Ch. 491..500
I Want a Divorce Chapter 491-Are You Going to Leave Me Alone?
Josh couldn’t help but ask, “Have you never thought about our future?” After a moment’s worth of contemplation, Luna suddenly asked Josh, “Have you ever thought. about how I felt when I was wrongly accused? Have you considered my unhappiness when I was forced to resign from L. Moon?” Her words left Josh speechless.
It turned out that Luna had never truly forgiven Kelly.
“You could have told me that you didn’t post the video. I’ve been investigating all along. Why couldn’t you wait?” He countered Luna.
Luna snorted coldly before retorting, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who swallows grievances, Josh? I’ve done my best by not retaliating against her on the spot, for your sake.” “I’ll come over to talk to you properly,” Josh said before promptly ending the call.
When Abigail arrived at the office and saw the scratches on Luna’s face, she immediately sent her assistant to buy some medicine.
“What happened?” Abigail sat beside her, concern written all over her face.
“I’ve been smearing Kelly online for several days. She found out today, and we had a quarrel,” Luna said with a smile.
“Since you’re together with Josh now, why bother with these things? Can’t you let it go?” Abigail frowned, looking genuinely distressed.
Luna’s gaze carried a touch of coldness. “I just can’t let this go. Josh said he’d investigate, but how much progress has he made? Doesn’t he know how wronged I feel for being falsely accused? I want to return to L. Moon, but I can’t do that until this matter has been resolved.” Abigail hugged her and gently patted her back. “It doesn’t matter when you want to return; L.. Moon will always welcome you with open arms and have your back.” “Whatever. L. Moon is currently on the rise. I won’t risk returning now. If things don’t work out with Josh today, I’ll break up with him and go back to Pendorf. I’m tired of all this, Luna whispered to Abigail.
She believed that after the way she treated Kelly today, Kelly would soon come to her senses about her aim all along.
Luna didn’t understand who was backing Kelly behind the scenes, but those people kept 13 tarnishing L. Moon’s reputation. She felt she needed to distance herself as soon as possible.
Abigail released her and looked into her eyes. “Are you going to leave me alone here in Capitalis?” “I’ll still help you with work, but I really want to return to Pendorf, Luna said, her eyes filled. with determination.
Abigail knew her mind was made up. So, she nodded and replied, “Then, go.
However, you’d better visit me often.” Luna squeezed her hand and smiled. “Planes make it easy. I’ll definitely come to see you from time to time. Don’t worry.” Abigail nodded.
Josh arrived shortly after, and to Abigail’s surprise, Sean came with him.
“Why are you here?” Abigail looked displeased the moment she saw him.
Sean was Kelly’s fiancé now. Now that it was clear that Kelly and Luna were having a tiff, wasn’t he just causing more trouble by making this trip?
“Why do you think?” Sean met her gaze before turning his attention to Luna.
When Kelly informed him, he had gone to the Pearsons’ house and found Kelly in a sorry state. She had lost a lot of hair and had numerous scratches on her body.
Furthermore, Luna had been tirelessly smearing Kelly online. She even intentionally edited videos to suggest that he and Abigail were a couple. Each time Kelly’s reputation took a hit, she quickly followed up with another attack, trying to paint Kelly as an ignorant woman.
In today’s world, where girls were becoming more independent, the image of a delicate and ignorant woman was indeed unappealing. Nowadays, it wasn’t a compliment anymore.
Nevertheless, Luna’s motive for doing all this to get back at Kelly didn’t align with her character at all.
Josh was mad at Luna, but he believed she was genuinely wronged.
“Luna, apologize to my sister. My dad said everything would be fine then. I’ll definitely investigate the camera situation. I won’t let you down. How about it, okay?” Josh tried to keep himself composed and not make her feel worse.
“I won’t apologize. Do you think she didn’t hurt me?” Luna exposed her neck and face, showing him the marks. “I scratched her arm because the housekeeper insisted on pulling me. If the housekeeper hadn’t pulled me, I wouldn’t have hurt her. You can check the 2/3 surveillance cameras.” “Still.. you’ve been continuously smearing her online… Sean is already engaged to her. By posting those videos, you’re only making her feel worse,” Josh said gently.
“Yeah, so what if she feels bad? That’s what I’m happy about. She threatened Sean with L. Moon. Would Sean still be with her if she didn’t? She’s just asking for trouble! We didn’t know each other, but she went behind our backs to harm us. She even forced me to leave L. Moon. Why should I let her off?” Luna argued loudly with Josh.
“Luna-” “Abigail, don’t bother trying to persuade me. Josh always talks about investigating our situation, but what’s the use? The Pearsons said that even if she created a huge mess, they’d clean it up for her as they had the means. So, even if he investigates, what’s the point? In the end, he’ll just ask me to forgive her,” Luna said with a voice full of frustration.
Just as Josh was about to speak, Sean interjected resolutely, “Luna’s right. Ever since Kelly first provoked L. Moon, it’s always L. Moon at a disadvantage. What has she lost in all of this?”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 492-I Will Definitely Remarry As Josh looked at Luna, he slowly came to understand that the conflict between Kelly and Luna today was the result of accumulated grievances over time.
She was the head of L. Moon, and Kelly forced her to resign from the company.
How could she sincerely accept Kelly? He found it impossible to mediate Kelly and Luna’s relationship.
Thus, he couldn’t demand that Luna accept Kelly either.
After a moment of silence, Josh said, “I understand that this situation is not your fault. I can’t ask you to accept Kelly for my sake either.”
He paused, looking into Luna’s eyes, and then continued, “I also can’t give up my sister for you. You know she’s special to us. We searched for her for years. If it has come to the point. where you both harbor such hatred, I think I’ll need a lot of time to figure out how to prevent this mutual animosity.” “You don’t need to figure anything out. I’ll never accept someone like her in my lifetime. She’s like a malignant tumor that’s repulsive to me,” Luna said without reservation.
Sean touched his nose. If only the truth of the matter could be revealed sooner, then Josh wouldn’t have to make a choice at all.
“Both of you, calm down. Luna, even if you can’t accept Kelly, when you and Josh get married in the future, you will be a separate family. Your life will have nothing to do with Kelly. If Josh can accept spending holidays alone with his family, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t work,” Sean advised, unable to hold back.
