Chapter 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.

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?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that. Just lead the way,” Abigail said coolly.
Ronaldo was about to say something when one of his friends interjected, “Go ahead and take her there. In Eastbay,
we don’t sleep this early anyway. Lacey’s parents might still be up for a nightcap.
Alright then, Ronaldo said, realizing what was happening.
Abigail wasn’t here to congratulate anyone. She was here to address a problem, and she was dressed to make her
presence authoritative.
Once they got in the car, Ronaldo asked her, “Tell me, Ms. Quinn, what’s going on? Why did you come at this hour
dressed like a lawyer about to enter a courtroom? It’s a bit intimidating.”
She glanced at him. “You’ll find out soon enough. Don’t worry about it.”
“It’s not something serious, is it, Ms. Quinn? I’m a little scared.” He placed his hand on his chest, appearing quite
innocent.
“You haven’t done anything, so what’s there for you to be afraid of?” Abigail eyed him.
“I just want everything to go well,” he said.
She chuckled and said nothing.
Lacey’s family lived in the city in a standalone villa. They appeared quite well-off
