Ch. 461..470

I Want a Divorce Chapter 461-Actions Under the Table In that split second, a red handprint appeared on Sean’s leg. He glanced at it and muttered, “That was quite some strength you used.” Abigail could have seen him as soon as she turned around, but she chose to keep her back to him since she didn’t want to see his face.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo was busy telling the restaurant staff to move the tables, chairs, and decorations. Sean also went to help. The duo talked about something, and Abigail was curious about their conversation. However, she couldn’t hear a thing since the waves drowned out their voices.

After everything was set up, Sean called out to Abigail. “Come over and order some food.” eyes.

Reluctantly, Abigail got up, feeling uneasy about the fact that Sean had bought her these clothes. She walked over to the table and looked at the menu. When she saw the prices, she couldn’t believe her She counted the digits again and realized nearly everything was priced in five figures. In that split second, she lost her appetite. After all, even food made of gold couldn’t have such a price.

Seeing that Abigail had an odd expression as she looked at the menu, Sean leaned over and said, “This cruise is modeled after a luxury European cruise.

While the chefs here might not have as many Micheli stars, there are a total of ten stars among the three chefs. That’s why the food is expensive.” Abigail gave him a skeptical look before ordering a few items that were relatively cheaper. Then, she handed the menu back to the waiter. On the other hand, Ronaldo frowned as he looked at the menu. After some time, he ordered a few dishes he liked. Sean also made some random selections and returned the menu to the waiter. Then, the staff served them wine, beverages, fruits, and appetizers.

Since Abigail thought the appetizer was complimentary, she didn’t think much and ate it. She felt the taste was great but slightly strange. It was when the main course was served, and the menu was brought back for them to see that Abigail realized the appetizers, fruits, and drinks were all on the bill, all of which Sean had ordered. Yet, he hadn’t taken a single sip or bite; everything went to her.

At that moment, Abigail felt awkward and wished she could vanish into thin air.

After all, all she thought was to finish all the food since the meal was expensive.

“Aren’t you guys supposed to discuss business? Since all the food has arrived, you can talk now,” Sean said to Abigail once the waiter left.

“Why discuss business over a meal?” Abigail replied with a stern expression.

Then, she started to enjoy the food she had ordered.

Since she didn’t want to discuss it, Ronaldo couldn’t force her either.

Sean took a piece of beef and looked at Abigail. “Since you are here to seek help, you might as well be upfront about it instead of wasting time,” he grumbled Abigail glared at him and retorted, “Can’t I eat in peace Why are you so talkative?” Ronaldo laughed.

Who bought this outfit I’m wearing? Abigail looked at Ronaldo coldly.

Ronaldo lowered his head and ate his fish. Then, he mumbled. “We bought it together…” “It was me who bought it, alright?” Sean openly admite Ronaldo quickly swallowed the fish and added, “I helped by giving some suggestions. Although I wasn’t the one who paid for it, I provided lots of opinions.” “Did Sean threaten you to say that?” Abigail scoffed.

Sean put a piece of beef in his mouth before changing the subject abruptly. “Do you know what kind of beef this is?” Abigail kicked him, but Sean remained unmoved.

“I only know it’s imported beef. It is a high-end ingredient specifically made for upscale restaurants,” Ronaldo quickly chimed in.

Abigail glared at Sean angrily.

“This is Blue Belriam beef. The muscles on this type of cow are as strong as those bodybuilders.” As Sean spoke, he showed her the picture on his phone.

Abigail glanced at the picture and noticed the cow was indeed quite muscular, exuding a wild and powerful aura.

Then, Sean gave two pieces of beef to Abigail. “Try it. It’s delicious,” he said softly.

Abigail was about to return the food when Ronaldo said, “You’ll likely get a bacteria infection if you keep exchanging the food. Maybe you should just eat it.” His words sounded rather repulsive. Abigail had no choice but to listen to him.

Sean added, “Let’s talk now. I won’t be involved in it. I’m just a listener.” Abigail sighed inwardly and asked Ronaldo, “How much capital do you have on hand?” “Are you asking for another loan?” Ronaldo asked with a pained expression.

While L.Moon had been consistently profitable, it hadn’t been as profitable as he had hoped. Nevertheless, he was willing to do business with Abigail. It was just that this private borrowing didn’t seem like a conventional business endeavor.

“Yes. I’m considering buying Fairy Meadow and using it as a brand for L.Moon.

How much can you offer?” Abigail did not beat around the bush since they had worked together multiple times. Being polite only seemed to create distance.

Hearing their conversation, Sean couldn’t help but say, “I’d like to add that Fairy Meadow is a well- established brand with many years of history. Even if it’s not at its best, buying such a brand would still cost at least 40 million.” “Fonty million? I don’t have that much!” Ronaldo cried out.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 462-You Know What I Want Sean continued, “When I mentioned 40 million, that was just a baseline. It isn’t the maximum amount.” Ronaldo looked at Abigail with a woeful expression. “I have 68 thousand at most. I’ve pretty much emptied my allowance, Abigail.” Abigail found Sean’s alarmist behavior rather irritating. She shot him a disapproving glance and said, “Can you stop scaring others?” “I’m not scaring him. Fairy Meadow is a well-established brand with a ten-year history and a glorious past. Without a substantial investment, you can’t take it down.” Sean replied as he took a sip of his wine.

Abigail frowned and didn’t respond.

“Is Fairy Meadow necessary for you?” Ronaldo asked. If he gave all his money to Abigail, he would have very little left for himself. He had enough money to spend on his daily entertainment, but his gaming habits involved hefty sums, often starting at 14 million. He couldn’t have his friends suspect he was broke if they realized he did not have enough money to spend on gaming.

“It’s necessary. L.Moon needs a brand, but building one from scratch is hard.

Fairy Meadow has a good reputation among the public. Acquiring it under these circumstances will bring more benefits than downsides to L.Moon,” Abigail replied.

Over the years, Fairy Meadow barely had any negative publicity, and it had a decent customer base. L.Moon could quickly revamp the brand and turn it into a profitable venture.

