Ch. 501..510
I Want a Divorce Chapter 501-Settle Down “You’re still upset with my sister? I’ve reprimanded her before I came to look for you. I’m always on your side. Trust me.” Josh’s tone was pitiful.
Luna replied, “I’m not upset. I just want some time alone.” “But I asked your neighbor, and she said you hurt your leg. She even reported it to the police. How can you be running around with an injured leg?” Josh inquired intentionally.
This time, Luna didn’t respond right away.
She remained silent for a while before saying, “It’s not that bad… Did you go to my house?” “Yeah, I missed you. When I came to find you, and you ignored me, I asked your neighbor,” Josh said gently.
“I’m not at home. Stop looking for me. I’m out having fun. You don’t need to find me. I’ll call you when I feel like it.” Luna’s words were both a rejection and a plea.
Josh started to get a little angry. “Since you’re in Capitalis, why won’t you meet me? Is it really that difficult to meet in Capitalis?” “Can you stop making a fuss?” Luna was getting frustrated.
“Am I the one making a fuss? You’ve been acting strange since you got back.
You said you wouldn’t blame me before, but now you’ve changed. It’s making me very uneasy,” Josh confessed.
Luna took a deep breath and tried to calm him. “I’m leaving Capitalis soon to travel abroad. I’ll meet you when I get back.” “Then, I’ll go with you,” Josh immediately proposed.
“I don’t want to go with you!” Luna said and hung up the phone.
Josh held onto the phone for a moment before shooting a text to Sean.
I said I wanted to meet her in Capitalis, but she refused. She also said she’s going abroad. She hung up directly. My intuition tells me this isn’t Luna. Even though she has a temper, she’s always reasonable. We had a good relationship before we separated. We used to talk on the phone every night. Now she’s acting like she wants to break up.
“Your intuition may be right, but you still have to pretend you haven’t noticed anything. We’ll work together on this, and we’ll get to the bottom of it, Sean advised.

1/3 Josh felt a bit more at ease after reading Sean’s message. Right now, he had no choice but to trust Sean.
Since Luna wasn’t in Pendorf, Sean decided to return to Capitalis. It would arouse suspicion. if he stayed in Pendorf for too long.
Sean first went to the Pearson Residence upon returning to Capitalis.
Lawrence was surprised to see him coming over on his own initiative.
“How’s your grandfather? Kelly said if you didn’t come back to Capitalis soon, she would go to Pendorf to find you,” Lawrence said. Although he didn’t particularly like Sean, as an elder, he still expressed concern for Sean’s grandfather.
“He’s fine, just a bit tired from playing cards too much,” Sean replied calmly.
Kelly knew how much Colby loved playing cards. He would immediately join his friends at the card table the instant he was done with his meals. So, it wasn’t an understatement to say that one could find the old man either at the card table or at the dining table.
“That old man sure loves to have fun,” Lawrence commented in a low voice.
Scarlett chimed in, “Josh went to Pendorf too. Did he go to find you?” “Yeah, he came to say hi, but he didn’t contact me after that. Why?” Sean answered calmly.
“You should’ve called us. He said he was going to keep his sister company but ended up running off to find Luna. It’s really hard for us to feel at ease with him,” Scarlett said, her tone. carrying a touch of discontent.
Ever since Luna and Kelly had their fight, Scarlett truly didn’t like Luna anymore.
Scarlett would be much happier if they ended things.
“Josh is an adult, and he can be responsible for his own choices,” Sean replied calmly.
“Yeah, feelings aren’t something he can control. I’m not as angry now. Just let him. go find Luna to hang out,” Kelly added. Sean came to Capitalis and immediately came here. She was happy about it and couldn’t be bothered to argue with Josh anymore. In any case… they would eventually break up, and Luna would eventually disappear from this world.
“You’re just too kind-hearted,” Scarlett gently tapped Kelly on the forehead.
Kelly laughed and couldn’t help but look at Sean. “Let’s go have dinner at Silver Gates tonight. I heard it’s a new place, and many people like it.” Sean hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded in agreement.
2/3 Kelly’s smile widened even further. “I’ll go change.” As Kelly went upstairs, Sean sat in the living room, lost in thought. If Luna wasn’t in Capitalis, according to the information Josh provided, she had to have been secretly taken out of the country.
Once she left the country, they would have less control of the situation.
Lawrence noticed Sean’s absentmindedness and couldn’t help but feel worried about Kelly’s marriage.
Sean doesn’t even like her. They wouldn’t be happy even if they got married.
Unfortunately, no matter how Lawrence tried to talk to Kelly, it was all in vain.
She was determined to marry Sean, but he couldn’t fathom what kind of charm Sean held… He was just a divorced man… “Sean, I still hope you’ll settle down. Since you’ve chosen to be with Kelly, stop thinking about your ex-wife,” Lawrence advised, lowering his voice.
Sean was lost in thought, but Lawrence’s words quickly brought him back to reality. He simply smiled and looked at Lawrence. “Why say such things? I arrived in Capitalis today, and the first thing I did was come here.”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 502-Intentional Matchmaking Lawrence was displeased. “I can see that you don’t fancy Kelly at all.” Sean’s lips were slightly curled into a tiny smirk, but he did not answer.
When Scarlett heard the men’s conversation, she felt somewhat heartbroken.
“I was originally not intending to get married. She herself insisted on it. Since I’m the type who keeps his word, and the Pearson Family has let L.Moon off the hook, I’ll keep my promise and marry into your Pearson Family.” Sean looked indifferent as he said those words.
to Lawrence.
Lawrence did not say anything else, but he stood up and motioned for Scarlett to head upstairs with him.
As night fell, Abigail and several businessmen decided to move their conversation to a more appropriate location.
As soon as Abigail entered Silver Gates with a few bosses and sat down, she noticed Sean and Kelly entering the restaurant. There was a trace of surprise when she saw this because she didn’t even know when Sean had arrived in Capitalis. However, when Abigail thought of what he had said before, she quickly felt relieved.
He mentioned that he would eventually settle down, and what he was doing now was merely confirmation on his part.
Abigail withdrew her gaze.
Sean had also spotted Abigail and couldn’t help but wonder whether Kelly deliberately chose to dine here just to rub it in Abigail’s face.
“Hey, Abigail’s here. Let’s go over and say hello,” Kelly spoke right then.
