Chapter 415 Dirty Trick
Looking at Abigail, Sean asked expressionlessly, “Is your company short of cooks?”
“I know what you’re trying to say, but my grandma is different from yours. She used to work in the fields from morning till night in the village. That’s the only way she won’t feel bored,” Abigail replied. She thought, He has no idea how happy Grandma is while doing these things.
His expression softened somewhat. “Still, her health needs to be taken into consideration.”
Abigail paid no more attention to Sean and instead turned on her tablet to prepare sketching. designs. Thanks to Eni’s withdrawal, she now had to squeeze in time to design new items. This was her first time collaborating with someone, so she had to do the job herself. After all, Fairy Meadow had agreed to work with L.Moon as its subsidiary, so L.Moon had to protect them.
He sat on the couch while quietly watching her. After a while, he asked, “Did you go to Westcape Village to investigate Kelly’s identity?”
She glanced up at him. “Yeah. What were you doing there?”
Sean raised an eyebrow; he didn’t expect Abigail to know about it. “It’s not something good,” he replied vaguely.
Uninterested in prying further, she decided to continue with her work. As she completed her tasks, she took a moment to glance up, only to discover that he had drifted into a deep slumber on the couch. She observed him for a while, but he remained undisturbed by her gaze. After a brief moment of contemplation, she shifted her attention away, pondering the thought, Big bosses are always engrossed in their matters… Well, at present, I may be the boss of a small company, but I’m just as occupied. Sleep often feels like a luxury I can’t quite afford.
At last, Analise came out of her bedroom, and the sound of the door closing awakened Sean. He sat up and looked at her.
With a kindly expression, she addressed him with a simple inquiry. “Sean, what brings you here?”
Sean stood up, appearing humble and obedient. “I happened to be in Capitalis for some business. I know that you live here now, so I came to see you.
Abigail noticed that he seemed to have always behaved like this around Analisc. Although he wasn’t affectionate toward Analise, he was very polite toward her.
Analise broke into a smile. “I was bored alone in Pendorf, and besides, I hadn’t taken a good look at Capitalis, so I came with Abigail.”
Sean nodded.
Im going to the kitchen. Would you mind helping me? Analise said as she headed outside.

Abigail didn’t object to it either.
Once outside the office building, Analise said to Sean, “The Pearson Family has two daughters-in- law, and they look exactly alike. Do you know about it?”
He did know that the Pearson Family had a second daughter-in-law, but he had never seen what she actually looked like. “I know there are two daughters-in-law, but I’m not sure if they look identical,” he replied. He had been targeting Vincent all this time, and the focus of his investigation was on Vincent’s affairs.
“I saw the Pearson Family’s second daughter-in-law today. I think I might have misunderstood what happened back then.” Analise paused with deep furrows on her brow.
Sean looked at her, saying, “If you want to look into it, I’ll help you. But can you accept the consequences? Once the truth comes to light, Abigail will have to return to the Pearson Family. In my opinion, the current Pearson Family isn’t worth returning to.”
She held his hand. “Sean, please help me look into it this time. If… we have to say it, we can be prepared in advance, which is also good for Abigail. And besides, I’ve thought about it. Is it really good for her if we keep hiding the truth from her?
“Okay,” Sean replied with a nod.
“How is your grandfather?” Analise asked with concern while letting go of his hand.
“Don’t worry, Old Mrs. Quinn. He’s recovering well, he replied in a gentle voice.
She felt relieved upon hearing that.
After their conversation, Sean left with Cameron. At first, this wasn’t something Analise should have involved him in, but Colb.
had told him to make sure to visit her once he arrived in Capitalis. He only came over after receiving her consent through a text message.
The next day, even before the joint announcement by Fairy Meadow and L. Moon, a scandal broke out involving Luna. A video of L.Moon’s CEO in bed had gone viral on the internet, revealing almost everything, including intimate moments and WhatsApp voice messages.
Awoken by a call from the public relations department, Abigail promptly listened to their story. Subsequently, she swiftly checked her Twitter feed
By that time Twitter was already flooded with new of the scandal.
After watching the video, she quickly left her room without even bothering to freshen up.

Upon entering Luna’s office, Abigail saw Luna sitting expressionless in front of the laptop, which filled her with worry. “The video on the internet is fake, right?”
Luna glanced up at her. “It’s fake, but its impact is there nonetheless.”
Abigail comprehended Luna’s concern. The underlying intention seemed to be aimed at tarnishing Luna’s reputation. The worry was that certain netizens might solely perceive this skewed version of the news without considering subsequent clarifications. As a result, the stigma could persist and spread further. Contemplating this consequence, a wave of guilt washed over Abigail.
Luna calmed down. “I know what you’re thinking, but this isn’t your fault. You don’t have to kick yourself.”
“Anyway, we need to clarify this and find the mastermind,” Abigail said, her voice filled with determination as she approached Luna.
Luna replied, “You know what? When a woman is successful, 80 percent of the people don’t believe she achieved everything through her efforts. They’d think she gained everything by sleeping with influential people. That’s why they chose to use this method to attack me.”
