Chapter 11
“Accompany me to the Graham Estate tonight, Grandpa wants to see you”
Abigail stared at the stack of canceled orders in her hands. She was already
extremely frustrated, to begin with, but hearing Sean’s voice now only added
fuel to her fury. Thus, she said indifferently, “I’m not in the position to visit the
Graham Estate.”
At the other end of the line, Sean was quiet for a few seconds before
ordering, “We’re not divorced yet. You cannot decide whether you want to go
or not.”
Due to certain reasons, Sean was raised by his grandparents, Colby Graham
and Lina Toth, and listened to everything they said. Therefore, he didn’t object
when they wanted him to marry Abigail. During three years of his secret
marriage to Abigail, his understanding of the obligations of a husband and a
wife, besides the monthly coitus, was visiting the Graham Estate regularly to
show Colby and Lina how blissful they were as a form of assurance.

Whoever made the elderly couple sad was Sean’s enemy.

If this call had happened any other time, she would have thought that he
was being self–centered and demanding again. Yet, right when her company
was in a crisis, he called and threatened her to go to the Graham Estate with
him.
She couldn’t help but let out a contemptuous chuckle. My three years of love
and dedication were for nothing. Not a single shard of it had touched Sean.
For Joan’s sake, he’s willing to go as far as exterminating me.
So, she took a deep breath and went straight to the point. “Will you solve the
crisis at the studio if I go to the Graham Estate with you?”
Sean agreed without even thinking twice. “Okay. I’ll pick you up tonight.” After
he hung up, his spirits were better than he imagined, and his lips even curved
upward unintentionally.
He rarely took the initiative to contact Abigail and he would usually ask his
assistant to contact her whenever Colby wanted him to visit with her.

However, he decided to make this call personally because she had been
3/6
throwing a tantrum recently. So, in his opinion, this call would serve as an out
for her.
Sean called an internal line and gave his order emotionlessly, “Find out what
issues L.Moon has encountered. There’s no need to inform me about
anything and just take care of it straight away.”
Before the day was over, more than half of the canceled orders at L.Moon
were restored. While Luna was still worried about the 2.8 million that they
owed to the factory, the customers with canceled orders had all returned to
her. They agreed to raise the price to compensate for the losses of the studio,
and some even directly transferred the final payment without further
prompting.
So, she turned to Abigail with a look that was mixed with surprise and
concern. “Did Sean do this?”
