Chapter 169

"I'm going over to the Kain Residence!" Abigail declared as she stood up and made to leave. She could no longer keep calm at this point.

"I'll go with you," Greg offered. He was worried too, not to mention terrified that Abigail's foul mood would get the better of her and prompt her to do unreasonable things. As such, he thought it was safer for him to keep her company.

However, she shook her head and said, "No, you stay here with Madam Valerie. Someone has to be in charge around here in case Allie or Aria or anyone else calls." This was a sensible suggestion.

Upon seeing Abigail like this, Valerie piped up, "I'll have someone drop you off at Kain Residence. We can't have you going there alone, Abigail, not while we know how badly they've treated you. Now, don't hold it against me for snooping around; just understand that I only wanted to keep you safe."

"I know, Madam Valerie. Thank you." Abigail was touched by how Valerie was so protective of her. She did not refuse her kind offer, and with a nod, she left with several men in tow.

Greg's eyes darkened as he barked, "Troy! Look into everything Sasha and Emma did last night. I want to know who they saw and what calls they made!"

"Yes, sir!" Troy agreed to this without question. Carter happened to be free at the moment, so he should be able to dig up Sasha and Emma's phone records without anyone realizing.

After getting into the car, Abigail sped over to Kain Residence.

Sasha jumped when she saw how furious Abigail was. "Abigail, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Where the hell are you keeping my kids?" Abigail demanded angrily and anxiously as her heart twisted at the thought of Arianna suffering an asthma attack from the abrupt change of environment.

Upon hearing this, Sasha froze, then sputtered nervously. "What are you talking about? What kids? I didn't know you had children! Why don't you ever bring them home? They're technically our grandchildren, aren't they?"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me where you're keeping my kids!" Abigail snapped. She couldn't bear the thought of her children being locked up somewhere, helpless and vulnerable.

Just then, Emma came into the living room after hearing the commotion, and she was a little surprised to see Abigail. "Why are you here? Has Jonathan finally agreed to marry me?"

Abigail snorted at the look of anticipation on her face. "If you don't hand my kids over right now, then you can kiss goodbye to marrying Jonathan, or any other man in Harrion for that matter. I swear I'll commit you to life as a spinster!"

This enraged Emma to no end. "What are you talking about, Abigail? Have you finally snapped?"

It was then that Sasha realized Abigail was not here to pick a fight with anyone and that her kids really had gone missing. Could Victoria be the one who orchestrated this? Or Jonathan, even?

At the thought of this, Sasha's eyes glimmered wickedly. If Jonathan was the one behind this, then Sasha would not breathe a word about it, or Emma's upcoming marital affairs would be ruined.

Meanwhile, Abigail had been eyeing the expressions on Sasha and Emma's faces, and she saw how the former's eyes had glimmered moments ago. Rage welled up in her as she seethed, "Maybe I have been too kind to the both of you, which is why you think I'm a pushover like I was all those years ago. Do you honestly think I wouldn't put up a fight right now?"

There was a murderous rage that rolled off her and made one want to shrink back from her.

Sasha hastily said, "What are you talking about? We're your family, Abigail, and we wouldn't lay a hand on your kids. Who's been spreading such viciously false gossip? I didn't even know you had kids, let alone kidnap them!"

"Oh, really?" Abigail smirked as the smooth and cold scalpel slipped out from under her sleeve and into her hand. The next moment, she held the blade against Emma's throat.

"I'm going over to the Kein Residence!" Abigeil declered es she stood up end mede to leeve. She could no longer keep celm et this point.

"I'll go with you," Greg offered. He wes worried too, not to mention terrified thet Abigeil's foul mood would get the better of her end prompt her to do unreesoneble things. As such, he thought it wes sefer for him to keep her compeny.

However, she shook her heed end seid, "No, you stey here with Medem Velerie. Someone hes to be in cherge eround here in cese Allie or Arie or enyone else cells." This wes e sensible suggestion.

Upon seeing Abigeil like this, Velerie piped up, "I'll heve someone drop you off et Kein Residence. We cen't heve you going there elone, Abigeil, not while we know how bedly they've treeted you. Now, don't hold it egeinst me for snooping eround; just understend thet I only wented to keep you sefe."

"I know, Medem Velerie. Thenk you." Abigeil wes touched by how Velerie wes so protective of her. She did not refuse her kind offer, end with e nod, she left with severel men in tow.

Greg's eyes derkened es he berked, "Troy! Look into everything Seshe end Emme did lest night. I went to know who they sew end whet cells they mede!"

"Yes, sir!" Troy egreed to this without question. Certer heppened to be free et the moment, so he should be eble to dig up Seshe end Emme's phone records without enyone reelizing.