He hummed in acknowledgment and approached Abigail without any hesitation.
A few unfamiliar faces were sitting across Abigail, and one of them was the head of Leap Gaming Technology, Mr. Antoine. When Sean and Kelly walked over, Mr. Antoine felt awkward but still tugged his lips into a plastic smile and greeted them, “Mr. Graham, you’re also here for a meal? What a coincidence.” “It’s really a coincidence. I heard that this restaurant is new and has good reviews, so I came here to give it a try,” Sean replied calmly, his gaze subtly looking at Abigail.
“Hello, Abigail,” Kelly greeted her with a smile as if she wanted to assert something.
13 “Oh, hello,” came Abigail’s indifferent reply.
“Sean and I are here for a date, and we didn’t expect to see you here. Enjoy your meal. We won’t disturb you any longer,” Kelly added as she grabbed Sean’s arm.
Sean instinctively furrowed his brow as a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, after which he calmly said, “Let’s go.” There was nothing in Kelly’s hand which left her momentarily discomfited. Still, she quickly regained her composure, smiled, and followed Sean with a hint of satisfaction in her gait.
After they left, Mr. Antoine muttered, “That Pearson girl seems like a hard person to deal with.” She had caused trouble for Abigail before at the conference, and now, she was here with Sean, seemingly flaunting her power.
“Why bother about her?” Abigail replied coldly.
The man shrugged and added, “You’re right. She’s in a different league than us.” Then, the topic of conversation changed, and they began to discuss matters related to the mobile app that they were about to release. She was eager to launch it earlier than expected, but Leap Gaming Technology seemed to have their reservations.
“It might backfire if you’re in such a rush,” was what Mr. Antoine said.
Abigail simply smiled as she drawled, “What if we invest more money into it?
The few bosses here are rather interested in your company’s app as well. I’m sure they’re willing to invest in the hopes that we can expedite the process.” If they could release the mobile app earlier and get Abigail to use it for the first six months, it would coincide with the New Year period, making it an ideal time to launch the product and capitalize on the surge of traffic during the holidays.
The result would undoubtedly be very promising.
Mr. Antoine looked at the several unfamiliar investors in front of him and smiled, saying, “It depends on the amount of investment. In the world of development, the more money you. have, the faster things can progress.” The investors exchanged glances with each other before one of them, with the last name of Huskeh, gave his opinion, saying, “We will provide whatever amount is needed, Mr. Antoine.” The head of Leap Gaming Technology, whose name was Kirby Antoine, couldn’t resist saying, “You guys should suggest an amount. I can’t bring myself to say it.” “How about 7 million?” Mr. Huskeh inquired.
|||
O 2/3 Kirby was thrilled as he immediately nodded. “That’s more than enough! When do the app to be ready?” you need “The maximum is one month, by mid-May. We hope to have the app completely ready before the New Year,” Mr. Huskeh replied. Since he was investing loads of money into this, it was also natural for him to make more demands.
Abigail continued to smile and didn’t participate in the conversation. After all, she was merely the middlewoman while everyone else at the table was a representative of the well- established fashion brands. They had so much more influence in the fashion industry than L.Moon.
“Oh… Mr. Huskeh, you’re really putting me in a tight spot. Mid-May is just a month away. I’m concerned that we might not be able to meet the deadline.” Kirby looked genuinely troubled.
“Then, add another 2.8 million,” Mr. Huskeh countered. “You need to meet the deadline of mid-May no matter what the cost. L.Moon would use it for the women’s apparel for the first six months, and you can prioritize the women’s apparel during this period. Then, gradually research men’s fashion for the last six months. How does that sound?” you can This was a compromise of all sorts, so Kirby reluctantly agreed to the man’s suggestion. “That works.” At this moment, Abigail raised her glass and added, “I’m grateful to everyone here for giving us an opportunity for a business investment. I’d like to propose a toast.” Everyone at the table stood up and clinked their glasses.
Sean found their cheerful behavior quite unsettling. He had initially found the food at Silver Glass enjoyable. Nevertheless, he had lost his appetite after witnessing such a harmonious. scene playing before his eyes.
Thus, he set down his cutleries, looked at Kelly, and asked, “Did you intentionally choose this place?” “Gosh, I’m not stalking Abigail,” Kelly replied innocently. “How could I have known? If you don’t like it here, we can head somewhere else.” “Nah.” He rose to his feet. “I’m full, so I’ll return to the hotel first.”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 503-She’s Just Your Ex-Wife As they left the restaurant, Abigail caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of her eye.
Kelly arranged for a car to take them back to the hotel before getting into her own car after finishing the meal with other bosses.
However, before they could even leave the parking lot, Sean pulled up in his car, blocking their way.
He sat in his car, looking at Abigail with a displeased expression.
Abigail furrowed her brows but didn’t say a word.
After a brief eye contact, Sean got out of the car and knocked several times on her window.
Abigail hesitated for a moment before also getting out of the car. “What?” she asked, her brows furrowed.
“I didn’t notify you in advance when I came today. I found out you were in a meeting with Cameron, so I went to the Pearson Residence first,” Sean explained in a dominant tone, standing between Abigail and the car.
She remained expressionless. “Mr. Graham, why do you feel the need to explain to me? Your fiancée is Kelly, after all.” “Are you jealous?” Sean countered.
“Sean, we’re divorced. Please stop assuming things and disturbing my life.” Abigail pushed Sean away.
He took a step back. “But I can’t help but come and disturb you. Seeing you laughing happily with another man makes me very angry.” Abigail thought, Why should I care if you’re angry?
Just as she was about to speak, the bodyguard whispered, “Someone’s here.” Sean sensed it almost immediately. He turned sharply and saw Kelly standing behind a nearby pillar.
She looked at Sean, then at Abigail. Then, she quickly walked over, raising her hand to strike Abigail.
Sean quickly grabbed her hand “What are you doing?” |||
1/3 <
“So, you’re Sean’s ex-wife who’s still intentionally entangled with him! Clearly, you know we’re getting engaged. Yet, you choose to dine in the same restaurant as us. You’re really shameless, aren’t you?” Kelly glared at Abigail, angrily scolding her without reservation.
Abigail found it amusing. Kelly had inserted herself between Sean and Abigail.
Yet, she had the gall to play the victim and pin the blame on Abigail?
