The Spare Wife (Abigail Quinn and Sean Graham) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21
The young woman was dumbfounded. Though Alana’s designs were
expensive, she did not expect them to be so costly. Her face instantly flushed.
Meanwhile, Abigail had no intention of minding other people’s business, but
when the name ‘Alana’ was involved, she could not stand it anymore and got
up from the couch to approach the woman. “Miss Palmer, there are many
guests at this banquet, so why don’t you change into something new before
continuing this?”
She did not remember designing Joan’s dress, but the gown on the young
woman was her design. The butterflies on the hem of the dress were a
laborious task, but she had only sold it for 45 thousand. Joan asked for 120
thousand for her dress-simply wishful thinking!
“It’s you?” Joan looked at Abigail and immediately recognized her as the
assistant who helped her try on the wedding dress at L.Moon Studio. Also, she
was one of the two women Sean was looking at when they were at the
venue’s entrance. Feeling guilty and frustrated, she frowned. “Do you know
where we are? How can they let just anyone enter this place?”
East Joy Talent’s banquets were private and usually held to pave the way for
major entertainment programs. There were known directors, sponsors,
producers, and several fashion design teams attending this banquet. All
celebrities and influencers would try their best to show up to this event
because getting support from any of those resources meant they had found
the road to fame.
Joan could only rely on Sean to enter this banquet, so she dismissed the idea
that a mere store employee could attend such an event fully dressed and
still receive so many gazes. With that thought in mind, her expression
became serious as she beckoned a waiter making his rounds over and
ordered, “This woman came in uninvited. Aren’t you going to deal with her?”
When the waiter saw the situation, he immediately stopped in his tracks and
approached Abigail. “Miss, please show me your invitation.”
“Since I managed to come in, it means I’m invited.” Abigail gave him a cold
stare and furrowed her eyebrows. “It’s just that the invitation is not with me.”
Chapter 21 In Your Dreams
She had given hers to Luna to keep in her bag.
The waiter showed a short moment of hesitation while Joan had a sneer on
her face. “Is the invitation not with you, or did you barge in uninvited? Just
several simple pictures of tonight’s event are enough for an assistant like you
to make a fortune.”
Her words were not only intended to ridicule Abigail but also to imply to the
waiter. As if suddenly enlightened, the waiter pressured Abigail even more.
“Miss, please show me your invitation, or we’ll have to escort you out.”
Abigail did not intend to cause any commotion at Kevin’s event, so she took
out her phone to call Luna. However, she appeared busy as she did not pick
up her phone after several calls.
The young woman in the blue dress seemed to notice Abigail’s awkwardness
and spoke up apologetically, “It’s my fault. It has nothing to do with anyone
else. Miss, thank you for your help.”
At that moment, Joan scoffed. “You’re not only ignorant but also hungry for
attention. You embarrassed me and said everything’s fine? Who do you think
you are? Do you think anyone can just step on me?”
The waiter also seemed frustrated. “Miss, if you keep this up, I’ll have no
choice but to call for security.” Despite saying so, he did not give Abigail any
time to react before waving his hand at the security guard, ordering, “Take
this woman away and search her. Do not let her bring any information
related to this event outside, and make sure to check her phone, just in case
she has taken any pictures she shouldn’t have!”
The security guards strode over to Abigail, and the one in the lead sna tched
away her phone, cutting off her contact with the outside world. He even
unlocked her phone and tried to look at her photo gallery. They were still
trying to get an explanation before, but now, they were trying to invade her
privacy.
“How can you do that? You’re invading her privacy. It’s illegal!” Before Abigail
could say anything, the young woman spoke up for her and went over to
grab the phone. Sadly, she was pushed away.
Consequently, she lost her balance and almost fell as she was wearing high
heels. Abigail reached out to catch the young woman, whose face turned
gloomy. She looked at the men before her and ordered, “Bring me to see
Kevin. He will tell you the answer.”
Since he was the one who gave her and Luna their invitation, meeting him
would be easier than looking for Luna. However, the waiter smiled. “Miss,
everyone who tries to sneak in here is after Mr. Stewart. What do you think a
man like him does if he were to meet everyone?”
It was clear that they had experienced many cases of such tricks. As such,
the waiter waved his hand and urged the security guards, “Take her away,
quick.”
