Abbey kept quiet, letting Elijah throw his weight around in her name.
Moss and Beck were Connor's trusted aides, so she was courteous to them, maybe a bit too much. It made them forget their place, daring to block her way. They needed a reality check. When Beck heard Elijah calling Moss a lapdog, his face turned crimson with fury. What nonsense about a marriage contract? His boss had never acknowledged such a thing.

"Ms. Abbey, please don't make this difficult for us." His tone was polite, but he didn't budge an inch.
Abbey's patience snapped, her dark eyes glaring at Moss, her voice icy: "What if I insist on going in?" "Without the boss's orders, we can't let anyone else in." "Hmph." Abbey snorted, a fire building up inside her, making her stomach ache with anger.
Normally, she might have let it go, but Beck had mentioned that Connor and Flora had gone to the supermarket together. The thought of them together was like a fire burning in her gut. "Initially, I could have let it go, but now" her voice dropped, "I must go in!" She was determined to see who would dare stop her! She had been polite to them, and they dared to overstep their bounds. They were just servants, and with Connor not here, she saw no reason to keep up the charade! She took a bold step forward, but Moss and Beck still blocked her path.

Did they really think they could take them on? Beck sneered, knowing they weren't even worth one move of his! Already seething from Elijah's insults to Moss, these men were perfect targets for his rage!
He showed no mercy, quickly knocking down Abbey's groupan bodyguards, leaving them sprawled on the ground, unable to get back up! "You, you!" Elijah was dumbfounded, but Mossng at Moss and Beck cold, piercing gaze made him shiver and retract his hand quickly.
Despite Moss's usual politeness, he was far more terrifying than Beck when angered.
"Miss, they've gone too far, daring to be so ruthless right in front of you!" Elijah, scared stiff, couldn't e couldn't even look at Moss and Beck, whispered to Abbey, if you don't put them in their place today, they'll think they can walk all over you. You should show them who's boss."
Watching her bodyguards writhing in pain on the beautiful face seemed to freeze over with cold fury.
