Ch. 541..550

I Want a Divorce Chapter 541-Your Grandson Listens To Me Most of the time, Abigail felt that her involvement with the Pearson Family was on the verge of being discovered.

Naturally, she understood the implications of the Pearsons’ current attitude towards her. However, she didn’t want to vocalize it or acknowledge it.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Eric realized he had said something wrong and quickly apologized.

“It’s okay.” She shook her head.

After he finished his meal, she had her assistant prepare a bed for him, and he went to sleep.

Just as Abigail was busy with work, a phone call from an unknown number interrupted her.

She answered the call, and before she could speak, she heard the voice of an elderly lady from the other end. “Ms. Quinn, is Eric with you?” Immediately, her expression turned cold. “Old Mrs. Davidson?” “So, you remember me. Maisy snorted. “Ms. Quinn, I know you’re a good person. A good person shouldn’t be causing trouble behind the scenes, right?” “What trouble? Be clear.” Abigail’s tone remained unwavering.

“The Pearsons and the Davidsons have been friends for several generations.

We, as the elders, will handle Eric’s situation. What are your intentions in meddling and encouraging Eric and his parents to sue the Pearsons’ daughter?” Maisy didn’t hold back.

Regardless of whether Abigail was a good person or not. Maisy couldn’t politely discuss such matters with her.

In fact, Abigail understood Maisy’s perspective very well. After all, Maisy was from an older generation, and the relationships between the two families, the reputations of both families, and even Eric’s own. future were all more important than the harm he was enduring.

Moreover, Maisy must certainly feel that Lily was the one at a disadvantage, considering that in her value system, a woman’s chastity was more important than anything else.

“I have no ill intentions. As Eric’s friend, of course, I stand by his side. I won’t consider this crime justified just because he is male,” Abigail replied calmly.

At this point, Maisy was getting angry. “The Davidson Family’s matters do not need interference from an outsider.” “I’ll say it again. Eric is my friend, and I care more about his emotions than about the relationship between your family and the Pearson Family,” replied Abigail with a colder tone.

Displeased, Maisy asked, “So, you have decided to interfere?” “I won’t interfere anymore. I’ve said what needed to be said, and the rest is for your family and the Pearson Family to decide,” Abigail responded coldly. Since she had done everything she could, there was no need for further involvement.

Moreover, she had already informed Eric about the strategy of waiting for Sean to investigate Vincent’s 1/3 ulterior motives.

“If that’s the case, let Eric come back,” Maisy said firmly.

“I’ll talk to him about it when he wakes up,” Abigail replied.

After the call ended, Abigail let out a sigh of helplessness as she looked at the closed door of the resting room.

She had always envied their wealth and power, having support for everything they did. However, when trouble arose, there would be many considerations.

Even if they were wronged, they had to endure it.

When Eric woke up, it was already late in the day. Abigail ordered food, and they had it together. Just as they were about to finish eating, she suddenly said, “I spoke to Ronaldo and suggested that you go to his place for a while.” “Why?” He thought she might be concerned about the media catching them together.

“Your grandmother called me today, and she was quite firm. I told her I would ask you to go back, but whether you go back or not, I’ll leave it for you to decide,” she answered with a smile.

Upon reflection, he felt it might be a good idea. If he left Capitalis, Maisy wouldn’t be able to find him, and there wasn’t much the Pearson Family could do. Even if they announced a marriage between the two families, the Pearson Family couldn’t do anything if he didn’t return.

After sending Eric off, Abigail and Cameron took a flight to Pendorf. It seemed like they would be staying in Pendorf for a while.

“Since we’re in Pendorf, how about staying at the Graham Estate?” Cameron suggested.

After some consideration, Abigail shook her head and declined. “We’ll visit him, and then I’ll go back to my own place. By the way, it’s been a while since I visited my company in Pendorf.” He reluctantly agreed, saying, “Okay” When they arrived at the Graham Estate, they witnessed an argument between Analise and Lina at the entrance.

“Old hag, what do you think you’re doing, coming to my house and acting all high and mighty?” Lina had thrown a handful of beans at Analise before fleeing.

Analise, who was watering plants, got hit by the beans. In response, she chased after Lina with the watering. can in hand and then poured water over her. “Are you not planning to eat dinner tonight? You’ve wasted all these beans! Just go hungry tonight!” “Ah! How dare you pour water on me? I’m going to tell my grandson!” Lina struggled and shouted.

While pressing Lina’s head, Analise continued pouring water over her. “Your grandson listens to me now, you foolish old hag with a scrambled brain!” At the entrance, Cameron glanced at Abigail, who had a complicated expression. She was uncertain about whether to enter the house or not.

“Let’s go. They’ve been like this for two months now,” he told her.

“Are Old Mr. Graham and Sean not intervening?” she couldn’t help asking.

“Nope. Old Mr. Graham secretly said that Old Mrs. Graham deserves a lesson, and it’s good that Old Mrs. Quinn is keeping her in check,” he replied.

As she was about to say something more, Sean opened a window on the second floor. “Why are you two not coming in?*

Seeing that, Cameron thought that Sean had opened the window at just the right moment, as he was afraid. that Abigail might leave when she saw Lina.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 542-Embrace Again Cameron and Abigail stepped into the yard.

Completely drenched, Lina pushed aside Analise, who was sitting on her, when she saw Abigail. She tugged at her soaking wet hair and examined Abigail closely.

After a while, she finally recognized that the elite businesswoman in front of her was none other than Abigail.

It’s been over half a year and look at her now, so confident and powerful. No wonder that old hag Analise constantly bullies me and even starves me. It’s

because her granddaughter has become successful, so she has someone to support her!

On the other hand, Abigail only glanced at her before entering the house.

Suddenly, Lina realized something. She didn’t dare to cause trouble for Abigail like she did before and even felt a bit afraid of her.

“Old lady, aren’t you going to change your clothes? Do you want to be laughed at?” Analise reminded her.

“Do I need you to tell me? Old hag!” Lina was furious.

It’s your fault I became a laughingstock. You two are just… Although she felt wronged, she couldn’t find the right words to express it.

