Chapter 272 Awkward

As soon as Abigail leaned back against the couch, she pursed her l*ps. “I bought a fine batch of Marim

ora pearls from Mr. Fernandez. Interestingly, a jeweler told me today that there is a wealthy young lady

from Capitalis who wishes to acquire this particular batch of pearls to craft into jewelry for her upcoming

family reunion banquet. Coincidentally, Kelly commissioned me to make her a dress for her family reun

ion banquet. I strongly suspect that they are the same person.”

Sean looked at her with a cold and stern expression. “You never mentioned your Marimora pearl purch

ase, but she somehow managed to find out. It seems that she’s quite resourceful.”

“She even transferred 657 thousand to us! I found the number suspicious at the time. She’s really infuri

ating!” Luna was almost out of breath as she huffed angrily.

“She holds such deep malice against Ms. Quinn, but did Ms. Quinn do anything to wrong her? She’s do

ne so many disgusting things openly and in secret!” Kevin’s fists tightened.

Abigail thought about it. Kelly’s cunningness lay in how

she managed to disgust them from various angles. When they finally understood her words, actions, an

d intentions, they suddenly felt utterly humiliated.

“It does feel like swallowing a bitter pill,” Abigail commented.

However, Kelly wasn’t merely after the Marimora pearls. She could easily ask the Pearsons to buy the

m for her.

After Abigail spoke with Ronaldo, she realized that Kelly’s previous tactics to disgust her were merely a

byproduct of her ultimate goal.

She definitely had hidden intentions.

“Since this batch of Marimora pearls belongs to you, it’s yours. Who does Kelly think she is?” Sean gla

nced at Abigail with a cold gaze.

Kelly had the resources to obtain the Marimora pearls, yet she insisted on taking them from Abigail. Ob

viously, she was using the Pearsons as leverage to trample on Abigail.

“If she really has connections with those people from the Davidsons who were after me, I don’t think I’ll

let her go!” Kevin snickered through gritted teeth, a sinister smile plastered on his face.

“I’m meeting you guys because I want you to watch out for her. Each of us deals with one threat. Mr. St

ewart, you take care of the Davidsons. Mr. Graham, you deal with your affair with the Palmers, and I wil

l personally take care of Kelly!” Abigail uttered those aggressive words with an icy expression.

Sean couldn’t help but glance at her. ‘Do you already have a plan?”

“I don’t know about your dealings with the Palmers, but I hope you can handle it on your own. My probl

ems have caused you a lot of trouble, and I don’t want you to get involved in more trouble because of

me,” Abigail commented with a sharp look in her eyes.

Sean nodded. A glimmer of hope had just risen in his heart, only to be shattered into disappointment by

her words.

She was sitting here today because they had encountered a common enemy, and that enemy had mad

e her a target, endangering everyone who had secretly helped her.

Abigail merely didn’t want to carry more guilt.

Thankfully, the wine was served at the right time.

Luna raised her whiskey gla*s and angrily exclaimed, “Let’s unite against our common enemies and def

eat the nasty people hiding in the shadows!”

Abigail followed suit, raising her gla*s.

They only drank for an hour.

After getting a little tipsy, Abigail leaned toward the teary–

eyed Luna and rea*sured her, “Don’t worry. We’ll find Micah. I’ve teamed up with Mr.

Fernandez… and he said he’ll take Micah down no matter what it takes!”

Hugging Abigail, Luna lamented, “We’ve been through so much trouble, all because of Eric’s confessio

n to you. Kelly must be jealous of you and Eric, thinking you stole her fiance. That’s why she’s treating

us like this!”

Sean listened silently, gripping his wine gla*s tightly throughout. It turned out

that before seeking him out, Abigail had prioritized working with Ronaldo. For the matters involving Kell

y and her studio, she and Ronaldo had a shared plan.

After Sean instructed Cameron to send Abigail and Luna home, he continued drinking with Kevin.

“Seems like Abigail is still awkward around us,” Kevin commented purposely while drinking.

Raising

his wine gla*s, Sean gazed into the blue liquid. His pupils reflected a bewitching color. “Kelly didn’t hesit

ate to buy off her studio’s designers, steal her designs, and then snatch the Marimora pearls that belon

ged to her. She will eventually get what she deserves!”

Looking at the bewitching glint in his eyes, Kevin shuddered. “Are you… planning to deal with Kelly?

Sean swirled his wine gla*s and replied cryptically, “How dare someone who came out of nowhere chall

enge me? I think she’s asking for trouble,”

Kevin wrinkled his nose and uttered, I can’t believe she threatened you with the Palmers‘ affair_”

Before he could finish his sentence, Sean’s phone rang. It was a call from Xavien, who had just been di

scharged yesterday.

Sean answered the call. “What’s the matter?” he asked, finishing his drink.

Xavien immediately reported, “Something is going on over at Joan’s end.”

Upon hearing this, Sean stood up abruptly. I’m coming over now.”

With that, he hung up.

“Are you leaving?” Kevin raised his head.

Sean grabbed him by the collar and said, “You’re coming with me. The online rumors about

you haven’t died down yet, so keep a low profile.”

“Uh, okay,” Kevin replied as he was dragged outside.

Sean knew Kevin’s tendency to accidentally reveal personal information when he was drunk.

Since Kevin had gotten involved in a scandal to help Abigail deal with the Davidsons, Sean couldn’t lea

ve him alone in case something happened.
