Chapter 481 You Weren’t Sincere Either

Abigail kept staring at her grandmother.

Analise simply got up and sat by Abigail’s bed before patting her head. “Abigail you haven’t been entirely sincere when you were with him either. Didn’t you notice that? Your personality is just like the color of your hair. You have great talent and a straightforward personality. Yet, you’re always silent and obedient before him. What was going on in your mind? Did you think that was his preference?”

“I know he dislikes me because I forced him to marry me. That’s why I tried my best to be kinder to him. hoping to please him,” Abigail explained softly. “Was I wrong in doing so?”

“I don’t know either, but your marriage has reached the point where both of you are unwilling to part yet keep reminiscing about the past. So, you’ve probably done something wrong as well. When you fall for someone in the future, just be honest and true to yourself. There’s no need to pretend. Analise comforted Abigail with a smile.

A discouraged Abigail leaned into her grandmother’s embrace and whispered. “I feel uncomfortable after hearing about Sean’s decision to marry Kelly. But I also understand that I have no right to say anything

“Is it because of Luna?” Analise immediately asked. Nonetheless, she wasn’t worried because Kelly would soon get exposed. Therefore, the marriage would be canceled soon enough

“That’s half the reason. The other half is because the Pearsons keep targeting L.Moon. He might have compromised and agreed with Kelly’s request because he’s worried Moon might not make it.” Abigail’s voice sounded somewhat aggrieved as she whined. “I keep feeling like he shouldn’t have compromised so easily. It’s not in his character to do so.”

Analise chimed in, “Indeed, but since it’s his decision, you shouldn’t think too much about it. Just repay him with some benefits after L.Moon gets better.”

“Alright, then.” Abigail didn’t want to dwell on this matter with her grandmother. They were divorced, and her hesitation would only make Analise feel uncomfortable. After all, Analise had played a part in their divorce.

After a day of rest. Abigail threw herself into work again. She had to design all the new products for Fairy Meadow Only once the style was established, and they had accumulated a good reputation and a certain number of regular customers could she gradually let go of the

Luna rushed to the company and kept touching Abigail’s hair while observing her allire “Why are you wearing a dress today? That outbi you wore was so cool Even I can’t help but want to call you handsome “Luna joked

“I wore that for the event,” Abigail replied lightly.

“Your outfit the other day was so popular, and many fashion bloggers are copying your style. I’m serious. It’s blown up.” Luna said seriously, “Your fame has gone up another level.”

Abigail glanced at her. “Fame equals status. As long as we’re strong enough, no one can do anything about us.”

“Sure, sure. Just don’t tire yourself out. Otherwise, I’ll feel heartbroken,” Luna spoke as she pinched Abigail’s cheek.

“Don’t worry.” Abigail wouldn’t dare to tire herself out as she still had to support L.Moon. Luna had supported L.Moon alone for the previous three years. So, now it was time for her to do something for Luna.

Luna leaned over and gently hugged Abigail. “I shouldn’t have overestimated myself and made you work so hard alone.”

“Take this as your vacation. You’ve been busy for three years, so it’s about time you take a rest and think about the most important thing in your life. Spend some time with Josh. He’s a reasonable person, and I think he has a good character. So, there’s no need to worry if you want to consider him as a potential partner.” Abigail’s tone sounded happy.

“Okay,” Luna replied solemnly. She couldn’t stay in L.Moon for too long lest the paparazzi spot her and make a big deal about it. That would only cause L.Moon’s barely recovered reputation to plummet again.

At the beginning of April, the issue about Fairy Meadow’s taxes was finally resolved. Unfortunately, they had to pay another million.

After Howard was done dealing with his matters, Abigail accompanied him in inspecting Flower Meadow’s internal issues. They dismissed all those who came in through connections, which caused a total restructuring of the company’s personnel and stirred up some rumors in the industry.

When Abigail exited L.Moon in the morning, she was wearing a black wool dress with a camel-colored coat draped over her. The aura she had was even stronger than that of a celebrity.

Cameron was beside her and was about to speak when a disheveled woman holding a ten- year-old boy appeared suddenly and stopped before Abigail, yelling, “Give me back my husband! How do you expect a widow like me to support my family?

Alas, Abigail didn’t recognize the woman and looked absolutely befuddled. “Who is her husband?”

Cameron reminded her, “She’s Giada Cain, wife of Leland Hodge, the finance officer you

fired from Flower Meadow.”

At the mention of Flower Meadow’s finance officer, Abigail was furious. Leland Hodge had been committing fraud for many years, using public funds to donate tens of millions to a female internet celebrity and spend nearly 20 million on a game. He even helped some of the company’s senior executives evade taxes, resulting in billions of dollars in tax liabilities for Flower Meadow, which was a massive loss.

Not only that, once the tax authorities released him, he jumped off a building to evade responsibility, forcing Flower Meadow to deal with the things he did.

On the other hand, the senior executive who embezzled the tax money fled overseas with his family overnight after the tax problems emerged. If Leland, the finance officer, hadn’t been taken away by the tax authorities, he would have fled overseas with the female online celebrity as well.

“Your husband did something illegal. Even if I hadn’t fired him, he would still have to be sent to jail, understand?” Abigail remarked coldly.