“If you need this money, I can borrow it,” Ronaldo commented. Looking at Abigail’s determined gaze, he knew she wouldn’t change her mind. Plus, he trusted her judgment. If buying Fairy Meadow wouldn’t create a considerable profit, she wouldn’t be willing to invest much time and effort in this.

“I have a plan,” Sean announced. “You don’t need to spend that much money, and you won’t have to worry about my participation either.” Abigail looked at him and was about to respond when she heard Ronaldo ask hastily. “What’s the plan? Tell us!” Seeing Ronaldo so excited, Abigail kept quiet.

“Call Howard out. I’ll talk to him about this,” Sean said as he looked into Abigail’s eyes.

After hearing his words, Ronaldo wondered what kind of plan this was. Instead of a plan, it was as if Sean was trying to flatter someone else.

Abigail frowned and said, “Can’t I go talk to him?” “The most significant problem with L.Moon right now is that there’s no one to rein in Fairy Meadow. Plus, given Luna’s relationship with Josh, do you think Howard isn’t affected by it?” Sean asked as he took a spoon.

Abigail couldn’t refute Sean’s point. After all, Luna had openly announced her new romance with Josh three days after breaking up with Howard Even if Howard didn’t express it, he would undoubtedly have been upset about this matter.

“Why don’t you let him give it a try? It can’t be all about spending money,” Ronaldo buried out.

1/2 n “I’ll go with you. If you want any benefit from it, tell me now. I won’t refuse.” Abigail looked at Sean and eventually acquiesced. After all, it was unfair to put all the pressure on Ronaldo.

“I had already told you what I wanted. Just remember them,” Sean said nonchalantly.

Abigail remembered them, but she wouldn’t partner with Eric. Thus, Sean’s benefits meant nothing.

As she thought about it, Ronaldo couldn’t help but ask, “What are the benefits?

Are they hard to achieve?” His voice snapped Abigail back to her senses, and she said to him, “Alright. I still need you to lend me some money in case of an emergency. Once I take down Fairy Meadow, you’ll get a more substantial share. of the profits.” “Okay, but I have a condition-you need to use my pearls in your designs. This way, my pearls will be famous along with your design.” Ronaldo grinned.

“No problem. Keep your best pearls for me,” Abigail stated.

Sean was displeased upon hearing that. After all, it seemed that anyone could collaborate with Abigail except him.

Abigail glanced at Sean and added, “I’ll remember what you said. Once we get back. I’ll go see Howard with you.” She had thought it over, and Sean’s request didn’t have any impact on her. With Sean changing his mind multiple times, there was no need to be difficult because of his current favor.

Seeing that she had agreed to his request, Sean smiled in satisfaction.

Abigail and Ronaldo finished their lunch and lay side by side on the beach chairs. He was engrossed in gaming on his phone.

“You have to save me 140 million. I still need to spend it on my games,” Ronaldo muttered while playing.

Abigail, who was admiring the scenery, abruptly sat up after hearing his words.

“What kind of game requires such lavish spending? One hundred and forty million spent in-game? You’ll never find a wife if you’re this much of a spendthrift.” Ronaldo shivered at her words and said, “You sound just like my mom.” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Sean glared at him when he heard that Abigail could be Ronaldo’s mother at such a young age.

“It’s just a metaphor. I’m not spending it all at once. Sometimes, I may spend a bit more, like a couple thousand. Besides, I make my own money. What’s wrong with spending it?” Ronaldo started to pout as he explained.

Abigail leaned closer to his phone and noticed it was the same game that Sean had recommended to her carlier “Oh, I participated in this game Did you buy the outfit I designed? Abigail asked with a smile

I Want a Divorce Chapter 463-Why Did You Snatch My Phone Away?

“Of course! I’ve purchased numerous sets and given them to my friends. Don’t worry. Your share of the profits won’t be left out!” Ronaldo acted like a rich and naive person with too much money.

Abigail patted his shoulder and said, “Thank you for your contribution.” Even though she thanked him, she didn’t know how much money she received from the game since Luna was in charge of the finances.

“No need to thank me. Now, do you know why I invest in the game?” Ronaldo was quite pleased.

Abigail found it difficult to assess. Nevertheless, the pleasure of the rich was spending money.

She lay back down comfortably and listened to the soothing sound of the waves, preparing for a nap.

On the other hand, Ronaldo kept talking. “Why don’t you play with me? I’ll top up 14 million for you. It’ll be so cool! Other players will even address you respectfully.” Abigail hummed and said, “I’m too busy.” “I’ll play for you. With your celebrity status, you can make a lot of money if you live-stream playing games. You’ll also get some business opportunities. I know a streamer who did that,” he said chirpily.

Slowly, Abigail drifted off to sleep. The waves were hypnotic, and she hadn’t been this relaxed in a long time.

Sean noticed that Abigail had fallen asleep and whispered, “You can lower your voice, but don’t stop.” “What now?” Ronaldo grumbled, appearing displeased.

“Provide some background noise for us to take a good nap,” Sean said as he put on his sunglasses, intending to take a short nap as well.

Ronaldo fumed in anger. “Won’t I be exhausted from this? This is an inhuman thing to do!” “About your car…” “Fine. I’ll start a live stream and chat with my fans. Just go ahead and sleep!” Ronaldo said through gritted teeth. He had realized why the Pearson Family couldn’t compete with Sean. After all, the man was genuinely shameless as he exploited others’ vulnerabilities.

The sound of the waves, combined with the occasional call of seagulls, accompanied the visuals of beautiful women and handsome men strolling past Ronaldo’s camera on the luxury cruise ship. Soon, his livestream had many viewers. Most of them were wealthy people. Ronaldo spoke in a moderate volume, and he even reminded the others to keep their voices down when they passed by.

“Why do they have to keep their voices down? You usually weren’t careful about such things” “Exactly! You’re there on vacation. Why not just relax and enjoy it? You can explore the cruise and have some fun!

