Chapter 110 A Doting Husband
Layla looked at Abigail and said in a low voice, “Everything is ready. All we need is the right moment. You know, the old man has always hated me because of Julian’s mother’s death. Therefore, I won’t go look for him for no reason. But because of that, I don’t have the chance to get close to him.”
Layla suddenly looked at Abigail. “But Abbie, you’re a doctor. You have the best chance of making this work.”
Seeing Abigail hesitate, she instigated again, “Alexander is my only son. You’re his wife, which means you’re my own daughter. We’re a real family. If Alexander takes over, you’ll be the real matriarch of the family. What kind of status and glory would that bring?”
Looking at Layla’s anxious expression, Abigail became a little quiet. She thought in her heart, “Her own daughter?” A few moments earlier, Layla had acted like she wanted her to kneel and admit her mistake, but now she was her ‘own daughter’.
Sure enough, most mothers-in-law were the same. When they needed you, you would be their daughter. When they didn’t need you, you were trash.
Layla saw that Abigail had not agreed, so she provoked her again, “If Alexander can’t take over Parks Group, it will be Julian. I think Julian and Annalise are pretty close. If Julian becomes the president of Parks Group and has complete control over it, then Annalise will be the real matriarch of the family.
“I wonder what Annalise’s personality is like? Is she petty? In the future, at the Parks family’s banquets or when other families invite the Parks, I wonder if she’d allow you to attend them?”
When Abigail heard Layla’s words, she could not take it anymore. If it was a socialite like Sybil or Lianne, she could accept people like them stealing her limelight. After all, they had come from good families and were outstanding women.
But who was Annalise?
Now that Annalise had married Julian, would she be ordering Abigail around?
Abigail gritted her teeth and said with a cold glint in her eyes, “Mom, I’ll think of a way.”
A glint of triumph flashed across Layla’s eyes. She lowered her voice and said, “Be extremely careful. Even if you fail, it doesn’t matter. You must not leave any evidence behind. If you do, no one will protect you.”
“Don’t worry. I will be careful.” Abigail squinted again.
She had already decided that from that night onwards, she would bring Samuel soup every night.
She added a lot of ginger to the soup.
There was nothing wrong with the soup. It was just that there was a lot of ginger, and it was heaty. If one ate it at night, they would be filled with warm energy. It would be easy for one’s cold and hot energy to be unbalanced.
Older people typically did not sleep well. After drinking too much ginger soup, they would suffer from insomnia. Without proper sleep, all kinds of illnesses would occur. Besides, Samuel was already suffering from many conditions.
With Abigail’s plan, his body would fall gravely ill in less than half a month.
What was she guilty of? All she did was feel sorry for Samuel and made some nourishing soup for him. “It’s good that you know what you’re doing. Be careful.” Layla held Abigail’s hand and gently patted the back of her hand. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Abbie, this is the critical moment in Alexander and Julian’s fight for power. Once Samuel dies, as long as our apparel sales exceed Julian’s, we’ll be able to show the sales figures. With Christopher and your father’s support, don’t you think the president’s position will be Alexander’s?”
Abigail’s eyes lit up. “Is Grandpa Christopher on Alexander’s side, too?”
She had always thought that Christopher supported Albert and Timothy.
Layla said smugly, “Of course!”
Abigail felt even more confident.
Once Alexander took over, the first thing she would do was humiliate Annalise and vent the unhappiness in
her heart.
After Julian and Annalise finished playing around, he took her to the mall.
