From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World by Anonymous

Chapter 259 - Only Thirty Seconds

Menu

Abbie, sitting in a wheelchair, looked anxiously at the mess on Helena and Quincy's bodies inside the house, her

chest heaving with anger. She was pushed by the bodyguard to the front door of the main building of the

Stevens family. The wound, which had just been operated on, started to ache in waves after the anesthesia wore

off.

Abbie angrily interrogated, “Are you only satisfied when our family is ruined? Don’t forget, the Stevens family

took care of you for three years!” Facing her still unrepentant attitude, Hazel sneered in her heart. This woman's

arrogance is truly overwhelming. “Three years, thirty million...”

“The Stevens family, being the renowned wealthiest family in Los Angeles, why don’t you have a few more

children so that you don’t have to work and can directly invest?”

Abbie was silenced by her words, but then she realized that it was she who didn’t know any better, even though

it was the Stevens family who had given her a prosperous start.

“If it weren't for the excellent education we gave you, would you have been able to attend Seattle University of

Washington and marry into the Campbell family as a wealthy lady?”

Sebastian: “Grandma, please stop talking!”

“Why can’t | speak? | insist on speaking!” Abbie, who is getting older and likes to lecture, sits in a wheelchair and

shows no signs of remorse. “Hazel, one must not forget gratitude and loyalty, let alone forget one’s roots. What

you did today at the Stevens’ villa has already constituted a crime.”

The entrance hall and living room of the main building had a step difference. As she spoke, she waved to the

bodyguard behind her, asking him to lift her wheelchair directly from the steps.

This long distance hindered her

performance.

“If you don’t want to face legal judgment, you better kneel down and live as the Stevens family. Don’t think for a

moment that the Stevens family is without anyone!”

Bang!

The bullet pierced through the man’s stomach in front of him.

Abbie fell silent in an instant!

Just as she was wondering why the bodyguard didn’t follow her instructions, someone kicked the wheelchair from

behind and she was also

thrown out by the force.

A man’s voice, filled with extrindifference, cfrom behind.

Gabriel: “What's it to you if | married her?”

His imposing height of 1.9 meters was already intimidating enough, let alone now with Abbie lying paralyzed on

the ground, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at him.

Gabriel sneered coldly, “When did it becyour turn, an old lady, to meddle in the Campbell family’s choice of

a daughter-in-law?”

Abbie was speechless:

Hazel turned her head to look when she heard a noise, and she saw Gabriel standing there. She furrowed her

brows slightly.

Shouldn't he have been at the hospital with his daughter at this time?

Abbie, whose wrist was already sprained before, instinctively used her hand to support herself in a moment of

danger. Just after her wrist had been bandaged, she felt a sharp pain again, and the severity of her injury was

worse than when she was in the basement.

The most important thing is!

The surgical knife, which had been deeply stabbed into Abbie’s shoulder by Hazel, was pulled out by Ethan and

then stabbed several times on her thigh before she was taken to the hospital. It caused pain and bleeding, but

did not harm any vital organs.

Even if someone were to judge the severity of the injury, it would at most be considered a minor injury.

But the pain was real!

Abbie is unable to stand up now.

At this moment, it was also unknown which organ Hazel had hit inside her body, and the pain in her stomach

caused Calvin to collapse on the ground.

He did not refuse to resist, but because...

Half of the room was filled with the barrels of black-clad bodyguards, pointed at Keegan and his daughter.

Half of them were all aiming at him!

“Believe it or not, your preaching voice, accompanied by the agonizing wails of your son, lover, and illegitimate

thought he was new, but now she realizes that he is Gabriel's

person.

“You deliberately broughthere!”

Trembling sound, filled with deep regret and anger.

Those deep black eyes, as profound as the night sky, didn’t even spare her a glance as Gabriel walked past her

with long strides. Enrique, who cin after him, slightly bent over. He answered her doubts in fluent

Hazel deliberately amplified the sound of the countdown, in the silent living room of the Stevens’ villa, the

Stevens family’s emotions were all drawn in by this sound.

“30, 29, 28..."

Every ta counting sound rang out.

Calvin and Abbie’s hearts trembled.

Helena, with her injured arm, and her son, whose legs were hit, were in so much pain that they were almost

suffocating.

‘Honey, | was in so much pain.”

‘Dad, save me, | felt my legs had lost sensation.”

The voices of two people drowned out the countdown.

When Calvin heard the count again, it had already becthe numbers “7, 6, 5,” and the cold sweat on his

forehead couldn't be stopped. On the other side, Abbie, who managed to stand up forcibly, hurriedly walked

towards Hazel on the couch. Her already aged legs were trembling uncontrollably, with the possibility of falling at

any moment.
