The Spare Wife

Chapter 356 An Invitation That’s Hard to Decline
The unexpected news of Alfie and Damon becoming sworn brothers quickly spread within Capitalis’ social circles.
When Kelly received the phone call, she was equally surprised.
“What are you doing in Pendorf, anyway? I haven’t seen you visit Abigail’s grandmother even once. Are you waiting for the truth
to be revealed before meeting her?” The woman on the other end of the phone asked, her anger barely contained.
“Aren’t you being too impatient right now? Being in Pendorf is not the same as being in Capitalis. I need to find a shield first to
make a move, or else how am I supposed to escape if things get messy?” Kelly replied nonchalantly, showing no signs of
urgency.
“Are you planning to marry Sean and win over his grandmother?” The woman couldn’t resist at
taunt.
Kelly smiled, but her gaze was cold. “Am I not allowed to marry him?”
The woman on the phone fell silent all of a sudden.
Kelly looked at the night view outside the window and continued, “I give Eric up to your daughter while I choose Sean. Fair
enough, right? If you don’t find me worthy, then your daughter should forget about marrying into the Davidson Family as well.”
The woman on the phone took a deep breath and responded, “You managed to connect with these people because of me. Don’t
forget that!”
Kelly chuckled, “If you hadn’t asked for my help, I could have continued living my life just fine, but since you’ve come to me for
assistance, you’d better be nice to me, or I might exposé everyone, and no one will be able to escape. It was you who gave me
the opportunity to climb the ladder, and now you mock me for overestimating my abilities?”
“Actually, you’re right. It is natural for one to climb the ladder to success, so what can I do for you?” the woman’s tone instantly
softened.
“Abigail has managed to convince Josh, and now he wants me back. If I go back, my plan will be ruined. You must tell ‘Runway
Capitalis’ to invite Abigail as a judge. Once she’s out of Pendorf, I’ll have more room to work my plan around,” Kelly ordered.

Without a choice, the woman agreed, albeit begrudgingly.
“I have to warn you, though. Trying to win over Sean’s grandmother is pointless. He isn’t close to his grandmother. If you want to
gain his favor, you’d better focus on his grandfather,” the woman. reminded before ending the call.

Kelly was well aware of this as she replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ve got it under control.”
After the call, the woman muttered to herself in a low voice, “I underestimated her. She has a hidden agenda that I can’t even
fathom.”
When Abigail received an unexpected invitation from the “Runway Capitalis” channel, she was surprised.
“Runway Capitalis” was an old television channel primarily focused on fashion-related knowledge. Whenever a TV series gained
popularity, this channel would invite the actors to participate in its programs. They would showcase the costumes and delve into
the cultural aspects of clothing.
Unfortunately, Abigail didn’t have the time and wasn’t planning to accept the invitation to this
program.
“Sorry. I’m not free toward the end of the year,” she rejected politely.
“Oh, no worries, then. The person in charge didn’t force her.
Just a couple of hours after the phone call ended, Lewis, whom she hadn’t talked to in a long time, called her.
“It’s been a while, Miss Quinn. How have you been? Lewis sounded extremely polite.
Abigail replied with a smile, “I’m doing fine. Is there a reason for your call?” In reality, she had a faint inkling of what it might be
about.
“It’s about the invitation from Runway Capitalist. Why didn’t you accept it? We’ve all agreed to invite you, and now the entire cast
is only waiting for your answer. This is a great opportunity to share about your designs, isn’t it?” He sounded somewhat
embarrassed.

“I declined because I’ve been really busy. How about asking Professor Gibson? He’s much more knowledgeable about the
clothing of the Western Roman Empire’s invasion era than I am,” Abigail said with a hint of reluctance.
“Professor Gibson doesn’t want to appear on the show. I asked him before reaching out to you. We really need someone with
expertise for this show. Besides, you’re skilled enough to join the show. There are a few young talents interested in costume
design, so you can even select some of them. and take them to your studio. They can carry on your legacy in the future.” Lewis
earnestly tried to persuade her.
She was considering hiring a few assistants, as she was already overwhelmed with work. If her career continued to grow, she
might end up working round the clock. “I’ll think about it,” she responded, not wanting to refuse him outright.

“Alright, let me just tell you the truth. The cast of our TV series needs to go on popular seginenta for promotions, especially since
the history of the Western Roman Empire’s invasion era is relatively unknown. The show’s production team is keen to have you
on board, and if you them, they won’t consider inviting us to the show.” Lewis voice carried a hint of disappointment.

Abigail understood that in the current era where popularity was king, without a buzz, no one would
pay much attention to someone or something. Promoting culture was something that only a few people were doing, and this path
was also very challenging.
When a TV series gained popularity, it could indeed have a significant impact on the audience. However, if it flopped, there
wouldn’t be any investment in such themes in the future, let alone the promotion of so-called ‘culture.”
“I will talk to Runway Capitalist again and come up with something. Don’t worry, Abigail reluctantly agreed.
Now that Lewis had personally contacted her, how could she bear to reject him?
