Chapter 329 You’re Quite the Troublemaker
In fact, even if they found issues with the taxes, they could simply make the payments to rectify the situation, and it would not have a significant impact. However, it was clear that someone was using this as a warning.
After a day of tax inspection, the company’s accounts, from its establishment to the present, were reviewed once again. Once the tax authorities left, Abigail and Luna decided to have a barbecue. Abigail mentioned the possibility of someone orchestrating the tax inspection, but Luna did not pay much attention to it.
“You seem like a quirky artist now. I thought this pearl gown would sell for millions, but it only fetched a total of 132 thousand,” Luna teased with a smile.
“If Damon’s situation is genuine, I must sell it to him,” Abigail said.
Luna raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “Why? I’m curious about the reason.”
Abigail remained silent for a while before uttering. A priceless treasure is easily sought, but a true lover is hard to find.”
“Let me investigate the authenticity of this matter. It’ll be fun to follow their story and see if they’ll end up together.” Luna cheered, unable to resist her curiosity. She took out her phone and began searching for information about Damon.”
In reality, she understood that this kind of love story would make anyone envious. Especially someone like Abigail, who had experienced romantic setbacks. Even though she had moved on, who would not want to be loved unconditionally by the person they liked?
As Abigail added ingredients to the grill, Luna suddenly exclaimed, “I found it!”
Sitting next to her, Abigail quickly leaned over to look at her phone.
Damon and his fiancee were the only couple to receive the 7th-anniversary gift in a game developed by Leap. He and his fiancee’s in-game characters had statues in front of the game’s Matchmaking Shrine.
But what players found fascinating was that Damon was a wealthy heir, and the clothing and equipment on his in-game character were worth millions. His fiancee, on the other hand, was an ordinary person with an in-game character who had worn an outfit worth less than 300 for more than seven years.
“Isn’t this like the game version of Cinderella meeting her prince?” Luna smilingly asked Abigail.
“I guess this lady must be an interesting person. Why else would Damon give up everything to marry her?” Abigail laughed.

The two of them began discussing their love story.
Meanwhile, Sean and Kevin were at the bar discussing the business involving Abigail.
“These thousand pearls with peacock overtones have certainly had a turbulent fate… First, they were openly stolen, and now, they’re caught up in a dispute as they’re about to be turned into clothing. I can’t understand why Ms. Quinn would sell this excellent outfit so cheaply to Damon,” Kevin expressed his doubts.
He had privately inquired and found out that Abigail had sold this outfit for only 132 thousand, which seemed like a big loss.
Sean set down his drink and looked at Kevin. Is there anything special about the relationship between Damon and his fiancee?”
Of course, two grown men would not understand; women had a different perspective when it came to relationships.
Kevin pondered before suggesting, “Maybe online relationships feel more special?”
“Abigail isn’t that naive; aren’t online relationships and real-life love essentially the same? Maybe it’s because they’ve been in love for ten years, which makes it seem particularly precious.” Sean.
propped up his chin and zed it seriously.
“But many people stay married for a lifetime. Isn’t that more precious?” Kevin asked in return and took a sip of his drink.
Sean had been thinking about this question eyer since he learned that L.Moon had been reported for tax issues by Copper Corporation today.
Why would Abigail sell to Damon despite all the pressure? And at such a low price! She made almost no profit after deducting the costs. Also, she put a lot of effort into making the dress.
“Ms. Quinn is becoming more and more like an artist; her eccentric behavior makes us ordinary folks unable to figure her out. She sold a thousand pearls at a bargain.” Kevin sighed and shook his head, looking puzzled.
After all, this outfit had brought her a lot of popularity in the gaming world. If she were to announce that she sold it for only 132 thousand, the industry would probably be shocked.
It made more sense to sell at the highest price while the demand was high, plus this deal brought her more risk than anything.
Lost in thought, Sean ran his fingers along the edge of his gla*s. Indeed, he was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Abigail. She kept talking about integrity, but what was more worrying was the 132 thousand exchange seemed more likely to put L.Moon at risk.

He did not believe she failed to understand this, but she seemed to persist in doing things her
way.
Kevin drank for a while before suddenly asking, “Maybe… She, too, wants this kind of love?”
Sean immediately lifted his head and looked at him.
“You’re quite the troublemaker.” Kevin suddenly pointed at him.
“Make it clear, or you won’t leave here sober,” Sean warned, his face stern.
When it came to the idea that Abigail might yearn for love, his demeanor changed.
Look at how anrious you are, Kevin thought before he smiled mischievously and continued, “In this world, genuine emotions are priceless. What do you think?”
Sean pursed his l*ps and did not speak. He seemed to understand now.
“Ms. Quinn values sentiment a lot, Kevin added with a teasing smile, his expression becoming more meaningful.
