Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Our Second Young Master is Even More Powerful

Outside the courthouse.

Lincoln Green saw Abigail, who was followed by Brandon Piers’ personal bodyguard. Hesitating, he approached her. “Abigail…”

Abigail turned to look at Lincoln. Under his suit, he was still wearing a hospital gown. He looked pale and despondent, with none of the success of the businessman she remembered when she was reborn. Her emotions were complex, but her voice remained consistently cold. “What is it?”

“Abigail, will you forgive your father?” Lincoln asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Abigail felt a sense of bleakness. She looked at the man who had aged considerably before her. “I’m sorry, I can’t speak for her.”

With that, Abigail turned and got into the car.

Lincoln’s body stiffened slightly. His hand instinctively reached out to grab Abigail but fell short. He looked down at his empty palm and then up again. The car Abigail was in had already started and quickly disappeared from view.

The caregiver responsible for taking Lincoln back stepped forward. “Mr. Green, your car is over there.”

“Oh.” Lincoln responded dully, still gazing in the direction where Abigail had left. He murmured lowly to himself, “Is it really not Abigail?”

How could this be?

But no one could answer Lincoln’s question.

“Mr. Green?” The caregiver gently urged him again.

Lincoln finally came to his senses, lowered his head, and followed the caregiver to the car.

…

In Abigail’s car.

Watching the man sitting casually in the car, she found it strange. “When did you get here?”

“Handling some matters, just passing by.” Compared to the man’s casual posture, Brandon’s answer was even more offhand.

Abigail scrutinized the man carefully, as if to ask, “Are you sure?”

“Ahem, how did it go?” Brandon intentionally cleared his throat to change the topic.

“As expected. Pullan hasn’t reported to you?”

Suddenly being CUE’d, Pullan immediately sat up straight, indicating he hadn’t heard anything.

“Oh, Pullan, did you report?” Brandon didn’t let him off.

Pullan felt bitter and, after some consideration, said, “Not yet. I need the young lady’s consent.” He thought this answer was quite clever. After he spoke, he casually closed the chat window with the second young master.

“Hmm, he hasn’t reported.” Brandon was satisfied, turning his head and calmly informing Abigail.

Abigail believed their little act, but recalling Pullan’s expression today, she couldn’t help but praise him. “I usually don’t realize how capable Pullan is. He saved Lincoln’s life with just a cell phone.”

Brandon, “…” Why did she have to praise another man in front of him? He glanced at Pullan.

Pullan suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on the back of his head and hurriedly said, “Young lady, our second young master is much more capable.” He didn’t even have time to mourn his shattered phone screen before feeling sorry for himself.

Amused by Pullan’s strong survival instinct, Abigail teased the man beside her. “The judgment result was within your expectations. However, there is one thing I need to confirm. Is the Green family gardener, Johnson, Rose Taylor’s first love, Felix Harrison? Also, fifteen years ago, Felix was sentenced to three years in prison for a hit-and-run. I suspect the person he hit was Minnie Swift.”

After saying this, Abigail felt it was inappropriate and added, “My mother.”

Brandon frowned. “Why do you think so?”

“I just discovered that there are many similarities between Johnson and the young Felix. He looks very different now, but appearances can change, and people’s skulls set in their teens. I believe they are the same person. As for whether Felix hit my mother back then, I’m just suspicious. It needs to be investigated.” Abigail answered earnestly.

If the facts were as she speculated, Rose Taylor was indeed unforgivable!

“I’ll have someone investigate immediately.” Brandon nodded. If this Johnson was indeed Rose’s first love, then he had been around Rose and her mother for all these years.

That would make Lincoln, the stepfather…

What a joke!

“Thank you.” Abigail thanked him softly. If it weren’t for the man beside her, it wouldn’t have been so easy to avenge Lin Xia Qing.

“Saying thank you requires sincerity. You, woman, always like to be glib.” Brandon was dissatisfied.

Abigail, “…” She had never seen such an impolite gentleman!

After a long pause, “How would you like me to thank you?”

“You owe me a favor from last time, so this time, add another one. I’ll tell you when I think of something.” Brandon said leisurely, not feeling at all that it was inappropriate to demand a woman’s gratitude like this.

“Haha, take your time to think.” Inwardly, Abigail rolled her eyes at the man, full of disdain.

Sitting at the front, Pullan was extremely worried for his second young master. How could you do this? When pursuing a girl, you have to be generous. Last time, you took back the diamond wedding dress, which was stingy enough. Now after helping the young lady with something, you’re keeping tabs again? How can this work?

He, with the experience of falling in love in third grade, wanted to persuade the second young master. This wouldn’t do!

Yet, the big “NO” in Pullan’s heart didn’t transmitted to his young master’s mind, and he didn’t have the courage to say it out loud. He thought about it and opened the online shopping app, eventually selecting a few highly-rated books: “How to Make the Person You Love Fall in Love with You,” “How to Find Your Partner,” “Super Love Hypnosis,” and finally added “My Lovely Wife Loves Me Every Day” to the cart.

Done, he clicked to order and sent them anonymously to the second young master.

“Hehe.” After completing the purchase, Pullan chuckled happily.

Abigail and Brandon felt uncomfortable with Pullan’s sudden laughter, especially Brandon, who kicked the back of the passenger seat, “Are you in heat?”

“Huh? No, I’m not.” I’m innocent!

“Then why are you laughing like a cat in the spring?” Brandon scorned.

Pullan was stunned for a while before reacting. Damn it, how did he laugh like a spring cat? How did he? He was a man of steel!

Abigail, like Pullan, was in a daze for a while. This man’s way of cursing was elegant!

Only she didn’t know, the second young master didn’t curse himself like this behind her back.

Pullan felt extremely wronged. Who was he doing this for, who?

The car drove back to Piers’ Mansion. Compared to the tense atmosphere earlier, it was much more relaxed now.

Back at the mansion, Aunt Claudia was already waiting for Abigail. She had been waiting for the result of this case too. Hearing that Rose received a twelve-year sentence, her eyes turned red instantly.

Seeing this, Abigail reached out and held Aunt Claudia’s hand. “It’s all over now.”

But as Abigail said this, she knew some things could pass, while others might not.

“I’m fine, just feeling sorry for the hardships you’ve endured all these years.” Aunt Claudia hugged Abigail, murmuring softly.

Abigail gently patted her back, knowing the hardships Aunt Claudia had endured over the years were no less than Lin Xia Qing’s. But thinking of Johnson, she couldn’t help but frown. “Aunt Claudia, when did Johnson come to the Green family? Before he came, had you seen him?”

Aunt Claudia didn’t expect Abigail to suddenly ask about him. Having been with the Green family for years, she naturally knew who Johnson was. But he was always silent and had a very low presence. She couldn’t recall when he first arrived. “It seemed he came not long after Rose and her daughter arrived at the Green family. Initially, he just did odd jobs. Later, Rose thought he was honest and meticulous with his work, so she kept him on. Why are you suddenly asking about him, Abigail?”

“He might be the person who hit my mother back then.”

“What?”
