Chapter 863 The Prodigal Son Won’t Return
Amidst his burgeoning businessmitments, Sean recognized the necessity for assistance. However, when he sought Xavien''s support, it was met
with a courteous refusal, Xavien proposing a more hands-off approach instead.
"We have ample resources. Simply sell it directly. The real concern lies in the future when you have children. You''ll find little time to manage work
matters. Unless you''re willing to delegate, neglecting them may lead to dire consequences,” Old Mr. Graham''s tone carried weight, underlining the
modern challenges of parenthood.
Sean nodded, conceding that he might have disregarded such advice in the past but now found himself in agreement. "You know what''s needed. I
won''t borate further," Old Mr. Graham concluded before returning to his tablet.
Subsequently, Sean reached out to Kevin and various contacts in Capitalis. As night fell, Abigail, Sean, and Kevin boarded a ne back to the city.
Wrapped in each other''s embrace, they watched the night sky, prompting Sean to inquire, “Grandfather asked whether the wedding should be in
Pendorf or Capitalis.”
Abigail paused, considering, “Let''s opt for Pendorf. Grandfather and Grandmother face difficulties with air travel due to their age. We''re young and
can manage a bit of inconvenience.”
"I had a feeling you''d say that.” Sean remarked with a smile. Observing the couple, Kevin couldn''t resist ament, "You two are inseparable, even
boarding the same flight as me."
"If it bothers you, find someone else to apany you,” Sean replied casually. Abigail nestled closer to Sean, asking, "How''s our young designer

"Are you teasing me?” Kevin quipped in response. lightening the mood
"Irene didn''t see eye to eye with him," Sean remarked bluntly.
Kevin''s expression darkened instantly. "Are you both teaming up against me?"
"No, we''re just stating the facts. Irene has been swampedtely, focusing on her own projects, right?" Abigail provided Irene with numerous
opportunities. Recently, she had taken on costume design for the drama group, which demanded her full attention. Irene, as always, sought guidance
from professors, conducted on-site research, and delved into various books.
"Thanks to you,” Kevin retorted unkindly.
"Irene may not excel in design, but it''s crucial to nurture her for your own benefit. Even if she doesn''t be exceptional. her solid design skills will
pave the way for sess in the future," Abigail emphasized. While talent was important, hard work and experience were equally vital for stability in
the long run.
For most people, stability was paramount.
Kevin couldn''t argue with that.

Kevin remarked.
Breaking through social barriers was challenging. While one might attain wealth, in Capitalis, money was abundant, and those with status were
plentiful.
"Kevin, you need to understand that this world is filled with ordinary people. While you may want to elevate her across social sses, not everyone
will share your intentions," Abigail spoke calmly, her eyes betraying little warmth.

"Hello, Mr. Graham. I''m Kadrick, the director of Capitalis. I was wondering if you could spare some time for dinner tomorrow." the voice on the other
end was polite, introducing himself.
Sean, unfamiliar with Kadrick, remained courteous. He suspected the invitation might be rted to a case and wanted to discuss it further. After a
brief exchange. Kadrick bid farewell.
"Who was that?" Abigail inquired, her arm linked with Sean''s.
Sean, still typing a message on his phone, replied, "The director of Capitalis, Kadrick. He may want to discuss a case."
Abigail nodded, sensing Sean''s reluctance to delve into official matters. She didn''t press further.
Leaning in conspiratorially, Kevin asked, "Do you think they''re nning tomend you?"
