Not One, But Two!

Chapter 201

Chapter 201

It must be! Otherwise, why would Greg be going to punch in the boxing gym and even get drunk in the clubhouse?

When she thought of Greg's distrust of herself, Abigail seethed with rage.

Troy assumed he was right with his guess when he saw how enraged Abigail was. Therefore, he could not help but growl, "Abigail, you're nothing but a b*tch! If you dare to kill me today, Mr. Buckley will naturally learn about your true colors. I have recorded and saved the phone call about you asking to meet. If something happens to me, there will be someone to send this recording to Mr. Buckley. Do you think the Leynthall Family will let you go after how you treated Genevieve?! Let me tell you: the Leynthall Family has been waiting here in the hospital since you came in. So, you can just forget about getting out of this hospital."

He was a petty man who would let grudges fester like rot. Coupled with his sly nature, it was indeed a horrific combination. Since Greg punished him because of Abigail, it was natural for him to despise her from the bottom of his heart. Besides, in Troy's point of view, a woman from Hitman Island, such as Abigail, did not know the meaning of true love.

She's nothing more than a tool meant to be used to rake in profits for her betters. I knew it! How could Abigail have so much money at her age, and how could she become the best surgeon in the world? She must have gained those fortunes by leeching off wealthy men. Even if she could cure Old Madam Buckley's illness, it must have been pure luck!

Before he came over, Troy had already told Valerie that Abigail was from Hitman Island.

As long as Old Madam Buckley intervenes, marrying Greg would be an unattainable dream for Abigail.

Troy despised a woman like Abigail to the core, especially since she had interfered with his interests. For that reason alone, he disliked her even more. If this woman behaved herself, I would have thought twice before scheming against her. However, since Abigail had no such compunctions and decided to test me, I would never let her get off unscathed.

In the meantime, Abigail did not expect that Troy would actually be in cahoots with the Leynthall Family in order to threaten her. Hence, she involuntarily let out a mocking sneer.

"Do you think I won't do anything to you simply because you're someone who has worked alongside Greg as his assistant for several years?"

"Yes! I have been working for Mr. Buckley since I was a teenager. I was there with him through thick and thin! How can you, a b*tch, replace my position in his heart? Right now, Mr. Buckley is simply bewitched by you and indifferent toward me for the time being. Once he learns about your true colors, do you think he will still favor you? Dream on!"

The more Troy looked at Abigail, the more he felt that her beautiful appearance was no different from a siren call.

Initially, she was only a doctor who cured Valerie's illness. So, Troy was more inclined toward her despite thinking she was a mere nobody. Unfortunately, things changed when he discovered that she originated from Hitman Island. Greg even unfairly punished him due to his discovery. Therefore, it was impossible for him to even begin treating her as anything but a sworn enemy.

"Also, those two children of yours may not even belong to Mr. Buckley. They may be fatherless b*stards. You're a doctor, so it's easy for you to falsify a paternity test report. Mr. Buckley is enchanted by you and treats them so kindly. Are they worthy of his kind treatment? I've asked Old Madam Buckley to bring them to do another paternity test. Just wait, Abigail. As long as they are not related to the

Buckley Family, Old Madam Buckley and Mr. Buckley will utterly despise your existence," Troy mocked sardonically. He was so sure and confident with his words as though he had seen Abigail's ending.

In all honesty, Abigail was already exasperated at his attack on her character. When she heard that Troy was insulting her precious children and even brought this matter directly to Valerie, thus affecting the livelihood and well-being of her children, it would be an understatement to say that Abigail was genuinely infuriated.

"Perhaps you are doing this for Greg, but I'm very displeased with you treating my children and me like this. I, Abigail Kain, was never a petty person. So, if you don't offend me, I will naturally not cause you any trouble. But since you have treated me this way, I feel that if I don't do something in defense of my family, I would be an unworthy mother to my children."

With that, she abruptly attacked him.

Troy grunted in pain as a layer of cold sweat formed on his forehead because she had dislocated his arm in one swift movement.

Nevertheless, Abigail clearly figured this wasn't enough as she attacked him again and crippled one of his legs.

Finally, she kicked Troy to the ground, looked at him coldly, and said dispassionately, "You said you wanted to see my despair as Greg refuses to believe me, right? Since you're so confident that he would pick you, let's have a bet, hm? I will call him and we shall see just who he chooses. Me or you?"

After she finished speaking, Abigail didn't give a whit about Troy, who was groaning in pain on the ground, as she immediately fished out her phone and dialed Greg.

Greg was still busy at work when he received a call from Abigail.

"What's the matter, sweetheart?

"Come over to the second floor of the City Hospital at once!"

Abigail instantly hung up the phone without waiting for his reply.

The tone in her voice was awful. Although it still sounds as cold as before, I can still sense the difference. Did something happen?!

At the thought of that, he immediately called Benjamin. Alas, Benjamin didn't pick up his phone, and he was directed to voicemail.

In an instant, Greg's anxiety skyrocketed as terrible scenarios flitted across his mind.

So, he just about ran on the way to his car and ignored the trouble he might face from running the red light as he sped down the road to the City Hospital. Once he arrived at his destination, he followed Abigail's instructions and came to Anastasia's ward's door.

Since Abigail had an acute sense of hearing, she paused momentarily when she heard Greg's footsteps, then voiced out without prompting, "Come in."

He was stunned for a moment but still pushed open the door and walked in. As he gave the ward a cursory glance, he instantly saw Troy lying on the ground and being stepped on by Abigail.

