Chapter 560 Abby Collecting Recyclables
Caleb, who was standing by the side, pragmatically agreed with Sasha’s words after which he nodded as well. “She’s right. Be careful because you might burn yourself.”
“You taciturn prick! You should pay more attention to yourself rather than commenting about my life. Your parents will find out about you and Abby soon enough. By then, they’ll surely break your legs!” Skyler was upset with Caleb, so he brought up Abby to take a shot at him.
Although Caleb was a police officer by profession, he originated from a wealthy family background and his family was well-to-do. A woman suitable to marry into the Shaw family would definitely have to be a wealthy debutante. Not only was the woman expected to be cultured and knowledgeable, but she also had to be able to hold herself well in front of people. Only someone from such a background would be a great match for the Shaws.
As for Abby, who had originated from the countryside like Veronica, she clearly was not a good match. Furthermore, she was a mute and still underaged.
“Matt has been able to handle his matter with Miss Murphy quite well, so why would you think that I won’t be able to handle mine as well?” Caleb expressed his annoyance with a thunderous expression on his face.
“I guess just by the fact that she’s a mute and she’s not even eighteen yet.”
“Shut up! I’m well-aware without your reminder!”
“Oho! The taciturn prick is upset! Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Looks like you’ve indeed fallen for Naruto. Ouch! That hurts! Why did you kick me?”
Skyler did not even get to finish his sentence when Caleb lifted his feet to kick him on the thigh. Gasping in pain, he started to yelp loudly.
“You deserve it!” Caleb left right after saying that.
After he left the hospital, he drove back home and somehow found himself approaching Abby’s apartment close to her school. He sat in his car and wound down the window to light a cigarette. Subsequently, he puffed on it silently.
Underneath the dim yellow street lights, she was dressed in black pants and a gray hoodie with her hair tied into two braids. She also had a make-and-cap disguise on, so she was completely covered up. She did not expect Caleb to turn up at this time of the day and neither did she expect him to successfully identify her with just a single glance. Ah. I forgot that he’s a cop. No wonder he has a knack for remembering faces and physiques.
Caleb tightened his grip on his steering wheel and his expression darkened significantly. After a brief pause, he opened the car door and got out to stand in front of Abby as he hollered angrily, “What are you doing?”
Just by standing there was enough to be hit with the stench from the pile of rubbish behind her. After all, this was a rubbish collection point for every resident staying in this area.
It was the peak of summer and the weather was high, so the stench was horrendous.
Abby shook her head and bit her lip. She lowered her head because she did not dare to meet his eyes and she looked like a guilty kid who had committed a mistake.
Watching her silence, his anger grew as he spoke in a serious tone, “I’m asking you, what are you doing here?”
