The Solider Husband - Chapter 620

10 June, City K Ladies Private High School, City K

“As if I cared about that, miss holier than thou Jemma.  All our mother’s hate being reminded that they have teenage daughters, it was just a different reaction.  That does not mean Madam Mo, who normally is wonderful, at least to me, is what people are saying they are.”

“Are you moronic,” shouted Jemma.

Abigail, having finally moved enough to be beside her best friend, placed her hand on her arm, squeezing gently before saying “You do not get it.  Do you think the police would arrest her if there was no evidence to have them believe she would be convicted of what they are charging her with?  Are you that stupid.”  She knew she had the strength for this fight and had to be the one to have it.

“My dad says police can be brought.”

“Amanda, you are crazy.  Who believes that?  Only someone like that, whose father has gone to jail.  Every police officer I have met appears to want to help people.”

“Shut up Abigail.  You can talk.  Your mother is in jail, and didn’t your grandfather kill himself to avoid jail?” came the angry response from Amanda.

“My mother deserves it.  You have no idea what she did to me over the years.  Anything that I could not hide I passed off to the lot of you as me being clumsy.  The broken arms, sprained ankles, broken leg, the bruises.  I could go on, but I will not hide behind the fact that she is my mother any longer.  She does not deserve the title, because of what she did, and what she continues to try to do.  Constant telephone calls demanding that I have the trustees of the fund my father established for my siblings and I when my older sister was born, hand over all the fund to her and that my father needs to give her eighty percent of his company because she wants it, as well as all the assets from their marriage. Then …”

Amanda loudly interrupted “Such a sob story.  Who cares that your parents are divorcing.  Your mother is entitled to everything she wants, because she had to put up with your father, a piece of trash that crawled out of the gutter with her help.  My parents say that your mother married so below her social standing that she deserves everything because it was her social standing that gained it for your father’s business.”

Abigail took a step towards Amanda, and angrily responded “You have to be kidding right.  I know the facts.  My maternal grandfather at the time my parents were married was about to be arrested for embezzlement, fraud, and bribery among other crimes.  The police held off because my mother was pregnant with my sister and my grandfather took the easy way out by committing suicide.  But he was too clever for his own good when negotiating my parent’s pre-nuptial agreement because both kept what they brought to the marriage.  Yes, that was in favour of my mother and protecting the ill-gotten wealth she had access to, but my dad had started his company, that he grew through his hard work, not my mother’s so-called connections.  So, my mother loses out now, not my problem.”

“How can…?”

“Amanda, I can talk about her like that so do not question me,” snapped Abigail.  “She is just like her father, according to her extended family.  She believes that she is above the law and can get away with whatever she wants to do.  I was too young and worried about my family when I was younger, and she abused me, so I did nothing.  But I am not like her and follow the law.  And before you say it, I know I am not perfect and make the occasional misstep and will deal with the consequences of that.  But my loving husband has made me strong enough that I will not put up with her behaviour, including attempts to publicly humiliate me anymore.  Be realistic, none of you would put up with your own mothers verbally abusing you in public and then having you drenched in bubble tea just to ruin your time out with friends.”

Amanda, still ready for the argument said “You are still a s.l.u.t, the daughter of a criminal s.l.u.t.  And a liar.  You are not married to Paul Gu, so tell us the truth.”

Abigail, sick and tired of this, snapped “Whatever Amanda, take yourself and your followers and go away.  If you cannot accept the truth, so be it.  I do not want to argue with an idiot like you anymore.”

“I cannot stand liars, and you are a liar claiming to be married to Paul Gu.  As if someone like him would ever look at you.”

Abigail looked up and saw, that unknown to those around her Paul was determinately walking towards everyone, and smiled.  Before anyone could react, Paul firmly added “You are utterly mistaken.  I am absolutely married to Abigail, and she is the love of my life.  Just back off and leave her alone.  Apologise to her now, for claiming she is a liar and trying to claim she is exactly like that awful mother of hers.  I know exactly what Madam Mo is like, and my wife is nothing like her.  But let me warn you none of your parents will like the outcome if you do not apologise.  The Gu Group will not work with you, nor will Abigail’s family company.  If that is not enough of a threat all I have to do is tell two of my best friends Phillip Rong and Andrew Yao about what you are doing to Abigail and forget about JL International and Jax Corp working with them.”

Paul, gathered Abigail into his arms, gently kissed her hair before lifting his head and saying “And if that is not enough, another friend has become engaged to an Eng Group Heiress…”

Without waiting for a response, Abigail gently pulled out of Paul’s arms before taking his hand and slowly walking away from her school friends.