Greg frowned slightly when he saw Troy's disheveled state. "What's going on?"

"What's going on? Mr. Buckley, what do you think is going on here?" Abigail tilted her head to look at Greg and smiled while she retorted. Yet, her smile was far from genuine as her beautiful eyes were filled with anger and mockery at this very moment.

He waffled at her tone of voice and even more so when he saw that the usually calm and aloof woman was utterly irked.

"Troy, speak! What's going on?" So, he stepped forward and interrogated Troy as a menacing aura exuded from him.

A dumbfounded Troy did not expect Abigail to be so brazen. I thought she would be afraid after hearing what I said and beg me to keep it a secret, but who would have predicted this woman would dislocate my arm and cripple one of my legs speedily, ruthlessly, and accurately? Besides, she didn't even allow me to nurse my wounds while waiting for Greg's arrival. Not to mention she stepped on my broken leg with both feet. The pain I'm in should have me in a dead faint, yet the amount of pressure she exerted on my injury is just right, making me unable to faint and move away from her.

Now she actually dares to call Greg over!

What is going on in this woman's head? Shouldn't she be afraid that Greg will find out about her ugly past and detest her? Naturally, it signifies Greg still had feelings for Abigail since he intended to conceal the matter regarding her involvement with Hitman Island. But won't he feel disrespected if she brings it up before me? Does she really not fear that Greg will abandon her?

Troy's thoughts roiled in his mind in a jumbled mess, yet he did not even know where to start.

Abigail snorted coldly as she looked at the pathetic man beneath her. Then, she directly punched Troy in the face as though Greg didn't exist. In an instant, a warm liquid gushed out from Troy's nose.

"Speak! Where did your eloquent attitude toward me earlier go? Didn't you say that Mr. Buckley is your backer? Now, your backer is here. Tell him exactly what you said to me a while ago. I would love to know if they are your words or his."

At that moment, Abigail simply felt a burst of fury surging in her heart and her head was about to explode. She was rarely this enraged, but this matter angered her immensely. It's unfortunate I already had sex with Greg a long time ago. I can't do it even if I want to check if Greg is the only man in my life. It's totally frustrating!

Greg had seen how Abigail was when she fought before, and he had also seen her losing her temper. Nonetheless, she did not look as terrifying as she was now when she punished Genevieve because of Amy.

Yet it seems that something Troy did had touched a sore spot of hers. What would anger Abigail to the extent that she even punishes my subordinate before me? Such behavior is aggressive indeed!

Still, Greg believed that Abigail had her reason for meting out such violence.

"Speak!" At that thought, his face sank as he ordered once more.

Since Troy had worked with Greg for so many years, he naturally knew Greg's temper. Now that he sensed his murderous intent, he could not help but say, "Mr. Buckley, I did it all for you. This woman is originally a female assassin from Hitman Island. She's a b*tch who slept around with plenty of men! She—"

Before he could finish his words, Greg kicked him away.

Greg didn't hold back the power in his kick, resulting in Troy's body hitting the wall harshly. When he fell to the ground, Greg lifted him again before he could even gasp due to the intense pain as he punched Troy on his already injured face, causing his facial injury to worsen as blood continued to flow from his broken nose.

"Do you think you have the right to spew irresponsible remarks about my woman? Have you forgotten about my warning? Don't you know the reason for your demotion? Let's get rid of your ability to speak since you can't keep your mouth shut."

As he spoke, a dagger slipped from Greg's cuff and aimed directly for Troy's mouth. Judging by his stance, he really intended to silence Troy.

Troy forgot about the pain the instant he panicked.

"No! Mr. Buckley, I'm doing it for your own good. You're the high and mighty Mr. Buckley and the dark emperor of Night Assasino! You can have any woman that you desire, so why do you insist on having this b*tch? Even though Miss Leynthall was two-timing you, she gave you her virginity. What does this woman have?"

Troy's remarks made Abigail feel her heart congested and uncomfortable.

I never planned to find out about Greg and Genevieve's past, but it galls me that I have to hear about this right now.

"Yeah, I'm a trashy woman who has slept with many men. So, why on earth is Mr. Buckley inconveniencing himself to put up with someone like me?" Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Even though Abigail's words were spoken lightly, they still hurt Greg's heart.

Troy said she's a b*tch who has slept with many men? At that moment, Greg wanted to kill Troy so badly. Regardless, it distressed him that he wanted to cry when he heard her describing herself like that.

"Stop talking nonsense, Abigail!"

"Is it nonsense? If it's nonsense, why did you go to the boxing gym in the daytime? Why did you head to Straqium Embankment to get drunk? And why did you let Genevieve have the chance to pester you? Wasn't it all because I was from Hitman Island?" Abigail asked, word by word. In fact, she even stood up with difficulty and looked straight at Greg.

My leg hurts, but the pain isn't as bad as my heart's. I'm not afraid of being misunderstood by others, but Greg condemned me without even asking me anything. Is this the love he referred to? So, this is his definition of love!

"No, Abigail. Listen to me. I can explain." After Greg finished saying that, he was a little bummed.

Explain? What's there to explain? Wasn't I feeling upset and having this thought too at that time? But why does it seem like Abigail has suffered a great deal of grievances now that I look at her state? Could it be that there's something wrong with the news? But—didn't Hugh also say that Abigail was from Hitman Island and her life story?

For a moment, he was flustered and didn't know how to react.

Abigail suddenly smiled when she saw through his emotions and how he dodged her eyes at her barbed inquiry. However, it was rather a wry smile tinged with bitterness.

"Greg, you think far too highly of yourself."
