Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 585

Okay, she saw Twitter too. "He didn't do anything to me. It's the other way around. I'm the PIC for HQ. There's no way he could do anything to me," said Abigail nonchalantly. She didn't care at all.

Luna was worried. "Did he do something stupid? Like, bad stupid? I knew he was a short-sighted guy who couldn't stay patient. Can't believe he's back to his old self after only months."

"Me neither. If I'd known he was this kind of guy, I'd have never let him be Fairy Meadow's CEO," said Abigail, a little regretful.

"Can't you terminate him?" asked Luna.

"There's a contract in effect, and he did help us. If it weren't for his greed, we couldn't have taken over Fairy Meadow," said Abigail. Ugh, now the double-edged sword is coming for us.

Luna sighed. "So, what happened between you two? How'd you get into this argument?"

"He took some bribes and fell for their extortion. The lady wants to sue him. With how popular Fairy Meadow is, if its CEO is found embroiled in a sexual assault charge, L.Moon and Fairy Meadow will be hit hard," said Abigail, resigned.

The internet had high demands for brands that were doing business. The netizens wouldn't stop their crusade until Howard was terminated, but the contract stopped them from doing that.

Luna cursed, "Why the f*ck does he like money so much? Doesn't he care about his reputation? He gets a ton of money from Fairy Meadow's dividends anyway. The company's raking it in. He thinks that's not enough?"

"He's greedy. No one's going to say no to more money," said Abigail coolly.

Sean listened in silence.

The call came to an end. Abigail stood up and yawned. "Let's go home."

"There might be an opening coming soon. If it's extortion, then there must be proof of it," said Sean slowly.

Abigail said, "Maybe. I hope Howard learns a lesson from this. I hope he gets cursed after this gets exposed. Then we'll clarify things in the end."

"We can do this. I can tell Xavien to send someone and liaise with the girl who wants to sue. This kind of extortion needs money to run. If we can pay the lady more, she'll sell out Adam." Sean knew how to deal with matters like this.

Abigail looked at him. "I expected nothing less from a cunning schemer like you."

Sean smiled. "I'll take that as a compliment."

"If Xavien's men can deal with this, I'll pay them," said Abigail.

"Sure. You have his number. Just ask him what happens when you want to know." Sean didn't decline. He knew Abigail didn't want to owe him anything.

They came out of the restaurant. Sean turned around. "I'll stay at the hospital tonight to keep an eye on Analise. You get back to the company and have some rest. Come back tomorrow to take my place."

Abigail nodded. She called Cameron to come with her.
