Chapter 272 Awkward
As soon as Abigail leaned back against the couch, she pursed her lips. “I bought a fine batch of Marimora pearls from Mr. Fernandez. Interestingly, a jeweler told me today that there is a wealthy young lady from Capitalis who wishes to acquire this particular batch of pearls to craft into jewelry for her upcoming family reunion banquet. Coincidentally, Kelly commissioned me to make her a dress for her family reunion banquet. I strongly suspect that they are the same person.”
Sean looked at her with a cold and stern expression. “You never mentioned your Marimora pearl purchase, but she somehow managed to find out. It seems that she’s quite resourceful.”
“She even transferred 657 thousand to us! I found the number suspicious at the time. She’s really infuriating!” Luna was almost out of breath as she huffed angrily.
“She holds such deep malice against Ms. Quinn, but did Ms. Quinn do anything to wrong her? She’s done so many disgusting things openly and in secret!” Kevin’s fists tightened.
Abigail thought about it. Kelly’s cunningness lay in how she managed to disgust them from various angles. When they finally understood her words, actions, and intentions, they suddenly felt utterly humiliated.

However, Kelly wasn’t merely after the Marimora pearls. She could easily ask the Pearsons to buy them for her.
After Abigail spoke with Ronaldo, she realized that Kelly’s previous tactics to disgust her were merely a byproduct of her ultimate goal.
She definitely had hidden intentions.
“Since this batch of Marimora pearls belongs to you, it’s yours. Who does Kelly think she is?” Sean glanced at Abigail with a cold gaze.
Kelly had the resources to obtain the Marimora pearls, yet she insisted on taking them from Abigail. Obviously, she was using the Pearsons as leverage to trample on Abigail.
“If she really has connections with those people from the Davidsons who were after me, I don’t think I’ll let her go!” Kevin snickered through gritted teeth, a sinister smile plastered on his face.
“I’m meeting you guys because I want you to watch out for her. Each of us deals with one threat. Mr. Stewart, you take care of the Davidsons. Mr. Graham, you deal with your affair with the Palmers, and I will personally take care of Kelly!” Abigail uttered those aggressive words with an icy expression.
Sean couldn’t help but glance at her. ‘Do you already have a plan?”
“I don’t know about your dealings with the Palmers, but I hope you can handle it on your own. My problems have caused you a lot of trouble, and I don’t want you to get involved in more trouble because of me,” Abigail commented with a sharp look in her eyes.
Sean nodded. A glimmer of hope had just risen in his heart, only to be shattered into disappointment by her words.
She was sitting here today because they had encountered a common enemy, and that enemy had made her a target, endangering everyone who had secretly helped her.
Abigail merely didn’t want to carry more guilt.
Thankfully, the wine was served at the right time.

Abigail followed suit, raising her glass.
They only drank for an hour.
After getting a little tipsy, Abigail leaned toward the teary–eyed Luna and reassured her, “Don’t worry. We’ll find Micah. I’ve teamed up with Mr. Fernandez… and he said he’ll take Micah down no matter what it takes!”
Hugging Abigail, Luna lamented, “We’ve been through so much trouble, all because of Eric’s confession to you. Kelly must be jealous of you and Eric, thinking you stole her fiance. That’s why she’s treating us like this!”
Sean listened silently, gripping his wine glass tightly throughout. It turned out that before seeking him out, Abigail had prioritized working with Ronaldo. For the matters involving Kelly and her studio, she and Ronaldo had a shared plan.
After Sean instructed Cameron to send Abigail and Luna home, he continued drinking with Kevin.
“Seems like Abigail is still awkward around us,” Kevin commented purposely while drinking.
Raising his wine glass, Sean gazed into the blue liquid. His pupils reflected a bewitching color. “Kelly didn’t hesitate to buy off her studio’s designers, steal her designs, and then snatch the Marimora pearls that belonged to her. She will eventually get what she deserves!”
Looking at the bewitching glint in his eyes, Kevin shuddered. “Are you… planning to deal with Kelly?
Sean swirled his wine glass and replied cryptically, “How dare someone who came out of nowhere challenge me? I think she’s asking for trouble,”
