Genevieve!
Greg wished for nothing more than to crush Genevieve to death at this moment.
If he had known earlier on what Genevieve had done to Abigail, he wouldn't have simply thrown her outof the window and let her go so easily like that.
F*ck!
Greg's friendly feelings toward her out of consideration for their friendship since childhood hadcompletely disappeared by now.
This woman was just too greedy. He had warned her many times, but she always thought highly ofherself and kept hurting the people he cared about, so he was not going to let her go easily now.
Looking at the time, Greg realized that it was already 5.00 AM. The early risers should be out on thestreets by now, but what did it matter?
The things he wanted to do could not wait for even a minute.
With that, he called Troy. "How is Amy?"
Troy had been worried sick over on his side, so he was relieved when he saw Greg's call. He quicklysaid, "She's out of danger, but her lungs have been damaged and need to be properly treated. Thedoctor even said that she may have a persistent cough in the future. When the weather isn't good, shemight suffer from severe coughing fits."
Speaking of this, Troy was also quite sad. It was really distressing to see how a normal girl had endedup like this.
"Mr. Buckley, what's the matter with Amy? Her injury—"
"Arrange for someone to look after her with the best care possible. Then, replace someone to kidnapGenevieve and throw her into the red light district."
The corner of Greg's lips raised into a cold smile. He would make Genevieve experience how shetreated Abigail.
Troy thought he had heard it wrongly and asked, "Mr. Buckley, who are you talking about? GenevieveLeynthall? Are you sure?"
"If your ears don't work, I can cut them off for you."
After speaking, Greg hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Troy had heard the killing intent from Greg's tone.
Mr. Buckley actually wants to kill Genevieve? Isn't Genevieve Mr. Buckley's old flame, though? Even ifhe is with Dr. Kain now, how can their childhood friendship of more than ten years be wiped away justlike that?
Troy didn't know what was going on, but he was afraid that Greg would regret it, so he quickly calledhim back.
"Mr. Buckley, what did Miss Leynthall do to make you so angry?"
"Since when did you have the authority to ask me about my affairs?"
Greg was already in a bad mood to begin with, but upon sensing as though Troy was protectingGenevieve, he suddenly became furious.
However, Troy had been with Greg for many years; since he knew Greg's temper quite well, hecontinued to say, "Mr. Buckley, I'm aware of the relationship between you and Miss Leynthall. Have youguys misunderstood each other? Why don't I—"
"From today onward, you don't need to assist me anymore other than company matters."
Greg didn't wait for Troy to finish his words before he interrupted the man. Upon hearing that, Troy wasstunned.
"Mr. Buckley, you don't want me anymore?" He panicked, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Greg said flatly, "I don't need a personal assistant who questions my decisions."
Troy was immediately aggrieved.
"Mr. Buckley, I'm sure that you're aware of how many years I've been with you. From our teenage yearsto where we are right now, we've gone through so much together. Do you not want me anymore justbecause I'm stating the truth? Is it because of Dr. Kain? Mr. Buckley, let me say something. It won't bewhat you want to hear, but honestly, you've been with Miss Leynthall for ten years. Just how long haveyou been with Dr. Kain? Even if you like her, you can't ruin your relationship with Miss Leynthallbecause of that woman. The Leynthall Family's power in Harrison is incomparable and much moreuseful compared to Dr. Kain. If our identities hadn't been protected by Miss Leynthall over the years,we would've met with a lot of trouble. Even if Miss Leynthall likes Cody Kottler, she was just a younggirl when she first got together with you. Moreover, you're her only man. However, what about Dr. Kain?You don't know how many men she has been tainted by, so why would you treat such used goods astreasure?"
His words instantly made Greg fly into a rage.
"You peeked at my files?"
"I only did it for your sake." Troy knew that he had done something wrong, but he was afraid that Gregwould be led astray by Abigail.
Previously, he thought that Abigail and Greg were a pretty good pair, but when Greg had asked him tocheck Abigail's information regarding Hitman Island, he had a trace of dissatisfaction and suspiciontoward Abigail.
Hitman Island?
If Abigail came from Hitman Island, he naturally knew something about her background. After all, heand Greg had been to that place, so they knew what it was like.
What Greg needed was not a tarnished woman.
Hence, when Greg was stabbed in the clubhouse and Abigail had called him, he secretly checked thefiles. Naturally, he understood the reason why Greg had gone to the boxing gym in distress.
He felt sorry for Greg then—why would he hurt himself for such a woman?
Given the circumstances, Troy really felt that even if Genevieve was a little pampered and self-willed,she would be better than the tarnished Abigail.
Meanwhile, Greg's face turned ugly when he heard what Troy said.
He knew that Troy had been with him for a long time, and he was not much different from his ownbrother. However, Troy had stepped on Greg's minefield this time, and the latter was incrediblyincensed.
"You have overstepped your boundaries, Troy."
Greg's voice was not loud, but Troy could hear it clearly.
"My personal affairs are not up for you to decide, not to mention that you don't listen to my orders thesedays. As such, it's really not suitable for you to stay by my side any longer. Go to the disciplinary hall toreceive punishment before you head to the northern subdivision and begin work there."