Abigail looked at him in surprise.
Josh pursed his lips, not saying a word. He simply looked at Luna, waiting for her to speak.
Luna looked at Josh, remaining silent for a moment before saying softly, “Let me go back to Pendorf to calm down for a while. I know you’re in a difficult position, stuck between me and your family. I don’t want to make things harder for you.” Her words softened Josh’s heart completely.
He stepped forward and held Luna’s hand tightly, looking at her as he said, “I know you’re not in the wrong. You shouldn’t have to apologize for this. It’s not difficult for me. I choose you. If my sister doesn’t apologize for what happened before, I’ll choose you.” A small smile played on Sean’s lips. This was the right outcome. It wasn’t worth it to become enemies over someone like Kelly.

1/3 r Luna was originally very determined and strong-willed. Still, she couldn’t help but sniffle when she heard Josh’s words, and her eyes reddened. “I’m not angry reddened. “I’m not angry with you. I’ve always been angry at Kelly because she sent people to bully us… We have no enmity with her, so why does she treat us like this?” Sean looked at Abigail and gestured with his eyes for her to step outside when he saw that the couple was now completely in their own world.
Abigail had naturally also considered leaving the premises for a time.
The two of them quietly went outside. Abigail sat in the meeting area and got Sean a bottle of iced coffee. She said softly, “I never thought Luna would hate Kelly so much.” Sean felt that they were oversimplifying things.
Luna had single-handedly supported L. Moon for three years, so her emotions were undoubtedly stable. She knew exactly what the consequences of going against Kelly would be, but she still did it.
“Luna has suffered quite a bit and has grievances in her heart. It’s normal,” Sean said, messaging Xavien with his head down.
He needed to check Luna’s subsequent actions. What if she alerted the enemy and ruined all their plans?
Abigail wished to strengthen their position immediately. Even if she persuaded Luna to return to L.Moon now, there was no point.
“Don’t worry. As long as Josh is by her side, there shouldn’t be too many problems.” Sean finished messaging Xavien and then looked at Abigail.
Abigail felt that Luna and Josh did like each other, but there was still a problem.
After all, Kelly was the precious daughter the Pearsons had just found.
“Do you think they can make it? The Pearsons have got to be furious right now.” Abigail couldn’t help but ask Sean. She knew that Sean had probably interceded on Luna’s behalf to ensure her relationship with Josh worked out.
Now, Luna had fought with Kelly again… She was really losing any of the Pearsons’ favor.
“It depends on how long Josh can tolerate Luna,” Sean said, unable to resist urging once more.
Abigail fell silent.
Sean asked her casually, “Do you think Kelly and I can make it?” 2/3 Abigail looked at him in disbelief. “If you want to be with her, be with her. Why are you asking me?” He could change his mind if he liked. After all, it was the Pearsons who were pursuing him now, not the other way around. Even if he was chasing after Kelly’s skirts, he could do so with confidence. That was what Sean was like. He was always in control.
Sean looked at her for a while with a smile, then suddenly said, “Abigail, I will definitely remarry.” Abigail instinctively looked at him.
Sean’s expression was serious and not like he was joking.
He seemed to have let things go. Could it be that her cold and indifferent attitude had finally led him to choose to let go?
“If I remarry, will you be sad?” Sean asked again.
“No!” Abigail said with a cold face.
She hadn’t thought about this question at all.
There was a time when she was young when marrying Sean had indeed been a dream of hers. After she did marry him, she thought her dream had come true.
But… Dreams were just dreams, and one day she would wake up.
Sean raised an eyebrow, looking quite serene. “I knew that would be your answer.” Abigail quietly drank her coffee. She felt uncomfortable with his composure, but in the end, she said, “Sean, I realized that marrying you was just a dream I had as a young girl. Now that I’ve woken up, I’ve returned to reality. I hope you will, too.”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 493-Cunning and Scheming Sean didn’t reply. Instead, he unscrewed the lid of his bottle, tore off the foil cover, and took a sip.
“The taste is just average. I still prefer hand-brewed coffee,” Sean said, his tone tinged with a hint of disdain, shaking the bottle in his hand.
“I got it for you just so you would have something to drink. Why are you being so picky?” Abigail retorted, annoyed.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then Josh came out.
His
eyes were still a little red, and so was his mouth. It seemed Luna hadn’t gone easy on him.
“Is everything settled?” Abigail asked, feeling a bit awkward.
“Yeah, she’s going to Pendorf to take a break for now,” Josh replied softly.
Abigail nodded but didn’t say anything more.
“Are you coming back with me?” Josh asked Sean.
Sean’s expression was indifferent. “No, I have my own things to take care of.
But let me remind you, Luna is upset because of the leaked video. Luna is indeed somewhat at fault in this matter, but don’t you think it’s necessary to investigate the person who placed the surveillance in Kelly’s room in advance?
Or, perhaps the person who exposed the video?” He didn’t directly say that Kelly was behind this, as he was considering Josh’s feelings.
“I’ve been looking into it but haven’t found any leads,” Josh said, glancing at Sean.
Sean immediately understood what he meant. After all, when Sean had sent the man Kelly sent to Pendorf into her room, it was done discreetly.
If someone wanted to avoid being discovered, it was possible.
“Well, even if you can’t find anything, it doesn’t matter. It’s your girlfriend who has been wronged after all,” Sean said casually.
Josh didn’t say anything more.
Abigail had already gone back to her office.
The two of them stood outside for a while before leaving.
|||
O 1/3 Back in the office, Abigail saw Luna packing her bags.
“Aren’t you going to rest for a few days before you leave?” Abigail was still reluctant to let her 1.
“I’ve been in Capitalis for a long time. I want to finally enjoy some time in Pendorf. After all, that’s our hometown,” Luna said with a smile, her head lowered.
Abigail nodded, and she went over to help Luna pack her clothes.
Luna finished packing her bags and left.
Abigail didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye to her as she was busy preparing for a meeting.
Sean returned to his accommodation, and Xavien called him back.
“After Luna left the Pearson Residence, she went to a pharmacy to tend to her wounds. I didn’t find anything unusual,” Xavien said in a low voice.
Sean said in a low voice, “Going to the pharmacy is normal, but something doesn’t feel right.” Xavien fell silent.
