Chapter 417 You Can Only Look Up to Him

After the ladies went into the venue, Howard and the top brass for Fairy Meadow came in. Sean and the others took up first-row seats. Behind them were people from the industry invited by Howard. The host was exceptionally happy. She was looking motivated when she got onto the stage.

The host smiled and announced, “Fairy Meadow is one of the earliest companies making local products, and now it’s partnering up with L.Moon, a young company. It’s a surprising cross- generational collaboration.”

Then, she looked at Howard. “Mr. Creed, what made you want to partner up with L.Moon?”

Howard looked at the camera and said, “Fairy Meadow has been fading from the people’s attention for a long time. It’s our honor to partner up with L.Moon.” He was obviously telling the media that Fairy Meadow wasn’t as strong as it used to be. Partnering up with L.Moon was them trying to regain their former glory.

The host nodded and continued, “When Fairy Meadow first introduced itself, it garnered the loyalty of many ladies and made a name for itself in its generation. Ten years have gone by since then.”

As Abigail listened to the host, an idea occurred to her. A moment of hesitation later, she got out her notebook and jotted her inspiration down.

Sean saw what she was doing, and he observed her Luna noticed what Abigail was doing, and she huddled closer to her furtively. When she saw what Abigail was writing, Luna looked surprised.

Howard looked at them and saw Luna’s surprise. He smiled. Josh saw the look on Howard’s face and the hands on his knees clenched.

Abigail finished writing and gave Luna a look that said, ‘What do you think?’

Luna gave her a thumbs-up and smiled brightly. The host then looked at her. “Miss Smith, what made you come up with the idea to partner with Fairy Meadow? Judging by the designs of their ladies’ fashion items, I can’t imagine your company sharing any similarities with them.”

Luna looked at Abigail. “If it’s a design question, you must ask the designer. I’m not an expert here.”

The host gave her a look of apology. “What gave you the idea then, Alana?”

“Fairy Meadow’s designs are looking for a breakthrough. We met during an exhibition, so it was fate, I think. Abigail responded calmly.

Luna saw the host looking at her, and she smiled. Moon is a new company. We need a veteran to icad us. It wasn’t an outstanding answer, but it showed respect to Fairy Meadow.

The event was a simple one, and it came to an end quickly. The reporters came to ask questions as well. The first few reporters asked regular questions, but when they were nearing the end of the session, one reporter raised their camera and asked Luna. “Is the video circulating online about you true? Your company has made a statement about it, but a lot of people who analyzed it said it wasn’t made by AI. Did you really sleep with someone to get the deal?”

Abigail looked at Luna. She didn’t show any displeasure, and she looked as cool as ever. Before Luna could answer, Howard said, “Then find the people who analyzed it. I’d like to see who’s the pro here. The government, or them.”

The other reporters scoffed at that question, but they were curious about the answer as well.

“The government didn’t say her video was fake. What proof do you have that they made the video to clear her name?” the reporter asked, sounding rather brave.

Abigail stood up and looked at the reporter. “Everything you have said today is evidence we can use to sue you. Unless you can find the guy who analyzed the video and claimed that it was true, you’ll be taking all responsibility.”

That shut the reporters up.

Sean looked at the reporter and whispered to Cameron, “Do you remember what he looks like?” Cameron understood what he was trying to say, and he nodded, staring at the reporter.

When the reporter was going to ask more questions, Josh stood up. “Did you ask that stupid question out of your insecurity? Just because you’re an old guy who can only make a living by asking stupid questions, do you think all successful women sleep their way to the top?”

The reporter went red, angered by that comment.

“People like you will never break free from the bottom. No matter how you degrade a successful woinan, you’re still a failed reporter. Someone like you shouldn’t be a reporter, got it?” Josh mocked after the reporter kept quiet.

Abigail was surprised that he got so angry on behalf of Luna.

Luna coughed and said, “Thanks.” She looked at the camera. “A lot of times, women like me have to face a lot of questions and degrading remarks. I’m telling you now that they’re trying to cover up for their insecurity, incompetence, and indolence by throwing insults We don’t have to care about them because they only have one chance to show their faces to us. And then, we’ll be something they can never reach.”
