The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 269 Did Josh Agree?

Seeing Abigail so angry, her assistant quickly entered the room and glanced at Chad, who was

smirking. She immediately stated in a cold tone, “Please leave!”

Chad set down his coffee and slowly stood up. He looked at Abigail with a disdainful expression. “Ms.

Quinn, I know that you have Mr. Graham backing you, as well as East Joy Talent. However, East Joy

Talent is busy keeping an eye on the Davidsons for you. As for Sean, he hasn’t even resolved things

with the Palmers. How does he have time to deal with you?”

Abigail turned her head, her gaze as sharp as a knife that pierced through Chad,

Meanwhile, Chad continued, “You may threaten to use the surveillance footage against me, L.Moon

really so clean? Consider this carefully–if you sell those thousand pearls, L. Moon gains a friend in me.

If you’re not selling them, L.Moon might find it difficult to operate.

but is

After he finished speaking, he ignored the anger in Abigail’s assistant’s eyes as he raised his chin

proudly and left.

Once he was gone, the assistant walked up to Abigail and looked at her with concern. “What should we

do?”

“I need some time to think. Don’t worry,” Abigail replied calmly, leaning against the table.

Could there be something wrong with L.Moon?

The truth was, Abigail wasn’t sure.

Luna and Abigail had established L.Moon, and the latter hadn’t intervened in the past three years.

Luna, being a newcomer, had slowly built it up. Is there a problem somewhere?

Abigail was definitely not going to sell the pearls. These thousand pearls were not only meant to pave

the way for Ronaldo’s pearl business but also to establish L.Moon!

“I’ll call Micah first. You go ahead and do what you need to do,” Abigail said, feeling that Micah’s

resignation must be related to this.

Abigail dialed Micah’s number, but no matter how many times she called, there was no answer.

She came out of her office and immediately instructed her assistant, “Notify security to check the

surveillance footage. Also, check all computer usage records for me!”

Abigail then called Luna.

She called three times before Luna finally picked up.

“Did you discuss the contract with Kelly?” Abigail asked immediately.

“No, she said she’s too busy these days and asked me to wait until she has the time to let me know.

She wanted me to come to Capitalis and sign the contract with her. Why?” Luna felt that Abigail

sounded a bit tense, and her own heart started to race.

“There’s a problem with Kelly. Don’t bother signing the contract. I’m going to the finance department.

Finish up what you’re doing and come back as soon as possible,” Abigail commented, not giving Luna

a chance to ask further. She then hung up and headed to the finance department.

“Let me see the payment record of 657 thousand from that day!” Abigail ordered as she arrived. She

was determined to investigate who this Kelly was and why she was causing trouble for the studio.

“Ms. Quinn, take a look at this,” the finance staff said, moving aside.

Abigail saw that the payment came from Josh’s account, and a shiver ran down her spine.

Kelly… The family reunion banquet… So, she’s the heiress of the Pearson Family who has been found!

“Return the money. Tell her that we’ll make the payment when the contract is signed,” Abigail said, then

turned and left.

Josh knows that Kelly has paid 657 thousand for a dress from me and even sent the payment himself.

Does he not realize how inappropriate this is?

Back in her office, Abigail sat down with a stern expression.

The head of security came to her office and reported in a serious tone, “Ms. Quinn, Micah used virus

stored on her phone to infiltrate your computer and copy the design files.”

Abigail looked up at that. “Has it been reported to the police?”

“It’s already been reported,” the head of security replied.

“What kind of job are you doing? I have to ask you to check the surveillance footage every day. Have

you checked? When did this happen?” Abigail stood up, her voice cold with anger.

The head of security hung his head, trembling as he spoke. “It happened the day before yesterday after

work. She said she had to fix a design that wasn’t done well and decided to stay overtime. We didn’t

expect her to steal the design files.”

“You’d better pray that Micah hasn’t left the country. If the police can’t handle it, I’ll handle it myself!”

Abigail growled, then waved for him to leave.

Once he was gone, Abigail’s breathing gradually grew heavier.

Her computer and tablet were from the same brand, and she had synchronized all the design files.

Theoretically, it shouldn’t have been possible to breach her computer and tablet through conventional

means. However, Micah had used a particular method. Why would she go to such

lengths to steal the design files? Can it be related to Kelly?

Abigail suddenly felt like she had unknowingly walked into a trap.

This trap had been set silently, and she hadn’t noticed a thing.

After taking a moment to calm down, she called Ronaldo.

When he answered, he greeted her in an Eastbay accent, “How do you have time to call me? Did you

finish the design and want me to take a look? Or is it that you miss the seafood and want me to send

some over?”

“Mr. Fernandez, I need your help with something serious.” Abigail’s voice was stern as she explained,

“This matter concerns L.Moon, as well as the development of your Marimora pearls business. Will you

help?”

Ronaldo’s tone became serious too. “Tell me what you need. If it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely

help you.”

“Well, the company is facing a very serious problem, Abigail slowly explained to him.

Being anxious and flustered would not help in this situation. She needed to address the issue as

quickly as possible to minimize the losses. Design files could be redrawn, but some of them had

already been made into clothes. If a large number of counterfeit products flooded the market, these

clothes wouldn’t sell and would result in significant financial losses.
