Perhaps because they had shared ups and downs, Joshua didn’t leave him with nothing.
And Kenneth pulled out in time. Although he lost a lot of money, he got away safely. He still owns several companies and can still enjoy high-level treatment in the circle.
Everyone is happy, but Joshua, the biggest winner, is not without losses.
At a dinner banquet, Joshua hugged Annie, who was dressed fashionably, and appeared at the time as a formal fiancé.
Yes, this is his loss. Since then, Annie has become the only woman by his side, no matter where they are, they will appear together.
As for how long this relationship can last, it all depends on Kenneth’s performance. As long as Kenneth obediently and successfully broke down Albert’s Caunter Group, he would not care about marrying a woman who he has no feelings for.
For him, since Michelle, it didn’t matter who married him.
He didn’t choose to damn his father personally, just because his father never did it to him. He wanted to treat him in his own way, and let his father see what it feels like to have nothing!
“Joshua, let’s go dance.” With the sound of the music, Annie turned to Joshua beside her with a sweet smile, and demanded coquettishly.
Joshua nodded slightly, and slid her onto the dance floor. The two of them danced gracefully, startled a group of people.
“He’s so handsome.” A group of women cast their eyes on Joshua’s sexy body, and after looking him up and down, they exclaimed.
Annie’s vanity was greatly satisfied, and she simply nestled into Joshua’s arms, causing waves of unease around her. Those jealous women raised their little hands, pointed at her, and pointed her flaws out one by one.
Bill, who was standing not far away tasting the wine, watched this scene with a trace of sadness in the corner of his eye. He turned to look at Quinn, who had just returned from getting more drinks.
“They are so loving, what should Abigail do?”
Quinn took a gulp of wine like he was thirsty, shook his head indifferently, frowning, as if he was suffering. Finally, with an “ah”, he liberated himself from the distortion.
“I don’t think you should worry about these things, there are so many beautiful women in the world, how can you be so obsessed with this one?”
Bill seemed to not have heard it. The pain in the corner of his eyebrows did not calm. He took Quinn’s hand and instructed, “Help me to see Abigail and check if she is good tomorrow!”
This was not a request, not an inquiry, but an absolute order. Quinn looked at him unbearably, and finally nodded. “I really can’t figure you out…”
Annie was really happy these days. She had lived for more than 20 years, and has never been so comfortable during this time. Joshua suddenly changed a lot, he even accompanied her in and out of various public occasions, allowing her to show off.
Thinking about it, how many women would be envious of walking on the street with such an excellent and rich man! The person she dreamed of was finally hers, and her long-awaited vanity has been extremely satisfied, and she was so happy to enjoy the most beautiful scenery.
If she hadn’t seen Abigail, she would have thought she was extremely happy. At this moment, she began to feel a little upset.
Joshua still didn’t sleep in her bed, and refused to get close to her at night. Although he didn’t go to Abigail’s room anymore, the way he looked at Abigail was always so ambiguous.
Damn woman! Annie felt that Abigail was the stumbling block between her and Joshua, it was unpleasant but stuck there, it was annoying to see!
Joshua had given her the right to initially manage the Caunter Villa, she often yelled at the servants. Even if he was angry with Rowena, he never asked.
Great, this helps with the expansion of her rights in the Caunter Villa and the improvement of her status.
Of course, she has never wanted to give up using this privilege, and has been planning to use this privilege to make Abigail’s life like hell on earth!
At this time, Abigail was hurrying back from the backyard. In the past few days, Mrs. Caunter has caught a cold and always liked to lose her temper. Stacy has relied more on her, so she couldn’t wait to leave her there. As long as Abigail was there, she would run far away, using English as an excuse to leave her grandma to Abigail.
Abigail had to wait until Mrs. Caunter went to bed before leaving.
After being there for most of the day, she rushed back to clean the yard without time to eat.
After waiting for a long time, Annie finally got a chance. She walked towards her as the master of the house and threw the broom towards Abigail.
Fortunately, Abigail ducked so fast that it was not hit.
“Where the hell did you go? Are you really that lazy? What were you thinking?” Annie glanced around and pointed to the big carport outside, “Hurry up, sweep outside, and the backyard as well. Clean them all, you are not gonna have dinner if they are not clean!”
With her pointing, the entire outside part of the Caunter Villa belonged to Abigail to clean. Rowena stood aside, her face was not pretty, but she said nothing.
“Go, call those servants back and let her do it all alone!” Annie’s fingers almost reached to Rowena’s forehead. Rowena didn’t say a word, turned around and walked outside, calling all the servants back.
“Huh! That’s what you get when you are lazy!” Annie twisted her waist and walked away on her high heels.
Abigail picked up the broom, and swept the yard with an empty stomach resignedly.
“Has she not finished sweeping yet?” The sun was burning down, Annie laid comfortably on the sofa, looking at Abigail, who was working outside, and asked Rowena.
“No.” Rowena replied simply, with a trace of worry in her eyes looking at Abigail.
“Hmph, she needs to be exhausted!” Annie’s words were full of murderousness.