I envy the lives of the wealthy so much. This is a cruise ship with ten Michelin stars. I’ve heard that the cheapest meal on board costs at least two thousand Ronaldo read the comments and replied, “We need to keep our voices down because I have someone sleeping next to me. As for the cruise it’s overpriced, anil I hnd the food quality to b. mediocre. Id preter street-side barbecue. Then, he glanced around enre no one was nearby betore whispering. “I won’t 1/2 be coming here again. It doesn’t suit me.” ‘Am I the only one curious about who he is talking about? Are they your friends?” “They are my patrons and also my goddess,” he said in a low voice.

Sean was a light sleeper. When he heard Ronaldo’s words, he couldn’t help but open his eyes to take a look.

He heard Ronaldo quickly explain things as if there was a misunderstanding among the fans. “It’s the same. as if you adore an idol! My family is mainly involved in business. In my dad’s generation, only my uncle. received an education, and the rest of the family was illiterate. That’s why my dad likes artistic people. He regards them as big shots, and my dad influenced me to have a lot of respect for artists. Don’t talk nonsense. These people are genuinely talented, and I consider her as my idol. You guys know nothing.” Ronaldo’s tone was earnest, revealing a pure foolishness.

Upon hearing his words, Sean relaxed his tense body.

After he and Abigail divorced, she had many admirers everywhere she went, which concerned him much. Fortunately, Ronaldo was only infatuated with her artistic talents and treated her as an idol. Otherwise, Sean would have another love rival.

After about an hour, Abigail woke up from her nap. At that moment, Ronaldo was engrossed in a game.

“Run! Run! Damn it! I’m being surrounded.” Abigail sat up and stretched her body. Then, she got up and headed to the restroom.

At that moment, her figure appeared in the livestream as she walked past the deck chair where Ronaldo lounged.

Ronaldo was startled and quickly covered his phone. He turned to Abigail and scolded, “Why didn’t you say anything when you woke up? I’m live-streaming!” Abigail was in the process of tying her hair into a ponytail when she heard Ronaldo’s complaint. She turned to him and said, “What’s wrong with it? Just continue what you’re doing. It’s not like I’m going to disturb you.” Then, she went into the cruise ship.

Sean also sat up and reached for Ronaldo’s phone. Then, he saw the live chat buzzing.

“And here I was wondering which artist you admire. So, it is Alana. I didn’t expect you to like a fashion designer. Oh, but both your families are in business.

I should’ve realized!” “This is hilarious. Alana doesn’t even care. You’ve picked a nice idol; at least it’s not a female celebrity.” I should’ve realized that too! Alana designed clothes for his favorite game developer, and now he’s probably simping over her!

When Sean’s face appeared on the camera, everyone on the live chat was in amazement. However, Ronaldo quickly snatched his phone back and asked, “Why did you snatch my phone away?”

I Want a Divorce Chapter 464-You Are Too Hard to Pursue He lowered his head to check the chat and was upset. “I’m not simping over anyone! They don’t even need me to do that.” ‘Don’t try to talk your way out, Ronaldo. They are Alana and Sean. You are a simp for them.” ‘Indeed, you’re nothing more than a lapdog of their relationship when we are here spending money on you.’

“It’s not like that. Plus, Sean and Abigail aren’t even a couple. Did you see them announce anything to the public? Please mind your words!” Ronaldo was infuriated.

“Just because we didn’t announce it officially doesn’t mean we aren’t together.

Many couples don’t make official announcements,” Sean casually remarked.

Ronaldo took a deep breath and said, “We’ll continue the stream later.

Goodbye!” ‘He’s running away! Useless! If you like Alana, go and fight with Sean!” Ronaldo couldn’t stand this anymore and ended the livestream.

He certainly wouldn’t compete with Sean for anyone, especially not for Abigail.

Moreover, he had no romantic interest in her.

He told his teammates he was ending the game before glaring at Sean. “Aren’t you afraid she’ll get mad at you for saying that? I had a lot of people in my live chat. All it takes is a casual mention from anyone, and she won’t be able to explain it.” “The consequences are mine to bear,” Sean replied indifferently. Then, he looked at Ronaldo seriously. “What are your real feelings for Abigail?” “A feeling of respect! Don’t worry. I won’t compete with you!” Ronaldo snapped.

Sean narrowed his eyes. “Remember your words, or your car will be something in the past.” “To be honest, you really shouldn’t have come to Eastbay. I wished I had never met you,” Ronaldo said before going to find Abigail.

Sean smirked. He felt quite assured about Ronaldo. After all, while the man might excel in social and business aspects, his personality was still akin to an immature kid.

When Abigail came out of the cruise ship and didn’t see Ronaldo, she turned to Sean. “Where is he?” “He probably went to settle the bill. We are preparing to leave the cruise ship.” Sean replied with a calm expression.

Abigail nodded in acknowledgment..

After a while, Ronaldo came out from the cruise ship and said, “We’re getting ready to leave the cruise ship. I’ll take you… I mean, both of you went to the night market. Do you two want to go?” Abigail nodded. “Well, I don’t have any plans, so let’s treat it as an outing” Sean added, “Wherever she goes, I got 13 Abigail glanced at Sean but didn’t say anything.

After getting off the cruise ship, Ronaldo accompanied Abigail back to the hotel.

Upon returning to her room, Abigail sent a message to Ronaldo.

‘Call me out secretly tonight. Don’t inform Sean about it.

When Ronaldo saw her message, he felt like Abigail was pushing him into a fire pit. There was no way he would dare to take Abigail to the night market secretly.

If he did, Sean would undoubtedly find his beloved car in the garage and destroy it by the time he returned from the night market.

‘If you don’t want to see him after the divorce, you should tell him directly.

Abigail received his message and understood his stance.

‘When did you become so close with him? I didn’t expect you to bring him wherever you go.

Ronaldo didn’t know what to say. After all, it wasn’t his intention either.

‘You don’t know the relationship between men. We became friends quickly!” Abigail looked at the message and fell into deep thought. She indeed didn’t understand that.

After spending two days in Eastbay with Sean and Ronaldo, Abigail returned to Capitalis with Sean.

“Ronaldo told me that you were spreading rumors about us being a couple on his livestream.” Abigail confronted Sean as soon as they boarded the plane.

