Day Eight..

~~*****~~

Nathan was displeased to see Abigail's messy appearance. She looked like she was harassed by someone. But he didn't like to believe it as he knew that Abigail was strong.

He experienced it by himself. She wouldn't let anyone look down on her. She was not the kind of woman who was considered a damsel in distress. She was a bold one.. a fiercer one.

That's why he didn't know why she was looking like that. 'What is she trying to play here? Pretending to be weak?' Nathan hated that idea. He was used to seeing her in her brave front.

Meanwhile, Abigail could somehow guess the meaning of Nathan's piercing gaze. 'I knew it! He wouldn't buy this. Damn. I'm in trouble.'

Abigail smiled sheepishly at Nathan, a hint of guilt visible in her emerald eyes. She bit her lower lip before looking at the floor, avoiding Nathan's prying gaze.

But Nathan frowned deeply, glancing only at Abigail's face when her eyes were elsewhere. No one spoke among them because of the overbearing presence of Nathan. He was surrounded by a chilly aura and just one stare from him could send shivers down their spines.

From his posture and all, they could tell that this man before them was outstanding with a powerful background as well.

Nathan removed his tuxedo suit and traced his steps toward Abigail. He used his suit to cover Abigail's body.

On the other hand, Abigail was caught off guard by Nathan's thoughtful action. Well, at least, he was acting like a gentleman right now. She didn't ruin her dress for nothing!

The two ladies gnashed their teeth after seeing Nathan's protective gesture toward Abigail. There was a glint of envy in their eyes. They were still cursing Abigail inwardly.

"Later, we will talk. I need your proper explanation for this," Nathan whispered to Abigail, placing his hand at the back of her waist as he pulled her closer to him.

"Your woman assaulted my girlfriend. We will file a complaint against her!" The man in a white tuxedo declared, challenging Nathan. His woman was also there so he had to impress her. He didn't want to lose against this man.

"I can testify!" the tallest woman blurted out confidently. She joined her friend and her friend's boyfriend as they blocked Abigail and Nathan from leaving. They wouldn't let them escape. That woman had to pay for hurting them.

Nathan's expression grew hard as he was losing his patience. He didn't want to waste his precious time hearing their complaints.

"Supreme Leader, do you want me to step up and deal with this?" Chantha's voice resounded in Nathan's earpiece. She was at the back, secretly watching this scene.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0/v3l--B1n.

In fact, she was the first one who learned about the commotion in the Ladies' room. Knowing that her Supreme Leader's woman was involved in this, she immediately reported it to Nathan.

She happened to witness what happened as she followed Abigail in the comfort room secretly. She wanted to know her identity so she went there to talk to Abigail personally.

Who would have thought that Abigail would be so aggressive, slapping the woman and fighting the two fearlessly? Chantha admired her for that. She was a strong-willed woman and a clever one, worthy of becoming their Supreme Leader's wife. Chantha approved of her right away.

Nathan just motioned Chantha to stay put. He wanted to see how Abigail would get out of this mess. She brought this upon herself so it would be fascinating to see how she would defend herself without relying on someone.

He just intervened because they were trying to remove Abigail's mask. She was still in danger so she must not show herself in public yet.

The two ladies and the man were still pressuring Abigail to apologize when another important figure arrived. A beautiful woman in her mid-40s entered the Lady's room accompanied by four guards and by the hotel manager.

"Ladies and gentlemen.. Do we have a problem here?" She asked them in her gentle tone.

She's the owner of EDSJ Five Star Hotel– Priyanshi Patel. She was one of the Billionaires in Towerville City, leading the Patel Conglomerates. She was known as Madam Priya.

She was on the way to greet the birthday celebrant when she heard that a ruckus happened in the Lady's room, involving some important guests of the banquet.

"Madam Priya!" The guy in his white tuxedo immediately greeted Priyanshi Patel politely. They needed her to side with them so that this ill-mannered woman would pay for her actions.

"We apologize for disturbing you. It's just that the woman here assaulted my girlfriend and her friend. See, her face reddened because of the slap mark. And my girlfriend's hair is in a mess because she pulled their hair so hard, making them bump each other's heads. My girlfriend has a concussion in her head because of the impact of the head collision."

"Yes, Madam Priya. That's what happened. You can see her palm mark on my face," the tallest girl showed her reddened face to Madam Priya.

The sophisticated middle-aged woman just bobbed her head after listening to their complaints. Then she shifted her gaze from them to Abigail and Nathan. She waited to hear Abigail's side of the story.

Nathan stayed quiet, allowing Abigail to deal with this problem.

Sensing that Nathan wouldn't speak up for her, Abigail stepped forward, looking straight into Madam Priya's eyes.

"I have nothing to say. When the incident happened, we were the only three people here. So.. it's my words against their words. One versus two so I am at a disadvantage here. Just look at me.." Abigail showed them her ruined dress and her bruise.

"She is one crazy lying bitch. She did that to herself!" The tallest woman butted in, discrediting Abigail's claim.

'She's good at lying,' Nathan thought to himself.

"If you want to file a complaint.. just call this man. Stephen Zhao.." Abigail gave them Stephen's calling card.

Stephen Zhao was known in the Socialites Circle so everyone gasped hearing his name. So this woman knew Stephen Zhao, one of the Magnificent Trio.

On the other hand, someone at her back suddenly emitted another cold and frightening aura. What the hell? He was the one with her right now, but she chose to use Stephen's name, instead of him? The devil was upset! Truly upset!
