Fallout (1)

Abigail, with the help of Daniel climbed out of the car and moved the crutches under her arm before slowly moving towards the front door of her parents' villa, quite aware of the greeting she would be likely to receive. Daniel came behind her, carrying her bags.

Daniel, as he placed the bags on the ground he paused, looked at Abigail and quietly said "The choice is yours."

Abigail nodded, before responding "I know. Give me time to make my decision."

As he nodded, Daniel quietly said "Fine. However, know that if you need help you simply have to ask me…"

Smashing could be heard from inside, before Daniel heard Chelsea scream "You b*stard. You did not protect our daughter, and now she is being ruined."

"Our daughter. How many times did I tell you not to allow her to pursue going into the entertainment industry before she completed High School. Are you so dumb that you do not recognise the dangers…"

"DO NOT blame me. We both agreed that is she wanted to give it a go we would support her choice."

Further smashing could be heard, and Sara's voice came "Mummy, Daddy. What are we going to do. My reputation…"

Daniel and Abigail looked at each other, and high-pitched sobs could be heard followed by further smashing. Sara then screamed out "Ever since that b*tch came, my life has been ruined. What is not to say that she did not set me up and then release the footage."

Abigail slightly tensed, knowing fully well her actions in having Sam release through other sources the footage did expose what happened, but why in the world would she have anything do to with setting her up. Firstly, at the time she did not know the truth about her birth and secondly, why get involved in something so sordid. Sara did that herself.

Daniel, at the same time paused and looked at Abigail, noticing her tensing up. Did she know something more than she was saying? With the way Sebastian was already reacting, constantly demanding he do something and allow him access to company resources to help Sara, he needed to know the answer.

Daniel felt his mobile vibrate at that moment and he pulled it out from his pocket, and quickly looked at the message from his second uncle. [Sebastian has continued to call myself and your other uncle demanding we authorise him to use company resources to help Sara Meng. Given your connection to CEO Meng, we were surprised at your refusal to aid his granddaughter, however this is one decision of yours we will support. It has the prospect of causing damage to the company.]

Daniel was surprised, but then a second message came through from his third uncle [Tell that brother of yours to stop demanding that I allow him to use company resources to help his girlfriend. No damn way because it will damage the company. If you reverse your decision, do not blame me for what I will do.]

Abigail, looked at Daniel, and seeing him absorbed in the messages on his phone quietly asked "Is everything alright?"

Nodding, Daniel calmly said "It is, but…"

At that moment Daniel paused hearing a further crash, and Sebastian loudly saying "Sara everything will be alright. I am doing everything I can to mobilise the Wu Enterprises resources to help you. Everyone knows that you will soon be the Second Young Madam of the company, behind the mystery wife of Daniel, and protecting you is necessary."

Sobbing Sara could be here say "He hates me. If he really cared about me, and more importantly about you, he would have done everything he could have to protect me."

As another loud crash was heard Adam Meng could be heard say "Sara stop that. I get that you are angry but smashing all that crystal does nothing. It only risks hurting yourself princess, if the staff cannot pick up everything."

"But Daddy…"

"I promise you sweetheart I have already set company staff to deal with everything that is on the internet. We want to help you, but you need to talk about what move we will do…"

"Mummy, help me."

"Sweetheart, I told you everything will be right, you just need to calm down, and let us think…"

"And deal with that b*tch who has to be behind this. I just know it, and as soon as I can prove it, she will not know what is coming."

Abigail hearing Sara had enough and lifted one of the crutches to ring the doorbells. Very quickly the door was answered by Butler Du who as he opened the door just wide enough to see Abigail there said, "You know Sir and Madam's rules, you are not to enter the house anywhere except through the rear basement." With that he slammed the door, but it was obvious that he had not seen Daniel.