“She’s gone back to Pendorf. We’ll follow her there and keep an eye on her,” Sean continued. He had observed the wounds on Kelly’s body today. He had a feeling that Luna didn’t do this just to get back at Kelly. Whether the video was leaked by Kelly or not was still unknown. Yet, Luna had insisted that it was Kelly.
Plus, she had even planned this revenge for a long time. There was no way Sean was going to think that Luna didn’t have a plan in mind.
Besides, one of his tasks was to keep an eye on Kelly. Now that they were at such a crucial point, he couldn’t afford to let Luna ruin everything.
Of course, Sean decided to delay his return to Capitalis by two days in order to avoid arousing Kelly’s suspicion. He had even used the excuse of Colby being hospitalized.
Abigail also called Colby after hearing about it.
Colby sat on the bed in his hospital room and answered the phone. He had it on speaker, and Sean was sitting by his side, peeling a pear for him.
I’m doing just fine here. How are you? How is everything in Capitalis? Your grandmother looks like she’s adapting quite well there. She can even lead a team now,” Colby said while looking at Sean.
Sean continued to focus on peeling the pear while scoffing softly in his heart.

O 23 “Yes, we’re doing fine here. Take care of yourself. Remember to dress warmly in the cold. weather,” Abigail said gently to the old man.
Colby felt quite happy as he listened to her words.
Only a daughter-in-law like her would be so concerned about an old man. As soon as she heard he was sick, she called immediately to offer comfort.
“I know. I haven’t seen you in so long. I’ve been missing you,” Colby said sincerely. He had thought she would return to Pendorf for the New Year last year, but she unexpectedly went abroad to compete in a fashion competition.
“If I have time, I’ll pay you a visit.” Abigail’s voice softened.
They chatted for a while before ending the call.
Sean plated the sliced pear and handed it to Colby.
“I’ve been on the phone for so long, and you didn’t say a word! How could you be successful in winning her back? Just forget it,” Colby said, feeling quite displeased that Sean didn’t. anything.
say Sean sat on the edge of the bed, looking calm. “Is there something wrong with letting you have a good chat with her?” “You’re engaged to that Kelly…” “You’re mistaken about that. I’m engaged to the Pearsons’ heiress,” Sean interrupted Colby.
Colby thought about Kelly’s status and suddenly found Sean quite cunning and scheming.
“By the way, what are you up to? Why do I have to feign illness?” Colby had healthy teeth as he chewed the crisp pear.
“I just wanted to see you,” Sean answered gently.
Colby looked at him with disdain. “I don’t trust you. How long am I staying?
Don’t make it too. long. I’m only going to be here for two days. My card addiction won’t last more than three.” “You’re getting on in years. Aren’t you worried about your back whenever you sit at the card table every day?” Sean knew that when Colby was young, he had suffered a lot. So, Sean could understand why he was a bit more indulgent in his later years now.
Nonetheless, he felt that Colby’s addiction was going a bit too far.
Moreover, Sean didn’t like activities like playing cards.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 494-Out of Control Colby couldn’t stand it when he brought up that topic.
“You smoke too, but I never bring that up. Yet, you’re on my case. After all the hard work I’ve put in, a bit of indulgence is well-deserved!” Colby defended himself unapologetically.
Sean let out a sigh of exasperation upon hearing this.
At this moment, Xavien knocked and entered. He glanced at Sean, signaling that Sean should leave.
Colby understood that they were about to discuss something important. So, he waved Sean away and settled down comfortably, contemplating. Besides, he was indeed tired and needed. a couple of days off after indulging in his games for so long.
When Sean was alone with Xavien in a quiet place, he inquired, “Has there been any sign of Luna?” “Yeah, she’s been shopping, watching movies, indulging in gourmet food, and updating her social media. However, she hasn’t contacted anyone else.” Xavien found it peculiar too.
Sean pondered for a moment and said, “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let your guard down.” Xavien nodded and left.
Sean took out his phone and moved to a secluded spot to make a call.
Once the call was answered, he asked in a low voice, “Any progress on the matter? We’ve had an unexpected development here, and I’m worried I won’t be able to control the situation. Things might go completely awry.” “What’s happened?” the voice on the other end inquired.
“I can’t be sure yet, but I thought it best to give you all a heads up,” Sean stated.
After the person on the other end responded, Sean hung up.
He knew he couldn’t afford to be impatient. It was already challenging enough to deal with. the police, and many of his men had been compromised. If they could proceed cautiously and sacrifice fewer people, it would be a good thing. Still… Given the current circumstances, he was afraid that bigger problems might arise later.
Sean contemplated whether he should talk to Luna. Yet, he couldn’t help but consider the fact that getting into contact with Luna would only arouse suspicion. Those who knew him well understood that he wouldn’t engage with Luna privately.

May arrived, and Fairy Meadow unveiled a part of its summer collection, considering some cities experienced summer early.
Early in the morning, Abigail received a call from the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology. informing her that the mini-program had made initial progress and that he was sending the beta version over.
“You work fast…” Abigail was somewhat surprised. It had only been half a month; were they all workaholics over at their company?
“We had a foundation to start with. For our team, creating a mini-program is a piece of cake,” the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology said with a confident smile.
Abigail requested him to send it over and opened the mini-program.
While the mini-program seemed simple, it was quite impressive.
“It’s quite refined. Was this attempted before?” Abigail operated the program while asking the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology.
“You’re smart, Miss Quinn. We initially planned to create a customized idol mobile game, incorporating Al customization. Unfortunately, due to constantly changing rules for applying game licenses, the desktop version simply couldn’t be approved. So we had to put it on. hold. I didn’t expect it to be usable this time.” The CEO’s voice held a hint of amusement.
for “Indeed, I was wondering… Can it be linked to the official Fairy Meadow online store?” Abigail inquired.
“It should be possible, but there’s a downside I want to mention. Other clothing brands won’t be compatible, making it exclusively yours,” the CEO explained.
Abigail understood his point. To make it exclusive, she’d have to pay a hefty fee for the copyright. Obviously, the CEO wanted to maximize profits with this exclusivity. So, he’d either charge an exorbitant fee or ask for a share of the profits….
“I understand your line of thought, but the exclusive fee isn’t that substantial.
Plus, it’s a one- time deal. In my opinion, it might be better to promote it widely.
