Chapter 113

Chapter 113 Alana’s Scandal Kevin found the question rather peculiar. The only plausible reason for a wife to believe her husband was dead was if he failed to contribute or fulfill his responsibilities. He suspected that Sean’s involvement with Joan might be the cause. He looked at Sean and cautiously inquired, “Did you f*ck Joan too much?”

“Are you crazy?” Sean shot Kevin an incredulous look.

Kevin sat up straight. “Abigail is obviously displeased with you. She wouldn’t even tell you she’s Alana. You’re a failure of a husband.”

Sean looked at Kevin coldly and admitted, “I know. I don’t even know if the mourning period for her husband is over.”

Kevin felt the chill in the air emanating from Sean, making him shiver. He huddled closer and moved away slightly. “What now? She won’t reveal her true profession, and we can’t confront her with these drafts to force the truth out. What if she has a valid reason for her actions?”

Sean had no immediate response. He thought he knew Abigail, but at that moment, he reflected on their past and realized there had always been a veil between them.

Kevin proposed a somewhat absurd idea. “What if you pretend you know nothing and maintain this secret indefinitely, as I’m doing?”

Sean looked at him coldly. “How can I demand an explanation for her claiming I was dead?”

Kevin almost choked on his own words. Anything he said at that moment would only worsen matters for Abigail. “I’ll try to expose her then. I have her designs and the contract Luna signed.

This should be easy to resolve,” he suggested.

“I need to find out why she didn’t want to tell me,” Sean said solemnly.

Kevin hesitated briefly. “Maybe it has something to do with Miss Palmer.”

Sean shot him a sideways glance. “Joan hasn’t been back for long. She’s been using the Alana alias in this industry for a while.”

Kevin conceded that Sean had a point and nodded. “True. So what’s our plan now?”

“Is that the only question you have?” Sean replied calmly.

After hesitating, Kevin said, “I don’t mind if Abigail keeps it a secret. I’m fine with it as long as everyone remains in the dark, and it doesn’t affect the show.”

Sean remembered when Kevin informed him that Abigail was serving tea or something. He had no clue what was going through her mind. She could have confronted him but remained silent instead, preferring to endure unfair treatment rather than reveal her true identity. Suddenly, he asked, “Do you know why she won’t tell me anything?”

Kevin noticed the confusion and dejection in Sean’s eyes. He understood how Sean felt. Sean and Abigail were a couple, married. Yet, she kept such a significant secret and wouldn’t reveal it to him. She might have had many more secrets.

Kevin recalled all the times she interacted with Sean, and a realization dawned on him. “I think she doesn’t like you. Have you been mistreating her in your marriage?”

“She doesn’t like me?” Sean was taken aback. He had believed that Abigail married him because she liked him. He was forced into the marriage, yet she still married him despite knowing he had no feelings for her.

Kevin was speechless about how dense this man was.

“How’d you know she doesn’t like me?” Sean asked.

“Abigail’s always distant to everyone, including you. She’s interacted with you a lot of times, but she never blushed. Not even once,” Kevin said truthfully.

Sean couldn’t help but think, That’s not true. She blushes when we’re having intimacy and is not distant in private.

Kevin was about to speak again, but someone knocked on the door. Sean checked the time. It was a few minutes past eight, and he thought it was probably someone from the production team.

An impatient Kevin approached the door and opened it to find Cameron waiting outside. He asked, “What’s going on?”

Cameron entered the room and closed the door behind him. “Something big happens.”

“Spit it out,” Kevin urged. He hadn’t yet formulated his thoughts about whether Abigail liked Sean.

Cameron glanced at the frosty Sean. “There’s a scandal circulating on the internet regarding Alana. They claim she’s not the real creator of the designs. They say she doesn’t even know how to make clothes. What’s more, they have both audio and video evidence.”

Kevin couldn’t believe his ears. He asked, “What? They’re saying Alana can’t even design clothes, and there’s evidence to back it up?”
