Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 253

“Oh, Abby…” Chloe’s voice is the first to crackle through the speaker. “I’m so sorry we can’t be there. This food poisoning has us all in bed.”

“But we watched the whole show,” Daisy chimes in, her voice hoarse. “You did so well, Abby.”

“I can’t believe you were sabotaged.” John’s voice is stern, even a little angry. “Maybe it’s a good thing I wasn’t there. I would’ve beaten the pulp out of that little shit Daniel. Would’ve gotten myself arrested.”

“Same,” Leah adds. “Trust me, Abby, everyone can tell that he’s a little snake. Just you wait; he’ll get his comeuppance.”

I swallow hard, my raw emotions forming a lump in my throat. “You guys,” I say, my voice wavering more than I would like it to, “you didn’t need to watch all of it. And I lost anyway. It doesn’t matter anymore.”

“Are you kidding?” Ethan’s voice crackles through, although his face is frozen due to a bad connection. “It does matter, Abby. Everyone was rooting for you. You were a star.”

I glance at Karl, who nods slowly. “Abby, if you had checked your phone, you would know,” he says. “Social media is on fire right now. Hashtags about you are already cropping up: #justiceforabby. People loved you, and they’re pissed.”

Karl’s words send me spiraling. It’s all I can do not to stagger backwards. All I can do is lean my hand on the wall to steady myself, grasping my necklace with my other hand. “R-Really?”

Karl nods, and so does everyone else on the screen. “Yes,” he says. “Abby, this sabotage will come to light. I’m sure of it.”
