The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 467 He’s a Businessman After All

A smirk played on Josh’s lips when Luna said that. Do you have such a good impression of

me?”

“You’re my man. Why would I have agreed to date you in the first place otherwise?” she replied with a smile.

“In that case, do you prefer me or Howard?” Josh couldn’t help but be bitter about the fact that she once dated Howard.

Luna felt the romantic atmosphere in the car had been instantly ruined by the question.

She pushed him away and complained with a hint of annoyance. The last thing you should do in a relationship is bring up exes?

“I don’t have an ex-girlfriend. You’re the only one I have now and will have in the future.” Josh pouted with a tinge of grievance.

Luna looked at him and asked, “Do you think I don’t deserve you, then?”

“No. I just think Howard doesn’t deserve you, and that bothers me,” Josh lamented bitterly

Luna licked her lips and leaned in to whisper in his ear, “Young men have good stamina.”

Josh blushed a little and turned to look at her.

Raising a brow, she continued, “I don’t compromise when it comes to these things. If you can’t accept it, then I can’t help it

“I can accept it, and I really like how honest you are.” Josh responded and reached out to hold her hand.

Luna believed his words, and Josh was very happy that she could be open with him, even if he knew her acceptance wasn’t entirely pure in motive.

After walking a short distance, Abigail started feeling cold and was unable to continur anymore, so she stopped at the side of the road to book a cab

Just as she fished out her phone, a car pulled up in front of her

Cameron winded the car window down and revealed a big toothy grin as he asked. “Do you

need a ride, Ms. Quinn?”

Approaching his car, Abigail took a deep breath and questioned, “How long have you been following me?”

“Not long. Please get in!” Cameron invited with a cheerful grin.

Abigail opened the car door and was about to get in when she turned her head and saw Sean sitting in the back seat.

“Why are you here?” Abigail asked with a hint of disgust, refusing to get into the car.

“This is my car. Why can’t I be here?” Sean retorted.

“Aren’t you on my side? Why are you driving his car?” Abigail furrowed her brows and questioned Cameron.

Looking somewhat embarrassed, he replied bashfully, “I’m on your side, of course! I wanted to pick you up, but I can’t afford a car with a license in Capitalis, so I had to borrow from an acquaintance.

Abigail gave him a skeptical look that seemed to say, ‘You expect me to believe you?”

Cameron chuckled. “Come on in already. It’s pretty cold out there.”

Abigail got into the car reluctantly, just as Sean thought that she wasn’t going to accept the ride. To his surprise, she walked to the back seat, opened the door, and took a seat.

As soon as she settled in, Cameron started the engine.

“What are you planning to discuss with Howard tomorrow?” she asked Sean.

“You can discuss whatever you want with him. I’m just there to stress him out,” he answered.

Abigail hummed and then asked, “Do you know the exact amount of the tax issue?”

“Around 15 million, I suppose. After all, it’s a penalty, not just back taxes. If we want to resolve the tax issue, my suggestion is that either you or Luna should take the position of L.Moon’s CEO, Sean stated with a meaningful gaze.

Abigail fell silent for a moment before uttering. “Howard possesses strong management skills, Luna’s main focus is on L.Moon, and I oversee the design department. I wouldn’t be qualified to serve as the CEO

“In that case, we’ll have to go with plan B. We’ll need to redistribute the shares, and whoever saves Fairy Meadow this time should receive the most shares and have the most say. Even if the other shareholders vote, it may be enough to keep L.Moon in our hands,” Sean

continued.

This time, L.Moon suffered because the shares they held were too few.

“But they won’t agree to it, and they’ll immediately inform the Pearsons. Once the Pearsons find out that we want Fairy Meadow, they will definitely help them resolve the tax issue.” Abigail frowned.

Sean’s lips curved upward. “That’s why we need to talk to Howard.”

Abigail looked at him, puzzled.

Sean adjusted his position and leaned in to explain to Abigail, “We need to win Howard over, sign a confidentiality agreement with him, and have him persuade the other shareholders to sell their shares. Then, he can sell those shares to L.Moon. The benefit you can offer him is a share of the profits. As long as he continues to manage the company well, he’ll remain Fairy Meadow’s CEO.”

Abigail found Sean’s approach rather dirty, but she couldn’t deny its effectiveness.

“Right now, we need to make Howard one of us, or it’ll be hard for Fairy Meadow to become L.Moon’s property. Even though the method is unscrupulous, this is often how battles in the business world are fought. You either publicly expose your opponent’s mistakes to make them vulnerable, launch a smear campaign in secret, or do what we’re doing.” Sean thought Abigail wasn’t willing to do it, so he tried to convince her.

After all, he was a businessman.

Moreover, L.Moon had treated Fairy Meadow well at the beginning, and it was Fairy Meadow’s shareholders who had turned against them, wanting to get rid of L.Moon.

“I’ll talk to Howard. How many shares do you think we should offer him?” Abigail was now so engaged in the conversation that she could temporarily forget the grudge she held

him.

against

“Give him a two percent stake, and he’ll be making a great deal. If it weren’t for the urgency of acquiring Fairy Meadow, he would have a hard time stumbling into such a great opportunity,” Sean uttered, ending his sentence with a cold snort.

Abigail nodded, taking his words to heart.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of L.Moon.

As the car came to a stop, Abigail turned to Sean and commented, “Thanks. See you tomorrow morning.”
