I Want a Divorce Chapter 471-Deep Misunderstanding Carrying the good news, Abigail returned to the company, where Analise had already been waiting for her for a long time. Tears flowed down Analise’s cheeks when she saw her. “Luna was just arrested by the police. They said that she had breached some privacy law. What are we going to do? What’s happening?” she wept, tugging Abigail’s sleeves and stomping her feet.
Abigail patted her shoulder. “There’s a misunderstanding with the Pearsons. I’ll ask them about it now.” “You have to sort it out. Luna is just like my granddaughter as well, and I can’t watch her suffer any injustice,” Abigail sobbed earnestly, releasing her sleeve.
“No, I won’t let that happen to her,” Abigail assured.
While Abigail was making a call to ask Josh out, Analise immediately called Sean. Hiding in a room, she asked him in a whisper about what happened with Luna.
“She installed a pin-hole camera in Kelly’s room, but Kelly had already set a trap and was waiting for her to walk right in. So, that’s what happened. According to the law, the heaviest penalty is a fine and ten days in jail,” Sean informed in a comforting tone. The more serious damage is L.Moon’s reputation… which is not salvageable, he added silently.
“Kelly, again? Why did she set up Luna like this?” Analise asked in anger.
After a few seconds of silence, Sean said, “If you’re free, let’s meet up, and I’ll tell you in detail.” “I’m going grocery shopping, so wait for me at the market. I’ll send you the location,” Analise answered and hung up before going out.
They met at the market, where it was Sean’s first visit to a place like this.
Nevertheless, Luna had picked a good location for the company because L.Moon was only a few minutes’ walk away from such a huge market.
Sean started the story with how Kelly tricked Lina into coming to Capitalis and targeted Abigail. Then, he told her everything that happened until this point without leaving out any details.
“Abigail and Luna have protected you so well that Kelly can’t do anything to you, so she switched her targets to them and L.Moon with the intention of toppling the latter. Meanwhile, they want to find something useful against Kelly, and that’s how they fell into her trap,” he finished, taking a look at Analise.
“Do you want me to tell the Pearsons that Kelly is an imposter?” she asked.
1/3 r He shook his head. “It’s pointless to say that because we don’t know how Vincent obtained the DNA proof, and the Pearsons won’t suspect Kelly because of a word from you. After all, Kelly’s identity is proven by an authorized hospital.” “This is odd. How can an imposter fool such a big, prestigious family?” Analise mumbled in puzzlement.
“This is the thing that has been boggling me for a long time. The evidence I have in my hands now is only enough to prove that Kelly is linked to a fraud industry chain,” Sean said. solemnly.
Analise had heard about this from Colby. At that time, Colby had sent someone to investigate after sensing something fishy about Kelly. In the end, he found out that she was linked to a fraud industry. Coincidentally, she was working in the dark to sabotage the relationship between the Graham and Quinn Families, so Colby and Analise decided to play along so as not to alert the other party.
“How big is this fraud industry?” Analise asked.
Because this matter couldn’t be disclosed, Abigail thought that she was still carrying the blame and that Sean was disgruntled over this.
“Billions. We can’t risk alerting the scammers now because they’re very vigilant, and we have more than a hundred personnel involved. So, failure is not an option,” he explained to Analise.
Analise was a little upset. “Until now, Abigail still doesn’t know that the three of us know that the mushroom poisoning incident was a plan.” “Grandma, the truth will come to light one day. I’ll try my best to help L.Moon out of this,” he said, looking at her.
Analise was a person who could see the big picture. If Colby hadn’t accidentally stumbled upon Kelly’s plan and had no other choice but to go along with it, the Quinn Family wouldn’t. have to suffer the injustice. It was only later that Sean found out from Colby that the poisonous mushroom incident wasn’t Analise’s fault at all.
Sean regretted saying such things to Abigail at that time, but according to Colby, he had discussed this matter with Analise, and they had decided to continue with the act without telling them anything precisely because he was worried that Sean would let his emotions rule his head.
Kelly got the chance to spend time with Sean because of this and had let her guard down for now.
“The problem with L..Moon has to be dealt with. Luna simply cannot have such a scandal on her name,” Analise said to him.
|||
r 2/3 He nodded in agreement. “I’m thinking of solutions now.” “Sean, in the past- “It’s all in the past now. It was my fault for not being a good husband, and I understand that you were trying to protect her,” he said softly, admitting to his mistake while holding her hand.
Once, he was such a proud person, but he was bowing his head humbly to an elderly woman now. “I’ve always thought that she was kind to me simply because she wanted to have a baby to answer to Grandma, but I was wrong,” he muttered with regret, lowering his eyes.
He used to hate it whenever Abigail brought up the issue with the baby because he assumed that she just wanted to please his grandmother to secure her position in the family.
Neither of them had any feelings for the other prior to their marriage, and yet she thought that she could have a child with him. To him, the idea of couples being together just for the sake of reproduction irritated him.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 472-Are You Good Enough?
Analise couldn’t clear the confusion in his mind. This was a problem between a couple, and she had her reasons for urging Abigail to have a child, even though it caused Sean to get the wrong idea of Abigail. In addition, she couldn’t be sure whether it was out of love that Abigail agreed to have a baby with Sean or not.
After consoling Analise, Sean sent her back to L.Moon. Standing outside the entrance, he dialed Kelly’s number, and the moment she picked up, he said coldly, “Come out. Let’s talk.”
“Are you calling because of Luna? If so, you can forget it, Sean.” Kelly sounded rather tough.
this time.