When Abigail entered Sean’s room, she sat directly on the comfortable recliner and crossed her legs. “Both of the old ladies downstairs are about to bring the house down with their fighting. Don’t you want to intervene?” “To be honest, I watch them fight every day, and I find it quite entertaining. Stuck in his room, Sean felt quite bored. He had been reading until the afternoon, but he couldn’t resist the allure of the spectacle unfolding below-the two old folks fighting in the yard.

She didn’t understand his perspective. “You should still stop them occasionally.

Your grandmother was drenched in water. What if she gets sick? Older people are more susceptible to illness. You shouldn’t spoil Grandma too much.” “For so long, Old Mrs. Quinn has spoiled me like a child so I think it’s fair to let her have some fun. Besides, my grandmother used to bully you quite a bit in the past, so why not let your grandmother stand up to her?” he said, lowering his voice with a pleased expression on his face.

Uncomfortable, she adjusted her hair with her hand. “Let’s not dwell on the past.” “Got it,” he immediately replied.

“How is your body? Do you still feel pain in your chest?” She suddenly became serious.

In response, he raised his hand to press against his chest. “It’s okay, no more pain.” He still felt a slight ache when he breathed, but the doctor had said that the recovery process would take at least six months.

Abigail nodded. “That’s good. Okay, you read your book. I’ll sit here for a while and leave after having dinner.

O 13 Though he wanted to ask her to stay, he didn’t say anything. He knew she didn’t enjoy being here, so he didn’t want to upset her.

After that, he sat down and continued reading the book he had wanted to read earlier.

Meanwhile, Abigail leaned back on the couch and took out her phone to reply to messages from her employees.

After reading for about ten minutes, Sean looked up and noticed that she had fallen asleep on the couch. Perhaps she was too tired from work… He came down from the window nook, grabbed a blanket, and gently covered her with it. When he saw her hair covering her face, he gently moved it behind her ears.

He then squatted beside the couch, watching her for a while before standing up.

After adjusting the temperature slightly higher with the remote control, he returned to the window nook to continue reading his book.

Abigail slept for two hours before waking up, and when she saw that it was already dark outside, she immediately sat up. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” “Is your work exhausting you?” he asked.

His room had a soothing aroma. Combined with the flowers and plants in the room, it created a warm atmosphere.

“Not really. It’s just that flying on the plane is quite tiring,” she stubbornly replied.

Yet, he didn’t question her further. “Grandma has prepared dinner for you. After you eat, Cameron can take you back.” She nodded and yawned. As she took a step, she suddenly realized that her foot had fallen asleep.

“Ouch!” she exclaimed, reaching out to support herself on the coffee table.

However, Sean had already taken a quick step forward and held her waist.

He steadied her, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you okay? Did you twist your foot?” As he said that, he looked at the ground. “Did the rug trip you?” Abigail was wearing disposable slippers, which had soft soles and were easily caught by the rug.

“No, it’s probably because I held one position for too long, and one of my legs fell asleep,” she explained as she moved her leg.

He hummed in understanding. When he looked up, she was also looking at him.

Their eyes met, and a shift in his emotions became evident from his eyes.

Likewise, her heart skipped a beat. She instinctively pulled away and said, “I’m fine now. I’ll go have my dinner.” Scan reluctantly released her.

After leaving his room, Abigail combed her hair and sighed with relief. She then quickly headed towards the stairs.

They had once been a couple, sharing the most intimate moments. So, she knew very well the meaning.

behind his gaze. Although she briefly reminisced about their past in that moment, she quickly regained. her composure since all of that was in the past.

Back on the first floor, Colby saw Abigail and immediately smiled. “My dear, don’t overwork yourself. You should rest more.” She responded with a hum without elaborating.

Quickly, Analise served her a meal. After Abigail finished eating, she looked satisfied. “Your cooking is still my favorite.” “What’s wrong? Don’t the company’s chefs do a good job?” Analise looked at her affectionately from across the table.

With a smile, Abigail adjusted her hair. “Even if they do a good job, it’s not as delicious as your cooking.” Just then, she saw Lina walking out of the kitchen.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 543-A Meaningless Bath Lina discreetly carried a plate while Analise had her back turned, but Abigail caught her in the act, leaving her standing there awkwardly. Sensing the tension, Lina immediately turned around.

“You said you’d rather starve than eat this. Why? Feeling hungry now?” Analise taunted with a smirk.

As Sean descended the stairs, he overheard Lina complaining, “Sean, did you hear that? This elderly lady wants to starve me!”

“Old Mrs. Quinn has been threatening to starve you for a month, but you’re still as strong as ever. You can even take her on,” Sean calmly replied as he sat down next to Colby, preparing to watch TV.

Furious, Lina sat at the dining table with her plate. She shamelessly took a few bites and then glanced at Abigail.

Abigail felt quite uncomfortable in this situation. The arrogant old lady was now genuinely despised by everyone.

Despite that, Abigail elegantly and slowly ate her meal.

Lina, on the other hand, ate while sneaking glances at Abigail. After observing Abigail throughout the meal, she became increasingly annoyed.

Unable to hold back any longer, she started to criticize, “Why don’t you control her, Analise? Why would a young girl dye her hair this color?” “Can’t you keep your mouth shut even while eating?” Analise scolded.

“And her clothing. Why would a young girl dress with such a low neckline, almost exposing her chest? Sean, don’t you know how to control her? You follow her around all day, and you can’t even control her,” Lina continued, finding fault with Sean.

Without paying much attention, Abigail continued to sip her soup. She thought that Lina’s criticism would bother her, but now she found that she didn’t feel anything. Maybe she genuinely didn’t care anymore.

On the contrary, Sean was getting irritated, so he walked up to Lina, saying, “Why do you care about what she’s wearing? Are you not hungry?” “I am hungry,” Lina replied, taking a few more bites of her food.

“Mind your own business. She’s single, and she can dress however she wants.

Even if she were married, she could still dress as she pleased. How can a fashion designer not wear stylish clothes? How can she convince her fans?” He admonished her.

After finishing her soup, Abigail told Analise, “I should head back now.” Lina glanced outside and muttered, “Why go back when it’s so dark? The mountain road is not well maintained, and it’s easy for cars to skid. Remember last month? Steff’s daughter-in-law was in a car accident because the car skidded.” Sean was surprised by her words, and Analise immediately became nervous. “I forgot about that. Abigail….” “Cameron drives quite steadily,” Sean reassured them. In fact, he was worried that Abigail wouldn’t be able to sleep well here.

