Chapter 369 Unconditionally Supportive
Kevin gazed at Eric with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Meanwhile, Tristan still didn’t show the slightest hint of fear on his face as he commented, “We’re bound by a contract, Ms. Alana. I hope you know how to act in front of the police.” Sean narrowed his eyes and stared at Tristan for at while before he shifted his gaze to look at Kevin. Kevin noticed the look in Sean’s eyes, and he gave a slight nod.
“Alana is just here to participate in the show. She’s just doing her job. Do you have to make such a mess out of things?” another potbellied man uttered with a grin on his face. The man shot the waiter a look, and the waiter immediately turned to walk away. The rest of the staff members. pulled their chairs over to where Abigail and Eric were.
Then, the potbellied man smiled and glanced in Abigail’s direction. The contract has been signed, Ms. Alana. It won’t do you and Eric any good if things get too tense around here. You should consider Eric’s position, even if you don’t care about how things turn out for yourself. He’s working in the entertainment industry, and he’s staying in Capitalis. We’re dealing with a large family in Capitalis here. Mr. Stuart isn’t the sort of person you’d like to disrespect. Even the Davidsons are respectful toward him.”
Abigail had a feeling that Tristan was only allowed to act all high and mighty because he had some big guns supporting him. Furthermore, considering how Tristan and his people had approached them in such a direct manner without playing any games, it was evident that Tristan had the power and ability to destroy her people if they wanted to. Abigail shot a glance in Eric’s direction.
“You don’t have to think about me. You shouldn’t sacrifice your dignity for anyone!” Eric announced.
“Do not exist to you guys?” Sean interrupted in an icy tone. Meanwhile, Kevin held onto his phone and texted a bunch of other people to inform them of the situation while also asking them. about their side of things.
“I know what to say when the police get here,” Abigail stated in a calm tone. She didn’t seem angry at all. Eric wasn’t sure what Abigail was about to say, and he felt rather anxious for her. “You don’t have to be afraid,” he reminded her.
“I’m not, Eric,” Abigail replied.
Eric was the first to explain things once the police arrived. Sean sat by the side, and he only replied to a few questions before he looked in Abigail’s direction. “These bosses have a great sense of humor, but I was just a little too sensitive earlier. My friend only made a police report because he was worried that I was getting taken advantage of. It’s my fault that things turned out like that. I’m so sorry,” Abigail said to the police in a polite tone.
The police couldn’t help but lecture her. “You shouldn’t fool around with the police like that! We’ll have to charge you a penalty of 500 this time, but if this happens again, you’ll have to be detained.
1/3
for up to a whole week!” The police were naturally furious since it seemed like Abigail was messing around with them.
“I’m sorry.” Abigail apologized once more. Eric was fuming at this point, but he sat in his chair. and bit his lower l*p without saying much. Meanwhile, Tristan and the few other higher-ups. exchanged glances with looks of victory on their faces. After the police left, Tristan walked up to Abigail with a grin on his face. “You’re a smart woman, Alana. This explains how you managed to build your business up to this point. Well, you can enjoy the food and drinks for the rest of the night. We’ll send you guys back to the hotel later. The fine of 500 meant nothing to the higher- ups there.
“A wise person is one who acts according to the situation, right? After all, I only joined this. program to get some money. Since this was all a misunderstanding, everything’s fine as long as we’ve cleared things up,” Abigail replied with a smile. Everything laughed along with her.
After the rest of them left, Sean came up to Abigail with a scornful look on his face. “What was that? Did you give in because you were worried that Eric would try to get revenge otherwise?” Sean was annoyed. I could’ve easily handled that bunch of people for her, but she chose to give in to them. Who does she think I am?
“Yeah. Eric only offended them because of me. I can’t just think about my own feelings. I have to consider the consequences he would have to face as well,” Abigail explained in a flat tone. Sean felt a heavy sensation weighing on his chest. He had shown up to offer her help, yet it seemed like he only ended up making a fool out of himself. She never even entertained the idea of me helping her…
“Fine.” Sean stood up after letting out a cold scoff. Let’s go,” he said to Kevin. Kevin tagged along behind Sean while letting out an exasperated sigh. After they got out of the hotel, Sean tugged on his tie to loosen it up. “She wants to cut all ties with me.”
“I don’t understand your relationship with her, Sean, but I think Eric did a pretty good job today.” Kevin uttered in a slow and careful tone. Sean turned to stare at the other man. “Eric stood on her side without any hesitation. A’man who can protect his woman unconditionally… Isn’t that what every woman wants?” Kevin was a playboy himself. He had the ability to keep women around. even after breaking up with them simply because he was extremely sensitive to the needs of
women.
Sean felt his hands trembling, but he paused for a moment before letting out another scoff. “She can do whatever she wants.”
“This isn’t about her, Sean. It’s about you-”
“I’m not Eric!” Sean interrupted Kevin’s words.
“Fine, fine. I’ve asked around, and I found out that Mr. Stuart’s full name is Tristan Stuart. He knows a good number of other investors in Capitalis, and he is affiliated with a lot of reputable and experienced celebrities. He is definitely a strong opponent, even against people like Eric and the Davidsons.” Kevin had no choice but to change the topic.
2/3
Abigail probably chose to do what she did because she knew that Eric was no match for Tristan. It was evident that Abigail was a wise and smart individual-she still managed to remain calm and rational in a situation where she was likely ashamed and embarra*sed for herself. “These powerful individuals in Capitalis have very deep entanglements with one another. Logically speaking, someone at Abigail’s level of fame wouldn’t have been invited to attend a show like this.” Sean felt himself calming down as he spoke.
Kevin widened his eyes. “Did you come here to investigate this matter?” he asked.
