Chapter 490: Chapter 490: The Jealous Second Young Master Settles Accounts After Autumn
Until the screen on the phone returned to darkness, Jeffrey Foster remained in the same posture as before.
He had always thought it was an illusion; otherwise, why would he think that a chubby girl would resemble his junior sister, to the point of frantically seeking confirmation from her?
When he was denied, even Jeffrey Foster found himself ridiculous.
Yet, even so, when he looked at her, he would get distracted, as if he was seeing his junior sister.
But now, he received a definite answer directly from Old Mr. Smith.
If such an absurd thing as rebirth really existed in this world, then Abigail could hide it from anyone, but she could never hide it from Grandpa Smith.
That was why he had Abigail Green deliver things to the old man.
Even he didn’t expect that one day he would indeed prove through such a method that Abigail Green was Abigail.
No wonder such a quirky old man would accept Abigail Green and even go to Dr. Smith to take her as a pupil; all these abnormalities had long told him the answer.
Including the scene of Abigail Green performing emergency surgery at the car accident back then. He had clearly recognized her but had been deceived by her.
But why did she deceive him? He was the one she trusted most, apart from Grandpa Smith!
Thinking of this, Jeffrey’s mind suddenly recalled Abigail sitting in the sunlight that afternoon, her eyes sharp as she asked, “Why did Dr. Smith die?”
Why did Dr. Smith die…
She was suspecting him!
Just by sorting things out briefly, Jeffrey understood everything.
Abigail suspected that her death was related to him, so after her rebirth, she recognized Grandpa, got engaged to Brandon, but closed her heart solely to him.
The man’s previously pained face now showed a self-deprecating smile. Yes, her death was related to him.
Her death couldn’t be separated from him!
Thinking of this, Jeffrey clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging, his face no longer calm and gentle as usual.
Thud, thud…
Just as Jeffrey was about to lose control, the door outside sounded with a knock.

“What is it?” the man asked hoarsely.
“Third Young Master, Mr. Foster asked about your progress here. Does he need to intervene?” The person outside, though addressing him as Third Young Master, did not sound particularly respectful.
“No need. Tell Father, I will handle it.” The earlier emotional Jeffrey fell silent for a moment before answering. The pain on his face had disappeared, replaced by the familiar gentle and warm demeanor, as if all that had just happened was an illusion.
“Third Young Master…”
“Go on. I will report to Father myself.” The person outside seemed to want to say something more, but Jeffrey directly interrupted.
That person lingered at the door for a while, but eventually left.
Jeffrey lifted his head, faint red streaks in his eyes, yet showing no trace of emotion.
…
Moon Lake Manor.
Abigail sensed something was amiss as soon as she returned to the mansion after sending off the guests.
The spacious living room had a man with gold-rimmed glasses sitting on the sofa handling documents, three meters away, Kelly and Aunt Claudia were playing with Teddy and Tate.
Occasionally a servant would pass by, but it was all quiet.
It was as if everyone was moving, but silent, like a mime performance.
Especially since usually, as long as Teddy and Tate were around, there would be endless laughter.
But today, the two children were unusually quiet, sitting separately in Kelly’s and Aunt Claudia’s laps, each holding a pop-up book, focused on playing with it.
This eerie scene made Abigail feel a bit uneasy. She sneaked a glance at the man on the sofa with a somewhat deceptive scholarly air, cautiously approaching Teddy.
“Pa, pa, pa…” The almost six-month-old baby, with sensitive ears, promptly looked up at the sound, recognized Abigail, and happily babbled.
Instantly, it was as if someone had turned on a switch in the house; everything came to life.
First was Tate, who also began to babble at Teddy’s call.
Then Kelly and Aunt Claudia simultaneously sighed in relief.
Abigail couldn’t help but hold her forehead. How terrifying was this man to frighten everyone into such silence?
“Well… Teddy, come to Mommy.” Glancing at the man with gold-rimmed glasses reading documents on the sofa, Abigail stepped forward to hold Teddy.
“Come here.”
Just as Abigail was about to pick up Teddy, the man who had been seriously reading documents suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Abigail’s movements froze, and she saw Aunt Claudia swiftly pick up Teddy. “Well then, Teddy, let’s go play outside. Teddy loves playing outside…”
Because she was afraid Abigail’s classmates would recognize Teddy and thus expose Abigail’s identity, and also worried about the little one being jostled, Teddy had been kept inside the house most of the day. Now, although wanting her mother’s hug, upon hearing about going outside, the little one seemed to understand, babbling and no longer clinging to Mommy.
Aunt Claudia seized the opportunity to carry Teddy out.
Kelly followed closely behind, not missing a step.
Abigail stood dumbfounded, mouth slightly open, turning back to see Brandon still looking at her, feeling a bit nervous, “Well… I’ll go with Teddy…”
“Don’t make me say it a third time.” Brandon’s voice was the same, but Abigail trembled. She knew the first time was on Facebook in the morning, and this was an obvious warning.
Reluctantly, Abigail slowly turned back, raising her hand towards Brandon like a beckoning cat, “Hi.”
Brandon, “…”
“Heh heh.” Seeing Brandon’s speechless look, Abigail awkwardly smiled.
“Did you invite Jeffrey today?” Brandon asked coolly, not wanting to see the little chubby act dumb.
Abigail shook her head quickly, “No, absolutely not, I’m innocent.”
“Then why did he come?” Brandon took a deep breath, recalling the two sitting by Moon Lake earlier today, which displeased him greatly.
“I really don’t know.” Abigail felt she was really wronged.
“Oh, really?”
“Yes.” Abigail’s survival instinct made her answer without hesitation.
But Brandon did not intend to let her go, “If you didn’t invite him, why were you two chatting so warmly?”
Abigail was wronged; she wasn’t even aware of her warm chat with Jeffrey!
“Are you planning to join his research lab?” Brandon cut to the chase.
Abigail was surprised by how quickly Brandon found out. After hesitating for a moment, she replied, “I want to investigate the truth about Dr. Smith’s death. If it’s really related to Jeffrey, joining his lab is the fastest way.”
Brandon had suspected as much, “What if I disapprove?”
“Brandon, Dr. Smith was very important to me. I want to give her closure.” Abigail did not intend to compromise. Though she said this to Brandon, in truth, she wanted to give herself closure, for her life as Dr. Smith.
