Revenge After Prison Never Forgiven (Abigail) novel Chapter 77

apter 77

The Gibson family was wealthy. Truthfully, even Stephen disagreed with starving Abigail.

He thought, ‘Dani is innocent. How dare Abigail drag her down? If she wanted to compete, why not work harder instead of resorting to petty schemes?‘

“Enough talking. You grab the food. I’m checking on Abby.” Bianca set down her empty soup bowl and headed upstairs.

Just then, Daniella and Gabriel returned. “Mom, are you bringing Abby food?” Daniella asked the moment she stepped inside.

Gabriel’s face darkened. “A day without food won’t kill her. She survived hunger in the orphanage. Let this teach her a lesson.”

“Mom, I introduced Dad to the director today. The director said while the collaboration isn’t guaranteed, future projects will prioritize our company. Isn’t that great news?” Daniella spoke, walking over and gently holding Bianca’s hand.

“Kind of.” Abigail had no intention of sugarcoating the Gibson family’s actions. She needed food. Her stomach was gnawing itself hollow.

Pride be damned, and survival mattered more. She didn’t want to lose the job she had fought tooth and nail to get.

Abigail wasn’t sure if the pain was making her hallucinate. “Mr. Robinson,” she said in a hoarse voice, “please send someone to my house. Just this once. I’ll repay you with flawless work.”
