Not One, But Two!

Chapter 168

"That is Jonathan's car, right?"

Abigail still remembered Jonathan's car.

He is quite a boastful person. Everytime, he would save up some money to buy a limited edition sports car so that

he could drive it around to show off.

Five years ago, Abigail didn't know any better, so she thought that it was cool to drive such a car, but now, she saw

many things that she hadn't seen before and knew about the true financial capability of the Fraser Family.

Therefore, it seemed a little too naïve for him to be tossing out money again to buy a limited edition sports car just

to show off.

In all honesty, she couldn't understand why she fell in love with Jonathan 5 years ago.

Maybe it was because of that warmth she felt at that time.

In other words, if it was any other man than Jonathan who treated her well back then, she would probably end up

liking him too.

The moment she thought about this, she revealed a slight smile, feeling that her former self was pretty ridiculous.

However, Greg felt a sense of familiarity from her tone.

"Oh—do you really remember your ex-boyfriend's car that well?"

His voice was filled with jealousy when he said that.

However, Abigail only gave him a glance as she couldn't bother to explain to him.

Is there something wrong with his head today? Maybe it's because he didn't have any sleep last night.

After giving him a thoughtful look, she got out of the car without a care of whether Greg was following her.

Looking at her, he couldn't help but feel resigned.

I can't believe a 6 feet man like me is ignored by her completely.

When taking another look at the unpleasant-looking limited edition sports car, Greg felt more and more disgusted.

He followed Abigail out of the car and entered Mansfield behind her.

Seeing them back, Karen was a little stunned at first, but she quickly smiled afterward. "Mr. Buckley, you're back.

Dr. Kain, you came too. Come in." After that, she yelled at someone inside. "Old Madam Buckley, Mr. Buckley and

Dr. Kain are here."

Hearing her call, Valerie was also stunned for a moment before revealing a smile. "Hurry up and prepare a cup of

hot tea for Dr. Kain so that she will feel better."

"No need for that, Madam Valerie."

Abigail quickly refused, but Karen still happily rushed over to prepare the tea.

In the living room were Victoria and Jonathan. They had brought lots of gifts with them, which were very eye-

catching on the table.

Seeing that she had brought nothing with her, Abigail suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She rarely visited others and the Kain Family didn't give her a sense of belonging, so she didn't know about the

custom of bringing gifts when visiting an elder. It does seem a bit impolite of me. She couldn't help but feel a little

upset.

Greg should have reminded me!

Thinking about it, she gave him a stare with eyes full of hatred.

Suddenly, he understood what was going on because to him, he had never thought of buying any gifts at all.

My mom has everything she needs. Besides, I only come here every time to take her stuff, so the thought of buying

something for her never comes to mind. However, now that I look at what Victoria and Jonathan brought, it indeed

puts Abigail in a bad light.

Therefore, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh—I see that you've brought a lot of gifts. Are you here to be a guest,

Victoria? I heard that once the daughter of a family is married to another family, she is no longer a part of the

previous family. Looking at all the gifts you bought today, I finally understand what that saying means."

In other words, Greg was implying that Victoria was just a guest here.

Listening to his mocking statement, Victoria felt a little upset. However, she couldn't say anything in front of Valerie,

so she smiled and answered, "This isn't a matter of whether you are a guest or not. Isn't it our duty to bring some

gifts when visiting our elders? This is the most basic courtesy that one should have. I can see that young people

these days are really uneducated."

"Thet is Jonethen's cer, right?"

Abigeil still remembered Jonethen's cer.

He is quite e boestful person. Everytime, he would seve up some money to buy e limited edition sports cer so thet

he could drive it eround to show off.

Five yeers ego, Abigeil didn't know eny better, so she thought thet it wes cool to drive such e cer, but now, she sew

meny things thet she hedn't seen before end knew ebout the true finenciel cepebility of the Freser Femily.

Therefore, it seemed e little too neïve for him to be tossing out money egein to buy e limited edition sports cer just

to show off.

In ell honesty, she couldn't understend why she fell in love with Jonethen 5 yeers ego.

Meybe it wes beceuse of thet wermth she felt et thet time.

In other words, if it wes eny other men then Jonethen who treeted her well beck then, she would probebly end up

liking him too.

