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 weren’t rolling. It was all too common.
Sean couldn’t help but think that if Laura could see Abigail’s capabilities, her a*sistant Hensey
wouldn’t 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 Sean’s call coming in, he braced
himself and answered, “Mr. Graham…”
Anthony and Sean were two tough nuts to crack.
“What’s going on between Abigail and Laura? Can you give me the lowdown?” Sean’s tone was surprisingly amicable.
Lewis wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone somewhat weak as he explained, “It’s still under investigation. I asked Miss Quinn, and she said Laura wasn’t satisfied with the costumes, but Laura denied it. Now, both sides are at a standstill. Laura’s a*sistant is unhappy and even posted on
Instagram, accusing Miss Quinn of lying… It’s driving me crazy.”
“Why cast a young actress in a historical drama with such profound cultural significance?” Sean immediately questioned.
“It’s what the investors wanted. I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. Getting this investment for the show was already a miracle.” Lewis sounded helpless.
Sean tapped his desk. “Is it her company’s demand? How much did they invest?”
“They invested sixteen million.” Lewis sighed.
Historical dramas, especially ones shot on location, were certainly costly affairs.
“Director Lewis, all you need to do is stay on top of this situation. Today, I’ll keep Laura occupied so you have some breathing room. Find the right moment. Whether you can a*sert yourself is up to you, understand?” Sean concluded and promptly ended the call.
Laura’s dissatisfied with her costume? That probably means she didn’t find it flattering enough to enhance her ordinary looks.
After Abigail finished discussing things with Anthony, the latter suggested using another artist’s 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 Laura’s company, hoping she wouldn’t make things too unsightly and let the matter blow over. If things. didn’t work, Abigail should reveal herself as Alana.
But Abigail couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t 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 Abigail’s 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 Sean’s call, she couldn’t help but think, Sean sure is persistent.
Upon answering the call, Abigail was quick to say, “This is my issue. Stay out of it.”
“If I stay out, can you handle it?” Sean asked angrily, “You’ve been on the phone for so long. Did you and Anthony come up with some earth-shattering plan?”
“How do you know I was on the phone with him?” Abigail instinctively asked.
Sean scoffed at that. “I just know. So, did you come up with a plan?”
“No plan. I’m going to talk to Laura myself. If that doesn’t work, I’ll step down and let another a*sistant take over,” Abigail replied.
After all, she didn’t want to put Lewis and Anthony in a tight spot.
“You had the guts to face challenges when you were on my show. Don’t tell me you’ve turned into a shrinking violet just because you’ve switched lanes?” Sean taunted Abigail.
“Yeah.
His words made Abigail feel uncomfortable. She was already annoyed, and Sean’s jab stung. so what? You’re my husband. Do I need to be afraid of messing things up for my own husband?”
With this statement, Abigail immediately pleased Sean.
The anger he had been holding onto disappeared in an instant.
“Well, if anything happens, I’ve got your back. You don’t have to do anything. I’m already taking care of it. Soon, I’ll have Laura begging you to stay on set!” As Sean spoke, his tone turned icy.
Abigail hesitated for a moment. “How are you handling it?”
“The entertainment industry isn’t exactly squeaky clean, and since netizens are saying I’m your
cousin, I’ll show them how your isin deals with someone who’s wronged you.” Sean’s voice.
carried a resolute tone.
Abigail’s emotions swirled inside, but she quickly said, “I can handle it myself…”
“What do you mean by handling it yourself? Focus on your job and leave this to me. When it’s all said and done, Laura will be on her knees, begging you to stay on set!” Sean concluded and promptly hung up.
Cameron, who had been out investigating, had returned. He didn’t 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.
Abigail’s 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 wouldn’t be pleased.
re in Abigail’s shoes today, Sean would be just as indignant.
