Chapter 149 Different Addresses

Anthony glanced up from his phone to look at Sean.

“Can we really find out? The entertainment industry operates in secrecy. Once you expose them, your

own career could be ruined,” he cautioned. He had considered this method before, but he had. asked

industry professionals who had told him that if it was Laura, it must have been her company pulling the

strings behind the scenes. With a big company involved, they wouldn’t leave any evidence, and they

had already found a scapegoat to shoulder the blame, leaving themselves and Laura spotless.

“We just need to find out the evidence that Abby didn’t buy the trending topic for herself,” Sean replied,

his tone less gentle when speaking to Anthony.

Anthony nodded and lowered his gaze back to his phone.

At that, Sean reassured Abigail. “Leave it to me. Focus on your work on set.”

Abigail’s emotions were all over the place. If he had realized this sooner, she wouldn’t have had to go

this far. If he hadn’t let Joan run wild, she wouldn’t have had to join this crew and get into 50 much

trouble.

Anthony’s gaze shifted between Abigail and Sean. After a while, he noticed that Sean cared a lot.

about Abigail, but she was very indifferent to Sean.

Hundreds of years ago, it was normal for cousins to marry, but in modern times, it wasn’t acceptable.

Sean’s feelings for Abigail were obviously abnormal.

During the meal, Lewis suddenly said to Sean, “Even if we find out, it might not make much of a

difference. Many people face this kind of thing. Even if it’s eventually cleared up, the impact of negative

news can’t be completely erased.”

“Exactly, because some netizens read the negative news but won’t bother to look at the clarification. In

their memories, they’ll only remember the negative information about this person.” Luke nodded in

agreement.

Abigail calmly added, “Since we’re in this industry to make money, we’re bound to encounter such

things. As long as it doesn’t affect our earnings, it’s fine.”

The entire entertainment industry thrived on exposure, but exposure itself was prone to backlash.

Trying to thrive in this industry while staying unscathed was too difficult.

If it was indeed Laura and her company behind this, L.Moon would take action too.

After the meal, Sean pulled Abigail aside. When Anthony, Luke, and the others left, he spoke with a

serious expression. “Can you stay away from Anthony?”

“Anthony just arrived on set today. Do you think he, as an investor who’s trying to make money, has

nothing better to do?” Abigail asked calmly.

“So, you’re saying I have nothing better to do?” Sean became displeased at that.

Abigail merely stared at him. “I’m happy when you help me, but even if you don’t, I have my ways. to

handle things.”

Sean smirked cynically. “Your way is to let Anthony help you. You want to let another man assist you.”

His words ignited a fire within Abigail. She bit her lip and remained silent for a moment before asking,

“In your eyes, am I really that useless?”

Sean quickly thought of Abigail’s previous actions on the show, which had caused problems for him.

and Joan.

Even now, Joan’s foray into the entertainment industry couldn’t be openly publicized, no matter which

set she went to for a guest appearance.

“Well, not quite. You’re the first one to put me in such a predicament.” Sean’s gaze turned icy.

Abigail looked at him before letting out a long breath. “I appreciate your help, but if you don’t help me, I

can handle it myself. It’s Anthony’s personal choice to do what he wants, just like you. You didn’t ask

for my opinion either.”

“You know that Anthony and I don’t get along-”

“Sean, are you kidding me? What does your relationship with him have to do with me? I don’t get along

with Joan either, but you also shipped her off to the neighboring set in Millstone. Do you think I don’t

know?” Abigail coldly interrupted Sean.

Sean was displeased at being cut off. “Can’t we have a decent conversation?”

Abigail couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re quite amusing. Do you think we can have a decent

conversation? I have things to attend to. If you want to come to Millstone to see Joan, you don’t have to

go out of your way and use me as a decoy.”

Sean caught up with Abigail and grabbed her wrist. “Why do you think I’m here to see her? Abigail

“You’re quite good at pretending. For the sake of preserving the little dignity you have as a man, call

me ‘Abby’ in front of Anthony, but behind closed doors, you use my full name!” Abigail

said, then shook him off.

you

She ran off quickly.

Sean did care somewhat about his image, so he couldn’t sprint after her. He could only watch her

1. Frustrated, he tugged at his tie. “She’s so ungrateful!”

Abigail returned to the set, patting her chest. Just as she turned, she was startled by the sudden

appearance of Anthony in front of her.

“Is there a wild beast chasing you from behind?” Anthony feigned curiosity and glanced behind her.

Abigail put down her hand that was patting her chest and gave a wry smile. “No, you… Aren’t you

busy?”

Upon hearing this, Anthony immediately showed a hurt expression. “Are you trying to chase me

away?”

“You’re saying it like-” Abigail’s expression was tinged with helplessness.

“I’m an investor coming to inspect the set’s environment. Such a situation has already happened twice.

If we don’t nab a case and deal with it decisively, and if the crew has too many problems, it will leave a

very bad impression on the audience,” Anthony frowned as he explained.

Abigail looked at him and suddenly asked, “Do you want to replace Laura in this role?”
