Now that Larry's situation had stabilized, Abigail could finally relax for a while.
Regarding Martin and Andrew, they would need to leave, whether they chose to follow her or not, once she and Simond had everything planned.
If Martin behaved himself, she could still negotiate with him. If he was playing his own game behind her back, she wouldn't be so accommodating.
At such a crucial moment, if he still harbored secrets, she didn't want to debate morals with him.
She went downstairs and saw Andrew looking at her. So, she smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Are you unhappy?" Andrew asked softly. "Is it because Dad made a strange decision?"
"I'm not unhappy. Whatever plans he has, it has nothing to do with me," she replied calmly. "Six months is almost up. He has fulfilled his promise, and I've done what I should. When the time comes, we'll part ways amicably."
Abigail felt there was nothing more to say. She would never tell Andrew and Martin her plans, even though Andrew had done a lot for her.
When the time came, it would be just a matter of ensuring the safety of father and son. As for what they would do next, she won't interfere.
Andrew glanced at her, his gaze clouded with darkness. "Alright then."
"I'll go back to my room and get some rest," she said and headed toward her own room.
After shutting the door behind her, she furrowed her brow in thought for a moment before deciding to send a message to Simond.
'Let's prepare in advance. Martin might have his own plans, so we'll stay out of it.'
After receiving a reply from Simond, Abigail lay down and thought, Would Andrew find out about this message?
Since everything had been investigated, it was just a matter of execution.
…
Late at night, Martin made sure that Abigail had fallen asleep. So, he walked into the living room and wanted to give Nick a call. When he was about to dial the number, the lights switched on.
"What are you trying to do?" Andrew's expression darkened. He looked different from his previous childish appearance.
Martin was startled, but he quickly composed himself. "I plan to take advantage of Nick's desire to find Abigail and get us out. Along the way, I'll turn the tables on his people and then leave the decision-making to Abigail."
"What decision-making?" Andrew frowned.
