Chapter 481 You Werenât Sincere Either Abigail kept staring at her grandmother.
Analise simply got up and sat by Abigailâs bed before patting her head. âAbigail you havenât been entirely sincere when you were with him either. Didnât you notice that? Your personality is just like the color of your hair. You have great talent and a straightforward personality. Yet, youâre always silent and obedient before him. What was going on in your mind? Did you think that was his preference?â
âI know he dislikes me because I forced him to marry me. Thatâs why I tried my best to be kinder to him. hoping to please him,â
Abigail explained softly. âWas I wrong in doing so?â
âI donât know either, but your marriage has reached the point where both of you are unwilling to part yet keep reminiscing about the past. So, youâve probably done something wrong as well. When you fall for someone in the future, just be honest and true to yourself. Thereâs no need to pretend. Analise comforted Abigail with a smile.
A discouraged Abigail leaned into her grandmotherâs embrace and whispered. âI feel uncomfortable after hearing about Seanâs decision to marry Kelly. But I also understand that I have no right to say anything âIs it because of Luna?â Analise immediately asked. Nonetheless, she wasnât worried because Kelly would soon get exposed.
Therefore, the marriage would be canceled soon enough âThatâs half the reason. The other half is because the Pearsons keep targeting L.Moon. He might have compromised and agreed with Kellyâs request because heâs worried Moon might not make it.â Abigailâs voice sounded somewhat aggrieved as she whined.
âI keep feeling like he shouldnât have compromised so easily. Itâs not in his character to do so.â
Analise chimed in, âIndeed, but since itâs his decision, you shouldnât think too much about it. Just repay him with some benefits after L.Moon gets better.â
âAlright, then.â Abigail didnât 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 Trina Luna rushed to the company and kept touching Abigailâs hair while observing her allire âWhy are you wearing a dress today?
That outbi you wore was so cool Even I canât help but want to call you handsome âLuna joked 13 âI wore that for the event,â Abigail replied lightly.
âYour outfit the other day was so popular, and many fashion bloggers are copying your style. Iâm serious. Itâs blown up.â Luna said seriously, âYour fame has gone up another level.â
Abigail glanced at her. âFame equals status. As long as weâre strong enough, no one can do anything about us.â
âSure, sure. Just donât tire yourself out. Otherwise, Iâll feel heartbroken,â Luna spoke as she pinched Abigailâs cheek.
âDonât worry.â Abigail wouldnât 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. âI shouldnât have overestimated myself and made you work so hard alone.â
âTake this as your vacation. Youâve been busy for three years, so itâs about time you take a rest and think about the most important thing in your life. Spend some time with Josh. Heâs a reasonable person, and I think he has a good character. So, thereâs no need to worry if you want to consider him as a potential partner.â Abigailâs tone sounded happy.
âOkay,â Luna replied solemnly. She couldnât stay in L.Moon for too long lest the paparazzi spot her and make a big deal about it.
That would only cause L.Moonâs barely recovered reputation to plummet again.
At the beginning of April, the issue about Fairy Meadowâs 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 Meadowâs internal issues. They dismissed all those who came in through connections, which caused a total restructuring of the companyâs 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, âGive me back my husband! How do you expect a widow like me to support my family?
Alas, Abigail didnât recognize the woman and looked absolutely befuddled. âWho is her husband?â
Cameron reminded her, âSheâs Giada Cain, wife of Leland Hodge, the finance officer you |||
2/3 fired from Flower Meadow.â
At the mention of Flower Meadowâs 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 companyâs 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, hadnât been taken away by the tax authorities, he would have fled overseas with the female online celebrity as well.
âYour husband did something illegal. Even if I hadnât fired him, he would still have to be sent to jail, understand?â Abigail remarked coldly.