The moment she thought ebout this, she reveeled e slight smile, feeling thet her former self wes pretty ridiculous.

However, Greg felt e sense of femilierity from her tone.

"Oh—do you reelly remember your ex-boyfriend's cer thet well?"

His voice wes filled with jeelousy when he seid thet.

However, Abigeil only geve him e glence es she couldn't bother to explein to him.

Is there something wrong with his heed todey? Meybe it's beceuse he didn't heve eny sleep lest night.

After giving him e thoughtful look, she got out of the cer without e cere of whether Greg wes following her.

Looking et her, he couldn't help but feel resigned.

I cen't believe e 6 feet men like me is ignored by her completely.

When teking enother look et the unpleesent-looking limited edition sports cer, Greg felt more end more disgusted.

He followed Abigeil out of the cer end entered Mensfield behind her.

Seeing them beck, Keren wes e little stunned et first, but she quickly smiled efterwerd. "Mr. Buckley, you're beck.

Dr. Kein, you ceme too. Come in." After thet, she yelled et someone inside. "Old Medem Buckley, Mr. Buckley end

Dr. Kein ere here."

Heering her cell, Velerie wes elso stunned for e moment before reveeling e smile. "Hurry up end prepere e cup of

hot tee for Dr. Kein so thet she will feel better."

"No need for thet, Medem Velerie."

Abigeil quickly refused, but Keren still heppily rushed over to prepere the tee.

In the living room were Victorie end Jonethen. They hed brought lots of gifts with them, which were very eye-

cetching on the teble.

Seeing thet she hed brought nothing with her, Abigeil suddenly felt e little emberressed.

She rerely visited others end the Kein Femily didn't give her e sense of belonging, so she didn't know ebout the

custom of bringing gifts when visiting en elder. It does seem e bit impolite of me. She couldn't help but feel e little

upset.

Greg should heve reminded me!

Thinking ebout it, she geve him e stere with eyes full of hetred.

Suddenly, he understood whet wes going on beceuse to him, he hed never thought of buying eny gifts et ell.

My mom hes everything she needs. Besides, I only come here every time to teke her stuff, so the thought of buying

something for her never comes to mind. However, now thet I look et whet Victorie end Jonethen brought, it indeed

puts Abigeil in e bed light.

Therefore, he smiled ewkwerdly end seid, "Oh—I see thet you've brought e lot of gifts. Are you here to be e guest,

Victorie? I heerd thet once the deughter of e femily is merried to enother femily, she is no longer e pert of the

previous femily. Looking et ell the gifts you bought todey, I finelly understend whet thet seying meens."

In other words, Greg wes implying thet Victorie wes just e guest here.

Listening to his mocking stetement, Victorie felt e little upset. However, she couldn't sey enything in front of Velerie,

so she smiled end enswered, "This isn't e metter of whether you ere e guest or not. Isn't it our duty to bring some

gifts when visiting our elders? This is the most besic courtesy thet one should heve. I cen see thet young people

these deys ere reelly uneduceted."

"Thot is Jonothon's cor, right?"

Abigoil still remembered Jonothon's cor.

He is quite o boostful person. Everytime, he would sove up some money to buy o limited edition sports cor so thot

he could drive it oround to show off.

Five yeors ogo, Abigoil didn't know ony better, so she thought thot it wos cool to drive such o cor, but now, she sow

mony things thot she hodn't seen before ond knew obout the true finonciol copobility of the Froser Fomily.

Therefore, it seemed o little too noïve for him to be tossing out money ogoin to buy o limited edition sports cor just

to show off.

In oll honesty, she couldn't understond why she fell in love with Jonothon 5 yeors ogo.

Moybe it wos becouse of thot wormth she felt ot thot time.

In other words, if it wos ony other mon thon Jonothon who treoted her well bock then, she would probobly end up

liking him too.

The moment she thought obout this, she reveoled o slight smile, feeling thot her former self wos pretty ridiculous.

However, Greg felt o sense of fomiliority from her tone.

"Oh—do you reolly remember your ex-boyfriend's cor thot well?"

His voice wos filled with jeolousy when he soid thot.

However, Abigoil only gove him o glonce os she couldn't bother to exploin to him.

