Chapter 527 Everything Was Fake
LOL. While everyone was arguing about not being able to create a male avatar, I had already.

Tve selected the outfits and paid for them. Who cares if they don’t fit me? I’ve been eyeing some of the
ones that are now selling at low prices. I usually buy from a thrift shop, but now I can afford a branded
outfit
Many users didn’t even bother creating their avatars. They rushed to order the goods simply because
they wanted to buy the outfits at the cheapest price as soon as possible.
After the technical director of Leap finished talking to someone, Abigail stopped him in his
tracks.
“I need your help to watch a video and analyze it, she whispered.
“Sure,” the man agreed immediately.
She took him to a secluded corner where they wouldn’t be disturbed. Then, she took out her phone and
showed him the video.
The man was surprised to see Sean in the video. A few moments later, he looked troubled frown.
“Where did you get this video, Miss Quinn?”
“I’ll only tell you if you promise to keep it a secret. Her voice was barely audible.

He nodded. “You can tell me. After all, I wouldn’t dare to talk about Mr. Graham behind his back.”

“I recorded this video during a video call. Did you notice anything strange?” Abigail had started to
suspect something after Luna showed her the photo.
Now that I think about it, something seems off.
Furthermore, Luna was covered in bruises when she returned to the country. She told Abigail that she
had no idea where she was and that her mind was a mess. However, she also revealed that Sean
showed up and rescued her.
She refused to share any more details.
We’re talking about Sean. A man like him wouldn’t just show up at a place like that.
“It’s a digital avatar. He’s using the keyboard, but you can’t see that. It’s already telling you something.
Besides, his tone sounds strange when he talks to you. Did you notice that?” The director kept his
voice low as well.

Her hand trembled. She had indeed noticed something, which was why she found it strange.
“So, I wasn’t talking to anyone at all, right?” she mumbled. I’ve been talking to a virtual avatar all
this time.
The man stared at her. He didn’t have an explanation as to why Sean would use a digital avatar to
deceive her.
“Yes. It involves some setup, so it isn’t easy to distinguish.” As someone approached them, he put on a
smile and changed the subject. “We are currently developing the male virtual avatar. Now we need to
wait for the menswear labels to approach us.”
Abigail put her phone away and thanked him.
After that, she left the conference hall.
She got into the car and browsed Sean’s pictures in her photo gallery, lost in thought.
If everything was fake, where did he go?
Luna returned to the car half an hour later.
She couldn’t help but speak up when she found Abigail daydreaming in the car. “Hello? Earth to
Abigail!”
Abigail snapped out of her trance and turned to Luna sharply. Her next question caught Luna off guard.
“Luna, do you remember any other details about the place where they kept you?”
“W-Why do you ask?” Luna was reluctant to relive those horrible memories.
Waking up in a strange place and enduring all those inhumane tortures was a nightmare for
her.
When her life returned to normal, the nightmares faded away as she left the bad memories behind.
“I asked around. The Sean who has been talking to me is fake,” said Abigail.
When she saw how realistic Eve was and how Eve interacted with the audience like a real person, the
possibility that the Sean she always video-called was fake struck her.
Her words hit Luna hard. She stared at her friend with wide eyes for a moment. Slowly, she curled up
and hugged her knees, whispering, “That was a terrible place. I woke up to find. them cutting my

“After they confirmed that I wasn’t pregnant, they stitched me up. When I woke up from anesthesia, I
found myself hanging from the ceiling. There were wild animals everywhere. I saw a bear, lion, python,
shark, and crocodile. All I remember is struggling, otherwise one of them would have eaten me alive. It
was terrifying.”
“After that, Sean showed up. He was willing to trade places with me. After I left, Xavien was waiting for
me. Once he sent me away, he rushed inside to save Sean. Then, I was free.”
Luna was overjoyed to see Xavien that she passed out on the spot. When she woke up again, she
found herself on the plane returning to the country.
Abigail took a deep breath and asked, “Why can’t he just tell me where he is? Why is he using a virtual
avatar to deceive me?”
Luna met Abigail’s gaze as she pondered. Finally, she said, “Maybe he’s injured?”
“The last time we had a video call, he was lying on the ground. There was a serious cut on his left
brow, and his face was covered in blood. I thought he was fine…” Abigail answered in at shaky voice.
Now that I think about it, he must be badly wounded.
Before Luna could continue, someone knocked on the window.
Abigail looked over and saw Josh, Lawrence, and Scarlett.
She wasn’t in the mood to talk to Lawrence and Scarlett.
“Tell Josh I have to go.” She waited for Luna to get out of the car before telling the driver to drive away.
