Chapter 356 An Invitation That’s Hard to Decline
The unexpected news of Alfie and Damon becoming sworn brothers quickly spread within Capitalis’ social circles.
When Kelly received the phone call, she was equally surprised.
“What are you doing in Pendorf, anyway? I haven’t seen you visit Abigail’s grandmother even once. Are you waiting
for the truth to be revealed before meeting her?” The woman on the other end of the phone asked, her anger
barely contained.
“Aren’t you being too impatient right now? Being in Pendorf is not the same as being in Capitalis. I need to find a
shield first to make a move, or else how am I supposed to escape if things get messy?” Kelly replied nonchalantly,
showing no signs of urgency.
“Are you planning to marry Sean and win over his grandmother?” The woman couldn’t resist at
taunt.
Kelly smiled, but her gaze was cold. “Am I not allowed to marry him?”
The woman on the phone fell silent all of a sudden.

Sean. Fair enough, right? If you don’t find me worthy, then your daughter should forget about marrying into the
Davidson Family as well.”
The woman on the phone took a deep breath and responded, “You managed to connect with these people because
of me. Don’t forget that!”
Kelly chuckled, “If you hadn’t asked for my help, I could have continued living my life just fine, but since you’ve
come to me for assistance, you’d better be nice to me, or I might exposé everyone, and no one will be able to
escape. It was you who gave me the opportunity to climb the ladder, and now you mock me for overestimating my
abilities?”
“Actually, you’re right. It is natural for one to climb the ladder to success, so what can I do for you?” the woman’s
tone instantly softened.
“Abigail has managed to convince Josh, and now he wants me back. If I go back, my plan will be ruined. You must
tell ‘Runway Capitalis’ to invite Abigail as a judge. Once she’s out of Pendorf, I’ll have more room to work my plan
around,” Kelly ordered.
Without a choice, the woman agreed, albeit begrudgingly.
“I have to warn you, though. Trying to win over Sean’s grandmother is pointless. He isn’t close to his grandmother.
If you want to gain his favor, you’d better focus on his grandfather,” the woman. reminded before ending the call.

Kelly was well aware of this as she replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ve got it under control.”
After the call, the woman muttered to herself in a low voice, “I underestimated her. She has a hidden agenda that I
can’t even fathom.”
When Abigail received an unexpected invitation from the “Runway Capitalis” channel, she was surprised.
“Runway Capitalis” was an old television channel primarily focused on fashion-related knowledge. Whenever a TV
series gained popularity, this channel would invite the actors to participate in its programs. They would showcase
the costumes and delve into the cultural aspects of clothing.
Unfortunately, Abigail didn’t have the time and wasn’t planning to accept the invitation to this
program.
“Sorry. I’m not free toward the end of the year,” she rejected politely.

Just a couple of hours after the phone call ended, Lewis, whom she hadn’t talked to in a long time, called her.
“It’s been a while, Miss Quinn. How have you been? Lewis sounded extremely polite.
Abigail replied with a smile, “I’m doing fine. Is there a reason for your call?” In reality, she had a faint inkling of
what it might be about.
“It’s about the invitation from Runway Capitalist. Why didn’t you accept it? We’ve all agreed to invite you, and now
the entire cast is only waiting for your answer. This is a great opportunity to share about your designs, isn’t it?” He
sounded somewhat embarrassed.
“I declined because I’ve been really busy. How about asking Professor Gibson? He’s much more knowledgeable
about the clothing of the Western Roman Empire’s invasion era than I am,” Abigail said with a hint of reluctance.
“Professor Gibson doesn’t want to appear on the show. I asked him before reaching out to you. We really need
someone with expertise for this show. Besides, you’re skilled enough to join the show. There are a few young
talents interested in costume design, so you can even select some of them. and take them to your studio. They can
carry on your legacy in the future.” Lewis earnestly tried to persuade her.
She was considering hiring a few assistants, as she was already overwhelmed with work. If her career continued to
grow, she might end up working round the clock. “I’ll think about it,” she responded, not wanting to refuse him
outright.
