Chapter 83\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbigail, the deepest secret you\u2019ve been hiding will come to light. You won\u2019t escape it. Everything you\u2019ve done would be in vain\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail stepped back, avoiding Chandler\u2019s hand. She gestured at her throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler chuckled softly, pulling out a pill and handing it to her. She swallowed it immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the antidote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The burning dryness in her throat quickly soothed, as if she had guzzled down cool spring water. Abigail coughed, managing to produce a faint sound, though it was still raspy and rough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTake it easy. In five minutes, you\u2019ll be able to speak again,\u201d Chandler said, casually sitting down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cI got this from Tyrania. It works like a charm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail placed a finger to her lips and nodded toward the door. There were people outside. He needed to keep it down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler laughed. \u201cJeffrey still cares about you. Well, of course. After all, you risked your life to save him. You\u2019re gentle and pure too, so he\u2019s bound to love you deeply.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He continued curiously, \u201cTell me, how did you come up with that fire stunt? You\u2019re one clever\u00a0<\/p>\n
woman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail didn\u2019t answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a long silence, she finally managed to speak, but her voice was still hoarse. \u201cWhat are you doing here? How did you get in through the window? That\u2019s risky.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRisking my life just to see you is nothing to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat exactly do you want from me, Chandler?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler waved a hand, grinning at her. \u201cI like you. It\u2019s pretty obvious, isn\u2019t it? Jeffrey likes you, so how could I not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cWe\u2019re alone. You can tell me the truth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler\u2019s smile faded, and he said seriously, \u201cThe truth is, I want to help you marry Jeffrey.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re smart. I\u2019m sure you can figure it out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, you\u2019ll control me and use me as a pawn. I\u2019ll spy on Jeffrey, report his every move to you, and steal his secret for you, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler stared at her. \u201cAbigail, you have no choice but to cooperate with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otherwise, she would lose everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you worried I\u2019ll drag you down with me? If I lose everything, so will you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He replied, \u201cBut I\u2019m still part of the Foster family, Abigail. What are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gritted her teeth in frustration. Chandler was playing her like a fiddle, and she hated it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d Chandler said, moving closer and pulling her onto his lap. \u201cNo matter whether it\u2019s me or Jeffrey who rises to power, you won\u2019t be left out. You\u2019ll always have a seat at the table with the Foster family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at her with greedy eyes, his hands beginning to wander.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail gripped his hands tightly. \u201cDon\u2019t touch me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He taunted, \u201cWhat? Jeffrey can touch you, but I can\u2019t?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her jaw clenched. \u201cHe hasn\u2019t touched me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler froze, staring at her in disbelief. \u201cWhat? You\u2019ve been with Jeffrey all these years, and he\u2019s never touched you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was humiliating, but it was the truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail replied quietly, \u201cYes. I\u2019m still a virgin. Jeffrey knows that. So, for now, you\u2019d better put those thoughts away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who would have thought that not having been intimate with Jeffrey would be the very thing that saved her from being violated by Chandler?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler went quiet for a long moment before speaking again. \u201cAbigail, then you should figure out how to get into his bed. To win a man\u2019s heart, you have to keep him happy in bed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail stayed silent. She had always wanted that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Jeffrey wasn\u2019t ready. He wanted to wait until he and Natalie were completely over before touching her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could only wait.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler continued, \u201cIt would be best if you became pregnant, Having a child would give you leverage. The Foster family would let you in. They\u2019d accept you for the sake of the child.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