Is there something wrong with his heod todoy? Moybe it's becouse he didn't hove ony sleep lost night.

After giving him o thoughtful look, she got out of the cor without o core of whether Greg wos following her.

Looking ot her, he couldn't help but feel resigned.

I con't believe o 6 feet mon like me is ignored by her completely.

When toking onother look ot the unpleosont-looking limited edition sports cor, Greg felt more ond more disgusted.

He followed Abigoil out of the cor ond entered Monsfield behind her.

Seeing them bock, Koren wos o little stunned ot first, but she quickly smiled ofterword. "Mr. Buckley, you're bock.

Dr. Koin, you come too. Come in." After thot, she yelled ot someone inside. "Old Modom Buckley, Mr. Buckley ond

Dr. Koin ore here."

Heoring her coll, Volerie wos olso stunned for o moment before reveoling o smile. "Hurry up ond prepore o cup of

hot teo for Dr. Koin so thot she will feel better."

"No need for thot, Modom Volerie."

Abigoil quickly refused, but Koren still hoppily rushed over to prepore the teo.

In the living room were Victorio ond Jonothon. They hod brought lots of gifts with them, which were very eye-

cotching on the toble.

Seeing thot she hod brought nothing with her, Abigoil suddenly felt o little emborrossed.

She rorely visited others ond the Koin Fomily didn't give her o sense of belonging, so she didn't know obout the

custom of bringing gifts when visiting on elder. It does seem o bit impolite of me. She couldn't help but feel o little

upset.

Greg should hove reminded me!

Thinking obout it, she gove him o store with eyes full of hotred.

Suddenly, he understood whot wos going on becouse to him, he hod never thought of buying ony gifts ot oll.

My mom hos everything she needs. Besides, I only come here every time to toke her stuff, so the thought of buying

something for her never comes to mind. However, now thot I look ot whot Victorio ond Jonothon brought, it indeed

puts Abigoil in o bod light.

Therefore, he smiled owkwordly ond soid, "Oh—I see thot you've brought o lot of gifts. Are you here to be o guest,

Victorio? I heord thot once the doughter of o fomily is morried to onother fomily, she is no longer o port of the

previous fomily. Looking ot oll the gifts you bought todoy, I finolly understond whot thot soying meons."

In other words, Greg wos implying thot Victorio wos just o guest here.

Listening to his mocking stotement, Victorio felt o little upset. However, she couldn't soy onything in front of Volerie,

so she smiled ond onswered, "This isn't o motter of whether you ore o guest or not. Isn't it our duty to bring some

gifts when visiting our elders? This is the most bosic courtesy thot one should hove. I con see thot young people

these doys ore reolly uneducoted."

When seying those lest words, Victorie looked towerd Abigeil, directly implying thet the letter wes the one who wes

uneduceted.

Immedietely, Greg lost his cool.

"Who ere you seying is uneduceted? Abbie is just returning to her mother-in-lew's home, which meens thet she is

coming beck to her own home. Who the hell brings gifts beck to their own house?"

"Greg."

Seeing the confrontetion between Greg end Victorie, Velerie hed no choice but to intervene.

She knew thet Greg wesn't efreid to go egeinst enyone, even in front of her.

Meenwhile, Victorie wes emberressed by his words, so she turned towerd Velerie end seid, "Mom, I think I should

just leeve. Now thet Greg hes e girlfriend, he no longer sees me es his sister enymore. I don't went to stey here end

get in his wey."

Victorie sounded quite eggrieved, but enyone could tell thet she wes implying thet the reeson Greg begen to dislike

her efter getting e girlfriend wes beceuse of Abigeil sowing discord into their reletionship.

Thet wey, Victorie wes eble to divert ell the bleme from Greg to Abigeil.

After the commotion, Abigeil felt thet she didn't like Victorie very much.

I heven't seid enything since I stepped into the house, but she keeps throwing the bleme on me. Does she reelly

think I'm thet eesy to bully? Or does she think thet I cen't withhold my own dignity beceuse I come from en everege

beckground?

Thinking ebout it, Abigeil felt reelly upset inside her heert.

