I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn Novel

Chapter 318 Don’t Let Her Suffer Any Grievances

“Did

you come to see us hoping we would talk to Lacey, Ms. Quinn?” Tony looked at Abigail with at stern expression.

“Unfortunately, my grandma answered my phone today. She’s in poor health and was quite upset, which is why I came here. I don’t know how to communicate with Miss Fernandez, and I’m unclear on why she’s behaving this way. So, I had no choice but to seek advice from wife, Mr. Fernandez,” Abigail responded calmly, maintaining eye contact with him.

Just as he was about to respond, his phone rang. The caller ID displayed Pendorf’s area code, causing his brows to furrow.

“Please excuse me for a moment, Ms. Quinn. This is an urgent call.” Tony left with his phone.

While he was away, Ronaldo exclaimed, “Why did Lacey do such a thing? If there’s a misunderstanding, shouldn’t she try to talk it out instead of using these messages to humiliate Ms. Quinn? She’s gone too far!”

Carla shot a cold glare at him. “This hasn’t even been confirmed yet. How can you accuse her? Why would she have so many numbers?

Abigail politely addressed Carla, “I came here to find a solution. We all have our responsibilities. and little time for these inconsequential matters, don’t you think?”

“It hasn’t been confirmed that it was my daughter’s doing yet, so I can’t give you an answer,” Carla declared with a haughty air, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Abigail.

Abigail realized that her visit might have been presumptuous and potentially caused some resentment. However, she believed it was the right thing to do. If she continued to avoid the issue, what would happen if Lacey’s harassment extended beyond her? What if Lacey targeted Analise or others? Remaining composed, Abigail suggested, “You could find out by informing her to return home and discussing the matter with her.”

Inside the study, Tony took the call and immediately greeted, “Hello.”

“Mr. Fernandez? I’m Sean Graham.” Though the man’s voice carried a pleasant tone, it still made Tony feel uneasy.

“I’ve heard much about you, Mr. Graham. May I know the reason for your call at this late hour? Is it an urgent matter?” Tony inquired respectfully.

“I’ve heard that Abigail is visiting Eastbay, so I have to ask you to take care of her for me, Mr. Fernandez. Please don’t let her suffer any kind of grievance while in a foreign city,” Sean said with a subtle smile.

Tony couldn’t miss the subtext in Sean’s words. Sean wasn’t merely asking for hospitality; it was a clear warning not to allow any harm to come to Abigail while she was under his roof. Everyone in their social circle had heard about what Sean did to the Pearsons, and even Tony, being in

Eastbay, had heard plenty of rumors.

It was common knowledge that nobody would want to get on Sean’s bad side, as those who did would pay a hefty price.

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Tony reassured Sean with a smile, “Of course. You have my

word, Mr. Graham. I’ll ensure that Ms. Quinn has a pleasant stay here in Eastbay.”

After concluding the call with Sean, Tony returned to the room and looked at Abigail with a much friendlier expression. “I called Lacey, but she’s currently studying in another city and can’t return.”

“That’s right. Lacey is pursuing a career as a violinist, Carla said proudly.

He glared at his wife. “Why are you butting in? No one asked for your input. You’re not needed here. Go upstairs.”

Abigail was taken aback by the sudden change in his attitude. She couldn’t help but wonder, Did that call have something to do with me?

Carla sensed that something was up with her husband, too, so she left without protest.

Tony sat across from Abigail, and he had the household staff serve some fruits and desserts. Then, he prepared tea himself as he said, “Lacey’s behavior is the result of us spoiling her. She cares deeply for Anthony, and she takes her relationships very seriously. She often becomes. preoccupied with unwarranted concerns.

“It’s evident that Lacey becomes obsessive in her relationships. If she’s so fond of Anthony, she should just hold onto him. Why is she secretly insulting Ms. Quinn?” Ronaldo expressed his frustration.

Tony felt exasperated by Ronaldo’s lack of cooperation. He wondered why Ronaldo was siding with an outsider rather than supporting his family. After glancing at Ronaldo, he nodded awkwardly. “She’s insecure when it comes to relationships. I heard that Anthony and you got along very well in school, Ms. Quinn. Even now, Anthony helps you no matter what kind of difficulty you face at work. My daughter… I’m sure she’s jealous because she heard about that.”

Abigail resisted the urge to roll her eyes as she asked with a smile, “How do you think we should. resolve this? Mr. Booker and I are simply business partners. If your daughter is so concerned, Mr. Fernandez, why don’t we invite them over for a proper discussion? I don’t mind extending my stay by a day.”

Ronaldo immediately expressed his support, saying, “Inviting them for a clear discussion is the best approach.”

She glanced at him, and he grinned, saying, “I’m on the side of reason, not family. It’s clear that

Lacey is at fault here.”

“Anthony is currently on a business trip, so he can’t return. I’ll call Lacey again and try to arrange a meeting. Feel free to extend your stay, Ms. Quinn. We’ll cover your accommodation expenses,” Tony assured, serving Abigail a cup of tea.