O 1/2 “No wonder you still failed after pursuing her for so long. It’s only right for you to stay single for letting her go back so late at night,” Lina continued, grumbling.

Hearing that, Sean was annoyed. Who caused me to be single? Now, you’re making snide remarks?

At this moment, Abigail couldn’t help but ask, “Old Mrs. Graham, do you want me to stay overnight?” Lina felt embarrassed by the question and waved her hand, saying, “If you don’t want to stay, it’s fine. If something happens to you, just make sure your grandmother won’t beat me up.” “Grandma, I’ll stay.” Abigail told Analise.

“Okay.” Analise was genuinely worried about her safety, and she was delighted to hear that she would be staying.

Likewise, Sean was happy, and he thought that Lina had finally done something good for once.

Although Abigail decided to stay, there were no suitable clothes for her to wear in the house. Analise’s clothes were too short, and her pants were too big, while Lina’s clothes were definitely not something Abigail would want to wear. In the end, Sean offered one of his shirts.

In the bathroom, Analise was washing Abigail’s underwear, planning to dry it with a hair dryer for her to wear the next morning.

When Sean entered to deliver the shirt, he said, “I’ll do it. You can rest, Grandma.” “Oh, I can’t let you do that.” Analise blushed.

“It’s okay,” he said. Abigail had always been his wife in his heart, so drying her underwear was not a big deal.

The two elderly people in the house were not fond of using high-tech products, so they didn’t have a dryer. The hair dryer was something Sean had bought after he woke up.

Sean returned to his room and slowly blow-dried Abigail’s underwear. As he watched, his mind was filled with inappropriate thoughts.

On the other hand, when Abigail came out of the bathroom, she couldn’t find the hair dryer she had asked Sean to bring into the room.

Turning around, she saw Sean holding the hair dryer in one hand and her underwear in the other.

Instantly, her face turned beet red. She walked over to him and snatched her underwear and the hair dryer from him.

“Grandma was going to help you, but she’s had a busy day. I asked her to go downstairs and watch TV,” he explained.

“I got it.” She nodded.

With his shirt on her body, it extended to cover her thighs, barely concealing her bottom. This view was incredibly alluring and sensual.

Seeing that, Sean felt his mouth go dry, so he quickly turned and left the room.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he might inadvertently cross a line with her.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 544-Like A Married Couple Taking A Stroll After blow-drying her hair, Abigail glanced at her neatly arranged underwear on the bed and couldn’t help but mutter, “Grandma should just leave it.” However, she ended up putting it on, not wanting to sleep naked.

As she lay down on the bed, a yawn escaped her lips. Perhaps she had been exhausted for a long time, as she quickly fell asleep.

It was only around 9.00PM, and Analise usually didn’t go to bed until 10.30PM.

Meanwhile, Sean took a cold shower in his room to calm down and then quietly approached Analise’s room. He gently opened the door and saw that Abigail had

already fallen asleep. Feeling relieved, he stood by the door, watching her.

After a while, Abigail turned in her sleep and kicked the covers off.

Sean’s shirt was a bit short, and when he caught a glimpse of her long legs, he couldn’t help but think, “Well, that bath was pointless.” He entered the room, sat down on the bedside, and gently covered her legs with the blanket. His hand rested on top of them.

“Why are you pushing yourself so hard? You’re exhausting yourself,” he thought to himself.

He stayed with Abigail until Analise entered the room.

Just as he got up and was ready to return to his room, Analise asked him in a low voice, “Why are you here?” “She’s just like a child, kicking off the covers. I was worried she might catch a cold, so I stayed for a while, he replied with a smile.

Hearing that, Analise felt that he was overly concerned. When he wasn’t by her side, Abigail was perfectly. fine.

As Analise lay down, Abigail glanced at her half-asleep and then hugged her.

“Grandma.” “Yes, I’m here.” Analise also hugged her.

Just like when she was a child, Abigail nestled against Analise’s embrace, softly murmuring. “This feels so nice. It’s been so long since I slept with you, Grandma.” “You’re like a child,” Analise said with a smile. “Sean was here with you for over an hour, and even notice?” you didn’t “Huh?” Abigail was in a deep sleep, so she had no idea that there was someone in the room.

“It’s okay. Go back to sleep.” Analise patted her head.

With a hum, Abigail closed her eyes again. She always felt completely safe beside her grandmother.

In the morning, Abigail changed into her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. Shortly after, Se also came downstairs.

1/3 He seemed like he hadn’t slept well, as he did not look very energetic.

“Didn’t sleep well?” Analise asked, looking at him.

“Um. I had some discomfort at night, so I couldn’t sleep, Sean made an excuse.

Indeed, he had thought about Abigail all night. He had been tossing and turning, wishing she was by his side.

With a smile, Analise said, “Come have your breakfast. Abigail has decided to stay here for a while. After you’re done eating, accompany her to the company.

You haven’t been out for a long time; it’s time to get some fresh air.” “Grandma, his body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Why let him run around?” Abigail knew that Analise was trying to create opportunities for the two of them again.

“Staying in bed for so long has made his body stiff. Going for a walk will do him good,” Analise said firmly.

“Okay. I’ll listen to you, Grandma,” he said with a smile on his face.

Without saying much, Abigail slowly ate her breakfast.

Sean had a specially prepared breakfast, and after eating, he felt much more energized.

Afterward, Cameron drove them down the mountain. With a casual appearance and a mask, Sean looked like a handsome man with a good physique.

Abigail spent some time at the company and then went to explore Pendorf with Sean.

It had been a long time since she had returned, and Pendorf had changed quite a bit..

While Sean was buying coffee for Abigail on the side of the road, he put one hand in his pocket and asked, “How about going to the museum?” “Is there anything special in the museum?” she asked as she sipped her coffee.

“They acquired some beautiful antiques last year. They might inspire you,” he replied.

“Then let’s go take a look,” Abigail responded.

She deliberately wore a mask and a hat, as her silver hair was too noticeable.

All the while, Cameron followed not too far behind. He took a picture of them and sent it to Xavien.