Those willing to pay can embed it, but Fairy Meadow should have priority for the first six months,” Abigail suggested.
The CEO of Leap Gaming Technology also understood that Abigail’s proposal was reasonable.
She also had a point by setting a six-month period for Fairy Meadow to have priority over the program. If shoppers liked the mini-program, sales for Fairy Meadow would undoubtedly increase.
Regardless… if she wanted to use it first, that was also fine. He would consider Fairy Meadow |||
r 2/3 as a testing ground. If the customers there liked it, they could go ahead and promote it. That way, success would come more quickly.
“Alright, I’ll go with your suggestion. If you have any feedback, feel free to let us know so we can make adjustments soon and aim for a June launch,” the CEO agreed readily.
“That works. I don’t have any specific suggestions. I think what you’ve done is quite splendid. However, I noticed that you’ve left out the AI customization feature,” Abigail still wanted to experience the power of AI.
“The team thought that since it’s just for dressing up, they didn’t include it to save memory space,” the CEO responded.
Abigail fell silent for a moment before saying, “Maybe it’s better to add it. What if customers. start enjoying raising their virtual avatars?” After all, those virtual avatar-raising games were quite popular, weren’t they?
“Sure, I’ll go with your suggestion,” the CEO agreed to that as well. Since they were already doing it, discarding it would be a waste.
Abigail eagerly awaited the launch of the mini-program after ending the call.
With the rapid advancement of modern technology, one had to stay at the forefront of technology to earn more money, even in the fashion industry.
For the mini-program’s launch, Abigail spent a considerable amount of time studying the app. Eventually, she painstakingly created a custom virtual avatar using the facial and body customization features according to her own photo and specific body measurements.
It took her almost a week to fine-tune her virtual self before she was satisfied enough to send it to the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology.
“You’ve done a great job with this customization. These guys are really talented in making the app; it looks so realistic!
I Want a Divorce Chapter 495-How Do You Know She Called the Police?
Abigail was also amazed by the level of detail they could achieve.
“You really need specific data for this, including providing not only facial photos but also specific measurements like head circumference, to achieve such a realistic result. Can it be saved? I put a lot of effort into creating this.” “Try exporting it. You should be able to use it again once the new version is available.” “It would be great if the skin could look even more realistic. The current skin tone seems a bit off, and I’m worried it might affect how the clothes look in the final display.”
“I’ll check with the tech team about this.” After the chat, Abigail was very satisfied with her virtual avatar. With this, she could customize her own private image and interact with online friends using it.
The CEO quickly responded after she made her request. Unfortunately, in order to create. what she wanted, the launch of the mini-program would have to be delayed. In the end, it would have to be redeveloped as a separate app.
Abigail agreed to his proposal. Then, she sent her virtual avatar to Luna to take a look.
Luna immediately called her after taking a good look at it.
“So, this is what you were talking about? You’re turning the idea of customizing virtual avatars for trying on clothes into reality? It looks a lot like you, and it’s quite impressive.” Luna looked pleasantly surprised.
“I have the mini-program on my phone. If you want to play with it, I can send it to you,” Abigail said, feeling very satisfied with her virtual avatar.
“Well, maybe not. I’m not sure if my phone is secure, and it hasn’t even been released yet. It wouldn’t be good if it leaked out,” Luna said with a smile.
Abigail felt a bit disappointed. She said quietly, “I really miss the days when we worked together. We could share things instantly. I don’t know when I’ll get to see you again” Luna didn’t seem affected at all as she laughed. “I’ll be back eventually. Let me tell you, I’ve been traveling around Pendorf lately. My state of mind has improved a lot, and I’m not as emotional anymore.
Indeed, nature had a way of soothing the soul. It was no wonder so many people enjoyed traveling and getting close to nature.
HI 1/3 r “As long as you’re happy. Once I’ve sorted out L.Moon, we can retire and travel together.” Abigail said with a smile in her voice.
Her initial sense of loss had lessened considerably after Luna’s words.
Luna fell silent for a moment before responding softly.
After the call ended, Luna let out a sigh.
The room was pitch-black, quiet, and tranquil.
“Tell me where you sent the skin flakes and hair you took from Kelly, and I’ll let you go,” a rough voice spoke in the darkness.
She was silent for a moment before answering, “You won’t gain anything by attacking me now. The test results will be available in a day at the fastest. Do you know why I’m holding back from sending them?” “You’re smart, but if you go insane, this secret will be buried in your brain forever, won’t it?” The person in the dark chuckled.
how Luna burst into laughter, “I supported L.Moon all on my own for three years. Do you know many tricks I used? Do you think just because I’m a woman, I’m brainless? Let me tell you the truth. I deliberately installed the camera to expose Kelly’s fake identity. You’re all being played like fiddles, and you don’t even know.” After she finished speaking, she was struck in the leg.
The intense pain made her scream, but the person quickly covered her mouth.
Luna was on the verge of passing out. She was covered in cold sweat.
“Speak, or I’ll shatter every bone in your body and leave you bedridden for the rest of your life.” The voice of the person became very low.
Luna felt the hand covering her mouth loosen slightly.
She let out a bitter laugh and said, “If you don’t do anything, we can still talk. If I’m missing for more than 24 hours, Kelly’s DNA test will be in Sean’s hands… In Abigail’s hands… In Josh’s hands… and in the hands of every Pearson…” The person didn’t say anything, but their breathing became heavier.
“You find a way to restore my legs within 24 hours and let me go out for a walk.” After Luna finished speaking, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
She knew that with Kelly’s cunning and ruthlessness, she would definitely figure out what she |||

2/3 was up to.
So, Luna played this trick.
Of course, she hadn’t received the results yet. She was only saying all these words as a tactic to buy time.
In the silence of the room, the person in the dark walked to the side and made a call.
His voice was kept very low, and Luna didn’t hear anything. She was in so much. agony that she felt like she was about to pass out. Her mind was a complete blur, and she had no energy. to pay attention to what the other person was saying.
The person walked over to Luna after ending the call.
“Abigail mentioned that she has a mini-program, right? It’s okay; the miniprogram. us,” the man said with a laugh as he picked up her phone.
Luna reached out to grab the phone, but the man slapped her unconscious.
will help He picked up the phone and pondered for a moment but didn’t immediately message Abigail for the mini-program.
