Lucien's sharp eyes give out a bloodthirsty light and he looks at Abby fiercely. "You don't know the origin of this ring, and you dare to buy it? Should I despise your mental retardation or force you to tell the truth?"
Abby has a ferocious look on her face. "The truth? Then I'll tell you the truth. Nina is a bitch. I hate her! If I knew this ring was hers, I would have thrown it in the garbage!"
Lucien takes a step toward Abby. His cold face is close to hers. "Miss Lewis, you'd better tell me where Nina is right now! Otherwise I will punish you!"
Andrew is a little dubious when Lucien says that. Does Abby really know where Nina is? Abby has always been hostile to Nina. It's possible for a jealous woman to do anything!
Andrew also looks at Abby pleadingly. "Abby, if you know where Nina is, please let me know."
Abby is shaking with anger. She looks at Andrew with unbelievable eyes. He even doubts her because of Nina!
Abby points to Andrew and can't speak because of anger. She suddenly feels a stomachache and then a hot fluid runs down her thigh.
Abby looks down in alarm. Her long white skirt has turned red!
She miscarries! She and Andrew's baby is gone! A burst of broken screams tears people's eardrums. Abby's face is full of indignation. She points at Lucien with shaking fingers. "Lucien, you must die! You and Nina will be punished!"
"Abby!" Andrew and Mayor Lewis hold the fallen Abby at the same time. Mayor Lewis looks at Lucien angrily.
Lucien doesn't notice the look in Mayor Lewis's eyes at all. He holds the ring as tightly as a drowning man holds the last straw. This is Nina's ring. He might be able to find Nina from it.
The ambulance is coming. The wedding scene is even more chaotic. Paparazzi and various media are busy taking photos and interviewing.
This is the mayor's daughter's wedding. It should be gorgeous and eye-catching. It ends up like this. Tomorrow's headlines are hot!
Lucien, the culprit, doesn't seem to feel the chaos at all. His thick eyebrows are still tightly wrinkled, and now his mind is full of how to find Nina. He doesn't realize that the reporters are filming him!
"Lucien, let's go!" Seeing that there are already journalists coming this way, Jarvis pulls Lucien out.
They get away from the reporters and get into the car. Jarvis has always been calm, but now he blames, "Lucien, what's wrong with you today? Even if you suspect that the ring is Nina's, you shouldn't expose it on the spot. After all, Abby is the daughter of Mayor Lewis. Andrew is the president of the Williams Family. You offended them all at once."
Lucien's body is tight. This ring has attracted all his attention. Is it Nina's ring? Why did she sell this ring? Or something happened to her and the ring became someone else's?
Jarvis sighs at Lucien's stupidity.
Outside the hospital's senior ward, Andrew and Mayor Lewis are anxiously waiting. As soon as the doctor comes out of the ward, they surround him, "doctor, how's Abby?"
The doctor shakes his head. "The baby can't be saved. Please comfort her more!"
Andrew and Mayor Lewis look at each other and walk sadly into the ward.
Abby is lying in bed in a daze. When she sees Andrew and Mayor Lewis coming, tears runs down her white face.
"Andrew, I'm sorry. I didn't protect the baby." Abby weeps bitterly. This baby is the only link between her and Andrew. Andrew was willing to marry her because she had this baby in her stomach. Now that the baby is dead, will Andrew abandon her?
"Abby, it's me who should say I'm sorry. I didn't protect you and I didn't stop Lucien." Andrew is sad, too. The baby in Abby's stomach is also his. Although it is only a small germ, it is also a small life!
His hatred of Lucien slowly spreads. It's like a poisonous tree rooting in his heart.
"Lucien, will you leave me?" Abby finally asks what worries her.
"Abby, I will not leave you. Don't worry." Andrew gently strokes Abby's hair and soothes her.
"Then promise me you will never leave me!" Andrew's answer reassures Abby.
Looking at Abby's weak and pale face, Andrew can't say no. It is his fault that made Abby lose her baby. Only Andrew knows how Abby is looking forward to the birth of the baby.
