Chapter 212 Dogfight
Julian glanced at Alexander and said, “Sit down and wait.”
Then Alexander sat down.
Tony was annoyed and glared at Julian. Then Tony snorted and sat down.
Alexander’s phone rang again. It was from the subordinate in Horington.
Julian pressed the button and put it on speaker. The subordinate reported, “Mr. Parks, Bethany Langdon said that
she used barium to protect her flowers against bees in the garden.”
Julian glanced at Abigail and said into the phone, “Oh, protect her flowers against bees? Isn’t she afraid of poisoning
the plants?”
Abigail looked away to avoid Julian’s gaze. She was afraid that she would look nervous. Thus, Abigail changed her
mind and looked at Julian.
Abigail quickly looked away when she looked at Julian in his eyes. It seemed that his eyes could see through
anything.
Abigail felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Alexander asked, “Julian, what’s going on?” Hearing Bethany and barium, Alexander sensitively noticed that Abigail
had become the suspect again..
“We’ll have a result soon!” Julian said.
Alexander looked at Abigail coldly.
Alexander said inside, “I will kill her if she really tired to murder my grandpa.”
Tony looked at Abigail and questioned, “Why does your mother have barium?”
Abigail replied, “I don’t know. Maybe someone told her some tips. She likes to plant flowers. Maybe she uses barium
to protect her flowers against bees and mosquitoes.”
Abigail thought, “Mom said that she used barium for flower protection. Therefore, I can’t mention creating facial

Julian asked, “Oh? So no more facial masks?” His cold tone was filled with mockery.
“Barium can be applied to many fields,” replied Abigail Barton.
Tony shouted, “Did you try to kill your grandpa?”
Abigail immediately stood up and raised her hand to swear, “Dad, I didn’t. I swear, I really didn’t…”
Julian’s phone rang again. He glanced at Abigail and picked it up.
The subordinate who investigated the waitress reported, “That waitress confessed. She wasn’t an old man’s
mistress. Someone gave her 5 thousand dollars in cash and asked her to add something to the teacup. To
differentiate the teacup, the person used a blue pen to mark the edge of the cup with poison.”
Hearing this, Abigail’s face turned pale.
Abigail shouted inside, “It’s over. It’s all over!”
Julian glanced at Abigail and was going to check the cup he brought back.
The appraisal team immediately brought the cup over. They said excitedly. “This place is blue. It’s not conspicuous.”
Julian said into the phone, “Keep an eye on that waitress. No one can escape!”
Hearing Julian’s words, Abigail’s face even became paler. Her body was trembling uncontrollably.
Aiexander asked Abigail, “Is it really you?” Alexander glared at Abigail as if he was going to eat her. Julian looked at
Abigail coldly and asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
Abigail’s face turned pale, and her body was cold.
Julian made a call and gave an order to the subordinate in Horington, “Bring Bethany Langdon over here.”
Hearing what Julian said, Abigail panicked. She begged, “Julian, that’s not how it is. It’s not my mother’s
fault. My mother doesn’t know anything.”
Abigail tried to pull herself together to figure out a plan in her head. She tried hard to cover this with other lies.
However, her head was blank, and she could not even think.
Julian asked coldly. “Why do you want to kill grandpa?”
FLUMP!
Abigail could not take it anymore. She knelt on the ground, and tears were running down her face. Abigail said, “I
didn’t kill grandpa. I really didn’t. It’s not like that. Don’t misunderstand me. I was just…”
Abigail was incoherent. She could not think of a way to explain herself.
Slap!
Layla rushed over and slapped Abigail.
Layla was so angry that her body was trembling. She pointed at Abigail and shouted resentfully, “Abigail Barton, do
you even have a heart? Huh? How could you do that? Are you crazy?
“Grandpa is 80 years old. He is still trying his best to teach you how to be a good person. Even if he has said
something harsh, and you’re upset about those words, shouldn’t you take some time to reflect on yourself?
“It is fine if you don’t know how to reflect on yourself. I guess the most you would do is not show respect for
grandpa. However, I didn’t expect you to dare to kill grandpa.
“Why is Alexander so unlucky? How did he meet such a vicious person like you?
“It’s fine if you’re vicious, but you cause trouble to all of us!
“Oh my god, what a misfortune. As an old saying goes, an evil wife will destroy three generations of a family. You’re
such an evil wife!
“You don’t have a decent background. I’m okay with that as long as you can be Alexander’s good wife. However, I
would never think that you wanted to destroy this family.
“Look around. We have never had a peaceful moment since you married Alexander.
“How can Alexander be so unlucky? Wahh. Fortunately, grandpa is fine. If something were to happen, we can’t
sleep well for the rest of our lives!
“We have been through everything for decades. Since you joined the family, we can’t even live in peace. Alexander,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcall the police. Ask them to arrest this vicious woman. She deserves a sentence.”
Layla seemed to be so angry that she spoke without thinking. In fact, all she said was well-organized. Layla cried
and complained, expressing several meanings. First, it was all Abigail Barton’s fault. Abigail hated Samuel because
Samuel treated her badly. Second, Layla was not involved in this matter. She had joined this family for decades, and
Samuel had never been hurt. The family had been safe and sound for years.
Abigail shouted, “Mom, did you just throw me under the bus?” She knew that Layla was going to abandon her.
Abigail said inside, “Layla even asked Alexander to call the police. She even said I deserve a sentence. Why did she
do that?”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Abigail gritted her teeth and shouted, “Mom, you can’t
hide it anymore. Can you stop playing innocent? I don’t hate grandpa. Although he doesn’t like me, he hasn’t done
anything bad to me. I have no reason to hurt him.
“You think that grandpa is unfair to you. Therefore, you want grandpa to die. As long as grandpa dies, your husband
can return to the Parks Group and your son can take over…”
Abigail regretted so much doing that for Layla, thinking, “Layla Ziegler used me and abandoned me like trash.
“How could I trust a woman like Layla Ziegler?
“I must have been bewitched by her. Otherwise, why would I do such a thing?
“Even if Layla spoke up for me, I would not sell her out.
“However, I understood the situation now Layla wants to abandon me so she can get away from it. Nice try!”
Slash!
Layla slapped Abigail again. Layla was so angry that her body was shaking. She shouted, “Abigail Barton,
you hold a grudge against grandpa because he doesn’t like you. You also hate Julian because your disgusting videos
are exposed. You want to see Julian’s painful face of losing a family member. Therefore, you planned to kill
grandpa. Now everything you did is found out, and you are trying to get me involved. Are you a barking dog? Why
would I have waited until now if I wanted to hurt grandpa? Huh?”
