    Damian nced at Victor before speaking up, “Miss Palmer and Miss Lowery suggested that we unite t

    nce to Luna and Abigail.


    of way


    Sean turned his attention to Luna and inquired, “What’s your response to this, Luna?”


    “I’m here to assert that the video is entirely fabricated. You’re skilled at discerning the truth, Mr. Graham


    , aren’t you? You invited me, and though I initially declined, you threatened me to sign the contract. No


    w, my reputation is at stake. I demand an exnation.” Luna maintained herposure, her gaze shar


    p and unwavering.


    Sean narrowed his eyes. Despite knowing na’s involvement in the show, he believed Luna was over


    ly assertive. He wondered whether she and Abigail had nned this confrontation. He asked,


    “What action do you propose we take?”


    Luna exchanged nces with Abigail, who stepped forward, exuding a tranquil demeanor. “I am speaki


    ng on behalf of


    my employer. First, once the truth is ascertained, we request that Joan Palmer switch ces with Nina’


    s model. na will not design for those who defame her. Comply, or face consequences.”


    Joan grew indignant, retorting, “How dare you? Do you have any idea who you’re talking to?”


    Abigail looked at her sternly, stating, “Secondly, Joan Palmer must humbly apologize to na. If not, sh


    e must create an apology video and share it online, confessing her nderous actions.”


    Joan turned to Sean, her eyes welling up. She seemed aggrieved, uttering, “She’s just an assistant,


    Sean. She can’t do this to me.”


    “She can because she’s my assistant. Who do you think you are, a nobody, a sh in the pan?


    Perhaps others can’t do this to you, but she can. She’s my assistant.” Luna erupted in fury. She


    wasn’t backing down, even if her enemy was Sean.


    Kevin noticed Sean’s icy demeanor and smiled. “We will thoroughly investigate the matter to determine


    if na indeed purchased the designs or if this is a case of nder. We will ensure a fair


    Joan had never felt so humiliated since getting involved with Sean. Tears welled up in her eyes.


    Abigail nced at Sean coldly. Seeing her expression, Sean remained silent and looked at Kevin.


    Kevin approached Joan, offering his handkerchief to wipe her tears. “You should not have intervened. T


    he production team would have handled everything. Come with me.” He led Joan


    away.


    Abigail knew Sean had signaled Kevin to do this. He wanted to ensure Joan could leave without further


    damage. She clenched her fists, shooting a meaningful nce at Luna.


    Luna quickly approached and held Abigail’s hand, guiding her into their room.


    The director instructed everyone to return to their rooms. Still in a state of distress, he approached


    Kevin. “What about the runway?”


    “It’s proceeding as nned. The show starts at two. We still have time,” Kevin replied solemnly. He had


    chosen that time slot anticipating potential issues, and his prediction proved urate.


    Once everyone had left, Sean entered Luna’s room. He looked at Luna and asked, “What if I insist that


    you design Joan’s attire and forbid her from apologizing to you?” he demanded, his voice as cold as a


    winter breeze, enough to set anyone on edge.


    Luna nced at Abigail, seeking her support. Abigail remained silent, prompting Luna to consider her o


    ptions before meeting Sean’s icy gaze. “Then, I’m quitting the show. Sue me. Sue L.Moon. You can get


    up to your dirty tricks and stop anyone from doing business with us.”

    Abigail overheard this. She said, “We need to talk, Sean. Privately.” She walked toward the door.


    Sean followed Abigail out without even looking at Luna.


    Once the duo went outside, Luna stumbled back and copsed on the couch, realizing her legs shook


    uncontrobly.


    After entering her room, Abigail closed the door. Sean wanted to ask why she had concealed her


    true identity, but he struggled to find the words, unsure where to begin.


    She looked at him and took a deep breath. Eventually, she said, “Luna is not a scam artist, Sean. I


    can vouch for that with my name.”


    He met her gaze and responded calmly, “I trust you. However, Joan is also a victim


    here. She’s not the sharpest person, and it’s understandable that she would sever ties with na swiftl


    y to avoid being implicated in the scandal.”


    She frowned, retorting, “You’re still defending her? You know what she’s attempting. Or are you sugges


    ting you can turn a blind eye to her actions?”


    “I’ve defended you too. If I hadn’t helped you when she found out something was wrong with the draft t


    he first time, you think you could’ve gotten out of the mess?” he countered.


    Abigail’s eyes turned icy as she stared at Sean, her lips tightly pursed.
