The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 495 I'll Run with You

Stella wasn't about to say sorry, no way, and she found a chance to hop into a cab.

Miles managed to slip away too. "Abby, Sebastian's a cop. What if he busts us? We gotta bounce."

Abby glanced at Miles, the guy who never took responsibility for anything. Her mom, Ava Jones, ditched him 'cause she couldn't stand him.

Right then, Abby looked at her family and thought they were all just dead weight. If she could shake them off, maybe she could finally live the life she wanted.

She remembered agreeing to let Stella and Miles be together. It wasn't 'cause she liked Stella, but 'cause Stella was a pushover. Plus, Timothy and Ellie had clout! Even as a teen, Abby knew she had to think ahead!

The MS Group was worth billions. She'd worked her butt off to get close to these relatives and wasn't about to let go.

Soon enough, Harold came out too.

He was on the fence about leaving, and a new plan popped into Abby's head.

She lied to Harold, "Harold, you should go too. If something happens to Ellie, Molly might lose it. I'll stay here and wait for Ellie's surgery to end for you."

The cabbie was getting impatient, and Stella yelled, "Harold, get in the car already!"

In the end, Harold jumped in the cab too.

Abby looked at her family, a wicked grin spreading across her face. "Mom and Dad, don't go back to the guesthouse. Get a train ticket for tonight and head home. Stay out of Zandonick for a while. Once I know it's safe, you can come back." Stella nodded. "Alright, we'll head to the train station now."

As the cab drove off, Abby's face twisted into a sinister smile.

She walked into the ER, her eyes landing on Zoey and Max.

She sat down and asked, "Zoey, Max, what should I do? My parents bailed. I just told them to apologize to Ellie, but they freaked out and left me."

Zoey was crying in the hospital, "It's all our fault. We hurt Ellie."
