Chapter 310 Not Qualified
Abigail poured a gla*s of whiskey for Sean and exchanged some courteous words at the dining table. Finally, she raised her gla*s and said, “Our divorce is already in the past, and I hope you won’t dwell on it, Mr. Graham. We should look forward and move ahead. Of course, I’m very grateful for all the help you’ve provided.”
Sean nodded as he picked up a gla*s nearby and lightly clinked it against Abigail’s gla*s before downing it.
Analise had prepared whiskey as she didn’t know much about red wine. She felt that whiskey was just right for this occasion.
Unfortunately, the fiery whiskey made Sean’s nerves tingle. He was severely tempted to ask. Abigail head-on what he could do just to earn a chance for redemption. Still, he managed to restrain himself.
It was entirely up to her whether she wanted to give him another chance, and he had no right to ask such a foolish question. Even if he felt aggrieved and wanted to be a fool for once, he could. only be one in his mind.
“Since I’ve accepted your dinner invitation, you don’t need to feel indebted anymore. Grandma took care of me for three years. Doing what I can to repay that kindness is only right,” he spoke calmly after regaining his composure.
“Alright,” Abigail replied before Analise could.
“Is your friend okay? How’s he doing? Getting stabbed is no small matter. He looked as though he was at death’s door the last I saw him. Is his b*dy recovering well?” Analise interjected at this
moment.
“Don’t worry, Grandma. He exercises regularly, so his b*dy is very fit. Plus, he hasn’t stopped taking supplements,” Sean replied politely.
After dinner, Abigail called Cameron and had Sean, who was slightly tipsy, picked up.
Once they left, Analise couldn’t help but glare at Abigail. “Even if you don’t like him anymore, you shouldn’t speak like that. Regardless of your feelings, his friend risked his life for you.”
Analise and Sean shared a common secret. Plus, Sean’s name was dragged into the mud because of the events in Capitalis, which only occurred mainly due to Abigail’s identity. So, she held deep gratitude toward him. Her previous discontent with him had also dissipated to a considerable
extent.
“You’re just too soft-hearted. Aren’t you afraid that his grandmother might come looking for trouble again?” Abigail said with a touch of helplessness.

“I’ll keep the door locked. Let’s see how she’ll get in then.” Analise was not afraid at this point.
When Abigail heard her response, she smiled before saying seriously, “I really don’t want to have a close relationship with him. So, you shouldn’t get too close to him because of this incident. Dealing with his grandmother is not easy, and I don’t want you to end up in the hospital because
of her.”
“I know.”
Abigail returned to her room and continued to send out new design drafts to clients after telling. Analise her plans.
She had already anticipated this situation when Micah stole her designs and had prepared many designs in advance. Some were ideas that hadn’t been used before, and she didn’t expect them to be a lifesaver for her studio this time.
When the emails were all sent, she logged into her Instagram account and noticed that the plagiarism incident had gained significant attention. Still, CoolVogue was just a small brand, so their post hadn’t made it to the trending topics. Instead, her Instagram post had garnered
numerous comments.
In truth, not making it to the trending topics left her feeling quite disappointed.
She clicked on the comments and started reading them carefully.
‘Please come out and clarify the situation, Ally. I saw accusations of plagiarism at Lyshe’s event yesterday, but they didn’t release a statement. I firmly believe that this is just a misunderstanding. Where are you? We’re worried about you!
‘Don’t disappoint us, Ally. I became your fan because of the dress you designed for Lexie. You brought honor to our design industry. Please don’t mess up. Otherwise, I may actually quit all my socials altogether!”
“You don’t have the guts to speak up because you plagiarized, didn’t you? Fans should really stop manipulating the comments. Even a small company like CoolVogue dared to step forward. So, why should a big company like Lyshe cover up for her? Lyshe has already explained the problem at their event last night. This isn’t the first time she’s been accused of plagiarism, is it?”
Abigail read through the comments and then began composing a post. ‘An employee from my company used illegal means to steal all my design files from my computer. I’ve been trying to find a solution, and I expected these results, but not this soon. The company has reported the theft to the police, but I’m still personally responsible for the losses. These leaked designs have been distributed to various people and teams, so LMoon has invested a lot of resources and time in the investigation. However, I will never plagiarize. If I do lose my touch one day, I will choose to leave this industry: Regardless, I will never engage in plagiarism, which would bring shame to the industry.
She attached the police report and Micah’s verdict as evidence. Anyone could verify the truth.

Following her post, her fans rallied to her defense, expressing their sympathy and support.
“How many designs were stolen? Can you share more details? How can an employee do such a thing? It seemed that they even had such a sophisticated virus on hand just for this. If someone is determined to cause harm, it seems any precautions couldn’t have stopped it.
When Abigail saw this comment, she replied, ‘Hundreds of unreleased design drafts were stolen.
This comment quickly made its way to the top comments section.
Abigail appreciated her fans’ concern and knew that L.Moon’s current popularity owed much to the support of these dedicated followers. They might not fully grasp the intricacies of design, but their heartfelt appreciation for beautiful things was unwavering and staggering in its authenticity.
