Chapter 488 Manage Your Own Man
Abigail seemed to be having a cheerful conversation with the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology, and
Sean couldnât help but feel a twinge of jealousy in his heart. Still, he found it intriguing that Abigail was
attending such a tech conference.
While the likes of them attended computer technology conferences due to the connection between their
industries and technology, what was Abigailâs motive?
Abigail found her seat after having a good chat with the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology.
The conference had yet to begin. So, Sean used the opportunity to switch seats in order to sit beside
Abigail.
Just as he was about to strike up a conversation with her, Kelly showed up.
It seemed like Kelly had searched for quite a while before finding Sean. When she noticed that Sean
was seated next to Abigail, she balled her hands into fists. Nevertheless, she still approached them
with a smile and asked Abigail, âCould you give up your seat for me? My fiancé is sitting next to you.â
Abigail glanced at her, a smirk playing on her l*ps. âAnd why should I care?â
Kellyâs words had attracted quite a bit of attention. As she had been brought into high-profile gatherings
by the Pearsons, many people here knew her.
Normally, if anyone else had been asked this, they would willingly give up their seat. Unfortunately,
Luna from L. Moon was more than just a close collaborator to Abigail-they were best friends. She had
resigned from L. Moon because of Kellyâs privacy breach. Abigail was sure to harbor resentment.
So, Kelly was only asking for trouble by making such a request from Abigail.
Kelly felt extremely awkward. She looked at Abigail and said, âI remember my fianceâs position here is
quite good. After all, heâs a supporter of this conference. So, why are you sitting next to him?â
She questioned Abigail with the air of a rightful wife as if Abigail had deliberately chosen to
sit next to Sean.
Sean was sitting beside them. He knew he should have intervened immediately, but he wanted to
witness Abigailâs fighting spirit.
âYou have the guts to ask me, but why donât you have the guts to ask him why heâs sitting with me?â
Abigail coldly retorted with a raised eyebrow.

People around them were quietly enjoying the spectacle. In fact, some of the younger ones were
discreetly recording the scene on their phones.
Kelly was furious, but she still wore a gentle smile on her face. âMy fiancé is outstanding, so who knows
how many people are eyeing to be with him.â
Abigail thought to herself that Kelly sure had thick skin.
While Kelly and Sean hadnât done anything, Kelly was the one who was always eyeing him.
âThen, by all means, do manage your own man at your own discretion. However, I do have one simple
request: donât bother strangers while youâre at it,â Abigail said before turning her
gaze away.
Only now did Sean calmly speak up, âWe switched seats to catch up. Sit wherever you like. You and I
are in an arranged marriage, not a romantic relationship.â
His manner of speech was rather harsh. It was clear he wasnât giving Kelly any respect at all.
Kelly was seething with anger, but she still walked to Seanâs other side and asked to switch. seats. Her
initial seat was more toward the front. So, the person readily agreed.
She felt a sense of satisfaction as she sat beside Sean. Then, she deliberately held Seanâs arm and
said, âI heard the biggest breakthrough this time is in autonomous driving. Iâm quite. interested. Having
a feature for automated parking would solve a lot of peopleâs parking. problems.â
Sean simply responded with a noncommittal hum.
He wasnât in the mood for chit-chat, and Kelly didnât want to push it. She could butter him. up in private,
but not in public.
Soon, the tech exchange began.
Al was the most widely discussed topic, followed by the projects Sean had invested in. Autonomous
driving and automated parking had made further breakthroughs, reaching unprecedented levels of
safety.
Next up was the intelligent ecosystem.
When it came to Leap Gaming Technologyâs turn, their demonstration of lifelike virtual fabric on the
computer screen seemed rather pointless in comparison.
Most people were leaning toward technology that improved daily life. Sean seemed to be the only one
still working in the gaming industry.
In fact, this breakthrough in the gaming industry was considered a lead, but it turned out to
be of little use in everyday life. The technical director of Leap Gaming Technology kept his explanation
brief before stepping down from the stage.
Abigail soon received a message from the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology.
He wanted her to switch seats with their technical director and have a chat.
Abigail was more than willing. She genuinely believed Leap Gaming Technologyâs technology was a
significant breakthrough and could be beneficial to her aspirations.
So, she navigated through the dim lighting, arrived beside the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology, and
whispered, âAll these exchanges are for the convenience of the public. It seems like your company
didnât gain much advantage from this.â
This tech exchange also had a follow-up purpose: attracting investment. If Leap Gaming Technologyâs
technology didnât show an edge, who would bother investing in it?
The CEO of Leap Gaming Technology sighed wearily as he responded, âI thought it would be a
breakthrough, but it seems it didnât have much of an impact. Maybe we picked the wrong event to
participate in?â
âIn todayâs rapidly advancing tech landscape, itâs crucial that innovations prioritize convenience for
everyday life. Didnât I mention to you that I have an idea?â Abigail whispered.
The lighting was too dim, and Sean couldnât determine what was happening on Abigailâs end.
Regardless, there was no denying he was starting to feel a bit bored.
Kelly, who was standing beside him, murmured, âThis time, Leap Gaming Technology didnât really have
any standout features. But then again, I guess those who arenât going to amount to anything in life
would bother playing games.â
Sean paid her no mind.
âBy the way, Miss Quinnâs design talent is so exceptional. Sheâs made quite a profit designing clothes
for celebrities. Wouldnât it be a step down for her to design game interfaces?â Kelly continued, sharing
her perspective.
