Chapter 108 Vengeful
Joan watched Sean and Kevin from a distance, her eyes revealing a glint of suspicion. She thought, While two instances could be considered coincidental, what about the third?
It was painfully clear to her that Sean cared deeply for Abigail, far more than he did for her. Joan had always believed she was the sole recipient of Sean’s affections, but now, it appeared that a mere
assistant had stolen his heart. She pursed her lips and glanced at the small wound on her finger, her
eyes filled with cold resentment.
Nina said quietly, “Don’t you think Mr. Graham cares about Miss Quinn a bit too much? Every time
there’s afternoon tea, he wants to bring her along. Even their rooms are next to each other.”
These words struck Joan where it hurt the most. She claimed to share a deep bond with Sean, but it
was evident to everyone that the man arranged to have his room next to Abigail’s. Even during
teatime, he would stay with Abigail.
Abigail had managed to steal the spotlight, rendering all of Joan’s attempts to capture his attention, including her dramatic announcement of their relationship and her previous self–harm, futile and
laughable.
Suppressing her fury, Joan smiled at Nina. “So, will you get back at her for me?”
Nina hesitated for a moment, then pledged her loyalty. “I’ll do whatever you say.”
Joan mused over her options for a moment. She said, “The bag I asked Sean to get for me just came.
It’s still sealed. Do you want it?”
Nina’s eyes greedily lit up, and she clenched her teeth before whispering, “I won’t disappoint you.”
Satisfied, Joan smiled sweetly. “I await your return, but remember, Miss Quinn is just an assistant.
We targeted the wrong person last time.”
Nina instantly grasped the implied message. Since Abigail was difficult to handle, they should shift
their focus to Luna.
After teatime was over, Luna escorted Abigail to her room. “We’re meeting Victor and Damian in the west garden tonight.”
Abigail understood her friend’s intentions. “You want to fight back, don’t you?”
“Even if I’m not, I should be prepared for anything. We can’t always be on the defensive side,” Luna
replied.
