Chapter 144
I Want a Divorce
Chapter 144 Unconditional Support
Sean had encountered quite a number of people in the entertainment industry. Some who seemed
clean on the surface turned out to be even wilder than some wealthy heirs behind closed doors.
Then there were those polite and well-mannered actresses who treated their a*sistants like dirt. when
the cameras werenât rolling. It was all too common.
Sean couldnât help but think that if Laura could see Abigailâs capabilities, her a*sistant Hensey
wouldnât have spoken about her to Lewis in that manner.
Unable to reach Abigail on the phone, Sean decided to call Lewis directly.
At that moment, Lewis had just finished another call. Seeing Seanâs call coming in, he braced
himself and answered, âMr. Grahamâ¦â
Anthony and Sean were two tough nuts to crack.
âWhatâs going on between Abigail and Laura? Can you give me the lowdown?â Seanâs tone was
surprisingly amicable.
Lewis wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone somewhat weak as he explained, âItâs still under
investigation. I asked Miss Quinn, and she said Laura wasnât satisfied with the costumes, but Laura
denied it. Now, both sides are at a standstill. Lauraâs a*sistant is unhappy and even posted on
Instagram, accusing Miss Quinn of lying⦠Itâs driving me crazy.â
âWhy cast a young actress in a historical drama with such profound cultural significance?â Sean
immediately questioned.
âItâs what the investors wanted. Iâm caught between a rock and a hard place. Getting this investment for
the show was already a miracle.â Lewis sounded helpless.
Sean tapped his desk. âIs it her companyâs demand? How much did they invest?â
âThey invested sixteen million.â Lewis sighed.
Historical dramas, especially ones shot on location, were certainly costly affairs.
âDirector Lewis, all you need to do is stay on top of this situation. Today, Iâll keep Laura occupied so you
have some breathing room. Find the right moment. Whether you can a*sert yourself is up to you,
understand?â Sean concluded and promptly ended the call.
Lauraâs dissatisfied with her costume? That probably means she didnât find it flattering enough to
enhance her ordinary looks.
After Abigail finished discussing things with Anthony, the latter suggested using another artistâs scandal
to divert attention, temporarily stalling public opinion. Then, he would have Lewis quickly. release a
statement, suggesting it was a misunderstanding. He would also discreetly pressure Lauraâs company,
hoping she wouldnât make things too unsightly and let the matter blow over. If things. didnât work,
Abigail should reveal herself as Alana.
But Abigail couldnât shake the feeling that this wasnât the right approach. It was like planting a time
bomb.
If Laura finished filming and later privately leaked something, L.Moon would be irreparably damaged.
Besides, bringing up Abigailâs identity as Alana at this point would be a deliberate act of
suppression.
She declined and decided to speak with Laura herself.
Just as Abigail was about to go looking for Laura, her phone rang.
Seeing Seanâs call, she couldnât help but think, Sean sure is persistent.
Upon answering the call, Abigail was quick to say, âThis is my issue. Stay out of it.â
âIf I stay out, can you handle it?â Sean asked angrily, âYouâve been on the phone for so long. Did you
and Anthony come up with some earth-shattering plan?â
âHow do you know I was on the phone with him?â Abigail instinctively asked.
Sean scoffed at that. âI just know. So, did you come up with a plan?â
âNo plan. Iâm going to talk to Laura myself. If that doesnât work, Iâll step down and let another a*sistant
take over,â Abigail replied.
After all, she didnât want to put Lewis and Anthony in a tight spot.
âYou had the guts to face challenges when you were on my show. Donât tell me youâve turned into a
shrinking violet just because youâve switched lanes?â Sean taunted Abigail.
âYeah.
His words made Abigail feel uncomfortable. She was already annoyed, and Seanâs jab stung. so what?
Youâre my husband. Do I need to be afraid of messing things up for my own husband?â
With this statement, Abigail immediately pleased Sean.
The anger he had been holding onto disappeared in an instant.
âWell, if anything happens, Iâve got your back. You donât have to do anything. Iâm already taking care of
it. Soon, Iâll have Laura begging you to stay on set!â As Sean spoke, his tone turned icy.
Abigail hesitated for a moment. âHow are you handling it?â
âThe entertainment industry isnât exactly squeaky clean, and since netizens are saying Iâm your
cousin, Iâll show them how your isin deals with someone whoâs wronged you.â Seanâs voice.
carried a resolute tone.
Abigailâs emotions swirled inside, but she quickly said, âI can handle it myselfâ¦â
âWhat do you mean by handling it yourself? Focus on your job and leave this to me. When itâs all said
and done, Laura will be on her knees, begging you to stay on set!â Sean concluded and promptly hung
up.
Cameron, who had been out investigating, had returned. He didnât have time to waste on Abigail.
Sitting down in her room, Abigail held her phone, her heart beating unusually fast.
As she reflected on the three years they had spent together, she often felt like she had been wronged.
But looking back, Abigail wondered if she had had a serious talk with Sean.
Perhaps if she had dropped the act sooner, Sean would have recognized the issues between them.
sooner.
Abigailâs thoughts raced, but she soon calmed down.
Joan is still in the picture⦠Sean is just trying to save his own reputation. If Abigail, someone related to
him, was mistreated, he obviously wouldnât be pleased.
re in Abigailâs shoes today, Sean would be just as indignant.
