Chapter 446 Sean Knows More

Upon hearing Abigail’s words, Ronaldo was deeply moved. “Oh, it’s rare for you to still be concerned about my pearl sales. The New Year has passed. Why don’t you visit Eastbay when you’re not busy?”

She felt a bit hesitant. “It’s not that I don’t want to, but the new product launch with Fairy Meadow in March is quite important, so I’ve been busy with that recently.”

“I’m aware of that. Well, feel free to visit, maybe in August or September. We have a grand fair here.” Ronaldo was like a carefree child who spent his days thinking about what to play and eat.

Abigail envied his carefree attitude. After hearing his words, she smiled and said, “I’ll come when I can. However, I called you today because I hope you can continue investigating Kelly’s background. She’s been causing trouble behind the scenes, and L.Moon’s development has been rocky.”

Without Kelly and the Pearson Family’s interference, L.Moon would not have offended so many capital investors. Now that the Pearson Family was after L.Moon, those investors would likely want to crush them.

“I want to, but I can’t. Let me give you some advice. Ask Sean. I think he knows more,” Ronaldo suggested.

When he was investigating, his uncle told him he did not need to get involved in Kelly’s matter because Sean had more information, so he did not want to tip off the culprits by investigating himself.

Abigail looked surprised. “Sean has been investigating this all along?”

“It seems like it. After all, his grandfather was poisoned, which involved matters of life and death. Do you think he’d let the people behind it off easily?” He smiled.

She nodded. “You’re right.”

After exchanging pleasantries with Ronaldo, Abigail found herself in a dilemma while holding her phone. If Sean was investigating Kelly for the sake of his grandfather, it might not be appropriate for her to intervene. In this case, however, their goals seemed to align

She could not help but sigh.

The Pearson Family was dealing with L.Moon, and Sean was still meddling behind the scenes. Of course, because Cameron had hit Kelly, his involvement was expected.

After thinking for a moment, she decided not to call Sean. She did not have the standing to ask him anything, as their common goal was just to deal with Kelly. As such, she turned off her phone and decided to return to designing clothes.

Around noon, Luna returned from her meeting with Fairy Meadow.

“How did it go?” Abigail asked anxiously when they were about to go out for lunch.

“The situation doesn’t look good. The accounts for these past few years at Fairy Meadow are a complete mess. When I went to see Howard, the tax authorities were already there, conducting an audit. It looks like itil take several days, Luna replied.

If there’s a tax issue, we might have to pay back taxes. We don’t even know how much” Abigail said with

Concert.

Paying back a few hundred million could be catastrop

The liquid assets of L.Moon and Fairy Meadow combined were only around 4.5 to 6 million, and if they could not pay it back, Fairy Meadow would face a severe backlash.

“There’s a problem, for sure. Everything is in disarray at Fairy Meadow. Otherwise, why would they conduct an audit for so many days?” Luna was not optimistic about Fairy Meadow. She had taken a look today, and several people from the finance department were already under detention.

“Even if the Pearson Family isn’t a factor, the situation with Fairy Meadow is still very risky, and sooner or later, it will be exposed,” Abigail said solemnly.

“If we wish to continue cooperating with Fairy Meadow, we must find a way to help the company rectify the tax issue, which would require changing the ownership structure again. But there’s no other choice. Nothing in business ever goes completely smoothly. If we want to find a way out for L.Moon, we have to take on more risks,” Luna explained as she placed her arm around Abigail’s shoulder.

Abigail was talented in design, but when it came to running a company, she was less knowledgeable. While listening, she did not fully grasp all the details and finally concluded, “So, we need to raise money?”

“Yes, but the rumors about Fairy Meadow being investigated are already gaining traction online. Soon, the entire internet will know that the company might’ve engaged in tax evasion. If it turns out to be true, their brand will be tarnished, and it will be difficult to raise the funds we need, even with you, the award- winning designer, leading the way.” Luna was now deeply concerned.

If it were just a regular tax audit, paying the back taxes would be enough, and there would not be a significant impact. However, as soon as things started to circulate on the internet, it would turn into a scandal.

In that case, L.Moon’s moves had not been very effective.

“Today, Scarlett called me and said that as long as I design a gown for Kelly, all these problems will go away,” Abigail said with a hint of compromise.

After all, it was just one gown… But no, I don’t want to.

Fairy Meadow had problems now, but L.Moon was innocent. If they persisted in the conflict, would L.Moon be able to withstand it?

“I don’t want you to compromise. We came here to expose Kelly’s hypocrisy. If you compromise, it means we lose, and our trip to Capitalis would’ve been in vain. There will always be a way.” Luna consoled Abigail

“The fans will be upset. If Fairy Meadow has issues, the fans will demand that we cut ties with them.” Abigail muttered.

Fairy Meadow was deceived by the higher-ups, but is the brand itself problematic? It’s not. The issue lies in the internal management”

In reality, Luna wanted to revive Fairy Meadow. The name is so beautiful, and it’s a decade-old brand….
