Chapter 17 35 55 vouchers The cafeteria ladies ' eyes worked just fine ; Abigail's tiny frame couldn't handle two massive steaks . When Ethan walked by , she casually passed him one . Ethan was overwhelmed . With the end of the month coming up , he was almost broke . He'd blown his meal card buying Abigail two smoothies , planning to survive on bare - bones meals -the steak was like winning the lottery . Just as he was about to thank Abigail , he caught some weird looks . Chalking it up to pure jealousy , he spun around and snapped , " What ? Never seen a sibling being nice to another ? " Everyone quickly looked away , shoving food in their mouths . Lia gently tugged at Abigail's sleeve and whispered , " Weren't you gonna take this steak home for your dog ? " Abigail shrugged . " It still works if he eats it . " Lia glanced at Ethan and zipped it . Ethan was pleased . Feeling like he should reward Abigail for being such a " good sister , " he said , " Next time , I'll even buy you a smoothie again ." Everyone around them went pale . " Smoothie " had become a nightmare for the senior girls- especially after what happened in the restroom that day . Two girls dropped their trays and bolted out of the cafeteria . ' What's their problem ? Do I have bad breath or something ? ' Ethan thought . He cupped his hand over his mouth , breathed into it , and sniffed . ' Where's the stink ? If there's a smell , it's a man's smell . They just don't get it . ' ***** " We can't let Abigail keep walking all over us ." Shawn clenched his fists , boiling with rage . Charlotte was just as fired up . She'd had her hand broken three times , but still couldn't pin anything on Abigail . ' Fine . If I can't bust her , I'll just set her up , ' she thought . ***** After lunch , when Abigail was alone in the restroom , Charlotte lured her to the empty lab building . " What's up ? " Abigail sucked on her post - lunch lollipop , her delicate face blank . 11:21 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 17 ཐཱ 35 55 vouchers Charlotte was seething but kept a fake - sweet smile . " Abigail , come closer . I need to tell you something . " Abigail looked her over . ' Another drama ? Like I'm scared , ' she thought , and stepped closer . Charlotte leaned back dramatically , as if startled . But she didn't fall . Instead , a pen slipped from her pocket and rolled down the steps . " Hold on . I'll grab my pen . " Charlotte called out before hurrying down the steps . Then she went full drama mode . She messed up her hair and clothes , drew fake injuries with lipstick , and threw herself on the ground . She staggered up , pointing at Abigail on the steps , eyes blazing . " Abigail ! " Charlotte shouted . " How dare you push me ? Ouch , my hand . " Right on cue , Lily popped out from her hiding spot . " Charlotte , you totally nailed it , " she said . Charlotte dusted herself off and got to her feet . She scrolled through the video Lily had recorded and smirked , " Abigail , you have no clue what's going on , right ? " Abigail remained expressionless . That poker face can't cover up how dumb you really are , Charlotte thought , grinning . There are no cameras here . " Abigail kept sucking on her lollipop . " Uh - huh . " " Lily has blocked the shot on purpose , " Charlotte continued . Abigail raised an eyebrow . " And ? " " And ? Don't you get it ? " Charlotte grinned . " Lily blocked the view of me coming down the stairs . No one can prove you didn't push me . " And once I cut out the part where I fake it , the video will look like you shoved me down and broke my arm . Surprised ? " After two whole months of trying to set up Abigail - and failing every time - it had driven Charlotte crazy . No matter how many rumors she spread , there was never any real proof of how awful Abigail truly was . ' Finally , I've got my smoking gun on Abigail , Charlotte thought , bursting out laughing . Abigail frowned , " Did your arm actually break ? " Lily jumped in . " Duh , it doesn't have to be real . I just need to wear a cast , and everyone will 11:21 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 17 buy it . " : 35 55 vouchers Abigail nodded . " Oh , so you're into wearing casts , " she said , walking down the stairs . Charlotte's laughter cut off abruptly . She took a step back , her voice trembling . " Wh - what are you going to do ? " " Help you make the evidence more solid , " Abigail grinned . She grabbed Charlotte's hand and twisted it in a split second . This time , it wasn't a sprain . Even Lily heard the sickening crunch of bone breaking . Charlotte's scream caught in her throat as Abigail clamped a hand around her neck . Charlotte froze , cold sweat dripping from her forehead down her cheek onto Abigail's wrist . Abigail frowned in disgust . She hated getting other people's smells on her , especially from someone like Charlotte , who straight up stank . She let go , watching Charlotte collapse . Her left wrist was twisted at a horrifying angle , a bone fragment pushing through her skin . Then Abigail turned to Lily . Lily trembled like crazy . She quickly deleted her messages and held up her phone . " I - I deleted everything . See ? " Abigail took the phone , hurled it to the ground , and stomped hard , smashing it into tiny fragments . Lily felt like her bones were crumbling right along with it . Rarely did Abigail meet someone as fearless and persistent as Charlotte . She dropped a hint . " If you hadn't run your mouth , I might've let you slide . But you just had to brag - so you got exactly what you deserved . " " Abigail Quinn ! " Charlotte screamed , pure rage burning in her eyes . Abigail just walked away without glancing back . Lily stared at the shattered phone , then at Charlotte's mangled wrist , going ghostly pale . " Charlotte , l - let's drop this , okay ? " Lily stammered . " Ever since Abigail left the Yeats family , she's like a total psycho . I - I thought she was gonna kill you just now . So freaking scary ! " She trembled uncontrollably . She tried to look tough , but her body was betraying her . Charlotte was sweating from the pain , but her anger burned even hotter . " What are you so 11:21 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 17 35 55 vouchers . scared of ? Just say she pushed me down the stairs . Without video , your word is evidence . Tons of people saw me come to the lab with her . " Lily waved her hands frantically . " Charlotte , please ! I - I can't do this . For old times ' sake , don't push me . " " Lily Jensen ! " Charlotte couldn't believe her best friend would be such a wimp . Her blood boiled , her eyes blazing with fury . " If I expose this , will you back me up ? " Lily didn't want to throw Charlotte under the bus , but she was terrified of getting her own hand broken . She stayed silent , and that silence spoke volumes . Charlotte jumped up and left . Lily rushed after her , calling out , " Charlotte , wait - let me take you to the hospital." " Don't bother ! " Charlotte snapped . She thought , ' My hand is wrecked for nothing . But just you wait , Abigail - I will make you pay . ' Just after they left , Sophia came down the stairs . She spotted the smashed phone on the floor , bent down , and smirked , " Rookie move . The phone's toast , but the SIM card might still be good . There's evidence left on it . " She cracked open the phone and tried to extract the SIM card . But the tiny chip , smaller than her fingernail , was already smashed into a dozen pieces . 田 AD Comment Send gift Title: After Divorce, My Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire In "After Divorce, My Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire" by CrushReel, the story revolves around Claire, who conceals her immense wealth to marry Milo for love.
