Chapter 340 I Hope You Never Get What You Want
Tears covered Joan’s face, and it fused with her blood, giving her a horrifying look. She sobbed quietly, muttering. “How could you do this to me, Sean? How could you?”
Snakey could not believe she was still thinking about Sean at this point. She’s hopeless. This woman is the most selfish I’ve ever seen. She’d betray her brother just to live a good life. “You can stay here and think. about Sean all you want. When your corpse is found a few weeks later, you’d be so decomposed that no one will recognize you. Not even him. Even if he does, he won’t care about you.” With that, he and his men left.
When everyone was gone, she eventually snapped out of her sadness. She was injured all over, and her cheeks were bleeding. She tried to struggle, but the pain almost made her faint. “Kingston…” She finally knew regret. When Kingston was around, she would never suffered like this. Now, she regretted not saving her brother.
“Kingston!” Joan shouted, shedding more tears. She missed the days he protected her. Those were happy days when no one would raise their voice at her. “I’m sorry, Kingston. Save me… It hurts…” She cried in the empty steel room, but those who once protected her did not show up.
Sean stood outside the room. Eventually, Joan’s cries slowed down, and silence finally came. Xavien and his men went inside to check, and he came out, reporting, “She fainted from excessive blood loss. If we don’t take her to the hospital, she’ll die.”
“Tell Kingston about Joan’s situation. If he gives me a good answer, I’ll spare her. Make sure you tell him to think about his answer long and hard. If I’m displeased, she will not come out of this place alive.” The look on Sean’s face was dark and icy.
Xavien told his man to carry out the order.
The sky started to brighten up when Joan woke from her coma and saw the white ceiling. overhead. She froze for a moment, and just when she was about to jump in ecstasy, she saw the cops beside her bed. Then, she turned the color of the ceiling.
“Miss Palmer, Sean of Graham International has lodged a report saying that you kidnapped his grandmother. We’ll need your cooperation for the investigation.” The cop looked solemn, and the air around felt bitingly chilly.
“I didn’t…” she denied.
Someone opened the door, and in came Sean and Xavien. The cop stated, “Old Mrs. Graham has told us you were involved in the abduction. You lured her out of the mountain and told her about the abduction plan, all to turn the Quinns and Grahams against each other. That’ll make it casy
for
you to marry Mr. Graham. And the other reason for this plan is that your brother is about to go to court. You were trying to use Old Mrs. Graham to threaten Ms. Quinn into settling the case
1/2
outside of court so your brother could get away scot-free.”
“I-I didn’t do it!” shouted Joan. She looked at Sean, her eyes filled with pain and disappointment. “Why? My brother risked his life for you, and this is how you repay me?”
He looked at her coldly. “For old times’ sake, I saved you and your brother from danger, but instead of thanking me for that, you repaid me with evil.”
Tears spilled out of her eyes. She raised her head, looking at him as she sobbed. “You pushed us into this personal hell for Abigail. You want to get back together with her? I’ll pray for you; I pray you never get the love of your life back! You’re a heartless b*stard! You don’t deserve love!” She cackled.
Xavien could see the storm on Sean’s face and darted ahead to grab Joan’s chin. “Shut it!”
“Don’t attack her!” said the cop sternly.
Sean pursed her l*ps and looked at her coldly. “He committed murder so many years ago and has confessed to it. So, you were already ruining his life back then. How old were you? Highschool age. I see some people are born evil.”
And because of what he said, Joan calmed down. She could not remember about that past. All she remembered was that because of her brother’s imprisonment, Sean sent her abroad and paid for her studies in the best school out there. She had unlimited pocket money, all the brand-name fashion goods she wanted, and a ton of jewelry. Slie resembled a princess, and her cla*smates. envied her.
She then came back and was known as Sean’s true love, enjoying all the care he had for her. One call from her, and he would drop everything just to see her, even if he was cuddling with Abigail. Wherever they were, as long as Joan was around, Abigail would take all the humiliation dished out at her due to his backing. Abigail would never go against him.
Those were the good old days. It was like a dream, and it pa*sed by Joan quickly. She had forgotten how she convinced her brother to commit that crime before he was jailed.
Sean knew that very well. “You cried to him, saying you wanted a better life. Because he dropped out of school too early, he couldn’t get any good jobs, so he hoped you’d have a bright future instead. That’s why he betrayed me and murdered someone. He strapped all the guilt on ne just to create the best environment for you, but you failed him, just like the failure
you are.”
