Chapter 82
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 82 Being Helpless Abigail touched the camera bag that she carried with her and lowered her gaze. âWhat if I am? Since you were inspecting from the shadows, you shouldâve seen that it all started with Joan.â
Sean silently observed Abigail.
She didnât want to talk about this matter. Many crazy things had occurred within the production team, and she found it very surreal. âEven if itâs because of Joan, sheâs not someone that Victor would offend,â he said calmly.
Her lips curled upward as she sneered. âIf you had said from the beginning that this was Joanâs own.
show, I believe everyone wouldâve praised her, and I wouldnât have participated with Miss Smith either.â
Sean stood in front of Abigail, raising his hand to pinch her chin. âDo you understand that youâre opposing me for Victorâs sake?â
Abigail stared into his eyes. âHow could I dare to oppose you? After all, the production team was established for the purpose of launching Joanâs career. My argument with her today was indeed my mistake, dragging someone else into it.â
âAbigail, are you insinuating that Iâm suppressing all of you for Joanâs sake?â He tightened his grip a bit.
She couldnât 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. âI didnât mean that. I just wanted to ask, what do I have to do for you to let Victor off the h ook?â
Seanâs displeasure flicked in his eyes. âIf you hadnât brought this up tonight, I wouldnât have gone after him, but Iâve decided to let him leave tomorrow âHe stood up to refute Nina for our sake, and the incident about four in the morning is the truth. Is that reasonable if you donât appreciate his efforts and want to kick him out of the production team?
Is this production team solely under your control?â Abigail became somewhat angry.
Seanâs voice turned cold. âDo you think I canât resolve the issue without him speaking up? Moreover, youâve shifted all the blame onto me and pretended not to know anything. Isnât that what youâve done?â
Abigail nodded slightly. âTrue. Others canât make mistakes, but you can have the production team edit it out when you do.â
At this, his eyes darkened. âIs a male model worth your anger, Abigail? The root cause of this situation is clearly that you got too close to him, yet youâre bringing up all sorts of irrelevant things.â
She was momentarily stunned.
He stared at her coldly. âEven 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.Moonâs popularity?â
âHe helped me because he saw my injured leg,â Abigail replied coldly. âHow is that being openly with another man? Donât be so absurd.â
She couldnât help but point out that he had his own unclear entanglements with Joan, so why didnât he control himself? He seemed so agitated, only because someone had shown her a little kindness.
âDo you really think itâs not about this? Do you know what heâs thinking? Anyone who can make it in this industry isnât that innocent. Do you truly believe he offended Joan for you?â Seanâs words were cold and mocking.
âItâs 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 youâre blaming me?â
Abigail found Seanâs behavior inexplicable.
In reality, when it came to right or wrong, Seanâs insistence on having a relationship with her within the production team was the root cause of the entire issue.
âIs there a problem for me to be in my wifeâs room?â Sean retorted.
Abigail forced herself to remain calm. âThereâs no problem. I donât want to argue with you. I still have to return and report for duty. As for Victor, Iâll handle it with discretion and also hope that you can give him a chance.â
Sean pursed his lips in silence.
She looked into his eyes and continued, âThis da mn situation arose because of our relationship within the production team.
Since he helped me, I donât want to drag him into this. Sean Graham, weâre still considered a couple. Canât you even compromise that bit?â
He reached out and grasped her waist. âJust this once. Pay attention to your words and actions. You shouldnât allow it even if he tries to get close to you.â
âI understand.â Abigail retreated and avoided his hand as her attitude turned cold. âIâll leave now. Miss Smith might become angry if Iâm late.â
An oppressive feeling lingered in Seanâs heart. Even though Abigail had compromised in this matter, he wasnât uplifted either. Her indifference made him believe that her apology wasnât 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 couldnât help but give a bitter, cold smile.
