Chapter 281 Analise’s Secret
Abigail sat silently in her office, listening to Katie’s lawyer without saying a word.
“Ms. Quinn, we shouldn’t have hard feelings in business. Posting something like that online is too extreme. By doing so, you’re damaging his reputation, and you’ll have to face severe consequences. Moreover, he disappeared without a trace after he visited your home. Can you honestly claim that you have no involvement in this matter?” the lawyer continued prodding.
“Alana’s lawyer will speak to you later. You won’t benefit from trying to explain now!” Abigail’s assistant replied to the lawyer, her expression stern.
Instead of responding to the assistant, the lawyer continued, “Mr. Lancome’s disappearance could benefit your online blog significantly. Was this part of your plan, Ms. Quinn?”
Abigail picked up her teacup elegantly, took a sip, and even yawned.
Since Katie was not easy to deal with, Abigail had no intention of saying a word to her lawyer. She didn’t want to fall into any traps during their conversation, which could potentially lead to her having to pay a substantial sum to Katie.
Noticing her continued silence, the lawyer rubbed his temples.
He was simmering with anger as he whispered to Katie’s vice president, “We should probably wait for her lawyer to arrive since she’s not willing to speak.”
Katie’s vice president, who happened to be Chad’s cousin, Yaron Lancome, checked his watch and couldn’t hold back any longer. “Ms. Quinn, we’re all in this business to make a living. Going to court won’t be in anyone’s interest. We will carefully consider your demands, and as long as they are reasonable, we will agree to them.”
Abigail’s gaze fell on his relatively gentle face as she responded nonchalantly, “Mr. Lancome, let’s have both our lawyers handle this It’s my first time sitting down formally to discuss a
matte lawsuit with someone, so it’s quite intimidating.”
Even though she said that, there was no hint of fear in her demeanor.
Yaron’s lips twitched, and his brows knitted tightly as he looked at Abigail. Just as he was about to
“In that case, we won’t take up any more of your
speak, Katie’s lawyer yanked his sleeve slightly
time, Ms. Quinn.”
With that, the lawyer pulled Yaron aside.
A group of over a dozen people in suits emerged from L.Moon, shocking passersby, who looked at them but dared not approach.
Yaron walked to the entrance of L.Moon and turned to look at the sign hanging outside the
studio. His face darkened as he muttered, “Alana might be a woman, but she’s cunning! How dare she release a video challenging Katie openly? She definitely has a hidden agenda.”
They had initially come here today to intimidate Abigail into seeking reconciliation. However, they ended up merely sitting with her for half an hour. She sipped water and yawned, and as soon as their lawyer opened his mouth, she didn’t even bother letting out a squeak!