Sean knew fully well why she was doing this. Once Lawrence returned from abroad, he would undoubtedly put Luna through hell for Kelly’s sake. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Kelly, sometimes, doing too much is not good.”- “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’ve been respectful toward Abigail the whole time. Because of some misunderstanding-” “That’s enough. I’m hanging up since you don’t want to talk,” Sean interjected impatiently.
Right before he hung up, she said anxiously, “What do you want to speak about?” “I don’t want to speak over the phone,” he said and hung up.
He loitered outside for a while and received an address sent by Kelly. Then, he took a cab straight to the restaurant she asked to meet. Upon seeing him, Kelly felt her breathing steadily increasing and her heart pounding against her chest.
“About Luna, do you really think that you’ll win?” Sean asked directly after taking a seat.
Kelly’s stacked hands couldn’t help but tremble. “But it’s a fact that she installed a camera in my room.” “Then, who installed the camera that caught her in the act?” he asked with a stoic face.
On the other hand, she looked smug. “My father is very mad and won’t let her off. He’s going to reach Capitalis tonight. It’s not a problem if you want to settle this before he returns. Just announce publicly that you’re going to marry me.” “You should know that I won’t agree to this request for Luna’s sake. No matter how much I love Abigail, I won’t sacrifice’myself to help her friend,” Sean scoffed at her offer with icy eyes.

13 negotiate with Kelly was the biggest concession he was willing to make.
“Sean, this is the best I can do. If you’re not agreeable, there’s nothing else I can offer you,” she said, picking up the menu and starting to order.
“Since you can’t do anything, so be it, then.” He stood up, spun around, and wanted to leave.
She sprang up as he did and blurted. “You already made it here. Are you okay to return. without achieving anything?” Sean didn’t even turn around as he couldn’t be bothered with. her. “Sean Graham!” she shouted. “L.Moon may shut its doors forever this time. Even so, are you going to stay out of it?” Stopping in his tracks, he turned around and stared at her. “If it’s a marriage that involves two great families. It’s not just your decision.” Delight and surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw that he seemed to have conceded. “Of course, my father will take a step back for me,” she said. “I’ll tell him to let L.Moon off, as well as Luna. Then, all the disgruntlement Abigail has toward you will disappear because of your compromise.” He looked her in the eyes. “Tonight, I want to speak personally with your father once he’s back, and the marriage between both families has to go according to the rules of a marriage of convenience. Also, release Luna now.” “Sure. Suddenly, Kelly’s spirits shot. up.
Spinning on his heels, Sean sneered indifferently. She’s just an imposter. Does she really think that she’s good enough?
While Abigail and Josh were discussing Luna’s issue, Josh’s phone started ringing. Upon seeing that it was a call from Kelly, he immediately said, “Don’t speak. My sister’s calling” Picking up the coffee in front of her, Abigail took a slow sip as Josh pushed the green button. After listening to Kelly, he seemed a little surprised. “Are you saying that, for Luna’s sake, Sean is willing to marry you?” Again and again, he asked to be sure and stole a look at Abigail subconsciously.
Unable to believe that Sean would agree to Kelly’s request because of Luna, Abigail met Josh’s eyes with shock.
“I’ll pick up Luna in a while, Josh said and ended the call. Turning to Abigail, he hesitated before saying. “Sean must be doing this because of L.Moon Luna’s part is smaller than 1.Moon’s r 2/3 “I know. Go and pick up Luna. But, after such a thing, are you and Luna still able to continue with the relationship?” Abigail asked.
“Let’s see whether Sean will bring up any additional conditions.” Pausing, he then added, “Abigail, this matter started because of you and Sean conceded for your sake. It’s not too much to ask for if he also mentions me and Luna as an additional condition, right?” “It’s up to him whether he’s going to bring this up or not. I can’t ask more from him,” Abigail pointed out.
Josh nodded. “You have a point. I’m surprised as well that he agrees to the marriage of convenience for your sake.”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 473-Chapter will update soon
I Want a Divorce Chapter 474-Everyone Left Her “Fairy Meadow made a horribly wrong decision today, and I hope that in the future,” the representative of the Pearsons spat and marched out.
you won’t regret this After they left, a few of the shareholders from Fairy Meadow with bigger shares couldn’t hold. their tongues anymore. “Howard, Billy O’Neils, you’d better give
us an explanation. Why did. you change your mind at the last minute after we agreed on something else before and even want to vote our own out?” Howard cast a nervous glance at the silver-haired shareholder, Billy O’Neils, who met the other shareholder’s eyes and said, “I wanted to sell Fairy Meadow but can’t bear to part with it. So, how can I pass it to a bunch of people who don’t even know anything about apparel?” “But you should have discussed it with us!” “Exactly! Why did you let her take charge without even discussing it with us?
This is outrageous.” Abigail said nothing as she listened to their argument. Then, Howard stood up.
As a person with two percent shares in the company, he had the right to voice out his opinion, even though they didn’t carry much weight. “Let me say something in fairness. If you’re unwilling to accept L.Moon, you can take your bonus and leave, and we’ll part ways happily. The future of Fairy Meadow can only get better and not worse.” With some shares in his hands, Howard.
sounded more confident when he spoke.
Maybe Howard isn’t suitable for Luna, but he’s the perfect candidate to lead the company, Abigail thought.
“What gives you the right to say something like this here, Howard?” a slightly younger shareholder argued. Having inherited the shares from his father, he was considered a tyrant in the company.
