Ch. 521..530
I Want a Divorce Chapter 521-In A Coma Abigail turned to Luna. “We have been having video calls for two weeks, and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with him.” With that, she showed Luna the screenshots.
Luna looked through the photos but couldn’t find anything amiss. “Maybe he just came back to retrieve something before going abroad again,” she murmured.
Abigail nodded. “That’s possible. He has a lot of clients, so it’s understandable if he forgot something and had to come back to get it.”
“Yeah. You two video call every day, so there’s nothing strange about it!” Luna agreed.
Shortly after their conversation, Analise rushed into the office. As she found the two women there, she put on a calm front, but she struggled to find an excuse.
“It seems like Colby is having a hard time taking care of his wife, so I need to check on them. At the same time, you should hire a new chef. I’ll be back in a month at most.” Ever since Lina got bailed out last week, she had fallen ill and was bedridden.
Abigail didn’t entirely agree with Analise’s plan to visit the Graham Estate, but she had to respect her grandmother’s wishes.
After all, Theodore and Colby were good friends.
The sudden turn of events caught the Grahams off guard, and Colby probably felt overwhelmed by the weight on his shoulders. Since Analise was a friend of the Graham. Family, it was understandable that she wanted to check on them.
“Don’t let anyone bully you, alright?” Abigail was referring to Lina, who wasn’t known for being reasonable.
“Then, she’s asking for trouble.” Analise refused to let Lina pick on her.
Luna couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “You’re the head chef while she’s a patient, Grandma. If she wants to fight you, you can smack her with the spatula!” Abigail chuckled as well. “That’s right. Old Mrs. Graham deserves it.” Lina knew nothing about investments, yet she dared to invest in Kelly’s project, which turned. out to be a scam, after listening to the younger woman’s words. If she had known anything at all, she could’ve ended up in jail.
Analise gathered a few things and left immediately.

1/3 r She had learned useful knowledge during her stay in Capitalis Not only was she good at using public transportation on her own, but she also learned how to use a smartphone, so she was capable of taking care of herself.
Abigail and tuna accompanied her to the airport, but not before giving her a few reminders.
Once she was on board, she immediately called Colly “I’m on my way. Abigail and Lana don’t suspect anything, but you have to be honest with me. How is Sean doing? After learning that Sean had been in an accident and Colby was exhausted from handling everything on his own, she decided to lend him a hand.
“He’s been in a coma for almost a month. It’s no different from being in a vegetative state at this point, Colby explained. He had been pretending to be Sean as he handled the company’s affairs, and it was taking a toll on him.
Ever since Sean took over the company, he had spent almost ten years relaxing. He had been living a life of luxury until he had to go back to work. Only half a month had passed, but he was already stressed out.
He needed someone for moral support. I feel like I’m about to have a mental breakdown.
But what hurt him the most was that the doctors couldn’t do anything about Sean’s condition.
Even Navien had woken up by this point, but there was no sign of Sean waking up.
Tears welled up in Analise’s eyes. “How long until the doctors declare him dead?” It’s not fair. Sean is a mature, organized, and dependable young man. Why would something like this happen to him? What a bitter life for such a promising individual.
“About two months. Colby sounded down on the other end of the line.
“It’s okay. There’s still time, right?” She patted her chest as she comforted him, saying, “Theodore is watching over him.” She made a promise to Colby. When she arrived in Pendorf, she immediately visited. Theodore’s grave. Placing a hand on his tombstone, she tearfully begged, “You’re watching. over the boy, right? Ask him to come back to us.
Everyone is worried about him. Colby doesn’t deserve to lose his grandchild.” When a person is driven to despair, they cling to false hope.
Analise spent some time mourning her late husband and reminiscing about their happy memories before leaving the cemetery
2/3 When she arrived at the Graham Estate, she was greeted by a gaunt and whitehaired Colby. With a sob, she commented, “You look older than I remember.” “People eventually get old at some point. Take a shower first. I’ll ask Cameron to order dinner for us.” Colby had everything planned out.
She nodded and changed into some slippers. It was only then that she realized there was only. a butler tending to the chores in such a huge villa. Everywhere was covered in dust, giving her the feeling that Colby didn’t want word about Sean’s condition to get out, so they had sent the servants away.
After taking a shower, she went to Sean’s room.
His room had been converted into a ward, and it smelled like a hospital. Even after she opened the window, she could still smell the disinfectants.
He was lying on the soft mattress when she entered the room. His face was pale, and hist cheeks were sunken. There were stitches on his left brow, not fully healed.
Seeing Sean lying on the dark mattress reminded her of a vampire. Even though he looked lifeless, one couldn’t deny that he was still handsome.
She stifled a sob with her hand at the sight. Reaching out to hold his slender wrist, she called out, “Do you remember me, Sean? I’m Abigail’s grandma. You like my pasta and arancini, don’t you? I’ll gladly make them for you today. You can have them as soon as you up.
The man didn’t respond.
Cameron sat beside the bed, looking defeated.
wake Sean always forced a smile when he made a video call with Abigail. But as the call ended and he stayed beside Sean’s bed all alone, sorrow overwhelmed him.
He might only be Sean’s subordinate, but they had formed a bond over time
I Want a Divorce Chapter 522-She Has Done An Impressive Job Analise had a conversation with Sean before leaving the room with Cameron.
Upon entering the living room, Colby began, “I suppose I can no longer hold on.
If I can’t handle it anymore, I’ll let Abigail take over the company. At that point, I’ll teach her what’s important. I simply don’t trust outsiders to manage the company.” “Nonsense. There’s still time. Sean will pull through,” Analise said as she observed her surroundings. Her displeased voice suddenly echoed in their ears.
“You men have been doing a poor job managing the household. Look at how
dirty the place is! If I were Sean, I wouldn’t want to wake up in such an environment either.” She had always believed that the atmosphere in the house influenced a person’s life. The oppressive atmosphere, the lack of vitality, and the mess around us aren’t contributing to Sean’s condition at all.
Colby and Cameron, caught off guard by the scolding, were stunned.
“Cameron, gather your men. It’s time for a thorough cleaning. A comfortable environment is essential for the patient’s well-being.” Analise didn’t let Sean’s coma discourage her. Instead, she felt motivated to make a change.
Cameron nodded reflexively. “S-Sure!” Analise’s arrival at the Graham Estate began to bring about some changes.
