Chapter 56\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the road, Chandler drove at a leisurely pace. Abigail sat in the passenger seat with visible panic and unease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I really that frightening? Why do you always look like that whenever you see me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler asked casually, freeing one hand and resting it on the back of Abigail\u2019s hand. Then, he stroked it gently. \u201cRelax. I\u2019m not going to do anything to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She immediately flung his hand away. \u201cDon\u2019t touch me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He asked, \u201cYou won\u2019t even let me touch you now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail said, \u201cI\u2019m Jeff\u2019s woman, Chandler. You should show some restraint! If you dare lay a hand on me, I\u2019ll\u2026\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll go tell Jeffrey?\u201d Chandler finished for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail bit down hard on her lower lip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead,\u201d he said. Not only did he not seem afraid at all, but he actually laughed. \u201cWhile you\u2019re at it, I can also tell Jeffrey a few things from back then. For example\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He deliberately dragged out his words. \u201cThe truth about that fire. The equipment room at school was perfectly fine, so why did it suddenly catch fire? What a mystery.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the color drained from Abigail\u2019s face. She sat upright, completely frightened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, she slowly leaned back into the seat. All the arrogance she\u2019d shown earlier was completely gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cAlright, Chandler. What do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler let out a disdainful laugh. \u201cSo, can I touch you now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail didn\u2019t answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He grabbed her hand, rubbing it over and over again. \u201cSuch delicate skin. Jeffrey really treats you well. I wonder what his woman tastes like.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail forced herself to suppress the revulsion. \u201cI advise you not to act recklessly. If Jeff ever finds out, we\u2019re both finished.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d Chandler said. He lifted her hand and kissed it lightly. \u201cI know my limits.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail nearly yanked her hand back. She bit down hard on the tip of her tongue and turned away, refusing to look at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cDo you want any woman who belongs to Jeffrey? You were quite attentive to\u00a0<\/p>\n

Natalie just now too, defending her and speaking up for her like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler replied, \u201cI\u2019m only feigning concern for her. What I feel for you is genuine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail asked, \u201cWhat do you\u00a0<\/p>\n
mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
22\u00a0<\/p>\n
He laughed out loud. \u201cYou\u2019ll understand in time. There\u2019s no rush. We can just take things slow. There are plenty of things I\u2019ll need your help with in the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A sense of despair welled up in her when she heard that. She wouldn\u2019t be able to shake Chandler off anytime soon. He was like a venomous snake, coiled tightly around her. If she wanted to get rid of him, she\u2019d either have to kill him or perish together with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler continued, \u201cAbigail, from now on, don\u2019t hide when you see me. Don\u2019t even think about avoiding me. If you make me unhappy, you\u2019re finished. You\u2019ll lose everything you have now, understand?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hesitated for a moment before replying, \u201cI understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He smiled. \u201cThat\u2019s more like it. Be a good girl and listen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After taking a deep breath, she said, \u201cYou have to help me keep the secret.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler nodded. \u201cOf course. How could I bear to see Jeffrey abandon you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, he laughed out loud again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail clenched her teeth in secret. If she wanted her secret to never see the light of day, the best way would be to silence him forever. Only the dead could never speak. Only then would\u00a0<\/p>\n
she be truly safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But for now, she couldn\u2019t do it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stephen had just returned to the Bennett residence. Right as he was about to step into the living room, Natalie called out, \u201cWait!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stephen\u2019s foot froze in mid\u2013air, and his body swayed slightly from side to side. \u201cWhat now? You\u2019re not letting me into my own house?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie said, \u201cLet me cleanse the bad luck off your body first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
