Chapter 171: Changed
"Why don’t you join us for lunch? It’s been a while since we had lunch together,"Mrs. Harrison, suggested.
Abby smirked inwardly. These people are shameless, she thought. When she stayed with them, they treated her like a servant. She even had to eat in the kitchen, sometimes having their leftovers
"Thank you —for the —offer, Mrs. Harrison," Abby replied politely, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "But I think I’ll —pass. I’ve had —my fill of dining —in the kitchen."
Margret’s smile faltered for a moment, a flicker of discomfort crossing her features before she quickly recovered, plastering on a false smile. "Oh, of course, dear. Another time, perhaps," she said dismissively, her attempt to brush off Abby’s pointed remark evident
As Abby stood up to leave, she casually mentioned, "I have to go, my husband is waiting for me." The Harrisons stood up too, their expressions a mix of surprise and curiosity.
"H-husband? When did you get married?" Lily stammered, her voice tinged with disbelief. She knew she had stolen Abby’s fiancé, and the thought of Abby moving on so quickly infuriated her.
Abby noticed Lily’s shocked expression, a smirk playing on her lips. "Oh, I’m sorry, did— I forget to send —you an invitation— to the wedding?" Abby taunted even though she was stammering , her tone dripping with sarcasm. "I guess— I just assumed —you were too busy stealing —other people’s betrothed to attend."
Lily’s face flushed with anger, her fists clenching at her sides. "How dare you!" she seethed, her voice trembling with rage.
Abby shrugged nonchalantly, enjoying the rise she was getting out of Lily. "Oh, relax, Lily. I’m sure you’ll find someone else to ruin soon enough. It seems to be your specialty, after all."
