Chapter 7
Abigail’s eyebrows twitched when she heard Sean’s slightly insulting remark.
He is free to attend the meeting with Joan and accompany her to try on a
wedding dress, but when it comes to finalizing our divorce settlement, he is
annoyed by having to wait another 20 minutes! Damn! He needs to get
things straight! It is I who decided not to humiliate him and Joan by
voluntarily ending our marriage, not the other way around!
When she thought of this, she attempted to calm herself down by taking a
deep breath. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door from the other end of
the phone. “Sean, you didn’t go to the City Hall at all, did you?” Abigail
instantly changed the topic.
“Do you honestly think everyone has the habit of going back on their words
like you?” Sean scoffed coldly.
When Abigail heard what he said, she became certain that he wasn’t at the
City Hall. “Okay then. Take a picture of the City Hall front entrance and send it
to me-”

Sean immediately hung up the phone before she could finish her sentence.
So, she tossed her phone aside as she cursed in a low voice, “Ugh! Sc*mbag!”
As for Luna, who was tidying up the clothes she had changed halfway, she
joined in and rudely ragged at Sean as well. “What sort of undignified thing
did he do again?”
A still fuming Abigail replied waspishly, “God knows! I admit that it’s my fault.
that I’m running late, so I have patiently asked him to wait a while. It turns out
that he, too, didn’t go to the City Hall. Yet, he has the audacity to lose his
temper!” Hah! He thinks he has the right to do whatever he wants while I
don’t, eh?!
As soon as Abigail said that, Luna received a message on her phone. She
picked it up and took a look at the message before rolling her eyes with
contempt. Afterward, she handed her phone to Abigail, asking her to read it
too. “Sean is paying a lot of money to reserve an appointment with you the
day after tomorrow.”

Chapter 7 Busy With Widowhood
Well, to be precise, Sean wanted to meet Alana. Well, well. For someone who
couldn’t wait another 20 minutes for me, this b*stard sure has plenty of time
to make an appointment to meet Alana.
Such thoughts made Abigail nearly crush the phone. Her gaze turned chilly
as she said, “I’m busy with widowhood!”
At present, she only had one thought in her mind, which was divorce. I need
to immediately finalize our divorce!
So, Luna retrieved her phone to play with it for a second before quoting
Abigail’s statement and replying to her assistant.
After that, she placed her phone down and analyzed the situation. “Sean
wants to meet you probably because he wants you to make a dress for Joan.
East Joy Talent will hold a fashion gala next month, and I heard she is also on
the list. Considering how private this event is, I suppose Sean has spent a
large sum of money just to get her in.”
Perhaps she was numb at this point, for she no longer felt as heartache as
Chapter 7 Busy With Widowhood
before when she heard Luna’s words. She merely twitched the corner of her
lips in disdain. Of course, he spends heavily on this. After all, not only is he
getting Joan in, but he is also looking for dresses designed by Alana to aid
her.
When Luna saw that Abigail was showing no reaction, she couldn’t hold back
her temper and slammed her hand hard on the table. “Are you for real?!
You’re actually allowing his mistress to bully you?!”
Meanwhile, Abigail remained expressionless. “If you have an idea to make
Sean go bankrupt, I don’t mind joining in.” It takes two to tango. Joan won’t
stand a chance to interfere with our marriage if Sean hasn’t decided to cheat
on me. Ultimately, Sean was the one who failed to stay loyal to our marriage.
Besides, why should I downgrade myself by quarreling with a mistress who
doesn’t even know who I am?
Abigail wiped her face and hurriedly changed the subject when she saw that
Luna was like a dog on a bone, refusing to let this matter go. “Didn’t you
mention an important client last time?”

Luna replied in a lukewarm manner, “Oh, it’s East Joy Talent. The boss
happens to be in Pendorf today, so he wants to meet you and discuss some
details. But I have yet to say yes.”
East Joy Talent–an entertainment agency that houses many well–known
A–list actresses. Their celebrities constantly attend various fashion events,
awards ceremonies, and various parties throughout the years. As a result,
their demand for dress rentals is way higher than their peers. Forget next
year, our entire studio’s reputation will surely reach a higher level if we
manage to cooperate with them. As soon as this thought crossed Abigail’s
mind, she instantly cheered up. “What are we waiting for? Only an idiot would
let go of an opportunity to earn more money! Come! Let’s go now!”
Luna rolled her eyes and hit upon an idea when her eyes laid on Abigail’s slim
waist.
At 2.00PM, Abigail and Luna arrived downstairs of the East Joy Talent’s Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
building.
Just as Luna was about to park the car, a dashing blue supercar, which was

diagonally behind them, drifted and drove toward the parking space that she
had seen.
This caused Luna to panic as she instinctively stepped on the gas pedal.
Like a shot, the two cars hit each other with a loud bang.
