hapter 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 harass you?” Analise turned around and passed 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?”
Who would pay someone a visit at 10.30PM?
