Chapter 119
In the study, Gabriel’s expression was gum. “Dad, have you ever wondered why we treat Abigail this way? What parents don’t last therrean d
You framed Stephen and sent him to prison in your place,” Wyatt shot back with contempt. “I don’t see much love for your kids there either a
Gabriel’s lips tightened at the barb. He suppressed his rising anger and continued, “Look, we have our reasons for treating her like this. But what you did to Dani today you really broke her heart.”
“Don’t give me that crap. What’s the deal? Were those test results from back then fake? If they were fake, then show me proof. And what’s so hard about getting new tests done?” Wyatt stared him down.
“We already ran tests before. It was because of those tests that we-
Wyatt cut him off impatiently. “I want to see you go to the hospital with my own eyes. I want the results right there on the spot!”
“Are you saying someone falsified the results?” Gabriel’s anger cooled, and his voice became calmer.
Wyatt didn’t answer. He just turned and walked out.
After her shower, Abigail lay in bed and sent Sebastian a message..
Abigail: [Thank you for everything with Grandpa.]
She hit send and stared up at the ceiling, thinking about the conversation between Gabriel and Wyatt. She was starting to piece things together.
All her feelings of being unwelcome suddenly made sense. ‘Am I going to lose Grandpa’s approval right after I finally got it?‘ Abigail wondered.
Abigail didn’t really care how the rest of the Gibson family treated her, but if Wyatt started taking Daniella’s side too, she knew it would really hurt.
The next day, Abigail woke up to find the housekeeper had already brought her clothes. She got dressed and left her room, only to run straight into Christian in the hallway.
Christian looked her up and down in his pajamas, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Sleep well in Dani’s room? Here I thought you had some backbone, but turns out you only ran away over a bedroom.”
Abigail was about to snap back when Stephen came out of another room. “Chris, Dani took her room and turned it into a walk–in closet. Now it’s back where it belongs. What’s the problem?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Christian had bailed him out of lockup late last night, and instead of being grateful, Stephen was now siding with Abigail against Daniella.
Stephen shrugged. “I’m just being fair. Is that a problem?”
“Stevie, you know who grew up with us. She’s the one who-”
“Enough. Just because we grew up together doesn’t mean we get to gang up on the new kid. If we can’t handle having her here, then we shouldn’t have brought her back. But if she’s family, why are we all bullying her?”
“I don’t need you telling me what to do.” Abigail’s face was cold as she walked right past Christian.
