Reborn as Mr.CEO’s Fat Wife - Chapter 760

Chapter 760: Chapter 760: The Scumbag Label of the Second Young Master

Brandon Piers and Abigail Green had previously been engaged. Although the entertainment magazines embellished their story to make it seem touching, the public was not buying it.

Even the speech Brandon gave defending Abigail at their engagement party was seen as an act.

After all, how could the stunning Second Young Master Piers truly love a fat woman, even if she had gained weight after giving birth?

Later, the two rarely appeared in public, further convincing everyone that it had just been a show.

It wasn’t until the explosion at the casino, where Brandon dug through the rubble with his bare hands and refused to acknowledge that the body was Abigail’s, that many were moved. It was from that moment that the public began to believe that Brandon indeed loved Abigail.

Yet, as Lincoln Green collected the woman’s body, this sentiment gradually faded from public view.

Until more than six months later, when the Piers’ official Twitter announced that Piers scion Brandon and Miss Bertha Swift were about to get engaged, bringing them back into the public eye.

At the time, some netizens thought that Second Young Master Piers had finally shown his true scumbag nature, planning a wedding with another woman less than a year after his beloved fiancee’s tragic death.

However, more netizens believed that Brandon Piers and Bertha Swift were a perfect match.

Little did they know that things would turn around once more. Bertha, who was supposed to marry Brandon, ended up as the fiancee of Adam Piers. Everyone then believed this was just a way for the scumbag to save face.

It wasn’t until Abigail Green stated outside the hospital that she was the fiancee of Second Young Master Piers that everyone finally believed there had been a misunderstanding between Brandon and Bertha.

After all, no matter how beautiful Bertha was, could she be more beautiful than a slimmed-down Abigail?

Besides, Brandon and Abigail had a child together. Brandon hadn’t abandoned her even when she weighed 200 pounds after giving birth, so why would he leave her now that she was both slim and beautiful?

People revisited Brandon’s empty Twitter account, which contained only one post. Wasn’t it a photo of three hands belonging to his family of three?

As it turned out, Brandon had clarified things early on. At the time, many didn’t believe those beautiful hands belonged to Abigail and deliberately connected them to Bertha.

Now, they were utterly humiliated.

The Piers’ PR team had previously released numerous statements to clear their boss’s name, only to make things worse. Yet, the moment the young lady appeared, the scumbag label was removed.

With the scumbag tag lifted from Brandon Piers, netizens soon began to question another issue. If his emotions weren’t insincere, could his arrest have been a misunderstanding too? After all, Second Young Master hadn’t been in charge of the company for long. Could he have been made a scapegoat?

When nobody thought in this direction, it didn’t occur to them. But once public opinion was guided, the situation changed.

In no time, those who had previously criticized Brandon began to feel sorry for him.

After all, Second Young Master Piers was a delicate person, so fragile that even Piers’ high-ranking officials’ sons bullied him.

As public opinion continued to ferment, each person had their own version of the Piers family’s story.

Abigail didn’t care about these stories at all. What she cared about was whether public opinion could clear Brandon’s name.

And after clearing his name through public opinion, how could he be cleared legally?

Due to only a few hours of sleep, Abigail woke up in poor spirits, lying listlessly on the bed. Teddy, who was awake next to her and had confirmed his mom wouldn’t leave, was like a perpetual motion machine, climbing up and down Abigail, occasionally leaning in for a kiss or hug, repeating this without getting tired.

So when Eva Bell came in, Abigail didn’t even notice until Eva made a loud noise with the table, startling the mother and son on the bed. They looked towards her simultaneously.

Last night, Abigail had briefly heard the old man mention Eva, but she hadn’t paid attention and didn’t ask for details. Now, thinking back, the old man probably felt apologetic, not daring to go into detail.

It was unlikely Brandon had placed Eva in the manor without reason, likely to keep her from causing trouble outside.

Understanding this, Abigail’s gaze towards Eva became much colder. She turned her head, ignoring Eva, and continued to play with Teddy in her arms.

Seeing this, Eva became even more dissatisfied with Abigail. “Who allowed you to come here?”

Abigail couldn’t be bothered to respond, continuing to play with her son.

Eva was furious at Abigail’s attitude. “I’m asking you…”

“Miss Bell, this is the young master’s room. Please leave.” Just as Eva was righteously driving Abigail away, a sturdy, powerful maid who Abigail had never seen before walked in briskly from behind Eva.

“I’m George Piers’ grandmother. How can I not come into my little grandson’s room? What about you? How do you manage this manor, letting an irrelevant woman into George’s room and not driving her out?” Eva seemed accustomed to the maid’s attitude but was unwilling to back down, pointing at Abigail and questioning her.

Although the maid hadn’t met Abigail, she had seen Abigail’s photo. Following Eva’s gaze, she immediately recognized Abigail and bowed respectfully. “I’m sorry, young lady. I didn’t know you had returned and that Miss Bell disturbed your rest. I’ll take her out now.”

After that, the maid grabbed Eva with one hand and dragged her out.

Eva, having never been treated this way, was furious, pointing at the strapping maid. “Let me go! I’m the Piers’ matriarch! What is she? You brainless thing…”

Over the past few days, all of Eva’s manners had been crushed bit by bit by this bumbling maid at Moon Lake Manor.

Especially just now, seeing her attitude towards Abigail and then towards herself, Eva couldn’t accept it and kept yelling.

Abigail listened as the noise gradually faded away. She turned her attention to Aunt Claudia, who was preparing milk for Teddy. “What’s her situation?”

“She’s been staying here for a while, but it doesn’t look voluntary. It seems Second Young Master has imprisoned her here. Although she can move freely within the manor, she’s only allowed in certain areas, and she usually doesn’t come to the main house.” Aunt Claudia thought Eva disliked Abigail but didn’t know what Eva had done to her. She simply assumed Second Young Master kept her confined because of mental issues.

But Aunt Claudia was always discreet and didn’t say much.

However, Aunt Claudia’s brief mention made Abigail understand clearly that Brandon had removed Eva’s support.

Without any helpers, Eva was merely a weak and feeble beauty. With a strong maid like that around, no matter how much trouble Eva caused, it would be futile.

Thinking of this, Abigail shrugged. The man probably had no choice but to make such a decision.

After all, no matter how crazy Eva might be, she was still his biological mother. If he went too far, others would use it against him.

But if Eva stayed in the manor, Abigail might have to consider moving out…

Just as Abigail thought of this, Eva’s cursing abruptly stopped outside. The sudden silence, without any buffer, felt like an emergency stop, which was very odd. She took the milk bottle from Aunt Claudia. “Aunt Claudia, can you go check what’s going on?”

“Okay.” Aunt Claudia, also worn out by Eva’s antics, responded and left the nursery, thinking, Could it be that Second Young Master is back?
