I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean)

Chapter 880 Acting Against

Max promptly placed a phone call.

"Mom, I humbly request that you refrain from being distressed as the responsibility for this situation lies solely with me." Callen delicately took hold of Mary's arm and attempted to display charm.

Mary gazed at her, emitting a sigh of helplessness, and spoke indulgently. "Sean may seem more appealing, yet he is presently in a relationship with Abigail, both of whom are in their second marriage. In addition to not having children, they appear to be a contentedly married couple. How can he be compared to you?"

"His overseas encounters are genuinely noteworthy. He presents a resilient facade alongside a tender aspect. Such a combination is rather uncommon. If he were to pursue another woman, I would perceive him as having lost his appeal, and my interest in him would diminish." Callen earnestly conveyed her thoughts regarding Sean.

Mary delicately touched her head. "You are maturing and contemplating the prospect of seeking a life partner. I used to have concerns that you were overly dedicated to your career and might never establish a stable personal life."

"If I have not yet encountered the appropriate individual, it is only natural that I would lack interest." Callen positioned herself against Mary's shoulder, murmuring in a gentle tone. "Mom, have you observed his actions towards Abigail on Valentine's Day? I observed it directly. It was remarkably romantic, and it would surely touch any woman."

"This demonstrates the depth of his feelings for Abigail. Even if one succeeds in gaining his favor, it may not necessarily result in happiness." Mary articulated her concerns.

"We will assess the situation further. Once he acknowledges my exceptional qualities, he will recognize Abigail's inferiority." Callen confidently asserted.

Callen thought, I had displayed exceptional qualities from a young age, and all my suitors, including from Capitalis to Franck, acknowledged this fact. Sean is not an exception! If I am kind to him, he will also grow to recognize my outstanding qualities.

Upon Abigail's return to the company, Garrett informed her that the drama crew intended to replace Irene's team.

"Only twenty per cent of the deposit has been paid. However, our clothing has already entered production, leading to losses of approximately 300 thousand." Garrett's demeanor appeared severe.

"What are the stipulations outlined in the contract?" Abigail inquired with a furrowed brow.

"The contract stipulates that the responsible party is obligated to compensate for any losses incurred in the event of a breach. The drama crew is reluctant to provide compensation and proposes resorting to legal measures." Garrett expressed his frustration with a sigh.

Abigail thought, The Hinton Family is initiating some form of action. Legal proceedings are characterized by their time-consuming nature, the minimal compensation awarded, and the depletion of resources.

After a moment of contemplation, Abigail gave instructions to Garrett. "Let us advance with the legal action. I will take care of the remaining tasks."

Abigail proceeded to access her Instagram account, tagged the official account of the drama crew, and made an inquiry regarding the situation.

Shortly after that, the drama crew asserted that the quality of the clothing was below standard. 'The quality of the clothing is substandard and does not meet our specifications. There were also unauthorized items included in the mix. We will not engage in future collaborations with L. Moon.'Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Abigail read the response, maintained silence briefly, and logged out of Instagram.

Upon entering the office, Irene appeared fatigued, her gaze meeting Abigail's. She displayed an expression indicating self-blame. "I made an error. I sincerely apologize."

"It's not your responsibility. Take a break. There could be alterations in the crew's projects." Abigail passed a bottle of water to her. "You have exerted significant effort."

"Okay, what occurred?" Irene felt bewildered after being dismissed from the drama crew earlier that day.

As the crew's designer, Irene made temporary adjustments to the actor's costumes. She was dismissed and continued to perceive it as a result of her lack of ability. She experiences a profound sense of guilt due to her perception of her design skills as being insufficient. Despite Abigail's considerate guidance, she still felt inadequate, which hindered her ability to design based on historical accuracy. She experienced a period of disheartenment.

"Our company is currently facing challenges, and there is a possibility that orders from the entertainment industry could be suspended." Abigail emitted a soft sigh, experiencing a slight sense of sympathy towards Irene.

Abigail thought, This is the sole path for Irene's advancement, despite her bearing the repercussions stemming from the company's circumstances.

"Well, that is acceptable. I thought I had made an error." Irene spoke in a soft tone.

Irene demonstrated excellence in all areas, diligence in her tasks, resilience in facing challenges, and a positive attitude. Nevertheless, Abigail observed declining confidence since Irene joined the company.

"Irene, the design path may present more challenges for you than others. It's challenging to advance when someone feels inadequate about the skills they depend on for survival," Abigail remarked calmly while resting her chin on her hand.

Irene inadvertently increased her hold on the mineral water bottle.

"To create something that others will appreciate, an individual must possess self-love, determination, and confidence. If one is dissatisfied with their work, others will likely share the same sentiment," Abigail continued.

Irene took a deep breath and said, "I will make adjustments."

"For the next steps, I'll provide updates later. Take a few days to rest and readjust," Abigail said gently before granting Irene some time off.

Shortly after Irene left, Kevin called Abigail.

"I am en route to your company. The drama crew reportedly obstructed Irene's team from engaging in clothing design. What is happening?" Kevin had invested in that team on behalf of Irene.

"They are targeting me. You appear to be knowledgeable." Abigail uttered with a smile.

"By whom are you being targeted? D*mn it, I even invested money!" Kevin expressed his frustration by using profanity.

"Subsequently, your investment will be rendered futile. That team displays a lack of shame," Abigail stated calmly.

"Let us ascertain whether I will accept this defeat." Kevin made a declaration before concluding the phone conversation.

Abigail set aside her phone and directed her staff to inventory the garments they had manufactured in readiness to respond to the drama crew.