Howard glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. “I may not have so much right, but I have the right to support my fellow shareholders. If you’re unhappy, you can resign from the board of directors of Fairy Meadow and save yourself this unpleasantness.” “Resign? Does Fairy Meadow have the money to pay out what I deserve?” he questioned.
Abigail stared at him coldly. “Of course, there’s money if you resign willingly. You know very well what a dire state Fairy Meadow is in now, and your shares are not worth that much. Moreover, if you don’t resign quickly enough, you’ll have to pay the overdue tax once the tax. situation is clear.” Money owed due to willing resignations was calculated according to the current value of the company. The Fairy Meadow brand was worth a lot if the shares were actively bought.
111 O <
1/3 However, if it was passive, the value would greatly diminish after taxes and three years of negative earnings.
“I’ll resign, then. Please have the money and agreement prepared.” Fuming, he stormed out after speaking.
“I’m giving out the money, so those shares will be mine,” Abigail declared out of the blue.
The other two shareholders left after complaining but didn’t mention that they wanted to resign. Maybe they needed to think and calculate it out at home.
It was almost 11.00AM when Abigail left Fairy Meadow. Just as she was putting her phone away, she saw a push notification from her social media. ‘L.Moon CEO, Luna Smith, resigned.
Before Abigail finished reading the headlines, she was already calling Luna, who picked up very quickly.
“Why did you resign? We haven’t published anything official yet!” Abigail exclaimed anxiously.
“This matter won’t come to light so quickly, and Sean has suggested that I resign first and return once the truth is out. This is the best solution for L.Moon, but don’t worry. Given our relationship, I’ll help you with work.” Luna didn’t seem upset over this outcome.
“Okay,” Abigail answered meekly. “Sean has also helped me to fix the collaboration with Fairy Meadow so you can relax. Our company won’t close down.” “I trust you. Focus on the new spring collection. I’m waiting for you to let Fairy Meadow bloom again,” Luna said with a smile.
Despite that, Abigail felt stuffy in her chest, and after hanging up, she sat by the sidewalk for a long time before she could recollect herself. When she returned to the company, she turned on the computer and started a draft.
Thank you, everyone, for your concern, and we’re sorry that L. Moon hit the headlines in such a manner. Luna’s resignation is the best answer she could give to those concerned about 1.Moon. From now on, we will scrutinize ourselves under the supervision and encouragement of the public and pay attention to our words and actions to prevent the occurrence of similar incidents.
It was simply written, but she couldn’t write more. After this, she would pass it on to the public relations department to have it properly written for a professional press release. Then, she remembered the marriage between the Grahams and the Pearsons. All of a sudden, she felt that many people had left her side.
When Cameron came over, he found her sitting in front of the computer in a daze. He 23 prepared a cup of warm milk for her, comforting her, “Everything will be okay.” Raising her head at him, she croaked, “Will L.Moon only be safe if Sean marries Kelly? Is there no other solution?” I don’t want to have too many connections to Sean, but why? Am I going to live in guilt all my life?
“Ms. Quinn, even though I haven’t heard about it, I’d still like to advise you one thing. Mr. Graham isn’t going to compromise so easily and must have another backup plan for doing. this.” As he couldn’t tell her directly, he could only comfort her in this manner.
“He should have discussed it with me,” she grumbled.
Whisking out his phone, Cameron then dialed Sean’s number and passed the phone to Abigail when the call connected. “Ask him.” She took the phone from him and asked in anger, “Why? With your capabilities, is there a need for you to place yourself on the line to solve this issue?
I Want a Divorce Chapter 475-Are You Unwilling?
Sean didn’t answer her, but asked in return, “I want to know. When you married me and talked about wanting a child… Was it because you wanted to have a child with me, or because Old Mrs. Quinn and my grandma requested that you do it?” Abigail instantly frowned. “Why are you asking me this?” “Can’t you just answer me?” he asked in a deep voice.
“Sean, getting married and having children is a normal part of life. Even if they didn’t have an opinion about it, I would still get pregnant since I married you,” she said earnestly.
“So, that’s the basis of you wanting to have children with me, right? You didn’t want my children because I was the father, right?” Sean felt aggrieved.
“Sean, you should let sleeping dogs lie. Stop bringing up the past. Tell me. Do you have a way to get out of your marriage to the Pearsons?” Abigail didn’t want to dwell in the past. She just wanted to know if Sean prepared a backup plan.
“You’re only worried about being in debt to me, afraid that you can’t repay me.
What happens if I tell you that there’s no backup plan? Will you feel guilty for the rest of your life? Will you feel resentful and upset about it?” Sean hung up the phone after he was done speaking.
Abigail was a little speechless. Can’t he let me finish?
Then, she passed the phone to Cameron as she pondered what Sean meant by his words with a deep frown.
Lawrence arrived at Capitalis at night.
The Pearsons were reprimanded badly by him because of Kelly’s video that went viral.
At the moment, Josh was the most uneasy among the Pearsons.
He had never caused huge problems or gone against his parents since he was young. However, he was about to go against Lawrence for Luna.
On the other hand, Sean was the most relaxed as he sat on the couch enjoying a cup of tea.
Old Mrs. Pearson-Patricia-kept glancing at him while her expression kept changing.
|||
1/3 between a satisfied smile and a worried frown.
Old Mr. Pearson-that would be Gary-was whispering reassurances toward Kelly throughout the night, telling her not to be afraid as Lawrence would help her.
Soon, the sound of a car rolling to a stop could be heard before Scarlett and Lawrence entered the house.
Even though Lawrence was getting on in years, his skin was well-maintained.
