Not One, But Two!

Chapter 42

What the heck! Greg relentlessly called Abigail one more time, but her phone was still turned off. "Troy!"

As soon as he received the order, Troy immediately opened the door and entered the room. "Mr. Buckley, I've informed Mr. Miller about postponing the meeting. I—"

"No! Find out where Abigail is now. Why is her phone turned off?" Greg frowned with an impatient expression. Was that woman born to make things difficult for me?

Troy hurriedly looked into this matter. Just a moment later, he reported in a hushed voice, "Mr. Buckley, Dr. Kain is in trouble. She's trapped outside of Mortimer Village, and things are not looking good."

Greg stood straight up. "What do you mean that things are not looking good?"

"The other party didn't go into details."

After picking up the coat from his chair, Greg shuffled out of the room. "Get the car ready. We're going to Mortimer Village. Also, call Stanley and tell him to go there as well."

By the time he finished speaking, he was already outside of the office.

Even though there were many things that had to be handled in the company, Troy wouldn't dare to waste any time as he passed all the work to the vice president and called Stanley. Then, he followed Greg as they stepped out of Global Inc. After getting into the car, Greg called Abigail again but to no avail.

Meanwhile, Abigail felt speechless. She was ready to head back to the city and wait for Greg to arrange a meeting with her uncle. However, as soon as she got into the car, she was trapped in this place. A woman in her forties or fifties stopped her from leaving. "Are you looking for Adeline Mortimer?"

That was the name of Abigail's mother. When she heard that, Abigail nodded and stepped out of the car. "Yes. Do you know my mother?"

"You're really the daughter of that b*tch! Come on. Tie her up!"

Before Abigail could understand what was going on, she was subdued by the people brought to this place by the middle-aged woman. She wanted to struggle out of it, but a doubt appeared in her mind. Why is my mother despised by the people in this place? If this woman can bring me into Mortimer Village, I will be able to find out more. At the thought of this, she let them tie her up.

When she saw how submissive Abigail was, the woman snatched her phone and turned it off before hurling it into the ditch. "Bring her to the ancestral hall!"

Upon receiving instructions, the people around her immediately executed her order, and the onlookers around the memorial arch quickly dispersed. It seemed that this woman was authoritative.
