Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 841 Under Pressure

During the previous episode at the Golden Triangle, Sean ended up with severe internal injuries. This time around, the gunshot wound was the most serious injury, while the nudge from the orca caused a few fractures.

"Where are you hopping off?" Reluctance filled up Abigail's heart. Just after less than half a month together, they had to be separated again.

"A country close to New Yoke," Putting down his glass, he held Abigail's hand.

Nodding, Abigail held his hand as well. "No matter what, only act after you're fully recovered. I'm going over to Luna first."

"My men have told me that she's no longer in that estate, but Eric has gone home safely," Sean said with a solemn expression.

"Eric is from the Davidson Family, after all. If anything happens to him, his parents won't just sit by without any action." Abigail reckoned that Eric's father might have done something that forced Jonell to release him.

"Once you arrive at New Yoke and the situation becomes too much for you to handle, just stay at the hotel I've prepared for you like before and leave everything to Xavien." Sean had thought about it and concluded that Abigail Quinn could take care of herself well.

"There are times I think you are overprotective of me, but I am capable enough to act together with Xavien," Abigail said.

"When I was by your side, Jonell's men were hesitant to act, but the situation is now different. If you go with Xavien, others will merely think of him as an assistant regardless of how long he has been

working for me." Sean didn't say things bluntly. Those men might underestimate Abigail simply because of her gender.

"It's going to be alright. He's your assistant, but I'm not," Abigail didn't seem to mind.

Although she knew that Sean's faked death would impact her and Xavien greatly, she was not worried about getting bullied after all that she had been through.

Sean looked at her deeply and sighed, "Nothing I say now is useful."

"I would like to do my part as well. You shouldn't be doing this alone," Abigail insisted. Luna was her best friend, and she could not let Sean shoulder all the responsibility alone.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't try to change it." Sean pulled her into his embrace.

For the remaining trip, Abigail accompanied him to watch the sea view.

When they were next to each other, the sea did not seem so vast that it made them uneasy. Instead, it was a beautiful view that calmed their minds.

"Only when I'm watching the sea with you do I think that the sea is captivating," Abigail mentioned tenderly to Sean while they watched the waves through the window.

The entire time, Sean had been staying in the cabin because of his injuries and the upcoming plans.

"Tomorrow is the day I hop off the ship," Sean said, sounding reluctant.

Abigail looked into his eyes. "I'm sure I'll recognize you through your disguise."

"If that happens, it means that my disguise is a failure." Sean smirked. "Do you believe that a person's enemies know them better than their lovers?"

Of course, Abigail believed in that saying. She breathed in deeply and said, "I kinda look forward to your disguise that looks completely like a stranger to me."

Sean's smile widened. "You'll be shocked, for sure."

On the fourth day after separating from Sean, Abigail and Xavien reached New Yoke.

"How are things ongoing with Jonell Davison?" Abigail asked Xavien after walking into the hotel.

"Nothing has been going on with him, and Luna was secretly moved. Mr. Graham wants us to negotiate with him. Meanwhile, the men he brought will press him on," Xavien said in a low voice.

Even though Abigail didn't know what Sean was planning, she went along with it. "Let's do as he wants and set up a meeting with Jonell Davison."

As Jonell was still keeping up his pretense as a businessman, it was unlikely that he would reject a meeting with her.

"Mr. Graham has the VIP elite club memberships here, so you have access to all his memberships. Let's check out the club to look for Jonell. That's right. Can you handle a few drinks?" Xavien asked politely.

"I'm alright. Although I can't take too many drinks, I won't topple with a couple of shots," Abigail replied, knowing that drinking was inevitable at the club.

Xavien was relieved. "I'll save you regardless of what happens."

"All you have to do is take care of yourself when you're by my side." After saying that, Abigail turned into her room.

As Xavien watched her from behind, he recalled the way she fearlessly took off her jacket to distract the criminals.

She's quite something, he thought. Now I know why Mr. Graham enjoys chasing her so much over the years.

However, he couldn't imagine having a girl like Abigail despite the fact that he wanted a bold girlfriend.

In the evening, Abigail and Xavien went to the elite club.

Dressed in simple, smart, casual attire, she turned heads with her stunning features the moment she entered the room.

Jones recognized Abigail from Sean's phone because her picture was his screensaver.

When Jones recalled that news of Sean's accident at sea had already spread like bushfires across the world, he raised his brows and didn't approach Abigail in the end.

He once thought that knowing Sean could benefit him greatly in many ways. To his dismay, Sean acted so unpredictably and went off to Southern East to fight pirates. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Abigail didn't notice Jones in the same room at all. Instead, she had her eyes on Jonell nearby.