“Don’t they look like a married couple taking a stroll?” “I’m at work, and you’re out for a stroll? Didn’t you say you were going to be demoted?” Xavien, who was working hard, was quite unhappy.

“Your monthly salary is 300 thousand. Are you really comparing yourself to me, who earns 3,000 a month?” Cameron indignantly replied.

When he looked up, he realized that Abigail and Sean had disappeared. “Oh no!

I can’t even handle being a bodyguard! I’ve lost track of my two bosses.” |||

O 2/3 Immediately, he started looking around for them.

On the other hand, Abigail glanced back and noticed that Cameron had disappeared. She muttered, “Cameron lost track of us. What a fool.” “Let him have fun on his own,” Sean said.

With that, she sent a message to Cameron. “Have fun on your own. Don’t look for us. We’ll explore on our own.” Cameron, who was drenched in sweat from searching, received Abigail’s message and was deeply moved. “Ms. Quinn, you’re the kindest and best boss in history. I love you.” After sending the message, he immediately received a message from Sean.

“Love who?” “Love you, Dad.” Cameron immediately gave in.

Seeing that, Sean thought to himself, “I didn’t know I had a grown-up son. Is it because I’m too gentle now that even Cameron doesn’t fear me anymore, even daring to call himself my son?” On the side, Abigail saw him holding his phone, squinting and looking unhappy.

Curious, she leaned in to take a look and burst out laughing. “I remember Cameron wasn’t this shameless before,” she couldn’t help but remark.

“It’s because you’re too gentle that he has forgotten the hardships he used to endure.” Sean put away his phone. “Well, never mind.”

I Want a Divorce Chapter 545-No Advantage In Mate Selection As Abigail strolled leisurely, she spoke in a casual tone. “Cameron has had a difficult time as well. He lost an eye for me. I would feel guilty if I didn’t treat him well.” She relied on Cameron quite a bit and didn’t usually burden him with much work. So, his monthly salary of 3,000 was practically a bonus.

Upon hearing her words, Sean glanced at her and asked, “Do you feel remorseful?” “Of course. He’s a handsome young man who needs to get married sooner or later. Without one eye, he’ll lose the advantage in choosing a partner.” She

cared deeply about the eye Cameron had lost. As long as she was around, she would protect him.

“In that case, give him a raise. Xavien makes 300 thousand a month, and Cameron is really envious,” Sean couldn’t help but suggest. “They risk their lives to work for us, primarily for the sake of earning more money. But of course, over time, emotions also come into play.” “How much do you think is appropriate?” she asked.

“When he was with me, it was 75 thousand a month, equivalent to being at my beck and call 24/7, he answered. Otherwise, those bodyguards wouldn’t have risked their lives to save him and Xavien.

I should give him a slightly lower amount so he won’t have to risk his life when there’s danger,” she said in a gentle tone.

He smiled and didn’t say anything else.

The two of them soon entered the museum.

There weren’t many people in the museum, and everyone spoke in hushed tones, with some taking pictures.

Abigail stopped when she saw a beautiful piece of jewelry and read the description next to it.

At that moment, Sean took out his phone and snapped a picture. When he looked at her, he also took a picture of her.

“It’s truly beautiful,” she said to him after admiring it.

“Yeah.” In fact, he hadn’t paid much attention to the exhibit; he was focused on her.

As they continued walking, she saw a gemstone that caught her eye.

There were also glass goblets and various other exquisite artifacts, some of which she photographed, while others she simply admired.

After an hour, they had finished their tour.

When Abigail went to the restroom, she handed her bag to Sean.

Just as she left, her phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Capitalis with no caller ID. With a cold gaze, he stared at it.

After ringing for more than 20 seconds without being answered, the call came again.

|||

O 1/3 This time, he pressed the answer button but remained silent.

Maisy was the first to speak. “Where’s Eric? Abigail, I was polite to you yesterday, but you didn’t want to listen. Let me tell you- “Who are you?” Sean interrupted her directly. Of course, he knew that this might be Eric’s grandmother.

When Maisy heard a man’s voice, she was momentarily stunned and then asked, “Who are you? Isn’t this Abigail’s phone?” “I’m her assistant. She’s on a business trip to Pendorf, and the person you’re looking for isn’t here. She came alone.” He pretended to be polite.

“Oh…” This made Maisy feel quite embarrassed. “You really didn’t see Eric with her? I’m talking about that famous star, Eric Davidson.” “No. Since he knows you’re looking for him, how could he come to a place as close as Pendorf with Ms. Quinn?” He engaged in conversation with her.

Upon hearing his words, she sighed and said thank you before hanging up.

The moment Sean put down the phone and turned around, he saw Abigail looking at him.

“Call from the Davidson Family?” She didn’t blame him for answering her phone.

“Yeah.” He nodded.

As she took her bag, her expression turned cold. “Old Mrs. Davidson is really stubborn. Even after what happened to Eric, she’s still claiming that the person who drugged him suffered even more. It’s ridiculous! If he wasn’t drugged in the first place, nothing would have happened.” “You’re different from many people. Most of them, when they see a man being seduced by a woman, they’ll just gloat and say he’s lucky.” Sean and Abigail walked away from the museum’s restroom area. together.

“I judge matters based on their merits, not based on gender,” she said in a serious tone.

With a smile, he asked, “Eric must be touched, right?” “How would I know?” She countered. It was difficult for an outsider to discern Eric’s true feelings.

“If- “Stop.” Immediately, she interrupted him, and under his innocent gaze, she took a deep breath and said, “You won’t experience what happened to Eric. Trust your team of bodyguards, okay?” Confused, he blinked a few times. “I never even thought about such a thing.

Who asked you such a question?” “Cameron. As you know, he’s quite peculiar,” she said.

Hearing her answer, he silently clenched his fist. Who could do such a thing to someone like Cameron, with his level of combat skills? He’s so melodramatic in front of Abigail.

“I was trying to say that if Eric decides to take this matter to court, do you think Lily will be legally held accountable?” he asked her.

“I’m not sure about that.” “It seems there’s no clear regulation right now, and there might not be any consequences if they sue.” Sean had also done some research over the past few days and hadn’t found many similar cases.