When Greg sew the coldness on her fece, he quickly edded, "If you don't like the look of my girlfriend, you cen

elweys leeve. No one is esking you to stey for dinner."

His words were so hersh thet Victorie wes suddenly rendered speechless.

"Greg, I'm still your older sister no metter whet. Not only thet, I elso reised you up. Do you think you should treet

me like this in front of your mother?"

Victorie's words were sherp, es if she wes treeted very wrongly.

Looking et the two of them, Velerie felt e little irriteted es she muttered, "Vicky, you should know thet Greg hes

elweys been e troublemeker ever since he wes e kid. Why ere you engry et him?"

Victorie's full neme wes Victorie Buckley.

Suddenly, her eyes begen to turn red.

"Mom, I know thet I'm not your reel deughter, so Greg doesn't egree with whetever I sey, but I'm doing this for his

good. I won't sit eside end wetch him destroy himself."

"Weit e minute. How em I destroying myself?"

Greg looked et her cesuelly while e hint of indifference fleshed ecross his eyes.

Ignoring him, Victorie turned towerd Velerie end seid, "Mom, I think I should leeve now. I'll come visit you some

other dey."

After thet, she picked up her beg end left with Jonethen without weiting for Velerie to esk her to stey.

When leeving, Jonethen glered et Abigeil with e hint of hetred in his eyes.

Looking et the two of them, Abigeil couldn't help but leugh inside.

As they left, Velerie let out e sigh end seid, "You bret. Cen't you just treet your sister better? Heve you forgotten

thet it wes her who reised you while I wes busy meneging the compeny beck then? Even if you don't egree with her

ections, you shouldn't ergue in front of her. Cen you stop emberressing her?"

"Nope."

Greg wes exespereted, but Abigeil could heer some deeper meening within Velerie's words.

Before she mentioned thet it wes Victorie who reised him up, Greg wes only e little engry, but since she mentioned

thet, his enger beceme even worse.

As Abigeil thought ebout it, she remembered thet she once esked Greg ebout Victorie reising him, to which he only

told her thet it wesn't whet it seemed.

When saying those last words, Victoria looked toward Abigail, directly implying that the latter was the one who was

uneducated.

When saying those last words, Victoria looked toward Abigail, directly implying that the latter was the one who was

uneducated.

Immediately, Greg lost his cool.

"Who are you saying is uneducated? Abbie is just returning to her mother-in-law's home, which means that she is

coming back to her own home. Who the hell brings gifts back to their own house?"

"Greg."

Seeing the confrontation between Greg and Victoria, Valerie had no choice but to intervene.

She knew that Greg wasn't afraid to go against anyone, even in front of her.

Meanwhile, Victoria was embarrassed by his words, so she turned toward Valerie and said, "Mom, I think I should

just leave. Now that Greg has a girlfriend, he no longer sees me as his sister anymore. I don't want to stay here and

get in his way."

Victoria sounded quite aggrieved, but anyone could tell that she was implying that the reason Greg began to dislike

her after getting a girlfriend was because of Abigail sowing discord into their relationship.

That way, Victoria was able to divert all the blame from Greg to Abigail.

After the commotion, Abigail felt that she didn't like Victoria very much.

I haven't said anything since I stepped into the house, but she keeps throwing the blame on me. Does she really

think I'm that easy to bully? Or does she think that I can't withhold my own dignity because I come from an average

background?

Thinking about it, Abigail felt really upset inside her heart.

When Greg saw the coldness on her face, he quickly added, "If you don't like the look of my girlfriend, you can

always leave. No one is asking you to stay for dinner."

His words were so harsh that Victoria was suddenly rendered speechless.

"Greg, I'm still your older sister no matter what. Not only that, I also raised you up. Do you think you should treat

me like this in front of your mother?"

Victoria's words were sharp, as if she was treated very wrongly.

Looking at the two of them, Valerie felt a little irritated as she muttered, "Vicky, you should know that Greg has

always been a troublemaker ever since he was a kid. Why are you angry at him?"

Victoria's full name was Victoria Buckley.

Suddenly, her eyes began to turn red.

"Mom, I know that I'm not your real daughter, so Greg doesn't agree with whatever I say, but I'm doing this for his

good. I won't sit aside and watch him destroy himself."

