Chapter 120 Making a Decision in Public

Sean walked in and first glanced at Abigail. Then, he turned to Joan behind him and said, “Speak for

yourself.”

She emerged from his back and glanced at Abigail and Luna before voicing, “Luna, I’m so sorry. I didn’t

know about what Miss Lowery did. When I mentioned that bag, I saw that she really liked it, so I sold it

to her at a lower price. I didn’t expect her to resell it at an original price…”

Nina bit her lip but did not say anything. Due to that, Abigail suspected that she might be trying to

take the blame herself.

“Well… I really like the watch you’re wearing. Would you sell it to me at a lower price?” Luna suddenly

smiled.

The watch on Joan’s wrist was a birthday gift from Sean, and she certainly would not sell it.

Joan bit her lip, tears immediately falling down her cheeks. She looked pitiful with her tearful eyes.

“Luna, I said those things this morning because I was eager and hot–tempered. I apologize for what I

said, but I promise you I had absolutely nothing to do with the video!”

Abigail stepped forward and questioned her, “Are you saying that the video was solely the work of

Nina?”

Sean watched Abigail silently. He had never known she could completely turn the situation around

in just a few hours. Was her compromise this morning just a tactical move or a test of his attitude?

Joan nodded repeatedly. “I truly had no involvement in this matter. I didn’t know what she

interpreted from it when I mentioned the bag.”

Abigail’s eyes were cold and distant, making her seem aloof. “The recording pen is still with me. I’ve

already posted the specifications of the recording pen on L.Moon’s official Instagram, and I’ve

contacted the manufacturer for detailed discussions.”

Joan did not understand what Abigail meant but looked bewildered, her inner panic growing.

She continued, “The button battery in the recording pen is rechargeable, and if it works 24 hours a

day, the pen can last for about a week. When Miss Smith discovered the recording pen, it still had

nearly two–thirds of its battery life. So, if we divide a week into three parts, when do you think the

recording pen was placed in her room?”

“Three days ago, Joan and the live broadcast team from the show entered Luna’s room for an

interview. At that time, she was sitting right next to Lamal

I saw the performance data for the recording pen on L.Moon’s official Instagram and screenshots of

their conversation with the pen’s official staff. They confirmed that it was the latest model. It’s fresh from

the warehouse, indicating that it is brand new!

‘So, based on the battery usage, we can determine it was Joan who placed it there! Why does she love

lying so much? Seriously, she looked so pitiful when she came in!

Why did Sean buy such an expensive bag for her? I just don’t understand. On one hand, she pretends

to be a fan of Alana and wants to gain fame through her designs. On the other hand, she puts a

recording pen in Alana’s room and collaborates with another designer to create a fake video to smear

her. What’s her problem? Does she have some kind of psychological issue?

The netizens were furious,

Having been exposed in public, Joan could not help but bawl her eyes out as she trembled, Kevin

stood on the side, his lips carrying a smile, but his expression showed some displeasure. What’s the

point of continuing with the fashion show now?

Luna’s eyes were filled with a cold smile as she glanced at Sean, who was staring intently at Abigail.

She spoke lazily, “Miss Quinn, please continue.”

Abigail nodded slightly and walked to a nearby worktable before showcasing the finished dress to the

netizens. Before the netizens could even exclaim at the exquisite design, they witnessed Abigail taking

a pair of scissors and cutting the dress in half at the waist right in front of Sean.

She raised her chin and looked at him, stating, “Mr. Graham, my boss has made it clear. We won’t

allow someone who tarnishes Alana’s reputation to wear her clothes because she’s simply unworthy.

Since this dress was made according to Joan’s measurements, it’s only right to destroy it.”

Sean’s hand clenched tightly without making a sound. Undoubtedly, Abigail was challenging him.

openly.

“Furthermore, Joan has tarnished Miss Smith’s reputation twice and even placed a recording device in

Miss Smith’s room to create a doctored video for malicious purposes. We demand that Joan issue an

immediate public apology. Otherwise, L.Moon will take legal action against her!” She threw the dress

on the ground and stepped on it. In all honesty, she would rather destroy the dress than let

Joan wear it.

At that moment, Joan’s legs gave out as she sat on the floor.

“Lastly, L.Moon Studio announces its withdrawal from the program. We are willing to compensate for

any breach of contract, and we hope that Mr. Graham and Mr. Stewart can understand Miss Smith’s

feelings of being slandered and allow her to take some time to recuperate,” Abigail

concluded politely and nodded to everyone.

Luna stood up, took her luggage behind the couch, and smiled faintly at everyone. “I appreciate all of

your care, but I’ve been deeply affected and cannot continue my creative work. Therefore, I’m

withdrawing from this program. Your understanding is appreciated.”

Meanwhile, Abigail took her phone, made a farewell gesture to the audience, and ended the

livestream. Then, she walked over to Luna, who had been waiting for her.
