Chapter 440 A Heartless and Selfish Family
Scarlett entered the workspace, closed the door, and looked at Abigail while saying, “Ms. Quinn, your company faced some pressure a few months ago, but the other party’s actions were just a small punishment to you. If my husband intervenes, your company won’t be so fortunate.”
Abigail frowned. “Why do I have to design a dress for her?”
“Your reputation is currently the highest in the country, and Kelly genuinely likes your designs. You can name your price, and this way, everyone benefits,” Scarlett said while raising her chin with an air of superiority. “Moreover, because you accused her of instigating Old Mrs. Graham to come and hara*s you, leading to her getting slapped by Sean’s subordinate, this slap requires compensation.”
“Why should I care about what Sean’s subordinate did?” Abigail frowned while looking annoyed.
“Rumor has it that Cameron is already working for you. So, do you think it’s related to you or not?” Scarlett pressed.
Cameron, who was outside the door, was about to enter when the approaching Analise suddenly pushed him away.
Analise forcefully opened the door and glared at Scarlett. “Who gave you the right to threaten her?!”
Scarlett looked at Analise and said with a lukewarm tone, “Your granddaughter caused her problems, and she has to face the consequences. She caused my daughter to get slapped, and now all I’m asking for is a dress as compensation. It’s the least she can do. Don’t make my daughter’s father get involved and deal with her!”
Analise watched Scarlett as she trembled with anger.
Cameron silently observed without saying a word.
Analise’s anger was understandable, given that these two people were so similar that they could pa*s as mother and daughter. However, everything Scarlett said was for an impostor’s sake.
Scarlett forced her birth daughter to do something she didn’t want to do for an impostor and even used her biological father to threaten her.
“If you dare to bully my granddaughter, I’ll fight you with my life! Get out!” Analise shouted hoarsely.
Abigail was afraid that Analise’s blood pressure would rise, so she immediately stood up and tried to comfort her. “It’s okay. Grandma. I can handle whatever they do.”
“They’re all a bunch of heartless and selfish people!” Analise continued to scold.
Cameron entered the room and shielded Analise. “It’s okay. Ms. Quinn is not just an obscure designer in Pendorf anymore. If they want to mess with her, they’ll need to see if her fans agree.”
“Cameron, chase her out!” Abigail walked over to Analise and immediately instructed Cameron
Cameron walked toward Scarlett and smiled politely. “Madam Harper, did you hear that? Ms. Quinn wants you to leave. You’ve seen my temper. I’ll use force on anyone who doesn’t listen, no matter who they are.”
Scarlett was afraid of him, so she glared at Abigail, huffed, and left.
Once she was gone, Cameron closed the door to the workspace

kay? he asked immediately.
Abigail patted Analise’s ch*st and looked at her with concern.
“I’m fine! Those b*stards wanted to bully my granddaughter, but they can’t! I want to live well and protect her!” Analise panted heavily.
Abigail smiled. “Don’t be angry, Grandma. The Pearson Family won’t dare to mess with us.”
Josh was still trying to pursue Luna, and if the Pearson Family attempted to interfere with L.Moon, it would face severe consequences.
Scarlett’s abrupt display of aggression might have stemmed from her observation of Abigail receiving an award, leading her to perceive Abigail as a valuable designer.
“I’ll take Old Mrs. Quinn out to relax. You continue with your work. Don’t let this person disrupt your plans.” Cameron suggested to Abigail with a friendly smile.
Abigail looked at Analise and nodded. “Cameron is very capable. You can go out with him and enjoy the city’s night view. You haven’t seen it before since you came to Capitalis.”
Analise knew that he probably had something to discuss with her, so she agreed with a nod.
Then, the two of them left L.Moon.
While walking on the street, Cameron spoke gently to Analise. “Don’t worry. Kelly won’t be able to keep up her act for long. Her true identity will be exposed soon!
Analise said, “I hope she won’t be exposed. I don’t want Abigail to go back to a family like the Pearsons.”
Cameron furrowed his brow. “At this time, it’s indeed not suitable for Ms. Quinn to return. There have been too many misunderstandings with the Pearson Family. If she goes back now, she might face their
scorn.”
After he said this, Analise was even more worried.
She grabbed his hand and whispered, “I know my request is very selfish, but can you please beg Sean not to let the Pearson Family target Abigail again? I just want to see her settle down and live peacefully for the rest of her life.”
“I’ll talk to Mr. Graham about it, but whether it will work out depends on his mood. You know that the two families are already in this situation… His decisions are no longer within our control, he replied helplessly.
She started to get anxious. “Can’t he agree to it?”
“If Ms. Quinn is his other half, then he would naturally protect her with all his heart. But right now, it’s not the same situation, and he has no reason to follow your wishes entirely. After all, the matter involving Kelly doesn’t just concern Ms. Quinn; it has caused significant losses for Old Mrs. Graham as well. He naturally wouldn’t be willing to let Kelly off easily,” Cameron replied while looking somewhat troubled.