Frowning. Abigail asked. “So the Pearson Family might escape legal punishment?” “This is not the only crime they have committed. Since Vincent is collaborating with the underground industry, he must have some illicit money he can’t launder.

That’s why they want to involve the Davidson. Family. Right now, they’re the ones in a hurry. As long as Eric prolongs the situation and doesn’t get married, it will work in our favor,” he explained slowly, The truth would eventually come to light; it would just take time. As long as Eric could handle the pressure, there wouldn’t be any issues on Sean’s end.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 546-She Needs A Reality Check Abigail nodded, realizing that she should inform Ronaldo later to ensure that Eric is taken around and not put in a compromising position.

They spent the entire day out and had dinner before returning to the Graham Estate.

Upon arriving home, they witnessed Analise and Liná arguing in the yard once again.

“Hey, I asked you to till the soil. Have you not eaten? How do you expect anything to grow with such compact soil?” Analise scolded angrily.

Pounding her back, Lina retorted, “I’m already doing you a favor by working with you. I have enough to eat and drink. Why should I farm? I’m tired of it!” “You have nothing else to do, so just farm! It’s good for you to experience some hardship. You useless old hag!” Analise scolded.

After hearing all this, Sean craned his neck to look inside the yard. “They certainly have a lot of energy to argue every day.” Meanwhile, Abigail massaged her temples and sighed. “Two old troublemakers.” At that moment, he suddenly turned around and looked into her eyes seriously.

“Do you still hold a grudge against Grandma? Do you find it difficult to get along with her? If you still feel uncomfortable, I can have Cameron drive you back to the city since it’s not late now.” “Before, I used to think I didn’t want to see her, but when I actually met her, I didn’t feel anything,” she replied.

Furthermore, Lina had changed a bit. Perhaps being deceived so badly by Kelly made her reconsider her actions. If she hadn’t been genuinely innocent, she would be in prison by now.

“That’s good. I’ve asked people to prepare some clothes and a guest room for you. You can stay here for a month to rest,” he said and turned to walk into the yard.

“Your grandmother became more obedient after staying in the police station for quite some time,” she whispered as she followed him.

With a smile, he said, “She needed a reality check.” “Do you know about her situation?” she asked.

Suddenly, he paused. Seemingly worried that Lina might find out, he walked closer to her and spoke in at hushed tone. “I had a suspicion when Grandpa told me, but I wanted to see what they were up to, so I didn’t interfere. My grandma is the type who won’t change her ways unless she faces a major setback.” “But I didn’t know about her involvement in the romance scam, of course,” he added.

Abigail nodded silently.

Sean continued, “A few days ago, I asked her about her thoughts on Kelly, and she got furious, saying at least you were honest, without as many bad intentions, “She’s mocking me. A smile tugged at her lips.

|||

O 1/3 He said with a smile, “You’ve always been honest.” Hearing that, she thought, I used to deceive you back when we were deeply in love, but that’s all in the past.

Now that she had returned here, she felt neither fear nor resentment. She simply didn’t have strong emotions about it anymore, perhaps because she genuinely didn’t care and had let go of the past.

Inside the living room, Xavien was busy organizing a stack of documents. When he saw Sean, he immediately stood up and called out, “Mr. Graham, these are the recent company documents you need to review.” Abigail glanced at the pile of documents. That’s quite a lot.

Sean had initially planned to spend some quality time with Abigail, but the workload was too demanding. so he had to attend to his immediate tasks.

“Xavien, are you feeling alright?” she asked casually as she sat down on a couch.

Immediately, Xavien replied, “I’m fine, Ms. Quinn. Thank you for asking.” “Take a break. Don’t work too hard all the time. Abigail was a considerate boss.

Meanwhile, Xavien was grateful for her concern. “Thank you, Ms. Quinn.” “Just rest. I’ll take care of these, Sean said, picking up the documents and resuming his business-like tone from his days at the company.

With that, Xavien sat down quietly and took out his phone to reply to messages from his friends.

The three of them sat silently in the living room.

Abigail also chatted with Luna, and she learned from her that Lily had been causing a scene because Eric had run away. She cried and even attempted self-harm, causing chaos in the entire Pearson Family.

“What are Josh’s parents’ opinions?” In fact, she believed that Lawrence held a certain level of influence within the Pearson Family. If he were to step forward and oppose this marriage, what could Vincent’s family do? After all, the Pearson Family’s financial power was in Lawrence’s hands, and with economic influence came a certain level of authority.

‘His father hasn’t been home for a while. I don’t know what he’s up to. As for his mother, she neither supports nor opposes; she simply observes the chaos in Vincent’s family.

Abigail couldn’t comprehend why Vincent’s family dared to create such a commotion, ‘No matter what, Eric won’t give in,’ she responded.

“That’s good. Eric is the best actor on TV. His parents have successful careers too. Lily couldn’t even pass her exams abroad. How could she be worthy of him? If they were dating like a normal couple, I wouldn’t bring up this hierarchy, but drugging someone is just unacceptable.

Luna became quite talkative when discussing gossip.

I think it’s Lily’s parents who encouraged her. I don’t think her not-so-bright mind could come up with something like this on her own.” Seeing that, Abigail thought, You’re right.

‘Oh, Lynette is back too. You know her, right? She says she really likes you. She wanted to invite you to dinner, but since you’re in Pendorf, she couldn’t.

Abigail certainly remembered Lynette. She was a clever girl from the Pearson Family as well.

Lynette said that Lily and she are both studying at the same college in Ansela, but they are in different departments. She mentioned that Lily is extremely vain and flaunts her wealth within her social circle every day.”

I Want a Divorce Chapter 547-Lina’s Plea Upon reading the message, Abigail couldn’t help but inquire further. “She flaunts her wealth?” “Yes, Lynette mentioned that before the Pearson Family’s children started their own businesses, they only received a fixed allowance of 600 thousand per year.

However, Lily seems to spend more than 1.2 million every month. Oh, do you remember that fashion design game you were involved in? She spent nearly 1.5 million on it in just one month.” Considering what Sean had told her, Abigail typed slowly. “Keep asking Lynette for more details.”

After Luna agreed, she discussed this unusual situation with Sean.

