The Spare Wife

Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Jealous? Nina quickly spoke after Sean, “Miss Palmer didn’t lie. Everyone present heard it. Victor said Miss Palmer used your reputation for publicity and claimed that you only had eyes for Miss Quinn, completely ignoring Miss Palmer.” Without looking at her, Sean turned to Abigail, saying, “You answer.” Looking into his eyes, she spoke politely, “Victor’s words were unintentional. You’re an important. figure in the program, Mr. Graham. Why bother arguing with a model?” “A model who sows discord shouldn’t stay in the program,” he said indifferently. Just when Cameron wanted to step forward and ask Victor to leave, Abigail looked at Sean and maintained her calm tone as she replied, “In fact, this whole incident started because Miss Lowery claimed to have seen you leaving my room last night around 4.00AM, but I knew nothing about it.” At her words, Sean narrowed his eyes, surprised that she tried to outmaneuver him. Nina, realizing she was implicated, immediately waved her hands and clarified, “I didn’t say that. You’re babbling!” Abigail’s eyes showed a hint of confusion. “Did I hear you wrong? Miss Palmer has been jealous and hasn’t been cooperating with my work because of that accusation. I’m in a difficult position, too.” Sean’s gaze bore deeply into her.

Though she felt her scalp tingling under his intense stare, she stayed calm and continued, “Victor explained that he did meet you in the elevator last night, and since we stayed close by, you accompanied me for a while. Who would’ve thought that Miss Palmer would accuse him of chasing clout from me?” At her words, he wondered, If it weren’t for seeing how attentive Victor was to her, I might’ve actually believed her words. Did she shift all the blame onto me just to protect him? “Is that all?” he asked Abigail. As she pressed her lips together, she nodded. “That’s all. This matter has nothing to do with Victor.” “But it’s true that he said Miss Palmer used me for publicity, right? If I don’t take action today, everyone will think they can drag me into a mess like this,” Sean answered indifferently.

From his words, she detected a hint of warning. Does he want to make Victor pay at all costs today? Nina, thinking that Sean might punish her too, immediately spoke up. “I didn’t say that, I swear. I only mentioned seeing a man leaving her room around 4.00AM.” “You clearly mentioned Mr. Graham, or else Miss Palmer wouldn’t have been jealous and refused to cooperate with my work.” Abigail insisted, not letting Nina off the h ook. Just then, Joan chimed in, “I must’ve misheard, and I’m not refusing to cooperate. I just wanted some fruit to eat. You’ve misunderstood me. I have great respect for Luna and, by extension, for you too.” Abigail turned to Sean and earnestly suggested, “Mr. Graham, why don’t you check the surveillance footage? Even though I’m just an assistant, being accused of having a man enter and leave my room at 4.00AM is quite frightening.” Instantly, he gave her a cold stare. Wow, her performance today has truly surprised me. “You can decide what to do with Victor after finding the truth. He was only helping you and me clear our names, which led to a dispute with Miss Palmer, and he said some unintentional things,” she added. With just a few words, she had turned Victor into the savior who helped clear up his rumored relationships. However, he did not seem pleased with her words. Instead, he gave her a cold glance. “You guys talk nonsense and expect me to investigate the truth for you?” She was momentarily speechless. Suddenly, Joan piped up, “As long as we check the surveillance footage on your floor-” She did not finish her sentence as the cold, disapproving look from Sean silenced her. “Miss Quinn, are you determined to defend this model?” He kept his eyes fixed on Abigail. As she lowered her gaze, she maintained a calm expression. “I don’t have the authority to defend anyone. I’m just an assistant. However, this program is ultimately for entertainment purposes, and changing participants midway due to disputes might create a negative impression on viewers.” He gave a cold laugh and nodded. “You’re usually so quiet, but you surprised me today, Miss Quinn.” With that, he turned and left.

Only after some time did it dawn on Abigail that it seemed like he was insinuating that she had become more talkative because of Victor. Unable to fathom how he would handle the situation, she furrowed her brows.
