Chapter 82 Being Helpless
Abigail touched the camera bag that she carried with her and lowered her gaze. “What if I am? Since you were inspecting from the shadows, you should’ve seen that it all started with Joan.”
Sean silently observed Abigail.
She didn’t want to talk about this matter. Many crazy things had occurred within the production team, and she found it very surreal. “Even if it’s because of Joan, she’s not someone that Victor
would offend,” he said calmly.
Her lips curled upward as she sneered. “If you had said from the beginning that this was Joan’s own.
show, I believe everyone would’ve praised her, and I wouldn’t have participated with Miss Smith
either.”
Sean stood in front of Abigail, raising his hand to pinch her chin. “Do you understand that you’re opposing me for Victor’s sake?”
Abigail stared into his eyes. “How could I dare to oppose you? After all, the production team was
established for the purpose of launching Joan’s career. My argument with her today was indeed my
mistake, dragging someone else into it.”
“Abigail, are you insinuating that I’m suppressing all of you for Joan’s sake?” He tightened his grip a
bit.
She couldn’t be bothered to respond to those words. It was a clear fact, but he feigned
righteousness. However, now that she thought about how Victor helped her twice, Abigail softened
her attitude. “I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to ask, what do I have to do for you to let Victor off
the h ook?”
Sean’s displeasure flicked in his eyes. “If you hadn’t brought this up tonight, I wouldn’t have gone
after him, but I’ve decided to let him leave tomorrow
“He stood up to refute Nina for our sake, and the incident about four in the morning is the truth. Is
that reasonable if you don’t appreciate his efforts and want to kick him out of the production team?
Is this production team solely under your control?” Abigail became somewhat angry.
Sean’s voice turned cold. “Do you think I can’t resolve the issue without him speaking up? Moreover, you’ve shifted all the blame onto me and pretended not to know anything. Isn’t that what you’ve done?”
Abigail nodded slightly. “True. Others can’t make mistakes, but you can have the production team edit it out when you do.”
At this, his eyes darkened. “Is a male model worth your anger, Abigail? The root cause of this situation is clearly that you got too close to him, yet you’re bringing up all sorts of irrelevant
things.”
She was momentarily stunned.
He stared at her coldly. “Even though we have a secret marriage, does that give you the right to openly be with another man in the production team to boost L.Moon’s popularity?”
“He helped me because he saw my injured leg,” Abigail replied coldly. “How is that being openly with another man? Don’t be so absurd.”
She couldn’t help but point out that he had his own unclear entanglements with Joan, so why didn’t he control himself? He seemed so agitated, only because someone had shown her a little kindness.
“Do you really think it’s not about this? Do you know what he’s thinking? Anyone who can make it in this industry isn’t that innocent. Do you truly believe he offended Joan for you?” Sean’s words
were cold and mocking.
“It’s better to be misunderstood than you not explaining anything. Did I ask you to stay in my room? You caused me a lot of trouble and made me an outcast, and now you’re blaming me?”
Abigail found Sean’s behavior inexplicable.
In reality, when it came to right or wrong, Sean’s insistence on having a relationship with her within the production team was the root cause of the entire issue.
“Is there a problem for me to be in my wife’s room?” Sean retorted.
Abigail forced herself to remain calm. “There’s no problem. I don’t want to argue
with you. I still have to return and report for duty. As for Victor, I’ll handle it with discretion and also hope that you can give him a chance.”
Sean pursed his lips in silence.
She looked into his eyes and continued, “This da mn situation arose because of our relationship within the production team. Since he helped me, I don’t want to drag him into this. Sean Graham, we’re still considered a couple. Can’t you even compromise that bit?”
He reached out and grasped her waist. “Just this once. Pay attention to your words and actions. You shouldn’t allow it even if he tries to get close to you.”
“I understand.” Abigail retreated and avoided his hand as her attitude turned cold. “I’ll leave now. Miss Smith might become angry if I’m late.”
An oppressive feeling lingered in Sean’s heart. Even though Abigail had compromised in this
matter, he wasn’t uplifted either. Her indifference made him believe that her apology wasn’t genuine, but she only did it out of her obligation to Victor, not wanting him to be kicked out of the
production team,
Enduring the pain in her leg, Abigail entered the elevator and looked at her reflection in the mirrored walls for a while. Then, she couldn’t help but give a bitter, cold smile.
