Kapitel 22: Accusation

Day Two…

[ Mission Strategy Number 2: Serve Him Like A King! ]

~~*****~~

Abigail looked out of the car window and surveyed the surroundings carefully. The car was approaching the main gate. She strained her eyes into the distance to where the big facility was located. It looked familiar to her.

'Wait. I think I've been there,' Abigail thought to herself. She could feel a sense of familiarity with the surrounding environment.

When the car entered the gate, Abigail had remembered it. She confirmed her assumption! This was not the main HQ of Syphiruz but this was one of their hideouts.

Furthermore, this hideout was a medical facility owned by Syphiruz, one of the headquarters of the organization.

'Damn!' She cursed inwardly. 'I remember now! This is the place where my original body is being held captive by the devil.'

She wondered why she was brought there by Nathan's bodyguard. Were they trying to expose Nathan to her as the Supreme Leader of Syphiruz?

Nathan Sparks was hiding his other identity as a leader of a mafia organization. He was only known as Supreme Leader or 'The Devil'. Only a few people in the underground world knew about his identity as Nathan Sparks. One of them was Lady Phantomflake.

When she received her mission, Phantomflake did a thorough research and background check on Nathan so she found out his real identity as Nathan Sparks– the CEO of SYP Starlight Corporation.

Abigail snapped out of her deep thoughts when the car stopped in front of the building and the bodyguard opened the car door.

"Get out," one bodyguard ordered her sternly. He tried to grab her elbow to pull her out but Abigail hit his hand, not allowing him to touch her.

"I can get out on my own," Abigail responded, voluntarily stepping out of the car.

The bodyguard shot her a cold sharp glare. Abigail's behavior could annoy him. She was so calm and not affected by this dire situation she was in. She looked like she didn't care as if she didn't do anything wrong against their Big Boss, Nathan.

'Are they planning to detain me in this facility? My original body is already trapped here, and now Nathan plans to confine even my soul and this new body here.' Abigail scowled at that thought. She roamed her eyes around the surroundings.

She could see that the facility was heavily guarded by armed men. At first, she thought this facility was more like a prison cell than a medical facility because of the ambiance of the surroundings.

The main guard let them in after seeing Abigail and Nathan's three family bodyguards. She was being escorted to the third floor where someone was waiting for her for the interrogation.

As they took the lift, Abigail was already thinking of how she would deal with Nathan. Should she apologize for what happened or should she insist on her innocence? She had no ill-motive for cooking Nathan's food. Bam-Bam already warned her not to kill Nathan while using Abigail's body.

Ding!

The door of the elevator slid open. Abigail clenched her fists, still undecided what she should do in facing Nathan. She might be calm outside, but deep inside, she was struggling with how she would explain this to Nathan. She had no proof. She wondered if Nathan would listen or believe her words.

The three bodyguards continued guiding her until they reached the room. Abigail frowned as soon as she saw the three people inside– Butler Li, Chef Min, and Chef Min's assistant cook.

'Why are they here?' Abigail asked herself. Then her eyes reflexively scanned the room, looking for Nathan. She wanted to see him, wondering about his current condition. She heard that Nathan suddenly collapsed a few minutes after eating the lunchbox she made for him.

'Is the Devil okay? Where is he?'

Her eyes lit up when the other door was pushed open, anticipating Nathan's arrival. Axel entered first, followed by someone. However, the gleam in Abigail's eyes disappeared as soon as she saw Axel's companion.

It was not Nathan, but a beautiful woman wearing a white coat. She might be a doctor in that facility. Her eyes and Abigail's eyes met for a moment. The doctor sized Abigail up, giving her a ridiculing look. She didn't hide the displeasure on her face.

"Is she the one who poisoned Nathan?" The doctor asked them.

"Yes, Doc. Veronica. She was the one who cooked the food for Master Nathan." Chef Min answered, pointing his finger at Abigail. The assistant cook also nodded her head to support Chef Min's claim.

'This woman… She looks similar to someone…' Abigail tried to recall it. Then Monica's beautiful face flashed in her mind.

'I remember her. She's Veronica, Monica's elder sister!' Her eyes widened for a moment.

But she was able to hide her emotions right away.

"You are accusing the wrong person. Miss Abigail didn't have any intention to poison our Master. She just wanted to cook food for him as a sign of her apology for entering his room without his consent," Butler Li explained spontaneously, defending Abigail.

However, his statement made Veronica's expression darken. How could this woman do that? Veronica became more irritated just thinking about that. Even she herself was not allowed to enter his room whenever she would visit Nathan, Monica, and Ethan before.

'Is she trying to seduce Nathan? No way! I can't let her do that. Nathan should be mine!' Veronica clenched her jaw while looking daggers at Abigail.

Meanwhile, Axel was also shocked when he heard that. 'Eh? She went inside his room. Nathan didn't want outsiders to enter his room other than Ethan and me.'

"We don't believe you! Master collapsed right after eating lunch. She might have an ulterior motive for approaching our Master. Butler Li! Why are you defending her? Don't tell us you connive with this woman? Did you betray our Master?! How dare you?" Chef Min also involved Butler Li as he was pissed off by him. Butler Li kept siding with Abigail and defending her.

"Oh right! Butler Li was the one who bought the ingredients!" Assistant Cook also spoke up, pointing a finger at Butler Li.