“Make sure to clean every corner. Get rid of anything useless!” Analise ordered the men with a serious expression. Afterward, she turned to examine the latest vacuum cleaner.
After a few attempts, she figured out how to use it. She marveled, “Modern technology certainly improves our lives. Look, we can clean more efficiently.” Cameron sat on the freshly cleaned staircase and watched her. He felt more at ease seeing the child-like smile on her face.
No matter how dire the situation, she remains optimistic. No wonder Abigail has such strong willpower too. With Analise’s arrival, this place has come back to life, just like the first buds of spring. They’ve started to bloom, thrive, and flourish under her influence.
Analise, full of energy, lived a vibrant and active life.
A group of burly men obediently followed her instructions like kindergarten children. They clumsily tidied up the place. Whenever they missed a spot, she would reprimand them. Yet, they would respond with a grin before returning to their tasks.
|||
O 1/3 The villa was completely cleaned up after two hours of hard work.
It gave Colby a sense of warmth he hadn’t felt before. Even though he still had to deal with. the documents, it was less frustrating.
“Ask your men to bring these plants back.” Analise handed her phone to Cameron during her. break.
He took her phone and looked at the notes on the screen. Then, he nodded.
“Alright.” She had chosen a selection of plants that were not harmful to the human body.
After stretching, she walked into the kitchen.
“Aren’t you going to take a break?” Colby couldn’t help but ask.
She turned to him with a stern expression. “What? Were you expecting free labor? I’m not doing this for free, you know. Besides, I have a lot of work to do at Abigail’s company.” Staying active is beneficial to the body, even in old age.
Back when she still lived in the countryside, she grew crops in her backyard.
Therefore, she considered cleaning the house an easier task.
He awkwardly replied, “Okay.” Analise continued into the kitchen. She started by making stew and then moved on to preparing the pasta.
Cameron returned as soon as she finished preparing the pasta.
She was still wearing an apron when she instructed the men to bring the flower pots upstairs.
Colby purposely avoided Cameron as he recorded Analise commanding the men and sent the video to Abigail. ‘Look at this. Your grandma has changed so much after living with for a year!
Abigail, staying in Capitalis, watched the video. She chuckled at Analise’s energy. and determination. ‘She’s the head chef, after all. Without authority, things would go awry.” you That was just one of the reasons. Analise was known as a formidable lady in Quinn Village during her younger days. It was just that she didn’t have the opportunity to showcase her true colors in her later years. When tourism thrived in Quinn Village, she was in charge of welcoming tourists. Her enthusiasm greatly helped in getting things done.
A new message from Colby appeared. ‘She still loves gardening!
|||
J 2/3 Abigail replied to the message with a smile, ‘Grandma has high standards for life. She had a small garden back then. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. She’s passionate about life. No matter where she is, she can improve the situation by living her life to the fullest, even during difficult times.
Abigail’s determination mirrored Analise’s.
I’m glad to have her. By the way, remember to take care of yourself. I need your grandma’s help here.
‘Of course. You too.
Abigail watched the video several more times before downloading it to her phone.
Grandma is doing an impressive job there. It’s worth saving on my phone.
Just as she replayed the scene in her mind, Lawrence and Scarlett came to visit.
Abigail frowned when Selena informed her about their visit. “Grandma has gone to Pendorf. They can come back in a month.” Selena returned to the sitting room and relayed the message. Lawrence couldn’t hide his disappointment upon hearing that. “I see. Can we speak to Ms. Quinn instead?” Scarlett was also eager to meet Abigail, but there hadn’t been an opportunity to do so in the past month.
The assistant looked troubled. “Miss Quinn is currently busy. She’s leading a team for a project. Their schedule is booked until next year, and she doesn’t even have time to eat properly. I’m afraid you can’t see her without an appointment.” Although the Pearsons were acting friendly now, she remembered them coming to L.Moon because of the incident with Kelly, the con woman. One of them physically harmed Abigail while the other threatened to bring down L.Moon.
Now they want to see Abigail? Not a chance!
I Want a Divorce Chapter 523 -It Was Planned All Along Even if Abigail was free, Selena refused to let them see her.
Lawrence tugged at Scarlett’s sleeve before she could say anything. “Sure, we’ll set an appointment. Please inform her of that.” “Wait here.” Selena gave them a brief response as she walked back to Abigail’s office.
She knocked on the door when she was outside before entering to report.
“Abigail, when I told them Old Mrs. Quinn wasn’t available, they changed their minds and said they wanted. to see you instead. They want to make an
appointment, but I don’t think you should see them. I bet they want to apologize, but what’s the point of it now?” Abigail nodded and calmly replied, “Sure. Decline their request. Inform them that I won’t be available until next year, and we’ll see what happens when that time comes.” She wasn’t lying about her busy schedule. She would rather complete her work than see the couple.
Selena cheered at the response. She turned on her heels and walked out of the office to inform the Pearsons of Abigail’s decision.
After conveying Abigail’s message to them, she couldn’t help but add, “Mr.
Pearson, Madam. Harper-even I, a mere assistant, remember what you had done in L.Moon a month ago. If I were you guys, I wouldn’t have the audacity to come here again. Ms. Quinn forgives and forgets, but I hope you won’t bother her again.” Lawrence choked on his breath while Scarlett’s eyes reddened with emotion.
Their biggest mistake was spoiling Kelly too much to the point of being unreasonable.
If only they had been firmer with her, it wouldn’t have led to this.
“I understand. Thanks for reminding us.” Lawrence was pale as he said that.
Then, he took Scarlett’s hand and walked out of the waiting area.
The pair exited the building. He had to stand there for a few minutes to collect himself. It was only then that he felt the warm sunlight on his skin again.
His wife sniffled as she walked toward the car without saying a word.
As soon as she got into the car, she burst into tears. A strong pang of sadness tore her heart apart.
They were ninety-nine percent sure that Abigail was their child, yet they just lacked the |||
1/3 crucial one percent to prove the theory. Moreover, she now refused to see them after they had wronged her.
Lawrence joined his wife in the car and handed her a tissue.
She selbed, saying. Tll kill whoever dared to mess with us! How dare they replace our biological daughter with a fake one? Lawrence, I’m losing hope.
