Chapter 143 Everything Gregory Endured, She Must Endure Too
Faced with Gregory's indifferent expression, Elaine trembled inwardly. Nevertheless, she maintained a smile and joked, "What are you talking about? We're family—why bring up settling scores?"
Seeing her fake smile, Abigail couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Elaine, did you know that Olivia drugged my husband?"
Elaine's expression stiffened, and she covered her mouth in feigned surprise. "What? Drugged? How could Olivia do such a thing? It must be a misunderstanding."
Watching her clumsy and exaggerated acting, Abigail laughed. "Why not call the police and let them investigate?"
Elaine stood up from the couch in anger. "Abigail, will you only be satisfied when you see me suffer? Olivia just made a mistake..."
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized she had let something slip. She glared at Abigail in frustration. "You tricked me on purpose!"
Abigail looked at her, her clear eyes filled with coldness. "Gregory almost had a relapse last night because of the drug. Can you just brush it off as a simple mistake?"
She still couldn't forget the crazed look on Gregory's face when she found him strangling Olivia last night.
Henry had said that although Gregory was much better, such mental illnesses could never be completely cured.
If the patient experienced strong stimuli, the condition could easily relapse.
Thinking of this, Abigail wished she could kill Olivia!
Elaine glanced at Gregory, took two steps back, and shook her head. "No, that's impossible. Olivia said she only used a little aphrodisiac, nothing more."
Abigail sneered, "Nothing more? She can say that so righteously! Mrs. Grace White, this matter cannot be overlooked."
Olivia had previously faked illness and threatened Gregory with death to gain his sympathy. While Abigail had tolerated that, she could not condone this matter.
Grace's face was stern as she slowly spoke, "The White family cannot have someone with such malicious intentions. Call the police."
Elaine instinctively wanted to plead for Olivia. "Mom, you can't be so heartless. I love her like my own daughter. You're hurting me by doing this."
Seeing Elaine's tearful face, Grace sighed heavily. "If you knew this would be the result, why did you do it? Olivia is spoiled by you."
Elaine shook her head desperately, tears streaming uncontrollably. "Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't spoil her anymore. She just loves Gregory too much and took extreme measures. Please give her another chance!"
Grace turned her face away, not looking at her. "You treat her as a daughter, but she hurt my son. Why should I tolerate her continuing to harm Gregory and Abigail's relationship?"
Elaine knew she was in the wrong but couldn't abandon Olivia.
Olivia was Kieran's only daughter. If something happened to Olivia, Kieran would definitely resent her.
She pleaded bitterly, "Mom, just this once, the last time. I promise to keep Olivia in check and not let her make any more mistakes. Please."
Grace felt a bit of reluctance and looked at Gregory. "You have the most say in this matter. You decide."
Gregory glanced at Abigail and said coldly, "Call the police. If there's a first time, there will be a second. I've given her many chances before, but she didn't cherish them."
Olivia had repeatedly challenged his limits, and he could no longer tolerate it.
He just wanted to resolve this trouble quickly to prevent her from making more mistakes and affecting his relationship with Abigail.
In Gregory's eyes, any factor that hindered his relationship with Abigail needed to be eliminated.
Ignoring Elaine's pleas, Gregory picked up his phone to call the police.
Elaine, seeing his resolute attitude, somehow found the strength to rush over and grab the phone.
"No, you can't call the police. If Olivia goes to jail, her life will be ruined. I won't agree!" she yelled.
Unable to snatch the phone, she sat on the ground and broke down in tears.
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Finally, Abigail stepped forward and said, "She doesn't have to go to jail."
Elaine immediately stopped crying and asked in surprise, "Really? Are you really willing to let Olivia go?"
Abigail shook her head slightly and said, "If she did something wrong, she should be punished. Olivia must apologize to Gregory and promise never to bother him again."
Elaine quickly nodded. "Okay, I agree!"
As long as Olivia didn't go to jail, anything was negotiable!
Going to jail would ruin her life!
Abigail frowned slightly and said, "I haven't finished. Olivia must also endure everything Gregory went through."
Elaine glared at Abigail and scolded, "Abigail, how can you be so cruel? How can Olivia take that kind of drug!"
Abigail replied, "So Gregory should be drugged?"
Elaine opened her mouth but couldn't find a rebuttal.
In the end, she lowered her head in defeat, as if all her strength had left her.
After resolving this matter, Gregory sent his subordinates to find Olivia's whereabouts.
Elaine said Olivia was hiding, and even she didn't know where.
Gregory said goodbye to Grace, ready to leave with Abigail.
Grace originally wanted to keep them for lunch, but Gregory refused.
Gregory chuckled and said, "Mom, I want to spend more time alone with Abigail."
Grace laughed and waved him off dismissively. "Get out of here, I don't want to keep you anyway!"
Watching their interaction, Abigail also laughed.
Although Gregory was indifferent and not good at expressing emotions, Abigail could feel his care for Grace.
...
On the way back, Abigail curiously asked, "Since I can remember, Mom's health has always been poor. Did she not take care of herself when she was younger?"
Although Grace seemed imposing, her health was actually poor, and the White Manor's dining room was almost always stocked with nutritional supplements.
Gregory's face turned cold.
He said, "She was severely hurt by Mr. George White and also suffered serious health issues from giving birth to me. The White family owes her a lot."
Abigail's eyes widened slightly in disbelief, not knowing there was such a past. "Wasn't Mom from a good family background? And she's very beautiful. How could Mr. George White do that?"
She keenly noticed Gregory's expression was very cold when he mentioned George.
Gregory's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, and he sneered, "Men are greedy. They fall in love with one woman after another."
