Chapter 179
Greg pushed everything on the desk to the ground with a loud crash before he punched the computer in anger. Immediately, the computer screen smashed into pieces before his hand started bleeding and stained the computer, causing the scene to look gory.
Upon hearing the noises in the office, Troy quickly rushed in. "Mr. Buckley, what happened?"
Nevertheless, what came into view was Greg's dark facial expression. At that moment, Troy felt breathless, as if he was facing an impending thunderstorm. "Mr. Buckley, you…"
He noticed the document file in front of Greg. Although Troy never saw the content of the file, he knew that it was definitely related to Abigail. Could Abigail really be that island's hitman?
"Get out! Get out of here!" Greg gave Troy a murderous look, causing him to flee fearfully almost immediately.
"You better beware of your safety if I hear anything about Hitman Island when I go out."
Greg's chilling voice rang out behind him, almost causing his legs to give in on him before he quickly nodded and ran out. Troy could only feel his heartbeat calming down after he left Greg's office. Mr. Buckley is so horrifying when he's enraged. He patted his chest to calm himself down.
Meanwhile, Greg was staring at the document in front of him before he took a lighter out to burn the documents down to ashes. Nevertheless, he still felt conflicted.
Why am I blaming her for what she did when I have no right to do so? I didn't understand her circumstances five years ago, and I wasn't able to find her, so all she could do when she landed in that kind of situation was to do her best to survive, wasn't it? Abigail is a victim too!
He knew that all of the female hitmen on Hitman Island were kidnapped to that place, and none of them went there willingly, so the ones who wanted to live had to do whatever they needed to survive.
Thus, Greg couldn't and had no right to blame Abigail. Despite knowing all that, he couldn't help but feel his heart aching in pain, as if it was burning.
Greg couldn't just stop caring about it. Even if he knew that Abigail was innocent and had no choice, he just couldn't let it go. Right then, his eyes turned so red that it was terrifying. There was a ball of fire within his chest, and he couldn't remove it no matter what he tried to do.
Then, Greg took his cigarettes out and started chain-smoking. Not long after, the entire office was filled with the strong stench of tobacco, but no one dared to stop him from smoking.
Greg finished an entire packet of cigarettes in no time as he thought that it would calm him down, but he still felt really gloomy.
Just then, he took his phone out. However, he felt his chest aching again when Abigail's picture and contact number showed up as the first person on his call list. Immediately, he contacted Cody.
"Practicing at the kickboxing gym?"
"Who pissed you off?" Taken aback, Cody asked nonchalantly.
Since Greg was good at fighting, he had never seen Greg going to the boxing gym to practice and was surprised by his sudden suggestion.
"Are you coming or not? Just say the word!" Greg snapped impatiently.
After making sure that he was almost done with his work, Cody replied calmly, "I'll see you in half an hour."
He removed his white coat after hanging up before entering Gillian's office to take his leave and leave.
On the other hand, Genevieve quickly caught up to Cody when she saw him entering Gillian's office before leaving alone.
"Cody, where are you going? I have an outpatient to tend to. Do you mind giving me a lift?"
Although Genevieve thought thot her smile ond voice were perfect ot thot moment, Cody borely spored her o glonce before he replied coldly, "I con't."
"How do you know thot you con't when you don't even know where I'm going?"
She gove him o displeosed look. Nevertheless, Cody remoined unfozed before he soid, "I con't, ond I won't os long os it's you. Do you understond thot? Stoy owoy from me!"
After thot, he wolked post Genevieve ond left her fuming in onger. Nevertheless, she couldn't cross him due to his fomily bockground, ond she couldn't help but recoll how Greg treoted her the some woy o few doys ogo.
One of these two men once promised to morry her while she swore to do everything thot she could by ony meons to get morried to the other mon. However, the two of them ended up treoting her the some woy now by ignoring her.
Genevieve felt her emotions contorting. Gillion Hines ond Abigoil Koin! The two of you ore responsible for oll of these!
Refusing to give up, she ron ofter Cody before reolizing thot he hod olreody driven owoy, so she quickly stopped o cob ond ordered the driver to toil ofter Cody.
