Chapter 217


    Chapter 217 A New Beginning


    After filing their divorce papers, the two left the courthouse.


    As soon as they appeared at the entrance, Cameron, who had been waiting outside, came over and


    handed an envelope to Sean.


    Sean took the envelope and held it out to Abigail. “Honey… This is thest time I’ll be calling you


    that.”


    Abigail had nned on refusing to take the envelope from him, but after hearing his abruptment, a


    complicated mix of emotions welled up inside her. As she stared at Sean, she felt both wry and sad.


    “Alright,” Abigail said coolly as she took the envelope.


    With pursed lips, Sean gazed at Abigail. After a long silence, he averted his eyes and said, “I’ve made


    you


    suffer a lot the past three years. When it came to both my family and our rtionship, I disregarded


    your feelings and well–being. I want to apologize for that.”


    Even Sean found the situation ironic.


    Perhaps Abigail doesn’t want to listen to these meaningless words anymore. Maybe she’s been looking


    forward to the divorce for a long time now. I’m the only one who doesn’t wish to let her go. She has


    finally regained her freedom.


    Abigail looked at Sean and said impassively, “That won’t be necessary. From now on, we’ll go our


    separate ways.”


    She could still remember just how happy she had been when she married him. She had loved him in


    secret, and whenever she looked at him then, she thought everything was worth it.


    From today onward, those memories would all be relegated to the past. She was going to lock them up


    and throw away the key–never to be revisited again.


    Sean felt his chest tightening. He subconsciously loosened his tie before ncing at Abigail. “How do


    you want me to deal with the incident involving your grandmother?”


    “You don’t need to ask for my opinion. That involves you and your family. It has nothing to do with me,”


    Abigail replied. Neither she nor Analise had the power to make any sort of request.

    It wasn’t as if she could ask him to piss Lina off so that she would get a heart attack and end the


    hospital too.

    The only way to resolve this matter was to carry on living their separate lives after the divorce and not


    have any more contact with each other.


    Sean nodded. “Cameron, give Abigail a ride onest time.”


    “No need,” Abigail rejected. “Luna’s waiting for me.


    Cameron nced tentatively at Sean.


    Sean took onest look at Abigail before saying to Cameron, “Let’s go.”


    When Abigail got into Luna’s car, she let out a long exhale.


    Luna held her and said consolingly, “Congrattions on regaining your freedom. You can date


    anyone you want now.”


    Abigail leaned against Luna’s shoulder. “Yeah.”


    Sean hadn’t said a word since he got into the car.


    Cameron drove as carefully as possible, afraid that even a small bump in the road would displease


    Sean.


    All of a sudden, Sean instructed Cameron, “Continue to keep an eye on Kingston.”


    “Got it,” Cameron replied.


    Sean stopped speaking. All he could think about was the cold and indifferent look on Abigail’s face.


    He didn’t choose to get a divorce just because of his grandmother. It was also because of Joan and


    Kingston.


    In any case, he didn’t believe that a divorce signified the end of his rtionship with Abigail. It could


    also be a new beginning.


    That being said, Abigail’s suffering left him in a dismal mood, too.


    After the divorce, Abigail went back to Ouisford for work.


    Beforeing over, she didn’t open the envelope Sean gave her.


    Somehow, Lte heard about Abigail’s divorce and was startled to find that thetter had immediately


    returned to Ouisford to work.


    “People really do work themselves to death. Why don’t you take a few days off?” Lte asked Abigail


    while sipping her drink.


    “There’s no time. We need to hand over the gown by June,” Abigail answered.


    Lte nodded. “Has Lexie been pushing you too hard? If you don’t want to do it, the Pearsons can


    help you.”


    “It’s fine. This is my job,” Abigail replied indifferently.


    “Can you not be so cold toward me, Abby? I really like you.” Lte felt a little hurt.


    “I’m not being cold to you.” Abigail thought she was being calm and pleasant enough.


    Lte was a Pearson, and Abigail didn’t like the Pearsons. She was already being cordial enough by


    putting up with Lte’s constant presence.


    Lte sighed. “Are you just like Josh? Someone cold on the outside but warm on the inside?”


    “I’m not like Josh,” Abigail emphasized.


    Lte quickly nodded in agreement. “Yes, you’re right. I misspoke.”


    Abigail was still resistant to having any sort of rtionship with the Pearsons. Lte was afraid of


    saying the wrong thing.


    “Don’t you have work to do?” Abigail asked Lte as she carried on with her sewing.


    Lte waved her chin in the air and said, “I don’t have to work. I’m the boss of three hotels in


    Capitalis. All I have to do is collect my share of the profits every month and invest that money. I’m


    making money without even having to do anything. I can easily earn hundreds of thousands a day


    without needing to work hard like ordinary people.”


    Abigail couldn’t understand what that was like. She didn’t even dare to dream of what it’d be like to


    earn six figures a day.


    Lexie’s gown was the result of months of effort, and it would result in about 1.2 million in profits. To


    Abigail, that was already more money than ordinary people could save up in their lifetime.


    Her shock and speechlessness made Lte feel a little awkward. Thetter quicklyforted her by


    saying, “But my life is pretty meaningless. You live a far more meaningful life. You’re so talented, and


    so many people adore your creations. You’re way more incredible than me.”


    Abigail remarked, “To an ordinary person, earning six figures in one day is a dreame true.”
