Chapter 1342
Dr. Lester rushed over, âMarc, whatâs up?â
Jeremy said, âGet Ayden here.â
Dr. Lester answered, âAlright.â
In a while, Ayden arrived and immediately heard Jeremyâs stern voice, âWhere did you pick up that Goldie?â
Ayden said, âI paid a hefty price for a professional actor, didnât expect to fall into a trap. The Goldie I hired and the one who showed up today are twins. By the time I realized she was a fake Goldie, it was too late.â
Jeremy shot him a cold glance. Ayden wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, âBut the fake Goldie did a decent job. Cornelia probably didnât notice anything fishy.â
Jeremy said, âYouâre an idiot, but Cornelia isnât.â
Ayden asked, âWhat do we do now?â
Jeremy said, âCrack the Duran familyâs security system ASAP.â
Ayden said, âGot it.â
Dr. Lester said, âJeremy.â
But Jeremy wasnât listening at all. His cough was getting worse,
and
passed out again.
After decisively deleting Goldie, her nextâdoor neighbor didnât bother her
anymore. It was as if the incident from a few days ago never happened.
A few days later, Zack and Abigail returned home after the Christmas holiday. They first paid a visit to Cornelia in the Capital.
Abigail rubbed Corneliaâs swollen belly, âNelly, when are you coming back to Riverton? I donât, itâs gonna be tough for me to meet your baby.â
Cornelia replied, âIâm joining the crew tomorrow. After the completion of the film, Iâll return to Riverton.â
Abigail said, âThe shooting will probably take three months and will be completed around April. But your due date is in March. Arenât you thinking of quitting your job and focusing on your pregnancy?â
Cornelia chuckled, âYou gotta see things through, right? Besides, my first script has a big star like Hannah playing the lead role. Itâs a great boost for my future career.â
Abigail replied, âYouâve been revising the script until youâre almost insane, are you still planning to continue being a scriptwriter?â
Cornelia shook her head, âIâll quit scriptwriting and focus on my comics.â
Zack chimed in, âNelly, weâll clean your house every weekend. You can move in anytime.â
âOkay.â Cornelia looked at Abigail, âAbby, are you in love?â
Abigail shot Zack a look, âDid you spill the beans to Nelly?â
Zack felt wronged, âI didnât.â
Abigail complained, âSmelly Nelly, youâre messing with me again.â
Cornelia said, âDo I need to trick you? Youâre beaming with happiness. Itâs screaming that youâre in love. Spill the beans, who is it? Do I know him?â
Abigail said, âYou should.â
Cornelia asked, âWho?â
Abigail said, âDo you remember the name Dylan?â
Cornelia confirmed, âI do, clear as day. Is he your boyfriend?â
Abigail nodded, âNelly, youâre not mad at me, are you?â
Cornelia gently touched her face, âWhy would I be mad at you, you goof?â
Abigail replied, âBecause he once lied to you.â
Cornelia responded, âThatâs in the past. As long as he treats you well and you genuinely like him, nothing else matters.â
Abigail said, âInitially, I didnât intend to accept him or be his girlfriend. I got close to him hoping to get some news about your exâhusband. But he was very cautious. I didnât get any information from him. Instead, I somehow agreed to be his girlfriend.â
Zack chimed in, âI warned her, some people shouldnât be trifled with, but she wouldnât listen. By the time I realized she was being tricked, it was too late.â Cornelia said, âI have nothing to do with the Hartley family anymore. Donât do pointless things for my sake in the future.â
