Chapter 27

Abigail and Rebecca were staring heatedly at each other. They were both seated on the sofas opposite to each other in the main living rooms. The knives that were in their possession had been seized by Asher's bodyguards who stood between them, so that they had no chance to fight again.

"When my brother comes back, he will definitely teach you a good lesson." Rebecca could only try to intimidate Abigail by throwing threats at her but that didn't work either on Abigail.

"Oh! I can't wait!" Abigail shrugged with a cold face.

"You really don't think my brother would take your side, do you? Don't be delusional, Asher loves me the most, if he knew you dared to bite me, he would personally punish you." She yelled childishly, standing up from her sofa about to move closer to Abigail, but the bodyguards held her back.

"Is that so? If he hadn't spoiled you, then you wouldn't be so brutal and unreasonable, like a brat" Abigail said, she remained unmoving from the sofa, with her legs crossed and her arms folded against her chest.

Rebecca, who was just called a brat, jumped up immediately, "Who are you calling a brat? See if I don't make you eat your words..."

Rebecca couldn't even get close to Abigail as she was blocked by the bodyguards, again. "Don't you dare stop me, or when my brother comes back, I'll make him fire all of you,"

The bodyguards, however, were not like those servants who would be afraid of Rebecca's threats, they still blocked her way with expressionless faces. They weren't letting her get close to Abigail.

"Didn't you say that your brother pampers you a lot? Then why do your brother's bodyguards not even listen to you." Abigail spoke calmly, her eyes watching Rebecca. The more she looked at Rebecca, all she could see was a spoiled childish brat who was pampered way too much. She used to be like that too, but look at her life now. It's in complete shambles.

Rebecca growled and said, "Abigail, don't act so confident, I hope you haven't started deluding yourself into believing you and my brother are a real couple," Rebecca mocked, "When my brother comes back, he will teach you your place,"

Asher was at the door when he heard Rebecca's words clearly. He pushed open the door, quietly stepping in.

"You are just a worthless piece of junk. You should be grateful my brother took pity on you and married such a bitch like you who's father committed suicide, and mother is just begging to be put out of her misery. And your sisters," Rebecca chuckled. "Only the heavens knows if they are still alive, and even if they are, they must as useless and worthless as you are with absolutely nothing to offer—"

"Rebecca!" A loud voice boomed throughout the main living room, startling Rebecca who stopped talking. Everyone's eyes snapped to the door. But Abigail could barely look his way, she couldn't stop the tears that gathered in her eyes, hearing Rebecca's words. It was like a poisonous arrow to her chest.

The main living room became quiet, and Asher moved to the sofa between Abigail and Rebecca, taking his seat. He turned to Abigail who wiped away her tearstained face. "What's going on?"

Before Abigail could speak, Rebecca's voice sounded. "Brother, look she hit my face and bit my shoulder, it's bleeding..." Rebecca held on to Ashers's arm and started to cry.

Abigail was surprised at how quick she was to switch her mood, a second ago she was running her mouth without a care in the world, but now upon seeing her brother she started to fake her tears.

Pushing Rebecca away, Asher looked at Abigail with a warm gaze, "Tell me."

Abigail sent a cold glance at Rebecca, before turning to Asher. "She slapped me first, and then I slapped her back. I just wanted to let her know that I'm not her punching bag."

Rebecca chuckled, "That's all a fat, ugly loser like you can ever be, a punching bag"

Abigail couldn't hold back tears in her eyes, she buried herself in the arms of Asher and began to sob, "I have tried hard in losing weight, I also hate the way I look... "

Rebecca didn't believe what she was witnessing. Abigail had actually dared to jump into the arms of her brother and cry.

In the past, Abigail didn't dare to go near her brother at all, let alone cry in his arms. And also, Asher did not push Abigail away, instead he stared at Rebecca coldly.

"She is not fat and ugly. Don't ever call her that," Asher spoke in a voice so cold that Abigail was shivering just by hearing it, she didn't feel warm in his arms in the slightest.

"Apologize to my wife," Abigail froze, she couldn't believe Asher was asking his sister to apologize to her.

She wasn't familiar with the way he addressed her, so that was why it came to her as a shock when he addressed her as such.

Rebecca froze even longer than Abigail. Her brother who had always loved her, was asking her to apologize to a fat, ugly trash like Abigail.

She must have misheard it or her ears must have failed her. Rebecca was even more unfamiliar with the way Asher addressed Abigail because she had never once heard him call Abigail his wife.

"Brother, what did you say? You want me to apologize to her?" Rebecca asked in disbelief.

　
Abigail smiled at Rebecca like the happiest woman on earth, this feeling was too good to be true, Asher was on her side and not on his bratty little sister's side.

It was evident that Asher was judging the situation fairly, he knew who the guilty party was and it was his sister, Rebecca.

However, Abigail did not expect that Asher would go that far, asking Rebecca to apologize to her.

"Brother, there is no way I can apologize to this fat, ugly trash, look at my face, and my shoulder, it's all bleeding from her bite." Rebecca was yelling. "It's only right that this trash should apologize to me, no, even if she apologizes to me, I won't forgive her,"

Abigail immediately lifted her leg, showing Asher the wound on her leg. "Look, not only did she bite my thigh, she also used a knife to cut my skin, it really hurts so much..."

Asher asked the maids to bring the first aid kit and clean both Rebecca and Abigail's wounds. After the maids cleaned their wounds, Asher turned to his sister, "What are you doing here, Rebecca, don't you have anything to do?"
　
"Asher, these days I've been busy at the studio, practicing my dance steps and training my voice. I came to see you, but this fatty provoked me first. This is exactly what she did the other day when her car crashed into mine." Rebecca said,

Abigail scoffed at the lies Rebecca kept coming up with. Immediately, she retorted, "You were the one who hit my car first, oh no, that was your fourth brother's car."

Asher nodded, "Rebecca is clearly in the wrong for disrespecting you, how would you want her to be punished?"

Was this a question to her? Abigail's eyes were wide and round, Asher really wanted Rebecca to be punished for disrespecting her?

It was incredible, Abigail had thought that when Asher came back, he might order her to apologize to Rebecca instead because she was his own sister.

Abigail threw a glance at Rebecca who was fuming with rage. "I am not a heartless person, since Rebecca disrespected me in front of the servants and bodyguards, I want her to apologize in the same manner, in front of everyone,"

Abigail was very good at taking what she could get from the situation, she smiled to herself, watching Rebecca.

After nodding to Abigail, Asher called the servants and bodyguards to the main living room. His green eyes shifted to Rebecca, when everyone had crowded the main living room.

Rebecca was agape. She has to pinch herself hard to be certain she wasn't dreaming. "Asher, you can't be serious. You really want me to apologize to this bitch?"

Asher replied Rebecca back, "Do I look like I'm joking to you?"

"Never. I will never apologize to this fucking waste of human trash. I would rather die than to apologize to her," Rebecca yelled, furiously.

Abigail felt the sudden deathly chill that surrounded Asher. His green eyes were still on his sister, after a second of pause, he spoke unfeelingly. "Fine. Since you won't apologize, I guess you'll have to due then,"

As his words left his lips, Abigail was speechless. He really didn't mean that right?
