Chapter 288 Abigail Stood up for Anthony

• Anthony's smile had a hint of sarcasm. Then, he sipped his wine and told Abigail, "I heard that Eric is genuinely courting you. Aren't you going to consider it?" With these words, he effectively shredded Jake's misplaced self-confidence into pieces.
• "Well, I'm in Pendorf, and he's in Capitalis. If I were to consider someone, it would be someone in Pendorf," Abigail replied. She appreciated Anthony for helping her. After all, she didn't enjoy engaging in trivial conversations like this, especially since she was still concerned about her grandmother's situation and had no interest in talking to them.
• "It's kind of a disadvantage, but you're on an upward trajectory in your career right now. You have a constant stream of invitations. Moreover, the fame you gained from Lexie Chambers has a time limit. You need to focus on your career," Anthony said slowly, steering the conversation toward their professor.