“I think the shameless one here is you. You’ve set your sights on Sean right from the start. Then, you didn’t hesitate to resort to all sorts of nasty means behind the scenes, forcing him to get engaged to you. What else are you not satisfied with?” Abigail sneered, firing back at Kelly.
Sean released Kelly’s hand, his eyes filled with disgust. “Who intentionally arranged for us to be in the same restaurant? You know better than anyone.
Kelly, your ability to throw mud is quite impressive.” He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone as despicable as Kelly. Whenever the situation didn’t favor her, she could immediately shift the blame onto someone else.
“I’m the one who will be your future wife. Why are you taking her side? If you really get along so well with her, you wouldn’t have divorced her!” Kelly fumed.
“You’d better shut up!” Sean said, annoyed.
Abigail opened the car door and got in. She glanced at Sean, then told her bodyguard, “Drive away immediately.” She didn’t want to witness their argument, nor did she want to argue with Kelly.
It was simply a waste of time.
The bodyguard tried to drive away, but Kelly immediately rushed in front of the car, blocking their way.
Fortunately, the bodyguard managed to hit the brakes in time, or he might have hit her.
Abigail looked at Kelly with anger on her face.
Kelly’s face was filled with hatred. “Why are you running away? You’re regretting the divorce, so you’ve come to be the third wheel?” As soon as Kelly finished speaking, Sean slapped her across her face.
Kelly fell to the ground from the force of the blow, tears welling up in her eyes.
Then, she looked at Sean in disbelief and said, “How can you treat me like this?” “If you insult her one more time, I’ll tear your mouth apart today. I’m not afraid of the <
2/3 Pearsons coming after me,” Sean said coldly, his eyes filled with nothing but disgust.
Tears streamed down Kelly’s face.
“I’ve never hit a woman before, but clearly, you’re not even a woman,” Sean said, then signaled for Abigail’s bodyguard to drive away.
Abigail hadn’t quite recovered from the scene.
She understood that Sean didn’t like Kelly, but she never expected him to hit her because of 1.
The car slowly pulled out of the parking lot..
Sean turned to leave, but Kelly immediately got up, grabbing onto Sean’s sleeve. “I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said those things. I’m sorry…” Sean forcefully pulled his sleeve away from her, looking at her with disdain.
“Kelly, I’ve never met someone as shameless as you. You deliberately arranged to be in the same restaurant, yet you’re accusing Abigail of seducing others. You really have no shame to actually have the audacity to say such things. You’ve completely changed how I view you.” Kelly choked out, “I was just so angry… I didn’t expect her to be your ex-wife.
She could have been any other woman, but why her?” “I thought, with your intelligence, you would have figured it out by now. After all, I treat her differently,” Sean replied flatly.
Although Kelly wasn’t exactly much, she was indeed confident. Ever since she came to live with the Pearsons, she believed that Abigail was inferior to her in every way. She looked down on Abigail, so how could she admit that Abigail was Sean’s ex-wife?
“You’re absolutely revolting,” Sean concluded before continuing toward his car.
The sobbing Kelly stood frozen in place, darkness slowly welling up in her eyes
I Want a Divorce Chapter 504-Another Slap To The Face Kelly returned to the Pearsons and found herself crying in the living room.
Lawrence came downstairs and saw her in such misery. He immediately approached and asked, “What’s wrong, darling?” “Did you and everyone else know that Sean’s ex-wife is Abigail? And you didn’t tell me?” Kelly, with swollen eyes, asked Lawrence.
Lawrence sat down beside her and was about to explain, but he noticed that her cheeks were also swollen. Therefore, he immediately asked, “Who hit you?”
Kelly sobbed. “I went to have dinner with Sean. When Abigail saw us there, she deliberately brought along a few men to join her, and she was chatting and laughing with them. It’s my fault for not knowing that he still had feelings for his ex-wife!” Kelly sobbed while leaning on Scarlett’s shoulder, her tears flowing incessantly.
“I think they’re intentionally trying to embarrass you!” Lawrence growled.
Kelly questioned, “Why did they hide it from me? If Sean had told me that his ex-wife was Abigail, I wouldn’t have brought up the engagement. They both kept it from me and made me suffer…” “We’ve all warned you not to fall for Sean. He has also said he won’t wouldn’t listen!” he said with frustration.
marry you, but you At this point, Kelly felt extremely wronged. “But why did Abigail hide the fact that she was. married to Sean? She did it on purpose! She knew he wouldn’t like me, and she knew he had feelings for her. So, even if she didn’t say anything, she would still be the winner and would be able to laugh at my expense!” Scarlett, who had her heart set on Kelly, got angry upon hearing Kelly’s words.
“She’s always. portraying herself as the victim, and now she’s teaming up with Sean to humiliate you. I will not let her get away with it!” Lawrence looked at her and said, “Let’s go to her.” Upon hearing this, Kelly immediately looked up and said, “Sean will get angry if you go looking for her without warning.” “He already hit you, and you’re still thinking about him? Kelly, there are so many good men out there; you don’t have to invest all your emotions in him!” Scarlett held her hand and earnestly advised.
Meanwhile, she sniffled and said, “But I like him. It was my fault for saying the wrong things O 1/3 tonight. I shouldn’t have insulted Abigail-” “What’s wrong with insulting her? They were the ones who bullied you in the first place!” Lawrence retorted.
Kelly remained silent, her eyes teary.
“I’ll go find her with your mother,” he said while suppressing his anger.
She was about to say something, but Lawrence added, “Take care of Kelly.” With that, he grabbed Scarlett and left.
Abigail was reviewing contracts in her office. Her assistant didn’t have a chance to notify her, and the office door was pushed open.
Meanwhile, Analise was watching TV shows on another computer in the office.
She hadn’t noticed the Pearson couple coming in as she was hard of hearing.
Abigail guessed that it was about Kelly being slapped. She got up and walked toward them.
Scarlett, full of anger, walked up to Abigail and slapped her hard on the face.
Abigail stood still with her face turned to the side. She raised her hand to touch her cheek and said with a stern look in he eyes, “Since you like to protect Kelly, why don’t you let her come herself?” As soon as she finished speaking, Analise stepped in front of her.
The elderly woman held a broom in her hand and fiercely swept it toward Scarlett’s legs.
