Chapter 452 Did I Hit a Person?
There was nothing in Abigailâs expression except for speechlessness. She pushed Sean away and said with an icy tone, âSean, you keep going back and forth, and Iâm tired of it. Can you please stay away from me?â
He did not mind her words and was about to follow her out when Alfie and Damon approached them. Just then, Alfie signaled for him to stay for a moment.
Seeing they did not follow her, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief but celebrated too early. Before she could. return to her scat, a drunken man intercepted her.
The man was clearly intoxicated, and his gaze was lecherous. Disgusted, she furrowed her brows and tried to avoid him, but the man grabbed her wrist and said, âYouâre hot. How about having a drink with me and my buddies?â
âLet go of me, or Iâll call the cops.â She shook off his grip.
That made the man stumble, nearly falling, and he immediately became furious. âA woman coming to a bar alone is just to hook up with men, isnât it? What decent woman hangs out in bars? Stop pretending to be innocent!â His voice was loud, and in the quiet bar, everyoneâs attention was drawn to them.
Abigail had not wanted to engage with him, but upon hearing his words, she lifted her foot and kicked his groin with her high heel. At once, the man let out a pig-like scream, clutching his crotch and falling to the ground.
As she approached him, she looked down at him condescendingly and said word by word, âYou donât get a say in what women are or arenât, especially where we set foot. Also, trash like you will be trash wherever you go. Do you understand?â
âMr. Carter!â The moment she finished speaking a group of men rushed toward them. The leader of the group helped up the man Abigail had just kicked while others surrounded her. âDo you know who you just hit? This question came from one of the men who were surrounding her. He was in a suit and polished leather shoes and had applied a significant amount of hair gel.
âWho? I remember just kicking away a piece of trash, she replied calmly.
âYouâre doomed!â the man said.
âI know you; youâre L.Moonâs designer, Alana. As a public figure, you publicly attacked someone! Weâll expose you!â Another person chimed in.
Abigail was about to respond, but Eric rushed in and shielded her. However, before he could speak, Alfie arrived and grabbed the person planning to expose Abigail. Before the man could react, he was thrown over the shoulder to the ground by him.
At the same time, Sean entered the crowd and pushed Eric aside, standing before Abigail. He gazed at her intently before turning to the others and saying, âDo you wish to continue?â
Seeing the odds were against them, the others quickly backed off with the two injured men.
Following that, Alfie rushed to Abagailâs side, and Eric was shoved aside once again. âAre you okay?â
âI tice she replied to the grinning Alfie politely.
âWhat did that old guy say?â he asked 12 After some contemplation, she spoke, âHe said that decent women donât come to bars, and I came here to hook up with men.â
She had initially considered letting it go, thinking that the man had been humiliated enough. However, on second thought, she felt that someone who dared to casually accost a stranger in a bar and make derogatory remarks must have a terrible character.
He might even engage in such despicable behavior without fear regularly.
Hearing that, Sean chuckled. âSome men just lack self-awareness. Alfie, you know what to do, right?â
With a smile, Alfie replied, âI know.â He quickly caught up with the group of people and grabbed the old guy, leading him away.
Eric, who had lost the limelight to Sean, felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Just then, Damon shielded Abigail and spoke politely, âWe havenât eaten yet. Donât be angry because of some jerk. Come, letâs go eat.â
Sean followed them, casting a sidelong glance at Eric. Unable to hold back any longer, the latter said, âOld Mrs. Graham has repeatedly made things difficult for Ms. Quinn. If I were you, Iâd stay away from her.
âYour family was also badmouthing her online, but I donât see you distancing from her. You know that you have many crazy fans, yet you meet her privately,â Sean calmly retorted.
His words left Eric with no words to retort.
When Sean noticed that, a mocking smile played on his lips. You want to argue with me?
Abigail had initially thought the incident with the stranger was just a minor episode. However, as they left the bar, she discovered that videos of her kicking the middle-aged man were circulating online. These videos were taken out of context, claiming that the other person was just drunk, accidentally said something to her, and then got struck.
Those who smeared her conveniently left Sean and the others out of the story. Only after seeing the Instagram post did Luna learn about the incident. âThis was orchestrated!â After several drinks, her anger flared.
âIll investigate it.â Josh immediately reassured her.
Without a word, Abigail glanced at him.
Luna understood the meaning behind her gaze. Suppressing her anger, she called out to him. âJoshie, you must get to the bottom of this. Donât let Abigail be wronged. Sheâs more important to me than my real sister. If sheâs hurt, Iâll be mad.â
Hearing her clingy tone, Sean felt goosebumps all over his body. However, Josh seemed to enjoy it as he hugged her waist.
âOkay. I wonât disappoint you.â
