Chapter 266 Every Success Comes With a Great Challenge

Abigail couldn’t refuse the professor’s request since she was now a public figure. She needed to be

cautious with her words and actions. Moreover, she also had to act modestly in the professor’s

presence and at the school.

“When is the reunion? I need to check my schedule,” Abigail asked as she looked at Anthony.

“It’s on Tuesday. It’s a working day, but it will be held after 6.00PM. I did tell the professor that you’re

very busy, and she said a two–hour gathering wouldn’t take much of your time,” Anthony said gently.

He was still a considerate person, like how Abigail knew.

Abigail nodded and replied, “Okay. Please send me the hotel address where the reunion will be held.”

“Sure Anthony stood up. Then, he looked at Abigail hesitantly, seemingly as if he had something

to say.

However, Abigail pretended not to see it. At this moment, she was getting fed up. Whether it Eric or

Anthony, she felt it was hard to communicate with them.

“Send my regards to the professor. It’s getting late, and I still have some work to get done. Please

excuse me. Oh, by the way, thank you for introducing me to Mr. Fernandez. He has some excellent

quality pearls, and I’m quite satisfied with them,” Abigail said as she stood up, wearing a fake smile.

Anthony froze momentarily but maintained his usual elegant demeanor. “I’m glad you like them.”

When he left Abigail’s office, his usual gentle composure faded away. He took a deep breath and left.

On the other hand, Abigail and her assistant went to the warehouse.

The fabric and accessories they used for the birthday dress they made for Eric’s grandmother were

now bought back. These materials were expensive, and they needed to sell them out. Thus, the only

thing they could do was redesign it. Once it turned into a finished product, the Davidsons would surely

cause trouble again.

“Double–check it, especially the length of the fabric and the quantity of the gold thread and other

materials. I need precise numbers,” Abigail stated after inspecting the materials. Then, she turned

around and left.

The length of the fabric determined the style she could design, and the amount of gold thread dictated

the patterns she could embroider. Knowing the gold thread’s exact quantity would allow her to make

adjustments when drawing the design. She wouldn’t give away the design to anyone that the

Davidsons didn’t want. After all, this was an insult to herself and her clients. She would treat it as a

discarded draftls

Abigail felt relaxed after giving the two men who had annoyed her the cold shoulder. Initially, she

thought this was over. However, during dinner, while she was scrolling through her Instagram feed, she

noticed someone had mentioned her. A user named ‘Davidsons Girl‘ had tagged her, mentioning her

name as Alana, and posted a post questioning her.

‘As an internationally renowned designer, I was promised that you would design a dress for my

grandmother on her birthday. However, because of a few amateur family members, you canceled our

order and even blacklisted our entire family. Is this reasonable? My grandmother is waiting. for her

dress and genuinely loves your designs. Your actions have hurt her feelings. Is it fair for your studio to

blacklist a client without any investigation? Or do you guys want to take away the 20% deposit? Are

you being arrogant because you’ve gained international recognition? My cousin Eric Davidson has

treated you well. Before he collaborated with Lexie Chambers, he had replaced the previous designer

just to have you make the dress for my grandmother, gaining benefits for L.Moon. Yet, you now have

blacklisted out the entire Davidson Family. Don’t you think you’re being harsh on Eric? After all, he has

always supported you, even scolding the others when they went too far. Yet, this is what you give him

in return?‘

This post had gained much attention since it mentioned Eric’s name. Eric’s name had become a

trending topic on Instagram, so the person’s post attracted various marketing accounts. After many

shares, it had climbed to the end of the trending list.

However, just as Abigail clicked on the post, it had disappeared. The webpage showed that the post

didn’t exist and had been deleted by the author.

At that moment, Abigail looked at the screen with a baffled expression. Like any other netizen, she

didn’t understand what happened. Then, as she aimlessly browsed Instagram for about ten minutes,

she suddenly stumbled upon an Instagram post by Sean. Since she followed Sean’s account, she

would get notice whenever Sean posted anything.

Tagging Davidson Girl, he wrote, ‘Is the Davidson Family bullying Alana because she has no one

backing her up? How dare you question her when it was your family members who caused trouble for

her? If you can’t manage your own people, don’t be so impulsive about it. If your family enjoys toying

with others, please find a designer who is willing to be toyed with. As a high- status family, don’t harass

a newly established studio. Would it take me to expose the real motives behind this incident for you to

stop bothering her? Keep some dignity for yourself.

When Abigail read Sean’s post, she realized the post earlier was probably deleted because Sean had

taken action.

However, she wondered how he found out about it so quickly.

Abigail closed the app and wanted to ask Sean about it. However, she didn’t know how to do it. She

knew this situation with the Davidsons canceling their order was more complex than it seemed. It could

have been a trap initially, intending to lure her into it. This time, Sean intervened promptly and saved

her from much trouble. She knew that if he hadn’t intervened, she might have fallen into many more

traps set by the Davidsons. She would be mentally exhausted once she was done repeatedly clarifying

the situation.