There’s a breakthrough within reach. Yet, we are trapped, always one step away from achieving what we have been working hard for. What have we done to deserve this? Why are all these bad things happening to us?
He felt his throat dry and his eyes prick. He looked down and squeezed her hand as he said. determinedly, “One day, Abigail will change her opinion about us. But first, I need to find out who set up our encounter with Kelly. As soon as I figure out their motives, we’ll find out how we lost our daughter.” “It’s been twenty years. Is it still possible?” Scarlett looked up hopefully.
“I’ll find out the truth, even if it costs me my life,” he promised.
Before they met Kelly, they had always thought that their daughter was separated from them due to a pure accident.
Come to think of it, it had been planned all along. It’s our fault for letting the culprit get away for twenty years, but I’ll fix this.
Since Abigail refused to take the test, he was now obligated to find out whether she was their daughter or not.
They thought Kelly was their long-lost daughter. Who would’ve thought the painful truth would soon shatter their happiness into small pieces? The stark contrast was too much for both him and Scarlett.
Analise spent time decorating Sean’s room. The flowers and greenery made it seem more lively. Even the disinfectant smelled less strong than before.
After that, she went to prepare the pasta in the kitchen.
Once she finished cooking, she called out to the others from the kitchen. “It’s time for dinner!” Cameron was the first to arrive. It smells delicious!
The range hood couldn’t even vent out the smell from the kitchen. The aroma traveled. through the air and filled every corner of the villa, causing everyone’s mouth to water.
|||
2/3 Colby shoved past the younger man and rushed into the kitchen.
Analise put a bowl of stew and a plate of pasta on the tray before handing it to him. “Good job today.” “No. I should be the one thanking you.” Colby gulped.
She chuckled at the eagerness on his face. “Let me know if there’s a need for improvement. I love hearing feedback.” “Of course.” He picked up the tray and walked away.
Cameron and the group of men he brought in received their portions as well.
Meanwhile, Analise brought Xavien’s portion to his room.
She had decorated his room with greenery as well. She even placed some mind-soothing lavender and scented sachets around his room.
Xavien could smell the food in his room. When Analise walked into the room with the tray, he swallowed thickly at the aroma. “Old Mrs. Quinn, you have been working all day. Aren’t you supposed to take a break?” “Don’t underestimate the old lady,” she teased.
He immediately shook his head. “I wouldn’t dare.” She helped him adjust the height of the bedside table before setting down the food. Then, she finally turned to him with kindness. “I made the stew specially for you. It’ll help your wounds heal quicker. Be honest and tell me if the taste isn’t what you expect, and I’ll change my recipe.” “Okay,” he obediently answered.
She caressed his head as though he was a child. “It must be hard for you with what happened to Sean. Just eat as much as you can. Don’t be shy to ask for a second serving. They’ll get it for you. In the meantime, I’ll check up on Sean.” “I will.” Warmth filled the man’s chest
I Want a Divorce Chapter 524-Analise Was Special To Them The accident marked a significant turning point in Xavien’s life as Sean’s assistant. He was no longer the old him, the special assistant who wouldn’t take action without Sean’s orders. Now, he could handle everything independently without needing Sean’s guidance.
Analise arrived at Sean’s room with food. Before she could say anything, the sound of a plate. shattering in another room interrupted her.
“Pasta? For a patient? What is wrong with her?” Lina’s words echoed loudly.
Analise stood up from her chair and took a deep breath. She informed Sean, “I need to talk to her. I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
As she turned around and left the room, she completely missed the twitch of Sean’s eyelid.
Analise entered Lina’s room and addressed Cameron, who stood there with a helpless and. aggrieved expression. “Go eat, Cameron. I will take charge of all her meals from now on.” “Who do you think you are? Abigail shouldn’t have allowed you to come! We are- “You can still yell. It seems like you aren’t hungry at all. However, you’ve wasted your portion, so you have no choice but to deal with it. Take your time to reflect on yourself.” After that, Analise turned around.
Lina immediately cursed, “You old hag! Don’t you dare act like you’re in charge in my house!” Analise turned around and approached Lina, grabbing her by the hair and pressing her onto the bed. “Normally, I try to avoid fighting with you. But are you sure you want to do this when you’re sick? You know what? I’m now in charge of the household. Not only will I give you orders, but I’ll also teach you a lesson.” With that, she forcefully pulled Lina’s ear. Lina kicked her feet in the air, crying out in pain.
A fight broke out in the room. Analise placed her hand on Lina’s leg to stop her from kicking. then straddled her. She picked up a pillow and struck Lina with it.
The two exchanged insults as they fought.
Colby focused on eating his portion of pasta while listening to the commotion upstairs with Cameron and the group of men.
Lina gradually stopped yelling, and they could hear her quiet weeping.
“That’s so scary,” Cameron muttered.
|||
O 1/3 Colby grinned at the young man. “Never underestimate women.” His innocent comment sent a shiver down the bulky men’s spines.
Despite Analise’s fierce nature, she treated them kindly. For instance, the pasta she made wast delicious and reminded them of home. The soup was equally amazing, giving them a boost of energy.
As the men engaged in small talk, Analise descended the stairs with disheveled hair. She ignored the gazes directed at her as she picked up the floor cleaner and returned upstairs.
It seemed like she had emerged as the victor.
She entered Lina’s room and began cleaning up the leftover food and broken plate shards.
Lina glared at the other woman, dissatisfied with the outcome of their fight.
However, she didn’t dare provoke Analise any further. Not only had she been slapped, but her ear was also on the verge of being torn off by Analise, and her face had endured several pillow smacks. Most importantly, she was starving and unable to fight back.
After tidying up the room, Analise walked out and closed the door with a thud.
“Where’s my food?” Lina yelled at the closed door.
Analise ignored her, and Lina began to whine on the bed.
Analise smoothed out the wrinkles on her shirt before returning to Sean’s room.
She engaged in small talk with him as she enjoyed her dinner. Setting her spoon down, she added, “Come back to us. You’ll enjoy my food.” As soon as she finished speaking, Sean’s eyelid twitched again.
However, due to her poor eyesight, she didn’t notice the slight movement.
She spent some time cleaning up the kitchen before returning to Sean’s room.
She brought a bucket of warm water to clean his body.
Colby entered the room as well, feeling guilty as he watched her do all the work.
After everything, we still rely on Analise to help us out.
