Chapter 184

I couldn't stop wondering what exactly Abigail wanted from me. What was she trying to do? Tom's status and influence in the business world were widely known. Everyone was aware of how he had once pursued Abigail with great fanfare. If he were to return to the country, the news about him would undoubtedly go viral. Any conflicts and disagreements between Abigail and I would surely come to light. Tom had deep feelings for Abigail. It wouldn't be surprising if he began fervently pursuing her again. I strangely felt an inexplicable sense of relief at this realization. If Tom managed to win her over and end up together with her, wouldn't that mean I would finally be free? Yet, I didn't feel as happy as I thought I would at the thought of that. Instead, a suffocated frustration welled up inside me. It was as though I had lost something incredibly precious. I couldn't help but recall the days we were back in school. I was always wary of Tom, afraid he would steal Abigail away from me.
