Chapter 489 Waiting for Alana to Fail

Sean seemed entirely oblivious to Kelly’s words.

Most of his thoughts were on Abigail, with just a small portion focused on the commentary about Al

technology on stage.

Meanwhile, Abigail was discussing her ideas with the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology. The CEO

seemed intrigued and took a moment to contemplate her proposition. “So, are you saying that this app

can only be developed by our company?”

“That’s right, which is why I’ve come to you,” Abigail replied with a smile.

“I find your proposal quite intriguing. I’ll discuss it in our meeting. The only question is, how much are

you willing to invest?” The CEO of Leap Gaming Technology asked with a grin.

“I can forgo my share of the fashion profits. If you need additional funding in the future, I’ll contribute.

How does that sound?” Abigail knew that what she was doing might be a bit underhanded, but L. Moon

and Fairy Meadow were in constant need of funds. At the moment, she couldn’t come up with much

money to invest in this app. Besides, the final product hadn’t even been developed yet. So, how could

she be sure it would meet her expectations? If things didn’t go well in the future, she’d have already

handed over her money, leaving her no room to maneuver.

“That works.” The CEO of Leap Gaming Technology understood Abigail’s position. After all, L. Moon

had faced quite a bit of adversity from last year until now. Although ordinary people outside the industry

might not be aware of it, those within the circle knew about it from word of mouth..

After the exchange event concluded, the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology left with their technical

director.

Abigail was ready to leave, and Sean followed suit.

“When did you become so acquainted with the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology?” Sean walked

beside her.

Abigail stopped, turned to face Sean, and said, “Please mind your own business and stop sticking your

nose into other people’s business.”

With that, she rolled her eyes and walked away.

Sean didn’t press for more information, as there would be plenty of time for that in the future.

This

eye roll of Abigail’s was caught on camera and ended up trending online.

‘#AlanasEyeRollIsSoCaptivating’ trended because of Sean and her being in the same frame.

“This pairing… Is Sean out of his mind to be engaged to Kelly? Is the CEO’s ultimate choice always a

delicate woman? As a shipper of two dominant partners… I really can’t stand it!”

‘Bosses always seem to enjoy controlling women. Just look at Alana; their personalities clash. Alana’s

right to roll her eyes at him. Those fickle philanderers like him are not my type!”

‘But… They do look good together. Their presence is so strong! Are they shooting a blockbuster film at

the entrance of the tech exhibition? Why didn’t Sean go into the entertainment industry and take on

CEO roles? The current actors playing CEOs are just too awkward! I had to become a fan of those

outside the entertainment circle instead.

I’ve always thought they were the perfect couple! Who’s Kelly anyway? I don’t really care for delicate

women!’

‘Is this Luna’s new way of whitewashing? Even though Kelly might look like a delicate woman, she’s

still a victim. Alana’s fans are going too far. Luna isn’t a good person, so how good can Alana be? I’m

just waiting for her to fail!”

Of course, the Pearsons saw this trending topic and immediately seized the opportunity to join in.

While Sean was outside discussing investment matters with several CEOs, Lawrence personally called

him.

Sean pressed the answer button and went into the restroom. “What’s the matter?”

“Could you please maintain some distance from Abigail? Since you’ve traded marriage for L. Moon’s

development, don’t embarra*s Kelly by getting close to Abigail in public!” Lawrence called personally

because Sean and Abigail had once been married.

Their complex relationship made him even more uneasy.

If it weren’t for the fact that Kelly liked Sean a great deal, he would have been one hundred percent

against it.

“When we entered into this engagement, no one said I couldn’t talk to my ex-wife,” Sean said, his tone

casual and indifferent.

Lawrence lowered his voice as he continued, “Sean, consider this my warning. If you continue down

this path, I won’t deal with you. After all, you’ll be my son-in-law. But I’m not so sure I won’t deal with

Abigail.”

Sean’s smile faded, and his gaze turned icy.

He ran his fingers through his hair and calmly said, “If you have any issue with me, come at

III

1. If you dare lay a hand on Abigail, I’ll personally make sure Kelly gets ruined. Do you believe me I

can follow through with my threat?”

Lawrence let out a cold chuckle. “Is this affection of yours genuine? But that’s just how your are, Sean.

When you were still married to Abigail, you had an entangled relationship with Joan. Now that you’re

about to be engaged to my daughter, you’re once again entangled with your ex-wife. Kelly has to be

blind to choose you.”

“Well, Kelly thinks too highly of herself and thinks she can match me. Otherwise, I couldn’t be bothered

to even look at her,” Sean replied, his tone flat.

Lawrence was infuriated by Sean’s words.

“Sean, it would be best for you not to embarra*s Kelly. After all, we had an agreement. If your continue

to get close to Abigail without regard for the public situation, the media might. capture you two, which

will cause embarra*sment to Kelly. If that happens, I’ll ensure Abigail’s business takes a hit!”

With that, he hung up the phone.

Sean returned from the restroom, his expression displeased.

He sat back in his seat, took out his phone, and sent a message.

“When will we finally get this sorted out? Dealing with this annoying woman every day makes me

unable to even get a decent night’s sleep.

‘Hang in there, buddy. If things get too tough, why not go on a business trip and lay low?”

‘My wife is still in Capitalis. Can I really go on a business trip? What if something happens? Are you

gonna take responsibility?”

As Sean sent the messages, his face was clearly showing his frustration.

‘Well then, let me help you find some photos of your wife. You hide in your room every day, gazing at

her photos. Oh, you don’t have a wife, do you?”

Sean couldn’t be bothered to reply. Besides, he could search for those photos himself.