Ronaldo had begged her to ask him after boarding the plane. Although she didn’t understand why, she knew Sean’s behavior was infuriating.

Sean feigned innocence and asked, “Did I? I don’t remember when I said that.

When did it happen?” However, he was rather surprised. When he was in Eastbay, Ronaldo had been very obedient. However, as soon as he left, Ronaldo immediately betrayed him.

“Whatever. Keep faking it. If anyone spreads rumors about us being a couple, I will sue you for spreading false information!” Abigail grumbled. Then, she turned her gaze out the window.

Sean scratched his nose and said, “Since you don’t want to be with Eric, nor do you want to reconcile with me, are you planning to stay single?” “Why do you care?” Abigail replied indifferently.

Sean sat back and stared at her for a while before chuckling. “If I had known you’d be this hard to pursue. I shouldn’t have agreed to the divorce.” Abigail furrowed her brows but remained silent. In the past, she was the one who always had so much to say, and Sean rarely paid attention. Now, it was the other way around.

Upon arriving at Capitalis, Abigail didn’t wait for Sean and left as soon as they got off the plane. When Sean came out, she had already walked quite a distance. He quickly chased after her and asked, “When are we going to meet Howard?” His tone was casual, seemingly as if he was not mad that she had left him behind.

“Tomorrow morning For now, we’ll each go our separate ways. Abigail turned around and gave him an annoyed look.

2/3 Sean nodded in agreement. However, he was still upset that she was being cold toward him.

Outside the airport, Abigail found a cab and got in without waiting for Sean. As Sean watched the cab drive into the traffic, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

He truly regretted agreeing to the divorce back then. Despite all his efforts, he couldn’t seem to salvage the situation now.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 465-Plans Within Plans Abigail returned to the company and was surprised to find Luna at work. She raised an eyebrow and approached Luna quietly.

Luna was busy on her computer when the office door was pushed open. She noticed it but initially thought. it was an assistant delivering materials. Only when Abigail leaned on her desk did she shudder. “You almost scared me to death!

Did you just go on a two-day vacation?” “I have something to do tomorrow.” Then, Abigail stared at Luna with sparkling eyes. “During the two days I was away, how far have you and Josh progressed?”

“We are still sleeping together. It’s impossible to get pregnant in just two days,” Luna replied with a grin.

“You guys didn’t use protection?” Abigail was taken aback.

“Don’t worry. I had birth control pills.” Luna laughed. “It’s his first time, and he’s inexperienced.” “Okay. I don’t need to hear those details. I just want to know if you’re concerned about the steps we are taking. What if you want to break up, but he doesn’t?

What’s your plan?” Abigail still shuddered at the thought of Sean’s persistent pursuit. If she hadn’t stood on her ground firmly, she would have been affected by his actions.

“I think he’s quite excellent. There’s no harm in giving it a try. However, I always thought breaking up w a matter of time.” Luna propped her chin. “I never thought of growing old with him, so I’m just enjoying the dating experience now.” Abigail stared at her friend for a while before asking, “So, who do you think is more suitable as a boyfriend, Howard or Josh?” “Honestly, Howard can’t compare to him even the slightest. Josh’s emotions are very stable. No matter how much I try to provoke him, he never gets angry.

Howard is more unpredictable, and it’s tiring to be around. him.” Luna analyzed it logically.

“I’ve met Josh before. If it weren’t for the entanglement with the Pearson Family and L.Moon, you two might be a great couple.” Luna interrupted with a chuckle. “You have too much of a good impression of him. In the early stages of dating, everyone treats their partner like a precious treasure. As time goes on, only then will it go downhill. Howard also treated me dearly in the first week, but he started getting moody. Just wait and see.” Abigail thought Luna was right. She sat down before her computer and started it up. “Do you know how much profit we have from the game? Are the outfits selling well?” she asked Luna.

“Let me check.” Luna immediately checked it. After a brief review, she was surprised. “Not bad. The profits. from the past few months add up to around 70 million.

“That’s quite a substantial amount,” Abigail said. She still believed that spending money on virtual items was unnecessary, but this amount of profits was different from what she had expected.

“Everyone needs to rely on something spiritually, so they spend money on games,” Luna commented.

Abigail didn’t fully understand this industry, so she didn’t say much about it.

However, she was satished with the earnings.

When they finished work, Luna picked up her bag and said to Abigail, Let’s go have dinner at the Pearsons.” “What?” Abigail was puzzled.

“I’ve been complimenting the Pearson Family’s food these days, and he’s been taking me home for dinner every day. It’s driving Kelly crazy,” Luna said with a mischievous smile.

Abigail stood up and asked, “Have you noticed anything unusual about her at the Pearsons?” “Don’t worry. I’ve outplayed her in their house.” Luna winked at her.

Abigail quickly leaned in and asked, “What did you do?” “I installed a hidden camera in her room,” Luna said with a sly grin.

“Kelly is cunning. I think this is a bad idea,” Abigail commented.

“Do you think she’ll find out?” Luna asked as she frowned.

“Maybe. She is probably waiting for you to take the bait, Abigail said. She knew Kelly well. Knowing that Luna and Josh’s closeness was a calculated move, there was no way Kelly wouldn’t be prepared, making it difficult for Luna to get the upper hand.

Luna recalled the past few days and slapped her thigh in realization. “You’re right. I think my actions went too smoothly. What should I do?” Just as Abigail was about to respond, Luna’s phone rang Her heart skipped a beat as she retrieved her phone from her bag. “Why is he calling now? It’s terrifying.” Abigail could tell Luna was feeling guilty.

Seeing that it was Josh calling, she immediately answered the call. “We’ll be out in a moment. I’m bringing Abigail along for dinner,” Luna said with a smile.

After Josh agreed, Luna immediately linked her arm with Abigail’s and said, “Let’s go.” Abigail, however, remained concerned about the hidden camera issue.

As they got into Josh’s car, the man helped Luna fasten her seatbelt. At the same time, he asked Abigail. “There should be plenty of fun activities in Eastbay this time of year. Why did you only stay for two days?” *Sean followed me and I found him annoying, so I came back,” Abigail replied.