Abigail finally finished sweeping the entire Caunter Villa. She was panting, her complexion was so pale that she didn’t have any sign of blood in her veins. Sitting down by the flower bed, she didn’t even have the strength to raise her hand.
Stacy hurriedly from the backyard and saw Abigail, exaggeratingly exclaimed, “Why are you still here, Granny should have dinner, don’t you know? Come on, hurry up!”
Under the pull of Stacy, Abigail passively rushed to the backyard.
Reluctantly picking up the bowls and chopsticks, her hands were constantly shaking, and she missed Mrs. Caunter’s mouth several times. Her hand hurts so much. She had completed the task of multiple people alone. After all, she had hardly rested since morning.
Even Mrs. Caunter noticed her discomfort and whispered, “Abigail, Abigail is not happy, Abigail is not okay.”
Wiping away the cold sweat on her head, Abigail gave an extremely weak and comforting smile, even if it was just a smile, it would take a lot of effort.
“No, I am alright, there is nothing wrong.”
Bang!
When the noise was heard, her hands could no longer hold the small bowl, it was shaking, sliding down to the ground, falling to pieces, and a shocked Stacy came running from outside.
The thin eyebrows were raised for some time, and Stacy cried out unhappily, “What’s the matter with you? Are you bored of this work? Haven’t you been happy to be with Granny all this time? It hasn’t been long yet and you are already getting tired?”
Abigail had no intention of responding to Stacy’s scolding, she was too busy cleaning up the pieces on the ground, only Mrs. Caunter kept whispering, “No, no, you can’t scold Abigail, there is something wrong with her, something is wrong with Abigail.”
“There’s nothing wrong with her” Stacy kicked the pieces on the ground, and several bowl pieces flew toward the corner of the room. Unprepared Abigail failed to raise her hand in time, Stacy’s feet rushed directly to the place between her thumb and index finger, and it took a few sharp pieces, which plunged into her flesh.
“Oh my god!” A burst of pain came from her hand. Abigail couldn’t help bending her back, like a cooked prawn. After maintaining this position for a long time, she gradually relaxed her body, tightened her brows, and raised her hands.
The blood mixed with the broken bowl pieces, blurring the wound, only the biting pain showed that the situation was not good.
“Abigail, Abigail is hurt, Abigail is hurt.” Mrs. Caunter didn’t care about the inconvenience of her own legs, so she knelt down, almost kneeled into the broken pieces on the floor.
It was only accidentally, and Stacy’s cold eyes flashed unnaturally, turned around and took out an emergency kit from the room, and threw it in front of Abigail.
“Hurry up and take care of it, and then clean up the ground. It will be annoying to see you look like a ghost. If you are done, get out!”
Abigail returned to the front yard with a hand tied in gauze, and Annie was looking at her like a thief at home. Seeing her appear under the dim street lamp with a white face, her vicious face immediately looked even more evil.
“Where the hell did you go? The Caunter family doesn’t feed you for nothing!”
She quickly discovered Abigail’s injury on her hand, and the corners of her lips were pulled apart triumphantly, her words still mean. “Has the task assigned to you been completed? In addition to being lazy all day long, you also started to seduce men. What else can you do besides these! Oh, yes, you also always try to be a good person in front of Granny.”
Abigail’s body trembled because of dissatisfaction. She deliberately ignored Annie’s slenderness and answered the question directly. “It’s all… finished.”
Her body was extremely weak. If there was a bed in front of her, she would definitely fall on it and never get up again.
Wiping the sweat on her face, she felt the coldness of her body, as if she had just gotten out of ice water.
Annie didn’t want to let her go easily. She winked and called Rowena. “Go, check it out and see if it’s all clean.”
Then she turned and walked towards the living room.
Thinking that she was dismissed, Abigail walked with difficulty to her room upstairs, and was immediately stopped by Annie’s stern voice. “Your work is not done yet, do you want to run away from it again?”
Abigail’s body trembled weakly, her legs began to tremble as well, and she reached out for support on the stairs, barely stabilizing her balance.
Annie analyzed these behaviors as the result of anger, lowered her body on the sofa, and asked lazily, “What? Are you angry?”
“Oh, no.” Abigail took a deep breath, and then gathered a small amount of energy to answer her question.
“Hmph, you are not qualified at all!” What she got in return was sharp irony.
Annie pointed out her index finger and gestured towards her, “Come here.” As if calling a dog.
Abigail worked hard for a long time before turning around. She knew she couldn’t work any longer, otherwise, she would definitely die. It didn’t matter if she died, but, her baby…
“Miss Annie, my task is completed, I want to rest.” She straightened her back.
“Who are you!” Annie jumped up, pointed at her and yelled, “You are just a slave, a slave, a slave! Have you forgotten? We all hate you, and we can’t wait for you to die! Oh, and , my cousin, Michelle, you killed her. For a vicious woman like you, it’s not even enough if you died thousands of times. What the hell do you need a rest for!”
Abigail’s straight back gradually softened under the sound of Annie’s scolding, and a sense of guilt flashed on her face, she nodded, and agreed with Annie’s words.
“Go, get me a cup of coffee.” Annie turned and sat back on the sofa, stroking her chest, as if she was the most affected person.
