Not One, But Two!

Chapter 71

Sasha noticed him brooding, and she knew she had hit where it hurt the most. She coughed and pretended to look sad. "Emma's your woman no matter what. She gave you her virginity, and she had been with you for years. She doesn't ask for much. Abigail might be a great woman, but she still cheated on you when you were on a business trip. Emma didn't, did she?"

Jonathan looked even angrier, but he knew Sasha was right. Emma might be stupid, but she was loyal to him, and she cared for him a lot. He sighed. "What do you want, Mrs. Kain? Tell me. I have a meeting to attend soon."

As Jonathan finally relented, she quickly said, "Since Abbie has been really busy, Emma wanted to help her. She logged into her personal website and accepted a surgery case in Abbie's place. You know how close they used to be, and they shared everything, including money. Abbie's ID expired, but she needed a credit card to make her website, so she borrowed Emma's. It has been a long time, and we have forgotten about it. Emma accepted a request for Abbie this time and the client paid, but it was sent to Emma's account instead. Before Emma could tell Abbie, Abbie had already called the cops on her. She said Emma committed theft. That's baloney. We're a family, and her surgery doesn't cost much. Emma won't care about that kind of money. She's your fiancée. She doesn't need to steal from Abbie if she needs money, right?" As usual, Sasha bullsh*tted her way out of this mess.

Jonathan never stopped frowning ever since he arrived. He knew what kind of person Emma was. She loved money and was a simpleton, but he was fine with everything else. Jonathan thought it was possible for Emma to steal. Even though Sasha had a glib tongue, and even though he was overseas last time, he knew why she was arrested. "This is between them. You should see Abbie for this."

"I want to, but she hates us because of what happened five years ago. She doesn't want to see me. I came here to ask for your help. Can you convince her to not do this? We're a family, so she doesn't have to go that far. Emma hasn't used a cent of her money. It's still in the account. If she drops the case, Emma will give her back the money immediately."

Jonathan didn't want to handle the matter, but he was interested in seeing Abigail. He noticed that she had changed a lot over the last five years. She was no longer a sheepish young girl. Instead, she was confident and elegant, and Jonathan liked that. "I see. I'll talk to her when I have time," he answered, slightly arrogant.

Sasha smiled happily. "Thanks for helping Emma out, Jonathan. The police station is not a good place to be at, so see if you can meet up with Abbie as soon as possible."

"I'll call her right away." He took his phone out and called Abigail.

Meanwhile, Abigail tossed her phone onto the table after she called the cops. She drank some water and went back to sleep. It had been a tiring few days. She had to perform a surgery, and she was hurt. Plus, her gastric was acting up, and it was gnawing away at her. She was just a human after all. Not long after she slept, her phone rang, much to her chagrin. She looked at it. Jonathan?

She expected Sasha or Philip to call, but she never thought Jonathan would help Emma out. She smiled sardonically. Smart, Sasha, but it's no use. Do you think I'm still the same girl I was five years ago? She put her phone on silent mode and tossed the phone back to her table before she went back to sleep.

Jonathan frowned, annoyed that his call was ignored. "She might be busy, Mrs. Kain. Do you know where she lives? I'll see her myself. The longer this drags on, the worse it is for Emma."

"True. I heard that she lives in Allie's Garden." Sasha was envious that Abigail was living in Allie's Garden. Not even I get to live there. What makes her so special?

Jonathan was also surprised that Abigail was living there. "Allie's Garden? Are you sure?"
