[ At Yan Family Mansion... ]
Abigail was spacing out in the garden area when Amara showed up. She dashed in her direction and swung her arm to slap Abigail. But her movement snapped Abigail back to the present.
Before Amara's hand landed on her face, Abigail managed to block her by grabbing Amara's wrist.

Amara winced in pain. This happened for the second time around. Who would have thought Abigail would be able to block her attack once more?
"Ouch! Let go!" She snarled at her. "How dare you do this to my family... to my Mom!" Amara blamed Abigail for what happened to her mother. Madam Lu was arrested and until now she was detained in the precinct. The police didn't allow her to bail.
"This has nothing to do with me. It's your mother's fault. She brought this upon herself." Abigail spat back at her. She couldn't believe that Amara would be shameless enough to blame her. The real Abigail was the victim here. She almost died. How could this woman blame an innocent woman?
"My mother only did it because she thought you didn't deserve the Yan Group! You contributed nothing to the company. So it is so unfair that my Uncle will give everything to you!" Amara refused to accept the fact that her mother was in the wrong.
Abigail just rolled her eyes skyward before letting go of Amara's hand. She rubbed her wrist and she almost cried from the pain.
"Bitch!" Amara cursed her.
"I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Just leave now before I lose my patience." Abigail already had a lot in mind. She didn't want to entertain Amara's tantrum.
On the other hand, seeing the sharp and indifferent look in Abigail's eyes, Amara was frightened. She stepped back, moving away from Abigail because she was emanating a chilly aura. When Abigail stepped forward, Amara anxiously moved back, maintaining a distance from her.
Abigail closed her fist and gazed at her with a cold sharp glare. She thought Abigail was going to punch her so she ran away from her, leaving the garden.
"Just you wait, Abigail! You are going to pay for this!" Amara shouted as she walked away.
Abigail just shook her head while clicking her tongue. "She is picking the wrong person. She is no match for me."

"Nathan has strong faith toward Monica... How did Monica manage to do that?" Abigail was still wondering how Monica played Nathan in her palm. He believed her. He didn't doubt her even the slightest.
"I have to find concrete evidence so that Nathan will believe us." Abigail was so determined to solve this puzzle.
"Damn! What if Monica is alive? I remembered hearing Vincent mentioning Monica's name when he was on the phone..." Abigail had this suspicion. But part of her was still doubtful. Monica died and she didn't miss her target.
'I have to look more into this and dig deeper. I have to get close to Vincent and gather more evidence.' Abigail thought to herself.
Abigail's mind was still lost in the train of thought when Nathan joined her in the garden.
"I have been looking for you. Why are you here... alone? Where did you go yesterday?" Nathan bombarded her with questions. He heard that Abigail visited the Xu Mansion. He was upset because Abigail didn't mention anything to him. He was now testing Abigail if she would be truthful to him.
"Honestly, I visited your father yesterday. I wanted to find out how was he doing. Though he was not sick, the old man was sad not seeing Ethan. I promise to bring Ethan to him... but I have to ask your permission first. This is the reason why I am here alone, contemplating how I will convince you to say yes..." Abigail managed to come up with some excuses. Her statement was partly true and partly a lie. She had been thinking about Monica and Vincent. However, it was not yet the right time to reveal this to Nathan.
