Chapter 373
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 373 Step By Step Sean curled his fingers tightly around the bottle of water and only spoke after a long pause. âIâm sure you can tell that I like you.
Why do you seem so indifferent toward me all the time?â
âI donât think I have a reason to show any response to your unconvincing show of love,â Abigail replied. Perhaps he thinks that being nice to me is his way of showing that he likes me. However, my guess is he only thinks that he likes me because heâs resentful after being forced to get a divorce. Even though he didnât decide to start a family out of love, he still wanted to go on with the marriage at first. The strategies that he uses for his work didnât help him in his marriage, and heâs unhappy to find out that thereâs a flaw in his skill set. Thatâs probably why heâs trying so hard to save this now.
Sean hadnât expected to be so flustered by Abigailâs response. He hadnât expected her to utter such a thing at all. âOur marriage was a failure, Sean. It failed so badly that Iâd rather marry anyone than you. Youâre wondering how I remain indifferent toward your gestures of fondness, but why donât you wonder about all the times Iâve compromised with your needs in the past three years?â Upon finishing her sentence, Abigail realized that a staff member was watching them from afar.
Is this the correct brand of water?â Abigail asked hurriedly.
âYeah,â Sean replied with a nod. Abigail took another three bottles of the same water before she headed off to pay the bill. She didnât bother to check whether he followed behind her. When she returned to the ward, she realized that he wasnât with her.
âLetâs go,â Analise said right after Abigail placed the water bottles down.
Abigail didnât bother to question anything-she simply nodded before leaving with Analise. Seanâs words made Abigail feel bad, but she didnât reveal any of that in her expression.
Over the next few days, Abigail did her preparations for the program recording while also researching for the information she needed. A few other people sent her private messages after that to provide her with more evidence. After compiling all the messages, she sent them to a professional who could determine the validity of these claims. On the day that she was supposed to head to the recording, she received news from the professional she had hired.
âThe first message is legitimate, but the rest are fake: Abigail held onto her phone as she fell deep into thought. I didnât announce anything about the shady things that have been going on, and I remained friendly with Runway Capitalis for the rest of the time.
In that case, were the people who sent me the later messages trying to trick me? The message that didnât provide any evidence turned out to be true, yet the ones who gave evidence turned out to be false. Do they expect me to speak up for them with the use of their evidence? Is Runway Capitalis the one whoâs directing all of this? Well, regardless of whoâs behind this, perhaps I should make good use of all these.
After she got onto her flight, she forwarded the false messages to Eric. âPlease send these out to people that you trust. Do it at night. I want all of my screenshots with these people to be leaked.â
1/2 âAlright. Will it cause trouble for you?â Eric replied.
âNo. Iâve already made the necessary arrangements. After texting Eric, Abigail sent another text to Ronaldo. âI need your help.
Youâre going to like this job, she texted. Ronaldoâs reply came with a tone of excitement. I havenât heard from you in so long, Ms.
Quinn! What do you need help with? Do you want to have some seafood? Iâll get someone to deliver it over by plane. I can send it over in two hours, and I can guarantee that all of it is fresh!
Abigail couldnât help but guffaw after seeing Ronaldoâs words. âI donât think Iâll have time for it. Once youâve helped me out, and once Iâm done with all my matters, Iâll bring you out for a meal, Abigail replied.
âDeal!â
After Abigail told Ronaldo the gist of things, she threw her phone aside before getting some peace and rest. Once they arrived at Capitalis, Abigail checked into a hotel that had been pre-arranged. Eric got to her soon after that. âYou should stay here since you donât want to stay in the hotel that was prepared by the production team. I come here pretty often. What do you think of the environment?â Eric approached Abigail in a friendly manner when he saw her.
âItâs pretty good,â she replied. The hotel was uniquely designed like a holiday resort. All the rooms were located on the same floor, and the whole hotel took up a lot of land. There was a pool, a beach, and tons of greenery surrounding them. It made the visitors feel like they were on a beach vacation.
Iâm glad you like it. Iâve inspected this place, so youâre safe here.â Eric was a thoughtful man.
âThank you. Have you arranged everything for tonight?â Abigail gazed at him with twinkling eyes.
âDonât worry, everything has been arranged. Iâm just a little concerned about you.â There was an anxious look in Ericâs eyes as he looked at the woman. Abigail looked out of the window and gazed at the night view for a while before she spoke confidently.
âDonât worry. Iâve prepared a Plan B for myself, lest things go wrong at some point.â
Eric couldnât contain the admiration he had for Abigail as he looked at her. Abigail, on the other hand, didnât seem to notice the look in his eyes. âThis is a nice place. Iâd like to take a stroll, but you can head off to rest first,â she uttered. Even though she was busy with work, she often paid close attention to her surroundings in her process of creative work.
âAlright.â Eric decided not to bother her. After he left, Abigail pushed the glass door open and walked out into the night. Recently, she initiated multiple interactions with Runway Capitalisâ official account. She was extremely pleasant toward them, and it was her goal to make sure that they lowered their guard. Since they had the guts to harm me, now is my time to repay them with a huge surprise. Iâm going to show them that even a powerless person like me can make them suffer!
