Chapter 118 Clarification

Abigail returned to Luna’s room with a gloomy expression and found her sitting on the couch, lost in

thought. Upon hearing the door close, Luna snapped out of her reverie and immediately looked at

Abigail, asking, “What did he say?”

“He said that we should make Joan apologize and continue as planned, but I don’t want to let it go so

easily,” Abigail said as she sat down beside Luna with a cold look in her clear eyes.

Luna looked at her, her gaze turning icy as well. “Do you wish to confront Joan? Won’t Sean blame

us for this?”

“Luna, don’t you think it’s because we’ve been afraid of this situation that Sean and Joan have been

able to manipulate us? Being patient and accommodating hasn’t solved the problem,” Abigail said

calmly.

Luna gradually calmed down and replied in a low voice, “You’re right.”

Abigail continued, “Let’s wait for the results from the production team first. Once they’re out, we can

plan our next move, but be prepared for the possibility of losing both money and reputation.”

Luna’s breath caught at the mention of losing everything. “It was Joan who pushed us to join the

show in the first place, and she’s the one causing us trouble now.”

“Luck doesn’t always favor one person,” Abigail said coldly.

After returning to her room, she took out the phone that Luna had slipped into her bag and saw the

latest message. Immediately, she unlocked it with her password. As she read the text, her eyes

widened in astonishment.

At 10.00PM, Cameron returned with the original video footage while Kevin was also investigating

in secret.

Cameron handed the original video to Sean and said respectfully, “When Halopedia Entertainment

received this original video, it had already been edited.”

“How did they receive it?” Sean asked, his voice devoid of emotion as he stared at the original video

on his phone.

Cameron pursed his lips and replied, “Someone sent it to them via email, but when I checked, I found

that the sender’s email had been deleted on the same day it was active. I asked some experts,

but they said there was no way to trace the sender after the email had been erased.”

“They’ve covered their tracks quite well,” Sean said with a cold smile. Afterward, he called Kevin, who

quickly answered. “How’s your side progressing?” he asked with a hint of coldness.

Kevin hurriedly replied, “The prime suspects now are Nina and Damian. He claims that he couldn’t

sleep three nights ago due to work and sat in the garden all night. Then, he encountered Nina sneakily

returning from the garden at 4.00AM.”

Sean frowned. “Why is it Damian again?”

“Damian told me a little secret. He said that he arranged with Luna to deliberately create a competitive

atmosphere to use their absolute strength to eliminate Nina in the first round, as Luna believed that

Nina’s design and character were subpar,” Kevin said in a lowered voice.

“Where are you that you can’t speak loudly?” Sean asked while sounding impatient.

Kevin cleared his throat. “I’m creating an atmosphere.”

“Go on,” Sean said while restraining his impatience.

“Nina claimed she couldn’t sleep either, but I checked some hidden cameras, and it was clear she had

a specific target that night. It wasn’t insomnia. She left the hotel and went straight to the

northeast corner of the garden,” Kevin reported, and a rustling sounded on his end.

“You went to the northeast corner of the garden?” Sean immediately noticed.

“Yes. The garden is watered every day, and the soil is moist. If someone had been there, they

would’ve left footprints,” Kevin replied with a grin.

He was quite clever at critical moments.

Sean made a noncommittal sound.

“Damian really spent the entire night in the garden. He left the hotel aimlessly after 10.00PM and sat in

the garden with a pavilion all night.”

Sean nodded, but his thoughts began to wander. Did Abigail ever have insomnia all night when she

couldn’t come up with a design idea?

After three years of marriage, he rarely paid attention to her. Now that he wanted to get to know

her better, he did not know where to start.

Kevin’s voice suddenly grew louder. “There are indeed footprints near the iron railing!”

“Do you know what to do next?” Sean asked coldly.

Kevin chuckled. “Of course. You can trust me with this, Sean. I’ll make sure to clear Abigail’s name.”

Sean ended the call and told Cameron, “As soon as we get the video analysis results, have the PR

team write a statement and post it on Instagram to clear Alana’s name.”

“Yes,” Cameron replied quickly.

When it was close to midnight, Sean received the restored video footage from Cameron. The video

was also synthesized During the editing process using artificial intelligence. Through professional

techniques, the Al–synthesized part was separated and spliced together with the original video

before creating a new video.

The official account of the program released a clarification video at midnight. A comparison video

was attached and mentioned the authoritative team responsible for the analysis.

Even so, some netizens remained skeptical.

‘What does this analysis prove? It shows that the audio part was synthesized, but what about the

video? Miss Quinn brought the unfinished clothes to her room, and the next day, they were

completed!

‘How do you explain the distance and proximity of the audio in the video? Miss Quinn was the one

operating the sewing machine, so isn’t it impossible for Alana not to know how to use a sewing

machine?‘
