reassuring smile, her eyes reflecting understanding and empathy.
She had been struggling with depression and had pushed herself to stay upte. Thus, her fatigue was evident in the weary lines of her face.
After she disappeared into the hallway leading to her room, the once lively living room fell into a hushed stillness, broken only by the sound of
Abigail''s footsteps as she approached the coffee table.
Reaching for a bottle of wine, she poured herself a generous ss.
"The bacsh from the public this time is unprecedented. While there''s usually room for redemption after causing harm, the loss of life would change
everything for L.Moon," Josh, whe was seasoned in the business world, remarked, his tone reflecting the weight of the situation.
Abigail reflected on her journey to fame and fortune. Her words carried a sense of eptance and resignation as she spoke softly, "I''ve pondered this
scenario before—riding the wave of sess, umting followers. But now, faced with the harsh reality of the consequences, I understand that it''s
time to take responsibility.”

it dwindle?” she asked softly.
"Even the most enduring of phenomena experience their ebbs and flows," Abigail responded calmly. "When that time arrives, L.Moon will meet its
fate. Frankly, I''m feeling rather weary. Perhaps it’s an opportune moment for me to take a much-needed break.”
Tears threatened to spill from Scarlett''s eyes, yet she stifled them as she did not wish to burden Abigail further.
Lawrence offered a semnce offort. "It''s alright. Trends in fashion are notoriously fleeting. The fact that L.Moon has endured for so many years
is a testament to your prowess."
Despite Abigail''s heartfelt apology, L.Moon''s predicament remained unchanged.
Overnight, clothes were returned, bills were contested, and once-loyal online fans turned into fervent critics to plot the downfall of L_ Moon. Even the
production teams coborating with L.Moon found themselves subjected to menacing threats.

Finally. Cindy took the stage by bravely leading with an apology and acknowledging her own part in exposing Danielle''s past actions during middle
and high school.
With tears welling in her eyes, she
stood before the camera, her voice
trembling withremotion as she
recounted the tragic tale. "The girl
Danielle tormented in high school??
She was‘the one who truly earned''a
coveted spot at the Capitalis’ tep art
college. Danielle robbed her of that

into despair until she feltthere was
no way out but to end her own life.
While Danielle lived carefree for
years, why should we forget the pain
she inflicted just because she''s no
longer here?"
Abigail was stunned. She was unaware of this fact about Danielle''s past. Without hesitation, she dialed Cindy''s number.
Cindy answered immediately, her voice still carrying the weight of her earlier confession.
"I''m truly sorry, Miss na. I couldn''t bear to keep it to myself any longer. I''ve known about these things for a while now. I chose to only reveal
Danielle''s bullying, but I never imagined it would end in such a tragedy for that poor girl." Cindy''s wards were filled with regret and sorrow.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.

As Abigail absorbed the full extent of the situation, a weary sigh escaped her lips.
After the call ended, she sank into her office chair, and her gaze drifted aimlessly through the window, lost in thought.
Sean noticed her distant demeanor when he gently pushed open the door to her office. As such, concern was etched on his features. Stepping inside,
he approached her and leaned against the desk as he inquired softly, his voiceced with genuine cancem, "What''s weighing on your mind?"
Abigail raised her eyes to meet his, and heavily, frustration evident in her tone. "To think that Danielle harbored such darkness within her... Has she
ever disyed any semnce of remorse over the years?”
Sean''s response was solemn, and his voice was tinged with resignation. “Remorse is a luxury few wrongdoers afford themselves. Instead, they
merelyment their failure to conceal their transgressions more effectively.”
He moved closer and took a seat on the edge of her desk while his gaze drifted downward.
Abigail cast a nce at the clock and changed the subject. "Have you had lunch? Let''s grab a bite to eat togetherter."
Sean shook his head, his hand instinctively reaching out to gently tousle her hair. "No, I flew here in a rush. But don''t fret. This too shall pass.”
