Chapter 347 Pleasing Others
Abigail paid no attention to what Cameron would say to Josh as she went straight into her office. After informing her assistant, she lay down on the couch to rest. Soon, she fell into a deep slumber.
Outside, Cameron and Josh found a quiet spot to have a conversation. Cameron regarded Josh with a wry smile and delivered his words in a mocking tone. “Mr. Pearson, Miss Hagl may have claimed to be here to apologize to Ms. Quinn, but she hasn’t taken any tangible steps to demonstrate her sincerity.”
Josh’s expression softened as he responded, “Do you believe that offering a token of apology is the sole indicator of genuine intent?”
“No, my point is, if she truly desires to apologize, she should be making every possible effort rather than coming here and ignoring your calls. One has to wonder, what was she doing when she wasn’t answering your phone calls?” With arms crossed, Cameron wore a cold, smirking expression.
Puzzled by Cameron’s insinuations, Josh approached him and inquired, “What are you getting at?”
“I’m merely conveying a message on behalf of Mr. Graham. It would be in Kelly’s best interest to come here for a genuine apology rather than exploiting it as a pretext to harm Ms. Quinn. Otherwise, her fate could be akin to Joan’s.” As Cameron spoke, his demeanor grew stern.
Josh pursed his lips, contemplating his next words. Kelly has nothing to do with Vincent. This whole thing is a misunderstanding. She didn’t have any motives for coming here.”
“If that’s the case, please head to Metro Hospital and take her, who seems to keep pleasing others, away. I recall that your family has announced a marriage alliance with the Davidsons. Didn’t she come to Pendorf to find her in-laws because it’s a marriage between her and Eric?” Cameron’s words carried a hint of sarcasm as he turned and left.
Watching Cameron’s departure, Josh clenched his fists tightly. While Cameron’s words stung, Josh was more preoccupied with why Kelly was at Metro Hospital. Moreover, he pondered whom she was trying to please. Deep in thought, he turned around and left. After making several attempts to reach his sister, she finally picked up the phone.
“What’s the matter, Josh?” she asked casually.
Josh, who had been anxious throughout the day, breathed a sigh of relief. “Where have you been? Why didn’t you answer your phone? You’re in an unfamiliar place. What if you got lost?” His concern was evident as he questioned her. After all, she had gone missing during their childhood, and he had experienced the torment of being unable to reach her, which had driven him to seek Abigail’s assistance.

When she heard that, she quickly reassured him. “I’m at the library. I fell asleep while reading and didn’t hear the phone ringing. I’ll go home now.”
Josh stopped in his tracks as her response left him wondering, Is she at the library or the hospital? However, he soon shook his head and reaffirmed his thoughts, deciding to trust Kelly and not take anyone else’s word for it.
