Chapter 347 Pleasing Others
Abigail paid no attention to what Cameron would say to Josh as she went straight into her office. After informing her
assistant, she lay down on the couch to rest. Soon, she fell into a deep slumber.
Outside, Cameron and Josh found a quiet spot to have a conversation. Cameron regarded Josh with a wry smile and
delivered his words in a mocking tone. “Mr. Pearson, Miss Hagl may have claimed to be here to apologize to Ms.
Quinn, but she hasn’t taken any tangible steps to demonstrate her sincerity.”
Josh’s expression softened as he responded, “Do you believe that offering a token of apology is the sole indicator of
genuine intent?”
“No, my point is, if she truly desires to apologize, she should be making every possible effort rather than coming
here and ignoring your calls. One has to wonder, what was she doing when she wasn’t answering your phone
calls?” With arms crossed, Cameron wore a cold, smirking expression.
Puzzled by Cameron’s insinuations, Josh approached him and inquired, “What are you getting at?”

genuine apology rather than exploiting it as a pretext to harm Ms. Quinn. Otherwise, her fate could be akin to
Joan’s.” As Cameron spoke, his demeanor grew stern.
Josh pursed his lips, contemplating his next words. Kelly has nothing to do with Vincent. This whole thing is a
misunderstanding. She didn’t have any motives for coming here.”
“If that’s the case, please head to Metro Hospital and take her, who seems to keep pleasing others, away. I recall
that your family has announced a marriage alliance with the Davidsons. Didn’t she come to Pendorf to find her in-
laws because it’s a marriage between her and Eric?” Cameron’s words carried a hint of sarcasm as he turned and
left.
Watching Cameron’s departure, Josh clenched his fists tightly. While Cameron’s words stung, Josh was more
preoccupied with why Kelly was at Metro Hospital. Moreover, he pondered whom she was trying to please. Deep in
thought, he turned around and left. After making several attempts to reach his sister, she finally picked up the
phone.
“What’s the matter, Josh?” she asked casually.
Josh, who had been anxious throughout the day, breathed a sigh of relief. “Where have you been? Why didn’t you
answer your phone? You’re in an unfamiliar place. What if you got lost?” His concern was evident as he questioned
her. After all, she had gone missing during their childhood, and he had experienced the torment of being unable to
reach her, which had driven him to seek Abigail’s assistance.

When she heard that, she quickly reassured him. “I’m at the library. I fell asleep while reading and didn’t hear the
phone ringing. I’ll go home now.”
Josh stopped in his tracks as her response left him wondering, Is she at the library or the hospital? However, he
soon shook his head and reaffirmed his thoughts, deciding to trust Kelly and not take anyone else’s word for it.
“Do you want me to pick you up?” he asked softly. He thought, When she comes home, I’ll have a chat with her.
Either she apologizes to Abigail and asks for forgiveness, or I’ll send her back to Capitalis. After all, Pendorf was

warning by having Vincent undergo an investigation.
“It’s fine. I’ve already called a cab. It won’t happen again, Josh. I’m sorry for making you worry. It’s my fault.” Kelly
apologized again.
“I’ve told you before. You don’t need to keep apologizing. Just come back quickly. I need to talk to you about
something important.” After hanging up the call, Josh was still in denial. He wasn’t sure whether Kelly was at the
library or the hospital and wondered if he should find someone to look into this.
When Luna returned to the studio after running errands, she was greeted by the sight of Abigail reclining on the
couch. She couldn’t help but wonder, Is Sean some kind of human-sized sleeping pill? Why else would Abigail fall
asleep so quickly after meeting with him?
Abigail slept through her entire workday and still felt a bit groggy when she woke up.
Luna was sitting on the couch while watching videos with headphones on. Seeing that Abigail awoke, she promptly
removed her headphones and smiled. “You’re awake? It seems that Sean has quite an effect on you. You met him,
and you’ve been sleeping for nearly three hours. I’m quite impressed.”
“He probably put sleeping pills in the milk he gave me,” Abigail said with a deadpan expression. She doubted that
the man had anything to do with this and was certain he might have spiked her drink.
