I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Deal With It Once and for All

Lacey hesitated for a moment, then said, “You’re Abigail’s grandmother, right? Are you aware that she’s going behind your back-”

“Young lady, before you say anything, you need to have evidence to back you up. How can you say such baseless things to slander others? Did your parents not teach you right?” Analise cut Lacey

off.

“It’s still better than raising a granddaughter who enjoys being a fake b*tch,” Lacey retorted before abruptly ending the call.

Analise was furious and about to call back when she heard Abigail’s voice from behind.

“Give me the phone, Grandma. Don’t worry, it’s just a misunderstanding.”

“Is one of your competitors sending people to hara*s you?” Analise turned around and pa*sed the phone to Abigail.

Abigail shook her head. “I’m not sure either.” Dinner didn’t sit well with her. After returning to her room, she decided to call Lacey.

Soon, Lacey picked up.

“What’s this? Are you teaching me a lesson in place of your grandmother?” Lacey’s tone carried a sense of smugness.

“I’ll bring all the messages you sent to your house to clarify exactly where I’ve offended you,” Abigail calmly stated.

Lacey paused for a moment and then continued, “Can’t handle it already, old lady?”

Abigail, feeling a sense of frustration, terminated the call and promptly blocked it. She couldn’t help but think, I extended some courtesy for Anthony’s sake, but now she’s taking advantage of it.

Wanting to clarify her suspicions, she decided to send a text to Ronaldo. ‘Is Lacey Fernandez your

cousin? The one who’s dating Anthony Booker.

The man responded with a shocked emoji. ‘How did you know? Has the news spread that fast?”

‘Yeah, Anthony brought her to Pendorf, and I ran into them. Since he’s helped me out, I should pay a visit to your cousin to offer my congratulations. I’m catching a flight soon, and I’d appreciate it if you could pick me up at the airport

Even though a pesky fly wouldn’t stir up much trouble, it was still an annoyance.

She decided it was time to address the issue at its root.

“Oh. Sure!’ he replied with a cutesy emoji after that.

Two hours later, Abigail arrived at the Eastbay airport. Ronaldo was there with a few of his friends to welcome her. She was dressed professionally, and her confident appearance made him and his friends momentarily captivated.

“Where does your cousin live?” she asked, seemingly unaware of the man’s reaction.

He immediately snapped out of his reverie and replied, “It’s not that far from here, but it wouldn’t be right to drop in at this hour, don’t you think?”

Lacey’s parents had been informed in advance, and they were waiting in the living room. When Abigail saw them, she nodded politely and said, “I apologize for coming over at this hour of the

2/3

night. I’m Alana, L.Moon Studio’s designer. My real name is Abigail Quinn. Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Fernandez.”

“We know who you are. Anthony mentioned you before. He spoke highly of your talent as a designer. Now that I see you in person, it’s clear that you’re a spirited young woman,” Tony Fernandez said with a smile. However, these words were merely polite pleasantries. His smile did not reach his eyes, and there was a hint of superiority in his tone.

His wife, Carla Rock, smiled faintly and asked, “What brings you here?”

“I need your help with something.” Abigail retrieved a tablet from her bag and opened the image gallery, pa*sing it to them.

Tony accepted the tablet, and after browsing through the screenshots, his expression hardened.

“Did Lacey send these to you?” His voice was filled with anger as he set the tablet down on the

coffee table.

Carla took the tablet next, examined the contents, and then regarded Abigail with a hostile gaze. She murmured, “Lacey is a good girl. Everyone knows she’s polite and mature. How could she possibly have said such things? Is this some kind of misunderstanding?”

Abigail maintained a calm expression and added, There’s also an audio recording of a phone conversation. You can check if it’s your daughter’s voice.”

Ronaldo cautiously moved closer behind Carla and reached out to tap on the tablet.
