Chapter 368 Facing the Darkness.
Sean stopped him by saying, “They brought this upon themselves. What are you going to do?”
Kevin looked at him and asked with a smile, “Are you sure about this?”
Sean darted an impassive glance at him before letting go of his sleeve.
“Alright, then. I’ll check it out first,” Kevin commented as he followed Sean.
Meanwhile, Eric was surrounded by several investors. Even Tristan Stuart, the show’s director, was annoyed. “The show hasn’t even started, and the two of you are already causing trouble,” he grumbled. “Alana, your being a no-show has already upset everyone, but instead of drinking with everyone to apologize, you actually spilled Mr. Larson’s drink, huh?”
“It was my doing. Why are you blaming it on her? Eric asked with a cold expression.
The amusement on Tristan’s shrewd face grew. “Eric, your family doesn’t allow you to offend so many people like this to stick up for someone.”
Just as Eric was about to make a retort, Abigail suddenly asked, “Mr. Stuart, are you suggesting that I need to apologize to everyone with a drink for each person?”
“Apologizing with a drink would have sufficed earlier, but not now,” Tristan replied slowly.
Abigail’s expression was cold as she asked with a sardonic smile, “Well then, what should I do
now?”
“We booked the hotel and the meals in advance last time, but the production team’s budget was wasted because you failed to turn up. The appearance fees for these celebrities are all paid by these big shots. I know your studio is
Small and can’t afford the money, so how about this? You stay behind after dinner, and I’ll take time talking to you about it,” Tristan offered, laughing while holding his drink.
At this point, everyone understood these people’s intentions.
It was often said that the entertainment industry was filled with immoral behavior, but this was the first time Abigail had ever been confronted with something so disgusting.
Unable to stand it any longer, Eric snatched Tristan’s drink from him and splashed it onto his face. “Do you still have respect for the law?” he growled.
Tristan’s expression was gloomy as he produced a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped. the liquor off his face. Then, he gritted out through clenched teeth, “If you insist on sticking up for Alana, then I can do nothing about it. What are you guys waiting for? Call for security!”
Suddenly, Abigail said, “Mr. Stuart, I’ve recorded everything you said.”

Everyone fell silent at her words.
She looked at Tristan with contempt and continued. “Are you all considering this evening’s party your personal playground? Pray tell, which of you here wants to sleep with me?”
No one uttered a word.
However, Tristan ordered, “What are you guys waiting here for? Find the recording she made!”
Almost immediately, the hotel’s staff surrounded Abigail and Eric. As one of the staff members grabbed Abigail’s hands and held them behind her back, she looked up at Tristan coldly, saying. “Do you really think the recorded material wasn’t uploaded in real time? Even if you destroy the recording I have on hand, there are still copies of it in the cloud. As long as I don’t disclose which cloud service I used, you’ll never find them!”
