Chapter 449 For the Serious Only
Damon gave Alfie a disapproving look, but the latter grinned shamelessly. “I may not have many qualities, but I’m straightforward. Ms. Quinn, don’t you agree?”
“Thank you for speaking the truth. Please pa*s a message to Sean on my behalf. There’s no need to send me help. He should also remember what he said before. Abigail said politely to Alfie and then headed toward Luna’s car.
With an exasperated sigh, Damon looked at Alfie. “I told you not to follow, but you insisted on coming and thought everything was fine… Ms. Quinn and Mr. Graham have no contact anymore.”
“I think it’s better to be transparent in such matters. Hiding it just feels icky, don’t you think?” Alfie said carnestly.
Once Abigail got into the car, she turned on the music and waited for Luna to return.
…
Arriving in Howard’s office, Luna watched as he poured water for her and immediately cut to the chase before saying, “You might as well just say it. I’m not thirsty.”
At that, he placed the gla*s of water on the counter and turned to look at her, his face filled with hesitation. “Luna, I think our personalities clash, and a romantic relationship doesn’t benefit our collaboration either. I don’t want to keep arguing with you. Let’s break up.”
She nodded calmly and said, “Sure. It can cut losses in time. You can focus on resolving the internal issues at Fairy Meadow. As for the investment that L.Moon made and the breach of contract fines, you can repay them when you have the funds.”
Not expecting Luna to be so accommodating, Howard was surprised but immediately expressed his gratitude. “Thank you. And Abigail, too.”
She looked at him, her l*ps curling slightly. “Howard, you should take what Abigail said to heart. The current situation within Fairy Meadow is something I believe you understand better than anyone else. How you choose to proceed is entirely up to you.”
He nodded but remained relatively silent. She looked at him and gave a slight mocking smile. Without saying more, she turned to leave.
After leaving Fairy Meadow, Luna fell into silent contemplation with a furrowed brow. Eventually, she took out her phone and removed Josh’s number from her blacklist.
When: Abigail saw Luna return, she immediately opened the car door. The latter got into the car and asked nonchalantly, “Have Alfie and Damon left?”
“Yes” Abigail replied and continued to look at Luna’s face closely.
Luna glanced at her and said with a smile, “I broke up with Howard, but I don’t feel much. Maybe that’s because I don’t love him Alas”
“Aren’t you upset! Weren’t you quite food of him? Abigail extended her hand and held I

“If you truly feel upset-”
“Stop, Abigail. I’ve decided to accept Josh’s pursuit.”
Abigail was taken aback. “But didn’t you say you don’t like him?”
Luna shrugged. “I can work things out slowly even if I don’t like him now. Besides, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I want to see what tricks the Pearson Family is up to. Kelly alone is not enough; I need to get involved!”
“I think this is too big of a sacrifice.” Abigail objected as she believed that deceiving Josh’s feelings was unethical.
“Do you think I’m making a bigger sacrifice, or is it Josh?” Luna continued, “I know you still appreciate his help before, but Kelly teamed up with the Pearson Family to target me. I can’t let her get away with it!” Luna was contemplating breaking up with Howard, and this was her stance on the matter.
Abigail still disagreed with her approach. “Deceiving one’s emotions isn’t good, especially when Josh isn’t the devil. Don’t you think?” She tried to convince her.
Luna pulled her hand back and started the car’s engine. How is he not the devil? My relationship with Howard went sour because of him. That day, he told Howard I abandoned him to cooperate with Fairy Meadow. If I don’t get back at this scheming man, I’ll never get over it!”
So, it was a personal grudge.
Abigail said, “I didn’t know about this.”
“I didn’t want to tell you. I thought it was embarra*sing, Luna said as she drove.
“Nothing is embarra*sing about it. I still can’t believe that Josh liked you. It’s just so strange to me.” Abigail admitted that she found the whole situation baffling.
Luna continued driving. “I feel the same way.”
“Are you really going to be with him?” Abigail was still uncertain.
“Of course. I want to irritate Kelly and the Pearsons. If I can marry Josh, it’ll drive Scarlett crazy!” Luna could not wait to be with him, dying to see how the Pearson Family would react when they found out she was with him.
“You’re not afraid of angering Josh?” Abigail looked puzzled.
“I’m still angry, you know. He suddenly came and disrupted my relationship with Howard, and I didn’t even react in time, alright?” Luna growled.
Abigail sighed. “Please take it easy. If you provoke Josh, I’m afraid he’ll retaliate.”
Lana smiled with a hint of mockery. “Rest a*sured. I’ve got a plan!”
