Chapter 331 Don’t Force Her
Why provoke Abigail when they could maintain their current peaceful coexistence?
“Josh, you saved her grandmother’s life. I’m asking you now-can you help fulfill Kelly’s wish?” Scarlett’s expression
carried a hint of annoyance.
He also looked at her with a slightly disgruntled expression. “I can’t do that. Who Abigail decides to design for is her
choice. We can’t morally pressure her into doing something.”
“I know that Abigail still holds a grudge against our family because of Vincent’s actions, but if you take Kelly to
Pendorf and explain things to Abigail properly, it should be enough. You don’t know how much Kelly loves her
designs. Moreover, this was just a misunderstanding, and if they could clear it up, they could become great
friends,” she continued to persuade Josh.

get along with Kelly.
“Why don’t you call and ask her first? If she doesn’t want to, you can say so.” Her tone softened.
“Alright, I’ll call.” He finally gave in and decided to try asking her first. He thought that if his mother made an offer,
it would likely be an attractive one that Abigail might accept.
With that in mind, Josh, feeling the pressure of his mother’s gaze, placed a call to Abigail. When the call was
answered, he spoke gently, “Is it too late to call? Did I disturb you?”
“It’s okay,” she replied in her usual reserved tone.
“My mom has talked to you before, and it’s about Kelly wanting a dress for an event. She likes your designs-”
Before he could finish, she coldly interrupted him, Mr. Pearson, I don’t have the time. I’ll be busy working on the
gowns and have no time to design. There are so many renowned designers in the country and abroad; I’m sure the
Pearson Family can hire someone else. Why do you have to bother me?”
Josh had expected this would be the result, so he awkwardly touched his nose. However, before he could say
anything, his phone
as taken away by his mother.
“It’s Josh and Kelly’s mother speaking. Ms. Quinn, the misunderstanding between Kelly and you is due to Josh’s
uncle; Kelly is also a victim. If you mind, she’s willing to apologize to you. Our family is also willing to double your
previous offer.” Scarlett genuinely wanted to fulfill Kelly’s wish.
Seeing Kelly look so disappointed tugged at her heart. She believed that the Pearson Family could get anything they
wanted. Since they were just talking about a dress, she was sure that Abigail would agree, as long as they showed
enough sincerity.

After a brief pause, Abigail replied, “I don’t have the time. I can’t split myself in half, can I?”
“Ms. Quinn, you and your grandmother do owe Josh. Are you going to embarrass us like this?” Scarlett’s voice
turned colder, clearly applying pressure.
“If you put it that way, how have the Pearson Family treated me behind my back?” Abigail questioned indifferently.
“Regarding Vincent’s actions, we’re also deeply upset. However, Kelly and us are innocent victims. as well. He
implicated us and didn’t protect him from the way Sean is treating him now, did we? Shouldn’t granting your
request be enough to show our respect?” Scarlett argued.
Josh took his phone back, frowned at her, and said to Abigail, “I’m sorry, my mother is a bit worked up. Please don’t
be upset.”
Abigail took a deep breath. “Mr. Pearson, I have a lot of orders to complete, and I hope your family won’t add to my
workload. If you want me to repay a favor, ask for something else. I promise I will do it if it’s within my ability. But
please don’t insist on the dress design. I’ve always hated it when people force me.”
“I’ll talk to them about it,” Josh replied and promptly ended the call. He knew that hanging up abruptly might seem
impolite to her, but he was more concerned about Scarlett taking the phone and possibly offending Abigail.
