Chapter 1313
Abigail jabbed Dylan in the shoulder, âI know you tricked Cornelia into stealing Brennenâs car before. Now Brennenâs been nabbed and youâre left with no one to lean on, and you want to con me? You think Iâm an easy mark, huh?â
âThat was a misunderstanding.â Dylan replied.
âWhat misunderstanding?â Abigail asked.
âAgree to be my girlfriend, and Iâll explain it all.â Dylan responded.
Abigail pointed to the door, âGet out.â
âBut Abigail, I really like you.â Dylan pleaded.
âDylan, I canât stand you! You make my skin crawl. Can you just not show up in front of me anymore, okay?!â She retorted.
âAbigail. Dylan said.
âIf you donât get out now, Iâm calling the cops.â Abigail threatened, cutting him off.
Abigail was a hotâhead, really hard to handle. And from her vibes, she didnât have the hots for him at all, so Dylan had to make himself scarce.
He co Hdnât force feelings. They took time.
Dylan had just left when Zack show up, âAbby, what are you peeping at?â
âYou remember Dylan, right?â She asked.
âYeah, what about him?â Zack replied.
âHe just left, I was spying on him. Heâs been waiting here for me for days, says heâs got the hots for me and wants to woo me.â She explained.
âHeâs got the hots for you? Wants to woo you? But you guys donât really know each other.â Suddenly, something clicked and Zack asked, âCould the Hartley family be up to something again?â
âYou think heâs trying to get to Nelly through me?â She asked.
âCould be. Either way, we canât let him get to Nellyâ Zack answered.
âZack, what if I pretend to take him up on his offer, see what heâs really up to?â Abigail said.
âNo way, Abby. You canât risk it.â Zack quickly objected.
âThey wouldnât do anything to me, right?â She asked.
âNone of those guys are good news. When I say you canât risk it, I mean it. Letâs wait until Nellyâs feeling better, then weâll tell her.â Zack stated firmly.
Abigail nodded in agreement, but there was a gleam of recklessness in her eyes.
After healing. Cornelia threw herself into her work completely. First, she and Hannah set up a womenâs selfâhelp group.
Thanks to Hannahâs clout, and the Duran family womenâs social standing, they made a big splash. Many influential women came forward to
support their group.
As the group gained traction, more and more women sought their help. In just one month, theyâd already helped a lot of people.
Corneliaâs work didnât suffer either. Her scriptwriting was going smoothly. After she sent the first draft to Foriver Entertainmentâs honcho, they were pleased and everything was looking up.
Soon, months passed and Christmas was just around the corner. Corneliaâs belly had grown noticeably, looking very round and heavy.
She felt worn out not only in daily life but even when sleeping. But seeing her belly grow each day and hearing the doctor say the little nugget inside was healthy, no matter how tired, Cornelia felt it was all worth it.
This morning, as soon as she woke up, Cornelia received a call from Hannah.