With his long eyebrow, slightly slanted eyes, and thin lips, he gave off a regal aura.
As he entered with his work bag, Sean couldn’t help but think about the fact that he was Abigail’s biological father.
Lawrence passed his bag to the nanny before changing into casual wear before sitting down. in the living room.
He looked at Sean at the first instance and smiled. “I’ve heard a lot about your achievements, Mr. Graham. You are indeed extraordinary as rumored.” Sean stood up and answered humbly, “You’re over 50 years old, Mr. Pearson. Yet, you’re still graceful and dignified as ever.” the They met gazes and smiled as they sat down. Lawrence didn’t immediately bring up proposed marriage between the Grahams and the Pearsons but looked at Josh instead. “Who has earned your ire in the family that you would go against them like a dog after a bone?” Patricia was worried that he would hit Josh and spoke up, “You know how it is when it comes. to young people and their feelings. Be gentle.” “You’re always siding with him, but have you seen what he did?” Lawrence then looked at Kelly, who had a frightened expression on her face, and reached out his hand. “Kelly, come here. Speak your mind. I’ll support your decision to go against whatever Moon company that is behind this.” Tears brimmed Kelly’s eyes as she ran to Lawrence’s side. Alas, Sean stood in between them as she was about to hug Lawrence.
“If you want to have your loving father-daughter moment, it can wait until I’ve left,” Sean said coldly, as he couldn’t stand to see Kelly and Lawrence in any form of embrace.
Lawrence was Abigail’s father. Yet, Kelly was using Lawrence to go against her.
Sean felt sick. just imagining the scene, forget witnessing it.
Lawrence frowned. “Since you know you’re an outsider, why are you here?” “You should ask your daughter,” Sean replied curtly before sitting down again.
O 2/3 Kelly approached Lawrence and said softly, “Dad, I told you on the phone. I don’t want to pursue L.Moon or Luna. She’s about to become my sister-in-law. I don’t want to make things awkward.” A snicker flashed across Lawrence’s face. “I can consider your marriage with Sean. However, if Luna wants to marry your brother, that’ll only happen if he’s not a Pearson.” He wasn’t angry. Instead, he simply regarded Josh coldly. “Think it through. Do you want a woman who leaked a video of your sister sleeping to the whole internet or this family?” Sean also looked at Josh but kept his mouth shut.
“This has nothing to do with Luna. It’s a misunderstanding,” Josh spoke gently.
“I don’t care, Josh. It was clear that she set up the camera. Do I need to know what other hidden agendas she has about it?” Lawrence’s voice turned sharp.
“Yes. Kelly just returned. So, we should all pamper and dote on her. But the problem is, she was the one who provoked Abigail first! Why wasn’t she open about liking Sean in the first place?! She even lied to me that she was going to apologize-” “Shut up!” Lawrence didn’t want to hear Josh’s explanation as he said coldly, “Your sister’s been missing for so many years. Have you ever thought about what she’s been through?”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 476-She Will Have My Child Josh stayed silent, as did Scarlett, who was standing on the side.
Lawrence then continued, “You are forcing your morals on someone who’s been missing for 20 years. You had a good environment that allowed you to become an outstanding person in every aspect. Your sister didn’t have such an opportunity. As long as she’s not committing a crime, this family will keep her safe no matter what she does. If she wants to attack or even openly suppress L.Moon, I will give her my full support!” Josh’s Adam apple bobbed. A moment later, he met Lawrence’s eyes and asked, “Aren’t you causing her more harm than good?”
my “She’s an adult. I believe she knows where to draw the line. Besides, I’m giving her explicit permission to do so. You don’t need to force your morals on her!” Lawrence exclaimed.
“But I like Luna. I’ve slept with her, and she will bear my child.” Josh was unrelenting. He understood that he couldn’t demand Kelly to become courteous.
Still, how could she bully innocent people as she liked just because she went missing for years?
“Get out of here now. I’m kicking you out of the family! There’s no way Luna is marrying. into this family. Kelly was already being nice to her by letting L.Moon go. You’re shameless!” Lawrence was so furious that the veins popped on his forehead.
“Alright. That’s enough. Why do you have to make a big deal out of this? Just ask Luna to apologize to Kelly. Why are you acting like this? He likes her.” Scarlett couldn’t bear to be stern on Josh.
Plus, they had already handled the video posted online. Besides, it was Kelly who provoked. Abigail in the first place because she liked Sean. So, the Pearsons were in the wrong. They had to admit to their mistakes.
“Why should she apologize? Kelly intentionally did all those things and used my love for her to bully someone else. Why isn’t she the one apologizing? I understand that she might not have had a good education since she was missing for many years. However, not only are you guys not correcting her, but you are also aiding and abetting her. This isn’t what you two have ever taught me!” Josh retorted sharply in return.
Lawrence raised his arm, about to hit Josh while Scarlett ran up to stop him.
“There’s someone else here. What are you doing?” “It’s only me or him!” He was fuming.
Then, Sean drawled out the words, “Luna is Abigail’s best friend, and a friend of mine as well. Mr. Pearson, since I promised Abigail to have a marriage alliance with the Pearsons, please be 1/3 open-hearted and accept Abigail’s friend.” “You aren’t even part of the family yet. Who gives you the right to meddle in my family’s affairs?” Lawrence put his hand down as he snapped unhappily.
“There will be a union between our families,” Sean said impassively.
On the other hand, Kelly bit her lips with joy when she heard that. “Dad, forget it.