“You should take a break. Let Cameron take over the task,” he suggested.
“It’s already tiring enough to work for Sean. Take Xavien as an example. He’s so young, yet he almost died. There’s no need to burden them. Besides, men aren’t careful enough. They don’t know the ideal water temperature for washing a patient’s body.” With that, she placed the |||
2/3 soaked towel on Sean’s chest.
The warm towel touched his skin, warming his body and giving his cheeks a rosy hue.
His eyelid twitched rapidly.
Colby noticed and quickly walked to the bedside, saying, “Kid, can you hear us?” The twitching continued.
Analise immediately put on her glasses and joined Colby by the bed. They watched Sean’s face attentively.
When she noticed another twitch, she exclaimed, “Ah! You’re right!” Her loud voice caused Sean’s finger to twitch.
Colby was impressed. “I’m glad you were here. His condition has improved.” He then called the doctor to examine Sean.
Tears welled up in Cameron’s eyes upon hearing the news.
A group gathered in Sean’s room, waiting for the doctor to conduct a full body check-up.
Once the doctor finished, he stood tall and addressed Sean, “If you can hear me, Mr. Graham, move your body.” Sean’s response was a twitch of his eyelid.
The doctor gasped in surprise before turning to the group and announcing the results, “He’s regaining consciousness, but it will take time for him to fully wake up. However, he can hear you. What have you done?” “Maybe it’s the power of his favorite food,” Colby replied.
“Then, you should continue. He’s still fighting.” A joyful smile appeared on the doctor’s face. He was relieved to see Sean’s condition improving.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 525-Loveme Colby was ecstatic to hear the doctor’s words. He couldn’t help but turn to Analise and embrace her as tears streamed down his face. “He’s waking up!
Analise, thank you so much!” He broke into sobs while she gently patted his back. With teary eyes, she replied, “That’s right. Like I told you before, we all need to stay strong so Sean knows we’re supporting him.” It was only her first day there, yet Sean was already regaining consciousness. It seemed that the food she had prepared held a special significance to him.
After the doctor left the room, he asked her to accompany him.
She walked him to the entrance, and he took the initiative to strike up a conversation. “It seems like you have a special connection with Mr. Graham.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have regained consciousness just from smelling the food. Who exactly are you?” His question caught her off guard.
“I am his ex-wife’s grandmother. He used to visit my house frequently and share meals with us. I suppose it’s deeply ingrained in his memory,” she explained.
The doctor shook his head. “No, I believe the connection is directed towards you. You must hold a special place in his heart for him to react to the food you made. Now we know where to start.” Analise pondered the doctor’s words and eventually nodded. As she watched the doctor leave, she remained in the yard, unable to gather herself.
Has he always seen me as someone special? I must have deeply hurt him by pushing him and Abigail to divorce. Analise felt guilty. However, there’s no use crying over spilled milk. We’ll address that later.
In June, the president of Leap and Fairy Meadow collaborated to launch an application that focused on allowing users to try on outfits remotely. The application’s customizable avatar function and realistic details, which reflected the user’s body data, garnered a lot of attention.
Therefore, Kirby, the president of Leap, along with the executives of Fairy Meadow, and Abigail and Luna from L.Moon, held a launch event.
A man who had dedicated his life to developing games wasn’t limited to shining solely in the gaming industry.
Kirby, whose ego had been deflated and neglected during the computer conference, found solace in the launch event today.
|||
O 1/3 Many industry professionals attended the event to witness the unveiling of the latest technology.
Until now, there had been no concept of trying on outfits in any application, so fashion influencers had been popular among netizens. However, with the launch of this application, it might undermine the influencers’ job opportunities.
This was inevitable, as humans would never cease to progress. Consequently, technology would continue to advance as well.
A large group of journalists had gathered in the conference hall, and a thousand guests had been invited to the event.
Abigail wore a sleeveless black dress and a tulle cape for the occasion. She tied her hair in at bun and secured it with a black and gold pin. She confidently walked, exuding a relaxed and composed aura.
It had been two weeks since Luna’s return. She maintained her usual clothing style, donning a crop top with a denim jacket, a pair of shorts, and a pair of Dr.
Martens, looking as stylish as ever.
The crowd erupted in cheers as soon as they appeared. Online, the audience bombarded the live stream with comments.
The two women from L.Moon really outshine the nerds from Leap. Come on, you’re attending an event. Can’t you Leap guys make an effort to dress better?
You’re embarrassing your fellow creators here.
‘Don’t forget that Fairy Meadow is also a fashion brand. Mr. Creed is the only one who looks presentable. Look at the other shareholders. They need to lose weight. I doubt the chairs can support them!
“You forgot to mention the gray-haired shareholder. He looks so handsome for his age. I can’t believe he has to be the face of their group for the sake of his fellow shareholders. The younger ones are dragging him down. Aren’t you ashamed that you’re not as good as ant elderly man?’ “The presidents of L.Moon slay as always. Urgh, why can’t they just marry me?’ ‘Get out of here. Alana is our crush! But today, I have a new crush, Luna. Ahh.
Imagine having two beautiful women by your side.’ Josh, among the audience, was awestruck by Luna’s charm. He stared at her affectionately. My darling always looks stunning.
Lawrence and Scarlett sat in the corner, tightly holding each other’s hands.
|||
O 2/3 Abigail took a seat and crossed her legs, exuding the aura of a mafia boss. Her outfit emanated a relaxed vibe, and her unfazed expression accentuated her ethereal beauty.
“Look at her! She looks so gorgeous! Can you see how comfortable she is on stage?” Scarlett kicked her feet in excitement, showing off to her husband.
He replied, “When I think about how she got to this point, I feel guilty.” The event hadn’t even started, yet their moods were fluctuating dramatically, as if they were riding a roller coaster.
The lights dimmed as the launch began. Then, the screen displayed a demonstration video of the application.
A virtual avatar of a beautiful girl, bouncing on her feet, appeared. She turned to the audience with wide eyes, as if surprised to see a crowd. She tilted her head, observing the people before her.
Once she finished, she waved at them with a smile. “Good afternoon, I’m Eve, the one who lived in the Garden of Eden. I can now communicate with you as a virtual avatar. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” In the Bible, Eve was the first woman. God created her from one of Adam’s ribs after creating Adam from dust.
This was the origin of life, the first man and woman in the Bible. The story was known. throughout the world.
