Chapter 179
Chapter 179
Abigail Barton felt as if she had been struck by lightning. As was if someone had filled her feet with lead, and she could not move. She stared at the black screen, not daring to blink. Her heart was thumping like a drum. She felt nervous, scared, and deep fear. She was afraid of seeing her face on the big screen. After another round of humming, the big screen returned to normal.
Alas, what she most dreaded to come, appeared.
As soon as the big screen returned to normal, the female lead on the screen was undoubtedly Abigail. Abigail’s face turned ashen. She felt as if her entire world had collapsed. She felt the world collapsing. Julian Parks was too ruthless! It was horrifying! She immediately looked at the male lead in the video.
It was pixelated. However, she appeared with no alteration or concealation; it was apparent she was the person on the screen! She wanted to rush backstage again, unplug the system, and stop everything there. However, her legs could not move at all.
It was fear!
It was anger!
It was regrets!
At the scene, countless men looked at her with teasing, playful, and ambiguous gazes. Some even stuck out their tongues at her suggestively, as if they wanted to ask her out. Countless women pointed and cursed. “Oh my god, this is too intense!”
“That’s how it’s like in a small place. Even if she’s a rich young lady, she’s no different from a prostitute. How cheap.” “It’s so disgusting. Urgh, I’m throwing up.” “The Parks family has really disgraced themselves this time.”
Alexander Parks’ face was as cold as ice. This was definitely the most embarrassing moment in his life. He glanced coldly at Abigail, clenched his fists, and walked towards the exit of the venue. He couldn’t stay there any longer. He was already thinking of a way to deal with the aftermath.
The man in the video was pixelated. His only way to protect himself was publicly declaring that his video with Abigail had been posted.
As for Abigail’s photos with other men, she was in serious relationships and had taken nude pictures with her boyfriends then but had no physical contact with them.
Only by making such a statement could he recover some of his dignity as a man. Seeing that Alexander had left, Abigail’s pupils constricted slightly as she quickly chased after Alexander. She was too ashamed to participate in the exchange event.
How was she going to talk to anyone with everyone pointing fingers and looking at her strangely? She was outraged, regretful, hateful, and aggrieved.
Now that things had come to this, she had to tell Alexander the truth. She had to stir up the conflict between Alexander and Julian Parks and make them fight each other more intensely.
“Alexander !” She chased after him to the parking lot.
Seeing that Alexander was about to get into the car, she immediately shouted.
Alexander glanced at Abigail coldly and disdainfully. He opened the car door, stepped into the car with his long legs, and started the car Abigail rushed over, and she immediately wanted to open the passenger door. The car was locked so she could not get in.
She hurriedly ran over from the front of the car and knocked on the window on the driver’s side. Alexander’s expression was cold. Abigail’s face was filled with anxiety as she continued to hit the car
window. Alexander stepped on the accelerator.
Abigail was almost sent flying by the car. She quickly retreated and staggered a few steps before stabilizing herself.
“B*tch!” Layla Ziegler had come out. She chastised, ‘My son is unfortunate to be with you.”
“Mom…”
“I’m not your mother. You’re a shame. Are you planning to stand here and continue to embarrass yourself? Get in the car!” Layla scolded coldly.
When Layla told her to get in the car, Abigail immediately got in.
She didn’t want to embarrass herself there. Alexander had ignored her, and she didn’t have a car to go back to At this moment, she was a little grateful to Layla. Even though she knew the real reason was that Layla dreaded that Abigail would continue to embarrass all of them if she remained there. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Layla pulled a long face and drove. Abigail did not dare to make a sound. She could only bite her lower lip and did not speak. “Are you dumb?” Layla did not hold back.
Abigail bit her lower lip again and explained, “Mom, someone slandered me. Those pictures were all technologically synthesized.”
Layla retorted, “Technological synthesis? Do you think I’m an idiot? I’ve lived longer than you. Do you dare to say that you didn’t have a boyfriend before Alexander? You’ve never been horny or shameless?”
Abigail lowered her head and said, “I did have a boyfriend called Benjamin Quigley. I told Alexander about this beforehand. He knew about it.”
Layla sneered and scolded, “Does it mean that if he knows, then you’re not at fault?” “I’m not saying that I’m in the right.” You still dare to talk back at me?” Layla looked over unhappily. “I’m not talking back.” Abigail was furious.
Layla said that Alexander was so unfortunate. Was it not true? If she could turn back time, she would never marry Alexander. She would instead marry Benjamin and be Mrs. Quigley. Although Horington was not as big as Jadeborough, at least Benjamin treated her well and thought highly of her.
“If I speak a sentence and you reply ten sentences, aren’t you talking back?”
Layla lectured: “This is modern times. Mothers-in-law are tolerant of their daughters-in-law. In ancient times, it would be the norm to beat someone like you who doesn’t have any upbringing and dares to talk back to your mother-in-law.”
Abigail thought to herself, “F*ck this mother-in-law, you damn b*tch. You’re a mistress. How dare you shout.”
“Are you secretly scolding me?” Layla tilted her head and questioned Abigail. “Mom, I didn’t.” Abigail wished that Layla was dead. She put on an obedient look.
“Hmph, it’s best not to. With your current situation, Alexander will divorce you regardless. With your reputation now, it’s impossible for you to remarry in Jadeborough. Many men just want to play with you.” Layla said. Abigail clenched her fists tightly.
She was immensely regretful. If she had known that Julian was so protective, she would never have provoked Annalise Barton. That’s right.
In order to protect Annalise, Julian showed no mercy to his biological cousin, Jessy Parks. How could he be polite to her? She did not expect Julian to have dirt on her.
As she thought of this, she felt despondent. She was disgruntled, angry, and sad.
She was treated differently from Annalise even though they were both married into the family. Annalise was doted on, yet she was humiliated. What wrong did she do?
Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. She really could not hold it any longer.
“Why are you crying?” Layla put on a look of contempt and preached,
“There was a celebrity who was forced to take off her clothes and had her photos taken. She told herself that one day, she would get back her dignity Later on, through hard work, she accomplished it! The most important thing is to work hard. It’s to change. It’s to change from being passive to active. It’s to control one’s own fate.”
Abigail looked at Layla with hopeful eyes and asked, “Mom, do you have any ideas?”
Layla said, “There’s one way, but it’s riskier. However, as long as you succeed, no one will dare to disrespect you in the future.”
“How?” Abigail desperately wanted to change the current situation