“Get out of here! Get lost!” she yelled angrily while sweeping at Scarlett.
Lawrence grabbed the broom handle, and his eyes were filled with cold determination.
“I dare you to do that one more time!” His eyes were terrifying, and his whole aura was incredibly intimidating.
Abigail looked at him as if she were looking at an enraged young wolf. “What?
Are you going to lay a hand on my grandmother?” “I don’t have respect for the elderly or love for the young here. Abigail, I’m giving you only one choice-take L. Moon back to Pendorf and never come to Capitalis again. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you never build L. Moon up again!” Lawrence growled as he pushed Analise aside.
|||
= O 2/3 Analise bumped into Abigail, and she looked at Lawrence, then back at Scarlett, who was full of disgust. Her heart turned cold.
Her biological parents hit her and told her to leave Capitalis… Analise’s eyes turned red all of a sudden. She turned and grabbed Abigail’s hand while crying, “Abigail, you’re really unlucky…” “Grandma, I’m fine. I won’t leave even if they asked me to,” Abigail said coldly while looking at Lawrence and Scarlett. “I’ve already made copies of the surveillance footage from the parking lot. I can’t wait to see whether the public will stand with the Pearsons or L.Moon when the time comes.” She couldn’t take on the Pearsons by herself, but what if she had the support of L.Moon and Fairy Meadow’s fans?
Since Kelly liked to play dirty, Abigail didn’t need to be so concerned about morals anymore.
“Do you think you can play the public opinion game against us? Abigail, L.Moon has only been in the business for a few years. Do you understand what real marketing is and what a real public opinion battle is?” Lawrence looked at Abigail with a gaze as if he were looking at an ant.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 505-High Blood Pressure Acting Up Analise tightly gripped the broom and glared at Lawrence and Scarlett. “You’ll regret this sooner or later!” Lawrence snorted, assuming that Analise was referring to public opinion. He had a disdainful look on his face as he retorted, “I won’t regret it. Even if Kelly did something wrong, we will support her as her parents.” Scarlett looked at Abigail and said, “I never expected someone with your talent to have such poor character. Kelly tried to please you multiple times, but you didn’t appreciate it. Instead, you joined forces with Sean to humiliate her. You
knew all along that even if Sean and the Pearsons joined together, you wouldn’t lose because Sean likes you, so you were perfectly fine. with him getting engaged to Kelly. It would solve L.Moon’s crisis, and you would get to enjoy seeing her make a fool of herself!” Abigail had no intention of explaining. Her face was red from being slapped, and it was evident that Scarlett had put all her strength behind the slap.
“You naturally won’t believe the words of an outsider, so think what you want. I won’t explain. what Kelly said. If you want to deal with L.Moon, go ahead. If I admit defeat, I’ll personally kneel and apologize to Kelly!” Abigail said coldly.
“Let’s wait and see then!” Lawrence said before taking out his phone and planning to call someone to deal with L.Moon directly.
Scarlett looked at Abigail and said, “If you apologize now and say you’ll leave Capitalis, we might spare you. Otherwise, L.Moon will not continue to operate from today onward.” Analise couldn’t help but start to say, “You know, Abigail is-” “Mr. Pearson, are you planning to have someone come here to cause trouble?
I’m still alive, and yet, you dare to mess with someone I care about?!” Sean walked in and interrupted Analise.
At the same time, he signaled to her not to continue speaking.
Lawrence looked at Sean with nothing but disgust in his eyes. “You’re a grown man, and you laid hands on a woman who is your future wife. No wonder Abigail wanted to divorce you.” Sean wasn’t angered by his words; instead, he gave a faint smile. “I hit a scum, and a scum has no gender.” Scarlett was furious upon hearing that. “What did you say?! On one hand, you’re helping Abigail make a union with the Pearson Family, and on the other, you’re mistreating my daughter. Is this how you should act?!” |||
O 1/3 Sean looked at her with a cold and indifferent gaze. “Madam Harper and Mr.
Pearson, it has always been Kelly who bullies others. Only you two would trust her words. Even your son doesn’t believe it, so what’s the point of discussing this?” “The Pearsons will cancel the engagement with you, but we won’t spare L.Moon!” Lawrence said and was about to leave with Scarlett.
“The engagement is not for you to decide. Since Kelly forced me into an engagement with the Pearsons, I have the final say in this marriage. If I don’t want to dissolve it, the agreement will stand forever. If you dare to harm L.Moon, you have to bear the consequences.” Sean looked at the man with a cold smile.
Scarlett was heartbroken with anger.
In the end, Lawrence snorted, grabbed Scarlett, and left.
As they left, Analise had tears in her eyes. “What did we do to deserve this?
How can we let a scumbag like this pit us against each other?” Sean patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. “Kelly won’t be able to keep up with this for much longer. Grandma, rest assured. With me around, I guarantee that L.Moon will be fine.” “It wouldn’t have been so messy today if you hadn’t contacted me privately,” Abigail suddenly mentioned. Her expression seemed a bit weary. “I really don’t want to make enemies. Now that you’re marrying into the Pearsons, can’t you just live peacefully and let me have some good days?” Abigail knew she shouldn’t blame Sean, but this time, it was undeniably him who had caused all the trouble..
Sean said, “We can’t live peacefully. Even if you and I live peacefully, Kelly won’t.” “Don’t blame Sean. He’s making a great sacrifice by marrying Kelly for L.Moon’s sake.” Analise stopped Abigail from blaming Sean further.
“I understand,” Abigail commented. “I’m just a bit upset.” “You two can talk it out. I’ll go to my room to rest.” Analise’s emotions had just fluctuated. dramatically, and her blood pressure was starting to rise again.
Abigail supported her grandmother into the room and said gently, “Grandma, don’t worry. Everything will pass.” “Okay.” Although Analise answered like this, she felt uncomfortable because Abigail had been slapped.
O <
2/3 That was Abigail’s mother they were talking about. Scarlett had come in and delivered such a heavy slap without a word.
Even Abigail’s father had said such harsh words to threaten her.
Analise had almost revealed the truth today, but would telling the truth really be beneficial?
In this situation, speaking the truth would only make Abigail feel worse, wouldn’t it?
Abigail came out of the room. Sean went to get some medicine and then looked at her. “Come here.” “I’ll have my assistant apply the medicine for me. You can go back now. I don’t want to see you.” She was obviously still angry with him.
