    Seeing everyone’s silence, Alfie suddenly chuckled and said, “What’s wrong? Are there no issues with


    taxes? I’ve inquired and heard that Fairy Meadow has evaded a few hundred million in taxes over the


    past few To continue running thepany, these taxes must be paid. And we need to find out where


    this


    years. money from tax evasion ended up.”


    “Mr. Willis, you don’t need to worry about paying the taxes. Fairy Meadow can manage to pay them.


    You’re investing now just to help L.Moon?” Howard looked at Alfie with an unfriendly attitude.


    With a grin, Alfie replied, “Of course, it’s to help L.Moon. As for whether it’s an equity investment, that


    depends on their decision.”


    Howard nced at the shareholders, who exchanged looks with one another.


    Finally, Dominic Baker spoke up, “Ms. Quinn and the Pearson Family have a history in the past. Even


    though your investment is helpful this time, there might be future troubles. Fairy Meadow is a well-


    established brand with a history of over a century. We won’t willingly let it go down in infamy.”


    “An established brand should be able to withstand storms. The internal issues at Fairy Meadow are


    significant, and shifting the me to L.Moon is not right, is it? Even without them, Fairy Meadow will


    restart after some time. Do you really believe there won’t be any underhanded dealings against you


    behind. your back? By not resolving your internal issues, can you safely ovee them?” Damon


    asked without much emotion.


    Abigail listened calmly. However, she had never really considered involving Alfie. Behind Alfie was


    Sean. and the fact that he and Damon hade together today made her suspect Sean’s involvement


    in the background.


    Seeing the shareholders’ displeased expressions, Howard responded, “Fairy Meadow will certainly


    address these matters in due course. However, the feud between the Pearsons and L.Moon will


    continue, and Fairy Meadow will remain a target for that family.”


    Luna looked at him and asked, “So, how do you propose to resolve this?”


    Standing up, Abigail looked at him and stated, “L.Moon will have conflicts with manypanies in the


    future. If Fairy Meadow is so averse to trouble, return the investment and breach-of-contract money to


    L.Moon before you pay the taxes.”


    She did not believe the Pearsons could provide Fairy Meadow with that much money. Anyone with a bit


    of intelligence, like Howard, knew not to escte things with L.Moon. Even though the Pearson Family


    had helped Fairy Meadow with the tax and investment funds this time, what could guarantee their


    future development?


    Luna looked at Howard, and though she had some expectations for him initially, she decided it was


    better not to have any anticipation at all upon reflection. Fairy Meadow hade this far for a reason,


    and the obstacle was likely the conservative board and Howard, who had retreated midway.


    Before this, he had been willing to face things together with L.Moon despite being targeted, but Luma


    also knew that she had a role in this. Lately, the couple had argued too much about these matters. Any


    goodwill they had for each other in the beginning had already been worn away by the bickering Now,


    he wanted to distance himself from L. Moon, perhaps to avoid further arguments with her.


    He took a deep breath and did not answer immediately Instead, he contemted for a while before


    saying. “Tm content working with L. Moon There’s no need to terminate our cooperation immediately


    As long as you resolve the conflicts between you and the Pearsons, our cooperation should continue.”

    Of course, he could not expect the Pearson Family to help Fairy Meadow. In theory, the Pearsons were


    now themon enemy of both L.Moon and Fairy Meadow, so it was safer to align with L.Moon than


    side with the Pearson Family.


    “Mr. Creed, no matter what, I hope you’ll think carefully. Fairy Meadow is a well-established brand, and


    choosing the wrong side will be a fatal and final blow,” Abigail said, then prepared to leave with Luna.


    Luna nced at Howard, then stood up and followed Abigail as she left.

    Simrly, Alfie and Damon followed the twodies out. After leaving Fairy Meadow, Damon said, “I’ll


    give you a piece of advice; there’s no need to save Fairy Meadow. Let them coborate with the


    Pearson Family, and I bet it will be bankrupt within a month. When that happens, you can acquire the


    brand. faster.”


    Abigail looked at him. “In that case, we don’t need any funding now. Let’s see how Fairy Meadow


    resolves its issues.”


    Alfie raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Indeed, let’s give Fairy Meadow a chance.” He said this on the


    surface but clearly understood her intentions.


    As the four prepared to leave, Howard’s voice came behind them. “Miss Smith, let’s talk.”


    Luna stopped. “Wait for me in the car, Abigail.” She also wanted to make it clear to him. After all, the


    situation hade to this point, and she did not want to force an ongoing entanglement.


    Abigail looked at her with some concern.


    “It’s fine. I’m not that fond of him anyway,” Luna whispered before heading toward Howard.


    Alfie seemed surprised. “They dating?”


    “You couldn’t tell?” Damon said quietly.


    “I’ve never been in love, so how’d I know?” Alfie muttered.


    Abigail watched Luna’s retreating figure for a moment before heading back to where the car was


    parked. “Mr. Copper, how did you know that we were having a meeting with Fairy Meadow here?” she


    asked Damon while walking.


    He had intended to keep it a secret, but Alfie immediately answered, “Oh, I don’t want to hide it from


    you. Sean told us to attend. We’re both locals here in Capitalis, and participating a little can be helpful


    to 1.Moon!”