Josh nodded. As he prepared to drive, he said. “I’ve discussed with my family these past couple of days, and my father said that the tax issue with Fairy Meadow is due to problems within the company itself. If you still intend to collaborate with Fairy Meadow, how do you plan to handle the tax situation? After all, you have to pay quite a large amount of money for it.”

I Want a Divorce Chapter 466-It’s Not Her Fault Abigail remained silent. She needed to head to Fairy Meadow with Sean the next day to know the details.

Noticing that Abigail was silent, Luna said, “Let’s discuss this once we have the exact amount for the back taxes. We’re on our way to your place for dinner now, right? Let’s not talk about work.” Josh smiled and said, “Alright. I’ll stop talking about work.” As the car drove midway and was waiting at a traffic light, Abigail suddenly stated, “It was me who instructed Luna to place a hidden camera in Kelly’s room. I’ve been thinking for two days, and I feel that it was wrong to do that.”

He was a bit slow to react while Luna looked at Abigail with great surprise. She didn’t expect Abigail to take responsibility for something she had done. At that moment, Luna bit her lip and looked at Abigail perplexedly.

Josh remained silent for a moment. When the light turned green, he asked, “Have you always had issues with her?” “Well, I wouldn’t have had any issues with her if she hadn’t provoked me. After you return home, take out the camera. Also, I won’t be eating at your place tonight. Just find someplace for me to get off,” Abigail replied.

“Abigail…” Luna couldn’t help but call out to her.

“I just got off a plane today, and I’m tired. I want to go home and rest.” Abigail smiled at Luna.

The reason she decided to take responsibility was to hope to put a stop to Kelly’s mischief before it got out of control. Plus, Luna and Josh were in a relationship now. Even if Luna was just into his body and wanted. to sleep with him, Abigail didn’t want to see them part ways because of such a thing. It was she who caused L..Moon to end in this situation. Moreover, she didn’t want Luna to manipulate Josh’s feelings. After all, there were many ways to get revenge on the Pearson Family, but manipulating an innocent person’s feelings was wrong.

“Stop right there. I’ll talk to her, Luna said to Josh.

Josh hummed in response and said nothing more.

As the car came to a stop, Abigail and Luna got out together. She pulled Abigail away from the car.

“Why did you decide to tell him the truth? You should have discussed it with me.

I could have taken care of it myself. You don’t need to take the blame.” Luna was anxious. After all, it was she who did it, but Abigail was the one taking the blame for her actions.

“I was worried that we wouldn’t have much time left. That is why I decided to tell him. Plus, let’s not toy with his feelings anymore, okay?” Abigail looked into Luna’s eyes and said softly.

Luna pursed her lips before saying. “You’re glorifying him. What’s the harm in deceiving him when his family had done those things to L.Moon?” I’m afraid that you might be hurt by someone in the same way. I’ve always believed that you get what you sow We can deal with the in any way, but let’s not hurt someone who genuinely cares for us What do you think?” Abigail held Luna’s hand and looked at her in earnest.

Lune looked back at her and sighed. “We re definitely blood-related Okay, I’ll try to get along with him.

111 1/2 n but don’t read too much into it if we break up due to differences in personality in the future.” “Okay. A smile spread across Abigail’s face. “Go and have dinner with him. I’ll take a walk on my own and explore the area.” “Alright. Just be careful, Luna said. Then, she waved at Abigail before going back to the car.

Once she was back in the car, Abigail turned around and started walking back where they had come.

Luna sat in the car and looked at Josh, “Are you mad at Abigail?” “I just want to know why she had installed a hidden camera in Kelly’s room.

What is she being suspicious of?” Josh said to Luna while driving the car.

She reached for his tie and said, “Hold on. Stop driving now.” He could only let go of the steering wheel and leaned closer to her. Luna leaned closer to him and loosened his tie. At the same time, she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Josh suppressed his emotions as he looked at her. “What are you doing?” “It’s definitely not something bad. Let’s just forget about this, okay?” Luna looked at him and blinked her cyes.

“If Kelly finds out about this, she’ll be sad. I love you, and I care about Abigail as a friend, but what you guys did wasn’t right.” Josh paused momentarily before continuing, “Of course, what Kelly did to her before was terrible, and she hasn’t apologized yet. If Abigail feels wronged, I’ll have Kelly apologize to her first. As for Abigail’s doings, it will depend on whether she wants to apologize or not, okay?” “I can apologize on her behalf!” Luna hurriedly replied.

There’s a deep misunderstanding between them, and I think they need to have an honest conversation,” Josh said as he kissed her lips. “I’m not angry. I know Abigail also feels aggrieved, and Kelly did terrible things to her before. Plus, I know she’s upset about our actions against L.Moon.” Luna subconsciously moved closer to him. “You’re great, but as for Kelly, I think she will still act the same even if Abigail talked to her. After all, she was raised in a different environment than you. You can’t expect her to be as straightforward as you.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 467-He’s a Businessman After All A smirk played on Josh’s lips when Luna said that. Do you have such a good impression of me?” “You’re my man. Why would I have agreed to date you in the first place otherwise?” she replied with a smile.

“In that case, do you prefer me or Howard?” Josh couldn’t help but be bitter about the fact that she once dated Howard.

Luna felt the romantic atmosphere in the car had been instantly ruined by the question.

She pushed him away and complained with a hint of annoyance. The last thing you should do in a relationship is bring up exes?

“I don’t have an ex-girlfriend. You’re the only one I have now and will have in the future.” Josh pouted with a tinge of grievance.

Luna looked at him and asked, “Do you think I don’t deserve you, then?” “No. I just think Howard doesn’t deserve you, and that bothers me,” Josh lamented bitterly Luna licked her lips and leaned in to whisper in his ear, “Young men have good stamina.” Josh blushed a little and turned to look at her.

Raising a brow, she continued, “I don’t compromise when it comes to these things. If you can’t accept it, then I can’t help it “I can accept it, and I really like how honest you are.” Josh responded and reached out to hold her hand.