“Abigail, I told you before that I would get married, but do you know who the bride is? It’s you.” Sean looked into her eyes when he spoke.
Abigail was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand. “I know. You can leave. I’m tired.” She didn’t want to talk to him about this anymore.
He had been saying these things a lot lately, and she knew she couldn’t stop him, so she chose to ignore him
I Want a Divorce Chapter 506-Finally Closing In Sean glanced at her and said, “If they come to cause trouble again, call me.
Luckily, your assistant worked overtime and called me in time today. Otherwise, things could have become chaotic here.” Lawrence would undoubtedly ruin L.Moon’s business.
Abigail remained silent, pursing her lips.
Tonight, she was angry, but deep down, she felt a strange mix of frustration and sadness that she couldn’t quite understand.
“You should go back now. I want to rest,” she replied, her tone cold.
He watched her for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you upset?” “No,” she replied with a blank face.
“In that case, get some rest. Remember, if they bother you again, make sure to call me, hmm?” Sean reassured her gently.
The truth was, he had a feeling he understood where Abigail’s sorrow was coming from.
After all, there were blood ties, and Lawrence and Scarlett had come to harass her. Why wouldn’t she feel upset?
Once Sean left, Abigail quietly organized the contracts on her desk, let her assistant go home, and returned to her room.
What she couldn’t understand was why she felt upset about Lawrence and Scarlett mistreating her.
Sean called Analise and asked her to take good care of Abigail.
In the past, she had Luna by her side, but now she was all alone, facing all of this by herself.
Analise also knew that Abigail’s heart was in pain, even if she didn’t know that those were her parents. However, blood relationships were sometimes quite complicated.
Sean had initially wanted to ask when they should deal with Kelly, but at that moment, he received a call from Xavien.
“We’ve located Luna.” |||
O 1/4 Sean immediately instructed the driver to head to the airport.
“Where is she?” he asked, his expression cold and stern as he looked out the car window at the night sky.
“She’s in Westcape Village,” Xavien replied with a grave tone.
Sean instructed the driver to pull over on the side of the road.
Westcape Village was a very special place. Abigail had once been deceived into going there.
Even if it were Sean, he could only go there privately.
He was unsure about the risks if he went there himself.
“You go ahead with your people, but be extremely cautious,” Sean commanded.
Was Luna taken there at this moment because their plan had leaked and they needed at hostage?
“Yes.” After ending the call, Sean informed his friend about the situation.
He began to execute the next phase of the plan.
After the execution was completed, he instructed the driver to proceed to the Pearson Residence.
When he arrived at the Pearson Residence, Lawrence was in the midst of a heated argument. with Josh on the phone, while Scarlett watched anxiously.
Sean’s unexpected arrival took all three of them by surprise.
Lawrence immediately ended the call and looked at Sean. “What are you doing here?” “Mr. Pearson and Madam Harper, I came to remind you that even if you are doing this for Miss Hagl, you should understand one thing-don’t burn bridges,” Sean said. He was concerned that the Pearsons might harm Abigail under Kelly’s instigation while he was away from Capitalis.
“Sean, you’re worried that we will take action against L..Moon and Abigail, aren’t you?” Lawrence countered in a cold tone.
Sean was about to respond when his phone vibrated.
Checking messages during a business discussion was indeed impolite, but he did it anyway.
<
24 He took out his phone and saw a message from a friend.
‘Except for Luna’s whereabouts, we are all ready to close in at dawn.” A faint smile appeared at the corner of Sean’s mouth. He raised his gaze to Lawrence, who looked utterly displeased. “It’s not that I’m worried. I’m just kindly warning you to prevent future regrets.
Lawrence snorted. “I never do things I’ll regret.” Sean put his phone away and said coldly, “I’ve said what I needed to say.” With that, he turned and left.
Scarlett wanted to say something, but Sean didn’t give her a chance.
He called his friend when he was outside.
“Kelly must have received the news as well. Have you sent someone to the Pearsons?” “It was arranged long ago. Don’t worry. Every corner is under surveillance, and she can’t. escape!” After nearly a year of surveillance, they were finally approaching a moment of victory.
Sean could sense his friend’s joy, and he replied with a faint smile, “Luna is also in Westcape Village. I’ve already had someone tailing her.” “If you need additional support on your end, let me know,” his friend said, his tone becoming more serious.
“There’s no need. Almost all of your people were exposed tonight. If I’m not mistaken, they might use Luna as leverage to get Kelly back. I won’t let Kelly go, so I have to handle this personally,” Sean said with a cold tone.
After ending the call, he took one last look at the Pearson Residence, then turned and left.
In the middle of the night, Kelly’s DNA test results were sent to Josh’s email.
At dawn, while it was still dark, Sean, who hadn’t slept all night, quietly arrived at Westcape Village.
Westcape Village consisted of three villages in total. After the fierce battle the previous night, all those involved in the scam had been caught, and sirens echoed through the town.
Sean, dressed as an ordinary person, met with Xavien and asked, “Where is she?” 3/4 “Her phone was thrown away at 2.00AM last night. When we arrived, her phone was already dead, Xavien replied with a serious expression.
Sean’s eyes instantly turned ice-cold, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 507-Handing Myself Over To You “Quickly search for her!” Sean said in a deep voice.
Xavien immediately gave orders to his team. Sean returned to his car and remained silent for a moment before sending messages to Vincent and Kelly.
‘Both of you have no way out now. Where is Luna? I can personally go in exchange for her!
Sean knew that even with Xavien searching this area, it would be impossible to find Luna in a short time. Hence, he decided to go and make the exchange personally.
The longer they waited, the more danger Luna would be in.
Neither Kelly nor Vincent replied to his messages.
Instead, a new phone number sent him a location. The message was clear.
‘Don’t bring anyone with you!” After stepping out of his car, Sean turned to Xavien and said, “I need to go somewhere. Xavien, you’ll have to handle things from here. If you don’t have enough capabilities, I may not come back.” Xavien’s eyes widened with astonishment. “You’re going on your own?” “If we search by ourselves, we might end up finding Luna’s body in the end,” Sean said calmly.
He couldn’t imagine how Abigail would react if something happened to Luna.
Luna was Abigail’s closest friend, and she had put herself in a dangerous situation to expose Kelly’s true identity.