It was my fault. I did something wrong and angered Luna. Please stop being angry, okay?” “You’d better think carefully if she’s worth it for you to treat your family like this!” Lawrence then told Sean, “You follow me to the study.” His tone was obviously warmer since Sean was about to be his son-in-law.
Gary then walked up to Josh’s side with his walking stick in hand and whispered, “Are you going to give up on the family? You’re making such a big fuss with your dad just for at woman.” “I just wanted justice,” Josh said before walking out.
“Where are you going?!” Scarlett shouted as she ran after him.
Lawrence, who was about to walk up the stairs, told her, “Let him leave. He’s discarding this family all for a woman. All these years of education on him all went down the drain!” “What is your problem?! He finally has a girl he likes and wants to marry her.
Yet, here you are, raining on his parade!” Scarlett cried. This was her son. She could already feel as though. she was being stabbed through the heart whenever the thought her son would never return due to this argument appeared in her mind.
Meanwhile, Josh left without looking back.
She continued to sob, “Love is never rational. If it were, it wouldn’t be love anymore. Why do you have to be so harsh? We’ve taught L.Moon a lesson.
Can’t you just let this go?” Sean couldn’t help but cough lightly, interjecting, “Lawrence, do you still want to talk?” “You’ve not married my daughter. Watch your tongue!” Lawrence lectured with a stern look.
Nonetheless, Sean just smiled at him.
Then, they entered the study, but Lawrence’s expression wasn’t a joyful one.
“This is your second marriage. I know about your secret marriage with Abigail.
My daughter knows about this too. Fortunately, she doesn’t know who your partner was. You can’t tell her who your exwife is.” 2.3 Lawrence wasn’t particularly satisfied with Sean since he was a divorcee. He wouldn’t agree to this if it wasn’t because of the fact that Kelly liked Sean.
Sean then said, “I want to have a marriage alliance with the Pearsons using the Grahams” name. Likewise, I request you to think the same.” A marriage alliance was only concerned about the interests of both parties and not feelings.
“What do you plan to do after getting married, then?” Lawrence was instantly disgruntled. So, his compromise isn’t because he liked Kelly, even if it was for a little bit? He considered her request purely out of interest.
“Nothing. Since Kelly was the one who proposed a marriage alliance, we should do that. The person I want to marry is the young lady of the Pearsons. I’m not asking for much, right?” Sean smiled, but there was an enigmatic gleam in his
I Want a Divorce Chapter 477-She’s Sexy and Cool Abigail and Luna were visited by Josh, who allegedly ran away from home.
They sat at the counter in the office with Abigail, who was slowly sipping on a cup of milk.
Cameron made it for her. So, she had to finish it even if she didn’t like it.
“Only the office lounge can be used. If you don’t find it too cramped, you can stay here with me,” Luna told Josh gently as she propped her chin on her hand.
“I don’t mind,” Josh immediately answered.
Abigail was still amazed by everything that had gone down, as he didn’t seem like the type to get into an argument with his family, considering his personality.
Was it really true that love. could make people do crazy things?
“I’m going to sleep. You guys enjoy.” She yawned.
Abigail couldn’t help but think about the marriage alliance between Sean and the Pearsons. after returning to her room. She felt restless and couldn’t find the energy to do anything. She didn’t know what was wrong with her. Is this feeling I have toward Sean just out of a guilty conscience?
That night, she tossed and turned on the bed, but sleep refused to come.
News about Sean marrying the daughter of the Pearsons soon made headlines on major news websites.
When Luna went to look for Abigail, she was busy going through the plan for Fairy Meadow’s new product launch.
“Sean is about to get engaged to Kelly!” “What do you think of this plan?” It was as if Abigail didn’t hear her as she passed the document in her hands to Luna.
Luna took the file and couldn’t help but repeat herself, saying, “Did you hear what I just said?” “Yes. I’ve known this way before it made the headlines. Why? Josh didn’t tell you?” There wasn’t a hint of distress on Abigail’s face.
Luna suddenly felt that she didn’t need to be worried at all after looking at Abigail’s expression.
|||
13 “Luna, he did this because the Pearsons were about to target us,” Abigail explained calmly. “So, we have to become stronger.” “I should have discussed matters with you before acting.” Luna regretted secretly setting up. the camera in Kelly’s room. She had resigned to quell the discussion around the incident. Alas, Sean still had to help them handle the Pearsons.
“It’s in the past. Take a look at the plan. If it’s alright, I’ll sign and ask Howard to get working on it,” Abigail ordered.
Luna acknowledged the order and got to work.
As Abigail was busy with the launching of Fairy Meadow’s new spring collection, news of Sean and Kelly’s marriage was still circulated online for a good few days as the Pearsons spent. a lot to keep it trending. Luna heard from Josh that Kelly requested it. Why? Simply because she wanted to show Abigail that no matter how nice Sean was to Abigail, he would still become her husband.
The collection launch was originally set to be in early March but was pushed to mid-March. On the 10th of March, Fairy Meadow started its presale by doing marketing and publicity. Even though it gained lots of discussions online, its reputation was still less than ideal.
It was nighttime when Abigail went on Instagram to take a look as the launch was happening. the next day and realized that fans of Fairy Meadow and L.Moon were arguing in the comments.
I just don’t understand. Fairy Meadow has been in business for 10 years, selling female apparel. How did they become the subsidiary of a scandal-ridden studio like L.Moon? Can’t they find a better company to take over them? It’s a question if a studio that suddenly got popular like this could do female apparel properly!
