    Chapter 318 Don’t Let Her Suffer Any Grievances


    “Did


    youe to see us hoping we would talk to Lacey, Ms. Quinn?” Tony looked at Abigail with at stern


    expression.


    “Unfortunately, my grandma answered my phone today. She’s in poor health and was quite upset,


    which is why I came here. I don’t know how tomunicate with Miss Fernandez, and I’m unclear on


    why she’s behaving this way. So, I had no choice but to seek advice from wife, Mr. Fernandez,” Abigail


    responded calmly, maintaining eye contact with him.


    you and


    Just as he was about to respond, his phone rang. The caller ID disyed Pendorf’s area code, causing


    his brows to furrow.


    “Please excuse me for a moment, Ms. Quinn. This is an urgent call.” Tony left with his phone.

    While he was away, Ronaldo eximed, “Why did Lacey do such a thing? If there’s a


    misunderstanding, shouldn’t she try to talk it out instead of using these messages to humiliate Ms.


    Quinn? She’s gone too far!”


    Ca shot a cold re at him. “This hasn’t even been confirmed yet. How can you use her? Why


    would she have so many numbers?


    Abigail politely addressed Ca, “I came here to find a solution. We all have our responsibilities. and

    little time for these inconsequential matters, don’t you think?”


    “It hasn’t been confirmed that it was my daughter’s doing yet, so I can’t give you an answer,” Ca


    dered with a haughty air, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Abigail.


    Abigail realized that her visit might have been presumptuous and potentially caused some resentment.


    However, she believed it was the right thing to do. If she continued to avoid the issue, what would


    happen if Lacey’s harassment extended beyond her? What if Lacey targeted Analise or others?


    Remainingposed, Abigail suggested, “You could find out by informing her to return home and


    discussing the matter with her.”


    Inside the study, Tony took the call and immediately greeted, “Hello.”


    “Mr. Fernandez? I’m Sean Graham.” Though the man’s voice carried a pleasant tone, it still made Tony


    feel uneasy.


    “I’ve heard much about you, Mr. Graham. May I know the reason for your call at thiste hour? Is it an


    urgent matter?” Tony inquired respectfully.


    “I’ve heard that Abigail is visiting Eastbay, so I have to ask you to take care of her for me, Mr.


    Fernandez. Please don’t let her suffer any kind of grievance while in a foreign city,” Sean said with a


    subtle smile.


    1/3


    Tony couldn’t miss the subtext in Sean’s words. Sean wasn’t merely asking for hospitality; it was a clear


    warning not to allow any harm toe to Abigail while she was under his roof. Everyone in their social


    circle had heard about what Sean did to the Pearsons, and even Tony, being in


    Eastbay, had heard plenty of rumors.


    It wasmon knowledge that nobody would want to get on Sean’s bad side, as those who did would


    pay a hefty price.


    With these thoughts racing through his mind, Tony reassured Sean with a smile, “Of course. You have


    my


    word, Mr. Graham. I’ll ensure that Ms. Quinn has a pleasant stay here in Eastbay.”


    After concluding the call with Sean, Tony returned to the room and looked at Abigail with a much


    friendlier expression. “I called Lacey, but she’s currently studying in another city and can’t return.”


    “That’s right. Lacey is pursuing a career as a violinist, Ca said proudly.


    He red at his wife. “Why are you butting in? No one asked for your input. You’re not needed here.


    Go upstairs.”


    Abigail was taken aback by the sudden change in his attitude. She couldn’t help but wonder, Did that


    call have something to do with me?


    Ca sensed that something was up with her husband, too, so she left without protest.


    Tony sat across from Abigail, and he had the household staff serve some fruits and desserts. Then, he


    prepared tea himself as he said, “Lacey’s behavior is the result of us spoiling her. She cares deeply for


    Anthony, and she takes her rtionships very seriously. She often bes. preupied with


    unwarranted concerns.


    “It’s evident that Lacey bes obsessive in her rtionships. If she’s so fond of Anthony, she should


    just hold onto him. Why is she secretly insulting Ms. Quinn?” Ronaldo expressed his frustration.


    Tony felt exasperated by Ronaldo’sck of cooperation. He wondered why Ronaldo was siding with an


    outsider rather than supporting his family. After ncing at Ronaldo, he nodded awkwardly. “She’s


    insecure when ites to rtionships. I heard that Anthony and you got along very well in school,


    Ms. Quinn. Even now, Anthony helps you no matter what kind of difficulty you face at work. My


    daughter… I’m sure she’s jealous because she heard about that.”


    Abigail resisted the urge to roll her eyes as she asked with a smile, “How do you think we should.


    resolve this? Mr. Booker and I are simply business partners. If your daughter is so concerned, Mr.


    Fernandez, why don’t we invite them over for a proper discussion? I don’t mind extending my stay by a


    day.”


    Ronaldo immediately expressed his support, saying, “Inviting them for a clear discussion is the best


    approach.”


    She nced at him, and he grinned, saying, “I’m on the side of reason, not family. It’s clear that


    2/3


    Lacey is at fault here.”


    “Anthony is currently on a business trip, so he can’t return. I’ll call Lacey again and try to arrange a


    meeting. Feel free to extend your stay, Ms. Quinn. We’ll cover your amodation expenses,” Tony


    assured, serving Abigail a cup of tea.
