Chapter 208

"You! Dr. Kain, it seems like you don't want to talk things over nicely with me!"

"Old Madam Buckley, I think you've got it wrong. Since the beginning, you're the only one who doesn'twant to talk things over nicely with me. I asked myself, and I have given you the respect you deserveas Greg's mother and my children's grandmother, but respect is mutual. When you used the kids tocontrol me, did it occur to you to speak nicely with me? In other words, if someone has taken Greghostage so that you'll agree to their terms, do you think they will have a good chat with you?"

Right now, Abigail didn't hold back her tongue anymore, and she didn't need to do so. Her childrenwere her only family, and she had gone through great pains to give birth to them. All these years, shewas the only one bearing the ups and downs, and now, Valerie wanted to cut off her ties with herchildren without even a modicum of respect; she even used money to threaten her. Money! Who didshe think she was?

Valerie was embarrassed by Abigail's words. Maybe it was because Abigail had been very respectful toher at the beginning, for Greg's sake. It was tough for her to accept it quickly when Abigail exposed herarrogant and flashy character.

"Don't go too far, Abigail Kain! It will be our family's misfortune if Greg really marries an arrogantwoman like you who has a sharp tongue. Since you don't intend to negotiate with me, we'll meet eachother in court then. I don't believe you can take away the children from our family. Five years ago, yougave birth to them without our approval. Do you know how much trouble you'll cause Greg in hismarriage and life in the future? Dr. Kain, leave now, and you can be sure I'll be suing you."

Valerie's eviction order had passed, and all traces of a smile disappeared from Abigail's face.

The last thing she wanted was to be enemies with the Buckley Family, but Valerie had gone overboardwith her ways today.

"You're going to a lawyer, eh? I can also do that, but I'm taking my children away today! I'm the onewho gave birth to them, and you said it yourself that you didn't even know about their existence fiveyears ago. So, who do you think you are to force your terms on me?"

Her assertiveness struck Valerie dumb for a second, but her expression twisted into something ratherunpleasant when she regained her composure.

"I would like to see how you're able to take the kids away alone," she said, clapping her hands once.

Immediately, several bodyguards walked in and surrounded Abigail.

"I know you're a good fighter, but a pair of hands can't outmatch four enemies. It will take you someeffort to take care of these people, Dr. Kain."

The last thing Valerie wanted to see was solving the problem with violence, but she was now put in atight spot since Abigail had pushed her limits.

The children should never follow Abigail and be exposed to danger. She knew the strength of HitmanIsland better than anyone else, and she would never allow her granddaughters to take this risk.

Unexpectedly, Abigail merely sniggered. "Old Madam Buckley, I guess, because of the strength andinfluence of the Buckley Family, you've forgotten that you're still a human. Did you really think thatyou're god and make all the decisions in Harrion?"

"What do you mean?"

Today, Valerie thought that the words that came out of Abigail's mouth were incredibly piercing to herears, and even a little infuriating. Although Valerie was fond of her, she couldn't let her take advantage

of her fondness for her like this.

Meanwhile, Abigail couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on her anymore. The fact that she couldtalk this much with her was because of Greg, and since they couldn't reach an agreement, they shouldskip all the talk and start the fight.

Abigail Kain had never been afraid of anyone, and she wasn't about to start fearing someone now.

Without another word to Valerie, she clapped her hands, and a few men in black with guns in theirhands appeared behind the Buckley's bodyguards. The guns had a silencer at the end of the barrel,which was all neatly aimed behind the Buckley's men's heads.

"Before I bring out the kids, shoot anyone who tries to make a move," Abigail instructed coldly andemotionlessly.

"Yes!"

The simultaneous answer instantly sent a chill down the spine, and Valerie was stunned.

With such an aura, who else can it be besides someone from Hitman Island? Valerie thought.

"How dare you lie to me, Abigail Kain! Didn't you say that you didn't graduate from Hitman Island?Then, how do you explain all these people? Are you the leader of Hitman Island now? That explainswhy you're not afraid of me. Does Greg know about this? How can you bring yourself to lie to my sonlike this when he's true to you? You're such a despicable woman! To make it as the leader, you musthave slept with many men, haven't you? Everything Troy said is true, but I was blind and thought youwere pure. I even purposely distracted Greg just so as not to embarrass you. If I knew this, I wouldhave let my silly child come and see the way you are now."

While she was shaking from fury, Abigail walked past her and wanted to go upstairs, saving the effort toexplain things to her. However, Valerie stopped her.

"Stop right there! A woman like you shouldn't lead my granddaughters astray. I must get custody of thechildren. Take your men and leave now!"

Until now, she still felt that it was very kind of her that she hadn't laid a hand on Abigail yet.

Yet, Abigail sneered unwittingly and struck her directly, knocking her out with a swift move and lettingthe people of the Buckley Family and Lisa, who had just come downstairs, witness it clearly, so thatLisa wouldn't scream suddenly.

