In the dark room.
Abigail opened her eyes. She could still feel the sharp pain in her heart.
Not long ago, there was a knife stabbed there.
She could not forget the feeling of the sharp blade piercing into her heart. The dense pain drilled into her heart and pierced into her bone marrow.
Lying on the ground, her blood kept flowing out. It was getting harder and harder for her to breathe.
The last person she saw was Aqila, who was also lying on the ground with her eyes wide open.
Aqila was dead. Abigail pulled out a knife from her heart and stabbed it at her, choosing to die together with her.
Aqila was once Abigail’s younger sister, and she was also the person she trusted the most in this world.
However, it was her who squeezed out all of her value and wanted her life in the end.
Aqila had used her to get close to Harry McGrother.
She had used her to become a master painter.
She had used her to become a movie queen.
She had used her to develop the Walker Real Estate into one of the top five hundred companies in the world.
Aqila had taken all the glory in her arms. On the surface, she appeared innocent and harmless, but everything she had done had put Abigail to death.
Jealous of her talent in painting, Aqila used a trick to break her hand.
In the end, Abigail had no value. Aqila had poisoned her food and water with slow-acting poison.
Every time Abigail recalled something, her hand would grab tightly onto the bedsheet, and her heart was filled with monstrous hatred.
Aqila had destroyed her, stolen her family, and taken everything from her.
What about now?
Wasn’t she dead?
Why was she still living here?
Was it Aqila who saved her and wanted to torture her again?
Abigail calmed down.
No, Aqila would never save her. She had also killed Aqila, and Aqila was dead.
Only then did Abigail take a good look at the surroundings.
The dilapidated brick house, the moldy quilt, and a bed that was not even tall enough for her were very familiar.
“Murray family?”
Perhaps it was because she had not spoken for a long time, but Abigail’s voice was a little hoarse.
She clutched her heart. She would never forget this place for the rest of her life.
Because she had once lived in this house for seventeen years.
Everything that had happened here had become a nightmare that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Why would she come back here now?
Abigail’s brows were tightly furrowed.
At this moment, an impatient female voice appeared at the door.
“Damn girl! Why aren’t you up yet?”
“Let me tell you, if you make your sister wait for too long, I will not let you off!”
Danita wore an apron and walked in.
When she saw Abigail sitting on the bed, Danita became even angrier. “Why aren’t you up yet? You have a fever and have been lying on the bed for two days. Do you really think you are a young miss? Bah, you are just a cheap slut that I torture.”
Abigail was running a fever. Danita couldn’t bear to part with the money she had to pay the doctor to get the medicine, so she let Abigail sleep on the bed for two days.
Danita wiped her hands on the apron on her body. “She’s already here. Hurry up and clean up.”
Hearing this, Abigail’s heart sank, and her face turned cold.
It seemed that she had been reborn, back to the day she was brought back to the Walker family.
Seeing that Abigail had not moved, Danita became impatient. “Are you still waiting for me to serve you?”
A burning smell came from the kitchen.
“My fish!”
The Murray family was very poor. Danita had to count her days and eat fish every day. It was considered a relatively luxurious thing.
At this moment, the fish was burnt. Danita blamed it on Abigail.
“You wretched girl, you’re really unlucky. Nothing good has happened to you ever since you came to my house!”
Danita left while cursing.
Abigail got up from the bed. It had been two days since she had eaten anything. There was meat, vegetables, and white rice on the table in the living room.
Abigail couldn’t finish a plate of rice after eating.
During the seventeen years she had been in the Murray family, Danita was reluctant to give her food. Her stomach capacity was already very small. Even if she starved for two days, she could only eat a plate of white rice.
A man in a suit walked in and asked, “Is it done?”
Danita had already scooped up the fish. When she heard the man’s words, she walked out of the kitchen and smiled apologetically. “Right away.”
Once the man left, Danita glared at Abigail again. “Damn girl, hurry up.”
