Chapter 266 Every Success Comes With a Great Challenge
Abigail couldn’t refuse the professor’s request since she was now a public figure. She needed to be cautious with her words and actions. Moreover, she also had to act modestly in the professor’s presence and at the school.
“When is the reunion? I need to ch*ck my schedule,” Abigail asked as she looked at Anthony.
“It’s on Tuesday. It’s a working day, but it will be held after 6.00PM. I did tell the professor that you’re very busy, and she said a two–hour gathering wouldn’t take much of your time,” Anthony said gently. He was still a considerate person, like how Abigail knew.
Abigail nodded and replied, “Okay. Please send me the hotel address where the reunion will be held.”
“Sure Anthony stood up. Then, he looked at Abigail hesitantly, seemingly as if he had something
to say.
However, Abigail pretended not to see it. At this moment, she was getting fed up. Whether it Eric or Anthony, she felt it was hard to communicate with them.

“Send my regards to the professor. It’s getting late, and I still have some work to get done. Please excuse me. Oh, by the way, thank you for introducing me to Mr. Fernandez. He has some excellent quality pearls, and I’m quite satisfied with them,” Abigail said as she stood up, wearing a fake smile.
Anthony froze momentarily but maintained his usual elegant demeanor. “I’m glad you like them.”
When he left Abigail’s office, his usual gentle composure faded away. He took a deep breath and left.
On the other hand, Abigail and her a*sistant went to the warehouse.
The fabric and accessories they used for the birthday dress they made for Eric’s grandmother were now bought back. These materials were expensive, and they needed to sell them out. Thus, the only thing they could do was redesign it. Once it turned into a finished product, the Davidsons would surely cause trouble again.
“Double–ch*ck it, especially the length of the fabric and the quantity of the gold thread and other materials. I need precise numbers,” Abigail stated after inspecting the materials. Then, she turned around and left.
The length of the fabric determined the style she could design, and the amount of gold thread dictated the patterns she could embroider. Knowing the gold thread’s exact quantity would allow her to make adjustments when drawing the design. She wouldn’t give away the design to anyone that the Davidsons didn’t want. After all, this was an insult to herself and her clients. She would treat it as a discarded draftls
Abigail felt relaxed after giving the two men who had annoyed her the cold shoulder. Initially, she thought this was over. However, during dinner, while she was scrolling through her Instagram feed, she noticed someone had mentioned her. A user named ‘Davidsons Girl‘ had tagged her, mentioning her name as Alana, and posted a post questioning her.
‘As an internationally renowned designer, I was promised that you would design a dress for my grandmother on her birthday. However, because of a few amateur family members, you canceled our order and even blacklisted our entire family. Is this reasonable? My grandmother is waiting. for her dress and genuinely loves your designs. Your actions have hurt her feelings. Is it fair for your studio to blacklist a client without any investigation? Or do you guys want to take away the 20% deposit? Are you being arrogant because you’ve gained international recognition? My cousin Eric Davidson has treated you well. Before he collaborated with Lexie Chambers, he had replaced the previous designer just to have you make the dress for my grandmother, gaining benefits for L.Moon. Yet, you now have blacklisted out the entire Davidson Family. Don’t you think you’re being harsh on Eric? After all, he has always supported you, even scolding the others when they went too far. Yet, this is what you give him in return?‘
This post had gained much attention since it mentioned Eric’s name. Eric’s name had become a trending topic on Instagram, so the person’s post attracted various marketing accounts. After many shares, it had climbed to the end of the trending list.
However, just as Abigail clicked on the post, it had disappeared. The webpage showed that the post didn’t exist and had been deleted by the author.
At that moment, Abigail looked at the screen with a baffled expression. Like any other netizen, she didn’t understand what happened. Then, as she aimlessly browsed Instagram for about ten minutes, she suddenly stumbled upon an Instagram post by Sean. Since she followed Sean’s account, she would get notice whenever Sean posted anything.
Tagging Davidson Girl, he wrote, ‘Is the Davidson Family bullying Alana because she has no one backing her up? How dare you question her when it was your family members who caused trouble for her? If you can’t manage your own people, don’t be so impulsive about it. If your family enjoys toying with others, please find a designer who is willing to be toyed with. As a high- status family, don’t hara*s a newly established studio. Would it take me to expose the real motives behind this incident for you to stop bothering her? Keep some dignity for yourself.
When Abigail read Sean’s post, she realized the post earlier was probably deleted because Sean had taken action.
However, she wondered how he found out about it so quickly.
Abigail closed the app and wanted to ask Sean about it. However, she didn’t know how to do it. She knew this situation with the Davidsons canceling their order was more complex than it seemed. It could have been a trap initially, intending to lure her into it. This time, Sean intervened promptly and saved her from much trouble. She knew that if he hadn’t intervened, she might have fallen into many more traps set by the Davidsons. She would be mentally exhausted once she was done repeatedly clarifying the situation.
