Chapter 371
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 371 Shady Business Eventually, Sean sent Kevin out of his room. Kevin bumped into Abigail and Eric just moments after he turned around to walk off, and he held his hand up to give them a rather awkward wave. âHey. Did you guys just get back?â
âYeah.â Abigail nodded with the usual calm and collected expression on her face. Kevin didnât have much to do, so he walked toward Abigail in an attempt to strike up a conversation. âWould you like to have a chat?â
âI have other matters to handle, and I donât have the time to chat. Abigail had already booked herself a flight on the way back, and she only had three hours to get ready.
âItâll just be a short chat. Do you want to stay around, Mr. Davidson?â Kevin turned and beamed at Eric.
Eric shook his head. âYou guys can go on. Iâll head back to my room.â After Eric left, Kevin whispered into Abigailâs ear, saying.
âThis is about Mr. Stuart. Do you want to hear what I have to say?â
Abigail shot him a look. âI know that Mr. Stuart has some powerful forces supporting him, but tonightâs incident is over.â
âDo you really think itâs over?â Kevinâs gaze lit up, and it seemed as if he had read Abigailâs mind. âIâm just here to complete my mission. After all, not all partnerships turn out to be as amicable as others,â Abigail stated flatly. However, Kevin still suspected that Abigail wasnât going to let things go that easily. After all, her previous attempts to target Sean were impressionable to Kevin.
âDid you really record it?â Kevin asked.
âI was lying. I donât think itâs helpful to be honest all the time. I donât mind telling a few lies if it helps me to save myself.â Abigail stepped past Kevin to leave after finishing her sentence. Kevin turned and gazed at her back while chuckling to himself. âShe sure has a strong character. No wonder she can get someone like Eric to sacrifice everything for her.â

It was nearly midnight by the time Abigail got back to Pendorf. Once she got home, she instantly edited the post for her partnership with Runway Capitalis before tagging Eric and Runway. Capitalisâ official account. Eric was quick to repost it as well.
After that, Abigail got a good nightâs sleep. The next morning, she woke up and scrolled through her private messages on Twitter.
As she filtered through the tons of messages, she found the one that she wanted to see. âDid you really partner up with Runway Capitalis, Alana? Are you able to terminate the contract? Runway Capitalis is up to some shady business, and there have been rumors about them that were taken down just a day after it got posted. Several accounts were banned, and people were threatened in the process. Some of them even got sued and were forced 1/3 to pay the penalties. Partnering with them is just a road to self-destruction! You should really consider your decision if you see my message.
Abigail replied to the personâs message. âHave you been on their program?â
About 30 minutes later, the netizen responded to Abigail. âGosh, I hadnât expected you to reply! I have a good friend who participated in this program, but... During their filming, one of the investors got her really drunk. When she woke up the next morning, she found out that she had. slept with three different investors. My friend tried to sue them, but it didnât work out at all.
Sheâs struggling with depression now, and she still has more than 100,000 worth of bills to pay off. Sheâs currently a person subject to enforcement. This happened two years ago. Back then, she forced herself to complete the filming for the show, and she revealed everything on Twitter after she got home. However, the filming team ended up suing her in return, and they dug up tons of her history before twisting and turning some facts to make her seem like a bad person. In the end, she lost her case, and she ended up with a debt of about 160,000 to the three people who sued her. She didnât have the money to pay off her debts, so her cards got blacklisted. She went. into a deep depression about two months after that, and things have just been getting worse and worse for her.
Abigail read through the netizenâs text before responding to it. âI got it. Donât worry about me. Iâll make sure to protect myself.
Abigail didnât know if the netizenâs words were true, but she intended to do some research of her own. She wasnât about to trust anyone so easily.
âAlright. Please take care of yourself, Alana!
That was the only message of its sort that Abigail received that day. However, Eric also received some advice from a well-known influencer. The influencer told him not to take part in the program as it was funded by a lot of suspicious individuals. On top of that, Eric was told that pretty girls were like toys to the investors, and there were a few celebrities who had even signed. long-
term contracts with the program to trick more people into joining them.
âYou should do some research on these things. You should hurry, though. You wonât have time once you start recording the program.â
âI got it. The pieces of information were too broad, and Abigail simply couldnât dig up all of the past events even if she went over to Capitalis. However, these pieces of information were crucial to her, and her post on Twitter wouldâve been for nothing if she disregarded the information that she gathered. After making some arrangements, Abigail went up to Analise. âWeâre going to meet the Grahams today. Weâll apologize for what weâve done, and weâll thank them for the generosity theyâve shown to us.â
âOkay...â Analise lowered her gaze. She seemed to be bothered by something.
âItâs fine. Iâll apologize.â Abigail tried to comfort her grandmother. She knew that it wouldnât feel good for someone of Analiseâs age to go up to others just to apologize to them. âI donât mind apologizing to them. Iâm just worried that Seanâs grandmother might kick up a fuss again.â Analise gazed at Abigail worriedly.
2/3 âSince I made a mistake, Iâll just have to take the beating and stand back up. She can scold me if she wants to,â Abigail uttered with a smile. Analise no longer said anything after that, and Abigail figured that Analise didnât feel too good about the idea.
However, it was a fact that they had made a mistake this time around. Since Sean had requested for them to offer an apology, Abigail felt like it wouldnât be right to ignore his request, especially since the Grahams had agreed to let things go.
