Chapter 726 Built Happiness on My Best Friend's Pain

Seeing that the anger had just calmed down and was about to explode again, Colin kicked Abbot under the table.

Abbot gasped in pain and was about to get angry. Then, he saw Colin curling up his lips and asked with a faint smile "Are you not done yet with thirty years of being single?" Abbot was speechless.

A real man wouldn't argue with the woman that he loved out of anger.

Colin's words touched the raw nerve of Abbot.

Abbot pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to take the teacup in front of him, and brought it to his mouth. Then, he swallowed the rest of his words along with the tea.

After Rebecca finished speaking, she saw that Abbot didn't talk back. She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and turned to talk to Faye.

Rebecca was in an intense chat with Faye. At the same time, Abbot wasn't idling as well. After he put down the teacup, he told Colin the ins and outs of the conflict between Rebecca and him. The overall situation was that Rebecca made a deal, but the other party was having an ulterior motive.

Since the other party was a man, Abbot knew what was his thought in his mind.

He could know his intention and dirty thoughts about Rebecca with a glance.

Abbot was aggrieved when he spoke. He was very upset but he didn't dare to speak too loud since he was worried that he might lose his girlfriend if she got to hear it.

After Abbot finished his story, he asked Colin, "Colin, do you think I should be blamed for this?"

Colin lowered his head and adjusted his shirt cuffs. Then, he chuckled and said, "Who should be the person to be blamed if it isn't you? Rebecca?"

Abbot replied, "Why me?"

Colin rolled up his cuffs to his elbows, looked up at Abbot, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If I were you, I'd let Rebecca sign the contract."

Abbot was confused.

Colin explained, "It's common that people will not stop until they reach their goal. They won't simply give up that much hopes they have. How are you going to make her believe in something that has not happened yet?"

Hearing that, Abbot thought for a while and he said, "Then, what if something bad happens to her?

Colin teased, "You aren't going to stand still. Aren't you?"

Abbot was speechless.

Colin took the pot, poured tea into Abbot's cup, and said, "The right way to protect a person is when she is going to fall, you hold onto her."

After Colin finished speaking, he paused for a while deliberately. Then, he looked and Abbot and continued, "The way you are doing it isn't protecting her but cutting off all her job offers."

Those who knew the inside story would know that Abbot was angry because the other party was having bad intentions toward Rebecca.

However, those who didn't know the inside story would think that Abbot was just being jealous and didn't want Rebecca to work with another man.

With Abbot's influence in Cocanel, he would be powerful enough to cut all job offers to Rebecca.

Abbot was blinded by jealousy, but Rebecca was able to see the whole picture.

That was the reason why Rebecca was being so angry.

After those explanations, Abbot seemed to have a lot on his mind. He frowned without saying a word.

Colin was tapping his fingers on the table to bring Abbot back to his senses, "Apologize with sincerity later and say something nice. Just do what you are supposed to do including kneel." Abbot looked at him and asked, "Kneeling again?"

Colin snorted lightly, "You just have to put your ego down. Do you know what Ethan is doing now?"

Abbot was driven by curiosity and asked, "What?"

Colin answered, "Pretending to be a joker at Ms. Rowan's house."

Pretending to be a joker and pretending to put down one's ego were two different things.

Hearing Colin's words, Abbot's eyes lit up, and asked, "Really?"

Colin smirked, "Call him to find it out if you don't believe me."

Abbot was feeling very much aggrieved that night. But when he heard that Ethan was even more aggrieved than him, he eased up immediately.

When Abbot was laughing, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Ethan's number.

After the call was connected, Ethan's deep and cold voice came from the other end, "Abbot." Abbot asked, "Mr. Bond, how are you doing?"

Ethan replied in a calm and somewhat solemn tone, "Playing chess with Violet's grandmother."

Abbot held back his smile when he heard that and continued, "Such a good boy."

Ethan paused for a while. Then, he answered, "We'll talk after I get back."

Abbot could tell that Ethan wanted to hang up the phone. He didn't it happened as Ethan wished and said, "Tsk. Ethan, why does your voice sound so cowardly?" Ethan responded, "I'll hang up first if there's nothing else."

Hearing that Ethan wanted to hang up the call, Abbot couldn't help but laughed out loud and said, "Ethan, seems like you are going through some hardships!"

Before Ethan could reply, Abbot heard Violet's voice from the other end of the phone. She asked, "Ethan, would you like some tea or water?"

Ethan responded calmly, "Water."

Violet said, "Okay."

After a while, Violet probably handed over the water to Ethan. Abbot could hear Ethan saying "thank you" on the other end of the phone.

Violet whispered, "You're welcome. I should thank you for keeping my grandma company. My grandma is notorious for being a bad chess player and no one is willing to play chess with her. I'm glad that you are here."

Ethan lied calmly, "That's not true. Grandma is good at chess."

After Ethan finished speaking, Violet responded with a smile, "Okay. I believe you two are as good."

Ethan also smiled and said, "Yes."

Abbot was no longer hearing any noise after Ethan finished speaking with Violet. He continued with a "tsk" and said, "Ethan, this is the first time I realize that you are even more cowardly than Colin after getting to know you for so many years."

Ethan didn't respond.

Abbot said again, "It's clear that you have wild intentions, but you still pretend to be a caring person. I don't know how Ms. Rowan will feel after knowing the truth."

After Abbot finished speaking, Ethan said in a calm voice, "Your company's affairs are a bit complicated. I'll need to have a meeting with you when I get back."

After that, Ethan pressed the hung-up button without waiting for Abbot's response.

Abbot was speechless.