“I am the spokesperson for Fairy Meadow. Alana and Luna from L.Moon created me. I reside. in an application called ‘Loveme.’ It may sound silly, but it holds meaning. Before loving others, everyone should love themselves.”
I Want a Divorce Chapter 526-Let A Woman Do The Job Eve presented the application L.Moon, Fairy Meadow, and Leap had collaborated on. She introduced the basic functions of the application on the screen.
“Well, I’m just the spokesperson of Fairy Meadow. After downloading the application, everyone can create their own virtual avatar and make it their spokesperson. Loveme supports Al technology, so your avatar can learn more about you step by step.” Next, she introduced the realistic skin of the avatar and the function of trying on clothes. Most importantly, when the user wasn’t using the application, the avatar
would go shopping on its own and try on shirts according to the user’s preference.
The clothes would automatically disappear after three days.
The virtual avatars lived their own lives. When users were away, they could read about their avatar’s experiences in the diary.
As Eve finished the introduction, she waved goodbye to the audience. “That’s all I want to tell you. I’m going back to gaming. By the way, there’s a new game I’m crazy about lately…” She was referring to a dress-up game Leap and Abigail had created together last year.
The audience in the live room found her timing for advertising amusing.
“That’s impressive. Only Leap would have the courage to collaborate with a fashion brand. Eve is cute too! I’m so fond of her! She’s basically the daughter of Alana and Luna. Help! How could I not ship them?” “They’ll always be the OTP of all times. By the way, the application sounds interesting. I’m already hooked after watching the video. It’s supposed to be a shopping application, but it’s too perfect!” ‘Eve. That’s a good name. Eve is the first woman ever created by God. This is the origin of humankind. Even though she’s not real, I’m touched by their efforts.
As the video ended, the technical director of Leap took the microphone to speak. “The application aims to serve users who have trouble buying clothes online. The avatar is fully customizable. You can even fill in information about your body hair. The body data is quite specific.” The man ended his speech enthusiastically. “Of course, if any shoe brand is willing to cooperate with us in the future, we’ll introduce a new function where the avatar can try on shoes.” His words were mind-blowing.
|||
O 1/3 After him, Howard, the representative of Fairy Meadow, spoke up. “Fairy Meadow will be the first fashion brand to work with Loveme. Our goal is to serve our consumers and help them find the most suitable outfits under our brand.
From today on, every user who orders goods. on Loveme will enjoy a 20%
discount on every purchase. The offer lasts for six months!” The audience applauded.
Next, L.Moon demonstrated the usage of the application.
Abigail rose to her feet and bashfully unlocked her phone. Then, she shared her phone screen by connecting it to the projector. Her virtual avatar appeared on the screen.
It was only wearing a white shirt and shorts. She turned to the audience and explained, “I created the avatar based on my real-life appearance. She shares the same body data as me. When users create their virtual avatar, they can choose whether to wear makeup or not. And, they can upload their own makeup.” She pressed on her phone and showed them her looks with and without makeup.
The audience began to discuss among themselves. The live stream was also filled with comments.
‘My crush looks so great without makeup! Can I have her virtual avatar instead?’ ‘Dream on! You should be creating your own avatar! By the way, I’m interested in the application already. That way, I can try on clothes with my virtual avatar. I no longer need to return the goods if I find that the outfits don’t fit me.’ ‘L.Moon is leading Fairy Meadow onto a good path. It’s good to see them finally striving. Let’s be honest. Fairy Meadow had been doing a poor job all these years. Aren’t you ashamed of letting a woman do all the work?’ Comments continued to appear on the screen. Meanwhile, Abigail changed into a new outfit. for her avatar and showed it to the audience. “Everyone can see me wearing the same outfit in real life, can’t you? Rest assured, your avatar is available only on your phone. It won’t be uploaded online. So, everyone doesn’t need to worry about the leakage of your body data.” She showed them her avatar in some other outfits next. It earned the audience’s awe every time.
“L.Moon is a women’s label. We are devoted to exploring the beauty in women’s clothing. Our goal is to give female users a pleasant experience when it comes to shopping for clothes. Of course, Leap is working on launching a men’s label as well.” Her words earned a round of thunderous applause. Luna subtly gave her a thumbs-up when she returned to her seat.

O 2/3 The product launch was successful. At the end of the launch, a number of highluxury brands reached out to Kirby to discuss business. Some luxury shoe brands joined the discussion, eager to be the first to start a cooperation focusing on shoes.
The launch of the application was trending on Twitter.
However, a fight broke out in the comment section as menswear wasn’t available at the moment. Male consumers were displeased.
Why do men have to wait? Is Leap inferior to L.Moon or what? I want to create my virtual avatar as well. Do you think men don’t wear anything in life?” Do you even know L.Moon’s main focus is womenswear? Be patient. They’re launching menswear too. It’s just a matter of time. Can’t you just wait?” “What’s the rush? You can pretend the virtual avatar is your girlfriend and dress her up. Besides, L.Moon sought Leap to bring the idea to life. If it wasn’t for them, there wouldn’t be such an application. There are already many luxury menswear brands. It’s their fault for not coming up with the idea in the first place.
The fight intensified. The topic remained trending on Twitter. Tens of thousands of comments flooded the comment section in less than an hour.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 527-Everything Was Fake LOL. While everyone was arguing about not being able to create a male avatar, I had already. downloaded the application and created a virtual avatar for myself” Tve selected the outfits and paid for them. Who cares if they don’t fit me? I’ve been eyeing some of the ones that are now selling at low prices. I usually buy from a thrift shop, but now I can afford a branded outfit Many users didn’t even bother creating their avatars. They rushed to order the goods simply because they wanted to buy the outfits at the cheapest price as soon as possible.
After the technical director of Leap finished talking to someone, Abigail stopped him in his tracks.
“I need your help to watch a video and analyze it, she whispered.
“Sure,” the man agreed immediately.
She took him to a secluded corner where they wouldn’t be disturbed. Then, she took out her phone and showed him the video.
The man was surprised to see Sean in the video. A few moments later, he looked troubled frown. “Where did you get this video, Miss Quinn?” “I’ll only tell you if you promise to keep it a secret. Her voice was barely audible.
up with a He nodded. “You can tell me. After all, I wouldn’t dare to talk about Mr. Graham behind his back.” “I recorded this video during a video call. Did you notice anything strange?” Abigail had started to suspect something after Luna showed her the photo.
