Chapter 177 Old Man Xu’s Secret?!

Day Twenty…

~~*****~~

Abigail buried her face on her pillow, cursing Aiden in her mind several times. She even tossed her other pillow aside and picked another one. She began punching it until she vented out her frustration.

"I wanna beat that punk!"

Her cheeks were red from embarrassment as she recalled what transpired in her room a while ago.

Abigail followed Aiden's advice. She waited for him to arrive home. She even connived with Little Ethan and Butler Li. Her accomplices helped her to lure Nathan to her room.

She didn't slip on the floor. She just made her ankle look like she was hurt. She endured wearing that very revealing bathrobe to expose her body to him. She tried her best to hide her embarrassment.

Then when Nathan finally arrived, she immersed herself into acting, pretending to be hurt and acting so cute yet pitiful in front of him. She followed Aiden's suggestion of tempting Nathan using her body and she managed to modify her strategy by making him massage and touch her aside from slowly stripping before his eyes.

Who would have thought that she played with fire and it backfired on her? She ended up embarrassing herself more.

As Nathan began massaging her body, Abigail could stop herself from reacting. She was greatly affected by his touch. And subconsciously, she even foolishly allowed herself to fantasize and imagine herself being touched by him in the sensitive parts of her body.

Those thoughts made her body feel hot and she ended up moaning as Nathan massaged her back. She just snapped out of her fantasies when she heard Nathan's voice asking her "What were you thinking… Abi?"

She felt so embarrassed that she wanted the ground to open up for her and swallow her whole. She wished to disappear and hide from Nathan.

She just moaned and thought of intimate scenes such as Nathan groping and kneading her breasts when he was only pressing and massaging her back. Her imagination went overboard and now she was regretting it big time.

"Damn! I guess that devil is laughing at me right now! This is so embarrassing!" Abigail lamented to herself, covering her face using both hands.

She never behaved like this when she was still in her original body. Why did she suddenly change after getting involved with Nathan? She felt like her hidden sex drive was awakened and triggered by Nathan.

"Damn! I failed! Nathan was sober so he didn't even react after seeing my exposed body. He is like a robot! Emotionless! It's hard to seduce a robot like him!" Abigail kept complaining, still punching the pillow.

"Don't tell me he got erectile dysfunction when Monica died? Perhaps, he couldn't get hard unless the woman in front of him was Monica?" She heaved a deep sigh over and over again.

"Damn it! I can't believe that this devil is so loyal to his deceased lover!" Abigail shook her head in frustration.

Abigail slumped her body back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. "Sigh! Nathan has a serious problem. No wonder he distanced himself from other women. Should I ask Aiden and Stephen about it just to confirm?"

Abigail just blinked her eyes blankly at the ceiling. She couldn't get over it. She hoped Nathan would just forget what happened in her room.

But little did she know, Nathan would never forget what transpired in that room. It took him a lot of effort to control himself not to show any reaction as he touched her soft flawless skin.

When Abigail subconsciously moaned several times, Nathan had the urge to pin her down on the bed, kiss her and touch her. But then again, he realized that this might be Abigail's trick.

Not letting Abigail win, Nathan maintained his composure. And he played along with her but he made sure to counterattack. In the end, it was Abigail who fell into Nathan's trick.

Though Nathan scored against Abigail today, he had to take a cold shower. Abigail was wrong to assume that Nathan was similar to a robot who didn't feel anything at all.

'She almost got me a while ago. Good job Nathan!' Nathan praised himself inwardly as he let the cold droplet of water pour on his body as he took a shower.

[ At SYP Twilight Corp Building… ]

Meanwhile, Old Man Xu still remained in the office. He was still reviewing some documents when a mysterious package arrived.

"Chairman Xu, there is a delivery man in the lobby. However, the package has no label. The security team already scanned it and the item is not dangerous," His secretary informed him through the intercom.

Old Man Xu stopped what he was doing when he heard that. Complicated emotions flashed through his eyes. The old man didn't look surprised anymore.

"Let him come," Old Man Xu gave his consent.

After five minutes, the delivery man brought the mysterious package to Chairman Xu's office. His secretary picked it up and delivered it to Old Man Xu's desk.

Old Man Xu was now standing. He was looking at the glass wall of his office as if he was observing the scenery outside his office.

"Just put it there and lock the door when you leave," Old Man Xu instructed his secretary.

His secretary was reluctant to leave but after seeing Old Man Xu's dark expression, she could only obey her Boss, afraid that he would scold her if she stayed there.

When his secretary was no longer there, Old Man Xu traced his steps toward his desk and assessed the package. It was a rectangular box (12 inches long, 4 inches in height and 4 inches wide)

Old Man Xu exhaled deeply before he sat down on his executive chair. He picked up the package and unboxed it. He wondered what he would see inside the box.

Old Man Xu seemed like he was used to receiving a suspicious package once in a while. But he never reported it nor informed his son about it.

He slowly opened the box.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

Four seconds…

Five seconds…

His eyes darkened further when he saw the thing inside the package. He saw the note first and read the message.

[ I Know What You Did in the Past… ]

It was written in a white cloth using red blood. Old Man Xu gritted his teeth and crumpled the cloth in his fist. His anger could be seen in his eyes.

But that was not the only thing inside that box. There were several photos there. Another note was written on the photo itself.

[ Have a taste of my revenge… This is the only start… ]

Old Man Xu's eyes widened in utter shock when he saw the person in the photo. It was Nathan! It was a picture taken when Nathan was attacked in the Royal Night Club.

He was stabbed by a poisoned dagger and he bled a lot. He was lying unconscious and the culprit took a picture of him in that state.

"My son was hurt! And this mysterious sender was the culprit!" Old Man Xu slammed his fists on his table with his bloodshot eyes, the rage surging up inside his chest.

When he lifted the photo, he saw another note. Old Man Xu felt like his world was shaken as soon as he read the last note.

[ You killed Monica. You killed your son's woman. ]

Old Man Xu's face became pale and he felt his heart constricted inside his chest. He froze in his spot for several seconds. He tried to calm his emotions first, gathering himself. He felt like every ounce of his energy was drained.

'Who is this person? What nonsense is this!' Old Man Xu facepalmed as he clenched his jaw. This man had been blackmailing him for the past few months.

As Old Man Xu felt a whirlwind of emotions right now, he remained on his chair, leaning his head and putting his elbow on the surface of his forehead.

Then he reminisced about his argument with Monica a few weeks before she died. Nathan didn't know the conflict between Monica and his father. Both of them hid it from Nathan because of a certain reason.

Old Man Xu had to admit that he threatened Monica at that time as he failed to control his temper. He wondered if that person witnessed them.

'Is this person related to Monica? Is the one sending those packages Veronica?' Old Man Xu mused to himself. But he disregarded the idea that it was Veronica since he could tell that Veronica would never hurt Nathan. She was loyal to the organization and most especially to Nathan.

"Damn! What does he want from me?! Is he planning to destroy my relationship with my son?! Why now? That tragic event happened two years ago."

Old Man Xu stood up and dialed someone's number.

"Where are you? I have an urgent task for you. I think… it's time for you to make a move. Find someone for me!"
