Chapter 93 I Will Crush Annalise
When Julian saw Abigail’s red face, he knew that she must have been humiliated by Annie or John. Haha!
Alexander was surprised to see Abigail. “Why did you come out?”
“I came out for something. Alexander, please come with me.” After saying that, Abigail took the lead and walked towards the elevator. She did not even bother to take off her white coat.
Alexander followed Abigail into the elevator.
There were many people in the elevator, so Abigail couldn’t say anything.
After going straight down to the first floor, she walked straight to the parking lot. After getting into the car, she said, “Do you know who Jonathan Woods is?”
“Stop making me guess,” Alexander said impatiently.
Abigail said right away, “He’s Annalise’s godbrother, lan…”
“That’s impossible!” Alexander interrupted.
How could such a young man be Jonathan Woods? Jonathan was a 51-year-old man.
He recalled the time he ate at his grandfather’s. When the man introduced himself, he said, “I am Jo… lan Lawrence Princeville Village.”
There was a pause after he said the word “Jo”.
So, was lan Lawrence really Jonathan Woods?
Damn it!
At that time, Alexander had an opportunity to get close to Jonathan, but he did not put it to good use.
Fortunately, he did not offend Jonathan.
Suddenly, he looked at Abigail with a cold expression.
“Alexander, what… what’s wrong?” Abigail asked anxiously.
Alexander narrowed his eyes. “So, Jonathan chased you out of the operating theater?”
Abigail’s eyes flickered rapidly. “No, he did not.”
“Tell me the truth!” Alexander’s voice suddenly became stern.
Abigail lowered her head. “He said that the operating theater is too small to accommodate that many people. The light was blocked.”
Alexander sneered. “There are so many people in the room. No one else needed to come out but you? You were the one who spent a million dollars to get in there. Tell me, how did you offend him?”
“I didn’t offend him. It’s Annalise who didn’t like me. She said there was no need for so many people to be in the operating theater. Then, she told me to leave.” Abigail immediately blamed Annalise.
In Alexander’s opinion, Abigail’s explanation was still reasonable.
Alexander suddenly smiled. He was smiling, but his smile sent a chill up Abigail’s spine. He said, “Abbie, tell me, why is this happening? You’re the Bartons’ precious daughter. You’ve enjoyed all the best resources since you were young. The Barton family trained you in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Annalise is a bumpkin who was left to rot in a village in the countryside. Her mother is dead, and her father is unknown. Why are you always the one who loses to her? Why do I have to be embarrassed by you every time? Tell me, why do I need to keep someone like you?”
Abigail was so frightened. Fear was written all over her face. She didn’t dare to make eye contact with Alexander. She quickly weighed her current situation in her mind.
If she still lived in Horington, marrying Benjamin Quigley would be the best outcome of her life.
He did not even dare to anticipate what was going to happen. He was afraid Abigail would be crushed by Annalise again in the future.
Did she think that she only embarrassed herself?
Wrong!
She also embarrassed Alexander!
As if she could read Alexander’s mind, Abigail continued, “Alexander, trust me. I will perform well during the showcase. You can’t always rely on luck for everything in life. In the end, it all boils down to a person’s strength. Just like you and Julian. Strength will decide who wins in the end!”
Alexander said indifferently, “Give your best when you prepare the presentation slides for the showcase. Think about how to repair your relationship with Jonathan.”
He thought for a moment and felt that some things did not match what Annalise said. Previously, she said that the Energizing Pills were given to her by an old man two to three years ago.
However, when Alexander was eating at the same table as Jonathan, he heard Annalise chatting with Jonathan. They seemed very familiar with each other. Jonathan caught fish for Annalise and asked Annalise to make pickled vegetables for him once.
Was it possible that all those happened in the past two to three years?
No matter what, Alexander was sure that Annalise knew Jonathan very well!
It was very likely that she knew Joseph Quigley well too.
No wonder she could easily possess a jar of Energizing Pills.
If that was the case, Julian had gotten himself a treasure.
The more Alexander thought about it, the darker his expression became. He gave Abigail an ultimatum sternly “If you mess up the showcase, we won’t be holding a wedding.”
Abigail’s heart skipped a beat. She understood what Alexander meant and immediately replied, “Yes, I know. Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to prepare for the showcase. Alexander, relax. I might not be as good as those. famous designers in Jadeborough, but Annalise won’t be involved in the showcase.”
Annalise was not good at fashion, so she couldn’t possibly participate. Abigail only needed to give a good presentation to win the crowd’s cheers and make Alexander look good.