After Greg finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Greg was also a little reluctant to leave Troy. After all, Troy was like a brother to him for more than tenyears. He still remembered how he had picked up Troy on the streets at the age of 12. Now that morethan ten years had passed, Troy was his closest confidant. However, Troy had forgotten hisboundaries, and he had seen Abigail's most private and awful information.
He was afraid that Troy would do something to Abigail or the children in an attempt to protect him, sotransferring his assistant away was the best choice. Nonetheless, Greg thought that he could alwaysbring Troy back once the latter came back to his senses.
However, this thought did not occur to Troy.
He was stunned; listening to the busy tone of the phone, he felt his mind go blank.
Mr. Buckley doesn't want me anymore? After going through so much with him for more than ten years,he no longer wants me because of that woman?
The disciplinary hall was a place he had never been to since he was a child, yet he was going there toreceive punishment right now. All of this was because of that woman named Abigail Kain!
She's indeed a curse! In fact, she probably asked Mr. Buckley to send me away. Otherwise, how couldMr. Buckley be willing to let me go?
Troy's face was pale, and he increasingly felt that Abigail brought bad luck. The way he saw it, Abigaildidn't deserve to stay by Greg's side.
Although Greg felt slightly sad after coming to this decision, he knew that there was always a price tobe paid for doing something wrong.
Troy had messed with his files, so he had to correct this behavior. Even if it was for Greg's own good,Troy shouldn't be so disobedient. If he touched Abigail's files today, he might touch other confidentialfiles tomorrow. Most importantly, his attitude toward Abigail was unacceptable, and he didn't wantAbigail to feel unhappy anymore.
Soon, Greg chose a dutiful man named Benjamin Wallis from his men to become his new personalassistant.
Benjamin had been in the company for less than two years. Although his performance wasn't stellar, hewas very loyal and knew his place.
Greg posted the news in the management group early that morning, asking Benjamin to temporarilyreplace Troy's position as his assistant. He wanted Benjamin to immediately come to Allie's Garden toreport to him.
Upon seeing the news, Benjamin was stunned.
He was woken up by the big boss from his sleep and had no idea what was going on. At this moment,the feeling of shooting to the moon while riding a rocket made him think that he was still dreaming.
"Mr. Buckley, are you being for real?"
"Go and drag Genevieve to the red-light district. Once you're done with that, come to Allie's Gardenand report to me."
Greg didn't explain anything and hung up the phone after giving out his orders.
For some reason, the news about Troy being replaced and sent to the disciplinary hall for punishmentspread all over the management's group chat in no time.
'What's the matter? What did Troy do wrong?'
Several management staff sent a few inquiries, but Greg did not answer them at all. As for Troy, hishands were tightly clasped together, and there was a hint of redness in his eyes.
Mr. Buckley actually issued such a notice directly in the management group! Also, who even is this guynamed Benjamin Wallis? He's merely a newcomer who has only been in the company for two years!How can he actually take my place as an assistant in the Buckley Group and the Night Assassino?Maybe this is what Abigail wants.
Troy thought about whether he had ever offended Abigail, but he felt that he hadn't done anythingwrong other than his surname being Adams. He merely said a few bad things about her in front of Gregjust now, but that was also the truth.
He didn't believe that Greg would blame him for his directness. The only possibility was that Abigail hadheard his words just now, so she had taken this opportunity to take revenge and confound Greg.
Troy blamed Abigail for everything, and he quickly became more hostile and dissatisfied with her.
He switched off all the management group's messages, put on his clothes, and went to the disciplinaryhall to receive his punishment. Nevertheless, he swore to always remember this.
Let's wait and see, Abigail! I won't let you hurt Mr. Buckley.
There was hatred for Abigail in Troy's eyes. Soon, Benjamin took over Troy's position hastily.
Troy was Greg's special assistant, and everyone knew this clearly. After all, he had been in this positionfor more than ten years. Seeing Troy was like seeing Greg, but now that Benjamin was in this position,his new identity was still unfamiliar to many others although the staff in the management group knewabout this.
When Benjamin dispatched people to take Genevieve, those people didn't listen to him at all.
Greg hadn't thought this through clearly, so after hanging up the phone, he went to the bedroom.
Seeing Abigail sleeping soundly, the fury in his heart subsided little by little.
If Troy hadn't mentioned the issue of the Hitman Island files, he wouldn't have remembered it. Now,seeing Abigail's tired appearance and thinking of his own anxiety when something happened to Abigail,Greg suddenly felt like a weight had been taken off his heart.
Who cared if Abigail once did something bad? She was just a weak woman.
It wasn't like she wanted to be kidnapped on the island and trained to be a hitman. Those cruel andruthless people had no humanity at all. No matter what they did to Abigail, how could she resist?
In fact, she was probably pregnant at the time.
Under such difficult conditions, she had to protect herself and the children in her belly. What else couldshe do other than compromise? At that time, where was her man and the father of the children?
When Abigail needed him the most, he didn't show up. What right did he have to blame her foreverything she had to do back then?
