I Want a Divorce by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 169 Intricate Connections

Abigail and the other actors chatted together while standing at a distance.

After a while, her phone rang.

It was a call from Sean. She answered while walking away slowly.

“What’s the matter?” Her voice was cold.

“Eric’s throwaway account has been exposed and the crew knows nothing about it?” Sean’s voice was

filled with anger.

Abigail immediately became alert. “What happened?”

“A few days ago, Josie posted a photo of the gloves he bought on the Internet. Eric’s throwaway

account also posted a similar photo of the gloves. Can you guess what the outcome might be?” he

asked Abigail.

Netizens would think they were in a romantic relationship. Josie had claimed that she borrowed the

gloves from Abigail, so Abigail would be rumored to be dating Eric.

Abigail had already been rumored to be in a relationship before. If this happened again, Eric’s fans

would likely bombard her with negative comments.

“Are you sure it’s Eric’s throwaway account?” Abigail asked immediately.

“Are

you questioning my abilities?” Sean retorted.

He could easily find out what netizens could discover.

“Tell Director Lewis about it. I’ll check online,” Abigail said. She wasn’t sure about the current situation

online.

Sean remained silent for a moment before asking, “Do you believe Eric has feelings for you?”

“He only sees me as a friend,” Abigail replied. He had asked her the same question a few days ago,

and there was no way he could suddenly develop feelings for her.

Besides, it seemed too inexplicable for him to develop feelings for her.

Sean let out a cold snort and hung up the phone.

Abigail opened Instagram and found trending topics related to “Where the River Ends” and “Eric’s

throwaway account,”

She first clicked on Eric’s throwaway account and found that the latest post was about the gloves,

paired with the song “Where the River Ends.”

That song… it was Abigail’s ringtone, which she had been using for many years.

She felt a cold sweat breaking out on her back as she exited Eric’s throwaway account and then

clicked on the trending topic.

This topic was related to Eric’s official account and an Instagram post from three years ago.

Abigail looked at the date of the Instagram post that Eric had made but couldn’t remember anything

significant about that day.

She had been standing in the snow, and when she turned around, she saw Eric coming out of a trailer.

They exchanged glances from a distance, and she decided to walk over to him.

He was there to meet Director Lewis, but he approached her when he saw her coming.

“That throwaway account…”

“It’s not me.” Eric interrupted Abigail.

Abigail frowned. “Sean found out that it was you.”

“Are you sure?” Eric asked Abigail as a faint smile appeared on his face. “I became friends with you,

and he wasn’t happy about it. I know that.”

“The gloves are only available in Ragos, right?” Abigail continued. She looked at him with

determination in her eyes.

Even if she hadn’t figured it out, the netizens would have.

“I don’t know if they’re only available in Ragos. Director Lewis is looking for me, so I have to go now,

Eric said gently before walking away without looking back.

Could it really be that Sean was lying?

However, Abigail couldn’t help but believe Sean in this matter. She didn’t believe he would resort to

baseless accusations to smear someone.

She understood Sean very well in some aspects. Even if he wanted to compete for something, he

wouldn’t resort to baseless smears.

After Eric finished talking with Lewis, they got to work within a few minutes.

His performance was better than ever, and Lewis praised him repeatedly.

During a break, Abigail took out her phone to browse the Internet.

The online trends had shifted.

Because of the popularity of these pink gloves, they were now available in many physical stores in cold

cities across the country. Some fans of Eric and Josie had even started reselling them.

As for the so-called Eric’s throwaway account, it turned out to be a stranger from a city thousands of

miles away. His personal information was exposed, and people had already reported him to the police.

Abigail sent a message to Sean.

“What’s your explanation for the online situation?”

She believed Sean, but the things she had seen told a different story.

“When I checked it, the account was registered to his phone number, Sean replied to Abigail.

Are you saying that he managed to leave no trace for anyone to find by changing his phone number

and identity information in just two hours?”

Abigail felt that unless Eric had a deep connection with Instagram staff, it would be impossible to erase

all traces like that and it was undetectable even by Sean.

“Anything is possible with money, Sean replied.

‘I trust you, but what I’ve seen with my own eyes makes it hard for me to believe you. I’ve always

believed that you wouldn’t resort to smearing someone.”

Her message was followed by a phone call from Sean.

I’m at work, so I can only send messages.”

After she rejected the call, Sean replied to her, ‘I’ll explain it to you later.

Abigail didn’t really want to hear his explanation anymore.

What was the point of Sean’s explanation for her?

She didn’t reply to Sean’s message.

After work, Josie told Abigail nervously. “I’m afraid something will happen. I won’t take random photos

anymore.”

“Is anyone criticizing you?” Abigail was still feeling guilty about the situation she had inadvertently

caused, which had nearly dragged Josie into the center of public opinion.

Josie was about to respond when she saw Sean approaching from a distance. She whispered to

Abigail; “Your cousin is here. I’ll leave first.”
