Chapter 585 The Opportunity Will Come
Okay, she saw Twitter too. “He didn’t do anything to me. It’s the other way around. I’m the PIC for HQ. There’s no way he could do anything to me,” said Abigail nonchalantly. She didn’t care at all.
Luna was worried. “Did he do something stupid? Like, bad stupid? I knew he was a short- sighted guy who couldn’t stay patient. Can’t believe he’s back to his old self after only
months.”
“Me neither. If I’d known he was this kind of guy, I’d have never let him be Fairy Meadow’s CEO,” said Abigail, a little regretful.
“Can’t you terminate him?” asked Luna.
“There’s a contract in effect, and he did help us. If it weren’t for his greed, we couldn’t have taken over Fairy Meadow,” said Abigail. Ugh, now the double-edged sword is coming for us.
Luna sighed. “So, what happened between you two? How’d you get into this argument?”
“He took some bribes and fell for their extortion. The lady wants to sue him. With how popular Fairy Meadow is, if its CEO is found embroiled in a S**ual a*sault charge, L.Moon and Fairy Meadow will be hit hard,” said Abigail, resigned.
The internet had high demands for brands that were doing business. The netizens. wouldn’t stop their crusade until Howard was terminated, but the contract stopped them. from doing that.
Luna cursed, “Why the f*ck does he like money so much? Doesn’t he care about his reputation? He gets a ton of money from Fairy Meadow’s dividends anyway. The company’s raking it in. He thinks that’s not enough?”
“He’s greedy. No one’s going to say no to more money,” said Abigail coolly.
Sean listened in silence.
The call came to an end. Abigail stood up and yawned. “Let’s go home.”
“There might be an opening coming soon. If it’s extortion, then there must be proof of it,” said Sean slowly.
Abigail said, “Maybe. I hope Howard learns a lesson from this. I hope he gets cursed after this
gets exposed. Then we’ll clarify things in the end.”
“We can do this. I can tell Xavien to send someone and liaise with the girl who wants to sue. This kind of extortion needs money to run. If we can pay the lady more, she’ll sell out
1/3
Adam.” Sean knew how to deal with matters like this.
Abigail looked at him. “I expected nothing less from a cunning schemer like you.”
Sean smiled. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“If Xavien’s men can deal with this, I’ll pay them,” said Abigail.
“Sure. You have his number. Just ask him what happens when you want to know.” Sean didn’t decline. He knew Abigail didn’t want to owe him anything.
They came out of the restaurant. Sean turned around. “I’ll stay at the hospital tonight to keep an eye on Analise. You get back to the company and have some rest. Come back. tomorrow to take my place.”
Abigail nodded. She called Cameron to come with her.
Cameron got into the car, and Abigail asked, “So what’s the deal with you and Isla?”
“She’s not picking up,” said Cameron nonchalantly, as if it wasn’t his business to care. Abigail was in no place to comment, so she grunted.
Eventually, they came back to the company, and Cameron couldn’t hold back. He asked, “Say, why wouldn’t she pick up her phone?”
“I thought you didn’t care,” said Abigail.
Cameron scratched his head. “But Analise keeps telling me to call her.”
“If you don’t like her, then don’t listen to Analise. She’s going to nag me and Sean about something else anyway. You don’t have to worry so much,” said Abigail nonchalantly.
Cameron had no argument against that. “Yeah, I know.” In the end, he sighed.
“If you can’t let her go, you should put more effort into it. You know your boss isn’t playing around when it comes to this, right?” Abigail smiled.
Cameron scratched his head. “That’s different. You guys used to be married, and he loves you.”
“Hey, love can be nurtured. Love at first sight doesn’t happen a lot of times,” said Abigail. She went into the restroom to take off her makeup, and Cameron followed her.
“People are weird. When she doesn’t care about me, I want to know more about her. When she does care about me, I think her parents’ demands are annoying.”

“They raised her, after all. Not easy raising a kid. She went to college and is a postgrad. There are good men courting her, after all. I’m sure there are, but why do you think she wanted you right after she met you?” asked Abigail gently.
Cameron said hesitantly, “Because I’m handsome?”
“Well, conventionally speaking, you are, but you think there aren’t hot guys on her campus?” asked Abigail.
Cameron thought that was true. There were a ton more guys more handsome than him on the campus. He wasn’t the hottest guy around.
“And do you think she chose you because she’s blind?” Abigail asked.
Cameron said nothing.
“She really thinks you’re a good match for her. Sometimes, luck plays a factor in this.” Abigail looked at Cameron.
There was nothing more to say after that.
Cameron went to the office and took out his phone. He looked at Isla’s name in the contacts, sinking deep into his thoughts. A while later, he realized he was sighing.
