Chapter 332 Who the Hell Do You Think You Are?
Early the next morning, Abigail arranged her work for the day after she arrived at her. She intended to start designing clothes in her workspace.
“Someone wants to see you,” her assistant suddenly said, pushing open the office door.
company.
At that moment, Abigail looked up to see Kelly standing in her office doorway. She was dressed in an expensive luxury dress, her silky hair cascading down her shoulders, and she exuded an air of innocence.
Even if she had not seen her before, Abigail instantly knew she was Kelly. That was because she had a sinister smile.
“Miss Alana, I’m Kelly Hagl, Josh’s sister,” she introduced herself as she walked into the room, her voice soft and friendly.
Abigail stood up straight, her expression cold. “Hi, are you here to place a custom order?”
Kelly walked further into the office, glancing around before addressing Abigail. “I’m here to apologize. Although I wasn’t responsible for the situation, I still feel genuinely sorry.”
Abigail was well aware of the underlying message in Kelly’s words. She was being openly provocative, which Abigail found repulsive.
While Kelly had not orchestrated the situation, she took part in it, though evidence was still not found by Sean. As such, she had taken pleasure in the fact that they could not touch her.
“I don’t need your apology. I have work to do, and my office isn’t open for anyone to walk into,” Abigail replied coldly, picking up her documents and walking around her desk.
“Abigail, my mother promised me that you’d design a dress for me no matter what. I genuinely want to wear a dress you make. Can you fulfill my wish?” Kelly maintained her slow, confident.
tone.
“If I don’t, how will the Pearsons deal with me?” Abigail asked, her gaze icy, showing no fear of Kelly or her family.
Kelly suddenly burst into laughter. “We’re not bandits. We just hope you’ll act rationally. Damon Copper’s parents aren’t people to be trifled with. Your offering the pearl gown to him has already upset his parents. If you make me a dress, the Pearsons can be your support, too.”
“Your family is nothing to me,” Abigail responded with a cold look.
Kelly was momentarily stunned by the unexpected audacity.
“Kelly Hagl, though Sean had yet to find evidence against you, you’ve cleverly cleaned up your

tracks. But do you honestly think you can be lucky forever?” Abigail sneered. “I thought the Pearson Family had found a remarkable heiress, but it turns out you’re just a filthy rat.”
“Abigail, how can you say that about me?” Kelly’s eyes welled up with tears.
As Abigail’s words ended, Josh appeared at the office door. He looked at her with an astonished expression as if he could not believe she had hurt Kelly with her words.
However, she was not flustered at being misunderstood; instead, she stared at him with a stern look. “I blocked all of your family’s contact information last night. Have I not made myself clear enough?!”
“Abigail, how could you say that about Kelly?” Upset that Abigail had called Kelly a filthy rat, Josh could not help expressing his anger.
She had come to Pendorf this morning due to Scarlett’s encouragement, and he had followed suit once he learned about it. Since she was already in Pendorf, he thought it was a good opportunity for them to meet and clear up any misunderstandings.
However, he was taken aback by Abigail’s harsh words.
“No matter what I said, I’m already showing my respect. Don’t force me to get rough with my words, Josh. I made my stance clear from the beginning. Can’t you understand human speech? Do you have to come looking for trouble?” Abigail was filled with anger.
The phone call from Josh and Scarlett last night had already infuriated her, and today, they even came to see her in person and annoyed her!
“Uncle Vincent did something outrageous. I know that nothing I say can make up for the pain he caused you.”
She bit back impatiently. “Outrageous? If Sean’s friends hadn’t covered me, who do you think would be in the hospital right now? Would it be me or my grandmother? If anything happens to her because of this, I’d consider it bad luck even if the Pearsons gave me their lives! This is a matter of life and death, Josh. After Sean’s doing, your family still dares to provoke me? Tell me, do you have any self-awareness?”
“Abigail, it was our uncle who did it. I know you’re angry, and I can apologize to you, but Josli truly cares about you….” Tears welled up in Kelly’s eyes, and she looked deeply wronged.
Abigail only gazed coldly at her and spoke after Kelly was done putting on a show. “You don’t need to apologize. I’m not that angry; I just hope you have some self-awareness. I’m busy, and my schedule is booked until the end of the year. So, for the last time, I don’t have time to make a dress for you.” She then called her assistant and instructed, “Please escort the guests out.”
Kelly looked at Josh with red eyes. “Josh, it’s my fault… I thought she’d accept my apology if I came to apologize in person-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sean’s voice sounded at the office door. “Who the hell do you think you are? Do you think she has to be grateful just because you came to apologize?”
Hearing that, Abigail looked at Sean, who was walking in. The man was dressed in a suit, like always, but the aura surrounding him was cold, as if he could turn people into ice.
