Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 556 Elder Piers Knows the Truth

"What happened to Abigail?" Aunt Claudia’s voice carried a hint of tears as soon as she spoke.

Grandfather Piers was taken aback. It was only then he saw Aunt Claudia behind his grandson and realized that the people in the manor likely didn’t know yet. His eyes reddened with anger. "It’s a sin!"

"I’ve seen it. That body isn’t Abigail’s. I’ve already sent people to look for her. We will find her. You all need to believe me." Brandon Piers looked at his grandfather, answering with unwavering certainty.

He believed Abigail was alive and that he would definitely find her and bring her home.

Moreover, he firmly believed Abigail was waiting for him to bring her home.

"Are you sure? But the police..." Grandfather Piers looked at his grandson’s haggard appearance, remembering the video he saw online of Brandon’s almost manic breakdown. At his age, the last time he saw his grandson like this was when his son had a car accident. It made his heart ache.

"I believe him." Just as the heavy atmosphere in the living room became stifling, Old Mr. Smith walked out with a cane, speaking firmly.

Grayson Piers’s body shook. Why was this old man still in his house?

"I believe Abigail is still alive. That Foster family hypocrite has always been good at manipulating people. He came up with all these tricks to cover himself. How could he possibly be dead?" Church Smith ignored Grayson Piers’s confusion and continued speaking.

Grandfather Piers, upon hearing this, said, "The Foster family hypocrite? Are you talking about Dean Foster of Sincere? What does he have to do with this?"

"We suspect he’s the one who abducted Abigail," Brandon Piers added.

"Why?" This time, Grandfather Piers and Aunt Claudia asked almost simultaneously.

Both of them were very puzzled.

Grandfather Piers had seen the news and knew about some of the dirty comments online, but he knew Abigail was innocent. She only had a teacher-student relationship with Jeffrey Foster; it wasn’t what people were saying. Besides, they barely knew each other. Why go through such lengths to kidnap her?

It seemed too exaggerated!

Aunt Claudia couldn’t understand either. She had met Dean Foster. He was a refined, gentle, and handsome young man. How could he commit such a heinous act?

Brandon Piers knew that they wouldn’t believe him.

Without the background of the pudgy kid being Dr. Smith, this indeed sounded absurd.

Brandon looked at Aunt Claudia. "Aunt Claudia, Abigail’s incident is somewhat related to me. However, you can rest assured that I will bring her back, even if it means going to the ends of the earth. But before that, please take care of Teddy for me."

"I... alright." Aunt Claudia, having spent some time with the Piers family, had some understanding of Brandon. She knew he wasn’t someone who made promises lightly. Although she felt uneasy and was filled with worry for Abigail, upon hearing Brandon’s words, she knew that saying anything now would be futile. Instead, at this moment, it was even more crucial to take good care of Teddy.

"Thank you." Brandon Piers bowed to Aunt Claudia.

Aunt Claudia couldn’t take it, hurriedly said a few words, and then went upstairs to look after Teddy.

After Aunt Claudia left, Brandon Piers looked at his grandfather.

Grandfather Piers glared at his grandson. "Don’t try to fool me."

"Let’s talk over there." Brandon Piers pointed to the sofa, then looked at Church Smith. "Grandpa Smith, please join us as a witness."

Church Smith nodded.

Seeing the two so solemn, Grayson Piers’s heart began to sink.

Housekeeper Piers, seeing this, quickly served tea to the three men. Then, he gestured for the remaining people in the residence to leave.

"What do you really want to say? Don’t beat around the bush. What’s up with Abigail? How could she have been abducted by that Foster kid?" Grayson Piers asked.

Brandon Piers glanced at Old Mr. Smith.

Church Smith nodded at him, and only then did Brandon start speaking. "Abigail is not just Abigail Green. She is also Abigail Smith. You heard correctly. She is Abigail Smith, Grandpa Smith’s granddaughter. She previously died suddenly and was reborn in the body of Abigail Green, who had died in childbirth. After Jeffrey Foster discovered this, he kept pestering Abigail. When he didn’t succeed, he set up this whole scheme..."

Brandon tried to simplify and clarify things as much as possible. But after hearing it, Grandfather Piers was still bewildered. After living over eighty years, this was the first time he heard something so ridiculous. Rebirth? Was this a novel?

But as he glanced between his grandson and Old Smith, he saw their earnest expressions. They didn’t seem to be joking. His body trembled. "Is this... true?"

It seemed too extravagant. But then the old man started thinking about many things. For instance, how could that young girl from the Green family, a first-year medical student on a year-long break, perform chest surgery on his grandson? How could she master the Tai Chi Eighteen Forms so perfectly, while Old Mr. Smith was indeed a Tai Chi master...

And his grandson had replaced the bride at the engagement scene. He had investigated Abigail Green, a very unremarkable girl who had been bullied by her stepmother and stepsister and experienced various bullying at school. She was very ordinary, completely unlike the Abigail he knew.

He hadn’t thought much of it then, but now, hearing his grandson say this, he connected the dots. It was like she had become a completely different person!

"Is this really true?" They didn’t directly respond to Grayson Piers. Instead, they let him think it over before asking again.

Brandon Piers nodded.

Old Mr. Smith sighed. "Do you think I would mistake my own granddaughter?"

"This... isn’t necessarily the case." Grayson Piers said without much confidence. He certainly wouldn’t mistake his own grandson.

Church Smith was too lazy to argue with him. "What’s your plan now?"

Once he said this, the room grew so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

What plan? What plan could he have now? Every moment felt like he was going mad with anxiety.

"The only thing to do now is figure out his route and his potential destination. I’ve already instructed people to gather and organize their movements. Since Jeffrey Foster is willing to go to such lengths for Abigail, the place he chooses to stay should be one she likes. Grandfather, do you know which foreign city Abigail likes the most?" Brandon Piers tried to stay calm.

Church Smith paused. "A foreign city Abigail likes? She has a mild temperament. Even New Haven, where she lived for four years, didn’t seem to particularly enchant her..."

Although he said this, the old man felt a bit deflated. He had always thought he indulged his granddaughter, but now he realized he didn’t understand Abigail at all at a crucial moment.

Brandon Piers nodded. "I will focus on the cities she has visited."

"In any case, you must find Abigail. That’s an order." Grandfather Piers looked at his grandson sternly. As long as Abigail was still alive, everything else could be worked out.

Brandon Piers ignored his grandfather and looked outside. "Uncle Piers, arrange for my grandfather to rest well."

As he finished speaking, Kelvin Max entered with some documents. Brandon Piers didn’t want to waste time with the two old men and went straight to the study.

Kelvin Max spread out the documents he had gathered overnight. "Second Young Master, these are the places tracked from Dr. Smith and Dean Foster’s trajectories..."

Before he could finish, Kelvin Max felt a piercing gaze from Brandon.

Kelvin Max shuddered. "I mean, the places where Jeffrey Foster might have taken your wife..."

"Mm, continue."