“Xavien, please check the financial transactions of Lily Pearson.” “Okay.” While Xavien was on the phone, she couldn’t help but ask Sean, “Do you think this could be a breakthrough?” “It should be. Sometimes, gossip can be quite useful,” he said with a smirk.

“In the past, gossip was called intelligence gathering,” she noted. When it came to gathering information, sometimes listening to gossip was more effective than conducting formal investigations.

He nodded in agreement at her words.

Afterward, the living room fell silent once again.

Lina and Analise came down from upstairs, and as soon as Lina saw Sean, she complained to him. “You should control her a little. I’m already so old, and I’m still farming with her. If I don’t do it, she’ll make a fuss. My back is hurting so much now.” She couldn’t understand why Analise was so energetic. The latter had tilled the garden’s soil and covered the villa’s rooftop with soil. Now, she was forcing Lina to till the soil, causing her back to be on the verge of breaking.

“Old Mrs. Quinn likes to exercise. Look how strong she is now. You should exercise with her more, Sean said.

In fact, he really liked Analise’s attitude toward life. Even though the family didn’t lack food, she still lived life according to her preferences. He had visited the rooftop vegetable garden: it was beautiful and full of vitality.

<

Yet, Lina could hardly bear it anymore, as her back was about to break. How can this be healthy? She slumped on the couch, wearing a disgruntled expression. “With Analise around, you don’t even know who your real grandmother is.” “I’m afraid that if you’re still the same as before, not knowing your place, you’ll get into trouble. Old Mrs. Quinn should control you so that you won’t create trouble when you’re too free,” he said seriously.

Whenever the topic of getting into trouble came up, Lina stopped talking, her face showing signs of embarrassment. She had lived long enough, and yet she was deceived to the point that she was almost imprisoned. The first time she was deceived by Joan, she didn’t learn her lesson. Later, she trusted Kelly, which led to significant losses and regret.

Abigail pretended not to hear them and started playing a mobile game on her phone.

When Analise came downstairs and saw Lina lying there, she immediately said, “Why are you still lying down? The children are back. We need to prepare dinner.” Afraid that she wouldn’t get her share of dinner later, Lina reluctantly stood up and followed Analise into the kitchen.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, the two of them started bickering like lifelong enemies, exchanging harsh words until Analise scolded Lina, ending the conflict.

Feeling bored, Abigail got up and went to the kitchen. When Lina saw Abigail enter, her muttering stopped.

“If you’re tired, you should rest first. Exercising requires a gradual approach; overexerting yourself can lead to illness,” she calmly said to Lina.

She used to despise Lina and believed that she would never get along with her in her lifetime. However, now she felt nothing.

Furthermore, she thought that Analise shouldn’t push Lina too hard, especially since they were at the Graham Estate. It would only annoy people if she was too overbearing.

When Lina heard Abigail’s words, she immediately responded, “Who said I’m tired? You can go and relax. Cooking is nothing to me. I can do better than her.” “Then I’ll assist you.” As Abigail said that, she decided to go to the sink to wash the vegetables.

Lina knew that Abigail still treated them as outsiders, so the latter wouldn’t sit and do nothing. in the living room.

Since Abigail’s entrance into the kitchen, it had become eerily quiet.

Once the preparations were done, Lina glanced at Abigail and said. “You should go to the <

wwwwww living room. The kitchen has a lot of smoke. Your hair is hard to manage, right?” Both Abigail and Analise sensed that Lina was trying to please Abigail.

Abigail responded calmly, “It’s fine. Someone will help me manage it.” At her words, Lina felt a bit embarrassed. The new Abigail was no longer the same as before. She had her hair done by a professional team, and even her outfits were delivered by a personal assistant.

In the past, Lina would criticize her for spending money and buying things.

Now, there was no one to control her. Other than having a lot of money, Abigail had many admirers who were willing to spend money on her.

After the meal was served, Abigail took off her apron and sat down at the table.

Just then, Colby returned, humming a tune. Annoyed, Lina immediately spoke up. “You’re always playing poker all day. You don’t even know that Abigail is back.” “Abigail is family. It’s not like she doesn’t know who I am,” Colby responded, genuinely puzzled by her sudden complaint.

Glancing at Abigail, Sean breathed a sigh of relief when he didn’t notice any signs of discomfort in her expression.

After dinner, Abigail went upstairs to prepare for a shower, and Lina followed her.

Once in the room, Abigail looked at Lina with surprise and asked, “Old Mrs.

Graham, do need something?” you “Your grandmother is busy in the kitchen, so I thought I’d organize your wardrobe for Your new clothes from today are still out on the balcony,” Lina said awkwardly.

you.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 549-Just One Look Abigail worked tirelessly to prevent herself and her grandmother from being looked down upon by others.

“Thank you, Grandma.” With the glass of milk in her hand, she once again expressed her gratitude for Analise’s understanding.

Analise didn’t follow Maisy’s path, who had forced Eric to marry someone who harmed him for the sake of family harmony.

“Get some rest. Since you’re here, just treat it as a vacation,” Analise instructed.

In response, Abigail nodded once more.

“How was your day with Sean?” Analise couldn’t help but ask again.

“It went well. Why do you ask?” Abigail pretended to ask seriously.

With a smile, Analise replied, “I’m just curious. Getting along well is more important than anything else. I’ll go back to my room now.” After she left, Abigail slowly sipped her milk, but her gaze was distant as if lost in thought.

Time passed. On the third day, she received a call from Josh.

“Can you come back to Capitalis?” He sounded urgent.

“What’s the matter?” she asked, still sounding calm.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Abigail, there are things we haven’t explained. You should be aware of that, right?” She didn’t answer and was about to hang up.

Suddenly, he continued, “Grandpa is dying. He had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He wants to see you.” “What does it have to do with me?” Abigail coldly questioned him. “Don’t use something like this to manipulate me and try to get me to come back. Okay?” She couldn’t control her tone and continued, “My grandma is my only grandmother, and that’s the same for Grandpa! I don’t have another grandfather!” Eric’s voice quivered. “Abigail, I beg you. Just come back and take a look. Just one look.” If it weren’t for the sudden health crisis of his grandfather, he wouldn’t have bothered her at O 1/3 all.

Abigail’s eyes welled up with tears, and she remained silent, her chest heaving.

