No matter how I looked at it, it didn't seem like something that had actually happened.
Everything sounded a bit too surreal.
The Abigail I used to know would never allow anyone to turn her into a public gossip topic.
However, she had actually raced against Blair out of spite and even argued with her?
How was she doing something so childish at her age?
"What happened next?" I looked at Sophia and asked again.
Sophia shook her head helplessly. "After that... they started fighting."
"Fighting?"
I was once again shocked, feeling completely unprepared for this news.
I had thought that racing and bickering would be their limit. I never expected that something even more dramatic would follow.
What surprised me the most was that Blair, who presented herself as a lofty rich girl, would do something like this.
I felt like laughing, wondering if Blair had lost her mind.
"Samuel, I'll be honest, but you'd better not get mad at me."
Sophia was hesitant as she looked at me. "I feel like she has very strong feelings for you. Based on my intuition as a woman, I think she likes you."
"Huh?"
I shook my head helplessly. "That's impossible. I'm not some stunning, handsome guy. Do you think every girl who meets me falls in love?"
Sophia's cheeks suddenly flushed.
She looked up at me with deep admiration in her eyes, her expression unusually serious. "Samuel, you mustn't underestimate yourself like that.
"Many people in this world like you. You just don't know it."
It was an honor for Rebecca to invite me, and it also served as an important link in helping Abigail connect with her.
This proved that as long as I could make Rebecca happy, her cooperation with Abigail would be imminent.
Even if Abigail had learned about the auction, she would have probably pushed me to attend.
So, I simply agreed right away.
"Great! I'll send the electronic invitation to your phone shortly. See you at the auction."
"Okay, Ms. Sims."
After hanging up the phone, I received Rebecca's invitation.
Before I could look into it, my phone rang again with an urgent tone.
As expected, the caller was Abigail.
