Chapter 490 Waiting for Today
Monday was a workday, and the Pearsons’ house was eerily quiet.
Luna sat in the Pearsons’ living room, engrossed in her phone.
Kelly kept a close eye on Luna from upstairs.
Luna seemed to be up to something suspicious, glancing nervously at the door from time to time.
After a while, Kelly retreated to her own room.
Ever since Sean had relented, Luna had been on her best behavior. So, Josh had brought her back despite Lawrence’s clear dislike for her. Hence, Lawrence had put on a façade of politeness.
On the other hand, Scarlett was kind to her. After all, Luna was the woman that the Pearsons” only son loved and their future daughter-in-law!
However, Kelly was curious. Just what was Luna up to?
She had been keeping a close watch on Luna, and this odd behavior wasn’t just a one-time. thing.
Kelly had tried several times to sneak a peek at Luna’s phone, but Luna was too vigilant.
Then, Kelly took out a bag of white powder from her purse and examined it for a moment before discreetly stashing it in her sleeve.
Luna sat around in the living room for a while before taking her phone and heading to Josh’s study.
Kelly emerged from her room, made her way downstairs to the kitchen, and briefly checked on the busy chefs. Then, she went to the fridge, opened the door, and looked for something to drink.
When she spotted a dessert inside, she inquired, “Is this dessert for my sister-in-law?”
“Yes, it is,” the pastry chef replied.
She nodded, picked it up, and inspected it. Then, she told the chef, “Make me one from scratch too.”
“Sure.”

So, she put down the cake. When she pretended to take a bite, she swiftly pulled out a syringe from her sleeve.
After Kelly injected the liquid into the dessert, she gently withdrew the syringe, tucking it back into her sleeve. She then took some food, turned, and left.
In the afternoon, Kelly quietly opened the door to Josh’s study.
She found Luna slumped in front of the computer, fast asleep. Kelly approached her quietly.
Initially, she had wanted to grab Luna’s phone and see what mischief she was up to. Yet, when she saw the contents on the computer screen, she trembled with fury.
No wonder there had been a surge in online searches about Abigail and Sean being a couple. It turned out Luna had been behind these paid promotions, constantly throwing money at them.
Since she couldn’t deal with Kelly openly, she resorted to being sneaky behind her back.
Kelly took Luna’s phone, which was lying beside her, and unlocked it with Luna’s own fingerprint.
She searched through Luna’s phone but found no useful evidence.
Meanwhile, she discovered Luna’s drafted posts on the computer, mocking her as an ignorant woman. Kelly was so furious that she grabbed the nearby gla*s and splashed water. directly onto Luna’s face.
A startled Luna woke up in a daze. Kelly then promptly delivered a slap across her face.
“What are you doing?” Luna, suddenly wide awake, was furious. She had been slapped, and anger surged within her. She stood up abruptly, glaring at Kelly. “Did you drug me?”
She had never slept so deeply.
Today, she had dozed off before completing her task after having the dessert the housekeeper had sent.
“So, it was you all along, smearing me online. Well, now I have proof, and I won’t let you off the hook!” Kelly declared. She turned to her room, intending to grab her phone and call Lawrence and Vincent.
This time, Luna has dug her oum grave.
Alas, just as she turned, Luna grabbed a fistful of her hair.
Luna seized her hair at the roots, dragging her, and pressing her against the desk.

“What’s wrong with me smearing your name? Do you really think I’m scared of your dear old dad?” Luna pressed her down, a cold smirk on her face.
Kelly reached out to scratch Luna’s face.
Luna, in turn, lifted her other hand to grab Kelly’s face.
The two of them clashed in the study, with the computer on the desk getting knocked over.
Soon, the house staff came in, trying to pull them apart, but they failed.
Then, the butler panicked and quickly called Lawrence and Scarlett to come home.
“Ah!” At this moment, Kelly let out a piercing scream.
When Luna was finally pulled away with great effort by the staff, her nails had scratched. Kelly’s arm.
Blood immediately began to flow from Kelly’s arm, and she cried out in pain and distress.
The startled Luna quickly pushed the staff away and fled.
“What are you all standing around for? Go after her!” Kelly shouted, clutching her wounded.
arm.
Luna pushed past the staff and quickly ran downstairs.
She sprinted out of the Pearsons’ compound, gathering the strands of hair that were tangled around her fingers. Then, she also collected the blood and skin flakes from her fingers onto a tissue before she stored them in a bag.
Her heart was pounding now.
She swiftly hailed a pa*sing car and got in. Then, she took out her spare phone and messaged
a friend.
‘I’ve got the stuff. Meet me at the location I told you. If you haven’t heard from me and you’ve got the results, set up a timed email to send to Sean. Take care of yourself.
The response from her friend came quickly.
Once everything was sorted, she immediately headed to L. Moon.
Just an hour later, Josh gave her a call.
“Are you at L. Moon right now?” Josh’s voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Luna had been smearing Kelly online, and all of it had been uncovered. Even if Josh had a good temper, he couldn’t help but be furious about Luna’s actions.
“Yeah, I’m at L. Moon. Since I planned to confront her today, I have never once considered. the idea that we can continue to be together after this,” Luna said with an indifferent tone.
