chapter 502 Intentional Matchmaking Lawrence was displeased. “I can see that you don’t fancy Kelly at all.”

Sean’s lips were slightly curled into a tiny smirk, but he did not answer.

When Scarlett heard the men’s conversation, she felt somewhat heartbroken.

“I was originally not intending to get married. She herself insisted on it. Since I’m the type who keeps his word, and the Pearson Family has let L.Moon off the hook, I’ll keep my promise and marry into your Pearson Family.” Sean looked indifferent as he said those words.

to Lawrence.

Lawrence did not say anything else, but he stood up and motioned for Scarlett to head upstairs with him.

As night fell, Abigail and several businessmen decided to move their conversation to a more appropriate location.

As soon as Abigail entered Silver Gates with a few bosses and sat down, she noticed Sean and Kelly entering the restaurant.

There was a trace of surprise when she saw this because she didn’t even know when Sean had arrived in Capitalis. However, when Abigail thought of what he had said before, she quickly felt relieved.

He mentioned that he would eventually settle down, and what he was doing now was merely confirmation on his part.

Abigail withdrew her gaze.

Sean had also spotted Abigail and couldn’t help but wonder whether Kelly deliberately chose to dine here just to rub it in Abigail’s face.

“Hey, Abigail’s here. Let’s go over and say hello,” Kelly spoke right then.

He hummed in acknowledgment and approached Abigail without any hesitation.

A few unfamiliar faces were sitting across Abigail, and one of them was the head of Leap Gaming Technology, Mr. Antoine.

When Sean and Kelly walked over, Mr. Antoine felt awkward but still tugged his lips into a plastic smile and greeted them, “Mr.

Graham, you’re also here for a meal? What a coincidence.”

“It’s really a coincidence. I heard that this restaurant is new and has good reviews, so I came here to give it a try,” Sean replied calmly, his gaze subtly looking at Abigail.

“Hello, Abigail,” Kelly greeted her with a smile as if she wanted to assert something.

13 “Oh, hello,” came Abigail’s indifferent reply.

“Sean and I are here for a date, and we didn’t expect to see you here. Enjoy your meal. We won’t disturb you any longer,” Kelly added as she grabbed Sean’s arm.

Sean instinctively furrowed his brow as a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, after which he calmly said, “Let’s go.”

There was nothing in Kelly’s hand which left her momentarily discomfited. Still, she quickly regained her composure, smiled, and followed Sean with a hint of satisfaction in her gait.

After they left, Mr. Antoine muttered, “That Pearson girl seems like a hard person to deal with.”

She had caused trouble for Abigail before at the conference, and now, she was here with Sean, seemingly flaunting her power.

“Why bother about her?” Abigail replied coldly.

The man shrugged and added, “You’re right. She’s in a different league than us.”

Then, the topic of conversation changed, and they began to discuss matters related to the mobile app that they were about to release. She was eager to launch it earlier than expected, but Leap Gaming Technology seemed to have their reservations.

“It might backfire if you’re in such a rush,” was what Mr. Antoine said.

Abigail simply smiled as she drawled, “What if we invest more money into it? The few bosses here are rather interested in your company’s app as well. I’m sure they’re willing to invest in the hopes that we can expedite the process.”

If they could release the mobile app earlier and get Abigail to use it for the first six months, it would coincide with the New Year period, making it an ideal time to launch the product and capitalize on the surge of traffic during the holidays. The result would undoubtedly be very promising.

Mr. Antoine looked at the several unfamiliar investors in front of him and smiled, saying, “It depends on the amount of investment. In the world of development, the more money you. have, the faster things can progress.”

The investors exchanged glances with each other before one of them, with the last name of Huskeh, gave his opinion, saying, “We will provide whatever amount is needed, Mr. Antoine.”

The head of Leap Gaming Technology, whose name was Kirby Antoine, couldn’t resist saying, “You guys should suggest an amount. I can’t bring myself to say it.”

“How about 7 million?” Mr. Huskeh inquired.

O 2/3 Kirby was thrilled as he immediately nodded. “That’s more than enough! When do the app to be ready?”

you need “The maximum is one month, by mid-May. We hope to have the app completely ready before the New Year,” Mr. Huskeh replied.

Since he was investing loads of money into this, it was also natural for him to make more demands.

Abigail continued to smile and didn’t participate in the conversation. After all, she was merely the middlewoman while everyone else at the table was a representative of the well- established fashion brands. They had so much more influence in the fashion industry than L.Moon.

“Oh... Mr. Huskeh, you’re really putting me in a tight spot. Mid-May is just a month away. I’m concerned that we might not be able to meet the deadline.” Kirby looked genuinely troubled.

“Then, add another 2.8 million,” Mr. Huskeh countered. “You need to meet the deadline of mid-May no matter what the cost.

L.Moon would use it for the women’s apparel for the first six months, and you can prioritize the women’s apparel during this period. Then, gradually research men’s fashion for the last six months. How does that sound?”

you can This was a compromise of all sorts, so Kirby reluctantly agreed to the man’s suggestion. “That works.”

At this moment, Abigail raised her glass and added, “I’m grateful to everyone here for giving us an opportunity for a business investment. I’d like to propose a toast.”

Everyone at the table stood up and clinked their glasses.

Sean found their cheerful behavior quite unsettling. He had initially found the food at Silver Glass enjoyable. Nevertheless, he had lost his appetite after witnessing such a harmonious. scene playing before his eyes.

Thus, he set down his cutleries, looked at Kelly, and asked, “Did you intentionally choose this place?”

“Gosh, I’m not stalking Abigail,” Kelly replied innocently. “How could I have known? If you don’t like it here, we can head somewhere else.”

“Nah.” He rose to his feet. “I’m full, so I’ll return to the hotel first.”
