Chapter 879 Oh, Being A Man-Stealer
At noon, Abigail arranged to meet with the group in the cafeteria.
Upon leaving the office, Garrett hurried over and discreetly informed her, "The CEO of StarEntertainment is eager to meet you and is currently waiting downstairs."
Callen's family-owned Star Entertainment.
"Alright." Abigail recognized the necessity of engaging in entertainment projects until her ongoingendeavors were secure before addressing the matter involving Callen.
A middle-aged man in a suit downstairs intercepted Abigail. "Miss Alana, I have been informedextensively about you."
Abigail gazed at him. "Are you the CEO of Star Entertainment?"
"Yes, I'm Max Hinton, Callen's father," Max introduced himself.
Abigail scrutinized him with a subtle smile. "Did your wife extend the invitation for our meetingtoday?"
"The bodyguard is somewhat unruly, unaccustomed to constraints, and inclined towards arrogance,"Max responded in a good-humored manner.
"The notion that dogs mirror their owners has been a common belief, yet the Hinton Family hasexemplified this phenomenon to me." Abigail engaged in teasing behavior.
Max smiled without uttering a word.
Abigail arrived at a Western-style restaurant in a courtyard, accompanied by Max. The restaurantexuded an elegant yet upscale ambiance.
Max guided her into the premises.
A woman of middle age, dressed in a purple velvet gown, was seated at a circular table, clutching afeathered fan, exuding a pronounced Western aura.
Abigail was impressed by the woman's graceful embodiment of the 'Western flavor.'
With the woman's phoenix-like eyes focused on Abigail, she gently moved the feathered fan andspoke artificially. "Ms. Quinn, you possess a strong attitude. I extend an invitation for a meeting. Ifyou are not inclined to attend, that is acceptable. However, please refrain from provoking mybodyguard."
Abigail maintained her position, gazing down at her. "Do we have a prior acquaintance? Must Iattend simply because I received an invitation from you?"
The woman set aside her fan and forcefully struck the table. "Your father ought to demonstrate acertain respect towards me. Who do you think you are, displaying a tough demeanor in mypresence!"
"If you prefer not to be slapped, please communicate respectfully. My father's display of respecttowards you is his concern, not mine," Abigail said coldly, her gaze turned sharp.
Abigail's audacity surprised both Max and the woman.
"Alright, let us convene and engage in a composed discussion." Max attempted to alleviate thetension by offering a chair to Abigail.
Abigail assumed a seated position, elegantly crossing her legs and reclining with poise. "What's theproblem? Speak quickly, as I need to return to work promptly."
The woman, with veins slightly bulging on her hand as she held the fan, gazed at Abigail andcommented, "You are truly remarkable, Ms. Quinn!"
"Indeed, I consider myself exceptional. I have encountered challenges vastly different from thecomforts of your privileged existence," Abigail remarked with a chilly smile.
Max placed an order for food in a subdued manner.
Abigail perceived that the executive CEO possessed minimal authority within the Hinton Family,resembling more of an assistant.
"I am Mary Jane, the mother of Callen. I will not engage in circumlocution. I hope that you departfrom Sean. If you comply, his safety will be ensured. If you don't leave him, no one can protect him."Mary said with a pleased expression.
"Does Callen admire Sean's experience and subsequently develop romantic feelings for him?"Abigail expressed her disbelief with a scoff.
As Abigail concluded her speech, Callen deliberately entered the room and sat beside Mary.novelbin
Callen no longer displayed the feigned innocence that she had previously exhibited. Her eyes werenow filled with an air of arrogance. "Ms. Quinn, I have been informed that a segment of yourcompany's revenue is derived from the entertainment industry."
Abigail thought, The threat is unmistakable. She displayed a contemptuous smile. "So what? IfL.Moon doesn't generate income. Sean will nurture me. What is the nature of your concern?"
The cutting remark immediately darkened Callen's face, with a hint of jealousy flickering in her eyes."Ms. Quinn, I have previously issued a warning to you. Please don't regret this in the future. Andplease don't hold it against me for not showing you respect."
"I also advise you not to interfere with Sean and me," Abigail said calmly as she rose to leave.
Abigail thought, If Callen intends to take Sean away from me, there is no need for further timewastage.
Callen observed her departure, with jealousy visible in her eyes.

"Who does Abigail think she is? The display of arrogance in her behavior is deemed inappropriate.Max, investigates her father's company. If any problems arise, please ruin it. She requiresinstruction to learn from her actions." Mary expressed her anger to Max.