Abigail did not want to stay in the Murray family either. She returned to her room and simply packed her things.
She didn’t have many things, so it didn’t take long for her to pack them up.
Danita and the others were already waiting outside the courtyard.
When Abigail walked out, Danita fiercely warned, “You wretched girl, when you return to the Walker family, you must treat your sister well.. If it wasn’t for her, you wouldn’t have been able to return to the Walker family either. If she tells you to go east, you mustn’t go west! Do you understand?”
As Danita spoke, she was about to twist Abigail’s arm when Abigail swept a cold glance at her.
Danita was afraid and withdrew her hand.
She frowned. This Abigail had rebelled against the heavens, hadn’t she?
She pointed at Abigail and cursed again.
A hint of impatience flashed across Abigail’s eyes. She directly twisted Danita’s middle finger and said faintly, “You don’t have the right to scold me.”
Danita was in so much pain that her face twisted. She shouted at Abigail, “Damn girl, do you want to rebel? Don’t think that just because you’re the young miss of the Walker family, I can’t control you.”
The scream was ear-piercing. Abigail dug her ear and let go of her.
She bent down slightly and laughed softly beside Danita’s ear. “Don’t worry. I will settle everything with you, including your good daughter, for how your family has treated me all these years.”
After saying that, she took out a piece of candy, tore open the candy wrapper, put the white candy into her mouth, and got into the car.
“Damn girl, you’ve rebelled against the heavens, haven’t you? You’re really an ingrate! I’ve raised you for so many years, but you actually spoke to me like this. If it weren’t for me, you would have gone to god knows where long ago.” Danita was shocked by Abigail’s words, when she came back to her senses, she let out another round of curses, her saliva flying everywhere.
“Drive.”
Abigail ordered. She had long gotten used to Danita’s beating and scolding. She had never known why her parents would hate her. It was only after she was brought back that she realized that she wasn’t their biological daughter.
She and Aqila’s identities were swapped. Aqila enjoyed her status as the eldest daughter of the Walker family while she was tortured in the countryside.
After she was brought back, her so-called biological parents only saw Aqila as their only daughter.
The funny thing was that she had been humbly begging them to give her a little bit of love. Even the little bit of warmth that Aqila had released, she had tried her best to keep it.
Abigail sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window that was constantly retreating.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with coldness.
It wouldn’t happen again. She would never be blinded by this ridiculous warmth in the future.
‘Aqila, I’m back.’
When Abigail returned to the Walker family. The Walker family was eating dinner around the table.
The butler brought Abigail in, and the three members of the Walker family fell silent for a moment.
Sonya Fritzshall sized up Abigail. When she saw her outfit, she frowned.
“Sister.”
Aqila was the first to react. A smile appeared on her face. She put down her fork and walked up to Abigail intimately. She wanted to hold Abigail’s arm, but Abigail avoided her. Her refusal was very obvious.
Aqila’s face was stiff, but she quickly adjusted herself. “Sister, you must be hungry. Come and have dinner.”
After that, she ordered the servants, “Bring a plate and fork for sister.”
Abigail glanced at the dining table. Apparently, they had forgotten that she was coming back today. A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. Abigail walked over and sat down on the chair.
Aqila picked up a piece of meat for Abigail. “Sister, eat more. It’s rare for you to have such delicious food in the countryside.”
Eddie also said, “Abigail, this place is not like your countryside. You have to get used to the life in Makassar City quickly.”
Eddie had no affection for Abigail, this daughter that he had just picked up. The reason he picked her up was to marry her to a family of equal status and strengthen the power of the Walker family.
When he saw Abigail, the disdain in his eyes was obvious.
As expected, she had come from the countryside and could not make a name for herself. He did not expect Abigail to have much success.
Abigail ignored the hypocritical father-daughter pair.
She looked at the food in the plate and frowned.. She pushed the plate aside, stood up, and walked into the kitchen to get another plate.