Luna believed his words, and Josh was very happy that she could be open with him, even if he knew her acceptance wasn’t entirely pure in motive.

After walking a short distance, Abigail started feeling cold and was unable to continur anymore, so she stopped at the side of the road to book a cab Just as she fished out her phone, a car pulled up in front of her Cameron winded the car window down and revealed a big toothy grin as he asked. “Do you 13 need a ride, Ms. Quinn?” Approaching his car, Abigail took a deep breath and questioned, “How long have you been following me?” “Not long. Please get in!” Cameron invited with a cheerful grin.

Abigail opened the car door and was about to get in when she turned her head and saw Sean sitting in the back seat.

“Why are you here?” Abigail asked with a hint of disgust, refusing to get into the car.

“This is my car. Why can’t I be here?” Sean retorted.

“Aren’t you on my side? Why are you driving his car?” Abigail furrowed her brows and questioned Cameron.

Looking somewhat embarrassed, he replied bashfully, “I’m on your side, of course! I wanted to pick you up, but I can’t afford a car with a license in Capitalis, so I had to borrow from an acquaintance.

Abigail gave him a skeptical look that seemed to say, ‘You expect me to believe you?” Cameron chuckled. “Come on in already. It’s pretty cold out there.” Abigail got into the car reluctantly, just as Sean thought that she wasn’t going to accept the ride. To his surprise, she walked to the back seat, opened the door, and took a seat.

As soon as she settled in, Cameron started the engine.

“What are you planning to discuss with Howard tomorrow?” she asked Sean.

“You can discuss whatever you want with him. I’m just there to stress him out,” he answered.

Abigail hummed and then asked, “Do you know the exact amount of the tax issue?” “Around 15 million, I suppose. After all, it’s a penalty, not just back taxes. If we want to resolve the tax issue, my suggestion is that either you or Luna should take the position of L.Moon’s CEO, Sean stated with a meaningful gaze.

Abigail fell silent for a moment before uttering. “Howard possesses strong management skills, Luna’s main focus is on L.Moon, and I oversee the design department. I wouldn’t be qualified to serve as the CEO “In that case, we’ll have to go with plan B. We’ll need to redistribute the shares, and whoever saves Fairy Meadow this time should receive the most shares and have the most say. Even if the other shareholders vote, it may be enough to keep L.Moon in our hands,” Sean 2/3 continued.

This time, L.Moon suffered because the shares they held were too few.

“But they won’t agree to it, and they’ll immediately inform the Pearsons. Once the Pearsons find out that we want Fairy Meadow, they will definitely help them resolve the tax issue.” Abigail frowned.

Sean’s lips curved upward. “That’s why we need to talk to Howard.” Abigail looked at him, puzzled.

Sean adjusted his position and leaned in to explain to Abigail, “We need to win Howard over, sign a confidentiality agreement with him, and have him persuade the other shareholders to sell their shares. Then, he can sell those shares to L.Moon. The benefit you can offer him is a share of the profits. As long as he continues to manage the company well, he’ll remain Fairy Meadow’s CEO.” Abigail found Sean’s approach rather dirty, but she couldn’t deny its effectiveness.

“Right now, we need to make Howard one of us, or it’ll be hard for Fairy Meadow to become L.Moon’s property. Even though the method is unscrupulous, this is often how battles in the business world are fought. You either publicly expose your opponent’s mistakes to make them vulnerable, launch a smear campaign in secret, or do what we’re doing.” Sean thought Abigail wasn’t willing to do it, so he tried to convince her.

After all, he was a businessman.

Moreover, L.Moon had treated Fairy Meadow well at the beginning, and it was Fairy Meadow’s shareholders who had turned against them, wanting to get rid of L.Moon.

“I’ll talk to Howard. How many shares do you think we should offer him?” Abigail was now so engaged in the conversation that she could temporarily forget the grudge she held him.

against “Give him a two percent stake, and he’ll be making a great deal. If it weren’t for the urgency of acquiring Fairy Meadow, he would have a hard time stumbling into such a great opportunity,” Sean uttered, ending his sentence with a cold snort.

Abigail nodded, taking his words to heart.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of L.Moon.

As the car came to a stop, Abigail turned to Sean and commented, “Thanks.

See you tomorrow morning.”

I Want a Divorce Chapter 468-Unexpected events always occurred sooner than planned.

When Abigail returned to the company to work on a plan for bribing Howard the following day, Sean sent her a message.

He informed her that there was a change in the Pearsons’ situation and urged her to check Twitter.

Abigail quickly clicked into the app and found a trending topic with some hashtags.

‘L.MoonLunaInstallsHiddenCamerainKelly’s Room’ ‘BedroomFootageLeakofthe Pearsons DaughterWhoRecentlyReturned’

These two hashtags were connected in every trending video.

Abigail clicked in to watch the videos, and she saw that in Kelly’s room, there was footage capturing her while she slept, including moments when her nightgown rode up and revealed her thighs.

If Kelly had deliberately done this, she was truly willing to go to great lengths to undermine them.

Even before Abigail could finish watching the videos, she received a call from Sean, so she answered it immediately.

“Will this incident affect our plans for tomorrow?” Abigail asked him directly.

Sean knew that criticizing Luna’s actions now wouldn’t be productive.

“The Pearsons have already pressured Fairy Meadow to make a decision tonight. Luna’s actions are a crime, and the Pearsons will definitely pursue this.

L.Moon’s reputation will also be affected,” he stated with a serious tone.

“I know. The videos are solid proof. L.Moon won’t be able to defend itself,” Abigail replied solemnly.

“Come with me to Fairy Meadow now. Regardless of the situation, we need to secure Fairy Meadow first. We can address Luna’s matter later,” Sean decided.

Abigail immediately agreed to his invitation.

Cameron drove Sean to L.Moon, and after Abigail got into the car, Sean uttered, “Let’s see how Fairy Meadow responds later.” 1/3 Abigail nodded in agreement, not saying much.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Luna.

‘Have you seen what’s going on on Twitter?” After a few minutes, Luna replied, ‘Yes. Josh sent me back. You don’t have to worry. He said he would explain the situation to his parents.

