Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Harassment

After exchanging pleasantries, Anthony and Abigail hung up the phone, each holding their thoughts.

She placed her phone on the table and stared at her computer screen, lost in her thoughts for a while before finally regaining her focus. However, her peace was short-lived as her phone buzzed. with a new message.

‘Don’t contact Anthony again, you two-faced b*tch!”

She read the message and scoffed, promptly deleting it. However, within moments, another text arrived, this time from Lacey.

‘Do you think I’m scared of you just because you have Sean backing you up? If you piss me off and cause problems with Anthony’s business, he’ll cut off all ties with you.’

Abigail read the message, pondering her response for a while.

‘Do you lack self-confidence to the point that you need to target me?’

The tone in Lacey’s messages seemed completely incongruent with her appearance and demeanor. Still, Abigail found the contrast quite striking.

‘Are you trying to belittle me just to make yourself look good? Don’t be so cocky, b*tch! For whom are you pretending to be gracious? No matter how graceful you are, Anthony won’t choose to be with you.

‘I have no interest in Anthony. To me, the man you’re protecting is just an ordinary person. Besides, you’re rather useless. All you do is hurl insults at me instead of discussing your insecurities with him. Is it because you’re too much of a coward?’

After typing her reply, Abigail felt resigned to wasting her time dealing with Lacey.

‘I don’t talk to him because I know what kind of person he is. I’m talking to you because there’s always a chance you’d keep being the b*tch you are.

‘If you feel so insecure, Lacey, just tell Anthony to block me on every platform. Don’t come up and throw a fit at me. Is that clear?’

She finished her message and blocked Lacey’s number. To her surprise, Lacey switched to at different number to continue harassing her. Abigail continued to block each new number, and it took four blocked numbers before Lacey finally stopped.

By this point, it was already noon, and the harassment had completely soured Abigail’s mood. She hadn’t been able to complete a single design all morning. Anyone subjected to such baseless accusations would feel equally upset. Just when things had settled down with the Pearsons, Lacey

had emerged as a new source of trouble.

During lunch, Abigail contemplated the idea of having a heart-to-heart conversation with Lacey to resolve their misunderstandings. However, Abigail quickly dismissed the notion, thinking, First, I have to find out why Lacey hates me so much. After considering the way Lacey looked and behaved at the bar, Abigail couldn’t believe she was the one who sent those

messages.

After lunch, Abigail went back to her office and called Luna to help her investigate Lacey.

“What did she do to you now?” Luna inquired immediately.

“I believe there’s a misunderstanding between us, and I want to get to the bottom of it,” Abigail replied.

“Sure, but I need to know the nature of the misunderstanding.” Luna understood Abigail’s character. She wouldn’t have taken such a step without good reason.

After a brief pause, Abigail admitted, “I’ll forward you the messages, but promise me you won’t get angry.”
