Chapter 415
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 415 Dirty Trick Looking at Abigail, Sean asked expressionlessly, âIs your company short of cooks?â
âI know what youâre trying to say, but my grandma is different from yours. She used to work in the fields from morning till night in the village. Thatâs the only way she wonât feel bored,â Abigail replied. She thought, He has no idea how happy Grandma is while doing these things.
His expression softened somewhat. âStill, her health needs to be taken into consideration.â
Abigail paid no more attention to Sean and instead turned on her tablet to prepare sketching. designs. Thanks to Eniâs withdrawal, she now had to squeeze in time to design new items. This was her first time collaborating with someone, so she had to do the job herself. After all, Fairy Meadow had agreed to work with L.Moon as its subsidiary, so L.Moon had to protect them.
He sat on the couch while quietly watching her. After a while, he asked, âDid you go to Westcape Village to investigate Kellyâs identity?â
She glanced up at him. âYeah. What were you doing there?â
Sean raised an eyebrow; he didnât expect Abigail to know about it. âItâs not something good,â he replied vaguely.
Uninterested in prying further, she decided to continue with her work. As she completed her tasks, she took a moment to glance up, only to discover that he had drifted into a deep slumber on the couch. She observed him for a while, but he remained undisturbed by her gaze. After a brief moment of contemplation, she shifted her attention away, pondering the thought, Big bosses are always engrossed in their matters... Well, at present, I may be the boss of a small company, but Iâm just as occupied.
Sleep often feels like a luxury I canât quite afford.
At last, Analise came out of her bedroom, and the sound of the door closing awakened Sean. He sat up and looked at her.
With a kindly expression, she addressed him with a simple inquiry. âSean, what brings you here?â
Sean stood up, appearing humble and obedient. âI happened to be in Capitalis for some business. I know that you live here now, so I came to see you.
Abigail noticed that he seemed to have always behaved like this around Analisc. Although he wasnât affectionate toward Analise, he was very polite toward her.
Analise broke into a smile. âI was bored alone in Pendorf, and besides, I hadnât taken a good look at Capitalis, so I came with Abigail.â
Sean nodded.
Im going to the kitchen. Would you mind helping me? Analise said as she headed outside.
1/3 Abigail didnât object to it either.
Once outside the office building, Analise said to Sean, âThe Pearson Family has two daughters-in- law, and they look exactly alike. Do you know about it?â
He did know that the Pearson Family had a second daughter-in-law, but he had never seen what she actually looked like. âI know there are two daughters-in-law, but Iâm not sure if they look identical,â he replied. He had been targeting Vincent all this time, and the focus of his investigation was on Vincentâs affairs.
âI saw the Pearson Familyâs second daughter-in-law today. I think I might have misunderstood what happened back then.â
Analise paused with deep furrows on her brow.
Sean looked at her, saying, âIf you want to look into it, Iâll help you. But can you accept the consequences? Once the truth comes to light, Abigail will have to return to the Pearson Family. In my opinion, the current Pearson Family isnât worth returning to.â
She held his hand. âSean, please help me look into it this time. If... we have to say it, we can be prepared in advance, which is also good for Abigail. And besides, Iâve thought about it. Is it really good for her if we keep hiding the truth from her?
âOkay,â Sean replied with a nod.
âHow is your grandfather?â Analise asked with concern while letting go of his hand.
âDonât worry, Old Mrs. Quinn. Heâs recovering well, he replied in a gentle voice.
She felt relieved upon hearing that.
After their conversation, Sean left with Cameron. At first, this wasnât something Analise should have involved him in, but Colb.
had told him to make sure to visit her once he arrived in Capitalis. He only came over after receiving her consent through a text message.
The next day, even before the joint announcement by Fairy Meadow and L. Moon, a scandal broke out involving Luna. A video of L.Moonâs CEO in bed had gone viral on the internet, revealing almost everything, including intimate moments and WhatsApp voice messages.
Awoken by a call from the public relations department, Abigail promptly listened to their story. Subsequently, she swiftly checked her Twitter feed By that time Twitter was already flooded with new of the scandal.
After watching the video, she quickly left her room without even bothering to freshen up.
2/3 Upon entering Lunaâs office, Abigail saw Luna sitting expressionless in front of the laptop, which filled her with worry. âThe video on the internet is fake, right?â
Luna glanced up at her. âItâs fake, but its impact is there nonetheless.â
Abigail comprehended Lunaâs concern. The underlying intention seemed to be aimed at tarnishing Lunaâs reputation. The worry was that certain netizens might solely perceive this skewed version of the news without considering subsequent clarifications. As a result, the stigma could persist and spread further. Contemplating this consequence, a wave of guilt washed over Abigail.
Luna calmed down. âI know what youâre thinking, but this isnât your fault. You donât have to kick yourself.â
âAnyway, we need to clarify this and find the mastermind,â Abigail said, her voice filled with determination as she approached Luna.
Luna replied, âYou know what? When a woman is successful, 80 percent of the people donât believe she achieved everything through her efforts. Theyâd think she gained everything by sleeping with influential people. Thatâs why they chose to use this method to attack me.â