Such a person was worth saving.
Moreover, Sean had promised Josh’that he would ensure Luna’s safety.
Upon seeing him drive away, Xavien couldn’t help but shout, “Mr. Graham, if I don’t find you. within 12 hours, I will explain everything to Ms. Quinn.” Sean responded with a grunt.
As the car disappeared into the night, Xavien clenched his hand that was resting at his side. After a moment, his expression turned resolute as he spoke into his walkie-talkie. “Everyone, come back. From now on, follow my instructions completely!” |||
1/3 As dawn approached, Abigail, who had a sleepless night, started to wake up.
Her head throbbed and her body felt exhausted.
She realized that her sleep had been deteriorating since Luna left L.Moon.
Analise burst into her room while holding a mobile phone. “Sean’s grandmother has been reported by the police for participating in a large-scale fraud operation and has been arrested by the Pendorf police. Should we go back to Pendorf to see?” Abigail’s eyes widened with her fingers pressing against her temples and she exclaimed, “How did you find out?” “The news was reported this morning and it’s all over the internet. Everyone in the kitchen. knows,” Analise said with concern.
Abigail pursed her lips. She couldn’t help but think that her previous suspicions about Kelly’s true identity were true. Had Kelly tricked Lina into participating?
“Old Mrs. Graham’s situation will have to be resolved by Sean himself. Let’s not return to Pendorf for now. I’ll call Old Mr. Graham and ask.” Abigail got out of bed and grabbed her phone.
Analise nodded while clutching her chest and said, “Why do I feel like something big is about to happen? Online reports say that the scam involved the entire village, with many shareholders like Sean’s grandmother participating. It’s rumored she made millions in profit. from it.” Abigail’s expression grew serious. If it was a simple case of being scammed, that would be one thing, but making money from it was an entirely different matter.
Was Kelly deliberately deceiving Lina to involve her and gain leverage over Sean?
Abigail made the call to Colby.
After several attempts, he finally picked up.
“Abigail, everything is fine on my end. Lina was taken away and I’m holding up well. Tell Sean not to worry about home. If his grandmother has committed a crime, she will be sentenced accordingly.” Colby’s voice was as warm and kind as always.
“Okay. I will let him know, but I think he’s probably aware,” Abigail replied. She knew that Colby’s words were more about getting her to interact more with Sean.
This time, she didn’t argue with him.
After all, Sean was a public figure. His closest family member being involved in such an incident would affect his public image and the company’s reputation.
O 2/3 “That’s good. I’ll hang up now, alright?” Colby spoke warmly and ended the call.
The phone made a beep and was hung up. Abigail looked at Analise and said, “Old Mr. Graham said he’s fine, so you don’t need to worry.” Analise had a complex expression. She looked at Abigail for a while before speaking, “Actually, there was a chance for us to stop Old Mrs. Graham.” But at that time, she held a grudge against Lina for mistreating Abigail, so she didn’t warn Colby.
Colby mentioned that there might be something wrong with Kelly’s identity, but he allowed Lina to continue her relationship with Kelly, which led to the current situation.
“You knew about the fraud case?” Abigail was surprised. While asking the question, she also called Sean.
Analise nodded and said, “When I was kidnapped, Kelly went to Colby behind Sean’s back, saying she wanted to discuss how to rescue me. Colby was suspicious and investigated her. He found that Kelly had ulterior motives, so he let her get close to Old Mrs. Graham on purpose.” Abigail was very surprised that Analise had participated in such matters behind the scenes.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Abigail asked, but her thoughts diverged.
Sean’s phone was still not being answered and she wondered if he was still asleep.
“We weren’t certain at the time, so we let things develop slowly,” Analise explained. She was primarily concerned about avoiding any. leaks.
Abigail nodded and held her phone while gazing at it for a while. “Isn’t Sean awake yet? He isn’t answering his phone.” “Maybe you can try later. He’s usually very busy. He might not have woken up yet,” Analise commented as she left to attend to her kitchen duties
I Want a Divorce Chapter 508-He’s In The Middle Of It Since Abigail was awake, she could only continue working on the contract she hadn’t finished. the previous night.
However, her mind was elsewhere.
If Lina’s involvement in the fraud was confirmed, it would bring significant turmoil to Graham International.
She set the contract aside and opened her computer to check Instagram for the latest developments in the case.
However, she was quickly drawn to the top trending topic.
“The police have dismantled three fraud hubs this morning, with the total amount involved. reaching over 100 billion.’ With the advancement of technology, fraud schemes had become more sophisticated over the years, resulting in losses ranging from hundreds to millions.
Abigail clicked on the trending topic and saw the words ‘Westcape Village.’ She broke out in a cold sweat.
Westcape Village had a long-standing connection with foreign fraud groups, and during their investigation, the police found millions of mobile phone numbers used for committing fraud across three villages in Westcape Village. What was even more despicable was that some of the fraudsters had infiltrated telecommunications companies, acting as moles and privately selling SIM cards to Westcape Village.
In this crackdown on fraud, over a thousand people were arrested, including those acting as moles.
“It’s worth mentioning that the breakthrough in this operation was made possible thanks to Sean Graham of Graham International. Sean revealed that he noticed his ex-wife’s phone behaving unusually during a misunderstanding and reported it to the relevant authorities. This provided a breakthrough in the year-long investigation into the Westcape Village fraud hubs.” The host in the video said this with a serious expression.
Abigail was in a daze. So Sean knew about my phone issues for a while. He deliberately created conflicts with me and allowed Kelly to approach Lina, leading to this new phase of the operation.
It seemed that everything was interconnected.

1:4 Sean was caught up in a complex situation and couldn’t openly discuss it with Abigail.
She then recalled the rural teacher who had saved her when she visited Westcape Village.
She had a strong feeling that Sean was somehow connected to that teacher.
She couldn’t wait any longer and tried to call him, but he still didn’t answer.
Is he too busy with the current situation?
After some chaotic thoughts, she decided not to call and disturb him.
Abigail calmed down and walked to the window. She looked at the lush trees below and couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder; it turned out that summer had also arrived in Capitalis again.
She and Sean had divorced before last summer. However, he had spent a long time with her in the countryside and cooked daily meals for her.
Looking back, Abigail realized that the past was like a fleeting moment, but every little thing that Sean did seemed like it had just happened yesterday.
