100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 378 Stay With Abi Or See Phantomflake

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 name… her image and her reputation as a versatile actress.

Richard motioned for Abigail to leave some messages for everyone. Several cameras were directed at her. The reporters started approaching the stage. They were waiting for Abigail to come down.

Dave immediately proceeded to the stage, getting ready to assist and escort Abigail. He would protect her from the reporters.

The clicking sounds of the cameras could be heard as the reporters took her photos. Her comeback would become a headline after this Star Gala.

Meanwhile, Abigail's eyes scanned the venue, looking at the people around her.

'A message? What should I tell these people?'

Abigail noticed some jealousy in the eyes of other artists. Some 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 members 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 involvement 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 me. I might have kept you waiting, but here I am now… I'm back." Her words were full of meaning.

'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 moment she smiled, several men were captivated by her charm! She was beautiful and stunning tonight… making the men 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 something. "Miss Abi, I will introduce you to someone. 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 some questions. But Dave came to her rescue immediately, 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 time 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 treatment Richard was giving to Abigail. They became more bitter and hostile toward Abigail. They presumed 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 meet the members of the Yan Family and talk to them. If someone already knew my identity and my connection to the family, that person would become my first suspect.' Abigail thought to herself, glancing at the members of the Yan Family.

Richard gave Abigail enough time 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 became different, you've improved a lot." Santra immediately 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. Something happened to Phatomflake. She showed another sign of improvement. 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 improvement. 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 moment. 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 Supreme Leader.

"Master, it looks like Miss Abi is searching for you," Axel informed 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 me from time to time if something significant happens to her."

Stephen was taken aback for a moment. This was the first time Nathan didn't rush to go there to see Phantomflake. He recalled that Nathan was always rushing to Phantomflake whenever something happened to her.

'Is that party more important to him than seeing Phantomflake waking up?' Stephen wondered to himself.