Now that I think about it, something seems off.
Furthermore, Luna was covered in bruises when she returned to the country.
She told Abigail that she had no idea where she was and that her mind was a mess. However, she also revealed that Sean showed up and rescued her.
She refused to share any more details.
We’re talking about Sean. A man like him wouldn’t just show up at a place like that.
“It’s a digital avatar. He’s using the keyboard, but you can’t see that. It’s already telling you something. Besides, his tone sounds strange when he talks to you.
Did you notice that?” The director kept his voice low as well.
|||
1/3 Her hand trembled. She had indeed noticed something, which was why she found it strange.
“So, I wasn’t talking to anyone at all, right?” she mumbled. I’ve been talking to a virtual avatar all this time.
The man stared at her. He didn’t have an explanation as to why Sean would use a digital avatar to deceive her.
“Yes. It involves some setup, so it isn’t easy to distinguish.” As someone approached them, he put on a smile and changed the subject. “We are currently developing the male virtual avatar. Now we need to wait for the menswear labels to approach us.” Abigail put her phone away and thanked him.
After that, she left the conference hall.
She got into the car and browsed Sean’s pictures in her photo gallery, lost in thought.
If everything was fake, where did he go?
Luna returned to the car half an hour later.
She couldn’t help but speak up when she found Abigail daydreaming in the car.
“Hello? Earth to Abigail!” Abigail snapped out of her trance and turned to Luna sharply. Her next question caught Luna off guard. “Luna, do you remember any other details about the place where they kept you?” “W-Why do you ask?” Luna was reluctant to relive those horrible memories.
Waking up in a strange place and enduring all those inhumane tortures was a nightmare for her.
When her life returned to normal, the nightmares faded away as she left the bad memories behind.
“I asked around. The Sean who has been talking to me is fake,” said Abigail.
When she saw how realistic Eve was and how Eve interacted with the audience like a real person, the possibility that the Sean she always video-called was fake struck her.
Her words hit Luna hard. She stared at her friend with wide eyes for a moment.
Slowly, she curled up and hugged her knees, whispering, “That was a terrible place. I woke up to find. them cutting my abdomen open just because I lied to them about being pregnant with Josh’s child.” |||
O 2/3 “After they confirmed that I wasn’t pregnant, they stitched me up. When I woke up from anesthesia, I found myself hanging from the ceiling. There were wild animals everywhere. I saw a bear, lion, python, shark, and crocodile. All I remember is struggling, otherwise one of them would have eaten me alive. It was terrifying.” “After that, Sean showed up. He was willing to trade places with me. After I left, Xavien was waiting for me. Once he sent me away, he rushed inside to save Sean. Then, I was free.” Luna was overjoyed to see Xavien that she passed out on the spot. When she woke up again, she found herself on the plane returning to the country.
Abigail took a deep breath and asked, “Why can’t he just tell me where he is?
Why is he using a virtual avatar to deceive me?” Luna met Abigail’s gaze as she pondered. Finally, she said, “Maybe he’s injured?” “The last time we had a video call, he was lying on the ground. There was a serious cut on his left brow, and his face was covered in blood. I thought he was fine…” Abigail answered in at shaky voice.
Now that I think about it, he must be badly wounded.
Before Luna could continue, someone knocked on the window.
Abigail looked over and saw Josh, Lawrence, and Scarlett.
She wasn’t in the mood to talk to Lawrence and Scarlett.
“Tell Josh I have to go.” She waited for Luna to get out of the car before telling the driver to drive away.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 528-Roasting The Rumor-spreader As Luna stepped out of the car, the driver quickly started the engine and drove away.
Josh was initially confused, but then his expression fell, clearly showing disappointment.
“She had some urgent matters to attend to, so she had to leave,” Luna explained to Lawrence and Scarlett with a pale face.
Scarlett’s eyes welled up with tears. She sobbed, “Abigail still despises us. She detests us.”
Luna remained silent. She didn’t have the authority to speak on behalf of Abigail, and she didn’t feel like discussing this matter with them.
After all, the damage had already been done. If Abigail hadn’t fought with all her might, L.Moon would have collapsed.
It was too late for redemption.
Lawrence averted his gaze and turned to Luna. “You don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell?” “I’m fine.” She shook her head. It was just that she couldn’t help but shiver as her nightmare materialized before her once again.
“Let’s get in the car. You might catch a cold in that attire. Josh put his arm around her shoulder and expressed his concern.
She leaned against his chest and whispered, “Josh, can you hold me for a while? I-I’m scared…” Lawrence and Scarlett knew that she had been through a lot. If it weren’t for Sean, she wouldn’t have made it back.
“It’s okay. I’m here. We’re here.” He immediately wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
Her hands were cold. The goosebumps on her arms were a clear indication of how frightened she was.
She didn’t want to recall the dreadful experience. She also felt guilty for putting Sean’s life at risk. What if he’s dead because of me? I don’t want Abigail to only remember him through his virtual avatar.
They haven’t resolved their misunderstandings. They need to realize how deeply they love each other.
Abigail had returned to L.Moon. Just as she was about to message Cameron, Twitter notified her of a trending topic.
SeanGrahamRumoredToBeDeadInGoldenTriangle She immediately tapped on the notification.
The article provided detailed information and even included a video. An Eswadian individual with some influence in the Golden Triangle had posted about Sean entering an underground casino alone to rescue an Eswadian woman.
Due to a gang of thugs attacking the casino with indiscriminate bombings on the same day, Sean and his subordinate, Xavien, were implicated. After being shot multiple times, the two fled to a local hospital. The 1/3 |||

hospital staff attempted to save Sean, but unfortunately, he passed away during the process. His body was secretly sent back to the country. Since then, there had been no news about him for a month.
Abigail watched the video after finishing the article.
The video showed shaky footage, with gunshots occasionally heard. A few modified SUVs chased a black. Hummer, exchanging gunfire. What shocked her was the sight of Sean poking his head out of the window. The image is clear. It’s him!
The subsequent footage of the hospital entrance was slightly blurred, but she knew it was him.
She still remembered the color of the soil beneath his body. When he called her while lying on the ground, she saw yellow soil.
After watching the video, she called Cameron. He answered immediately.