At this moment, Sean entered the room and saw her standing there, clutching her phone. He approached her and asked, “What’s wrong?” With teary eyes, she looked at him. “I-It’s nothing.” She really hoped that the truth would remain buried until the day Analise peacefully departed. Why are they suddenly asking me to go back now?

Hugging her shoulders, he said, “Everything will be fine. Your grandma and I are here for you.” “I know it’s not right, but there are many things we want to explain to you on our side. Abigail, can you please give us a chance?” Josh continued speaking on the phone, but he was choking up. “Grandpa had a cerebral hemorrhage when he heard about you.” Abigail sternly replied, “What does that have to do with me? Why are you disturbing my life? I’ve said it before; I’m not! Don’t disrupt my life. Why are you doing this to me? Your family didn’t raise me, and neither did you appear when I needed my parents the most. Now, why do you want me to go back?” Veins were popping on her forehead. After doing so many things to hurt me, they are now telling me that we are a family?

When Analise entered the room, she came forward to embrace Abigail, who was squeezing her phone tightly in her hand. Meanwhile, Lina stood at the room’s door with a puzzled expression, and even Colby couldn’t help but sigh.

On the phone, Josh repeatedly apologized to Abigail.

After the call ended, Analise held Abigail and patted her back. “Sean and I will accompany you to Capitalis. No matter what happened in the past, we need to resolve it. Don’t worry, Abigail. I will always be your grandma.” Lina, a little late to understand, finally realized that Abigail’s biological parents had found her. Her parents are from Capitalis?

In the room, Abigail held Analise tightly. “Grandma, I don’t want to.” She was simply avoiding and resisting the Pearson Family. She didn’t like them.

She disliked the family that hadn’t raised her and that had bullied her and Luna for Kelly.

If they hadn’t attacked I..Moon, Luna wouldn’t have provoked Kelly, and all the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened.

2/3 “It’s okay, Abigail. Your situation back then was very complex, and I want to know the truth ast well.” Analise coaxed her.

Yet, Abigail remained clung to her and swayed her body, clearly being like a child asking for consolation.

Watching from the side, Sean couldn’t help but chuckle and stopped worrying so much.

“Don’t worry, my dear. Let’s go and find out the truth, no matter what happened back then. I’m more eager than you to know what really happened.” Analise continued to comfort her.

Gradually, Abigail calmed down, and she looked up at Analise, whispering, “Okay.” “Don’t worry. I’ll say you’re mine, and no one can take you away from me.

Cameron said that I’m a tough lady. If they try to take you from me, I’ll confront them.” Analise stood proudly. with her hands on her hips.

“Why does Cameron give you such nicknames?” Abigail was amused.

Smiling, Analise said, “That guy is a joker; he can get along with people of all ages.” As Abigail smiled, she glanced at Sean and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Lina, who was standing at the door, asked awkwardly, “Abigail has found her family?” “Yes,” Analise replied.

“Then, go back and take a look. You should find out why they abandoned you so cruelly back then,” Lina said tentatively.

“Abigail, the Graham Family also supports you. So what if it’s a family from Capitalis? I was a remarkable figure when I was young. I’m not afraid of them at all.” Colby puffed out his chest and spoke firmly.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 548-You Might Drown In Spit No need I can handle it myself” Alsigail didn’t want I ina to interfere in her affairs Standing by the door. Lina stared directly at her and asked, “Do you still hold a grudge against me because of what happened before? Do you think Em a malicious old lady?” Instantly, Abigail tell silent.

Lina’s eyes turned red, and she spoke self-deprecatingly. “I know I’m not worthy of you anymore. Even Sean isn’t. I don’t know why I did those things in the past.”

Old Mrs. Graham, you used to look down on me and Grandma for no apparent reason Now, I have achieved success at work and become a different person. In your mind, the granddaughter-in-law who used to obey your every command doesn’t exist anymore, replaced by the glamorous and accomplished me” Abigail understood Lina’s current state of mind all too well.

In the past, Lina had never treated the weak and helpless kindly. Now, as Lina tried to please her stronger self. Abigail wondered if she should accept it. The answer was no Awkwardly, Lina watched Abigail and pulled at her clothes in embarrassment.

“It doesn’t matter whether I forgive you or not. You can consider Grandma a friend, but just treat me like a guest,” Abigail said calmly, walking toward the balcony.

Not caring didn’t mean she had to accept the hurtful things Lina did to her in the past. The thought of Lina’s vicious face still made Abigail angry.

After leaving Abigail’s room, Lina felt somewhat aggrieved, but when she saw Sean, she immediately lowered her head and walked quickly toward the staircase.

Sean followed her. “The hurt from the past can’t be erased by you trying to please her now. You know that, right?” “Yes, but I’m doing this because you pursue her so relentlessly. If you didn’t pursue her, would I still need to do this?” she said angrily.

“Grandma, even if you apologize sincerely to her, it won’t change anything, but you still need to apologize to her and Old Mrs. Quinn,” he said seriously.

An overdue apology might not make a difference, but it was still necessary.

“She won’t accept my apology. Forget it. If you two get married, you don’t have to come back.” Lina said.

r 13 “You’re being stubborn again.” He sighed helplessly.

“Am I? I know I was terrible in the past, but look at how cold she is to me now.” Tears welled. up in her eyes.

“It’s impossible for her to forgive you right now,” he said calmly. “You’re asking for forgiveness for the things you did wrong in the past after yielding a little.

Aren’t you overestimating yourself?” Shocked, she eyed him.

Looking at her, he continued, “She’s Alana. Do you realize how many big celebrities in the entertainment industry seek her designs? She has tens of millions of followers on instagram. If each of them spits at you, it can drown you.” “Why? Are you trying to threaten me?” Lina asked indignantly.

Yet, Sean remained calm. “I’m not threatening you. Her relationship with me hasn’t been exposed yet, but sooner or later, it will come to light. If people find out you’ve caused trouble. and made her suffer, you’ll be publicly shamed.

Netizens despise mistreatment of daughters- in-law by mothers-in-law.” When she heard that, she was taken aback, and her face was filled with a dazed expression.

Tens of millions of followers? That’s a huge number! In the past, Joan acted all high and mighty with just a million followers.

“Find an opportunity to apologize sincerely to her.” As he said that, he patted her shoulder.

