Chapter 70\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail entered the living room eagerly. At first glance, she spotted Jacob and Martha, who stood next to him. However, she didn\u2019t take her seriously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere\u2019s Jeff?\u201d Abigail asked Jacob. \u201cIs he still asleep?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Mr. Foster is still asleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She checked the time. \u201cAt this hour? That\u2019s strange. Jeff never sleeps in. I\u2019ll go and wake him up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She headed toward the staircase without a second thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha quickly stepped forward and blocked her path. \u201cMs. Wright, outsiders are not allowed to go up to the second floor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail pointed to herself. \u201cOutsiders? Are you talking about me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Martha replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
O\u00a0<\/p>\n
She frowned. \u201cAre you new here? Don\u2019t you recognize me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI do know you, Ms. Wright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why are you stopping me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha retorted, \u201cWhy shouldn\u2019t I? Are you the lady of Foster Garden?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail replied confidently, \u201cI will be very so\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was determined to claim the position of Jeffrey\u2019s wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha sized her up from head to toe, making Abigail feel deeply uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho hired you? You\u2019re so rude and ill\u2013mannered,\u201d Abigail snapped before turning to Jacob. \u201d Fire her. I don\u2019t want to see her at Foster Garden anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
From her tone and attitude, it was clear that she believed she was already the lady of the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUh\u2026\u201d Jacob didn\u2019t know what to say, and his expression was awkward. Even Jeffrey couldn\u2019t send Martha away, let alone Abigail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha was placed here by Caroline herself. Who would dare to touch her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail raised an eyebrow. \u201cWhat, do my words not count? Fine, I\u2019ll speak to Jeff myself later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She refused to believe that she couldn\u2019t deal with a lowly housekeeper. Abigail sidestepped Martha and continued heading toward the stairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seeing that, Martha quickly blocked her way once more and said, \u201cMs. Wright, judging by how familiar you are with this place, this must not be your first visit. Have you always come and gone so freely?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail lifted her chin arrogantly. \u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha continued, \u201cIn that case, it seems Mrs. Foster is simply too soft\u2013hearted and kind. She needs someone firm to stand by her side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Abigail suddenly understood. \u201cYou\u2019re one of Natalie\u2019s people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew Natalie wouldn\u2019t give up her position as Jeffrey\u2019s wife so easily. She faked the divorce and moved out, yet she had secretly placed her own people at Foster Garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hah!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail pointed at Martha, her finger nearly poking her face. \u201cYou, leave Foster Garden immediately. Right now and not a second longer!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha stood her ground. \u201cYou have no authority to decide whether I stay or leave, Ms. Wright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail turned to Jacob. \u201cWhat are you standing around for? Call the guards and throw her out!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jacob looked hesitant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail snapped, \u201cWhat, I can\u2019t touch Natalie\u2019s people? Today, I absolutely-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Jeffrey\u2019s voice rang out. \u201cAb.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stood by the railing on the second floor, wearing a dress shirt and trousers. His figure was tall and imposing as he walked down the stairs at an unhurried pace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A gentle smile appeared on Abigail\u2019s face when she saw him. Her arrogant and condescending attitude from earlier vanished without a trace. At that moment, she seemed like a completely different person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJeff, you came at just the right time. Who is this woman? She actually stopped me from going upstairs to see you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail lifted the lunchbox in her hand. \u201cI made some breakfast and brought it here specially for you. It\u2019s your favorite.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey replied indifferently, \u201cShe\u2019s Martha, the housekeeper my grandma personally assigned to work here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
