Whenever Abigail encountered Simond, the outcome was always unfavorable.
Simond turned to face Abigail, arching an eyebrow with an expression of indifference. "Long time no see," he commented.
Abigail cautiously approached the bedside, observing him with wariness. "What is the purpose of your visit?"
"Allegations regarding the Simpson Family's connection to Sean are circulating online. Why was I not informed?" Simond upheld his aloof and authoritative demeanor.
"Why not directly address the individual who made the post on Instagram but seeking Sean here?" The intensity of Abigail's hatred towards him was unmistakable.
Experiencing a slight sensation of unease, Simond furrowed his brow while observing her. After a brief pause, he let out a soft sigh. "I approached Mr. Graham to inquire about the situation. He assisted me previously, and now that he needs help. I cannot ignore his situation."
Abigail desired to voice her thoughts. She thought, Returning to Eswadia does not eliminate everything that has transpired between us. Nonetheless, there are merely two days left until the commencement of Sean's retrial.
Sean gently squeezed Abigail's hand and provided reassurance. "It is acceptable. There is no need to be concerned."
Abigail sat down and quietly opened the lunch box.
"Mr. Graham, it seems that Callen's family wields significant influence. Why not contemplate the possibility of reaching a compromise with them?" Simond made a witty remark with a smile.
Sean observed him with a cold demeanor. "Are you implying that I should act as a pawn?"
Observing the coldness in Sean's gaze, Simond became aware that he had touched upon a sensitive issue. Reflecting on Jonell's destiny, he restrained his smile. "Very well, I wish you success then."
Sean desired to seek retribution against individuals both inside and outside of Eswadia.
"What are your current intentions?" Abigail presented him with the lunch box, her countenance displaying seriousness.
"I am determined to hold accountable those individuals who attempt to incriminate me falsely." Sean responded stoically as he accepted the lunch box.
Abigail regarded him with apprehension. "Will you not be creating an excessive number of adversaries?"
"Abby, if you show fear, they will see you as weak." Sean conveyed a cherished truth. When confronted by bullies, individuals should assert themselves. Similar to schoolyard bullies, avoidance only served to encourage them. Such individuals exhibited inherent characteristics.
Abigail locked eyes with him, her gaze becoming determined. "I will stand by your side."
"Very well." Sean nodded.
"Let consume your meal expeditiously." Abigail urged, then added with a sense of anxiety. "You still need to attend the trial."
"Abby, the trial is voluntary for me. I suspect that the individuals accusing me lack legitimate authority. Nevertheless, I must continue. I can manage the situation as long as your safety is ensured." He did not fear them in the slightest. Upon facing intimidation, he resolved to eliminate them once he comprehended the situation.
