I Want a Divorce by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 356 An Invitation That’s Hard to Decline

The unexpected news of Alfie and Damon becoming sworn brothers quickly spread within Capitalis’

social circles.

When Kelly received the phone call, she was equally surprised.

“What are you doing in Pendorf, anyway? I haven’t seen you visit Abigail’s grandmother even once. Are

you waiting for the truth to be revealed before meeting her?” The woman on the other end of the phone

asked, her anger barely contained.

“Aren’t you being too impatient right now? Being in Pendorf is not the same as being in Capitalis. I

need to find a shield first to make a move, or else how am I supposed to escape if things get messy?”

Kelly replied nonchalantly, showing no signs of urgency.

“Are you planning to marry Sean and win over his grandmother?” The woman couldn’t resist at

taunt.

Kelly smiled, but her gaze was cold. “Am I not allowed to marry him?”

The woman on the phone fell silent all of a sudden.

Kelly looked at the night view outside the window and continued, “I give Eric up to your daughter while I

choose Sean. Fair enough, right? If you don’t find me worthy, then your daughter should forget about

marrying into the Davidson Family as well.”

The woman on the phone took a deep breath and responded, “You managed to connect with these

people because of me. Don’t forget that!”

Kelly chuckled, “If you hadn’t asked for my help, I could have continued living my life just fine, but since

you’ve come to me for assistance, you’d better be nice to me, or I might exposé everyone, and no one

will be able to escape. It was you who gave me the opportunity to climb the ladder, and now you mock

me for overestimating my abilities?”

“Actually, you’re right. It is natural for one to climb the ladder to success, so what can I do for you?” the

woman’s tone instantly softened.

“Abigail has managed to convince Josh, and now he wants me back. If I go back, my plan will be

ruined. You must tell ‘Runway Capitalis’ to invite Abigail as a judge. Once she’s out of Pendorf, I’ll have

more room to work my plan around,” Kelly ordered.

Without a choice, the woman agreed, albeit begrudgingly.

“I have to warn you, though. Trying to win over Sean’s grandmother is pointless. He isn’t close to his

grandmother. If you want to gain his favor, you’d better focus on his grandfather,” the woman. reminded

before ending the call.

Kelly was well aware of this as she replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ve got it under control.”

After the call, the woman muttered to herself in a low voice, “I underestimated her. She has a hidden

agenda that I can’t even fathom.”

When Abigail received an unexpected invitation from the “Runway Capitalis” channel, she was

surprised.

“Runway Capitalis” was an old television channel primarily focused on fashion-related knowledge.

Whenever a TV series gained popularity, this channel would invite the actors to participate in its

programs. They would showcase the costumes and delve into the cultural aspects of clothing.

Unfortunately, Abigail didn’t have the time and wasn’t planning to accept the invitation to this

program.

“Sorry. I’m not free toward the end of the year,” she rejected politely.

“Oh, no worries, then. The person in charge didn’t force her.

Just a couple of hours after the phone call ended, Lewis, whom she hadn’t talked to in a long time,

called her.

“It’s been a while, Miss Quinn. How have you been? Lewis sounded extremely polite.

Abigail replied with a smile, “I’m doing fine. Is there a reason for your call?” In reality, she had a faint

inkling of what it might be about.

“It’s about the invitation from Runway Capitalist. Why didn’t you accept it? We’ve all agreed to invite

you, and now the entire cast is only waiting for your answer. This is a great opportunity to share about

your designs, isn’t it?” He sounded somewhat embarrassed.

“I declined because I’ve been really busy. How about asking Professor Gibson? He’s much more

knowledgeable about the clothing of the Western Roman Empire’s invasion era than I am,” Abigail said

with a hint of reluctance.

“Professor Gibson doesn’t want to appear on the show. I asked him before reaching out to you. We

really need someone with expertise for this show. Besides, you’re skilled enough to join the show.

There are a few young talents interested in costume design, so you can even select some of them. and

take them to your studio. They can carry on your legacy in the future.” Lewis earnestly tried to

persuade her.

She was considering hiring a few assistants, as she was already overwhelmed with work. If her career

continued to grow, she might end up working round the clock. “I’ll think about it,” she responded, not

wanting to refuse him outright.

“Alright, let me just tell you the truth. The cast of our TV series needs to go on popular seginenta for

promotions, especially since the history of the Western Roman Empire’s invasion era is relatively

unknown. The show’s production team is keen to have you on board, and if you them, they won’t

consider inviting us to the show.” Lewis voice carried a hint of disappointment.

Abigail understood that in the current era where popularity was king, without a buzz, no one would

pay much attention to someone or something. Promoting culture was something that only a few people

were doing, and this path was also very challenging.

When a TV series gained popularity, it could indeed have a significant impact on the audience.

However, if it flopped, there wouldn’t be any investment in such themes in the future, let alone the

promotion of so-called ‘culture.”

“I will talk to Runway Capitalist again and come up with something. Don’t worry, Abigail reluctantly

agreed.

Now that Lewis had personally contacted her, how could she bear to reject him?