In the morning, Abigail received a message from Luna.
Luna said she had bought a new phone and was going to try the mini-program.
Abigail sent the mini-program to Luna without giving it much thought.
Right after sending it, Sean called.
Abigail answered the call, but before she could speak, she heard Sean ask, “The person next door to Luna called the police this morning, but the police left quickly. Do you want to ask her what happened?” Sean’s tone sounded a bit urgent.
“She just messaged me. How did you know she called the neighbor and the police?” Abigail felt it was more suspicious that Sean was keeping an eye on Luna.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 496-Afraid I’ll Never See You Again Sean fell silent for a moment before saying, “I feel like she’s been acting strangely lately. I’m worried she might be doing something behind our backs that could put her in danger, so I had Xavien take a look.” Abigail was a bit surprised by Sean’s response. She didn’t know how to respond for a moment. After a while, she said, “Thank you. I’ll call her and check. I talked to her last night, so there shouldn’t be a problem, right?” “Just to be safe, ask again,” Sean said. “I also had Xavien go to her neighbor to ask about the police report.”
Just as Abigail was about to hang up, Sean added, “Don’t call immediately. Wait a bit, find a suitable excuse to call, and make it seem natural.” “Sean, is there something you’re worried she might encounter? Is that why you’re being so cautious?” Abigail couldn’t help but ask.
“If we assume she’s facing danger, then it’s even more important for us to act like we know nothing. But if she isn’t, it won’t hurt. Does that make sense?” Sean comforted Abigail. He was afraid she might rush back to see Luna without keeping her cool.
“You’re right, but your words are making me nervous,” Abigail admitted, unable to control her anxious thoughts.
Just as Sean was about to respond, it seemed like someone was talking to him.
He replied at few sentences before turning back to Abigail. “Nothing’s wrong.
Xavien said Luna went out to get takeout.” “Oh, that’s good,” Abigail sighed with relief.
“But Xavien mentioned that she slipped in the bathroom last night and seemed to have hurt. her leg. She didn’t tell you?” Sean asked, feigning casualness.
“No, she probably didn’t want to worry me,” Abigail replied. When she sensed someone approaching her, she continued, “Thank you for letting me know all this. I’m a bit busy right now.” She hung up the phone, her mind still on Luna’s leg injury.
After Sean ended the call, he told Xavien, “Find Cameron, keep Abigail busy, and make sure she doesn’t call Luna to ask about her leg. Make sure Cameron accomplishes this. Otherwise, he can forget about ever returning to my side!” “Yes!” Xavien quickly went to make the call.
1/3 Luna had slipped in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Her loud cries of pain woke up the neighbors, but they hadn’t called an ambulance… Abigail was busy until it was almost lunchtime. She was just about to call Luna when Alfie hurriedly came in.
“Cameron’s good eye seems to be having a problem. Can you go take a look? I have something to attend to today and might not be able to take care of him for a while.” Alfie’s tone was urgent, almost exaggerated.
Abigail couldn’t help but frown. “Tell the doctor I’ll see him after I’ve finished eating.” “You need to go now; he’s afraid he might lose his eyesight and never see you again.” Alfie’s excuse was terrible.
Even so, Abigail still agreed to go with him.
As soon as Alfie saw her pick up her phone, he got nervous.
“Um, do you have an urgent matter?” he asked, deliberately probing.
“It’s nothing important. I’m just calling a friend,” Abigail answered.
“Which friend? Is it something urgent?” Alfie continued to ask.
Abigail looked at him with displeasure. “Is there something you want to say?
Why are you prying into my business?” “Oh, I was just thinking, what if I’m not in a position to hear? After all, we’re not very familiar with each other. What if you’re discussing something confidential, and it leaks out and causes trouble for you?” Alfie’s excuse was getting weaker by the second.
Abigail squinted at him for a moment, then decided to put her phone down.
“What’s going on with Cameron? Why did you lie to me so that I have to go see him at the hospital?” Alfie thought, You’re way too clever.
“I really don’t know, but he asked me to find you. He told me, no matter what, I have to trick. you into going to the hospital. He was looking all mysterious, too,” Alfie replied earnestly.
“What does my phone have to do with his situation?” Abigail continued to ask.
“Maybe he’s afraid you’ll notify Mr. Graham. If Mr. Graham rushes over in a panic and sees that Cameron’s fine, he’ll want to give him a good beating,” Alfie continued, feeling pleased with himself for coming up with a convincing story.
Abigail nodded, letting Alfie off the hook.

2/3 “Don’t worry. I won’t call Sean,” she said and was about to call Luna again.
Unfortunately, Alfie got anxious again. He scratched his head and looked around, and by now, the call had already connected.
Abigail was just about to ask Luna about her leg when Luna spoke first, “This mini-program is really fun. I spent a long time creating it. Can you tell me how to make mine look as real as yours?” She didn’t mention her leg injury, and Abigail didn’t want to press the matter further. Instead, she happily explained how to use the Alfie stood nearby, sweating profusely.
program.
In the end, Abigail didn’t get the chance to ask about Luna’s leg injury long after the conversation ended.
Maybe Luna didn’t want me to worry, so she kept it to herself. Perhaps not asking was the right thing to do… Maybe Luna’s mood isn’t as good as I had thought, and accepting the fact that she can’t manage L.Moon isn’t as easy as it seems.
Alfie breathed a sigh of relief.
Cameron was just one step away from certain death… He couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“What’s wrong with you?” Abigail glanced at him.
Alfie immediately shook his head. “Oh, I heard that your friend resigned under pressure. I’m afraid she’s not in a good mood, so I was almost afraid to breathe.” “What nonsense,” Abigail muttered.
Then, she took out her phone to check the messages from clients after saying that.
Yet, everything around her felt strangely eerie, especially in this moment of tranquility
I Want a Divorce Chapter 497-I’ll Listen to You Again Abigail suppressed the turmoil in her heart and decided to discuss things further after returning from the hospital.
So, she immediately looked for a doctor to examine Cameron’s eyes the minute she got there. After that, she asked the doctor, “How are his eyes?” The doctor was also nervous as he responded, “His eyes have made quite the recovery, and there are no issues. Why do you ask?” The sudden reexamination left the doctor puzzled, making him wonder if something had gone wrong with the patient.