‘How are they scandal-ridden? Luna’s already resigned. Without her, L.Moon won’t survive since Alana’s just a designer. If it wasn’t for Fairy Meadow, Luna wouldn’t need to resign. It’s just weird because wasn’t the camera already there before Luna entered Kelly’s room? Why did they claim that she was the one to leak the video?” ‘Does Luna not feel ashamed that she invaded another woman’s privacy as a woman herself? She resigned so that L.Moon could continue to make a profit.
She didn’t even apologize to the victim just because the victim’s brother was her boyfriend. I think the reason L.Moon moved its headquarters to Capitalis was to help Luna achieve her dreams of marrying a rich man.
How many of you who are attacking L.Moon are customers of Fairy Meadow?
I’m a VIP customer of Fairy Meadow but have only spent 600 over the last three years on them. Want to know why? Because Fairy Meadow isn’t what it used to be. They just attached their logo on other brands’ out-of-season clothes and sold them for hundreds. L.Moon is blind to even consider collaborating with such a shameless brand. In my opinion, they’re ruining their [1] 2/3 reputation. I don’t think even L.Moon can save a rotten brand like Fairy Meadow A war broke out in the comments, with many parties joining in. All in all, the prelaunch was a successful one despite the negativity in the comments. Abigail eventually got bored reading them and exited the app.
The next morning, the sky was clear. Hence, Abigail arrived at the product launch that was bustling with people. Several major media in Capitalis were also there, taking a few pictures here and there.
She entered the venue, and all eyes fell on her. Then, other key people in the industry entered before the models for the catwalk walked in as well.
Throughout this time, a live broadcast was happening simultaneously.
Abigail had a headset that she used to communicate with Howard to control the scene.
Soon, the launch started. Thus, Howard went up on stage to give a speech as the CEO of Fairy Meadow.
After he was done, Abigail sauntered on stage, dressed in a black suit with a deep V-neckline. She had shorn her hair short and dyed it silver. She also wore dark red lipstick and smokey makeup that, when paired with the black gem accessories on her neck and hands, made her look androgynous and cool.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 478-People started whispering in the crowd the moment she stepped on stage. Even the chat of the live broadcast was livelier than when Howard was giving his speech.
‘F*ck! Alana’s changed from her usual ice queen style. I love this new, sexy, cool look. Master!’ ‘She’s indeed a designer. Her outfit is perfect. She’s taken my heart with just one look. How could she be cold, handsome, and sexy simultaneously? I’d call her master, too.
‘It suddenly feels like Fairy Meadow still has a chance. After all, this is Alana we’re talking about. Her outfit looks awesome. I bet that this outfit will become a
hit once the launch ends.” Abigail glanced at her script before delivering her speech. She didn’t beat around the bush and gave a brief explanation about the purpose of the collaboration of Fairy Meadow and L.Moon. Toward the end, she raised her voice, “Please look forward to Fairy Meadow blooming again on its 10th anniversary.” Then, the stage went dark.
‘Argh! Master! Let me look at her more!” ‘Alana’s like a chameleon. She was an ice queen but pulled the sexy androgynous look as well. I’m so glad I’m a fan of hers.
‘As an anti-fan, even I’m attracted by her beauty… Sh*t. I’m wavering.
Sean was still in a daze, sitting under the stage as Abigail’s outfit gave him a huge visual shock.
She… didn’t wear a bra under her suit! He wasn’t happy about it but had to admit that her outfit. was attractive.
Lights on the catwalk stage lit up, and Sean’s wandering thoughts snapped back to the scene. A white screen was slowly lowered as black ink flowed down when the music started playing.
Many beautiful women started to walk onto the screen dressed in female apparel from different eras. As the music’s rhythm picked up, the scenes started to flash as well before stopping at the 1940s era.
Then, the lights started to change as they illuminated models that walked down the catwalk. in different dresses before everyone’s eyes. Dresses for different age groups were presented. by models, and the eye-catching patterns were dazzling. Then, models were dressed in clothes appropriate for university girls, looking bright and young, especially with the color choices of the dresses.
As the music changed, the outfits also shifted from the 1940s to the present era.
The most popular apparel of each era turned into beautiful works of art after Abigail redesigned them. with the aesthetic sense of the current era in mind.

1/3 r ‘I have to say that Alana’s got them skills. She can design high-end gowns and also normal clothes for ordinary people. Fairy Meadow did well with this nostalgic sentiment.
‘Fairy Meadow’s clothes aren’t cheap, though. Many of them are in the hundreds… It’s not. much use for ordinary people like us, even if they’re pretty.
It’s a pity. I quite like a few of the new products.
‘The lowest is 270. I bought their stuff a few years ago, and they were nice. It’s just that I couldn’t afford them later on. I just wanted to show off in university and bought them once. But… God, her designs are so good. I really want them. I’m gonna cry!
“Would clothes that models wear on a catwalk be cheaper than 150? Even though she designed clothes for everyday wear, I can’t even afford one of them with my monthly salary. Besides, Fairy Meadow’s quality has gotten really awful.
Their chiffon dress would always. have loose threads. It’s so annoying!
Abigail stood up to get some air outside once she saw that the catwalk was under control.
Suddenly, she noticed that someone was beside her after standing for a while.
She turned around to see Sean and demanded unhappily, “Why are you here?
Shouldn’t you be with your fiancé?” “I’m here to buy some clothes for my fiancé,” Sean raised a brow as he teased her on purpose.
