Chapter 309
I Want a Divorce
hapter 309 The Cat Is Out of the Bag
Less than a week pa*sed when Josh called Abigail. He had wanted to meet her in person, but she had
declined.
âIâll transfer the money to your account. It was done by the housemaid, who was bought off by my
Uncle Vincent. She deliberately sent you those figures to disgust you. But Kelly genuinely wanted to
order a dress from you. She called you after she heard from the maid that Iâve paid for her. She might
not be good with words and may have unintentionally offended you, but she was not doing it on
purpose.â
After he explained everything, she didnât respond.
When he was met with her silence, he continued, âKelly just returned, and my Uncle Vincent is still
unwilling to accept her due to the marriage between the Pearsons and the Davidsons. He always
believed that if Kelly didnât return, his daughter could marry into the Davidson Family. Thatâs why he did
so much behind the scenes. Itâs indeed the Pearsonsâ fault and also my fault. I shouldnât have solely
relied on my instincts by coming to you and creating so much trouble for
you.â
Frankly, she didnât know what to say. She always held a skeptical attitude toward Kelly and believed
that Vincent paying such a price to deal with her might not be worth it.
âDonât worry. Once the marriage between Eric and the Pearsons is settled, no one will bother
anymore,â Josh continued.
âOkay,â she replied briefly, then hung up the phone.
you
Even though she had doubts regarding what the Pearsons and Kelly had been doing during this period,
she didnât feel it was appropriate to interject as an outsider.
In the blink of an eye, half of August had already pa*sed.
Early in the morning. Abigailâs phone was ringing off the hook. It was a call from a clothing brand.
partner.
As soon as she answered the call, the director from Lyshe began shouting, âAlana, if you canât deliver
what you promised, just let us know in advance! Our company has been cooperating with L.Moon for
over a year. Whatâs with the plagiarism? Do you know how important it was for us yesterday? If you
canât design, you shouldnât be in this field! Why are you out here causing harm?â
Last night, Lyshe held a winter product launch event, and she even attended the livestream. Little did
she know that something like this would happen overnight.
The first thing that came to her mind was the incident of Micah stealing her designs. Okay, itâs time to
fight.
Abigail inhaled deeply before saying apologetically, âIâm sorry, our studioâs design was stolen. It was an
oversight on L.Moonâs part. Give me three days, and Iâll provide you with a new set of designs. Just
three days. I promise, not only will I give you new designs, but Iâll also bring some extra publicity to your
studio.â
âAt this point, everyone is holding product launches. The faster you are, the more benefits you. reap.
Do you realize how much harm youâve caused? Collaborating with you is nothing but bad. luck!â The
director of Lyshe continued to vent his anger.
âI didnât notify you in advance because the incident had already occurred. I also thought it would be
better to create some buzz together and turn it into a win-win situation,â Abigail patiently explained.
âYour explanation wonât persuade my bosses. You didnât inform us of this incident in advance and are
only telling me now that this is all part of your grand plan. Is this how you work with your partners?â
Lysheâs directorâs fury slowly subsided, but he still had some criticisms to make.
After all, he had already reprimanded their partner, putting himself in a vulnerable position. If he didnât
put the blame entirely on L.Moon, and if Abigail managed to turn things around, Lyshe might face a
disadvantage in their contract renewal with L.Moon.
âIâm truly sorry,â Abigail apologized yet again.
The director of Lyshe was clearly still displeased as he muttered a few more words before. hanging up
the phone.
Once Abigail arrived at the company, she started calling each of their partners one by one. By the time
she was done, it had already been two hours since the situation erupted like a volcano.
Alas, she still couldnât stop some partners from posting on Instagram, accusing her of plagiarism. After
all, Alana was the hottest topic. Regardless of any misunderstandings behind the scenes, accusing her
of plagiarism would generate more traffic.
The moment she hung up the phone, Sean called.
At this point, she was so done that she was currently slumped in her chair as she pressed the answer
button. âWhat is it?â
Sean noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse and asked, âDid you catch a cold? What happened to your
voice?â
âYour call canât be just about that, right?â She just wanted to end the conversation as her throat was
already starting to burn.
âCoolVogue has posted an article on Instagram accusing you of plagiarism and even provided.
evidence. The buzz is gradually building up. Do you want to address this?â he asked. Truthfully, he had
been waiting for her to respond ever since he saw CoolVogueâs Instagram post.
Two hours had pa*sed, but L.Moon had yet to make a move. Public relations were best handled within
two hours, and he believed that she should be aware of this. Yet, L.Moon hadnât done anything. So, he
was worried that something might have happened to Abigail.
âI canât handle that for now. I called the company and explained the situation, but they still insisted on
accusing me of plagiarism. Thereâs nothing I can do about it,â she replied calmly.
She didnât have the time to deal with this online issue right now. She had dozens upon dozens of brand
design drafts that needed revisions. Honestly, she simply didnât have the energy to pay attention to
what was being said online.
âLet me talk to CoolVogue,â he suddenly proposed.-