She replied politely, “It’s nothing. Thank you, doctor.” Once the doctor left, she looked at Cameron sternly.
Cameron quirked his lips into a playful smile as he said, “Why are you being so serious?” Abigail gave him a light punch on the shoulder in response. “Let me tell you: if you keep being so carefree, I’d really keep my distance from you.” Cameron’s smile gradually disappeared as he explained, “This situation is quite complex.” “Then, make it simple for me.” She urged him to be concise.
He continued, “I know that you are doubtful and feel that something’s off about today. Your intuition is accurate, but you have to suppress your doubts and focus on L.Moon. Everything is under Mr. Graham’s control.” The more they tried to conceal the truth, the more she wanted to dig deeper. So, she demanded, “So, why the hell is he keeping a close watch on Luna? Does it have something to do with what you’ve been saying?” “Well…” Cameron elaborated, “Mr. Graham believes that Kelly strongly desires revenge. He’s worried that she might send someone to harass Miss Smith while she is alone in Pendorf. That’s why he’s keeping an eye on Miss Smith. There have also been some questions about Kelly’s identity… So, Mr. Graham is looking into it. He fears Luna might disrupt his plans, so he asked me to advise you to stay calm.” Abigail reluctantly accepted this explanation and answered, “Maybe it’s for the best if I don’t contact Luna. It’d be better to let Sean handle everything since he’s been keeping an eye on Kelly for so long.” Cameron continued to advise her by saying, “It’s safer that way. Mr. Graham is well-informed.
O 1/3 and has been watching Kelly closely.” She nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you this time.” She realized that she hadn’t noticed anything unusual about Luna lately, and it was only when Sean mentioned it that she started to see some truth in his concerns. Why did Luna. suddenly want the app last night when she refused it the first time?
As such, she decided to wait for Sean’s investigation results before taking the next step… Abigail returned to the company and sighed. Even though she was worried about Luna, she managed to suppress her anxiety for the time being.
Sean had successfully convinced Cameron to persuade Abigail. Hence, he figured that Cameron still possessed some value.
Meanwhile, he was still unsure of the situation surrounding Luna. While Xavien had already tried to establish contact with her neighbors, it was quite challenging to approach them. without arousing her suspicions. So, he refocused his thoughts and texted Damon.
‘What has Josh been up to lately?’ Initially, Sean thought that Josh would have settled things with his parents since it had been so many days since Luna’s return. It was also time for him to meet her, but there was still no sign of Josh after waiting for two days.
Soon, Damon’s reply interrupted Sean’s thoughts. ‘He’s been shopping and having meals with Kelly lately!’ Sean did not return Damon’s text and assumed that Kelly might be using the excuse of needing to make amends with Josh to prevent him from visiting Luna.
This meant that Luna was dealing with something that she couldn’t let Josh know about.
He immediately called Xavien.
“Mr. Graham,” Xavien greeted him as soon as he answered the call.
“There’s definitely something happening on Luna’s side. Find someone to go undercover as a maintenance worker and head to her building. Inform them that there has been a water leak in her apartment, and they need to inspect it.” After he was done instructing Xavien, he hung up and continued to message Damon. Any developments over at Vincent’s side recently?” “They seem to be investigating something. It seems they have secretly sent people to the ୦ <
2/3 pharmacy that Luna visited recently. They also had a word with her cab driver afterward Sean was now absolutely certain that Luna would have already sent samples of Kelly’s hair, skin, and blood for testing. Alas, he was uncertain who she sent it to, considering that even Vincent had not managed to discover this yet.
It felt that Luna had planned this for the longest time since any last-minute decisions would have alerted Vincent.
“Alright, I understand,” Sean replied. “Keep a close watch.” If Luna was in trouble now, it had to be related to the results of Kelly’s paternity test, as even he was unsure as to when the results would be exposed. So, they could only take action. without alerting Vincent. The test results could not be exposed in the near future since such a move might risk alerting their opponents.
In the afternoon, Xavien hurriedly returned to make his report, saying, “Luna’s not in the apartment that she used to live in. I don’t know when she was moved.” “You don’t know?!” Sean stared at him coldly. “Didn’t I instruct you to keep an eye on her day and night? Yet, you’re giving me such a response?” Xavien lowered his head in shame as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
“What are you still standing there for? Go and investigate the matter! Take care to be careful not to alert anyone! Everything rests on Luna now, whether it’s for Abigail or the bigger picture. She needs to remain unharmed. Understood?” Sean sternly gave out his order.
“Yes!” Xavien replied quickly before he hastily left.
After that, Sean’s expression darkened. Kelly and her people were rather capable since they managed to move Luna away right under his nose. Josh truly had a flawed judgment; if he had arrived just a day earlier, such an unexpected incident could have been easily avoided
I Want a Divorce Chapter 498-Negotiating In Good Faith Abigail noticed that Luna sent her virtual images every day and assumed that Luna also enjoyed playing games.
Concerned about her leg injury, Abigail started to worry again.
She debated whether to make a phone call and ask Luna about it.
But before she could decide, Luna called her.
“Abigail, I came to Capitalis to have some fun. Are you free now? I miss you,” Luna asked cheerfully.
Abigail checked her schedule and replied, “Why don’t you come to visit me at the company? I’m quite busy at the moment, so the best we can do is meet here.” They had always been honest with each other. Abigail had a lot of tasks to handle and had to attend meetings every day. She couldn’t spare even half a minute.
“Fine then. I’ll leave you alone for now. Take care,” Luna said, sounding slightly disappointed.
“When everything goes back on track in L.Moons, we can take a trip together.
Right now, I need to work hard,” Abigail comforted Luna.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” Luna said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Abigail held her phone, frowning.
Didn’t Sean say that Luna injured her leg? How could she come to Capitalis for fun with a leg injury?
She immediately sent a message to Sean.
Luna just called me and said she arrived in Capitalis. What’s going on?” Soon, Sean called her.
“Why did she call you?” Sean asked Abigail in return. He still hadn’t received any news from Luna yet. He suspected that the person contacting Abigail might not be Luna herself.
“She wanted to hang out with me, but I’m too busy with work. How is her leg? Is it serious?” Abigail found it strange, but she didn’t think too much.
