Chapter 22
The security guards were no longer polite and started tugging Abigail and
the young woman in the blue dress out of the venue. The latter became
anxious and began screaming at Joan in a choked voice, “Miss Palmer, I’ll pay
you the money! I’ll compensate for the cost of the dress, so don’t implicate
others in this matter.” While pulling on Abigail, she whispered, “I can’t let you
get kicked out with me. Also, it was difficult for me to get this chance, and if I
got kicked out, it would cost me more than 120 thousand.”
Initially, Abigail felt nothing for Joan. Since Sean had no feelings for her, she
did not care if he got involved with Joan. However, that woman had
undoubtedly overstepped her boundaries, and she felt rage surging inside
her as she threw away the security guard’s hand. “What is there to
compensate? This dress doesn’t even cost that much. She’s trying to scam
you with your money.”
Hearing that, Joan suddenly turned grim and chastised, “Whom are you
calling a scammer? I can afford a wedding dress that costs over a million at
Chapter 22 Stay Away om He
your store. This is a dress Alana custom-made for me. 120 thousand is
already a low price.”
A sneer appeared on Abigail’s face. “Alana custom-made it for you? Why
don’t I know about it?”
“Of course, you wouldn’t know. That’s because Alana and Sean are close.”
Since everyone knew Sean’s name, they could not help but believe her even
more.
At the mention of the wedding dress, Abigail felt a pang in her heart, and her
eyes were filled with sarcasm. She wondered if Joan knew she and Sean
shared an even more ‘intimate’ relationship. Not only were they legally
married, but they also slept together. However, she was curious about why
he would make up such a lie to please Joan. Did he not think that they might
clash with her?
There was one moment when Abigail wanted to expose the truth and prove
Joan wrong, but her reasoning told her she could not do so. That was
because Luna had taken up the identity of Alana when signing the
cooperation with East Joy Talent.
If she exposed the truth, they would be the only ones in trouble. Just as
Abigail was feeling aggrieved, she heard an angry voice from behind. “Why
don’t I know I’m close with someone named Sean?”
Turning around, Abigail saw Luna arrogantly approaching them while holding
the hem of her dress. She felt relieved as her savior had finally arrived.
Subsequently, Luna came over and pulled Abigail behind her. “How could all
of you gang up on a woman?”
Since the waiter could not figure out Luna’s identity, he quickly blamed Joan.
“This lady says your friend doesn’t have an invitation, which is why this
happened.”
Sending a cold glance toward Joan, the troublemaker, Luna took two
invitations from her bag. “See for yourself!”
When the waiter saw the invitation, his complexion suddenly turned ghastly.

Meanwhile, Joan suddenly had a bad feeling and wanted to peek at the
name on the invitation, but the waiter closed the invitation before she could
do so and respectfully returned it. “I’m sorry, Miss Smith. It was our
negligence.”
Alana was Kevin’s special guest, whom he had announced to them
beforehand. It was also because Alana was so mysterious that no one had
seen her before that they neglected this matter.
At the same time, Joan felt like she had been struck by lightning as she
looked at the person before her in disbelief. They’re… Alana and her a*sistant?
Did I just…
Luna was usually easygoing, but having experienced all sorts of situations,
she had grown to hide her feelings. After retrieving the invitations, she shot
Joan a cold look with her made-up eyes. “The next time you frame someone,
please look carefully and do not just pick any victim. Are you that desperate
for money?”

Feeling like she had just gotten slapped, Joan flushed bright red.
Meanwhile, the frantic young woman was afraid both sides would start
arguing. In the end, the one getting implicated would be a nob*dy like her.
Therefore, she piped up to mediate the situation. “It’s all a misunderstanding.
Everything’s fine now that we’re in the clear.” She then gave Abigail a
pleading look, indicating that she should not offend Joan.
To be more precise, they could not afford to offend the person behind Joan.
Although Abigail knew Luna was trying to stand up for her, the situation had
now involved innocent people. The young woman might suffer if they could
not settle this matter peacefully and leave just like that. “Forget it,” she said.
“The dress is indeed dirty. Miss Smith, how about we take care of this?”
While gritting her teeth, Luna rebuked, “That depends on this lady here. Does
she want to deal with her dress, or does she insist on getting that 120
thousand?”
Joan knew in her heart that Alana did not design the dress she was wearing.
Chapter 22 Stay Away From Her
Since the other was standing before her, she would humiliate herself sooner
or later if she did not take advantage of this favor. “I’ll get changed.”
The young woman quickly replied, “I’ll bring you to my caravan. My new dress
is inside there.”
Following that, the group left together.
“Thank you.” The young woman untraceably held Abigail’s arm and thanked
her. She could tell that Abigail and Luna were close, and Luna was willing to
agree because of Abigail.
