Chapter 336 Confessions.
“My side is ready, of course. The trial is in three days. Before that, we must get Abigail to agree to
mediation.”
Determined, Joan said, “Of course. When you’re done setting up, let me know, and I’ll be your inside contact.”
After hanging up the phone, she sneered and immediately ran toward Lina.
“Why have you been receiving so many phone calls these past few days?” Lina asked.
“Grandma, didn’t you ask me to gather information about Sean? I found that he might remarry Abigail.” Joan said softly, holding Lina’s hand.
Hearing that, Lina blew a fuse. “What did you say? What happened?”
Joan quickly patted Lina’s ch*st and said, “He’s been spending a lot of time with Abigail lately. even leaving his most trusted aide with her. They seem to get along well. Last time, Abigail’s grandmother even invited him over for a meal. Who knows what schemes those two are plotting behind our backs?”
“Sean has truly disappointed me. No wonder he doesn’t let me come to his place. It’s to be with her!” Lina exclaimed and turned to head back to the house, wanting to find Sean immediately.
He didn’t want to get married, so I didn’t push him, but now he’s together with Abigail again. What’s the point of marrying a woman who can’t bear children? Also, I can’t stand being in the same frame as Abigail Either she stays or I stay.
At once, Joan held her back, saying. “If you go now, you might find nothing. Let me investigate first and call you later so you don’t end up making a wasted trip, okay?”
“You’re right, Lina said, coming to a halt.
On her way out of the Graham Estate, Joan made a phone call to Kingston’s buddy and notified him to start setting up.
Kingston’s trial was approaching, and Abigail was feeling nervous. The closer it got the more anxious she became.
After all, Joan had been quiet for a while, and she had been busy with work recently, so she hadn’t paid much attention to Joan’s actions. She didn’t know if there were any schemes brewing behind
the scenes.
Unable to sleep, she was about to get up to watch TV show when Sean’s call came in.
Her heart rated as she answered the call. She didnt say anything but feared that he would once
1/3
again try to convince her to accept mediation for the sake of Kingston and Joan.
“You probably don’t know much about the history between Kingston and me,” he suddenly said.
Abigail hummed in acknowledgment, but she didn’t understand why he was telling her this now.
“Back then, Kingston was indeed under my command. Only after he got into trouble did Cameron come to work for me. Kingston and I knew each other from our school days. He was always a bit of a rogue but a very loyal person.” He started to speak with a hint of nostalgia in his
tone.
After graduating from high school, Kingston didn’t get into a good university, so he went to work instead.
During that time, Sean’s relationship with Kingston and Joan was quite simple, like childhood friends who had grown up together.
On the contrary, Sean inherited Graham International following his college graduation. Being young, he faced a lot of challenges from the higher-ups who coveted his position. They even conspired with other owners to undermine him, all to make the shareholders believe that he wasn’t fit for the job.
“Kingston approached me during that time. I did need someone to handle some dirty business for me, and he volunteered. I later found out that after he graduated, he had been doing various odd jobs, risking his life for others because they paid well. I thought that if he worked for me, at the very least, I wouldn’t ask for his life,” Sean explained.
“In those days, we became closer, and my relationship with Joan evolved from a casual one into a close partnership. Until that day…”
It was the day Kingston got into trouble.
On that day, as usual, Sean finished a meeting at a hotel and was on his way back. The car was en route to Graham Estate when it was blocked at a relatively secluded spot and was even vandalized. They had a fierce altercation, but they eventually subdued the attackers.
However, as they were about to leave, one of the attackers managed to break free, wielding a knife and charging toward Sean.
“I could have defended myself, and I was prepared to, but Kingston had a knife too. He slashed the attacker’s throat, and many of my people were scared. Since someone’s throat was cut, they accused me of doing it. Kingston’s knife was covered in blood, so fingerprints couldn’t be detected. In the end, he insisted that he had done it, and he ended up in jail. That’s how the matter concluded.”
Sean ended his explanation with a deep sigh.
Meanwhile, Abigail finally understood that he was probably not feeling too great about Kingston
2/3
going to jail again.
“He indeed helped me a lot and even risked his life for me. For a while, we lived worry-free together. It was actually a very happy time, he confessed his feelings for the first time.
About that, Abigail could empathize. Sometimes, when beautiful memories were shattered by harsh reality, even someone like Sean could feel sorrow. After all, humans were bound by their emotions and desires.
“Abigail, everything will be resolved in two days,” he said, ending the call. He didn’t want to see her suffer anymore.