“Maybe not. If she invites you to hang out again, try to go see her if you’re free.
She might be feeling lonely,” Sean suggested gently to Abigail.
111 1/3 “Okay.” Abigail, after hearing this, felt a little sorry for Luna.
Once she finished her work, she would definitely find Luna and go out together.
Sean ended the call and asked Alfie to secretly keep an eye on Abigail.
If Luna invites her out again, someone from Alfie’s team should follow her. I don’t believe that we wouldn’t be able to find Luna this way.
Sean also had another suspicion, which was that someone was using Luna to deceive Abigail into going out.
The moment Abigail declined the invitation, Luna couldn’t help but laugh out loudly.
“The AI imitates my voice quite well, but unfortunately, she’s busy,” she said, sitting in the chair with a mocking tone.
The man sitting in the darkness operated the computer, ignoring her. After finishing with it, he looked at Luna and said, “Don’t get too confident. We still have another chance next time. And we have plenty of time, anyway.” Luna shrugged indifferently and laughed, “Well, take your time. It’s been so long already, we’ve already have the results. What do you have to be proud of?” The more they struggled to find the person she had arranged, the greater her chances of winning.
Upon hearing this, the man slammed the table and stood up, fiercely slapping Luna across the face.
“I’m telling you, when the truth is exposed, you will be scattered into pieces, spread across different places,” the man said cruelly, looking at Luna, who was almost knocked out by the blow.
Luna didn’t respond, but fear welled up in her heart.
“Are you scared? If you are, then call the person you’ve been meeting with and have them. bring the results to save yourself,” the man grabbed her hair, his eyes filled with malice.
Luna looked at him and said, “Do you think I would believe you?” How could someone like Kelly’s underlings be trustworthy?
The negotiation reached a stalemate.
Of course, it was still required from above that he must extract the location of the test results from Luna.
r 2/3 If something really happened to her and the test results were exposed as she claimed, then his life would come to an end.
The man remained silent, contemplating extreme measures to deal with Luna, but also worried that if she needed medical attention for her injuries, it would cause trouble when they got spotted.
“Just tell me, and I promise nothing would happen to you,” the man started negotiating with Luna again after a moment.
Luna lowered her head and said, “You’ve hit me so many times, and now you’re saying you promise nothing would happen to me? If you had been like this from the beginning, maybe I would have surrendered. But you broke my leg and slapped me. I won’t let that slide easily.” Luna had displayed an arrogant attitude from the beginning, and based on her appearance, she seemed like someone not to be messed with.
“What do you want to do then?” the man asked impatiently.
“I don’t know yet,” Luna replied. After saying that, she closed her eyes. Not only was she uncomfortable being tied up, but her leg injury hadn’t been treated either. It had swelled up like a steamed bun and caused pain at night.
“You better figure it out before tomorrow,” the man said impatiently.
“Just kill me if I don’t, don’t negotiate with me. Let me tell you, right now it’s you and Kelly who should be worried about what I have in my hands. Not me.
Understand?” Luna yelled impatiently.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 499-The Sacrifice Of Mr. Graham On the third day of Luna’s disappearance, Sean still hadn’t received any news.
He sat in the office, pondering how Kelly managed to take Luna away without leaving any trace.
They had checked all the surveillance footage, but there was nothing suspicious.
Sean had never encountered such a setback before. Lost in thought for a long time, he suddenly had an idea and immediately called Xavien.
“Find another opportunity to thoroughly search Luna’s house. I suspect that she’s still there. and has never left,” Sean instructed in a cold voice.
“I think it would be better to have Josh do this,” Xavien whispered.
To minimize the risk, Josh was the most suitable person for the job.
After a moment of silence, Sean hung up the phone, agreeing with Xavien’s suggestion.
Soon, Abigail received a call from Sean.
Before she could even press the answer button, she heard Sean say, “Didn’t Luna visit Josh after she arrived at Capitalis?” “Well, I didn’t ask,” Abigail replied. She was too busy to pay attention to them.
“Damon said Josh has been with Kelly recently. I wonder if they broke up?” Sean murmured, puzzled and curious.
“What’s the matter, are you jealous?” Abigail’s tone unintentionally became sarcastic.
Sean laughed, “Ask Josh for me if they’ve really broken up. If they have, I don’t need to be nice to Kelly anymore.” His words made Abigail feel a little guilty.
It seemed that he was trying to please Kelly just so that Luna would be treated with kindness when she marries Josh.
“Okay, I’ll do it,” Abigail said, and then hung up the phone.
Sometimes she felt that Sean was quite strange. Why did he have to ask me to do that when he could just ask Josh himself?
1/3 Abigail dialed Josh’s number.
It didn’t take long for the man to answer.
“Abigail, what’s up?” It’s quite noisy at Josh’s side, as if he was in a crowded place.
“Luna said she came to Capitalis. She wanted to hang out with me a few days ago, but I was busy and couldn’t go. Didn’t she come to you?” Abigail’s tone remained the same.
Josh was silent for a moment before saying, “She didn’t tell me. When I asked her, she said she was in Pendorf. Is she still mad at me?” Abigail couldn’t help but frown. “Didn’t you guys clear things up? Why don’t you call her and ask?” “Alright.” Abigail hung up the phone, and the strange feeling in her heart grew stronger.
Both Sean and Luna are peculiar in their own ways.
Josh found a quiet place to call Luna.
He called multiple times, but no one answered.
Frowning, Josh persisted and continued to call, but still no one answered.
“Josh, what are you doing?” Kelly’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Josh put away his phone and turned around, smiling at her. “Nothing. I’m tired from shopping today, let’s go back.” “Okay,” Kelly nodded, although she had some doubts in her mind, she didn’t think too much about it.
Back at home, Josh secretly booked a plane ticket and only took his ID while Kelly went to the room to take a bath.
Kelly came out of the room and went to Josh’s door, knocking on it.
There was no sound from the room. She reached out and twisted the doorknob, realizing that the door seemed to be locked from the inside.
“Ha! Locked the door even when taking a bath,” she muttered, then turned and walked downstairs, instructing the servants, “Remember to inform me if Josh goes out.” “Yes, miss,” the servant immediately responded.
|||
2/3 Kelly went upstairs to her room with peace of mind.
She slept until it was dark outside.
