I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn Novel

Chapter 381 Important News

When Gabe woke up, she chose to leave the program.

Now, there were only two people left on Abigail’s team.

Tristan refused to assign them any new members, even if Team C had 5 people in total.

As Gabe had left, the treasure changed spots again.

Everyone was fully energized in the afternoon after resting for a whole morning.

That was partially because of what Tristan said. Nowadays, follower counts matter more than anything. If the participants could gain a few hundred thousand fans just by appearing in one show, it meant they could continue to earn an income through their fans.

If they could earn a living by chatting with people over the internet, why would they slave away at work?

Team C found the treasure within an hour.

As the team with the least number of contestants, Abigail and Miranda would have to suffer the greatest punishment available.

However, the punishment would only be announced the next day when they started filming in the morning. No one knew what Tristan had in mind for Abigail and Miranda.

Once filming wrapped up for the day, Abigail walked out of the set with Miranda following close behind, who then called out, “Miss Alana.”

Abigail paused and turned to look at Miranda. “What is it?”

“Can I hitch a ride with you? My phone plan expired, so I can’t call for a cab,” Miranda awkwardly requested.

The crew, who were walking nearby, looked at her with strange looks on their faces.

When filming was ongoing, everyone’s phones would be stored together. It was very normal for Miranda to forget to buy a mobile recharge in time.

“Sure. Where do you live?” Abigail asked with a gentle smile.

I live in the university dorms. It’s not that far away. Have you heard of Capitalis Fashion. Academy before?” Miranda casually responded.

“Of course. It’s a highly respected university. Everyone knows about it,” Abigail replied, grabbing Miranda by the hand.

No

After they got into the cab, Miranda softly said, “Actually, it’s Gabe who wants to talk to you.”

Abigail was surprised. “What for?”

“I don’t know either. I’m too scared to check my phone too often when we’re on set. I feel like there’s something wrong with the Wi-Fi they provide us,” Miranda replied.

“You’re right to be cautious,” Abigail replied.

They headed to the campus cafe. When they walked in, they instantly spotted Gabe sitting inside with her head covered in bandages.

“How are you? What did the doctors say?” Abigail asked, her voice muffled due to the face mask. she was wearing.

“I’m actually fine. It’s just a mild concussion, so it’s nothing major.” Gabe’s nose turned red. “I really didn’t want to leave. Mr. Stuart threatened me. While he didn’t say what the consequences. would be if I didn’t leave, I’m still terrified.”

Don’t be upset over that. Tristan is a powerful man, and you’re just a university student. You have to do what he says. Otherwise, there’s a high chance he might do something bad to you,” Abigail reassured.

Distress and guilt had been warring within Gabe. So. Abigail’s words managed to calm her down.

After a beat of silence, she hurriedly pulled out a document folder from her bag and handed it to Abigail. “I joined the show so that I can meet you. My teacher said that if I performed well, you would hire us for L.Moon. P-Please look at my portfolio. I don’t want to leave just like that. In order to join the show, I spent 30…”

“Gabe!” Miranda interrupted.

Abigail accepted the folder and calmly asked, “Did you pay the production team 30 thousand just so you could join the show?”

Miranda uneasily explained, “Miss Alana, Mr. Stuart insisted that we had to. Our teacher also said we would only have one chance like this in our lifetimes. If we spend some cash to seize the chance, we will have a bright future ahead of us if we get hired.”

Abigail did not open the folder and looked up at Gabe. “Does everyone else have to pay?”

“I don’t know. The three of us had to pay 30 thousand each,” Gabe honestly replied.

You paid 30 thousand, yet you left just like that. You didn’t even protest, did you?” Abigail asked with scorn in her voice.

Gabe’s face turned red as she looked down in shame. “I don’t have the courage to go against Mr. Stuart. He’s a very famous man here. Miranda knows about it as well, but he said 30 thousand was

only the entrance fee. Once we’re in the show, everything else is up to us.”

“Your designs are nice. I also have the responsibility to tell you that L.Moon hires university graduates every year. You didn’t need to splurge just for a chance to work with me.” Abigail found Gabe rather foolish.

Runway Capitalis was a very famous show. Tristan had garnered a lot of fame through the show.

Still, what Gabe said struck a chord in Abigail’s mind.

The jaws of Gabe and Miranda dropped as they stared at her in disbelief.

“Alright. I should be going,” Abigail said, standing up.

Gabe and Miranda sat in the cafe for a long while. Eventually, Miranda burst out shouting, “What he did was repulsive! We should have looked L.Moon up beforehand. All that money went down. the drain.”

“I really want to expose Runway Capitalis for cheating us out of our money.” Gabe might be thmid, but she was also capable of getting angry.

“I heard Leo spent 60 thousand,” Miranda abruptly said.

Realization soon struck them. Gabe could not resist voicing her thoughts, exclaiming, “Could it be that the more you pay, the longer you can stay in the show?!”

“Either way, he spent all that money for nothing. Miss Alana would never choose him,” Miranda happily said.

Gabe solemnly looked at her and replied, “Miss Alana signed a contract. What if Mr. Stuart forces her to pick Leo?”

Miranda fell silent and started sulking upon hearing that.
