The Spare Wife (Abigail Quinn and Sean Graham) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 Brazenly 

Abigail agreed with Luna. She felt powerless and angry. Suddenly, the office’s phone rang. It was someone from Fairy Meadow, so Luna picked it up right away. “Yes?” she asked coldly. 

Abigail huddled closer. 

“Miss Smith, it’s me. It’s about that case on the internet. Do you want to deal with it so we can post it on Twitter?” Howard asked. 

Luna was surprised. “Fairy Meadow isn’t complaining because of the scandal?” 

“We’re partners now. There’s no need to talk about that, and who even knows if it’s the truth. We just do what we need to do and make a statement about the scandal. There’s a launch event tonight,” Howard said nonchalantly. 

That scandal broke out the moment they struck a partnership. Howard knew that L.Moon’s enemies were behind this. 

“You don’t believe it?” Luna was surprised. 

Howard chuckled lightly. “You did say someone was trying to attack L.Moon. The fact they did this right before our partnership could officially begin means it’s part of their tactic.” 

“I see. I’ll make the statement. The event will go on as usual tonight.” Luna then hung up, feeling a 

lot better. 

Abigail heaved a sigh of relief as well, but before Luna even did anything, the videos online were quickly dealt with. L.Moon made a statement declaring that the video was made by Al and that they would investigate the matter. The statement sounded too formal as if the company didn’t care about the issue. If they had panicked, people would think the scandal was true. 

Not long after the statement was posted, much to Abigail’s surprise, the government’s official Twitter account released a video talking about how business owners would use AI to create videos to attack their competitors. She reposted the video right away and saw her fans’ replies. 

‘Miss Smith might not be too prominent, but L.Moon got this far thanks to her as well. I can’t believe someone would make this kind of video just to attack L. Moon. Just because she’s a woman, they think slut shaming will take her down, huh? 

The competitor is awful. I can’t believe the government’s not looking into this. If every successful businesswoman has to face this kind of video, no woman will start a business. Come on, find out who the culprit is. I’m shaking here.’ 

Disgusting. I’ve been following L. Moon, but I’m not a fan. Even I think this is disgusting. I feel angry on Miss Smith’s behalf. What kind of trash company would do this?” 

1/3 

Everyone was condemning the culprit online, and Abigail was moved. Even though the scandal did affect them a little, there were still many people who were on Luna’s side. 

The joint press release was an event important to Fairy Meadow and L.Moon. Howard was the one who got the venue, and L.Moon just had to play along. At night, Abigail and Luna reached the venue, but the moment they got out of the car, the reporters surrounded them. Abigail quickly stood in front of her friend. 

The reporters trained their cameras on Luna. One of the reporters quickly asked, “Miss Smith, is it true that the video is Al-edited? The person in the video looks just like-” 

“Are you questioning the government?” Abigail interrupted the reporter calmly. 

The reporter looked at Abigail, and he retorted, “The government only talked about the phenomenon. They didn’t say they released the video for Miss Smith. If anyone can deflect the truth with the pretext of ‘Al makes it, then they can twist the truth.” 

“Do you think you can humiliate me by saying that?” Luna sneered. 

Abigail looked at the reporter with scorn. “Who are you working for? They send a lowly scum like you on this job, eh?” 

The reporter looked upset by the comments. Before the other reporters could say anything, however, Abigail continued, “Now is not the time for interviews. Move away, or I’m calling security. I’ll summon you when we’re ready for questions.” 

She dragged Luna and tried to leave. The reporters went after them, but security stopped them. Before they could get far, someone shouted, “Mr. Graham came too.” 

Abigail and Luna stopped and turned around. They saw Sean coming out of his car. Cameron closed the door for him and followed him as he approached the ladies. When he approached them, Sean looked at the blocked reporters behind the ladies, and he asked Abigail, “You hired these third-rate reporters?” 

“I don’t know who they are,” Abigail answered without hesitation. 

“Deal with them, Cameron,” Sean ordered, then he went into the venue. 

Luna held Abigail’s hand. “Who invited him? How dare he brazenly come in?” 

“Howard, maybe,” Abigail muttered with uncertainty.
