Chapter 314 Cameron Listens to You
Luna had been furious, but after hearing that, she deflated like a balloon.
“Why do you think that Lacey woman was so hostile toward you?” Luna held Abigail’s hand and asked with a frown.
Abigail’s brows creased as she thought about it. Moments later, she commented, “It probably has something to do
with Anthony. He was all dressed up. Doesn’t that signify they’re on a date?”
Luna rolled her eyes. “I’m speechless.”
She finally understood the situation. If Anthony had been on a date with Lacey, the latter would have been hostile
toward Abigail because of how well Anthony treated her.
While they were studying, Anthony took very good care of Abigail. All their classmates said he liked her. Lacey
wouldn’t have had to dig very deep to find out about that.
Meanwhile, Abigail paid no mind to this.
The next day, soon after Abigail came into the office, her assistant came to say there was a visitor.
As soon as Abigail’s assistant finished speaking, the door to the office flew open.

“It’s fine, Abigail cut her assistant off
Abigail’s assistant glanced at Lacey. She quelled her dissatisfaction and exited the office in silence.
“Are you here for a visit, or do you wish to place an order, Miss Fernandez?” Abigail stood up with a polite smile on
her face.
Lacey sat on the couch and studied the office before looking at Abigail. “You should know that I don’t like you.”
“Yeah. I picked up on that last night,” Abigail calmly responded. She was startled by Lacey’s
bluntness.
“I figured you weren’t stupid. Do you know why I hate you?” Lacey crossed her legs and tilted her head upward as if
she owned the place.
I’m guessing it’s because of Anthony,” Abigail deduced.
Lacey cocked her eyebrows and declared domineeringly, “I know you two have had a good relationship ever since
your schooling days. Even though you’re both working now, he’s still very protective of you and keeps helping you. I
don’t like that. But, when it comes to work, you can’t be
1/3
of any help to him. He needs my family more, so that’s why he chose me. I’m sure you know when to give up. Since
you’re busy creating rumors about you and Sean, just focus on that. Stop contacting Anthony.”
Abigail realized Lacey had come to mark her territory.
“Anthony and I have always been nothing more than business partners. Don’t overthink it, Miss Fernandez. If
something could have happened between us, it would have happened by now, don’t you think?” Abigail responded
with a nonchalant smile.
“You’re not in a relationship with him because you like being surrounded by men. Be it my cousin, or him, or even
others like Sean Graham and Eric Davidson, aren’t they all your knights in shining armor? Truth be told, I despise
women like you. I’ve seen more than my fair share of two- faced b*tches like you in college.” Lacey had a look of
scorn and derision on her face.
Abigail was about to speak when the door to the office opened again.
Sean stood in the doorway. An icy aura emanated from him.
Abigail’s assistant stood by the door. She was a little worried that Abigail would chide her for not stopping Sean.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Lacey looked at Sean, she sensed the terrifying look in his eyes and swiftly got to her feet. She was a lot less
domineering now. “I said what I came to say. I’m leaving now.”
“Who said you could leave?” Sean asked as he fixed his ice-cold gaze on Lacey.
“Let her leave,” Abigail said.
Sean pursed his lips and eyed Lacey.
Lacey’s knees turned to jelly. She held the couch for support as she stepped back.
“If you leave without apologizing, I’m not sure whether your tongue will remain in your possession for much
longer,” Sean remarked before entering the office.
Cameron, who was behind Sean, started walking toward Lacey with a threatening air.
Abigail frowned. “Cameron!”
Cameron reined in his intimidating air. He looked at Abigail and said, “Since you’re so kind, Ms. Quinn, I won’t be too
hard on her.”
“Leave Abigail said to Lacey.
Lacey had waltzed into the office with her nose in the air, but she was leaving with her tail between her legs now.
