“Do you know that you are letting Abigail off the hook? You think there is not enough trouble caused, is it?” Cassandra Parks retorted. Albert Parks was a hot-tempered person. After being rebuked, he was also filled with anger. “I’m just stating the facts. How did I let Abigail off the hook? Oh, don’t tell me she was wrong to pour tea for everyone out of goodwill?” “She’s offering a Greek gift, so she is definitely up to no good.” Cassandra gritted her teeth and glared at Abigail Barton viciously. She wished she could gouge out Abigail alive with her glare.
Abigail complained in an aggrieved manner, “Grandaunt Cassandra, I was really just pouring tea for everyone out of kindness. You can’t wrong me like this.” Upon seeing Abigail’s hypocritical demeanor, Cassandra became even more furious. “Drop your act. When there are people with evil intentions in the family, the home will never be peaceful.”
Layla Ziegler said in defense, “Aunt, the matter isn’t clear yet. How can you pin the blame on Abigail? Although she wasn’t very good in certain aspects, she definitely wouldn’t do something like harming Grandpa Samuel.” She knew that she had to stand up for Abigail.
Wasn’t it more suspicious if she didn’t speak up for Abigail in this situation? It was as if she knew. “Definitely wouldn’t? What evidence do you have to guarantee that she definitely won’t?” Cassandra had looked down on Layla all along. Now that Layla was defending Abigail with such certainty, Cassandra became even angrier. When he saw more and more people looking in their direction, Julian Parks said, “Let’s talk about this later. Grandpa’s health is more important.”
No matter who it was, Julian would never let him off! Cassandra was a sensible person. She frowned and looked at Julian as she said, “Yes. His health is more important.” She glared at Abigail viciously again. Annalise removed the cups used for the cupping therapy from Samuel’s body. Julian looked at Annalise.
Annalise said, “Send Grandpa home for a good rest.” “Alright. I’ll send Grandpa back. I can’t accompany you today. John, please take care of Annie.” Julian carried his grandfather up. “I’ll go back with you!” Annalise said. She still had to observe Grandpa’s condition round the clock. Later, she would gather some medicine that could purge the poison.
Annalise then took out a plastic bag from her bag and asked Cassandra, “Grandaunt, did Grandpa drink from this teacup?” “Yes, that’s the one.” Cassandra glared at Abigail again with a furious expression. Annalise put the teacup in the plastic bag. She did not reach out with her hand to pick up the teacup but used the plastic bag to pick it up. After that, she put the cup into her bag.
Abigail’s eyes narrowed when she saw this. What was this bitch Annalise trying to do? Not far from the entrance, the Blake family members and the Jones family members were already closing in around Master Quigley. When she saw that she wasn’t the first to approach the master, Gwen Raven gritted her teeth resentfully and quickly made her way toward Joseph Quigley.
She had to seize this opportunity to talk to the master. Perhaps the master might like her talent and was willing to take her in as his disciple? Jonathan Woods was his eldest disciple and he had received so many benefits. As Joseph Quigley’s eldest disciple, he had been enjoying such benefits for the better half of his life.
After Old Mr. Graham and Old Mr. Hector bade Annalise farewell, they also went to meet Master Quigley. Annalise and Julian left the venue of the medical conference with the rest of the family members. In other words, Annalise left straightaway without even meeting Joseph Quigley face to face.
After Annalise left, Jonathan naturally went to meet his mentor. The moment Joseph saw Jonathan, he scolded him, “Unfilial creature. You knew I was coming, but you come to look for me immediately.” Jonathan smiled. “I was held up by some matters.”
“What matter is so important? Is it more important than paying your respects to your mentor?” Joseph chided him. Jonathan smiled again. “Alright, alright. Sir, calm down. I’ll treat you to a big meal later.” “That’s more like it.” Joseph was finally satisfied. didn’t Gwen listened to the conversation between the master and the disciple and kept guessing and imagining.
She surmised that Joseph Quigley definitely did not know Annalise Barton. Therefore, the titles of seniority used by Annalise and Jonathan with each other were just on their end, and Joseph Quigley was not aware at all.