"Dr. Kain, what did you do to Madam? Master Greg has always respected her since he was young.How is he going to deal with what you're doing?"

"You guys aren't worried about his reaction after all you've done to me, so what should I worry about?Can you please not have such double standards? You can go ahead and tell Greg what I did to her. Idon't mind." After she said that, she tossed Valerie to a subordinate behind her and said icily, "Myorders are the same. If anyone tries to stop me, shoot without mercy!"

At the moment, her aggression had reached its peak, and her bone-chilling indifference gave everyonea strong sense of oppression.

Lisa stared at the woman before her and didn't dare to make any rash movements. After all, Valeriewas still in Abigail's hands, and Lisa really didn't dare to take the risk in case Abigail really disregardedher relationship with Greg and wanted to kill her.

"Don't move, everyone. Let her go!"

If Alissa and Arianna were taken away by Abigail, Lisa believed that Valerie and Greg would haveplenty of ideas to get them back, but if they went head-on now, it might very likely lead to a bloodyscene.

Hence, Lisa made the order after deep consideration.

Abigail cast her a chilling look, and she staggered backward unwittingly.

Abigail ignored Lisa, went upstairs quickly, and opened the bedroom door only to see that the childrenwere deeply asleep. That explained why they had no idea about what was happening downstairs.

After a quick check on them, she discovered that they were given some medication that causesdrowsiness, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Despite that, she was very displeased.

The children were still so young, yet they were given such medication. Even though it seemed like itwas done to protect them from being affected and hurt by the affairs between the adults, did it reallyhave no effect on the children's health?

Because of this, Abigail had a lot of opinions about Valerie, and she left the room with one child in eacharm.

When she passed by Lisa, she asked curtly, "Who gave them the medication?"

"M-Me," she reflexively answered, stunned by her aura.

Abigail's eyes turned a few degrees colder suddenly. "Addison, break her left hand."

"Yes."

Of course, Addison acted according to order, and before Lisa had registered what was happening, sheheard a loud crack, and her left hand was broken.

Cold sweat broke out all over her from the shrilling pain, but she was too stubborn to make a noise. Ithadn't been one or two years since she started working for Valerie, and she knew how thesemedications would affect the children. At that time, Valerie didn't agree to let her do this, but she wasthe one who promised that nothing would happen to the children, so she handled this personally.

This matter, whether it was toward the Buckley Family or Greg, she had to provide an explanation forthem. Now, Abigail was considered to have given her face by breaking only one of her hands. But, atleast, she let her keep her right hand to continue serving Valerie.

At that second, Lisa thought that Abigail was a straightforward person who was true to her feelings, andshe couldn't help but doubt if Valerie had made a good decision to break up Abigail and Greg.

Is it really wise to make an enemy like Abigail by breaking them up? Lisa pondered.

However, Abigail couldn't care less what was in Lisa's mind, leaving Valerie's place with her children inher arms.

Addison personally opened the car door for her and watched as she placed the children safely into theback seats before asking softly, "I'll drive for you so you can take care of them at the backseats."

"It's fine. Take care of the things here. Give our men the order to retreat. Try not to hurt the Buckley'smen at the cost of our own."

At the end of the day, Abigail was a little soft-hearted. For Greg's sake, she had compromised a lot.Otherwise, given her personality, it would be impossible not to have a bloodbath today at the Buckley'splace. Also, she had ways to get out of Harrion safely, but because that person was Greg's mother, shetried her best to minimize the conflict and injuries.

"Got it."

There was no doubt that Addison would carry out her orders.

Abigail peered at Valerie's home and reckoned that she wouldn't ever return to that place in this life.Even if she and Greg had a future together, there was already a rift between her and Valerie, and itwould be difficult to get rid of that.

So, she turned her gaze away and focused on the road as she drove away, but she didn't know whereshe should bring her children.

If she went back to the Kain's, she would run into Sasha and her daughter, who were especiallyannoying with their incessant questions. If she went back to Allie's Garden, Greg would immediatelyreplace her; the last person she wanted to see now was him.

Right then, her phone started ringing. Despite her surprise at seeing the familiar number, she stillpicked up the call quickly.

"Teal? Why are you calling me at this time? Are the issues in your family settled?"

Abigail still remembered that Teal's treatment had yet to end, but because of her troublesome husbandat home, she had to return home early. Was she calling now because she was coming back to continuetreatment?

Once she recalled that she still didn't have a safe place now, she was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

On the other end of the call, Teal laughed and said, "It's not settled yet. Dr. Kain, I may need to inviteyou to my place as my guest for a period of time. I think it's better if you settle some things personally.Furthermore, aren't I supposed to start the second phase of my treatment?"

Abigail suddenly felt that she could see the light at the end of her long, dark tunnel upon hearing Teal'swords.
