    Chapter 339 The Dust Settles


    That evening, Joan called Sean. “Sean, my brother’s friend has kidnapped your grandma. I’ll give you


    the address right now. You have to save her,” she reported in a hurry, her voice mildly cracking.


    Man, if she actually puts that effort into acting, she’d have made a name for herself by now, but some


    people are trash, no matter how you cut it. Even when I’ve set her up to be a big star, she’s still


    confined to her narrow point of view. She’d never have the courage to step onto the path.


    “What? Grandpa didn’t tell me about it.” Sean yed along, but he motioned at Xavien to start working.


    Xavien quickly connected the line to Kingston’s friend.


    Having no idea about that, Joan said, “They knew they couldn’t get through you easily, so they


    snapped a video and sent it to Colby. They told him not to tell you, so only Colby and Analise got the


    video. They want the two of them to tell Abigail to settle out of court. That way, Kingston won’t have to


    go to court.”


    A moment of silenceter, Sean said, “How can I know if that’s true? Grandpa told me nothing, and I’m


    busy with work. Unless this is verified, I won’t do anything.”


    “I have the video here. I can send it to you. You’re smart, so you’ll know if it’s true. And I know where


    they’re keeping Old Mrs. Graham. I’ll give you the address.”


    He grunted. A momentter, he got the video and address. After seeing the video, he told Xavien, “Get


    someone to rescue my grandma.” He then told her, “Grandma isn’t looking good. Can you talk to them


    a little? She’s not young anymore. This kind of torture can kill her. Protect her until I get there.”


    “Yes!” said Joan, her excitement unmistakable.


    The call ended, and then Sean took the phone Xavien gave him. “So, do you want my men to catch all


    of you, or will you hand my grandmother back?” asked Sean coolly.


    “You knew what she was going after all this time? You got a spy to reveal all this to me, didn’t you?”


    answered the man, humiliated. He and Joan thought they were ying the Grahams like a fiddle, but


    unbeknownst to him, Sean had been watching all this time, and he yed them like a puppet master


    pulling the strings.


    “There’s always a bigger hunter out there. Fighting me was the wrong choice. You still have a chance,


    though. Go to the address Joan gave me and beat her up. She’s the real traitor,” said Sean calmly.


    The man hung up in fury.

    It was night when the cries of Joan came from the steel room. The man standing before her was burly,


    snarling like a man-eating demon. “Snakey, please, have mercy on me! I did it for your goo


    Then, Snakey whipped her face before she could finish. Her flesh cracked, and the pain made her


    scream. “My face! Kingston will kill you when hees out!”


    “You dare bring him up? We’re trying to save him here, and what did you do? You should die, b*tch!


    Kingston’s so unlucky he has a sister like you!” He went ahead and pped her.


    Joan saw stars, and everything around her spun.


    “You b*tch! You’d leave your brother for dead just for your profit. Our n wouldn’t have failed if you


    hadn’t betrayed us!” He kept cursing.


    She was injured all over and kept crying, wondering how things turned out this way.


    “You’re wondering why I’m here instead of Sean? He sent his men and told me you set up a big trap.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    You were going to use Lina and spring a trap on everyone. I never took her here. This was all a trap for


    you to step into.” He sneered, looking at her like she was a pitiful dog.


    Joan’s hair was drenched in sweat and blood as she looked at Snakey in disbelief.


    “He knew I’d kill you if you came, but he still told you toe. Pathetic. Now you see the true colors of


    the man you love? He’s a heartless b’stard who ys you like a little b*tch.” He gazed at Joan with pity.


    At that point, her eyes were glistening with tears. She could not say anything and could only cry in


    sadness.


    Following that, he went ahead and grabbed her by her hair. “Do you regret this, Joan?”


    “Why? Why?” she muttered, the light in her eyes snuffed out. Why did Sean do this to me?


    “Sean hates you. You and your brother. He hates you two for ruining his peaceful life. You should be


    damned. Both of you. And here I was, trying to save you guys. You did this to yourself because of your


    greed, you b*tch!” He shoved her away.
