I Want a Divorce by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 488 Manage Your Own Man

Abigail seemed to be having a cheerful conversation with the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology, and

Sean couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy in his heart. Still, he found it intriguing that Abigail was

attending such a tech conference.

While the likes of them attended computer technology conferences due to the connection between their

industries and technology, what was Abigail’s motive?

Abigail found her seat after having a good chat with the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology.

The conference had yet to begin. So, Sean used the opportunity to switch seats in order to sit beside

Abigail.

Just as he was about to strike up a conversation with her, Kelly showed up.

It seemed like Kelly had searched for quite a while before finding Sean. When she noticed that Sean

was seated next to Abigail, she balled her hands into fists. Nevertheless, she still approached them

with a smile and asked Abigail, “Could you give up your seat for me? My fiancé is sitting next to you.”

Abigail glanced at her, a smirk playing on her lips. “And why should I care?”

Kelly’s words had attracted quite a bit of attention. As she had been brought into high-profile gatherings

by the Pearsons, many people here knew her.

Normally, if anyone else had been asked this, they would willingly give up their seat. Unfortunately,

Luna from L. Moon was more than just a close collaborator to Abigail-they were best friends. She had

resigned from L. Moon because of Kelly’s privacy breach. Abigail was sure to harbor resentment.

So, Kelly was only asking for trouble by making such a request from Abigail.

Kelly felt extremely awkward. She looked at Abigail and said, “I remember my fiance’s position here is

quite good. After all, he’s a supporter of this conference. So, why are you sitting next to him?”

She questioned Abigail with the air of a rightful wife as if Abigail had deliberately chosen to

sit next to Sean.

Sean was sitting beside them. He knew he should have intervened immediately, but he wanted to

witness Abigail’s fighting spirit.

“You have the guts to ask me, but why don’t you have the guts to ask him why he’s sitting with me?”

Abigail coldly retorted with a raised eyebrow.

People around them were quietly enjoying the spectacle. In fact, some of the younger ones were

discreetly recording the scene on their phones.

Kelly was furious, but she still wore a gentle smile on her face. “My fiancé is outstanding, so who knows

how many people are eyeing to be with him.”

Abigail thought to herself that Kelly sure had thick skin.

While Kelly and Sean hadn’t done anything, Kelly was the one who was always eyeing him.

“Then, by all means, do manage your own man at your own discretion. However, I do have one simple

request: don’t bother strangers while you’re at it,” Abigail said before turning her

gaze away.

Only now did Sean calmly speak up, “We switched seats to catch up. Sit wherever you like. You and I

are in an arranged marriage, not a romantic relationship.”

His manner of speech was rather harsh. It was clear he wasn’t giving Kelly any respect at all.

Kelly was seething with anger, but she still walked to Sean’s other side and asked to switch. seats. Her

initial seat was more toward the front. So, the person readily agreed.

She felt a sense of satisfaction as she sat beside Sean. Then, she deliberately held Sean’s arm and

said, “I heard the biggest breakthrough this time is in autonomous driving. I’m quite. interested. Having

a feature for automated parking would solve a lot of people’s parking. problems.”

Sean simply responded with a noncommittal hum.

He wasn’t in the mood for chit-chat, and Kelly didn’t want to push it. She could butter him. up in private,

but not in public.

Soon, the tech exchange began.

Al was the most widely discussed topic, followed by the projects Sean had invested in. Autonomous

driving and automated parking had made further breakthroughs, reaching unprecedented levels of

safety.

Next up was the intelligent ecosystem.

When it came to Leap Gaming Technology’s turn, their demonstration of lifelike virtual fabric on the

computer screen seemed rather pointless in comparison.

Most people were leaning toward technology that improved daily life. Sean seemed to be the only one

still working in the gaming industry.

In fact, this breakthrough in the gaming industry was considered a lead, but it turned out to

be of little use in everyday life. The technical director of Leap Gaming Technology kept his explanation

brief before stepping down from the stage.

Abigail soon received a message from the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology.

He wanted her to switch seats with their technical director and have a chat.

Abigail was more than willing. She genuinely believed Leap Gaming Technology’s technology was a

significant breakthrough and could be beneficial to her aspirations.

So, she navigated through the dim lighting, arrived beside the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology, and

whispered, “All these exchanges are for the convenience of the public. It seems like your company

didn’t gain much advantage from this.”

This tech exchange also had a follow-up purpose: attracting investment. If Leap Gaming Technology’s

technology didn’t show an edge, who would bother investing in it?

The CEO of Leap Gaming Technology sighed wearily as he responded, “I thought it would be a

breakthrough, but it seems it didn’t have much of an impact. Maybe we picked the wrong event to

participate in?”

“In today’s rapidly advancing tech landscape, it’s crucial that innovations prioritize convenience for

everyday life. Didn’t I mention to you that I have an idea?” Abigail whispered.

The lighting was too dim, and Sean couldn’t determine what was happening on Abigail’s end.

Regardless, there was no denying he was starting to feel a bit bored.

Kelly, who was standing beside him, murmured, “This time, Leap Gaming Technology didn’t really have

any standout features. But then again, I guess those who aren’t going to amount to anything in life

would bother playing games.”

Sean paid her no mind.

“By the way, Miss Quinn’s design talent is so exceptional. She’s made quite a profit designing clothes

for celebrities. Wouldn’t it be a step down for her to design game interfaces?” Kelly continued, sharing

her perspective.
