Chapter 322 Don’t Disturb Her

“Mr. Booker, I’ve never quite understood why things like this happened. I hate unnecessary troubles,

and dealing with such issues is just a waste of my time. Abigail’s tone was no longer as polite as

before. She was smiling, but there was deep helplessness and distress on her face.

Anthony suddenly felt guilty because of her words. “Little junior…”novelbin

“Mr. Booker, I shouldn’t be complaining to you, but your fiancee has indeed affected me. How do you

think I should resolve this matter?” she continued.

“It’s my responsibility to resolve it. Do you believe in me, little junior?” His voice held a hopeful

tone.

“Mr. Booker, you and your fiancee have involved me in your relationship and caused me to be unjustly

insulted. You must finish this, whether you have my trust or not. If I don’t believe in you, will that

prevent you from resolving it?” she asked with a smile.

I’m very sorry-”

s saying sorry enough? If I’d talked to you gently today, my troubles would’ve been endless. If possible,

please block all my contact information. Her tone was mild, but her words left no room for negotiation.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Quinn.” Anthony apologized once again.

“Mr. Booker, I’ll always remember your help in the past, and I hope you remember that our relationship

was mutually beneficial. I sincerely hope you can talk to your fiancee and stop bothering me. We

shouldn’t contact each other in the future. I’m busy and don’t have time to deal with unnecessary

troubles. She had no intention of making her words so resolute, but she knew that when it came to

matters of the heart, she had to be firm to put an end to the issue.

After hanging up the phone, she sighed helplessly. Her feelings for Anthony were not that deep.

especially after he introduced her to Ronaldo to help him achieve his cooperation with the Fernandez

Family. Ever since then, their friendship was no longer pure.

Their already strained friendship had turned into the current situation after Lacey’s humiliation. They

could not even face each other anymore.

Abigail blocked all of Anthony’s contact information and purchased a ticket to return to Pendorf. Tve

already returned. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. When you have the time, come

to Pendorf as my guest, and I’ll be your tour guide. After sending this message, she put on her eye

mask and leaned back to sleep on the plane.

When she turned on her phone upon returning to Pendorf, she received many messages from

Ronaldo.

You’re not going to resolve my cousin’s matter anymore?’

‘You’re leaving! You didn’t even let me see you off. You’re ungrateful!”

‘Well, then. Have a safe journey.”

She read the messages, put her phone away, and exited the airport.

If Anthony cherished their past relationship, he should resolve the trouble caused by Lacey

himself.

In a distant place, Anthony considered blocking Abigail’s contact information several times, but in the

end, he gave up. He was well aware that even if he did not block her, she would do the same to him.

After a long contemplation, he called Lacey. Once the call connected, he heard her crying and saying,

“Why? Are you gonna scold me like that b*tch did?”

He clenched the phone so hard that his veins bulged. After a moment of silence, he clarified, “I

wanted to cooperate with the Fer Family, but I don’t necessarily have to do it with your

family. Lacey, we Bookers are also a family of scholars, and it’s difficult for me to marry someone with

your level of manners. Do you understand what I mean?”

“What do you mean?!” Her voice rose a few octaves.

“What I mean is that I need to reconsider our marriage. His tone was filled with helplessness.

“Anthony, are you doing this because of Abigail-

“If I were, I would’ve been with her long ago. Do you think you’ll have the chance to use these

underhanded tactics behind my back?” His words carried the indulgence he had for Lacey,

She choked and did not say anything.

“Lacey, a good relationship between a man and a woman doesn’t necessarily lead to romance. In the

world of business, interests take precedence over emotions. The fact that you and I met is also

because I’m someone who pursues interests. Do you understand?” Anthony’s tone was candid and

unconcerned, as if he were discussing a very ordinary matter.

He used to pretend in front of Abigail due to his fondness for her during their university days, but with

Lacey, he could not be bothered to do so. It was pointless.

Til talk to your parents about reconsidering our marriage,” he said and was about to hang up the

phone.

“Anthony… I was wrong. I’ll apologize to her. I apologize. Please don’t do this…” Lacey almost

immediately capitulated.

He remained silent.

“I know I was wrong…” she said, crying without care.

“If only you had maintained the way you were when I first met you, that would’ve been so much better.

Why did you have to do those things?” Anthony’s voice was filled with disappointment.

Lacey had successfully destroyed the superficial friendship between him and Abigail. Still, he did not

want to lose her, no matter what.

“I know I was wrong. I’ll apologize to her-”

“No need. She’s extremely hostile to us now. Please don’t bother her anymore.” He interrupted her.

Though his tone was gentle, his face was expressionless.
