Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 110 A Doting Husband

Layla looked at Abigail and said in a low voice, “Everything is ready. All we need is the right moment. You know, the

old man has always hated me because of Julian’s mother’s death. Therefore, I won’t go look for him for no reason.

But because of that, I don’t have the chance to get close to him.”

Layla suddenly looked at Abigail. “But Abbie, you’re a doctor. You have the best chance of making this work.”

Seeing Abigail hesitate, she instigated again, “Alexander is my only son. You’re his wife, which means you’re my

own daughter. We’re a real family. If Alexander takes over, you’ll be the real matriarch of the family. What kind of

status and glory would that bring?”

Looking at Layla’s anxious expression, Abigail became a little quiet. She thought in her heart, “Her own daughter?”

A few moments earlier, Layla had acted like she wanted her to kneel and admit her mistake, but now she was her

‘own daughter’.

Sure enough, most mothers-in-law were the same. When they needed you, you would be their daughter. When they

didn’t need you, you were trash.

Layla saw that Abigail had not agreed, so she provoked her again, “If Alexander can’t take over Parks Group, it will

be Julian. I think Julian and Annalise are pretty close. If Julian becomes the president of Parks Group and has

complete control over it, then Annalise will be the real matriarch of the family.

“I wonder what Annalise’s personality is like? Is she petty? In the future, at the Parks family’s banquets or when

other families invite the Parks, I wonder if she’d allow you to attend them?”

When Abigail heard Layla’s words, she could not take it anymore. If it was a socialite like Sybil or Lianne, she could

accept people like them stealing her limelight. After all, they had come from good families and were outstanding

women.

But who was Annalise?

Now that Annalise had married Julian, would she be ordering Abigail around?

Abigail gritted her teeth and said with a cold glint in her eyes, “Mom, I’ll think of a way.”

A glint of triumph flashed across Layla’s eyes. She lowered her voice and said, “Be extremely careful. Even if you

fail, it doesn’t matter. You must not leave any evidence behind. If you do, no one will protect you.”

“Don’t worry. I will be careful.” Abigail squinted again.

She had already decided that from that night onwards, she would bring Samuel soup every night.

She added a lot of ginger to the soup.

There was nothing wrong with the soup. It was just that there was a lot of ginger, and it was heaty. If one ate it at

night, they would be filled with warm energy. It would be easy for one’s cold and hot energy to be unbalanced.

Older people typically did not sleep well. After drinking too much ginger soup, they would suffer from insomnia.

Without proper sleep, all kinds of illnesses would occur. Besides, Samuel was already suffering from many

conditions.

With Abigail’s plan, his body would fall gravely ill in less than half a month.

What was she guilty of? All she did was feel sorry for Samuel and made some nourishing soup for him. “It’s good

that you know what you’re doing. Be careful.” Layla held Abigail’s hand and gently patted the back of her hand.

Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Abbie, this is the critical moment in Alexander and Julian’s fight for power.

Once Samuel dies, as long as our apparel sales exceed Julian’s, we’ll be able to show the sales figures. With

Christopher and your father’s support, don’t you think the president’s position will be Alexander’s?”

Abigail’s eyes lit up. “Is Grandpa Christopher on Alexander’s side, too?”

She had always thought that Christopher supported Albert and Timothy.

Layla said smugly, “Of course!”

Abigail felt even more confident.

Once Alexander took over, the first thing she would do was humiliate Annalise and vent the unhappiness in

her heart.

After Julian and Annalise finished playing around, he took her to the mall.

Annalise did not want to go. She preferred to walk by the river or sit in the park to enjoy the breeze.

But Julian told Annalise that there was a lucky draw at the mall that day, and he wanted to test his luck.

Annalise was surprised. She pointed at Julian with a smile. “You? Lucky draw? You’re the young master of the Parks

family, and you want to try your luck?*

“Yeah!” Julian raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Who doesn’t enjoy being lucky?”

“That’s true,” Annalise laughed. “I want to try my luck, too, then.”

People always said, “Win some, lose some.” He had won Annalise’s heart, but such lucky draw events were similar

to gambling. Generally, there was a high likelihood that he might lose.

Of course, there were also exceptions. Some people were born with good luck. No matter what they do, everything

would go smoothly for them.

“Let’s go.” Julian took Annalise to the mall.

The mall was extremely crowded. Many people were queuing up to purchase some lottery tickets.

When the staff realized there were too many tickets being bought, he brought out a few more boxes to place the

lottery tickets in.

The rule of the lucky draw was that one could obtain a lottery ticket for shopping in the building. Each ticket would

be equivalent to 1,500 dollars’ worth of receipt.

This lucky draw event was held in celebration of the boss, who had found his soulmate, so it was really impressive.

The special prize was a BMW, which was worth millions of dollars.

The first prize was a cosmetics set worth 5,500 dollars.

The second prize was 2,800 dollars’ worth of jewelry.

It was said that there were many first and second prizes, too.

Of course, to spread the joy around, participants might also win some meaningful activities besides the

prizes.

Hearing such an event, everyone was surprised.

Not only were the first and second prizes so expensive, but there were also many other prizes to win. How could

they not be tempted?

If not for the fact that the ‘Rendezvous’ building had an excellent reputation, everyone would have suspected that

this event was a scam.

But now, everyone was rushing over to make their purchase. Some even called their relatives and friends, inviting

them over to shop. Since everyone needed daily necessities anyway, they might as well raise 1,500 dollars’ worth

of receipts and exchange them for a lottery ticket. If they were lucky enough to win a first or second prize, they

would make a killing.

Hence, many had crowded to buy daily necessities and all kinds of non-perishable things.

Annalise stood on the first floor of the mall, looking at the pink banner hanging over the building entrance. On it

were the details of today’s event. She smiled and said, “I’m guessing this boss must be a woman.”

Julian was speechless. He thought, “How do I look like a woman?”

He smiled and asked Annalise, “Why do you think so?”

Annalise said, “Only women can be so thoughtful and romantic. Most men are too candid.”

Julian smiled. He felt he must have given Annalise too few gifts, giving her the illusion that he was just like any other

man.

‘Let’s go buy some things. We’ll spend 1,500 dollars and exchange it for lottery tickets,” Annalise said.

“No need. Wait a moment,” Julian said.

He made a call and said, “I’m here. First floor!”

Soon, someone came over and politely addressed Julian as Mr. Parks. He then handed Julian a thick stack of lottery

tickets.
