Amara\'s face darkened when Abigail talked back to her and hurt her arm just to get the jewelry box.

"Hmmp! You still have the audacity to fight back. You are just a mistress! A cheater and fiancé-stealing bitch!" Amara lashed at Abigail, venting out all her fury and frustration.

She wanted to slap Abigail but she couldn\'t. Abigail caught her wrist tightly, thus stopping her in mid-air.

"Let me go! Don\'t touch me, Bitch!" Amara yanked her wrist away. She was like a raging volcano, spouting what she wanted to say without any filter in her words.

Amara kept calling Abigail \'Bitch\'. Abigail was almost losing her patience. She just tried her best to keep calm in front of Madam Priyanshi. She would like to show them she had some manners and that she was not a war freak, unlike Amara.

"Mom. I think Richard and this woman are scheming something against Nadia. What if they are both trying to deceive her because of our family\'s wealth!" Amara sought help from her mother, Madam Lu.

Meanwhile, Richard was hurt when he heard those accusations. At first, he couldn\'t understand what was happening. But now, he understood that the Yan Family was doubting his intention and sincerity toward Nadia.

He felt sorry for Abigail because she got involved in this. She was innocent. Nothing was going on between them. But the Yan Family started to believe the rumors that Abigail and Richard were secret lovers.

When Richard glanced at Nadia whose face was filled with doubt and distrust... he felt like his heart was torn into tiny pieces. All this time he thought Nadia trusted him. But now, he could tell that Nadia judged them already.

Richard immediately moved to shield Abigail from Amara who kept attacking her.

"Stop this already. Abigail and I are not doing anything wrong. Let us explain first. We are here for a business meeting... because we are discussing her future project together withâ€"" Richard was not able to finish his words when Madam Lu butted in, interrupting him.

"Stop lying already! Talk about business?! Are you kidding us? Do you think we are fools to believe your lies? Flowers and jewelry gift! A romantic dinner... is that a part of business?!" Madam Lu let out a sarcastic laugh. She mocked both Abigail and Richard.

Abigail could only shake her head while sighing deeply. She shifted her gaze back and forth between Amara and Madam Lu. The mother and daughter duo were so annoying in her eyes.

\'Sigh. They are socialites but the way they make a scene is very scandalous. No elegance at all.\' Abigail pursed her lips. They were hot-headed and war freaks. They confronted someone without second thoughts. Before they realized it, they already committed a great mistake.

"With all due respect Madam and Young Mistress, please confirm the fact first before jumping to a conclusion. Otherwise, you will just humiliate yourself in the end." Abigail nonchalantly said, staring at Amara and Madam Lu sharply. There was no sign of guilt on her face.

"Haha! Are you still denying it?" Madam Lu wanted to grab this opportunity to stir more conflict between Abigail and Nadia. With that, Madam Priyanshi would take side. She would certainly protect her beloved daughter.

"You are a gold digger! You care so much about the jewelry box! Did you connive with Richard to deceive Nadia? Your goal is Nadia\'s wealth!" Madam Lu kept on accusing Abigail.

Abigail wasn\'t affected by her sharp words and accusations at all since they were just lies. Furthermore, she had no reason to feel guilty and insecure. In fact, the real Abigail was a missing heiress of the Yan Family.

\'Should I reveal to them that I\'m the missing heiress of the Yan Family to keep their mouths shut?\' Abigail\'s lips curled up into a sly smile. She had the urge to face-slap them by revealing her identity as a member of the Yan Family.

Nathan already got the result of the DNA test. There was no doubt she was a member of the Yan Family. The missing daughter of Alyssa Yan.

To lessen the heavy tension, Madam Priyanshi finally stepped up to control the situation. She patted Madam Lu\'s back while pulling Amara\'s hand.

"Please, calm down. Let\'s talk about this... in a calm manner. Abigail and Richard... I\'ll give you a chance to explain yourselves. The Star Gala is being held in the ballroom hall. You are the main host of this event. You should stay there. Why are you both here?" Madam Priyanshi was acting as a mediator between the two sides. But deep inside, she was worried about her daughter. She didn\'t want her to get hurt.

"CEO Chang already explained the reason why we are here, but no one among you wanted to believe his words." Abigail was not able to hold her tongue.

Amara just sneered at her while Madam Lu gave her another mocking laugh.

It did not take long before another person joined them.

"What did I miss?" A deep baritone voice was heard at the back. Everyone shifted their gazes to the source of that voice.

Amara\'s jaw dropped when her eyes met Alexander\'s brown eyes. Her heart suddenly went wild. \'OMG! What is he doing here?\'

Meanwhile, the smile on Alexander\'s face disappeared quickly when he saw Abigail\'s ruined dress. Her ballgown was soaked with wine.

Alexander immediately closed their gaps and asked her, "What happened to your dress? Did someone pour wine on your dress?"

Alexander didn\'t hide his concern for Abigail. This made Amara more annoyed and furious toward Abigail. She was jealous of her because of the attention Alexander was giving Abigail.

On the other hand, Abigail pointed her finger at Amara, telling Alexander that she was the culprit. Amara wanted to hide when Alexander gave her a cold sharp glare.

\'Damn! Why is he acting so cold toward me?\' Amara bit her lower lip.

"She is at fault here! She seduced Nadia\'s fiancé! I\'m just protecting my family!" Amara reasoned out.

Abigail just raised her eyebrow. "I think Mr. Alexander can explain everything since you don\'t want to believe me and Richard." She turned to Alexander and grabbed his sleeve. "They misunderstood us, thinking that CEO Chang and I are having a romantic dinner here." Abigail immediately found someone who could support their claims.

"Please enlighten them... for me," Abigail said politely, requesting Alexander.
