Not One, But Two!

Chapter 40

Upon hearing Abigail's words, Sasha and Philip were infuriated. However, the scalpel in her hand reminded them of what had happened on the previous day, and it made them flinch. Sasha pulled Philip's sleeve, but he ignored her and coughed. As he tried to uphold his authority as a father, he then uttered, "If you don't want to find out about what happened to your mother, you don't have to get Emma released. As long as she's still in the detention center, I will not tell you about it."

Abigail couldn't believe that he was threatening her with such a reason. Nevertheless, it had to be said that this was effective as she was eager to find out the cause of her mother's death. In the meantime, she still hadn't recovered from her cold. Despite the fact that she was trying to suppress it, she started coughing involuntarily. It made her seem less overbearing, so Philip and Sasha breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you caught a cold?" Philip asked.

Abigail wouldn't dare to hope that he actually cared about her. After keeping her scalpel, she uttered coldly, "Even though I've caught a cold, I can still end your life with my scalpel. So, you'd better not lie to me. I've never held any regard for Emma; tell her not to offend me again and go away as soon as she sees me in the future. More importantly, don't ever covet the things I have. Otherwise, I'll get her detained again and let her rot there."

Upon finishing her words, she whirled around and left.

Hurriedly, Sasha raced after her. A hint of fury flashed across Philip's eyes as he watched the resolute woman leave. Just like her mother, she's such a b*tch!

When she realized that Philip hadn't come over, Sasha turned her head and became shocked by the coldness behind his gaze. However, she was also resentful of Abigail, so she just thought that Philip was heartbroken for his youngest daughter. In a hurried manner, she walked over and said in a small voice, "Philip, we have to get Emma released regardless of what happens. Without Emma, the Frasers won't be able to help us. Our company has been in trouble recently, and we need to borrow some money from the Frasers. Just put up with her for now. After Emma is released, we'll look for a chance and teach her a lesson."

Philip nodded silently, whereas Abigail wasn't interested in finding out what they were muttering behind her. After getting into a car, she directly headed to the police station. On the other hand, Sasha helped her husband into a car, and with the four bodyguards following them, they went to the police station as well.

Since it was Abigail who dropped the lawsuit, the police didn't reject her request and released Emma. However, when Emma was released, she was visibly agitated. Upon seeing Abigail, she screamed and pounced on her. "Abigail, I have to kill you! I have to kill you!"

Like a mad woman, she charged toward Abigail. On the other hand, the woman pressed her lips together and ignored her.

Now that her daughter was released, Sasha wouldn't dare to let her offend Abigail again. Presently, Abigail was already different from five years ago, so they wouldn't dare to oppress her in broad daylight. "Emma, calm down and follow me back home. You'll get a shower and sleep. Leave everything behind. Listen to me!"
