Chapter 434 Setting the Record Straight
As the online discussions regarding L.Moon’s donation escalated, Capitalis Daily released a video.
“The ‘Slaughter’ on the Internet Caused by the Clothing Donation: The Underlying Moral Issues Are a
Cause for Concern.
The video featured the unedited and unfiltered interview with Abigail and Luna. Underneath the video was an article written by Capitalis Daily.
‘It’s surprising that a teacher who has dedicated five years to teaching in harsh conditions and a clothing company like L.Moon, which spent over 150 thousand on donating winter clothing to children in a remote. area, have both faced criticism from so-called influencers for allegedly exploiting these children for profit. Despite the genuine efforts, time, and hard work put into these endeavors, it’s disheartening to see some influencers and netizens, who contributed nothing, question the sincerity of their actions.
These few sentences left countless people in silent contemplation. It seemed that whoever had a louder voice was considered to be right.
A teacher who had bravely taught in extreme conditions for five years and a clothing company like L.Moon, which spent over a hundred thousand, could both be criticized. Meanwhile, influencers who contributed nothing were given a platform to criticize them.
Capitalis Daily’s article woke up many netizens who had previously been quick to condemn.
Eric was the first to share the article. ‘If dedicating time and money to such causes leads to this kind of backlash, who will be willing to help these children? Are we relying on so-called moral influencer “saints’ who only know how to toss out criticisms?”
After that, more people began sharing Capitalis Daily’s posts.
Sean did, too. “This matter is more complex than it seems. There’s certainly some organized influence at play, involving the education and well-being of children in remote areas. I hope the relevant authorities will thoroughly investigate. Let’s not discourage the dedication of teachers and companies trying to do good deeds. Protecting the online environment is everyone’s responsibility.”
Many people agreed with his statement.
Abigail chuckled as she saw netizens once again transform into self-proclaimed defenders of justice, supporting the volunteer teacher and L.Moon Studio.
“A lot of paid commenters are involved in this incident. But, indeed, netizens can easily be manipulated into tools,” Luna commented with a smile while reading the comments from netizens.
Abigail put down her phone. “It’s quite surprising that Capitalis Daily is on our side.”
“They almost scared me to death when they came the other day. I’m glad it ended well. Luna could finally heave a sigh of relief.
After this incident, several prominent online figures who were involved in it were investigated, and their accounts were permanently banned.
In December, as the first wave of cold weather arrived, the show Troubled Times’ began airing. With epic visuals, a very fast-paced teaser, and the theme song produced by a big shot, it immediately caught the attention of the entire internet

However, Abigail had no time to watch television; she was preparing to participate in an international fashion design competition. Just like many other professions, designers needed to continuously participate in competitions to win awards and increase their value.
Before going to Faglia, Abigail met with Damon. When she took out the pearl dress, his eyes lit up.
“How are things at home?” she smilingly asked him.
His gaze shifted from the dress to her, and he politely said, “Not bad. We’re definitely getting married. I’ll transfer the remaining money to you as soon as I get back.
“Okay.” She nodded.
“We’re about to get engaged soon. You must come,” he happily insisted.
“If it’s in December, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it. I’m leaving for Faglia tomorrow to participate in
a design competition, and I’ll probably stay there for a month or two,” she said regretfully.
He felt a bit disappointed at this. “I s
He felt a bit disappointed at this. “I see… Well, you must come when we get married.”
“If I have no other commitments, I’ll be there.” She smiled.
Abigail’s trip to compete in Faglia was kept confidential. She even told Damon to keep it a secret before she left.
On the second day of her arrival in Faglia, the pearl dress became an instant sensation online. Not only was the dress a replica of the one in the game but what amazed people the most was that Damon publicly shared a video of him gifting it to his girlfriend and tagging both his friends and the game company.
He mentioned that Abigail offered the dress for 132 thousand, which was what left everyone astonished.
‘In Miss Alana’s words: A priceless treasure is easily sought, but a true lover is hard to find. I’m very grateful to her for selling me this dress at such a low price during my most difficult time. Many people pressured her, but she told me that as long as I wanted it, she could provide it. I’m truly moved…. Miss Alana is the best designer; she has the craftsmanship of a true designer, and I will respect her for life.
Damon’s post received over 100 thousand comments and stayed at the top of the trending topics for almost 24 hours.
‘Such a beautiful dress for only a hundred thousand, while many top actresses wear dresses worth millions that aren’t as stunning. I’m genuinely as envious as I am speechless for my favorite actress.”
‘Most importantly, I feel that this dress truly conveys Miss Alana’s beautiful blessings for love, so the price is just a labor cost. The important thing is the sentiment, right?”
‘Miss Alana is so kind! You may not know that Damon’s relationship with his girlfriend wasn’t supported by his family. When he went to Miss Alana, he didn’t have much money, which is why she offered the dress for only 132 thousand.”