“Where’s Sean?” She got straight to the point.
“He’s speaking with a client. You’ll have to wait until he’s done to talk to him.” Cameron grinned at her. He sounded relaxed, and his tone didn’t reveal anything unusual.
She pursed her lips in annoyance and gritted her teeth. Do you think I’m a fool?
We just launched an application that allows users to create their digital avatars.
Why can’t Sean talk to me normally? Why he always use a digital avatar when we communicate?” does Cameron didn’t expect her to uncover the truth. The smile vanished from his face as he answered with at serious expression, “Mr. Graham is doing fine. He just needs to maintain a low profile for now. I saw the video about the rumor of his death. The incident did happen, but he survived. I can’t believe some people are making such a big deal out of it.” “If you want to lie, Cameron, keep lying for the rest of your life. She refused to believe him.
If he’s okay, why is he communicating with me through a digital avatar? It doesn’t make sense.
“Ms. Quinn, you can trust me. He’s doing fine. He just needs some time,” Cameron said helplessly.
She tightly gripped her phone. After a few moments, she replied, “Fine. I believe you. I’m just relieved that he’s okay.” “He’s okay, really. The trip to the Golden Triangle involved many influential figures. He can’t make any announcements because of that,” he explained.
After humming in response, she ended the call.
She logged into her Twitter account and retweeted the original post with her comments.
‘If he’s dead, where’s the body? The video has everything except the body.
What’s wrong with you? What do you gain from spreading such a rumor? Are you that desperate for attention? Is that how your parents. raised you?
Spreading rumors about Sean’s death? Just wait until Graham International sues you She harshly criticized the poster, and they immediately deleted the post in shame.
However, the rumors didn’t stop.
The discussion finally died down when Graham International’s public relations department warned the posters to stop spreading rumors, threatening to sue them.
Nevertheless, some busybodies pointed out that Sean hadn’t been seen in the office for almost two months. Moreover, he declined meetings held in public places.
These theories greatly impacted the company’s stock price, causing it to plummet.
I Want a Divorce Chapter 529-The Sudden Visit Upon arriving at L.Moon and seeing Abigail still seated at her desk, buried under a pile of documents, Luna approached her cautiously, scanning the surroundings.
“If you’re free, could you help me with these documents?” Abigail suddenly looked up and asked.
Luna straightened up and stared at her, holding back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
“Get straight to the point,” Abigail closed the document file, leaned back in a boss-like posture, and looked at Luna with her chin raised.
“You’ve already dealt with the online backlash regarding Sean’s affairs, so why are you still working on these matters?” In other words, Abigail should be focusing on Sean’s affairs instead of these tasks.
“I can only offer minimal support in condemning the public. The rest is up to him.
Whether he lives or dies, it’s none of my concern,” she replied before picking up another document to read.- Why should I bother when Cameron is working so hard to keep it from me?
Furthermore, he is Sean’s confidant and one of the people Sean trusts the most.
It’s clear that everything he does is under Sean’s instruction.
“But I want to know. After all, I was the foolish one who insisted on getting involved in Kelly’s affairs-” Calmly, Abigail interrupted, “Luna, you’re not foolish. The things you did were for my sake. If someone needs to be held accountable, it should be me.” “Friends help each other. Anyway, I’m here to work now. If you don’t want to work, that’s fine.” Luna took a seat next to her, grabbed a document file, and started reading.
Although Abigail appeared to be leisurely reading the document, she was actually contemplating the decline in Graham International’s stock price.
Sean could easily turn the situation around by appearing in public at such a critical moment.
Yet, he does nothing.
Luna and Abigail busied themselves with work until it was time to leave.
As the sun began to set, Luna put down the company seal, turned to Abigail, and suggested, “Josh has invited us to join him for dinner. How about you come with me?” “No, thank you. I don’t want to see anyone from the Pearsons for the time being,” Abigail replied flatly.
Indeed, I currently intend to make Josh suffer the consequences.
After all, none of this would have happened if Kelly, whom the Pearsons had taken in, hadn’t caused all these troubles.
Besides, I know very well what Josh’s parents’ motives are in trying so hard to get close to me now, but I don’t want to pay attention to them.
So, now that Kelly is gone, they suddenly remember my existence?
What do they take me for? A substitute for their lost daughter?
1/3 O <
“Oh,” Luna responded. She then picked up her phone and texted Josh at a leisurely pace.
Abigail stood up, grabbed her coat from the side, and explained, “I’m not saying that I hate Josh. I’m just tired of his parents’ current behavior.” “I understand,” Luna said.
With that, Abigail hummed, put on her coat, and left without looking back.
However, instead of asking the driver, to take her to the restaurant, she hailed a cab today.
Cameron was pacing around the first-floor living room when he heard a clicking sound coming from the front door. Confused, he walked over and peered out.
Abigail, walking towards him, startled him. “Damn!” Abigail was dressed in a deep V-neck sleeveless top, covered by a blazer. She wore suit pants and high heels on the lower half of her body.
Dressed entirely in black, with her short gray hair, she exuded a chic and sassy aura that intimidated Cameron.
Smirking sarcastically, Abigail crossed her arms and asked, “You said you were doing business in Naflington today? Mr. Hopkins, does this place look like Naflington to you?” Cameron scratched his head and backed away upon hearing that. “Please don’t do this to me, Ms. Quinn. I’m scared.” Abigail ignored him and walked towards the stairs.
Although she was here now, Cameron felt powerless and didn’t have the nerve to stop her.
Thus, he could only watch helplessly as she made her way steadily towards the second floor.
Forgive me, Mr. Graham, for I can’t stop Ms. Quinn. She is the boss since Old Mr. Graham and Old Mrs. Quinn have gone out to buy groceries.
Abigail reached Sean’s room. She stood silently for a moment. Eventually, she reached out and grasped the doorknob.
However, she didn’t open it right away. Instead, she stood by the door, looked down, and remained silent for a long time before turning it slightly.
The soft click of the door opening was particularly piercing in the quiet villa.
Upon opening the door, Abigail was greeted by the sight of Sean sleeping in a room adorned with plants. and flowers, resembling a woodland elf’s home.
Sean lay in a black quilt, wearing an oxygen mask, while a machine next to his bed emitted a beeping sound.
Expressionless, Abigail entered the room.