Feeling reluctant, she pursed her lips but didn’t say much more.

Just as Abigail was hanging her clothes, there was a sudden knock on her bedroom door. “Come in,” she responded casually.

Sean opened the door and walked in.

The moment she saw him, she felt a bit uncomfortable. Why did he come to my room?

“Is there something you need?” She looked at him, her actions slowing down.

“Don’t take what Grandma said tonight too seriously. Elderly people are always like that.” He didn’t want to speak too much on behalf of Lina, as he was mainly worried that Abigail might feel pressured.

“I know. I won’t let it bother me. From the moment I left your house, I stopped caring about her,” she said.

111 r 9/3 She couldn’t get along with Lina, and that was her honest thought. The repugnant image of Lina was deeply etched in her mind.

He made a hum of acknowledgment and didn’t know what else to say. He looked at her for a moment before turning to leave.

After taking a shower and blow-drying her hair, Abigail began designing on her tablet while sitting on the bed.

She continued drawing until around 10 PM. Just then, Analise brought a glass of milk and gently opened the door. When she saw Abigail, she gave her a mischievous smile. “Still not sleeping?” Abigail set down her tablet with a faint smile on her face. “Yeah, just drawing.

Thank you, Grandma.” The temperature of the milk placed on the bedside table was just right. She felt a warm sensation in her heart after taking a sip.

“What did the old lady talk to you about?” Analise asked, sitting on the edge of the bed with at kind smile.

“Nothing much. She just wanted to please me, but I didn’t accept it,” Abigail said frankly. Regardless of Analise’s persuasion, she wanted to express her stance.

“I understand your feelings. Don’t worry, you don’t have to put up with it. You’re not the same Abigail as before; you’re Alana now.” With a smile, Analise patted her head

I Want a Divorce Chapter 550-The Pearson Family Is A Snake Pit Upon hearing Colby’s words, Abigail couldn’t help but reflect on how, despite all the twists. and turns, they had ended up right back where they started.

“Thank you, Grandpa,” she replied gratefully.

Colby gently patted her hand and said, “It’s not a big deal. They just want you to reconnect with your roots. As long as they didn’t abandon you, everything can be negotiated. If they did abandon you. we’ll simply ignore them. We won’t let them claim you without facing the consequences of their actions once you become famous!”

Lina nodded in agreement and added, “That’s right. They only have themselves to blame for being too weak to protect a child. I don’t know if I’m saying the right thing or if Abigail will listen to my advice, but it’s all I can say.” Abigail composed herself and, accompanied by Analise and Sean, headed to Capitalis.

Although Sean had planned to remain in hiding for a while longer, he understood that Abigail’s family matter took precedence.

When they arrived in Capitalis, Abigail’s expression darkened upon seeing Josh waiting to pick her up. Luna quickly rushed over and grabbed her hand, while Analise offered her support by holding Abigail’s other hand.

Sean took the initiative to walk beside Josh and asked, “How is Old Mr.

Pearson?” “He’s in surgery. Even if he doesn’t make it, at least he’ll have met Abigail,” Josh replied, his voice filled with intense sorrow.

Abigail felt nothing upon hearing this news. After all, Old Mr. Pearson was just a stranger to her. They had met a few times in the past, but she had forgotten what he looked like.

Sean glanced at her, relieved to see that she didn’t seem affected.

At the hospital, Lawrence and Scarlett were overjoyed to see Abigail.

Lawrence approached Abigail first, scanning her up and down before finally saying. “Tin sorry, Abby. I was foolish back then. I failed to take care of you and lost you.” Abigail stared at him coldly, not saying a word.

Meanwhile, Scarlett was already in tears.

Patricia’s face stiffened and she visibly appeared unhappy upon witnessing Abigail’s reaction.

1/3 She felt no love for her long-lost granddaughter, especially since Abigail had shown no concern for Lily and even sabotaged her.

Realizing that Patricia wouldn’t speak, Lawrence continued, “We didn’t plan on disturbing. you, but Dad suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage. You’ve always been on his mind. He talks about you every day…” Interrupting him abruptly, Abigail asked, “How was I lost back then?” Just then, Analise asked, “Where is Martha? Are Vincent and Martha scheming back home?” “Why?” Scarlett asked, wiping away her tears.

“Back then, when I came to Capitalis to find your family, I was almost killed at the bus station. Martha was behind that, wasn’t she?” Analise had initially planned to let bygones be bygones since she could stay with Abigail, but certain issues needed clarification when the time was right.

Sean looked at Analise, knowing that she was about to reveal the truth today.

Abigail also looked at Analise, astonishment written across her face.

“Don’t think you can slander Vincent’s wife just because you’ve raised my granddaughter for a few years!” Patricia snapped.

“Slander? If Martha didn’t look exactly like Scarlett, I would’ve thought your family couldn’t even tolerate the presence of a little girl. I only realized what was going on after I went home and thought about it. I don’t want Abigail to return to your family because it’s a snake pit here!” Analise furiously retorted.

“Grandma, we’re at the hospital,” Abigail reminded her.

The group decided to continue their conversation outside.

Once they were outside, Lawrence sincerely asked Analise, “What happened back then?” “Summon Vincent and Martha now!” Analise demanded, her face dark.

The Pearsons were all confused, but Lawrence still called Vincent.

When Vincent and Martha arrived with Lily, they were shocked and panicked upon seeing Abigail and her group.

Analise looked directly at Martha and immediately asked, “Because of this face, I thought Scarlett had been the one to push her own daughter into the ocean. If I hadn’t stumbled upon them by chance, Abigail would’ve drowned.” 23 “I didn’t understand how a mother could be so cruel to her child, but I didn’t dare say a word because I know how powerful the Pearsons are. I lived in fear day and night that Abigail would be discovered…” Analise began, her voice filled with. anger.

Back then, Analise was one of the villagers showing guests around Quinn Village. Late one evening, a storm suddenly started, and she went to check on the tourists to ensure they were all accounted for. When she realized two of them were missing, she immediately began. searching for them. That’s when she saw Martha leading a young Abigail onto a boat. When the boat was over 300 feet away from the shore, Martha pushed Abigail overboard.

Afterward, Martha hurried back to the village inn.
