Chapter 351 You Can Bribe Me
At that moment, Cameron tensed up when he heard Josh’s words. He wondered if Josh failed to recognize his sister and even developed feelings for her. Then, Cameron approached them on hist electric scooter. He stepped on the brakes and propped his foot on the ground as he looked at them. “Ms. Quinn, I can give you a ride home if you can’t get a cab. My scooter isn’t a bad option.”
Determined not to let Josh have any more chances to engage Abigail in conversation, Cameron knew he had to intervene. Every time Josh spoke to her, it left him feeling uncomfortable, and he couldn’t help but fear the consequences if their sibling relationship started to blur into something
more than that.
Abigail nodded at Cameron and said, “Sure. A breath of fresh air sounds good.”
Josh watched in silence as Abigail mounted Cameron’s scooter. With a simple wave, he bid her goodbye as she rode away with Cameron.
Cameron couldn’t help but shudder when he observed Josh’s actions in the rearview mirror. He fervently hoped that Josh did not harbor romantic feelings for her. After all, it would be an incredibly delicate situation if Sean ever found out.
“Ms. Quinn, it’s advisable to minimize your interactions with Josh,” he advised as they continued on the scooter. “Kelly didn’t have good intentions when she came to Pendorf. Although Josh is amiable, he still stands with her.”
Abigail smiled and replied, “I know
With that, Cameron felt a sense of relief but hesitated to bring up a pressing issue. “Josh seems to treat you differently… How do you feel about it?”
She responded nonchalantly, “Perhaps it’s because he mistook me for his sister before, and he hasn’t fully let go of that.” After all, she didn’t sense any romantic feelings from Josh.
He mumbled, “Is that so…” Given his lack of experience in romantic matters, he wasn’t sure about the nature of Josh’s feelings toward Abigail.
Suddenly, Abigail placed her hand on Cameron’s shoulder and inquired, “Are you trying to gather information about me by talking to my a*sistant?”
His b*dy stiffened, and he let out an awkward chuckle. “No way… You can ask me anything about Sean, and I’ll tell you everything.”
She swiftly retracted her hand, firmly stating, “I’m not interested.”
He couldn’t help but laugh and commented, “At least give him some dignity.”
She paid him no attention as she was fully engrossed in planning her upcoming trip abroad.

deliberately avoiding entanglement in trivial matters for now. She contemplated, Perhaps it’s time for me to make my plans.
After returning home, Abigail a*sisted Analise in the kitchen as they prepared a meal. Suddenly, she proposed, “Grandma, let’s get ready to go abroad for your treatment.”
Analise voiced her concerns firmly, “My health is fine. Why should we go abroad? I’m taking insulin regularly, and I’ve been doing well with it. You can see it from my recent medical reports.” She wasn’t enthusiastic about the idea, as she had a strong aversion to traveling abroad. Even going out of town was a ha*sle for her, and the thought of navigating a foreign country with a language barrier only made it more unappealing. After all, she still preferred to stay at home.
Abigail, however, remained resolute. “The doctor said your eye condition is still a concern, and that’s what worries me the most. Come on, let’s go together. It’s not like we are struggling financially right now.” To alleviate any financial concerns, she contemplated, I could borrow some money from Luna and pay her back once I take on more design work.
Concerned, Analise asked, “Is something bothering you, Abby? Is that why you want to go abroad in such a hurry?”
“No,” Abigail replied casually.
After hearing this, Analise resumed her work and said, “Well, I don’t want to go abroad for treatment. I’m fine with taking the insulin, just like you said.”
Abigail had already foreseen this outcome. Generational differences in mindset were at play. Older generations tended to value staying close to their roots, and given Analise’s age, she had a deep attachment to her hometown. Moreover, Theodore still resided in Quinn Village. If they were to go abroad, it would mean no one visiting him anymore. As she contemplated this, she temporarily set aside the immediate plan of going abroad.
After providing a report of the past two days’ events to Sean, Cameron fell into silence, hesitant to speak further.
“For the sake of Kelly, Josh will eventually let Abigail down… Just as Anthony did!” Sean uttered through gritted teeth.
Cameron quickly added, “But Josh’s quick reaction prevented any lasting harm to Ms. Quinn. He apologized promptly.”
Sean replied coldly, “Kelly will certainly think of something else once her plan has failed. As you stay by Abigail’s side, not only do you need to keep her safe, but also Analise’s safety. Do you understand? Old people are vulnerable, and Kelly will likely take advantage of this.”
Cameron immediately accepted his orders.

“Speaking of which, how is Vincent’s case progressing?” Sean had been swamped with work. recently and hadn’t had the chance to attend to these trivial matters.
Cameron’s reply was earnest. “It appears highly unlikely that Vincent will face any charges.”
This outcome was anticipated because many individuals were already taking responsibility for Vincent’s actions, shielding him from personal consequences.
“I see. Tell Alfie to be careful. His involvement in this matter might not sit well with Vincent, and there’s a chance Vincent has already covertly reached out to those within the Willis Family who hold grudges against Alfie.”
Sean had surmised the outcome of Vincent’s case. After an extensive investigation, the likelihood of a favorable outcome was slim. In a large family like Vincent’s, it was not easy to catch them with concrete evidence.
Following the phone call, Sean experienced a sudden longing for Abigail. However, he was aware that she would only reach out to him if he initiated contact. As he toyed with his phone, he contemplated how to start a conversation with her naturally.
