Day Forty-Three…
~~*****~~
Abigail just maintained her composure while on the stage. She was now standing confidently. She didn't feel shy or uneasy in front of the crowd.
She was trying her best to live up to Abigail Scarlett's na… her image and her reputation as a versatile actress.
Richard motioned for Abigail to leave so ssages for everyone. Several caras were directed at her. The reporters started approaching the stage. They were waiting for Abigail to co down.
Dave imdiately proceeded to the stage, getting ready to assist and escort Abigail. He would protect her from the reporters.
The clicking sounds of the caras could be heard as the reporters took her photos. Her coback would beco a headline after this Star Gala.
anwhile, Abigail's eyes scanned the venue, looking at the people around her.
'A ssage? What should I tell these people?'
Abigail noticed so jealousy in the eyes of other artists. So felt annoyed. But there were people who were happy to see her, including the VIPs.
After a while, Abigail's gaze stopped at the table where the mbers of the Yan Family were sitting. She noticed the two young ladies glaring at her. Aside from Nadia and Amara, Madam Lu was also giving Abigail a cold sharp glare. Madam Priyanshi, on the other hand, looked neutral.
'Hmm, so they are the relatives of the real Abigail. Do any of them have any involvent in Abigail's assassination attempt?' Abigail mused to herself.
She spoke up but her eyes were fixed on the Yan Family. "Thank you, everyone, for believing in . I might have kept you waiting, but here I am now… I'm back." Her words were full of aning.
'The heiress is back. I will help the real Abigail to get what she deserves. Justice. Her Family. Her Wealth!' Abigail's lips curled up into a mischievous smile.
The mont she smiled, several n were captivated by her charm! She was beautiful and stunning tonight… making the n swoon.
Abigail didn't say another word. She just bowed in front of them. She wanted to leave the stage already.
But before she could take a step, Richard moved closer to her and said sothing. "Miss Abi, I will introduce you to soone. An investor in your future project."
Abigail just nodded her head. "Okay. Let's leave the stage now." She sounded a little bit impatient.
Richard could only smile awkwardly while bobbing his head. Richard's polite and respectful actions toward Abigail brought another wave of jealousy to the people who didn't like her. Abigail looked like the Boss instead of Richard Chang.
When Abigail was descending the stage, the reporters dashed in her direction to ask her so questions. But Dave ca to her rescue imdiately, stopping the reporters from pestering Abigail.
Reporter 1: "Why did you commit suicide?"
Reporter 2: "Have you fully recovered?"
Reporter 3: "Why is it, we didn't hear anything from you… a few weeks after your suicide?"
Abigail just ignored their questions as she continued to walk together with Dave. Richard warned the reporters to behave. This wasn't the right ti to answer their questions.
"I will prepare a press conference after the Star Gala. You can ask any questions you want to ask her." Richard declared to them, making the reporter behave.
Dave escorted Abigail to their table. Ana and Santra were already waiting for her. Richard accompanied them.
Others already noticed the special treatnt Richard was giving to Abigail. They beca more bitter and hostile toward Abigail. They presud that the rumor about their romantic relationship was true. But Abigail just didn't mind those people. She had other things in mind.
'I want to et the mbers of the Yan Family and talk to them. If soone already knew my identity and my connection to the family, that person would beco my first suspect.' Abigail thought to herself, glancing at the mbers of the Yan Family.
Richard gave Abigail enough ti to settle down in her seat. After the last performance, he would introduce her to Alexander.
"Congrats, Miss Abi! Your performance is incredible! Though your choice of the song beca different, you've improved a lot." Santra imdiately hugged Abigail, praising her.
"I like your performance too. Good job! I'm so proud of you… my superstar! Your fans will be happy to see you back on television!' Ana expressed how proud she was as Abigail's manager.
Abigail felt relieved since she didn't disappoint Ana and Santra, including the fans of the real Abigail.
"See. I told you. You did a great job. You entertained everyone. They love your performance." Dave also joined the conversation.
Abigail thanked them for their support. Then she looked around, searching for Nathan. She frowned when she didn't see him.
'Where did he go?' Abigail asked herself.
Little did she know, Nathan received an important call from Stephen. Sothing happened to Phatomflake. She showed another sign of improvent. He left the venue to answer the call.
"Nate, where are you?" Stephen asked his best friend.
"I'm at a party. Why? Did Phantomflake wake up?" Nathan was anticipating Stephen's reply.
"Not yet. But she showed another sign of improvent. Her fingers moved again." Stephen shared the good news with his best friend.
"Will you go here?" Stephen asked him again.
Nathan contemplated for a mont. He turned in the direction of the venue. Abigail was still at the party. He didn't know if he should prioritize seeing Phantomflake or staying there and watching over Abigail.
He still couldn't decide when Axel approached his Supre Leader.
"Master, it looks like Miss Abi is searching for you," Axel inford him. Nathan told Axel to watch Abigail's every move while he was not around.
When Nathan heard that, he was able to make up his mind. 'I have to stay here.'
He just nodded at Axel and shifted his attention back to Stephen.
"Steph… I can't go there tonight. Just monitor her condition. Update from ti to ti if sothing significant happens to her."
Stephen was taken aback for a mont. This was the first ti Nathan didn't rush to go there to see Phantomflake. He recalled that Nathan was always rushing to Phantomflake whenever sothing happened to her.
'Is that party more important to him than seeing Phantomflake waking up?' Stephen wondered to himself.
