Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Decided Winner
Everyone’s gazes landed on Victor, who glanced at Abigail and Joan before speaking with a puzzled expression, “If it’s about how Mr. Graham helped Abigail into her room last night, I was there too.”
“At what time did you see Mr. Graham help her into her room?” asked Nina immediately.
He looked at her with a shrug. “Isn’t it weirder for you to tweet at 4.00AM? Are you asking me the time on purpose?”
She let out a snort. “Are you saying I tweeted at 4.00AM just to defame her?”
Victor put on a nonchalant expression. “I wouldn’t know. People usually sleep at that time. Even Mr. Graham would be sleeping, too. Besides, she sprained her ankle when she went to the garden yesterday and bumped into Mr. Graham in the elevator on the way back. Mr. Graham was kind enough to help her, but you guys are insinuating they did something fishy.”
Nina was speechless by his retort and wanted so badly to let the cat out of the bag. She could not tell them that she saw Sean coming out from Abigail’s room at 4.00AM as she might be removed from the show if he wanted to pursue the incident.
Besides, she did not take a picture last night. So, she had no proof. What happens if he doesn’t
admit it?
Even if he did, the fact was that Sean entered Abigail’s room. Hence, it would seem like he was the
one who initiated this, which would only make the netizens think that there was something
between them.
Victor’s words tilted the scale as the netizens started to despise Nina.
‘And they were saying we were afraid of shipping the wrong people. If Sean liked Joan, he would’ve
avoided causing any misunderstanding. Since Victor was helping Abigail to her room already, why
did he interfere? He must have something for her!’
‘Exactly. Nina is incompetent, and it didn’t stop her from tweeting at 4.00AM. What a b*tch. This is the same tactic with Joan seeing the marks. She sure likes to smear people with that mouth of hers.
‘The drama in this show revolving around Sean is too much. If I didn’t know, I thought this design
show was a dating show. I hope the crew doesn’t put the cart before the horse.”
After breakfast, Abigail secretly thanked Victor.
“Don’t mention it. If I didn’t bump into you, I wouldn’t have known the truth and spoken up.” He
was gracious.
Then, she nodded as she watched him enter the elevator. After everyone left, Luna wrapped an arm around her shoulder and whispered, “Why didn’t you call me when you sprained your ankle last
night?”
“It was late. I didn’t want to cause trouble,” Abigail answered calmly.
Luna looked at her side profile and suddenly went near her. “So, did Sean stay in your room until
morning?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t see the time.” Abigail was irritated. Something bad would happen whenever she was faced with Sean. She could not believe that people still saw him at 4.00AM!
“If other designers witnessed it, they would inherently question the fairness of the competition. Prepare for us to be targeted.” Luna patted her shoulder.
Everyone was going to make their pattern in the afternoon, so Abigail went to the store to select some tools but saw Nina and Joan chatting inside.
“Here for some stuff?” Joan suddenly asked.
Abigail was picking out scissors and cardboard when she heard Joan’s question. She hummed in
acknowledgment as an answer.
“I saw it with my own eyes. Sean came out from your room at 4.00AM. Nobody would believe there wasn’t any crafty thing going on. If you told us you were the decided winner, we wouldn’t need to put on this show,” Nina taunted her directly when she saw that other designers were present.
However, Abigail simply glanced up coldly at her. “Alana never needed to be the decided winner. She’s joined many huge design competitions and created them in the studio. Are you saying she bribed her way through those competitions to be the winner?”
“Those competitions can’t compare to this. I’ll admit that Alana’s competent. However, what’s the connection to her greed for the prize this time?” Nina sneered aggressively.
“Either you provide evidence or don’t talk nonsense. Alana can withdraw from the competition but will not tolerate your slander!” Abigail stated seriously. Nina’s acting all haughty because we’re being
streamed live!
‘I underestimated you, Abigail. I can’t believe you’re the one who seduced Sean!” Joan pipped up while glaring at her as if she wanted to burn her alive.
