Chapter 118 Clarification
Abigail returned to Luna’s room with a gloomy expression and found her sitting on the couch, lost in thought. Upon hearing the door close, Luna snapped out of her reverie and immediately looked at Abigail, asking, “What did he say?”
“He said that we should make Joan apologize and continue as planned, but I don’t want to let it go so easily,” Abigail said as she sat down beside Luna with a cold look in her clear eyes.
Luna looked at her, her gaze turning icy as well. “Do you wish to confront Joan? Won’t Sean blame
us for this?”
“Luna, don’t you think it’s because we’ve been afraid of this situation that Sean and Joan have been able to manipulate us? Being patient and accommodating hasn’t solved the problem,” Abigail said
calmly.
Luna gradually calmed down and replied in a low voice, “You’re right.”
Abigail continued, “Let’s wait for the results from the production team first. Once they’re out, we can plan our next move, but be prepared for the possibility of losing both money and reputation.”
Luna’s breath caught at the mention of losing everything. “It was Joan who pushed us to join the
show in the first place, and she’s the one causing us trouble now.”
“Luck doesn’t always favor one person,” Abigail said coldly.
After returning to her room, she took out the phone that Luna had slipped into her bag and saw the latest message. Immediately, she unlocked it with her password. As she read the text, her eyes
widened in astonishment.
At 10.00PM, Cameron returned with the original video footage while Kevin was also investigating
in secret.
Cameron handed the original video to Sean and said respectfully, “When Halopedia Entertainment
received this original video, it had already been edited.”
“How did they receive it?” Sean asked, his voice devoid of emotion as he stared at the original video
on his phone.
Cameron pursed his lips and replied, “Someone sent it to them via email, but when I checked, I found that the sender’s email had been deleted on the same day it was active. I asked some experts,
but they said there was no way to trace the sender after the email had been erased.”
“They’ve covered their tracks quite well,” Sean said with a cold smile. Afterward, he called Kevin, who quickly answered. “How’s your side progressing?” he asked with a hint of coldness.
Kevin hurriedly replied, “The prime suspects now are Nina and Damian. He claims that he couldn’t
sleep three nights ago due to work and sat in the garden all night. Then, he encountered Nina sneakily returning from the garden at 4.00AM.”
Sean frowned. “Why is it Damian again?”
“Damian told me a little secret. He said that he arranged with Luna to deliberately create a competitive atmosphere to use their absolute strength to eliminate Nina in the first round, as Luna believed that Nina’s design and character were subpar,” Kevin said in a lowered voice.
“Where are you that you can’t speak loudly?” Sean asked while sounding impatient.
Kevin cleared his throat. “I’m creating an atmosphere.”
“Go on,” Sean said while restraining his impatience.
Sean nodded, but his thoughts began to wander. Did Abigail ever have insomnia all night when she couldn’t come up with a design idea?
