Chapter 219 Conditional
Joan started crying.
“I’m not… That’s slander! I don’t even know who you are.”
Lynette sneered. “As if you’re even fit to be slandered by me. I wouldn’t have bothered with you if you had just stayed away after getting what you wanted. Why did you come all the way over just to taunt the woman whose marriage you ruined, huh? You either have too much time on your hands, or you’re just a b*tch through and through!”
Abigail knew it was too late to stop Lynette. In any case, Joan asked for it.
Just for the sake of getting Sean, Joan had Lina make a scene in front of Analise, and the latter nearly died as a result. Why would Abigail pity a woman like that?
Joan came over to mock Abigail. She didn’t expect to find someone who would come forward to protect Abigail.
“Abby… save me… Sean won’t let her get away with treating me like this!” Lynette was too scary, so Joan began pleading with Abigail instead.
Just then, Josh came out and shielded Abigail behind him.
“Do
you need me to call Sean Graham for you and tell him to come over?” Josh’s voice was a lot colder when he addressed Joan.
Joan stiffened. Her eyes flitted between Abigail and Josh as an outrageous thought occurred to her.
“What’s your relationship?” she asked instinctively.
“Why would they need to inform an immoral lowlife like you what their relationship is?” Lynette scoffed.
“I’m going back in,” Abigail said coolly before heading into the tea house. She didn’t want to continue standing in front of the crowd of onlookers.
Josh wanted to go back in with her, so he said to Lynette, “That’s enough, now. She’s not worth any more of your time.”
Lynette smiled. “You’re right, Josh. I’m just dirtying my hands.”
Back inside the tea house, Abigail remained silent.
Nothing was going well for her.
“Here’s your dessert. I’ll make another pot of tea.” Josh set down the cupcake in front of Abigail.
The icing on the cupcake was in the shape of a flower. It was very pretty.
“Alright,” Abigail said.
Lynette sat down beside Abigail. Her eyes were shining as she asked, “Abby, what did you about my performance today?”

“Not too shabby, but wouldn’t you be negatively affected for recklessly attacking her?” Abigail was worried that Joan would make a big deal out of this incident online. It would be negative publicity for the Pearsons.
“Our family doesn’t rely on public opinion to earn money. And anyway, Joan’s just a bug on the windshield. Even us, the younger ones in the Pearson Family, can easily crush her,” Josh explained.
“Even so, you shouldn’t underestimate the power of the internet,” Abigail reminded.
In this day and age, even the smallest incident can be blown up to epic proportions online. People would often upload bits and pieces of the truth and twist things around to garner attention.
other.
Abigail was startled to hear Josh using that nickname with her. She was still biting on the cupcake when she looked at Josh.
Had he been her friend, she would’ve been moved by his gesture. Alas, he was not her friend. He just wanted to take her away from Analise.
Thus, all of his goodwill came with a condition. It wasn’t simply an act of kindness.
