Chapter 2
Abigail’s voice was crisp and clear, and her eyes were determined, but after
she said those words, Sean’s phone started ringing. He immediately whisked
out his cell phone, checked the caller ID, and frowned in concern before
picking up. “What happened?”
She couldn’t hear what the person on the phone said, but he replied, “I’ll be
right there.” Then, he left the bedroom without even so much as a glance at
Abigail.
A snort escaped her lips, but she said nothing as she decided to forgo sleep
for tonight. Then, she packed her stuff, printed out the divorce agreement,
and swiftly signed her name. Then, she placed them on the coffee table in
the living room along with a few cards and left their marital home.
Luna crossed her long legs as she leaned casually against the hood of the
car and straightened herself. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets in
surprise when she saw Abigail coming with just a tiny piece of luggage. “Are
you serious? That’s all of your belongings?”

Abigail deftly placed her luggage into the car trunk and climbed into the
driver’s seat. “All those are unnecessary things. At least, I’m free now,” she
declared, pretending to be relaxed.

“Did you really divorce him?”
Luna still sounded doubtful, but Abigail shrugged nonchalantly. “I’m done with
love and finally going to live my own life now.”
Luna didn’t question Abigail further. Instead, she turned the steering wheel
and cursed, “Damn it. Sean Graham is so rich. You should at least get a few
hundred million in assets for the divorce!”
Abigail pursed her lips indifferently. “His empire is his asset before marriage,
and I have no interest in coveting that.”
Frankly, Sean was a generous person when it came to money. If their
properties were strictly and legally divided, she would get way more than a
few hundred million, but it was never money that she wanted right from the
beginning.

Meanwhile, Luna hurriedly changed the topic the moment she fell silent. “It’s
great that you finally divorced him. We have a stack of orders in the studio
and my back is almost breaking from apologizing to our customers for the
delayed delivery. You truly have perfect timing. Otherwise, it’s not fair for me
to be the only busy bee! It’s gotten so bad that people are already thinking
that I’m the sole owner of the studio.”
Abigail teamed up with Luna to set up their own fashion studio and named it
LMoon right after she graduated, which was an amalgamation of the last
letter of her name and the meaning of Luna’s name, pronounced as
‘elle–moon‘,
With the combined efforts of a marketing genius and a design genius, their
studio took off quickly. Alas, when Abigail was at the peak of her career, she
chose to marry Sean and became a housewife, leaving Luna to take care of
LMoon while she only came up with the designs. She essentially placed her
career on the back burner all for the sake of an unhappy marriage.
Still, Luna succeeded in spending just a few years transforming LMoon into a

As the only designer and half–owner of L.Moon, Abigail was rebranded as ace
designer, Alana, by Luna and was renowned amongst the upper class.
Besides, it was a fact that she didn’t receive any monetary benefit from Sean
as per their divorce contract. So, the next thing she had to consider was her
livelihood.
Initially, she wanted to return to work at the studio and was stunned to hear
from Luna that they had several delayed orders. “Didn’t I pass a lot of designs
to you before this? Why do we still have delayed orders?”
Luna’s head throbbed at the mention of this. “You have no idea how difficult it
is to please those upper–class ladies and celebrities. The designs should be
different and so should the colors, so basically, we can only produce one
piece out of every design. The designs you gave me last time were only
enough for the previous orders. I got a little greedy and accepted a few
