The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 445 Demanding an Explanation

Achoo!

Abigail was watching her show when her nose suddenly itched. She rubbed her nose and mumbled, “The heating is on full blast, but I still feel a bit chilly.”

Then, she wondered how Luna and Fairy Meadow were getting along… Even when watching a show, she could not fully relax and aimlessly chatted on her phone when it suddenly rang. She glanced at the phone. number, which seemed somewhat familiar, but could not recall immediately.

Nevertheless, she answered the call. As the call connected, she heard Scarlett’s voice. “Ms. Quinn, can you spare some time for coffee?”

No wonder it felt familiar. Abigail had blocked her number before but later thought it unnecessary and unblocked it. “Whatever you want to discuss, just say it over the phone. I don’t want to go out in this freezing weather.” She declined coolly.

“If you don’t want to miss out on the collaboration between L.Moon and Fairy Meadow, you better listen to me. Design a set of clothing for Kelly. It doesn’t need to be extraordinary, just something suitable for her.” Scarlett’s voice carried an authoritative tone.

After listening to her, Abigail sneered. “You’ve already pressured Fairy Meadow, and at this point, you’re asking me to design for Kelly. It seems like the Pearson Family is willing to lose all their reputation to resort to such underhanded tactics as threatening people?”

“Abigail, watch your words!”

“Why should I, especially in front of people who only make my life harder? As I’ve said, there are so many designers that you can find. Why are you forcing me just because Kelly specified me? Is it because she chose me that you can use her as a reason to force me to do something I don’t want?” Abigail argued firmly.

Scarlett took a deep breath while trying to keep her composure. “Abigail, we’re in Capitalis now, and things work differently here. Even a prestigious family can make all of L.Moon’s years of effort go to waste. Don’t believe me? Try it and see!”

“That’s right. I’m trying right now. Your daughter, Kelly, should never expect me to design for her in her lifetime. I’ll say it again-she’s unworthy of it!” Abigail hung up the phone directly.

She was in a fit of anger when her assistant knocked on the door and stood at the doorway before saying. “Mr. Pearson wants to see you.”

I won’t see him. Tell him to get lost, Abigail said as her temper flared for the first time.

The assistant thought that perhaps spending too much me with Luna had started to affect Abigail’s temper. She was annoyed whenever she saw people from the Pearson Family

She looked at him indifferently. “So what?”

“Feel free to continue your collaboration with Fairy Meadow and proceed with the new product launch. I’ll handle the rest.” His tone was firm.

Abigail’s anger gradually subsided because of his words. “Josh, you should be very clear about my character. I’ve had no conflict or grievance with the Pearson Family, and there is no need for us to be involved with each other. Can I kindly request you guys to find another designer?” she spoke coldly.

She was well aware that Scarlett was trying to force her to submit. Since she had upset Kelly and had her slapped by Cameron, they wanted to force her into doing undesirable things just to make Kelly feel better.

“You don’t have to worry about designing the dress. I’ll handle that,” Josh said and intended to leave.

She raised her hand and pressed her temples. “I hope you can keep your word. The collaboration between Fairy Meadow and L.Moon is very important to me. If the Pearson Family interferes and ruins it, I won’t let your family and your sister off the hook.”

He nodded in response and felt troubled by the current situation. He never wanted things to escalate to this point. They could have worked things out peacefully, but it had become a mess.

Abigail sat back on the couch and leaned against it before staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Josh walked to the doorway and suddenly stopped. Then, he could not help but say to her, “Sean also came to my place today to ask for an explanation for you. Of course, the fact that Kelly was assaulted by Cameron was a problem he should’ve resolved. Kelly is directing her anger at you probably because Sean cares about you; she’s jealous.”

Abigail did not respond, not wanting to get entangled in these messy matters. It would not help to dismiss Cameron now, anyway, since Kelly’s target had always been her. Since Kelly returned to the Pearson Family, she had never stopped harassing Abigail.

After Josh left for a while, Abigail dialed Ronaldo’s number. He answered almost immediately, and before she could speak, he happily exclaimed, “Ms. Quinn, you finally called me! I thought we were in two different worlds after you won the award!”

“I heard that your pearl sales are doing very well. I haven’t congratulated you yet.” Her gloomy mood eased a bit when she heard him talk.