On the other hond, Greg wos olreody there ot the boxing gym when Cody reoched. However, he wos shocked upon seeing how gloomy ond unopproochoble Greg looked.
"Whot hoppened to you?"
"Stop wosting time. Do you wont to hove o motch with me?"
Although Greg wos osking Cody o question, he didn't spore Cody ony time to reply to him os he quickly threw o punch ot him, ond his ottock didn't ollow ony spoce for reoction, os it wos too fost ond occurote.
Fortunotely, Cody wos extremely ogile since he wos from the militory, ond he immediotely reocted when Greg threw his punch ot him.
The two of them immediotely got into o motch.
Normolly, Greg wouldn't be willing to hove o motch with them with the excuse of not wonting to offect their friendship, so Cody hod olwoys thought thot Greg soid thot becouse he wosn't good ot it ond wos ofroid of them moking o joke out of it. However, he wos intimidoted ofter Greg storted going ofter him. Although they still couldn't tell who wos going to win, Greg wos showing signs of getting even more oggressive thon before.
"Stop it!"
Cody quickly jumped out of the ring before comploining with o sour look on his foce. "Come on. I still hove surgery to perform loter in the evening. Do you seriously wont to moke me lose my job? Whot's wrong with you todoy, Greg? Are you upset obout something?"
"Stoy if you wont to fight, ond leove if you don't." Greg's temper didn't lessen due to the motch just now.
Just then, Cody's phone rong, ond he quickly excused himself. "I'm going to pick up the coll."
Immediotely, Greg felt meoningless, os oll he could think obout wos Abigoil hoving fun with other men, ond the imoges of it kept hurting him os if he wos getting stobbed by o knife.
After Cody left the boxing gym, Genevieve secretly snuck in. When she sow Greg, who wos covered entirely with sweot, she suddenly reolized thot Greg wos like o wolking pheromone, ond she felt herself getting excited.
"Greg."
Genevieve wolked toword Greg ond tried to leon in closer to Greg, but he quickly ovoided her.
"Why ore you here?" Greg frowned instinctively when he sow Genevieve.
She wos his everything when he wos pursuing ofter her, but now thot he wos together with Abigoil, Genevieve would noturolly be ploced on his strongers list. Thus, he took o step owoy to ovoid Genevieve when she moved closer before grobbing his towel ot o side to wipe off the sweot from his foce ond snopping coldly, "Get out!"
Although Genevieve thought that her smile and voice were perfect at that moment, Cody barely spared her a glance before he replied coldly, "I can't."
"How do you know that you can't when you don't even know where I'm going?"
She gave him a displeased look. Nevertheless, Cody remained unfazed before he said, "I can't, and I won't as long as it's you. Do you understand that? Stay away from me!"
After that, he walked past Genevieve and left her fuming in anger. Nevertheless, she couldn't cross him due to his family background, and she couldn't help but recall how Greg treated her the same way a few days ago.
One of these two men once promised to marry her while she swore to do everything that she could by any means to get married to the other man. However, the two of them ended up treating her the same way now by ignoring her.
Genevieve felt her emotions contorting. Gillian Hines and Abigail Kain! The two of you are responsible for all of these!
Refusing to give up, she ran after Cody before realizing that he had already driven away, so she quickly stopped a cab and ordered the driver to tail after Cody.
On the other hand, Greg was already there at the boxing gym when Cody reached. However, he was shocked upon seeing how gloomy and unapproachable Greg looked.
"What happened to you?"
"Stop wasting time. Do you want to have a match with me?"
Although Greg was asking Cody a question, he didn't spare Cody any time to reply to him as he quickly threw a punch at him, and his attack didn't allow any space for reaction, as it was too fast and accurate.
Fortunately, Cody was extremely agile since he was from the military, and he immediately reacted when Greg threw his punch at him.
The two of them immediately got into a match.
Normally, Greg wouldn't be willing to have a match with them with the excuse of not wanting to affect their friendship, so Cody had always thought that Greg said that because he wasn't good at it and was afraid of them making a joke out of it. However, he was intimidated after Greg started going after him. Although they still couldn't tell who was going to win, Greg was showing signs of getting even more aggressive than before.
"Stop it!"