Meanwhile, Cameron followed her silently, his attention fixated on her expression.
|||
2/3 Noticing that she appeared calm rather than sad, he thought to himself, Ms.
Quinn, how can you be so cold- hearted?
Abigail sat beside the bed and calmly observed Sean. He has lost a lot of weight, and his skin is so pale that it’s almost translucent. But looking at the room’s decor and his condition, I can’t deny that he still possesses a certain charm, even in his illness.
“I thought you were all-powerful,” she murmured. Then, she turned to Cameron and requested, “Show me his medical records.” “They are confidential…” Cameron hesitated, fear tingling in his scalp.
Ms. Quinn has changed so much. The commanding aura she exudes now even intimidates me a little.
“Fine. Then, leave and stop staring at me,” Abigail said indifferently.
Cameron accepted the order, exited the room, and gently shut the door.
After he departed, Abigail reached out and tightly held Sean’s wrist. “You’ve lost a significant amount of weight. You’re practically skin and bones.” The protruding hamate bone on his wrist is even more prominent now.
Evidently, he has been lying here for an extended period, and due to insufficient nutritional intake to support his recovery, he is gradually losing weight
I Want a Divorce Chapter 530-I Was Waiting For You To Come Abigail held his hand for a moment. Just as she was about to let go, Sean gently tightened his grip and held 1. His hand, which had been loosely holding hers, wasn’t feverish.Subconsciously, Abigail looked at Sean and noticed that he was looking back at her. His eyes, which weren’t as bright as before, seemed fragile.His mouth moved under the oxygen mask.Seeing this, Abigail quickly approached him and asked, “What is it?” “I… was waiting for you to come,” he whispered softly.In reality, he had regained consciousness on the day Analise arrived. However, it was difficult for him to stay awake. Moreover, his body was unable to provide him with enough energy. Therefore, he could only listen to them when he was awake and communicate by moving his eyelids in response.He knew that his body was severely injured and that he needed rest to regain his strength.So, he rested as much as possible, saving his energy to see Abigail when she finally arrived.Abigail turned her head and looked at him.Since Sean couldn’t move his body, he could only glance sideways.Abigail sat up straight, held his hand, and silently looked at him.Sean seemed to smile a little before closing his eyes and falling asleep again.At the same time, he gradually loosened his grip.Abigail withdrew her hand and tucked him in properly. Then, she got up and went outside.“Sean woke up, but he fell asleep again after saying a few words to me just now.Instead of constantly giving him liquid nutritional supplements, you should try giving him some solid food to replenish his health, Abigail suggested. She believed that Sean’s slow recovery was due to the lack of proper food.After all, liquid nutritional supplements were only meant for emergency situations. To truly recover from injuries, one needed proper food.Cameron looked surprised and couldn’t help but say, “Ms. Quinn, you are indeed Mr. Graham’s life-saving antidote.” Upon hearing his words, Abigail rolled her eyes and added, “Is it possible that he has been conscious for a while but didn’t have the strength to open his eyes and speak?” “I’ll call the family doctor right away. He has the final say on whether Mr.Graham can have solid food or not,” Cameron said, his face filled with happiness.Abigail went downstairs.After Cameron made the call, Analise and Colby entered through the door, followed by their bodyguards. carrying bags of groceries.|||<1/3 Once the two stepped into the living room and saw Abigail, guilt appeared on their faces.“Abigail, why are you here?” Analise asked, feeling extremely awkward.“I’m here to visit Sean,” Abigail replied naturally.Colby nodded and asked, “Have you had dinner?” “No, I haven’t. That’s why I’m here, to have dinner,” Abigail replied with a smile, not showing any anger.“I’ll go and make us dinner then!” Analise said, too embarrassed to face Abigail. Will Abigail get mad at me for not telling her about Sean’s condition?“He woke up a little while ago, so maybe you can try giving him some nutritious food to replenish his health. He looks very weak,” Abigail advised Analise.“He’s awake?!” Analise looked surprised. Even though the doctor had told them before that Sean was aware of his surroundings, they were still worried as he never opened his eyes.Upon hearing Abigail’s words, Colby immediately grabbed Analise’s hand and prepared to go upstairs to take a look.“He probably won’t wake up again if you go in now. He’s very weak and barely has the strength to open his eyes and look at you,” Abigail said.Hearing this, Colby hummed and let go of Analise’s hand. Then, he excitedly rubbed his hands together. “Well, it’s a relief that he’s awake. It means he’s out of critical condition. And I can’t believe he’s still thinking about you, even in such a fragile state. Look at him trying his hardest to open his eyes the moment you’re here to visit him.” Abigail awkwardly coughed before explaining, “I think he’s just hungry…” “I’ll до and prepare delicious food to replenish his health!” Analise’s face beamed with joy.Soon, the doctor arrived. After examining Sean’s body, he commented, “Previously, I prohibited you from giving him solid food because he had severe internal injuries, and any food intake would put great pressure on his organs.But now, you can try a liquid diet that is nutritious and easy to digest.” “What exactly happened to his organs?” Abigail asked the doctor. Since Cameron refused to show her Sean’s medical records earlier, she decided to ask the doctor herself.“His body suffered a heavy blow, causing his organs to rupture. They haven’t fully healed yet,” the doctor explained while checking Sean’s heartbeat.Although his heartbeat was still weak, his condition looked good. It was already great news that he had woken up.As long as he rested and allowed his injuries to heal, he would eventually recover.Once the doctor left, Abigail glanced at Cameron.“I really don’t know what happened at that time. The one who knows best is Xavien, but he has returned to the company to handle business affairs,” Cameron said, raising his hands in surrender.As Sean’s special assistant, Xavien was well-informed about the company’s affairs and could handle them on Sean’s behalf.He had spent nearly two months bedridden with his injury. By the time he had considerably recovered, Colby eagerly passed everything back to him and immediately returned to playing poker.Cameron felt sorry for Xavien.“I’ll find Xavien and ask him about this matter,” Abigail said, turning around and leaving immediately.Cameron followed her step by step. “I can be your driver. I have many of Mr.Graham’s car keys. You can choose whichever car you prefer.” “No, it’s fine. Stay here and take care of him. Just give me the key,” Abigail said calmly.“Alright then.” Cameron stuttered, reaching into his bag, taking out a Maserati key, and handing it to Abigail.
