Revenge After Prison Never Forgiven (Abigail) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158

Wyatt had always hoped that Abigail would end up with Sebastian.

Although Wyatt didn’t know Sebastian well, Dorian certainly did. He could tell that Dorian genuinely liked his nephew, often saying Sebastian was dependable and someone Abigail could safely entrust her future to.

At the table, Abigail and Sebastian were seated side by side. She didn’t say much, but he was every bit the gentleman.

After glancing at the menu for a moment, he said, “This foie gras with shellfish looks good. Want to try it? The texture is supposed to be great.*

“Okay.” Abigail didn’t know much about food, so she just went along with his suggestion.

Sebastian continued, “How about the lobster?”

Abigail replied, “Let’s get one.”

“You should try the grilled fish too,” Sebastian said, settling that choice with a nod. Then, he glanced sideways at her and smiled.

Their easy, intimate dynamic made Daniella burn with jealousy. She grumbled inwardly, ‘She’s got nothing, and she’s even been to prison. How is this

fair?

‘I’m the one the Gibson family groomed to be an heiress. I’m the one built from money and privilege. So why won’t Sebastian even look at me?‘

Noticing the jealousy practically leaking from Daniella’s eyes, he gave a soft cough and said coolly, “What do you want to eat?”

Daniella snapped out of her thoughts and realized he was speaking to her. Her eyes reddened slightly.

It was obvious to her that Stephen had been treating her badly these days. Even though she had taken advantage of him before, it still stung to be on the receiving end.

Eyes still rimmed with red, Daniella spoke up immediately. “Stevie, I would love to have braised veal meatballs and butter–poached prawns…”

The next second, Stephen tossed the menu at her with a look of disgust. “Order it then. What are you staring at Abby and Mr. Robinson for? What, hoping Mr. Robinson will order for you? Know your place.”

His words hit Daniella like a slap, making her wish she could sink through the floor. To make it worse, James and Warren burst out laughing.

James couldn’t help himself, chuckling, “If you weren’t such a pain in the ass, I’d actually like how blunt you are.”

Stephen rolled his eyes at James, clearly irritated. “Like I care if you like me. I’m dealing with my own people, so you can just order your damn food.”

Seeing that Daniella was on the verge of tears, Christian finally spoke up. “Come on now, Stevie. Dani is still our family. Can you watch your tone?”

With her eyes rimmed red, Daniella reached out and tugged gently at the hem of Stephen’s sleeve. Her voice came out soft. “Just let it go.”

That was when Warren turned to Wyatt and said, “You know as well as I do that your family doesn’t have the strongest foundation. The only reason I’m even sitting here is out of respect for Abby.

“If you want my project, you’ll have to get rid of the whole Gibson Group management team.”

Of course, Christian was included in that group, and he quickly protested, “You’re just a client. What gives you the right to stick your nose in and tall art. lay people off?”

Wyatt glanced at Christian and waited a moment before speaking. “What if we lay off most of them, keep a small group, and retrain them? Would that

work?”