The baby's clothes have been bought for a long time. Cradles and toys are the best. Abby is full of expectations for her and his baby. But now...
"I promise you." Andrew says softly.
Abby's worries all disappear! Andrew is a gentleman. He will do what he promised. Now that he has promised that he will never leave, he will do it.
Abby even begins to celebrate her miscarriage. Andrew won't be so guilty if she hasn't miscarried. He won't promise never to leave her. It's just the poor little baby in her belly...
Abby's eyes are red again! Lucien, I will never let you go!
Looking at Mayor Lewis standing by, Abby whispers, "Dad..."
"Abby, Dad's here. How are you feeling?" Mayor Lewis is angry, too. On the one hand, he is worried about his daughter's health, on the other hand, he is angry. Lucien is just too presumptuous. How dare he disturb his daughter's wedding! It shows that he doesn't respect him at all! Although Gray Family has a lot of money, some of its businesses are still in city C. How dare he not respect him here. He's so hateful!
"Dad, you must avenge me!" Abby's face is pale and pitiful. "Lucien is so hateful! He should respect you! I was so angry that I miscarried. Dad, you must avenge me!"
"My dear daughter, I know what to do. Have a good rest." Mayor Lewis frowns and says. He comes up with an idea.
The building of Gray Family. Lucien's office.
"President, this is the report of this month." The chief financial officer brings in the monthly performance summary.
Seeing the numbers on the table, Lucien's eyebrows wrinkle slightly. "What's the matter with this month's report?"
"President, we have tried our best, but the tax department is checking it. They have never been so strict. I suspect it's someone who's behind the scenes."
Lucien looks up. His sharp eyes make the CFO shiver.
"Put it here and call in the project director." Seeing how scared the CFO looks, Lucien is disgusted and waves him out.
The director of the project department comes in with the data sheet.
He hands Lucien the data sheet and peeks at Lucien's face.
Sure enough, Lucien begins to frown and get angry.
That report is thrown on the table! "Explain to me why the performance is so bad this month!" Lucien's voice is terrible.
"President, I've tried my best! We didn't successfully bid for several pieces of land this month! I've heard from the officials that Mayor Lewis will completely block Gray Family's enterprises in all industries!"
Lucien squints and says, "Mayor Lewis?"
"Yes, it's Mayor Lewis. I heard that he hates you for disturbing his daughter's wedding!" The project director looks at Lucien's face and says cautiously.
"Ha ha..." Lucien suddenly raises his head and laughs, "he's just a mayor. He wants to destroy the Gray Family?" Lucien's eyes flash with sarcasm.
"President, you have an internal call." The secretary's soft voice comes from the loudspeaker on the desk.
Lucien waves the project director out first. He presses the answer key on the table.
There's a solemn voice from an old man on the phone, "Lucien, because of a woman, you don't even do business?"
Lucien frowns, and there is a little more helplessness in his rebellious eyes. "Grandpa, what rumor have you heard?"
"Rumor? The news has come to America! If your uncle didn't say that, I don't know that you have offended the mayor of City C for a woman!"
Lucien frowns. "He'' just a mayor! He can't destroy Gray Family?"
"He's just a mayor? Do you know who is behind him? It's XXX! Even I should respect him! How dare you disturb someone's wedding for a woman!" The old man is more and more angry and his tone is more and more impolite.
Hearing the name of XXX, Lucien is also slightly surprised. He didn't expect Mayor Lewis to have such a background. XXX is very powerful. No matter how powerful Gray Family is, it can't compete with the state machine!
"Lucien, come to America right away. You take over the company in Chicago. Don't interfere in the business of city C. I'll get your uncle back to deal with it." The old man's tone is very firm.
Lucien is silent. It's really unwise for him to stay in C now, but he's more unlikely to find Nina if he leaves here for Chicago.
"Lucien! I've booked you a ticket. Go to Chicago tomorrow morning. Do what I say." With that, Grandpa Gray hangs up.
