“Alright. Let’s put these useless things behind us. There are still a few days
before the banquet, so hurry up and get to work. We’ll worry about the rest
around her and sat before the table.
In the meantime, Luna sighed when she saw Abigail working so hard. “You’re
right. It’s been busytely, and the dresses have yet to be dispatched for our
clients. Even so, there are still several of them waiting to be modified. We do
have no time to waste.”
Just like what Luna expected, L.Moon was bustling the whole time before the
banquet. Sean never came to look for Abigail, who was d about it since
she had no time to attend to him.
They finally felt relieved when they were well–dressed and stood before the
courtyard where East Joy Talent held the banquet.
It was extremely hard to earn that 2.8 million, and she somewhat regretted

her stubborn decision to take nothing away after divorcing Sean. She should
have asked that b*stard topensate her.

tugged on Abigail’s arm, excitedly pulling her forward and handing her two
invitations. “Kevin has sent us new invitations with both our names. We’re now
guests and don’t have to worry about anyone.”
Abigail added, “Keep these. We’re now people who have attended private
events.”
Luna joked, “Credits to him for being a good person. He’s way more reliable
than Sean, who always chooses others over us.”
East Joy Talent stood up to its name for being the best entertainment
simrly to huge events like the Emmy Awards. All the tycoons from various
industries were gathered here.
Just as Abigail took a step forward, she heard a ruckusing from behind

her. When she turned around, she saw Joan in a ck high–split dress exiting
the car with Sean in a ck suit.
Tonight, Joan had switched her usual sweet look for a more stunning one,
with one side of her hair tucked behind her ear. Also, she wore an
eye–catching red ruby ne around her neck.
Looking at the reporters madly squeezing toward the entrance, Abigail could
not help but feel ridiculed. She and Sean had been married for three years,
but he had never brought her to any asion like this. Previously, she
thought it might be because he disliked public events. Now that she thought
of it, it was simply because he disliked her.
Luna could not hold back her criticism. “That b*stard couple. How dare they
show up here!”
“Let’s go.” Abigail swept her gaze across them and looked away. Then, she
held the hem of her dress and entered the venue with her head high. As she
moved quickly, she did not notice the deep gaze of the man behind her.

Joan sensed something strange going on with Sean, so she followed his gaze
and noticed two slender figures in front of them. The one in a feathered
halter dress was especially stunning as her waist looked so slim that it might
break if held too tightly. In addition, there was a lc butterfly tattooed on the
exposed skin of her back, and it seemed to be fluttering with every step the
woman made.
Even a woman like her was attracted to her, let alone Sean. A trace of
possessiveness shed in her eyes as she linked arms with him. “Sean, what
are you looking at?”
“It’s nothing.” He buttoned his coat andposed himself before urging
gently, “Let’s head inside.”
Seeing that he did not mention anything, Joan sensibly stopped asking and
held his arm as they entered the venue.
Although it was April, the night was still rather chilly. Luna came here with a
task to promote their brand, and Abigail was still feeling unwell after
recovering from her fever, so she found a quiet corner to have some time

alone while Luna went around, socializing with the other guests.
Right after Abigail seated herself, she heard a familiar voice not far away.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Turning her head toward the voice, she saw Joan standing before a young
woman in a decorative velvet dress, holding her wet and dripping hem with
obvious wine stain.
“I’m sorry, Miss Palmer. It wasn’t intentional.” The young woman hurriedly put
down the wine ss and grabbed some tissues to wipe down Joan’s dress.

However, Joan stepped back andined, “Don’t move. It’s already dirty.”
The young woman’s hand was left awkwardly in midair. “I’m so sorry. I have a
clean dress in my caravan. Would you like to change?”
“Who wants to change into your clothes?” Joan was furious.
The young woman was at a loss after being reprimanded, and the

Therefore, the young woman straightened her back and asked carefully,
“Then, what would you like me to do?”
“Compensate for it.” Joan was growing impatient. “Sean had L.Moon
custom–made this dress for me. You know na has stopped receiving
custom–made orders because her husband passed away, right? It was
difficult for Sean to get her to make me this dress.”
The young woman’s eyes widened. “H–How much is this dress?”
“120 thousand.”
