Chapter 214

Chapter 214 Marriage Alliance Colby understood what Sean meant.

All previous talks of divorce hadn’t been taken seriously, but this time, it was.

“Have you thought things through?” Colby asked Sean.

“Yeah.” Sean replied.

Just then, Lina emerged from the kitchen, holding a fruit plate. She called out to Sean as if everything was fine. “You’re back!

Come and have some fruit, Sean. The grapes are exceptionally juicy today.”

Sean, looking at her, felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. He ascended the stairs without responding.

“Sean...” she called out again.

He didn’t even look at her.

“Who was it all for, anyway? It was all for him! Even if things turned out poorly, my intentions were good!” she lamented with reddened eyes.

Colby remained stoic as he entered the study. He didn’t want to listen to her rants.

Lina felt there was no reason to put on a show when there was no one to watch. Annoyed, she sat down on the couch and began eating grapes.

Soon, Sean came down with his luggage.

your luggage? Are you moving out?” Startled, she jumped to her feet. Her eyes were red as she interrogated, “Why did you bring down except for special occasions.” “I bought a house,” he declared in a chilly tone, rolling his luggage out. “I won’t be returning here Lina quickly grabbed his hand. “Sean, think about it. Why did I do all that? It’s so you can have a family. If you don’t have any children despite being married, people will start gossiping about say such things about you?” you. They’ll say you’re impotent.

You’re the president of a company! How can we allow people to suffer instead?” Sean retorted. “So, just because people shouldn’t be gossiping about me, you made Abigail and her grandma “What do you mean I made them suffer? Haven’t you given her enough throughout these years? You spent millions on the house for her without hesitation-

“I don’t want to hear this from you!” he interrupted her, his eyes filled with anger, which made her uneasy. He continued, “So what if I bought her a house? Is that sson enough for you to go over there and humiliate them? She’s your granddaughter-in-law, so why can’t you treat her better?” His frustration was evident, and he struggled to contain his anger.

Sean struggled to control his emotions, but Lina’s words shattered his composure. Soon, her eyes welled up with tears.

“You always say it’s for my sake. Since it’s for my sake, why won’t you listen when I say I don’t want to have children? Well, you get your wish. Abigail and I are getting a divorce-but I won’t marry anyone else. I won’t ever get married again!” He flung off his grandmother’s hand and stormed off.

Colby stood silently at the door and watched as Lina’s tears fell.

Inside the car, Sean looked drained. He couldn’t picture getting a divorce from Abigail. Just the thought of it alone suffocated him. However, upon reflection, he realized that with Lina’s personality, the divorce was inevitable. Even if they had a child, conflicts would persist.

Lina was resolute and authoritarian, refusing to accept Abigail. Even if Sean and Abigail had a child, Lina would continue to find fault with Abigail over trivial matters.

Someone prone to provocation would continue, even if temporarily halted due to the child.

When Sean arrived at his new house, Cameron, who was supervising the movers, respectfully informed him, “Kingston and Joan have been in frequent contact recently. I haven’t uncovered the details of their conversations yet, but I did discover that Joan met with Old Mrs. Graham a few times before the latter visited Old Mrs. Quinn.”

Sean paused. “Joan met my grandma in private?”

“That’s right. They met up several times. I’m still checking to see whether she was the one who replied. divulged the information about Mrs. Graham selling the house to Old Mrs. Graham,” Cameron “Joan’s becoming more and more audacious,” Sean remarked coldly. “By the way, what’s been going on between the Pearsons and the Davidsons?”

have you found “It seems like the two families might be forming a marriage alliance,” Cameron replied.

Sean frowned. “So, the Pearsons approached Abigail because they wanted to marry her off?”

“There’s no concrete answer for that yet,” Cameron said.

Sean entered the house. “Even so, Abigail has to be informed that the Pearsons have ulterior motives.” After saying this, Cameron followed in silence.

“Is it certain that Abigail is the Pearsons’ long-lost daughter?” Sean asked.

Cameron quickly replied, “It hasn’t been confirmed yet. Mrs. Graham doesn’t wish to do the DNA test, and for now, the Pearsons don’t wish to force her.”

“The Pearsons are already treating her like she’s one of the family,” Sean scoffed.

Why would they approach her now when she had made a name for herself in the fashion industry? Where had they been all these years?

“Find someone else to take your place. For now, stay in the hospital and keep an eye on Abigail and her grandma. We’ll pay for the medical expenses, Sean instructed Cameron while inspecting the interior decor.

Yes, Mr. Graham,” Cameron acknowledged.

“Carry on with your work.” Sean walked toward the balcony.

Knowing Sean was in a bad mood, Cameron silently took his leave.

Sean spent a while on the balcony before he took out his phone and dialed Joan’s number.
