Chapter 370 Improving Stubbornness
Sean didn’t respond to Kevin’s question. “My grandfather used to be a reputable and influential man in Pendorf, you
know. No one in Pendorf would have the guts to harm him,” Sean said. instead.
Kevin’s expression darkened. “Do you think you might’ve indirectly offended some of the people from Capitalis after
upsetting Vincent?”
“I’m not sure, but Vincent did try to sell me overseas, so he might have a supply chain backing. him up. I’ve
probably wrecked the whole supply chain by causing trouble to him.” Sean walked out to the balcony after finishing
his words.
Kevin couldn’t help but shudder at that idea. “Would it be safe for us to keep Ms. Quinn around here, then?”
“Eric’s here, so what’s there to worry about?” There was a hint of sarcasm in Sean’s tone, and Kevin. figured that
Sean was still resentful about what happened. Sean’s probably mad because Ms. Quinn didn’t consider him as part
of the plan at all tonight.

Wouldn’t it be a shame if you came here just to get angry and lose your appetite?” Abigail brought some dessert
over to Eric once more.
Eric turned his body away from her. “I’m an actor, and I need to maintain a certain percentage of body fat. I can’t
eat sweet stuff.”
“I don’t see you eating any veggies, either,” Abigail commented.
“I told you earlier-I don’t want you to worry about whether you’re troubling me. Why don’t you trust me? Do you
think I can’t protect you? Are you afraid of burdening me? I don’t care about. that at all. Those people are
sc*mbags, and they deserve to be put behind bars!” Eric glared at Abigail.
“Have you ever considered why they’re able to act all cocky around us, Eric?” Abigail asked calmly
“I don’t care how cocky they act! I’m sure my parents will do something about it even if I get into trouble. On top of
that, I have my fans that I can use as support!” Eric got emotional as he spoke. Deep down, he was angry at how
cowardly Abigail seemed, and he was angry at how she couldn’t seem to rely on him. She had no choice but to set
them free even after they shamed her. Eric felt extremely bad.
“Sean’s around, too! Even if you don’t like him, you can still take advantage of his influence and power. What’s
wrong with that?!” Eric didn’t even mind if Abigail sought Sean for help. He only had one goal in mind that night,
and that was to put those sc*mbags behind bars!

“He doesn’t seem to care about what happened tonight, though,” Abigail uttered, convinced that Sean wasn’t
interested in being a part of the incident. He had dropped by to exchange a few sentences for old times’ sake.
Perhaps Kevin was the one who told him to come over. Nowadays, it looks like he has really let go of that final bit of
male ego that would’ve made him take action in the past.
Abigail was glad to have done what she did. If Sean turned out to be an unreliable source, and if I ended up getting
Eric into trouble, I would feel really guilty. “You should’ve been firmer about things. If you really- Eric started.
“Eric, even if we made a fuss out of today’s incident, they would’ve just been detained for a few days. That’s not
the outcome I want.” Abigail interrupted the man’s words.

“Are you bothered by the words that they used to shame me? Gangsters. like them use words to hurt a woman’s
pride all the time. They would’ve succeeded if I had actually felt ashamed. But….. I didn’t do anything, so why
should I feel ashamed? What’s there for me to feel bad for?” Abigail explained gently.
Eric was dumbfounded as he looked at the woman. “I’m not that fragile, you know. I’m not going to start criticizing
myself just because they said those things about me. In fact, I intend to plan things out so that I can give them the
punishment they deserve. If we simply made a scene tonight, their punishment would be too light,” Abigail added
with a smile.
Eric cautiously reached out to hold onto her hand. “You should trust me next time,” he said. Upon seeing the
earnest look on his face, Abigail nodded with a smile. “Sure.” Initially, Abigail felt rather conflicted toward Eric
because of the trouble he had caused her. However, she felt like she got to see a different side of Eric that night. He
was like a ball of warmth around people, constantly thinking about others even when he was struggling on his own.
Even though they only came in contact for a short while, someone managed to snap a picture of them. The picture
began spreading from Capitalis’ marketing account, and by the time the event ended, the topic was already
trending on Twitter.