For someone who was used to a luxurious life, he would go to the countryside, either to fish or catch shrimp, or to pick the freshest vegetables from the garden to cook for her.
All because she once said it was delicious.
Yet she had ignored all of these things due to her aversion to him.
Every time she saw him, her heart was filled with irritation at the troubles he brought her.
But now, as she thought it over, she realized that Sean had also done many things for her that people often overlooked.
Abigail sighed and returned to her seat before sending a message to Luna.
‘Have you gone back? If not, I’d like to talk to you.’ She sent the message, but there was no response.
She couldn’t help but frown. What is going on today? Why is everyone so busy?
With no one to talk to, Abigail focused on her work.
Josh woke up in the morning and saw an email on his phone. Initially, he thought it was a |||
<
2/4 scam email and didn’t pay much attention to it.
However, as he was getting ready, his mind kept wandering back to what Kelly had done, making him absent-minded. He returned to his room and picked up his phone before replying to the email.
‘Do you think the tests conducted by the Pearsons are more credible than yours?” After half an hour of restless waiting, he finally received a reply.
‘Even if it’s credible, can it be more credible than tests in which Luna personally collected the hair, skin cells, and blood from Kelly?’ Josh stared at the reply and was unable to snap out of his daze.
He remembered how Luna had gone from hating him due to his interference in her relationship with Howard to suddenly agreeing to be with him. It all made sense now.
She got involved with him to obtain information that would help reveal Kelly’s true identity.
‘Who are you to Luna? Or are you Luna herself?’ I’m her friend, and this was a task entrusted to me by her. I’ve completed the task, and this email address won’t be used anymore!
When Josh was still in doubt, he tried to send another email, but it bounced back with a message saying the email address didn’t exist.
He immediately called Sean, but there was no answer.
As such, Josh had no choice but to book a flight back to Capitalis.
At the airport, he called Lawrence.
When the call connected, he asked, “Is Kelly at home?” “She hasn’t left her room since she was bullied last night,” Lawrence replied with a sigh, hist concern evident in his voice.
Upon thinking about the email, Josh worried that Kelly might have escaped.
“Can you go knock on her door and check?” Josh asked instinctively.
“Are you bossing me around now? I thought you didn’t want to care about your sister because of your girlfriend!” Lawrence retorted sarcastically.
Josh didn’t want to argue with him and replied casually, “Forget it, then.” With that her hang up the phone Lowerner was so annoyed that he nearly smashed his phone. The going through a erhelaous phase now! He hung up on me before I could finish speaking”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 509-Before Josh could fly back to Capitalis, Scarlett called to inform him that Kelly had been taken away.
“Sean’s grandmother said she invested in stock market manipulation and the dating scam under Kelly’s guidance! What exactly is going on?” Scarlett cried hysterically, struggling to catch her breath.
Meanwhile, Lawrence had already gone to the police station to negotiate regarding Kelly’s situation.
“Let’s talk when I get back,” Josh replied, feeling anxious.
If Kelly’s true identity was fake, the test results obtained in front of his parentswhere they watched her get her blood drawn and tested-must have been
falsified by the doctor.
Scarlett was still crying, and Josh’s mood was bad. After trying to comfort her for a while, he ended the call.
If Kelly’s real identity was questionable, the Pearsons would become a laughingstock in high. society. They had held a grand reunion party for her just at the end of last year, and the entire elite social circle in Capitalis knew that the Pearsons had found their long-lost heiress. who had been missing for nearly twenty years.
Now, they were being told that Kelly’s identity might be fake.
of someone!
So, what was the purpose impersonating a fake heiress?
Abigail was busy working when her assistant rushed in with a surprised expression, exclaiming, “The news that Kelly isn’t the heiress of the Pearsons is exposed online! The evidence is compelling. It’s unbelievable!” Upon hearing this news, Abigail was equally surprised.
“Who exposed this?” she couldn’t help but ask.
“It was posted by someone who has already deactivated their account,” the assistant replied.
Abigail opened her computer and checked Instagram.
The test results appeared valid, but how could anyone prove that the test results provided by the anonymous source were genuine and related to Kelly and the Pearsons?
= |||
1/3 <
However, most internet users didn’t seem concerned with these technical details. They were more interested in whether Kelly was indeed a fake heiress.
The fact that the information had been exposed, and the other party even paid to trend on social media, meant someone wanted to make the Pearsons pay attention to this matter again.
But who could it be?
Abigail felt it couldn’t be anyone in her immediate circle, as someone with evidence would have gone directly to the Pearsons instead of posting it online.
“If Kelly has no connection to the Pearsons, will Miss Smith come back?” the assistant asked eagerly.
Abigail nodded and picked up her phone. “I’ll try calling her.” The assistant watched with anticipation as Abigail dialed Luna’s number.
However, the phone was switched off.
“Just look at the time. Why is her phone off?” Abigail mumbled.
The assistant also found it strange. “Miss Smith has low battery anxiety. How could her phone be turned off?” Abigail didn’t know about Luna’s condition, so she couldn’t help but ask, “What is low battery anxiety?” “Luna doesn’t admit it,” the assistant said before quickly moving to Abigail’s side. “But she won’t leave home if her phone’s battery is below 90%. She even carries around a massive portable charger. In the early days of her career, I heard that her phone was once turned off due to low battery while she was making a call to a client. The client thought she was insincere and untrustworthy, and during the second call, she got scolded and lost the cooperation.” After hearing the assistant’s explanation, Abigail felt a sense of unease.
The assistant realized that she might have said too much and promptly added, “Miss Quinn, I’ll get back to work.” “Mm.” Abigail was well aware that even in the most challenging times, L..Moon didn’t have it as tough as when they were starting from scratch.
She had wasted three meaningless years, while Luna had endured her fair share of hardships during that time.
2/3 But now, not only was Abigail unable to reach Sean on the phone, but she also couldn’t get through to Luna.
Her only option was to call Josh.
Josh had just gotten off the plane and learned from Eric that the news about Kelly not being the Pearsons’ heiress had gone viral on the internet.
As soon as Abigail’s call came in, he answered. “Hello, can you reach Luna? I tried calling her, but it says her phone is turned off.” “I can’t reach her either… I was just about to ask you that,” Abigail replied.
