Chapter 441 Pressure From the Pearson Family
At that, Analise realized she might have been demanding too much. She let go of Cameron’s hand and looked dejected. “Please do your best, then. I don’t want Abigail to suffer.”
He looked at her, and after a while, he asked, “You seem to harbor some resentment toward Madam Harper. Is it related to Ms. Quinn’s disappearance?”
She looked around to ensure no one was listening, then spoke in a low voice, “It might not be related to her, but it’s definitely related to her twin sister. I feel it’s the responsibility of the entire Pearson Family for what happened to Abigail, and they can’t escape that.”
“You’re right.” He immediately agreed. “But do you know exactly how Ms. Quinn went missing?”
She fell silent at his question.
Cameron did not press for details but opted instead to console Analise. “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. Let me take you for a walk.”
“Abigail didn’t go missing. She was thrown into the sea and suffered a head injury. Now, she can’t remember her biological parents.” Analise walked slowly and began recounting the past to him.
He looked at her with surprise. “So, it was done by Mr. Pearson’s second wife?”
“Yes. I thought she was her birth mother because they looked so much alike, but Mr. Pearson’s first wife also has a twin sister. It doesn’t matter now; Abigail has me doting on her, and her grandfather loves her very much.” She sighed.
Her words made Cameron feel a deep sense of appreciation. Many parents could not treat their biological children as kindly as Analise and Theodore treated Abigail, let alone an adopted girl.
“Ms. Quinn is truly fortunate to have met all of you,” he whispered with a smile.
“We two old folks don’t have any children. Her arrival is our blessing.” Analise’s voice carried an unprecedented softness. “I only hope I can live a little longer to spend more time with her.”
He patted her shoulder. “You will.”
The streets of Capitalis were bustling as it was not long after the New Year.
Cameron and Analise returned at nearly 10.00PM. Upon seeing that Abigail was still working in the workspace, he could not help but murmur, “She’s working so hard.”
In the foliowing days, he had a close-up view of her work routine.
She would never leave the office before 11.00PM. Even on Groundhog Day, she remained hunkered down in her workspace, busy with her work.
“She’s working very hard. From the time she returned until now, she’s been busy working late into the night in just half a month,” Cameron said as he prepared a gla*s of milk for Abigail, all while discreetly making a phone call to Sean.
At that stage, Sean could only get some information about her from Cameron. “You don’t know how to persuade her? You’re with her, but you can’t do anything? His voice conveyed his unhappiness,
“I can’t persuade her he doesn’t listen to me at all I have to go deliver the mill now, Cameron said as he

was about to hang up the phone.
His words made Sean incredibly jealous. “Go ahead and deliver the milk. Why do you need to tell me?!” With that, he hung up the phone.
Cameron knew he was jealous. He put the gla*s of milk by Abigail’s side and reminded her, “Drink this before continuing.”
She looked at the ivory gla*s and thanked him. “Thank you.”
He smiled carefreely. “You’re my boss; I should do this. By the way, why are you in such a rush? Why can’t you do it slowly?”
“Fairy Meadow is having a new product launch in early March, and it’s crucial for the brand,” she said. before sipping the milk.
He nodded. “I see why you’re in a hurry. Keep working, then. I won’t disturb you.”
Fairy Meadow’s new product launch this year would determine whether the brand could make a comeback.
Early the next morning, Cameron was intercepted by Sean when he came out of the hotel. He handed Cameron a box. “This is a ma*sager I bought. It’s perfect for someone like her who sits for long hours.
“All right. I’ll say I bought it.” Cameron deliberately teased him.
Sean stared at him coldly. “Say whatever you want.”
Cameron chuckled. How is he not angry about this?
Sean left after delivering the item.
He watched Sean’s back for a while and could not help but murmur, “Both of them have changed quite a bit. It made sense when he thought about it. After their divorce and the many events that followed, Sean slowly learned how to truly love someone with all his heart.
Cameron, holding the ma*sager, prepared to enter the office when he overheard Abigail and Luna talking inside. “Scarlett came to see me last night. I knew something would happen. Do you think Fairy Meadow’s tax is reliable?” Abigail whispered to Luna.
“Howard said it’s uncertain, but the people at Fairy Meadow received info saying that as long as they end their partnership with us, the tax issue will be resolved Luna replied with a touch of coldness in her voice.
“They love these methods, don’t they? Now, we’ve involved Fairy Meadow. I hope it didn’t anger Howard” Abigail was still considerate of the relationship between Luna and him. Although they had not known each other for long, it was clear that they had developed feelings for each other.
She did not want her actions to harm her friend’s relationship.
