Chapter 582 Infighting
Howard looked into her eyes. “If you want an explanation, I can give you an explanation. But if you aren’t saying anything, how do you expect me to answer you?”
Abigail wanted to slap him. “I’ve turned a blind eye to your taking little bribes all this time. but I can’t believe you’d still do this when you’re in a place like this! How impatient can you be?” No wonder Luna wouldn’t stop arguing with him when they dated. He’s been working in Fairy Meadow for a year, but he’s not even one-hundredth of a manager Luna is. He’d toss our reputation aside just for pennies!
“He said he wanted to treat me to a meal. How was I supposed to know the drink was spiked?”
“Talking’s useless now, Howard. You and I both know why you went to that meal. You’ve always used your position to get things for yourself, but you have no idea how much those little bribes limit you. Do you really need those things?” Abigail chided.
Howard was a little disgruntled. He looked at Abigail. “Yeah, I do. You have no idea how important those ‘little bribes’ are to me. You’re born to the Quinns, and Sean loves you. You can get any money and power if you just say the word. I’m not you. You want to know how I got this job? I sold out my original shareholders.”
Abigail looked at him in disbelief. “You thought I relied on them for my success?” I took on the mantle of Alana and worked my “ss off doing designs. I made it this far, one step at a time. When L.Moon was attacked, I didn’t rely on anyone. I had to give up tons of my benefits. The company lost seven figures when we were at our lowest. He didn’t bring that up.
Howard blushed, and he refused to talk anymore.
Abigail smiled. “I see why you and Luna couldn’t work out. You only see what I have, and you ignore L.Moon’s and Fairy Meadow’s crises and how I dealt with them. You’re insecure. because a big man like you is losing to a woman like me, so you think I relied on Sean and my family for my
my success.”
“I didn’t mean that,” denied Howard.
“That was what you meant. ‘You can get any money and power if you just say the word. Bullsh*t. Your head’s gone wrong from all the bribes you took. My family didn’t help me when L.Moon and Fairy Meadow were being attacked. Sean didn’t help me. They didn’t rocket Alana’s name to fame. Leap Gaming’s app is making millions every day. You think you’re the one taking credit for it, or should it be Leap Gaming’s? No, it’s mine. I picked up their dropped project. I made this project because I wanted to service more women consumers. You’re nothing. Howard. Don’t throw your tantrum at me!”
Abigail was furious. She couldn’t believe someone she’d been working together with for 1

year thought she gained all her success thanks to her family and Sean. Abigail picked up her suitcase and pushed Howard away. She wanted to leave. I can’t believe I worked with trash who looks down on women.
Howard quickly caught up to Abigail. He said, “I’m sorry. I was just panicking.”
“Don’t f*cking apologize to me. Apologize to Fairy Meadow. You ruined its name, yout pig!”
Howard’s eyes turned red. He stopped Abigail again. “You’re leaving me alone? What should I do? I’m really sorry, Abigail!”
Pushed to her limit, Abigail slapped Howard. “What are you, trash? You can’t survive. without me? This is your problem, so you should fix it! L.Moon can break up the partnership! You think I’m scared?” She towed her luggage and left. If I don’t teach that pig a lesson, he’d think he’s a someb*dy. So many people in the capital have to live paych*ck to paycheck, but they aren’t as pathetic as he is. He’s incompetent, but he blames someone else for it. Thinks he’s someone important just because he’s some boss. Money and power ate him up.
Once Abigail left the hotel, Howard angrily took his suit off and hurled it to the ground. Not long after Abigail boarded her flight, news about Abigail and Howard fighting among themselves made it to trending on Twitter.
The video of their argument in the hotel and Abigail slapping Howard was clear. There was no voice, so no one knew who was in the wrong.
Abigail had just rested her eyes, but Sean called her. She took the call, and exhausted, she asked, “What is it?”
“You’re coming back?” Sean asked.
“Yeah. How’d you know? Howard told you?” asked Abigail calmly. She had no idea that her argument with Howard was already trending on Twitter.
Concerned, Sean asked, “What happened between you two? The video about your argument’s trending on Twitter right now. It’s going viral.”
A moment of silence later, Abigail said, “He’s in big trouble. I don’t want to even talk about it. He’s a pile of dogsh*t.” I can’t believe this. I’d have done more bringing my a*sistant over
instead of him!
