    Chapter 358 Disappointment Reached Its Peak


    Abigail suppressed her anger and questioned, “Kelly, what happened to Old Mr. Graham?”


    “How would I know? Even if you’re upset, you can’t just use me, can you?” Kelly’s tone shifted. from


    anger to aggrieved in just a moment. “I admit my tone was bad earlier, but it was because I couldn’t find


    you when I needed you. Do you


    know how many times Grandpa tried to call you?”


    Abigail hadn’t received any calls. She checked her phone repeatedly but found no missed calls from


    Colby.


    “How is he?” Abigail’s tone softened slightly.


    “He’s still getting his stomach pumped, and we don’t know if he’ll make it. If it had been a few minutes


    “I’ll arrive at the hospital in a moment,” Abigail uttered calmly, but she still didn’t believe she was wrong


    to suspect Kelly.


    Kelly’s intentions ining to Pendorf were clear, so no matter what she said, Abigail wouldn’t


    trust her.


    She was about to hang up the phone when Lina’s voice came from the other end. “Give me the phone.


    Why are you helping her?”


    “Grandma, Abigail had a valid reason for not answering Grandpa’s calls…”


    “Give it to me!”


    The conversation between the two sounded on the phone.


    Abigail immediately heard Lina’s voice as she uttered, “You don’t have toe anymore. Sean said he


    called you an hour ago, and you agreed toe over. An hourter, you’re still on the road. If you


    didn’t want toe, you should’ve just said so! Even if that old man passes away, it will be none of


    your business!”


    “When he called me, I was on the ne, about to take off-”


    “You don’t need to exin to me. I know you hate me, Sean, and our entire family. The old man. called


    you over a dozen times for help, yet you didn’t pick up a single call. You hold grudges against me. I can


    understand that. But wasn’t he good enough for you? Wasn’t Sean good enough for you? If you want to


    take revenge, just take it out on me. Why are you so heartless toward him?” Lina’s voice quivered as


    she scolded.


    Abigail replied while emphasizing each word, “I did not receive any calls!”


    “Stop making up excuses! Don’t bothering to the hospital, either. You’ll bring bad luck!” After


    1/3


    hanging up the phone, Lina blocked Abigail.


    Sitting in the car, Abigail felt speechless. She thought for a moment and decided to call Sean. After the


    call connected, she suppressed her pent-up frustration and asked him, “Is your signal okay now?”


    “Yeah.” His tone held restrained emotions.


    Abigail sensed that something was amiss, and she questioned in a self-mocking tone, “What are you


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    trying to say?”


    However, Sean thought she had something to say to him. He remained silent without an immediate


    response, which made her instantly understand his perspective on the matter.


    “Your grandpa is already in the hospital, with Kelly taking care of him. Your grandma is also extremely


    emotional right now, so I’m not going to see your grandpa anymore,” she informed him calmly, holding


    her grievances back.


    In the brief moment after Abigail finished her sentence, disappointment reached its peak for Sean. His


    voice turned cold as he uttered, “I couldn’t make it clear due to my bad signal, and it’s no one’s fault.


    Besides, the Quinns and our family have no connection. My call to you must have been a bother.”


    She hung up the phone abruptly. There was nothing more to say, and she no longer cared how he


    perceived it.


    After finally arriving at the airport, where the signal stabilized, he felt her phone call had ruined. his


    mood.


    “Is it possible that the information we found is incorrect?” Xavien asked, noticing his bad mood.


    “Do you even have confidence in the information you found? Why would you be asking me?!” Sean


    suddenly mmed his phone onto the table.


    Xavien immediately lowered his head.


    Lina had informed Sean that Colby had called Abigail multiple times, and she hadn’t answered.


    Sean didn’t believe it and had Cameron check the facts. However, they found out that Colby had


    indeed called Abigail several times, to which she did not answer. She had even sent a cold message,


    saying she was going to Capitalis for a business meeting and wouldn’t answer calls after boarding the


    ne.


    Colby had deleted that message. He probably didn’t want it to cause misunderstandings at such a


    critical moment and had erased it to protect her.


    But what about her? She hadn’t offered any exnation. She clearly knew the severity of the situation


    today, yet she didn’t even want to exin herself!


    2/3


    “Mr. Graham, even if the evidence we find shows that Mrs. Graham wasn’t involved with Old Mr.


    Graham, we both know her character.” Xavien, though fearful, ventured to say.


    Sean looked at him and replied, “You’re wrong. I’ve never truly understood her.”


    When Lina told him that she hadn’t answered the phone, he didn’t believe it. He wanted to investigate it


    himself, but the reality was even worse than what he had heard.


    When Abigail’s call came in, he had been thinking. What if it’s just a misunderstanding? Even if she


    said a single word firmly to exin that she had been misunderstood, he would immediately. stand by


    her side.


    Despite that, she chose to hang up the phone.


    Moreover, her attitude made Sean realize that she wasn’t very concerned about Colby’s condition.


    Sean also understood that Colby’s call to her was a nuisance, and she would just let him be if she was


    upied with something more important. Nevertheless, the fact that she wasn’t even willing to take a


    nce at Colby made Sean’s heart grow cold.
