Julian glanced at Alexander and said, âSit down and wait.â Then Alexander sat down. Tony was annoyed and glared at Julian. Then Tony snorted and sat down. Alexanderâs phone rang again. It was from the subordinate in Horington. Julian pressed the button and put it on speaker. The subordinate reported, âMr. Parks, Bethany Langdon said that she used barium to protect her flowers against bees in the garden.â
Julian glanced at Abigail and said into the phone, âOh, protect her flowers against bees? Isnât she afraid of poisoning the plants?â Abigail looked away to avoid Julianâs gaze. She was afraid that she would look nervous. Thus, Abigail changed her mind and looked at Julian. Abigail quickly looked away when she looked at Julian in his eyes. It seemed that his eyes could see through anything. Abigail felt increasingly uncomfortable. Alexander asked, âJulian, whatâs going on?â Hearing Bethany and barium, Alexander sensitively noticed that Abigail had become the suspect again..
âWeâll have a result soon!â Julian said. Alexander looked at Abigail coldly. Alexander said inside, âI will kill her if she really tired to murder my grandpa.â Tony looked at Abigail and questioned, âWhy does your mother have barium?â Abigail replied, âI donât know. Maybe someone told her some tips. She likes to plant flowers. Maybe she uses barium to protect her flowers against bees and mosquitoes.â
Abigail thought, âMom said that she used barium for flower protection. Therefore, I canât mention creating facial masks with barium again.â Julian asked, âOh? So no more facial masks?â His cold tone was filled with mockery. âBarium can be applied to many fields,â replied Abigail Barton. Tony shouted, âDid you try to kill your grandpa?â Abigail immediately stood up and raised her hand to swear, âDad, I didnât. I swear, I really didnâtâ¦â Julianâs phone rang again. He glanced at Abigail and picked it up.
The subordinate who investigated the waitress reported, âThat waitress confessed. She wasnât an old manâs mistress. Someone gave her 5 thousand dollars in cash and asked her to add something to the teacup. To differentiate the teacup, the person used a blue pen to mark the edge of the cup with poison.â Hearing this, Abigailâs face turned pale. Abigail shouted inside, âItâs over. Itâs all over!â Julian glanced at Abigail and was going to check the cup he brought back. The appraisal team immediately brought the cup over. They said excitedly. âThis place is blue. Itâs not conspicuous.â Julian said into the phone, âKeep an eye on that waitress. No one can escape!â
Hearing Julianâs words, Abigailâs face even became paler. Her body was trembling uncontrollably.
Aiexander asked Abigail, âIs it really you?â Alexander glared at Abigail as if he was going to eat her.
Julian looked at Abigail coldly and asked, âDo you have anything else to say?â Abigailâs face turned pale, and her body was cold. Julian made a call and gave an order to the subordinate in Horington, âBring Bethany Langdon over here.â Hearing what Julian said, Abigail panicked. She begged, âJulian, thatâs not how it is. Itâs not my motherâs fault. My mother doesnât know anything.â
Abigail tried to pull herself together to figure out a plan in her head. She tried hard to cover this with other lies. However, her head was blank, and she could not even think. Julian asked coldly. âWhy do you want to kill grandpa?â FLUMP! Abigail could not take it anymore. She knelt on the ground, and tears were running down her face. Abigail said, âI didnât kill grandpa. I really didnât. Itâs not like that.
Donât misunderstand me. I was justâ¦â Abigail was incoherent. She could not think of a way to explain herself. Slap!
Layla rushed over and slapped Abigail. Layla was so angry that her body was trembling. She pointed at Abigail and shouted resentfully, âAbigail Barton, do you even have a heart? Huh? How could you do that? Are you crazy? âGrandpa is 80 years old. He is still trying his best to teach you how to be a good person. Even if he has said something harsh, and youâre upset about those words, shouldnât you take some time to reflect on yourself?
âIt is fine if you donât know how to reflect on yourself. I guess the most you would do is not show respect for grandpa. However, I didnât expect you to dare to kill grandpa. âWhy is Alexander so unlucky? How did he meet such a vicious person like you? âItâs fine if youâre vicious, but you cause trouble to all of us! âOh my god, what a misfortune. As an old saying goes, an evil wife will destroy three generations of a family. Youâre such an evil wife!
âYou donât have a decent background. Iâm okay with that as long as you can be Alexanderâs good wife.
However, I would never think that you wanted to destroy this family. âLook around. We have never had a peaceful moment since you married Alexander. âHow can Alexander be so unlucky? Wahh.
Fortunately, grandpa is fine. If something were to happen, we canât sleep well for the rest of our lives!
âWe have been through everything for decades. Since you joined the family, we canât even live in peace. Alexander, call the police. Ask them to arrest this vicious woman. She deserves a sentence.â
Layla seemed to be so angry that she spoke without thinking. In fact, all she said was well-organized.
Layla cried and complained, expressing several meanings. First, it was all Abigail Bartonâs fault. Abigail hated Samuel because Samuel treated her badly. Second, Layla was not involved in this matter. She had joined this family for decades, and Samuel had never been hurt. The family had been safe and sound for years. Abigail shouted, âMom, did you just throw me under the bus?â She knew that Layla was going to abandon her. Abigail said inside, âLayla even asked Alexander to call the police. She even said I deserve a sentence. Why did she do that?â
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Abigail gritted her teeth and shouted, âMom, you canât hide it anymore. Can you stop playing innocent? I donât hate grandpa. Although he doesnât like me, he hasnât done anything bad to me. I have no reason to hurt him. âYou think that grandpa is unfair to you. Therefore, you want grandpa to die. As long as grandpa dies, your husband can return to the Parks Group and your son can take overâ¦â
Abigail regretted so much doing that for Layla, thinking, âLayla Ziegler used me and abandoned me like trash. âHow could I trust a woman like Layla Ziegler? âI must have been bewitched by her. Otherwise, why would I do such a thing? âEven if Layla spoke up for me, I would not sell her out. âHowever, I understood the situation now Layla wants to abandon me so she can get away from it. Nice try!â Slash!
Layla slapped Abigail again. Layla was so angry that her body was shaking. She shouted, âAbigail Barton, you hold a grudge against grandpa because he doesnât like you. You also hate Julian because your disgusting videos are exposed. You want to see Julianâs painful face of losing a family member.
Therefore, you planned to kill grandpa. Now everything you did is found out, and you are trying to get me involved. Are you a barking dog? Why would I have waited until now if I wanted to hurt grandpa?
Huh?â