Abigail tilted her head and looked at him. “Once L.Moon makes money, I’ll compensate you for the emotional damage.” Sean’s eyes were glued to her. After a while, he finally spoke, “After you left me, you’ve really let yourself loose. You aren’t even wearing a bra.” Nevertheless, Abigail wasn’t the least bit bothered as she replied, “I don’t know when Luna’s case can be settled. Changing my image can help the company.” She was ready to make the change because she understood that she needed to grow in order to support L.Moon.
Sean was silent for a moment before he asked her seriously, “You don’t have anything to say to me about my marriage alliance with the Pearsons?” She switched off the headset before turning around and grabbing his tie. “What do you want me to say? Did you talk to me before making the decision? You say that I’m afraid of being. indebted to you. Yes, I am. I just don’t understand you.
I’ve settled the issue with Fairy Meadow. Why did you choose to have an alliance with the Pearsons?” He silently watched her getting worked up before slowly curling his lips into a smile. “That’s right. Be angry. This means you still care about me.” |||
23 “Sean, is your marriage so worthless in your eyes? Is it an actual joke to you?
You didn’t like me when we first got married. However, you didn’t say no and wasted three years of our lives. Eventually, our marriage ended messily. How is it that you haven’t learned your lesson?!” Abigail was getting utterly infuriated.
“What about you? Have you ever liked me? Think about it. Did you marry me because you liked me, or was it to repay the favor? I kept reflecting after the divorce. It’s true that I wasn’t at good husband. I apologize for that. Regardless, I’m still confused about one thing. If I was a good husband, would our marriage actually work out?” Sean’s eyes were filled with seriousness.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 479-Care About Her Unconsciously Abigail was stunned by Sean’s question. She let go of his tie but noticed that it was wrinkled. and said, “Smoothen it yourself.” Then, his long, slender fingers smoothened it before he looked at her again.
“You’ve not answered my question.” “There’s no point in answering that, considering our current relationship.” Abigail turned around to enter the venue right after that.
“I can never get an honest answer out of you.” Sean followed behind her. “I don’t understand. Is it that hard to answer my question?”
Abigail didn’t want to answer him. So, she turned around and snapped, “I won’t feel guilty or resentful. You can marry her with peace of mind!” Then, she strode into the venue, leaving Sean standing there analyzing her reaction. She’s angry, alright. But it’s hard to say if she’s jealous… Abigail returned to the venue, still feeling a little furious. Nevertheless, she quickly switched on the headset, and Howard’s voice instantly popped up, “Where did you go? I was calling for you.” “Went out for some air,” she replied calmly.
“Oh. More than a million people are watching the live broadcast. This is a good sign.” They would earn a sizable revenue even if only 10% of the million viewers placed an order. Abigail hummed in agreement, pushed aside the influence Sean had on her, and said coldly, “Control the scene. There are so many spring outfits available here. So, there’s bound to be one the viewers will like.” “Okay. Will do!” She could hear the excitement in his voice. He was watching the live broadcast and saw that the chats were positive. The main problem the viewers had was the pricing of each item.
As the catwalk came to an end, so did the conference. Abigail exited the venue and was surrounded by a huge group of reporters. She faced the cameras confidently, shining like a bright star.
Scarlett was watching the broadcast and couldn’t help but teli Lawrence, who was beside her. “I can’t believe Abigail still managed to take down Fairy Meadow even after we’ve targeted. her.
All she heard from her men was that shareholders of Fairy Meadow agreed to vote L.Moon |||
1/3 out at the start. Yet, a majority of them changed their mind at the last minute. As a result, Abigail gained the upper hand. After that, a shareholder sold his 15%
shares of the company due to internal disagreements, and Abigail now owned 19% of Fairy Meadow’s shares.
Lawrence was busy with work and replied coldly, “That’s because we let her off the hook. What is she even capable of?” “Well, she’s good at designing. I like a lot of the spring collection,” Scarlett said fairly.
“So, you’re going to buy the clothes and let Kelly feel uncomfortable seeing them? Stop mentioning her in the house,” he whispered.
Scarlett harrumphed. Then, she couldn’t help but mutter again after watching the news for a little longer, “How could she look so much like us?” “There are many people in the world who look alike but aren’t related.” Even though Lawrence was busy, he would still reply to her every sentence.
“I was actually hoping that Abigail could be friends with Kelly. If they are friends, she could design clothes for Kelly. All the other girls would be so jealous of Kelly then,” she continued, to mumble.
Lawrence suddenly paused typing and replied after a while. “She’s got a backbone.” Abigail never backed down, even after being threatened numerous times.
On one hand, Scarlett resented Abigail for not designing clothes for Kelly, but she couldn’t help but pay attention to her every move on the other. She genuinely admired Abigail’s talent in design. In her opinion, there was a high chance that the Pearsons’ oppression of L.Moon would only accelerate Abigail’s growth.
“Fairy Meadow has been losing money for three years. Why did you want to collaborate with them?” In the scene, a reporter was raising his microphone as he asked Abigail.
Abigail’s silver hair was rather messy due to the wind, but she still looked stunning and attractive. She looked into the camera with her beautiful eyes and answered confidently, “Because I like their name. Plus, they’ve been with us for many years. Even if they weren’t managed well due to internal conflicts, these aren’t issues that I couldn’t handle.” “Do you know that the live broadcast has reached millions? However, we’ve got reliable intel that the customers are worried about the price. Typically, prices of Fairy Meadow products. are in the hundreds. Would the price be even more expensive now that you’re the designer of these products?” There was a reason behind the reporter’s question. After all, Abigail won the most prestigious design award abroad Logically speaking, it would be understandable if her designs were sold at a higher price.
