Chapter 306 Progressing Smoothly
Ronaldo immediately understood what Abigail wanted to do. “That is indeed a good idea.”
After they returned to their hotel, Ronaldo sent his men to inquire. In less than two hours, they obtained useful information.
“I asked some of the locals, and they said that around 12.30AM last night, a middle-aged man with a group of people blindfolded and bound a young man and sent him onto a boat for illegal border crossing,” his subordinate reported.
When Ronaldo heard the news, he looked surprised. In fact, even Abigail was astonished. Sean was abducted? That’s why he couldn’t be reached!
“Are you sure? Are there any eyewitnesses or physical evidence?” Ronaldo inquired further.
“We’re still investigating,” his subordinate replied.
Tell them that money is not a problem; they will be generously rewarded as long as they provide valid evidence.” Ronaldo patted his subordinate’s shoulder with a meaningful smile on his face.
His men immediately rushed out to take care of it.
Ronaldo sat on a couch as he picked up his favorite fan and waved it languidly. “Now that my people are involved, as long as there’s evidence lying around, you can be 100% sure that it will be
found.”
Abigail nodded, but she still had many doubts. “Do you think it might be the Pearsons who abducted him?”
As he leaned back on the couch, he glanced at her and said with a nonchalant smile, “Can the Pearsons easily abduct him? The situation may not be as simple as it seems. Still, it was the right decision for you to come here.”
She could guess that he probably knew something from the way he was acting.
“Don’t worry too much. Just know that Mr. Graham is not an ordinary guy,” he rea*sured her, a*suming she was still concerned since she wasn’t speaking
“I know,” she replied. I don’t know Sean’s motives, but since Ronaldo says I’ve made the right decision to come here… Does that mean Sean was also taking a gamble?
She couldn’t figure it out. So, she decided to patiently wait for Ronaldo’s men to report back.
After three days in Cloudgrove, news about Sean’s illegal border crossing had been widely publicized. Combined with the online report and the video accusing him of letting Kingston take the blame, it had affected both Colby and Lina. Meanwhile, the Graham Family’s stock had been

plummeting.
“Old Mrs. Graham received information from somewhere saying that Sean offended the Pearsons for you and Grandma, leading to the exposure of his scandal. She even went to your house to cause a scene. Luckily, I managed to stop her. Otherwise, Grandma might have ended up in the hospital again.” Luna’s voice was filled with concern.
“I can’t return just yet. Please look after Grandma for me. Make sure Old Mrs. Graham never steps a single foot into my house ever again,” Abigail said, her tone serious. It had been four days, and there was still no news about Sean. She couldn’t help but feel increasingly worried.
“Don’t worry. I can handle things here. It’s just that Old Mr. Graham and Old Mrs. Graham have some trouble leaving their house now. The public is targeting the two elderly people mainly because of the blame-shifting incident. How did things escalate to this point?” Sure, Luna didn’t like Sean, but she had never wished for such a situation where everyone would be condemning him.
“That’s why I have to gather evidence in Cloudgrove to clear his name. He’s in this situation because of Grandma and me,” Abigail said.
“You should focus on what you need to do. Stay safe.” Luna ended the call with concern.
In the evening, one of Ronaldo’s subordinates returned to the hotel excitedly. “We found it!”
Abigail and Ronaldo immediately got up from the couch.
The delighted subordinate handed an SD card to Ronaldo. “We bought this from an influencer. He had heard about the serious issue of illegal border crossing here and wanted to create a video to raise awareness. He had been undercover for nearly a year and managed to capture the incident when Sean was sent away with his camera. Since it was an unusual occurrence, he was too scared to release the video and went into hiding”
“How did you find it, then?” Abigail instinctively questioned. Since the influencer went into hiding, they shouldn’t have found it so quickly.
“He contacted us voluntarily. He probably heard we were looking into it,” the subordinate explained.
They inserted the SD card into a phone to watch the video after purchasing an SD card reader.
The video had a clear perspective, showing a group of people forcibly sending Sean onto a boat, blindfolded and bound. Even their faces were visible in the video.
Abigail’s heart raced as she watched a disheveled-looking Sean being shoved onto the boat. This confirmed that he had indeed been sent out of the country.
“He truly was abducted. Could Cameron have gone with him?” Ronaldo said, but his expression didn’t show any hint of surprise.

“We can hand this video over to the police, right?” She looked at him.
“Yes. I recognize the middle-aged man in this video. He’s one of Josh’s second uncle’s butlers, and there’s an old lady who serves as a nanny. Both of them have specific roles in this abduction. This butler is highly regarded by Josh’s second uncle and serves as his right-hand man. It seems like we’re in for an interesting show.” His l*ps curled into a smile, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