Cody quickly jumped out of the ring before complaining with a sour look on his face. "Come on. I still have surgery to perform later in the evening. Do you seriously want to make me lose my job? What's
wrong with you today, Greg? Are you upset about something?"
"Stay if you want to fight, and leave if you don't." Greg's temper didn't lessen due to the match just now.
Just then, Cody's phone rang, and he quickly excused himself. "I'm going to pick up the call."
Immediately, Greg felt meaningless, as all he could think about was Abigail having fun with other men, and the images of it kept hurting him as if he was getting stabbed by a knife.
After Cody left the boxing gym, Genevieve secretly snuck in. When she saw Greg, who was covered entirely with sweat, she suddenly realized that Greg was like a walking pheromone, and she felt herself getting excited.
"Greg."
Genevieve walked toward Greg and tried to lean in closer to Greg, but he quickly avoided her.
"Why are you here?" Greg frowned instinctively when he saw Genevieve.
She was his everything when he was pursuing after her, but now that he was together with Abigail, Genevieve would naturally be placed on his strangers list. Thus, he took a step away to avoid Genevieve when she moved closer before grabbing his towel at a side to wipe off the sweat from his face and snapping coldly, "Get out!"
Nevertheless, Genevieve, who was still mesmerized by Greg's body and charisma, was slightly pissed off when she heard him pushing her away coldly.
"Greg, are you seriously going to treat me like this? Was those ten years of you pursuing me all fake?" She looked at him with teary eyes.
In the past, Greg would surely drop whatever he was doing to console her when he saw her like this, and he'd even try to do anything that he could to satisfy her.
However, Genevieve had forgotten that Greg only did that because she was the love of his life and would be mindful of her expressions, but none of it mattered to him now because he had stopped loving her.
Upon seeing Genevieve, Greg, who initially wanted to vent his anger, immediately lost his mood. At that moment, he grabbed his stuff and prepared to leave while completely ignoring Genevieve, who pissed him off.
Then, she took a step forward to grab Greg by his arm and cried out, "Greg Buckley, how dare you treat me like this?!"
"Let go of me!"
"No!" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Even until now, Genevieve refused to come back to her senses that the man that used to trail behind her while loving her was gone.
Meanwhile, Greg, who was already in a bad mood due to Abigail, got further annoyed because of Genevieve's relentlessness and pulled his hand out by pushing her away.
On the other hand, Genevieve never expected Greg to push her, so she was pushed away without any warning. As Greg didn't bother to be careful with his force, she banged into a pillar nearby, and a big bump immediately appeared on her forehead.
"Ouch! That hurts like hell! Greg, how dare you push me?!" Genevieve screamed with a shrill voice, but Greg ignored her and left.
While she continued shouting, she suddenly noticed the coat that Greg had left. Right then, she snickered for a moment before draping the coat over her shoulders and snapping a picture of her at the boxing gym to send to Abigail.
'See. I knew Greg was never serious about you. Looking at this, he still cares about me. We practiced at the boxing gym for a while just now, and he gave me his coat because he was afraid that I might catch a cold. Abigail Kain, this is a warning for you. Get back to Marona and stop embarrassing yourself.'
Genevieve's text woke Abigail up, and it was already 4.00PM when she checked the clock.
When she checked the message and the picture attached to the message, she noticed that the coat was indeed what Greg wore in the morning.
Staring at Genevieve's smug tone in her text, Abigail suddenly felt upset. Boxing gym? Greg actually went to the boxing gym with her?
Her grip on her phone tightened as her fingers turned pale.
Abigail lost track of time as she continued sitting there before she took her phone out robotically and contacted Greg.
On the other hand, Greg was a little surprised when he heard his phone ringing and noticed that it was a call from Abigail. Although he knew that he shouldn't shift his anger onto Abigail, he still instinctively declined her call.
When Abigail's call got rejected, she found her heart aching again. What does he mean? Did he reject my call because he was afraid that I might interrupt their date?
Unwilling to give up, Abigail contacted Greg again, but Greg had already turned off his phone. Although she initially thought that Greg had ended things with Genevieve, his actions were starting to make her doubt herself. Could I really be obstructing their relationship?
