Chapter 145
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 145 Sean Takes Matters Into His Own Hands In less than two hours, Sean personally stepped in to confront Laura.
First, it was revealed that Laura had once used her high heels to step on her assistant, and then it was disclosed that she had slapped a low-level extra on set. There were videos, and the evidence. was backed up by the posts of the unfortunate extra.
Abigail saw Sean lambasting Laura on Instagram himself and immediately called him.
As soon as the call connected, Seanâs tone was upbeat. âHowâs it going?â
âWhy did you personally post on Instagram? People might say youâre helping me...â Abigail started, her voice tinged with concern.
âWhatâs wrong with me helping you? Laura dares to bully you because she has her powerful backers and a legion of mindless fans.â retorted icily.
âBut this might not be good for you in the end,â Abigail said, her tone firm.
Sean sneered at that. âIs Anthony helping you any better?â
âHe didnât intend to help me like that, and regardless of your involvement, I would have handled this matter myself,â Abigail replied calmly âIs your solution to leave the production?â Sean asked, to which Abigail answered coldly, âYes, it is.
My job here is almost done. With the capabilities of L.Moon Studio, once the show airs, the audience will know the truth.â
âDo you think Iâm overstepping by resolving these troubles this way?â Sean countered.
âNo,â Abigail immediately responded.
She just felt that Sean wasnât a part of the industry, and there was no need for him to get deeply involved in public opinion.
Seanâs voice softened as he murmured, âAbigail, all I need is for you to genuinely accept my help.â
Abigailâs heart raced a bit and she licked her lips. âThank you.â
She hadnât expected Sean to be so straightforward.
Seanâs voice carried a hint of satisfaction. âAlright, then. Focus on your work. As long as you want to stay on set, no one can make you leave.â
âOkay,â she replied softly.
After hanging up the phone, Abigail furrowed her brows and contemplated for a while.
A moment later, she opened Instagram.
Seanâs Instagram post, where he personally defended her, had already become a trending topic.
Abigail saw the title but didnât click on it.
âLaura, come out and apologize to Abigail!â This was the kind of headline that Sean would definitely come up with.
After looking at the post, she scrolled down to read the comments.
âLaura, the pure and innocent flower. It seems Dumplings are truly biased. Every time something happens, itâs always the poor, innocent Laura whoâs being bullied. I never expected the innocent flower to be so ruthless in hitting others. Thatâs why her previous assistant suddenly changed, right?â
âAbigail has connections. She can fabricate evidence, for sure.â
This comment was at the top because Sean had replied to it.
Sean tagged and replied to the user named RoundDumpling, Iâve saved your comment. Youâre spreading rumors about me, so get ready for a court summons.â
Below were a bunch of applause emojis.
âLauraâs evil little Dumplings, please donât delete this. Let your idol sue Sean and make him. apologize to her.â
âSean is so bold, and I love it. I wish I had a cousin like him!â
Instagram was in complete chaos.
After reading through the comments, Abigail stood up and went to the door. Lewis was standing outside, looking apologetic as he gazed at her.
âWhatâs wrong?â she asked.
Lewis rubbed his hands together and mumbled awkwardly, âThis morning, I accused you without asking for the reasons, and Iâm really sorry. I didnât expect them to maliciously spread those rumors about you.â
Abigail fixed Lewis with a cool gaze. âIâm quite curious. Is this how you always treat the regular crew members on set?â
Lewis hesitated for a moment.
Abigail continued, her tone even, âIâm an outsider to this industry, so I might not understand all the norms. But when it comes to thegular crew members being unjustly accused, you default to blaming them without discerning the truth. I find that very unsettling.â
âYouâre right. I should have asked a bit more back then. Itâs just that tempers can flare on set... Lewis explained, to which Abigail calmly interjected, âIn reality, this is your industryâs practice. The leads hold a high position, and you agree with whatever they say. You didnât even bother to ask me. why Laura was upset with me.â
âI already had Laura apologize to you,â Lewis said, a hint of awkwardness in his voice.
In this industry, those with higher status tended to gradually see themselves as superior. This meant that the quiet, hardworking crew members were often overlooked.
âI donât need her apology. I just hope sheâll admit whether she truly disliked L.Moonâs designs. Just one word from her is all I ask,â Abigail said, locking eyes with Lewis.
Lewis couldnât help but say, âSheâs a new rising starlet; sheâs bound to be conscious of her appearance. As for our show...â
âOur show is perfectly fine. She wants to film something glamorous yet also demands a high- quality historical drama. Whether she qualifies for that challenge is her own deal,â Abigail stated calmly.
She had designed haute couture for international leading ladies. What right did Laura have to criticize her designs?
