Chapter 169


    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 ount 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 Inte. Eric’s throwaway


    ount also posted a simr photo of the gloves. Can you guess what the oue might be?” he


    asked Abigail.


    Netizens would think they were in a romantic rtionship. Josie had imed 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 rtionship before. If this happened again, Eric’s fans


    would likely bombard her with negativements.


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


    “Are


    you questioning my abilities?” Sean retorted.


    He could easily find out whatizens 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 rted to “Where the River Ends” and “Eric’s


    throwaway ount,”


    Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    She first clicked on Eric’s throwaway ount and found that thetest 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 ount and then


    clicked on the trending topic.


    This topic was rted to Eric’s official ount 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 Ericing out of a trailer.


    They exchanged nces 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 hering.


    “That throwaway ount…”


    “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 avable in Ragos, right?” Abigail continued. She looked at him with


    determination in her eyes.


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


    “I don’t know if they’re only avable 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 usations to smear someone.


    She understood Sean very well in some aspects. Even if he wanted topete 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 Inte.


    The online trends had shifted.


    Because of the poprity of these pink gloves, they were now avable 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 ount, 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 exnation for the online situation?”


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


    “When I checked it, the ount 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 exin it to youter.


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


    What was the point of Sean’s exnation 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.”