Abigail typed out her response, ‘Alright. I’m having supper outside. You should go back to the office and rest.’ To be frank, she wasn’t sure if Josh would stand with L.Moon.

Kelly’s privacy had been exposed all over the internet, so there was no way the Pearsons would let Luna off the hook easily.

Abigail unconsciously sighed, but her unintentional sigh didn’t escape the attention of Sean and Cameron.

When they arrived at Fairy Meadow, Sean walked in front, with Abigail tagging behind him and Cameron obediently staying by her side.

Howard was waiting for them in the reception area.

Upon seeing Sean, he immediately approached them with a tense expression.

“Mr. Graham, please come with me.” Abigail was surprised by Sean’s prior arrangement.

Sean glanced at her, signaling for her to follow.

Abigail gathered her thoughts and followed them to the guest lounge on the first floor.

After they were seated, Howard glanced at Abigail before talking to Sean. “The Pearsons have gone viral on social media because of the video, so they insist on voting to remove L.Moon tomorrow morning. What is your current stance?” Abigail felt a slight nudge from Sean, prompting her to respond immediately, “Mr. Creed, losing L.Moon wouldn’t be a significant loss. The issue now is regarding Miss Smith. However, I’m confident that this issue will be resolved.

Isn’t that right?” Howard’s hands were tightly clasped together, and he was feeling a lot of frustration. However, with Sean present, he couldn’t vent his emotions, so he asked coldly, “Before we discuss business, I want to ask a personal question.

Did Luna get together with Josh because of work, or did she really fall for him so quickly?” |||

23 Abigail sighed and replied, “Even though we are very close, there are still boundaries between us. Why don’t you go and ask her yourself if you’re still holding onto the matter?” Sean stared at Howard with a stern expression.

In response, Howard chuckled self-deprecatingly. “We’ve already broken up. It’s probably none of my business to inquire.” “Mr. Creed, if you choose to break up, then forget about it. You’ll find someone more suitable for you,” Abigail said with a smile.

Instead of responding to her, Howard switched the topic back to business. “I’m quite satisfied with the cooperation Mr. Graham mentioned, but I need a contract.

Abigail glanced at Sean, and he nodded in agreement.

“We will draft the contract for your review,” Abigail stated. She didn’t say much, but it seemed like they were well on their way to a successful partnership.

Howard was about to continue speaking, but Cameron beat him to it. “You may not trust Miss Quinn, but you should trust Mr. Graham. Besides, the future looks promising for the collaboration between Fairy Meadow and L.Moon. Once you have the shares, you’ll receive more dividends as long as L.Moon performs well, so why hesitate?” Howard pursed his lips but didn’t utter a word for some time.

“The issues with L.Moon are only temporary, and besides, we can’t say for sure who’ll benefit from the exposure online yet. If you are unwilling to accept our offer, I can inquire with other members of your company. After all, your role as CEO currently is essentially to pass messages along,” Sean stated coldly. With that, he stood up, signaling his intention to leave.

Abigail quickly got up to follow him.

Seeing how Sean was straightforward and decisive, Howard hurriedly exclaimed, “I’ll provide with an answer before the morning meeting!” you Sean turned to look at him and said, “Please don’t disappoint me, Mr. Creed. I never engage in matters that end in failure. You’re aware of my track record, so you should understand that I’m not just trying to intimidate you.” Howard was a clever person, so he understood the implications of Sean’s words.

When he realized that the benefits he had been offered were also being extended to others, Howard couldn’t help but wonder how many cards Sean had up his sleeve. That being said, he had no way of finding out.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 469-’m Already Downstairs.

After leaving Fairy Meadow, Sean asked Abigail, “How much money have you prepared?” “Altogether about 30 million,” Abigail replied.

Sean nodded. “We’ll figure it out if we’re short of money when the back taxes are issued.” “Thank you for today.” Abigail expressed her gratitude, remembering how she had been plotting against him just the day before.

Life had its twists and turns, and she could only admit that she wasn’t competent yet, especially in the world of business.

“It’s too early now to thank me. We can only solve Luna’s issue through Kelly.

Let’s wait and see what happens for now, alright?” Sean advised. Then, he checked his watch and continued, “It’s getting late. Go back and rest. We have another task at 5.00AM tomorrow.” Abigail felt like she was being led by him completely now.

“Alright.” In her moment of defeat, she had to acknowledge his abilities.

Perhaps sensing her thoughts, Sean suddenly uttered, “If it weren’t for Miss Smith’s unexpected situation, your plan would have gone smoothly.” Abigail glanced at him and said, “You might as well not say that. In the business world, I do. admit that I can’t match up to you.” However, she was determined to improve so that she could handle such situations by herself in the future.

Cameron dropped Abigail back at the company and then left with Sean.

Abigail was worried about Luna, so she went to seek her out after returning to the company.

Luna was seated at the bar table, drinking. When she saw Abigail returning, she smiled and announced, “Sorry for causing trouble. I should have told you in advance.” Abigail walked over and sat next to her while responding calmly, “You had good intentions, and the situation arose because of me. Don’t blame yourself.” After a moment of silence, she asked, “How did Josh react to this?” “He wasn’t upset, but Scarlett was furious and called Lawrence directly.” Luna shrugged.

Abigail thought of what Sean had said and reassured her, “Let’s wait and see.

This situation г 1/4 may not necessarily favor the Pearsons.” “The main concern is that L.Moon’s reputation will definitely be tarnished. Josh mentioned that, in the best-case scenario, I’ll have to undergo an investigation.” Luna swirled her wine glass. “I never expected Kelly to be so audacious.” “At this point, let’s just go with the flow.” Abigail wasn’t particularly worried.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Sean’s words had made an impact on her. Even though they had been divorced for quite some time, his words still seemed to have a reassuring effect on her.

After consoling Luna, Abigail returned to her room and forced herself to sleep.

Early in the morning, at 4.30AM, Abigail woke up. After freshening up, it was almost 5.00AM when she texted Sean.

‘Are you awake?’ I’m already downstairs.

Abigail thought he was quite early.

