Chapter 428
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 428 Kellyâs Identity âAre you really planning to date Howard?â Abigail could not help but think of what Sean had said. She still could not understand how Josh ended up liking Luna.
âOf course. Weâre still in the ambiguous stage. Speaking of which, Iâll be meeting him for dinner later. Is there anything youâd like to eat? Iâll bring it back for you.â Luna said with excitement.
Women sure behaved differently when they were in love. Even their words carried a certain playful tone.
âGrandma is going to cook for me. You enjoy your meal. Donât worry about me.â The design drawings were all Abigail could think about right now.
The ladies chatted on and off, and as the end of the workday approached, the assistant informed her that Josh had arrived.
Luna immediately said, âWe wonât see him. Tell him to leave!â
How audacious of Josh to show up after Kelly instigated Lina to cause trouble for Abigail!
The assistant looked at Abigail, and the latter gazed calmly at her. âDonât you understand what Miss Smith said:â
âAlright.â The assistant quickly turned and called the front desk to inform them.
Luna clicked her tongue. âSpeaking of which, canât we find any evidence against Kelly this time? As long as we prove that she intentionally incited Old Mrs. Graham, the Pearson Familyâs impression of her should take a hit.
âSheâs quite confident in front of Sean, so it might be challenging to find any evidence against her,â Abigail replied plainly.
âThis woman is cautious, but no matter what, he that toucheth pitch shall be defiled, Luna said, not believing that Kelly could be flawless every time without leaving any clues.
Abigailâs pencil paused for a moment, then she continued, âSay, who do you think Kelly really is? Assuming her identity is the issue, it should be relatively easy to uncover, even if Vincent is covering it up behind the scenes. But, strangely, even Ronaldo canât find any clues.
Kelly seemed unusually clever. If she was just an ordinary girl who got lost, she should not be this crafty.
âNow that you mention it, she does look suspicious. Even if ordinary girls play mind games, she shouldnât be this good at it, right? If youâve noticed somethingâs off about her identity, wouldnât Sean have noticed too? If heâs also investigating and hasnât found anything, then Kelly is truly intriguing. Luna furrowed her brows, expressing disbelief.
âItâs indeed puzzling, so maybe weâre a bit too inexperienced in dealing with her,â Abigail concluded with a gentle sigh.
Luna was just about to speak when the office door was pushed open Josh stood in the doorway, looking at the two without saying a word âWhat is the meaning of this? Lua unaediately stood up.
âLetâs talkâ Josh walked into the room The assistant quickly closed the door.
Abigail set down her pencil and looked at him.
âWhat is there to talk about with you?â Luna said, checking her phone for the time. There were five minutes left until the end of the workday, and this dude seemed to have a knack for timing.
âLuna, my sister is my sister, and I am me. Donât mix us up,â he said with a stern expression.
She quirked a brow and said with a smile, âYouâre right Given that your sister has been missing for years, itâs normal that sheâd end up rotten.â
Her words had ignited a fire in Josh. His sisterâs disappearance had been a sorrow that the Pearson Family had never spoken about, yet now, Luna was using such words to taunt him....
âShe didnât choose to be raised that way. Besides, todayâs incident hasnât been concluded. You canât speak about her like that,â
he reasoned, holding back his anger.
She sneered in response. âYou may have a filter for your sister, but I certainly donât. If youâve come here to defend her, you can leave now. Donât make us clock out late.â
âIf Kelly and us get along, thereâs no reason for anyone to speak so harshly. But now the fact is that she would appear everywhere Iâm at, yet you claim that I provoked her. Thatâs not fair, is it?â said Abigail indifferently as she looked at Josh.
He could not argue with this statement.
âIn Pendorf, she insisted on coming to apologize to me, but Old Mr. Graham ended up being the victim, and my grandmother was blamed as the perpetrator. This time, I came to Capitalis, and Old Mrs. Graham inexplicably showed up in my ward, causing a scene. Coincidentally, your mother and she also happened. to be there,â Abigail continued to explain to Josh.
Luna, with a mocking look in her eyes, asked him, âHave you ever thought about how my best friend ends up in trouble wherever your sister is?â
âShe even insists on taking care of me in the hospital. Are we even close? My biggest wish is for you all to stay the hell away from me,â Abigail said, lowering her gaze to continue working on her design.
âIâm off work now. Come out with me, and donât disturb her,â Luna said as she walked toward the door.
Josh looked at Abigail and said, âIâm very sorry about what happened at the hospital today. Iâll investigate and give you an explanation.â
She glanced at him and replied, âThen, I wish you good luck. I hope you can find results that satisfy me.â
While it seemed unlikely, having another person involved in this matter increased the chances of uncovering Kellyâs true identity.
