Chapter 523 It Was Planned All Along

Even if Abigail was free, Selena refused to let them see her.

Lawrence tugged at Scarlett’s sleeve before she could say anything. “Sure, we’ll set an appointment. Please inform her of that.”

“Wait here.” Selena gave them a brief response as she walked back to Abigail’s office.

She knocked on the door when she was outside before entering to report. “Abigail, when I told them Old Mrs. Quinn wasn’t available, they changed their minds and said they wanted. to see you instead. They want to make an appointment, but I don’t think you should see them. I bet they want to apologize, but what’s the point of it now?”

Abigail nodded and calmly replied, “Sure. Decline their request. Inform them that I won’t be available until next year, and we’ll see what happens when that time comes.”

She wasn’t lying about her busy schedule. She would rather complete her work than see the couple.

Selena cheered at the response. She turned on her heels and walked out of the office to inform the Pearsons of Abigail’s decision.

After conveying Abigail’s message to them, she couldn’t help but add, “Mr. Pearson, Madam. Harper-even I, a mere assistant, remember what you had done in L.Moon a month ago. If I were you guys, I wouldn’t have the audacity to come here again. Ms. Quinn forgives and forgets, but I hope you won’t bother her again.”

Lawrence choked on his breath while Scarlett’s eyes reddened with emotion.

Their biggest mistake was spoiling Kelly too much to the point of being unreasonable.

If only they had been firmer with her, it wouldn’t have led to this.

“I understand. Thanks for reminding us.” Lawrence was pale as he said that. Then, he took Scarlett’s hand and walked out of the waiting area.

The pair exited the building. He had to stand there for a few minutes to collect himself. It was only then that he felt the warm sunlight on his skin again.
