Chapter 218


    Chapter 218 Smugness Comes Before a Beating


    Lte chided herself. I shouldn’t have said anything. Abby’s feeling inferior because of me.


    She sat down in a quiet spot and observed Abigail in silence.


    Lte thought that Abigail was a great person. She was talented, humble, and serious when it came t


    o her work. Lte couldn’t understand why Abigail’s rtionship with Sean would end in


    divorce.


    She heard that it was Lina who looked down on Abigail’s background.


    Lte knew that Abigail’s grandparents raised her. They were both farmers from the countryside who


    relied on their farms for a living.


    A wealthy family would usually turn their nose up at such a modest upbringing.


    However, Lte believed it was hard to find someone of Abigail’s character.


    Even though Abigail married Sean, she continued to work on her own career instead of simply living off


    her husband’s money.


    Abigail had no clue Lte was singing her praises.


    When Abigail was nearly done with work, Lte quickly stood up and said


    eagerly, “Josh wants us toe over. He’s made some desserts.”


    “I want to have a proper meal, not desserts,” Abigail declined without hesitation


    Lte tugged on Abigail’s arm. “Let’s go, Abby. Josh is great at what he does. What you need now is


    something sweet to lift your spirits.”


    Abigail eyed her helplessly. “I’m in a pretty good mood right now.”


    “Come on, please? Just for a bite!” Lte pouted as she pleaded with Abigail, all the while holding the


    tter’s arm.


    “I’ll go and take a look.” Unable to reject such friendliness, Abigail had no choice but to give in.


    Lte would have kept pestering her if she didn’t agree to go over.


    Even as she stepped into the tea house, Abigail felt a little dazed.


    At the time, she decided against ever having any contact with them, yet how long had it been


    since then?


    Is it true there are some people you can’t ever keep out of your life?


    Josh seemed a little flustered when he saw Abigail. “Why did youe over?”


    “Lte said you made some desserts and insisted that Ie over to try them. Did you not make any


    ?” Abigail thought Josh was putting


    on an act. Why is he acting like this if he had been waiting for me toe over?


    “I did. I’ll bring them over right away. Would you like some tea? We stocked some new teastely, and t


    hey’re particrly fragrant.” Josh immediately dropped everything. It was


    as if he couldn’t wait to scamper off into the kitchen.


    “Alright.” Abigail nodded.


    “I’ll help you,” Lte called out to Josh.


    “Okay.”


    Abigail sat down by the window.


    She wasn’t working on any designstely and felt a little bored to be just sitting still.


    Just as she was about to ask Luna about Analise, someone entered the tea house.


    Joan cocked her eyebrow when she spotted Abigail. “I didn’t expect that you’d actually be here.”


    “What are you doing here?” Abigail asked coolly.


    Naturally, Joan came over after hearing about the divorce. She wanted to kick Abigail while thetter w


    as down.


    “I came to see you, of course. You must be in a bad mood after the divorce,” Joan chuckled as she


    came over.


    Abigail’s expression was icy. “Care to bet whether or not Sean will rush here right away if I call him? W


    hat about you? Do you think you can marry him?”


    Joan remained unaffected. She knew that sooner orter, she would be marrying Sean. Lina said


    50. 50.

    “You should be thanking me that the divorce finally happened. Do you think you could’ve a divorce if it


    weren’t for my help?” Joan had a victorious smile on her face as she took a seat opposite Abigail.


    Abigail eyed her icily, “You’re the one who goaded Old Mrs. Graham intoing over to my family and


    causing a scene?”


    “What do you mean? I didn’t goad her into anything. She was already dissatisfied with you. I was just h


    elping you, her, and Sean,” Joan dered smugly.


    However, as soon as she finished


    speaking, Lte rushed over. She flung the piping hot tea she had in hand at Joan’s face. “How dare


    a mistress like youe over and strut in front of the woman whose marriage you ruined? Has anyone


    ever taught you decency? Well, I’ll do favor and teach you that lesson today!”


    Then, she grabbed Joan by the hair.


    “Ahhh!” Joan shrieked in pain.


    you a


    “Lte…” Worried that Sean would go after Lte for this, Abigail quickly tried to stop her.


    Lte was furious. Her eyes were zing ferociously. “Don’t stop me, Abby. When my temper gets go


    ing, it won’t subside until I bash a few heads in!”


    Then, she dragged Joan, who was still screaming, toward the door.


    “Let go of me… Ahhhh!” Joan howled.


    Abigail went after them.


    Lte dragged Joan to the entrance of the tea house, and before Joan could react, she pped Joan


    in the face.


    The bystanders stopped to look at themotion.


    After pping


    Joan, Lte shoved Joan to the ground and shouted to the passersby, “Come and see, everyone! A li


    ving, breathing mistress! Get a good look at her face, and remember to keep your guard up against her.


    She might steal your husbands next!”


    Joan wanted to cover her face, but Lte wasn’t going to let her do it. She grabbed Joan’s hair and ya


    nked thetter’s head backward so that her face was on disy.


    “Weren’t you being all haughty and condescending earlier? You had the nerve toe over and boast i
