Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 538: Sending Abigail off to School in Broad Daylight

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Sending Abigail off to School in Broad Daylight

The restaurant.

Abigail looked at the increasingly rich breakfast spread over the past few days and couldn’t help but raise her head. "Did we recently change the head chef?"

"No." Brandon Piers said, trying a bite of the crystal bun, which wasn’t bad.

"Then what is this?" Abigail looked at the full breakfast table, which included not only Western food but also Hong Kong-style, Cantonese-style, and even some local specialties.

"Probably because they felt a layoff crisis coming." Brandon replied casually, making the kitchen staff worried sick when they didn’t eat well for the past two days.

Abigail nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, what do you think of Sophie Hope? If she’s not suitable, we can replace her." Brandon Piers asked lightly. He had planned to ask about this after the incident, but was too angry at the time to follow through and intended to seek Abigail’s opinion now.

"Wasn’t she a student before?" Abigail asked curiously.

"Sort of."

"Then let her continue studying. Do you plan to send her somewhere else again?" Abigail gave Brandon a sidelong glance. "Besides, last time’s incident wasn’t her fault. It was my own naivety."

"As long as you know that." Brandon heard this and knew Abigail’s intention. He considered Abigail and Sophie to have established a friendship, so he hadn’t sent her away without consulting Abigail. freēnovelkiss.com

"It won’t happen again," Abigail said softly, promising Brandon and herself that she would only rescue people in a safe environment.

"So obedient? The reward is that I’ll take you to school," Brandon said with a satisfied smile.

Abigail couldn’t help but laugh. Since when was this considered a reward?

However, she hadn’t forgotten about Pullan. "Is Pullan badly injured?"

"It’s not a big problem. He can come back in a few days. Why, do you miss him?" As Brandon finished explaining, he suddenly changed the topic.

Abigail, "..." What kind of man is this?

After secretly Tsukkomi-ing, Abigail took a vinegar bottle from the delicate plate nearby and considerately added a little to Brandon’s egg custard. "Two drops are just right; more would be too sour."

Brandon, "... I don’t eat vinegar."

"Oh." I don’t believe you.

Brandon, "..." This bad woman!

"By the way, did he agree not to join the research lab?" Brandon didn’t want to be petty about the vinegar and changed the topic.

"Yes, he didn’t seem reluctant and agreed quite straightforwardly." Abigail recalled Jeffrey Foster’s attitude.

Brandon frowned. "I will assign two more people to you. Usually, you should stay close to Sophie Hope. The first competition is in five days. If he really plans to act, he won’t stay idle. I will also allocate more people to Grandpa Smith."

"Okay." For such arrangements, Abigail was willing to listen to Brandon.

"Also... I suspect he might know you are Abigail. There were too many inconsistencies in the way Duncan Symons and Doris Symons behaved last time. Someone else might have intervened." Brandon looked at Abigail and, after some hesitation, voiced his doubts.

Abigail nodded. She also felt that many aspects were suspicious. "Were those two middle-aged couples found?"

"No, like Doris Symons, it’s as if they’ve vanished from this world." Speaking of this, a layer of coldness rolled over Brandon’s eyes. If he couldn’t find them, they were either dead or had entered the international black market.

He thought the latter was more likely.

Abigail understood the gravity of the situation and nodded. "If it doesn’t work out, I’ll bring Grandpa over too."

"Okay." Brandon’s mouth said okay, but his face showed disdain. However, in the next moment, his tone became very serious. "Abigail, just because you’re investigating something doesn’t mean you have to join the lab. I can help you."

Abigail was taken aback. She knew he was referring to her death investigation. Considering the detective agency she had hired had made no progress so far, she could only give a light "hmm."

After breakfast, Brandon sent Abigail to school.

Abigail’s identity exposure had the biggest advantage for Brandon, as he could openly take her to school.

For the past few days, various rumors had been rampant at the school. Many people even thought that Abigail had already been discarded by the second young master. Such a fat girl, she must have used a child to bind the second young master. Now that this incident had come out, it was no wonder she was abandoned.

So, when Brandon sent Abigail off the car, many people saw and became petrified in place, silently watching as the second young master waved Abigail goodbye before getting back into the car.

Sophie Hope walked up from nowhere, glanced at the second young master in the car, and patted Abigail lightly. "Happiness."

"He was just passing by." Abigail smiled and explained. Her eyes held a gentle sweetness.

"Mmm hmm, passing by." Sophie teased in agreement.

As they walked away, Jeffrey Foster got out of his car. He really hadn’t expected that Elaine Tours’s uproar would not break their relationship but actually mend it completely.

Jeffrey Foster chuckled bitterly. He had underestimated their feelings.

But because of this, he felt even more unwilling and restless.

Entering the campus, Jeffrey Foster felt the odd looks from everyone. Although the school had clarified the incident last time, the ambiguous video of him and Abigail was widely exposed. Many students had seen it. So even though they knew the truth, they still looked at him with disappointment and gossip.

But none of this mattered to him.

Calmly, he entered the classroom and began today’s courses.

Abigail remembered Brandon’s words from this morning and couldn’t help but scrutinize Jeffrey Foster. However, she saw nothing unusual about him.

The other party behaved as though nothing had happened, attending class with the usual calm and elegance, unaffected by the last incident and showing no special emotions towards her.

Abigail wasn’t sure if he was hiding it well or if her observation skills were lacking.

But after the anatomy class, Jeffrey Foster looked at their group. "Those who won awards in the student medical skills competition stay behind. The rest can leave."

After the others left, Jeffrey Foster looked at the five of them. "Abigail won’t be able to intern at the research lab due to personal reasons. So the remaining four will go to the lab with me this Friday. Any objections?"

Unlike Sincere Hospital’s underground lab, Jeffrey Foster’s research lab in Swallow City was Foster’s property, now under his control.

Lena Locke’s eyes lit up, Wilson Jasper’s were full of yearning, Sophie seemed calm but had a hint of longing, and Davis Hudson, after becoming familiar with Abigail, had reverted to his carefree nature. Whether he goes or not, he didn’t care.

Abigail knew Jeffrey Foster was always thorough. Since he had publicly stated this, he would certainly keep his promise. Moreover, with so many people aware of the four going to the lab, he wouldn’t let anything happen to them.

Taking a moment, she nodded to Sophie, who had looked at her questioningly. With Sophie there, she felt more at ease with the others going too.

At this moment, Lena Locke couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Mr. Foster, are we going on Friday to learn?"

"Not yet. There’s an all-artificial heart transplant surgery happening in the lab on Friday. This surgery is different from previous ones, using new technology developed by our lab. You can observe it from outside." Jeffrey Foster patiently and warmly explained to Lena.

They all froze in surprise together!
