Abigail’s Second Life

While every designer was engrossed in preparations for the upcoming fashion exhibition, a ripple of controversy

surged when Danielle took to the inteby uploading a video.

In the footage, she stood holding her ID card, her expression fraught with emotion as she leveled accusations

against Abigail. She claimed that Abigail's actions had pushed her to a dead end.

"If anything were to happen to me, it would be because of the relentless pressure exerted by L.Moon. Just

because of a minor misstep on my part, she's effectively cutting off my livelihood in the design industry. I've

studied hard for over a decade, and just because she has a little power, she's blacklisting me!" With tears

glistening in her eyes, she lamented before ending the video.

The heartfelt plea in Danielle's video quickly thrust L.Moon into the spotlight among netizens. Hence, sparking a

flurry of reactions and debates.

'Alana's decision to shut out such a dedicated and hardworking designer seems unjustifiable, doesn't it? It's

evident that Alana has undergone significant changes in the past couple of years and has lost the gentleness she

was once known for. As someone who's walked the path of a designer, she should understand the trials and

tribulations that cwith the profession. Regardless of the mistake Danielle made, Alana's response seems

excessively harsh."

'Only insiders in L.Moon truly understand what's going on behind the scenes. Nevertheless, with so much

controversy surrounding it, there must be something fishy. A prominent designer from Eswadia shutting out a

newcomer. Besides, many of Fairy Meadow's past designs were Danielle's."

‘Before rushing to judgment, shouldn't we take a moment to understand the full extent of Danielle's

transgressions? Even if she erred, what if it was merely a case of plagiarism rather than outright theft? During

Alana's absence, L.Moon unearthed numerous plagiarism scandals. It's imperative that we consider these factors

before casting blame."

After watching the video and reading the comments, Abigail remained stoic, and her expression revealed little of

her inner thoughts.

She still had Danielle's number saved in her phone. Without much ado, she forwarded the saved video to the

latter.

Danielle quietly removed the video within half an hour and issued an apology. She admitted her mistake and

absolved Abigail of any wrongdoing.

The sudden turnaround puzzled netizens, sparking rampant speculation about the underlying reasons behind

Danielle's actions. Swondered if she was facing threats or grappling with other undisclosed issues.

Initially, Abigail didn't want to cout to clarify but eventually deemed it necessary for the PR department to

issue a statement, considering the escalating conjectures circulating among the online community. Before the PR

statement could be released, Cindy took to Instagram to expose Danielle's troubling behavior during her high

school years. It aligned with Abigail's suspicions.

It's often said that those who bully colleagues in the workplace likely engaged in similar behavior during their

school days, she mused.

Danielle's history as a middle school bully corroborated this notion, with reports of her and her friends

intimidating younger students, resorting to physical violence, and causing disruptions in dormitories. Her poor

performance in academics resulted in him scoring just above 100 points on her high school entrance exam.

Thus, relegating her to the lowest tier of art colleges. Despite possessing undeniable talent in design, his

troubling pattern of bullying persisted.

'How did someone with such a troubled past manage to secure admission to a prestigious art college? And could

her behavior at L.Moon be just as egregious?’

'l wouldn't put it past her to have already caused harm to a colleague at L.Moon. After all, | saw Alana at Metro

Hospital a few days ago. My friends managed to capture footage of her there, suggesting Danielle's involvement

in sway."

'It's true, isn't it? Speople just never change, no matter how many years go by People like her deserve to be

shown the door, plain and simple. Otherwise, who knows how many innocent designers she'l terrorize at another

company? Letting her take the fall might just save the rest of the industry from her toxicity. Isn't that an act of

justice on Alana's part?’

ooo

As the condemnation against Danielle continued, a marketing account suddenly sent shockwaves. Danielle had

allegedly attempted self-harm at hand was now hospitalized. Soon enough, images surfaced showing

Suddenly, Abigail found herself thrust back into the center of public scrutiny.

After confirming over the phone the grim truth of Danielle's situation, Abigail's phone buzzed again, this time

with a call from Sean.

Abigail rubbed her temples and answered with a tired voice, "What's up?"

"Obviously, I'm worried sick about you. You shouldn't have to handle all this online alone." Sean said,

sounding genuinely concerned.

"I'm alright. This mess is all her own doing," Abigail replied nonchalantly.

She knew that if Danielle truly passed away, she would be left grappling with the storm of public opinion

crashing down on L.Moon.

"Handle this matter with care. Many thriving businesses have been brought to its knees by sudden crises," Sean

remarked. He sensed that Danielle's predicament was like a dire warning, given L.Moon's history of weathering

storms.

His instincts in the business world were always sharp.

Abigail's brows knitted in worry as she asked, "Do you think this is really as dangerous as it seems?"

"Every problem has a solution, except when it involves loss of life. Life is precious, and any company caught in

such a tragedy is bound to suffer," Sean replied and reached out upon hearing the news. He had been in Pendorf

recently, making preparations for their wedding.

Abigail took a deep breath, and her lips pressed tightly together.

After a moment, she spoke in a bitter voice, "Danielle's condition is very grim, according to what the hospital

reported. Was | too pushy?"

Originally, if it weren't for the

message sent from Cindy's account,

this matter would have already

passed," Sean said, pausing for a

moment before continuing, "Don't blyourself. This was originally her fault. Don't worry, I'll have Xavien

handle it."

"But I..."

"In sickness and in health, husband and wife should support each other. You're already juggling enough. My

company isn't too busy right now, so let Xavien handle it. You need a breather," Sean insisted, his care for her

was evident.

Originally, because of Irene's situation, she had been consumed with overhauling the design department, even

having to let go of several designers. Each of those matters demanded her personal attention.