Thinking of Josh, she immediately got out of bed and hurriedly ran out of the room.
It was quiet in the house. Kelly ran downstairs and asked the servant, “Has Josh gone out?” “No, I haven’t seen him downstairs,” the servant honestly replied.
Kelly turned around and rushed upstairs, arriving at Josh’s door. She twisted the doorknob again.
“Josh!” she knocked on the door forcefully.
However, the room remained quiet, with no one answering her.
“Josh, Josh!” she called out again, but there was still no response.
Kelly turned around and returned to her room, anxiously picking up her phone and dialing Josh’s number.
Soon, he answered the call.
“Josh, why is the door locked when you’re not at home?” Kelly’s voice sounded worried.
Confused, Josh replied, “Why can’t I lock my own room?” “Then where did you go? You promised to be with me during this time,” Kelly’s tone became resentful.
“I have something to take care of, I’ll be back in a couple of days,” Josh said in a gentle voice.
“Did you go to Pendorf to see Luna?” Kelly’s voice carried a hint of suspicion.
Josh’s tone turned cold. “Can’t I see my own girlfriend?” “But you promised me, how can you go back on your word? You didn’t even tell me before you left! Is Luna more important to you than me, your own sister? No matter how she bullies. me, you always take her side, don’t you?!” Kelly suddenly raised her voice, with a hint of crying.
Josh’s voice suddenly carried a hint of annoyance, “You were the one who kept bullying her, weren’t you?”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 500-Secretly Taken Away During the days of searching for his sister, Josh couldn’t help but yearn for her return.
When Kelly finally came home, he believed he treated her well, accommodating her in every way.
However, the longer they spent together, the more he found Kelly annoying. Not only did she like to scheme behind his back, but she also often tried to sow discord before their parents.
She claimed to like Abigail in words, but she always portrayed herself as the victim. recounting how much she had suffered at Abigail’s hands.
Kelly couldn’t believe that Josh would speak to her in this tone. She choked up and asked, her voice trembling, “Josh, are you fed up with me now? You’ve found someone you like, and now you can’t stand me?” Josh’s tone was cold as he replied, “I have my own things to deal with. Don’t use Luna’s disappearance to manipulate me. Besides, spending every day with you, going shopping and such, has become tiresome. Let me have a break for a couple of days.” He finished speaking and promptly hung up.
Kelly quickly withdrew her pitiful look. Then, she forcefully slammed her phone onto the bed.
Meanwhile, Josh turned to Sean after ending the call.
“I went to her place, but she didn’t open the door. When I called again, she said she’s at Capitalis. Do you think it’s possible?” Josh’s tone carried both urgency and restlessness.
Sean looked at him and asked, “Did she mention where exactly in Capitalis?” “No, she just said she’s out traveling and told me not to look for her,” Josh furrowed his brows. and replied.
“She’s definitely not at Capitalis. Saying she’s there was just a ploy to get you to go back. Besides, don’t you think Kelly has been keeping you with her all the time, not letting you come over?” Josh, realizing this, replied, “My sister can be a bit willful, and her character isn’t as good as we thought. But I believe Luna’s situation has nothing to do with her.
She just doesn’t like Luna.” “You still refuse to believe that Kelly has issues,” Sean said with a cold expression.
|||
1/3 “She’s still my sister,” Josh replied sternly.
Sean leaned back in his chair and said, “Alright, take some men, then go and pry open the door. Regardless of what happens, search every corner of the house thoroughly.” Josh stood up, determined. “I’m going to take care of it right now!” Sean looked at his retreating figure and advised, “Be careful.” Josh felt like there was an underlying message in Sean’s words, but he didn’t dwell on it.
Following Sean’s instructions, Josh and his team forced open Luna’s door. He immediately commanded, “Search every corner; don’t overlook anything, including under the bed. Make sure to check every place someone could hide.” He stood at the doorway, his face stern, watching as the team entered one by one to search Luna’s place.
After a thorough search, the team leader spoke up. There are no signs of recent habitation in this place.” Josh walked further into the room, squinting at the layout. There were only a few places someone could hide, and if Luna and the kidnapper were here, they should have been easily found… Yet, Sean had insisted that Luna hadn’t left the house. So, where could she be?
Suddenly, Josh stopped at the bathroom. He looked at the window, and after a while, as if he had figured something out, he hurried over.
He swiftly opened the window, stuck his head out, and saw why Sean had made a mistake.
The bathroom in this building was slightly recessed, with walls on both sides. It would be very easy to quietly move Luna out.
He immediately called Sean to tell him about it.
After the call was connected, he quickly relayed what he had seen and said, “I’ll continue to investigate this matter. She’s my girlfriend, and I have a responsibility to be involved in your plan.” “Josh, keep calling her. Act as if nothing’s wrong, just like usual. Pretend she’s angry at you and is hiding.” Sean said in a low voice.
He wanted Josh to be involved but not to interfere.
Josh fell silent for a moment before asking Sean, “What are you hiding from me? Luna’s |||
23 disappearance isn’t simple, is it?” Sean said indifferently, “I can’t give you a clear explanation right now, but just trust me.” “You expect me to trust you when Luna is missing? You’re not her boyfriend. Of course, you’re not as concerned!” Josh’s voice rose with frustration.
Sean’s tone grew impatient as he snapped, “Where’s the Josh from the old days when you helped Abigail investigate things?” Josh fell into a contemplative silence.
“Listen to me on this matter. I promise Luna will be safe,” Sean said calmly.
Josh gradually calmed down, his voice steady as he asked Sean, “Apart from asking her whereabouts, do you have any other requests?” “Just keep bothering her. I need to track her phone. It’ll be hard to locate her if it’s turned off. Just argue with her, but don’t end the call. Basically, do your best to disrupt her emotions,” Sean advised.
Josh inhaled deeply before he finally said, “Alright, I’ll do as you say!” After Sean hung up, Josh immediately dialed Luna’s number.
It didn’t take long for Luna to answer.
“I told you, I’m on a trip. Why do you keep calling?” Luna said in irritation.
Josh’s voice carried a hint of grievance as he murmured, “Where are you in Capitalis? I came back to find you. I miss you, and there’s no one at your place.” “I just want some time alone. Can you please stop bothering me?” Luna’s tone was impatient