111 23 J Abigail raised her hand to straighten her flying hair before drawling, “Although many clothes. are affected by brand premium, I’ve always believed that clothes serve us. I hope that Fairy Meadow can become a mass-market brand. Of course, I still accept customizations.” The reporter understood her words immediately. This would mean that the price would be affordable. “When would the spring collection go on sale? Are they limited?” “I think it’s midnight sharp. It’s not limited. As I said, Fairy Meadow is a massmarket brand.” Abigail planned to leave once she was done with the interview.
Then, Scarlett exclaimed angrily, “Why wouldn’t she be willing to design for Kelly, then?” “There are so many designers. Why are you so fixated on her?” Lawrence asked in confusion.
“Because her designs are really pretty,” she answered with a pout.
He sighed but didn’t say more..
I Want a Divorce Chapter 480-Wanted To Know Your Feelings.At 12.00AM, all of Fairy Meadow’s online stores were updated with new products. Some were priced in the thousands, but some were as low as a few dollars. There were many options, with prices ranging from low to high. Those in the hundreds and thousands were, of course. of better quality since the materials for those products weren’t cheap in the first place.The internet went crazy because Fairy Meadow’s sale was trending.‘Damn it. I’ve never imagined that Fairy Meadow would sell clothes in the dollars, and they all look so good! F*ck. The biggest problem now is that I didn’t manage to nab them. Who clicked so fast and bought my shirt?” I’m eyeing the clothes in the hundreds. They’re all so pretty. But I don’t have money! Is it too late to beg for money now? I also want to wear beautiful clothes.“Those in the tens are nice too. Did anyone else notice that female clothes have been made. smaller and smaller as the years went by? It’s because brands are selling the idea that being. thin and fair is beautiful. But I’ve taken a look at Fairy Meadow’s size chart, and it’s normal! Besides, the models they used this time also had different body shapes. They weren’t all tall and skinny.“I noticed that too! It’s a blessing for taller girls with bigger frames. It’s so hard for me to buy clothes online because they all turn out to be too small. I don’t have to worry about that with Fairy Meadow’s sizes. This is the good thing with a woman being the brand’s owner. Only Alana is this considerate!” Fairy Meadow was already receiving heaps of good comments online. So, it was hard to imagine how they would be received in stores. Abigail had naturally noticed how hard it was for normal women to buy clothes because of the fair and thin notion that brands were selling. So, she adopted the international standard for women’s clothing sizes.So, she went to sleep peacefully after reading through the happy comments from her consumers. She could finally take a day off the next day after throwing herself into work for more than a month.However, her phone was blasted by Howard at 10.00AM.Abigail protested unhappily as she hugged her pillow, “Didn’t I say last night that I’m taking today off? Don’t call me about work!” “I can’t help it. The cheaper clothes were sold out in seconds last night. The company is considering doing a pre-sale. Do you think L.Moon’s factory can help make more?” Howard asked enthusiastically. This was Fairy Meadow’s first time blooming again after its downturn.“We can do the pre-sale. But you have to collect a deposit. Every piece of clothing should 1/3 have half the deposit. They’re already cheap. We can’t lower the deposit anymore to prevent our competitors from tricking us. If that happens, we might end up not selling the clothes at all,” Abigail narrowed her eyes as she answered.“Sure. What you say goes. Also, I’ve calculated the sales for all the physical and online stores. from last night until now-it has surpassed 7 million.” Howard was shaking from the excitement.“7 million isn’t a lot. We can’t even pay Fairy Meadow’s taxes,” Abigail answered.Howard couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m already very grateful, you know. There are still celebrations. We can take this slowly. There’s a year left.” many Unfortunately, Abigail didn’t have that much time. L.Moon had been oppressed since last. year and was only performing better recently.“Our philosophy is to serve our customers with sincerity. We have to get better.That way, no one can bully us anymore,” she told him quietly.He hummed in agreement and promptly got to work.Abigail turned around to watch the sun outside after ending the call.The smoother things were going for Fairy Meadow and L.Moon, the more she felt that this was due to Sean and Luna. She was a little upset because Luna wasn’t here to celebrate this. with her. Then, there was also the fact that Sean compromised and made a marriage alliance. with someone he didn’t like for her.She had once suspected that Sean never loved her. Yet, could everything he was doing now be considered love? If he never felt anything toward her in their three years of marriage, why would he still pay such a price for her after their divorce?At that moment, Analise entered her room with some food. “Come eat something before you sleep again.” Abigail sat up on her bed and watched her. “Grandma, I have a question.” “Go ahead.” Analise placed the bowl on the table and answered her as she sat on the office. chair.“Sean asked me. If he was a good husband, would our marriage still end up in a mess? What do you think? I’ve thought about it for a long time but couldn’t think of an answer,” Abigail asked Analise hoarsely as she grabbed her hair in frustration.Analise stared at her before saying softly, “Many married couples live their lives in a daze. How many couples get married after being fully prepared? How many men can understand the responsibilities of being a husband?“You and Sean. You both are too aware of the realities of life. That’s probably why both of insist on knowing what your feelings for each other are. That’s why things ended the way they did.” Analise fiddled with a pen on her table and sighed.you “Abigail, you know that in my generation, we get married when our parents think we’re a good match. We only had the time to slowly get to know one another after marriage. During this period, we learned to tolerate and slowly understand each other. You and Sean didn’t do that.” Analise smiled. “It’s time to let bygones be bygones.” “I just wanted to know if he took on the responsibilities of being a husband, would we have a different outcome,” Abigail whispered.“Not necessarily,” she answered solemnly.