“She’s not in Pendorf, and she’s not in Capitalis either. She suddenly lost contact. Do you have some time? I’d like to talk to you later,” Josh said, his tone unintentionally gentler.
“You can come after work, then.” Abigail agreed.
After making plans with Abigail, Josh headed home promptly.
At this moment, Scarlett was severely affected by the successive bad news at the Pearson Residence. Her emotions were in a terrible state.
Upon seeing Josh return, she immediately began crying, and her eyes were red.
“This is definitely all Sean’s doing! He used his grandmother to ensnare your sister, who doesn’t know anything, to take revenge for Abigail and L.Moon!” “Didn’t you see the news online? Kelly might not be our family member at all,” Josh said. bluntly.
If Kelly wasn’t related to them, where could his sister be?
“What? What nonsense are you spewing? Your sister has caused such a huge incident- “Mom, I’ve already had Dad personally go to the police station to get her belongings for a DNA test. We’ll have the results within a day!” Josh cut his mother off directly.
Scarlett still couldn’t believe it. “How could this be possible? It must be all because of Sean!” “Have you lost your mind over Kelly?!” Josh retorted. “Right now, you should be focusing on managing public opinion. Even if it’s confirmed that Kelly is fake, we can’t let public opinion escalate!
I Want a Divorce Chapter 510-Don’t Expose The Truth Scarlett regained her composure when Josh pointed out the situation. She quickly took our her phone to check what was happening online.
She realized the connection between the exposed scam hubs and Kelly’s false identity as the Pearsons heiress.
Scarlett promptly called the public relations team to handle the situation regarding Kelly. After giving them instructions, she turned to Josh and asked, “So, now we just wait for your father’s results?” “Yes,” Josh nodded.
At that moment. Eric rushed in.
Upon seeing Josh and Scarlett sitting in the living room, not saying a word to each other, he said. “Is it possible that Abigail is your family’s child?” “No way!” Scarlett immediately protested.
Eric was taken aback.
Josh also turned to look at her. “Why are you so agitated?” Scarlett gasped for breath. “It’s impossible. Absolutely not… Even she felt a bit guilty about her own words. It was clear that the differences in appearance and temperament were already strong evidence, but they believed in the test results.
Besides, she had slapped Abigail’s face until it turned red just last night.
Scarlett couldn’t accept this reality.
Eric sat down next to Josh.
After a while, Josh told Scarlett, “I’m going to see Dad. I’ll have Eric stay here with you.” “Can I come with you?” Scarlett asked, her eyes red.
Josh nodded.
The three of them arrived at the hospital, and Lawrence didn’t look well. When he saw Josh and the others approaching, he just glanced at them, withdrew his gaze, and continued to sit there.
г 1/4 Josh walked up to Lawrence and looked at him for a long time before sitting down beside him.
Lawrence had a preference for Kelly, so when Kelly returned, the man who usually dominated the business world suddenly became nervous, sweating profusely, and fidgety. He was completely different from his usual self.
During the first three years of his daughter’s disappearance, he had almost gone insane searching all over the country. Whenever child trafficking cases were solved, he insisted on visiting the locations.
He invested a lot of money in charitable organizations focused on missing children and hired specialists to search. However, there were no results at all.
A young Josh often saw his father sitting on the living room couch late at night, gazing at his sister’s photo and silently shedding tears. In the end, his father would hold the picture and weep soundlessly.
Josh always thought his father’s shoulders were like the sky-so broad and strong that he and his sister could play on them. But when his father held the picture and sobbed silently in the late night, those trembling shoulders seemed as fragile as they might crumble.
Now, the one who felt the most terrible with this result was him.
His daughter, whom he had longed for so much, had finally returned, but she turned out to be a fake.
The three of them waited until it was dark when the test results finally came out.
He had personally drawn Kelly’s blood and brought in an authoritative doctor to conduct the test.
The results confirmed what was reported on the internet.
Kelly had no blood relationship with him..
Scarlett stared at the results, crying out in a mournful cry. “Abby, where are you?” After she spoke, she fainted, unable to withstand the shock.
Lawrence quickly held her and yelled, “Doctor! Doctor! My wife has fainted!” He then carried Scarlett in search of a doctor.
Josh planned to follow, but he was stopped by Eric.
“Have you considered having Abigail try?” Eric asked.
|||
24 She wouldn’t agree. During your absence, Kelly did many things that caused tension between my parents and Abigail,” Josh said in a low voice.
Right now, they could maintain peace between the two families if they didn’t expose the truth.
But if they did expose it… Josh didn’t dare to think about it.
How much had they wronged Abigail for the sake of Kelly?
Back in the day, when Analise was wrongly accused of sending poisonous mushrooms to Colby and Abigail slapped Kelly in the hospital, he still defended Kelly. How did Abigail feel at that time?
She was harmed by Kelly and misunderstood. Even when they arrived at the hospital, Sean didn’t show her any kindness. Both she and Analise endured great grievances before leaving. the hospital.
“I went to L. Moon before coming here. Abigail’s assistant said that your parents visited L.Moon last night. Your mother slapped Abigail, causing her face to become swollen. Your father even threatened her, saying if she didn’t leave Pendorf, L.Moon wouldn’t be able to operate again. If the assistant hadn’t quickly contacted Sean, L.Moon wouldn’t be in business. today,” Eric muttered and sighed.
Josh couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He whispered, “How did it come to this point? Analise even had a high blood pressure attack.” “I have an appointment with Abigail, so I’m going first. Let my parents know.” After he finished speaking, he walked away and left the room.
He first made an appointment with Abigail to meet at a restaurant and asked her to wait for him for half an hour. Then, he went to L.Moon.
Abigail had already left L.Moon when Josh arrived.
In the office, Josh saw Analise folding clothes and couldn’t help but say, “Mrs.
Quinn, I want to talk to you.” Analise’s hearing was getting worse, and she hadn’t heard him come in.
She turned to look at him when he spoke. “You want to discuss the matter of your sister?” Josh nodded and walked over. His eyes took on a dazed expression when he looked at the clothes Analise was folding.
When his little sister went missing, she was just a few years old, and his parents often took. out her tiny clothes to look at.
3/4 As he watched Analise folding Abigail’s clothes, he couldn’t help but think that time had passed quickly. If the little girl had grown up safely, she would be wearing clothes this size now.