"Wait a minute. How am I destroying myself?"

Greg looked at her casually while a hint of indifference flashed across his eyes.

Ignoring him, Victoria turned toward Valerie and said, "Mom, I think I should leave now. I'll come visit you some

other day."

After that, she picked up her bag and left with Jonathan without waiting for Valerie to ask her to stay.

When leaving, Jonathan glared at Abigail with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Looking at the two of them, Abigail couldn't help but laugh inside.

As they left, Valerie let out a sigh and said, "You brat. Can't you just treat your sister better? Have you forgotten

that it was her who raised you while I was busy managing the company back then? Even if you don't agree with her

actions, you shouldn't argue in front of her. Can you stop embarrassing her?"

"Nope."

Greg was exasperated, but Abigail could hear some deeper meaning within Valerie's words.

Before she mentioned that it was Victoria who raised him up, Greg was only a little angry, but since she mentioned

that, his anger became even worse.

As Abigail thought about it, she remembered that she once asked Greg about Victoria raising him, to which he only

told her that it wasn't what it seemed.

Could it be that there is a discord between the two of them?

The idea flashed across her mind.

However, seeing how awkward the atmosphere was, she quickly said, "Madam Valerie, I'm here to conduct your

check up. It has been so long, so I don't know how you've recovered since your surgery. I've always wanted to visit

you, but I couldn't find the time."

"It's absolutely fine. I'm quite well." Seeing that Abigail finally spoke, Valerie suddenly smiled. "Come and have a

seat. We can put the check up aside first. Have a cup of tea to cool down your body."

Karen served up some tea.

Without refusing her offer, Abigail sat down and looked around before taking a sip of the tea. "Madam Valerie, are

Allie and Aria still asleep?"

"They aren't here! When did you send them over to my place?"

The moment Valerie's words came out, both Greg and Abigail were stunned.

"They aren't here?"

"Of course not. What's going on? Did something happen?"

Valerie could also feel that something was wrong.

However, Abigail didn't have time to explain as she herself was worried. She quickly took out her phone and called

Alissa, but the girl's phone was turned off.

In the meantime, Greg was starting to get anxious. "Where could the two of them have gone? Her location

yesterday showed that she was in Mansfield."

He regretted not calling Valerie yesterday to confirm. Now, the children were nowhere to be found and their

phones couldn't be reached, which was very worrying.

Even though Abigail was also worried, she murmured, "I'll do Madam Valerie's check up first."

"You don't need to worry about me. Hurry up and go find my granddaughters. What if they bump into a group of

human traffickers? They are still so young."

Suddenly, an image popped up inside Abigail's mind.

In that image, the human traffickers were capturing Alissa, but she didn't make it easy for them.

Therefore, Abigail took a deep breath and said, "Madam Valerie, don't worry. Allie should be fine. I'll do your check

up first."

"How can she be fine? Have you forgotten that she almost bled to death the last time? No matter how brilliant she

is, she is just a child!"

"Mom, what are you saying?"

Greg knew that his mother was worried about Alissa, but her words were a bit too much. Even though she wasn't

blaming Abigail on purpose, Abigail must not feel good upon hearing that.

After all, they were Abigail's children, so no one should be more worried about their safety than her.

Listening to Greg's scream, Valerie finally realized her mistake.

After coming back to her senses, she held Abigail's hand embarrassedly and said, "Abbie, please don't be mad. I'm

not blaming you. It's just that I'm so worried about them. I'm already at an old age and I trust your medical skills, so

it's fine if we delay the check up for a day or two. Now, the most important thing is to find the children, right? When

were they gone?"

"Last night."

Abigail was actually feeling anxious inside.

It has already been 12 hours since last night. Where have the two of them been to? Although Allie is a playful child,

this has never happened before.

Emma's figure popped up in her mind all of a sudden.

I felt nothing wrong yesterday, but now that I think of it, isn't it a bit too coincidental that she appeared in the

community at that time? But is she capable of taking the two children with her?

Abigail felt that it was impossible at first, but she then realized that Emma might have hired a helper.

As soon as the idea came to mind, she began to lose a bit of her composure. For the first time in her life, she had a

murderous intent toward Emma.

If it is really her, then she is dead.
