Chapter 281 Analise’s Secret
Abigail sat silently in her office, listening to Katie’s lawyer without saying a word.
“Ms. Quinn, we shouldn’t have hard feelings in business. Posting something like that online is too extreme. By doing so, you’re damaging his reputation, and you’ll have to face severe consequences. Moreover, he disappeared without a trace after he visited your home. Can you honestly claim that you have no involvement in this matter?” the lawyer continued prodding.
“Alana’s lawyer will speak to you later. You won’t benefit from trying to explain now!” Abigail’s a*sistant replied to the lawyer, her expression stern.
Instead of responding to the a*sistant, the lawyer continued, “Mr. Lancome’s disappearance could benefit your online blog significantly. Was this part of your plan, Ms. Quinn?”
Abigail picked up her teacup elegantly, took a sip, and even yawned.
Since Katie was not easy to deal with, Abigail had no intention of saying a word to her lawyer. She didn’t want to fall into any traps during their conversation, which could potentially lead to her having to pay a substantial sum to Katie.
Noticing her continued silence, the lawyer rubbed his temples.
He was simmering with anger as he whispered to Katie’s vice president, “We should probably wait for her lawyer to arrive since she’s not willing to speak.”
Katie’s vice president, who happened to be Chad’s cousin, Yaron Lancome, checked his watch and couldn’t hold back any longer. “Ms. Quinn, we’re all in this business to make a living. Going to court won’t be in anyone’s interest. We will carefully consider your demands, and as long as they are reasonable, we will agree to them.”
Abigail’s gaze fell on his relatively gentle face as she responded nonchalantly, “Mr. Lancome, let’s have both our lawyers handle this It’s my first time sitting down formally to discuss a
matte lawsuit with someone, so it’s quite intimidating.”
Even though she said that, there was no hint of fear in her demeanor.
Yaron’s l*ps twitched, and his brows knitted tightly as he looked at Abigail. Just as he was about to
“In that case, we won’t take up any more of your
speak, Katie’s lawyer yanked his sleeve slightly
time, Ms. Quinn.”
With that, the lawyer pulled Yaron aside.
A group of over a dozen people in suits emerged from L.Moon, shocking pa*sersby, who looked at them but dared not approach.
Yaron walked to the entrance of L.Moon and turned to look at the sign hanging outside the
studio. His face darkened as he muttered, “Alana might be a woman, but she’s cunning! How dare she release a video challenging Katie openly? She definitely has a hidden agenda.”
They had initially come here today to intimidate Abigail into seeking reconciliation. However, they ended up merely sitting with her for half an hour. She sipped water and yawned, and as soon as their lawyer opened his mouth, she didn’t even bother letting out a squeak!
It made them feel pa*sive and afraid to say anything harsh or speak bluntly for fear of causing a loophole. They feared that she might catch onto something to use against them in her tweet.
With a grim expression, Yaron got into the car and rubbed his forehead. “Head back to Capitalis!”
As the car slowly started moving, Chad saw Sean in a luxury car across the street.
Their gazes met, and Yaron caught Sean slowly curling his l*ps into a mocking and meaningful smile
For a moment, his mind seemed to pause, but soon, he realized what the other party’s expression
meant.
Abigail not only had fans supporting her but also the influence behind Sean!
Cameron watched Yaron’s car drive away and turned to Sean. “It doesn’t look like he’s fared well.”
“Do you really think Mrs. Graham is as foolish as to let him bully her in her own studio?” Sean winded the car window up, releasing a sigh of relief.
He had been worried about Katie’s aggressive approach against Abigail, but now it seemed that his concern was unnecessary.
“If Katie really goes to court with L.Moon, L.Moon will still consume significant resources and energy despite its loss. After all, L.Moon is challenging a century–old enterprise.” Cameron expressed his concern for Abigail.
Litigation demanded significant resources and financial investment, and L.Moon was just starting out. It should be focusing on developing its business, as getting embroiled in a legal dispute at this point could potentially hinder future opportunities.
“Have you forgotten about Ronaldo?” Sean asked lightly.
Didn’t Abigail involve Ronaldo in this dispute to gain his support behind the scenes?
Cameron nodded. “I see. Mrs. Graham does have everything arranged.”
Sean revealed a smile as he murmured, “Let’s see how far she can go. Anyway, did you find out the purpose of Old Mrs. Quinn going to the station?”
Cameron’s expression quickly turned serious when he heard that. “Old Mrs. Quinn had two private meetings with Chad, and both times didn’t seem very pleasant. However, she has somehow maintained contact with him. It’s just strange.”
Sean’s gaze darkened when he heard Cameron’s explanation.
“How much do you know about the content of their communication?”
Cameron shook his head. “The messages she sends to Chad automatically get deleted. Chad’s phone is equipped with special spyware that erases content in real–time, and even the communication companies can’t trace it.”
Leaning back against the seat, Sean gazed ahead, deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Cameron started the car and drove slowly to avoid disturbing the man’s contemplation.
“Old Mrs. Quinn… also has secrets,” Sean murmured suddenly. He then instructed Cameron, “In the near future, I want you to keep a constant watch on Old Mrs. Quinn with two of our most reliable team members. I will not allow the slightest room for error.”
