Chapter 209 Leaving Sean Behind
Sean wore a thoughtful expression as he considered the possibility.
After a moment, he spoke. “We can’t be sure for now. However, if Abby has any connection to the
Pearsons, it would exin why they are helping Eric. Go and investigate the rtionship between the
Pearsons and the Davidsons in detail. The more detailed, the better.”
He believed that if they were looking for a family member, it shouldn’t be Eric who was at the forefront
of this particr matter.
So, he suspected that there was another reason behind Eric’s special treatment of Abigail.
The next day, Abigail had nned to explore Capitalis a bit before heading back to Ouisford. To her
surprise, she received a call from Analise early in the morning.
“Where are you right now?” Analise’s voice was heavy, and there was a hint of anger.
Abigail replied quickly. “I’m handling some matters in Capitalis…”
“In that case, can youe back today? I have something to discuss with you.” Analise’s tone
suddenly softened.
Abigail couldn’t help but wonder if her meeting with Josh had been discovered by Analise.
She agreed immediately as she did not want to worry Analise.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Abigail informed Luna and headed to the airport after ending the call.
Sean, who had overslept by half an hour, had intended to invite Abigail to breakfast. Unfortunately,
Luna informed him that Abigail had already left.
Abigail was enjoying some pastries in the airport lounge when she received a call from Sean.
“Why didn’t you wait for me when you left?!” The moment Sean’s call connected, he scolded her
angrily.
“I was in a hurry and forgot to wait for you. You could havee by yourself,” Abigail replied somewhat
guiltily.
She had forgotten about Sean while rushing to catch a cab. Regardless, she did decide to shoot him a
text after she had her meal once the car had started moving.
She didn’t expect him to call so quickly.
“Abigail, are you even human? It seems like I’m the only one worried about

She took a bite of her noodles. “You were sleeping so deeply in the hotel. Why would I worry about
you? Do I have to make this trip with you for it to be considered as me taking you seriously?”
s, Sean immediately hung up the call after hearing her response.
“What a temper… Abigail held her phone and felt somewhat helpless.
Sean, who had hung up the call, tossed his phone aside.
Cameron stood by his side and asked in a low voice, “Would you like to order breakfast?”
“Breakfast? What’s the point? If you want to cat, just have breakfast alone. Stop bothering me,” Sean
hissed with a scowl.
Cameron nodded and made the executive decision to leave the room.
He had grown ustomed to being the target of Sean’s anger for trivial reasons. It was quite sad, but
that was the reality of his life now.
Eventually, Sean decided to take the day off after sulking for half an hour.
As soon as Abigail returned to Pendorf, she headed straight to the Quinn Vige.
At this moment, in the Quinn Residence, Analise was hosting several guests.
Her expression was solemn, and she had a lot on her mind.
She had always hoped that Abigail would heed her advice. Yet, this time, she wished that Abigail would
defy her wishes.
s, things didn’t go as she hoped.
The sound of a bell rang at the entrance of the courtyard.
Analise nced at the person sitting next to her sipping tea. Then, she got up to answer the door.
When Abigail’s figure appeared at the gate of Analise’s house, Joan, who was hiding not far was
shocked.
Analise opened the door and whispered, “Why did you return so quickly? Aren’t you busy?”
away,
Abigail looked a bit dazed. She blinked her eyes and asked, “Didn’t you ask me toe back quickly?”
Her response was met with a sigh from Analise.
Abigail saw Cornelie sitting inside after entering the house.
She put down her luggage and looked at Cornelie with a gentle tone, “Grandma, why did you
Cornelie looked at her, and her face disyed a disdainful expression. “I shouldn’t havee here to
disturb your grandmother. Unfortunately, it seems that we have issues to discuss.”
“What is it?” Abigail asked.
“You took the property deed for the house that Sean bought for you, and then house?” Cornelie went
straight to the point.
Analise, who was seated nearby, looked at Abigail with a worried expression.
She had expected that Abigail wouldn’t be able to afford a house in Pendorf.
“You did that?” Analise asked angrily.

“Grandma, that house was a gift from Sean…” Even as she said this, her tone byed that she didn’t
feel that confident about it either.
Even though it really was a gift from him… What did that matter? Cornelie seemed determined to
me her.
“Are you telling me that you still want Sean’s gift even though you’re clearly capable enough to earn
money to support yourself?” Cornelie sneered.
Abigail pursed her lips, and after a moment, she said to Cornelie, “I can give you the money for
the house.”
“I didn’te here to ask you for the money. I came to ask you to divorce Sean. Abigail, the Grahams
have done everything we can for you. Since you can’t fulfill your duties as a granddaughter-inw, don’t
me me for being strict with you,” Cornelie said with a calm exterior, but her aura was overwhelming.
“Do you think divorce is a decision I can make on my own?” Abigail retorted.
When Sean tore the divorce agreement up back then at the Graham Estate, Cornelie had seen it
herself.
“You
“You can’t even make an effort to have a child, and now you don’t want a divorce either. Do you really
want to cling to our family like a leech?” Cornelie’s voice grew more intense.
“I have never once wanted to cling to your family, Abigail replied calmly.
Analise stood up and tried to mediate the argument. “Having a child isn’t something she can do alone-
Before she could finish her sentence, Cornelie interrupted with a hiss, “Do you think I’m ying around
with you?!”