When she left the company, the cold wind made her cheeks tingle. Each breath felt like cold. air piercing her lungs, causing her lungs to contract.

After getting into the car, she finally caught her breath.

“Breakfast.” Sean handed her some croissants.

As soon as she saw the croissants, she knew that it wasn’t from any ordinary place.

When she took a bite, they were still warm and crispy on the outside but soft and buttery on the inside.

“These are delicious!” Abigail praised.

“There are many long-established bakeries that have been around for decades in Capitalis, and their focus is on top-notch quality,” Sean replied, his lips slightly curled. He was pleased to see her enjoying the food.

Upon arrival at Fairy Meadow, Abigail got out of the car. Then, Sean had Cameron hand her a contract.

|||

24 “Review it during the meeting, and if there are no issues, have them sign it.

Before the Pearsons’ representative arrives at Fairy Meadow, L.Moon will take control of the situation,” Sean said while adjusting his sleeves.

“Okay.” Abigail thought Sean’s strategy of pulling the firewood from under the pot was indeed clever.

In Fairy Meadow’s meeting room, Abigail noticed that several shareholders were present.

Howard announced, “These shareholders are willing to sell their shares.

Together with the shares I’ve contributed, it totals up to 49%. Including yours, that makes 51%.

The percentage was quite finely balanced.

Howard had effectively positioned himself as a critical role in controlling L.Moon.

Sean glanced at him and considered him to be a talented individual.

Abigail sat down, reviewed the contract, and asked Howard, “I’m fine with the distribution. Tell me how much you’re looking for.” “44% of the shares represents half of Fairy Meadow’s net worth. We have no other demands. We just hope you can offer a fair price.” One of the shareholders stepped forward.

These shareholders didn’t own a significant portion of Fairy Meadow’s shares and seemed to be selling them because they couldn’t earn much in dividends.

Abigail bit her lip, taking some time to respond. “I can offer a maximum of 15 million for all of you. My sincerity is on the table, and now it’s up to you.” Fifteen million was actually beyond Sean’s plan, considering the current chaos at Fairy Meadow. Moreover, the exact amount of back taxes to be paid was still unknown.

Several shareholders were also pretty worked up.

In fact, Fairy Meadow had been operating at a loss for three years, and during these three years, they hadn’t received any dividends. Instead, they had spent a significant amount of money to keep Fairy Meadow afloat.

Now, they were at their wits’ end.

They had originally believed that L.Moon’s involvement would bring in profits.

However, they were surprised that the Pearsons were constantly creating obstacles. Several major shareholders hoped that the Pearsons would pave the way for Fairy Meadow to make substantial profits.

31 However, these shareholders did not believe this was a good deal.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 470-She’s Always Making Miracles Now that a big family business was competing with L.Moon, the shareholders would merely be sacrificial pawns who were stuck in between.

Only those few major shareholders were hoping for a turnaround.

However, they had invested a significant amount of money in Fairy Meadow over the past few years, and they were now at the end of their ropes.

“I’ll go for it!” One of the elderly shareholders with white hair spoke. He turned to the others. and said, “With this money, we can finally go our separate ways from Fairy Meadow.”

Once everyone agreed, Abigail handed the contract to Howard.

“Take a look and see if there are any issues. If everything looks fine, sign it,” Abigail uttered.

Howard took the contract and examined it carefully, with several shareholders gathering around him to review it.

After reading it, he left to make a few copies of the contract.

In the meantime, the elderly shareholder with white hair asked, “Do you really think that Fairy Meadow can be saved, Miss Quinn?” “I believe I can, and I will work hard for it,” she responded with a determined look.

These shareholders had a sentimental attachment to Fairy Meadow as it was a brand they had built and nurtured over the past decade.

While Howard was busy printing the contract, the shareholders started feeling complex emotions.

Years of bitterness and hardship seemed to gush out at this moment.

They were well aware of the internal issues at Fairy Meadow and the added burden of tax problems.

However, Abigail was willing to invest heavily to support the brand.

When Howard printed the contracts and distributed them to everyone, the elderly shareholder with white hair hesitated for a long time without signing.

Suddenly, he capped his pen and looked at Abigail. “If all of us stand with you, how long will it take for Fairy Meadow to become profitable?” |||

r 14 A faint smile appeared on the corner of Sean’s lips as he felt a sense of delight in seeing the situation developing in a more positive direction.

“The spring season product launch was initially an opportunity to turn things around.” Abigail gazed at him with confidence.

She had always taken pride in her work.

If it weren’t for the internal issues within Fairy Meadow and the lack of unity in supporting her, the spring product launch could have been the day when Fairy Meadow would bloom. again.

Now, she couldn’t say for sure. Luna had violated Kelly’s privacy, which was something the netizens would absolutely not accept.

Therefore, L.Moon would have to pay the price for it.

Due to that, Fairy Meadow’s new product launch event had missed its best.

opportunity.

The shareholders hadn’t expected that they were so close to making a profit.

Howard had also not realized how important the new product launch event was.

If he hadn’t hesitated or doubted it, he could have made Fairy Meadow’s new product launch a success, and the situation for the company would have been completely different.

Luna might not have broken up with him, and there wouldn’t have been the camera incident.

It was just a small step away from turning everything toward a better situation.

Howard understood this, so how could the shareholders not realize it?

“We would like to discuss this privately before signing. Can you give us ten minutes?” As soon as the elderly shareholder with white hair stood up, everyone seemed to look at him with respect.

Abigail nodded and left the meeting room with Sean.

In the early hours of the morning in Capitalis, the sky was still dark.

She felt that, for the first time, the time spent waiting for dawn was so long.

L..Moon had gone from being suppressed to seeking a breakthrough, and it lasted from last year to this year, but they hadn’t resolved their problems and had instead encountered even greater difficulties.

Sean looked at Abigail and commented, “Your sincerity has moved them. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve been involved in a business deal where I’ve seen something like this. People 24 in their positions usually care more about their own interests than relationships.

Your decision to offer 15 million is better than what I had in mind.” “Thank you,” Abigail replied softly.
