you a woman? Are there any women out there who don't like shopping? Are there any women who don't like to buy stuff? Are there any women—"
"Of course. There's one such woman right in front of you. Aren't you fully aware that I'm a woman?"
Her words rendered Greg speechless.
"Alright, you win. Even if it's just a bag, I want to buy something for you. You're my girlfriend, and I just want to spend money on you. Will you please have mercy and grant my wish?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Greg found it difficult to deal with this unconventional girlfriend he had found as she was highly unpredictable. When Abigail heard that, she couldn't help but smile.
"I don't need anything, and I certainly don't need a new bag. If you're bored, why don't we visit Anastasia? I wonder if she has fully recovered."
At the mention of that young woman, Greg gave it a thought and uttered, "We don't have to go over there, but I know that you're concerned about her. What do you want to do for her? Tell me about it."
"Nothing. I just feel that she's a pretty kind-hearted girl. If possible, I hope that we can give her a hand."
Upon hearing that, Greg immediately understood her intentions. "Alright. Since she majored in finance, I'll tell Troy to get her a job. However, she'll have to prove her worth if she wants to stay in my company. I don't want to go to the hospital anymore. Why don't we grab some coffee instead?"
Greg had no idea how other couples went about their daily lives, but he just wanted to stay with Abigail.
However, Abigail shook her head and replied, "I don't want to drink coffee now. Why don't we go to your arena? I heard that you have one."
Greg became excited when he heard that she was interested in games. After all, most men loved playing games. When he was together with Genevieve in the past, not only wasn't she interested in games, she would also stop him from playing them. She said that games were a waste of time, and her words always dampened his mood. Now that Abigail wanted to go, he wasn't sure whether she was
sincere or what kind of goal she was trying to achieve. After hesitating for a bit, he asked, "It's only men in that place. Do you really want to go?"
"Don't you want me to go?" Abigail batted her crystal-like eyes. The sincerity behind her gaze made Greg unable to turn her down.
