Chapter 21: Being Criticized by the Scummy Father
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Without the Taylor mother and daughter, Abigail had a good sleep.
When she refreshedly went downstairs in the morning, she saw Lincoln Green with a gloomy face.
Before Abigail could get close, Lincoln Green growled.
Abigail lifted her head to look at this forty-five-year-old man, the biological father of the original owner of her body, and found the situation absurd. Yet, she wore an innocent look, “Dad, why?”
“Why? You have the gall to ask me why?” Lincoln Green was so angry that he could barely stop shaking, pointing at Abigail’s nose!
“Why should I feel disgraced?” Looking at the so-called father who scolded her without knowing the details, Abigail asked calmly.
“You…you don’t realize what you did wrong?” Lincoln Green felt his daughter was different, but he couldn’t pinpoint how.
Abigail shook her head, “What should I know?”
“Was it not you who had someone seek revenge on your Aunt Rose and Ruby, breaking their legs?” Lincoln Green grew even angrier looking at his daughter’s clueless face.
“Is that what they said?” Abigail pretended to be surprised, her charming eyes filled with disbelief.
Lincoln Green noticed Abigail’s reaction was not feigned, but out of habit, he still blamed her, “Could it be that your Aunt Rose and Ruby even slandered you?”
“Did they call the police?” Abigail sincerely asked, “If not, let Aunt Rose and Ruby report it. Breaking legs is considered intentional injury. Finding the real culprit can clear my name.”
“You… they didn’t report it just to protect you.” Thinking of the call he’d just received, Lincoln Green was furious.
“Dad, call Aunt Rose, tell them to report it.” Abigail was decisive.
Lincoln Green hesitated, looking at his daughter’s confident demeanour, and began to think this might be a misunderstanding. He dialed Rose Taylor’s number, saying he would go to the police station to file a report, then to the hospital.
After hearing whatever Rose had to say, Lincoln Green doesn’t press charges, but his gaze at Abigail remained filled with dissatisfaction. “Go to the hospital and apologize to your Aunt and Ruby.”
Abigail sneered internally. So, they were just going to convict her outright?
“Father, give me a reason.” Abigail stared coldly at Lincoln Green, dropping her pretense.
Lincoln Green shuddered under his daughter’s icy glare, “What kind of look is that?”
“The look that wants to know if I am your biological daughter or not.” Abigail sat down at the dining table and began to eat breakfast, not caring about the current situation—nothing was more important than nourishing her body.
“You… are incorrigible!” Lincoln Green was enraged, leaving with those words.
After finishing her breakfast, Abigail put on a hat and went to the small building in the back of the Green mansion, where the servants lived.
Before she even arrived, she heard the head of the house scolding, “You old thing, can you do your job? If not, get out, stop bothering the lady.”
“Almost done, almost done.” The elderly woman was murmuring submissively.
But the head of the house did not let her off. He kicked her in the back, knocking her to the ground.
Abigail heard the woman’s pained groan, and a surge of anger flashed in her eyes, “Who gave you the right?”
The middle-aged man in his forties was first startled, cracking a mocking smile when he saw it was Abigail. “Who do I have here? So it’s our Little Miss from the Green family.”
The tone was full of contempt.
This man was Jackson, Rose Taylor’s brother.
He came to work as a head of the house at the Green mansion years ago and was quite domineering every day.
The woman on the ground heard and quickly got up, “Abigail, I’m fine, you don’t have to bother about me, you should go.”
Abigail looked at Aunt Claudia, who was only fifty-three but looked as though she were in her sixties, and felt a pang in her heart. Aunt Claudia was initially the Taylor family’s housekeeper, and she came with Minnie Swift, the mother of her body’s original owner, to the Green family. After Minnie passed away during childbirth, Aunt Claudia chose to stay out of pity for the original owner. She was bullied along with the original body due to the original body’s weak character and was demoted from a housekeeper to a lowly cleaning maid.
“Leave? The cheeky bitch who hurt my sister and niece and sent them to the hospital, still thinks she can leave? I’ll beat you to death today, you fatty!”
Abigail sneered coldly. So, in this Green household, anyone could bully the owner!
