Chapter 308 All in Vain
Once they had left, Sean broke the silence, saying tentatively, “I don’t expect you to forgive me; I had
this plan from the beginning. I just didn’t think you’d be worried about me.”
Abigail understood the implication behind his words. Since it didn’t seem like she was worried, he
hadn’t considered informing her about the plan.
“If this matter didn’t involve Grandma and me, I wouldn’t have cared about it.” Her tone remained
indifferent.
Although he was disappointed, he didn’t show it. “Actually, I targeted the Pearsons because of Alfie.
He’s different from others in Capitalis’ social elite circle. If I didn’t teach the Pearsons at lesson, they
could threaten his standing within the Willis Family
He didn’t want her to constantly mention his help to her and Analise, for it made him uncomfortable and
might make her feel morally obligated to care for him. After all, he hadn’t done all this to bind her in any
way.
“I got it,” she responded calmly in her usual tone.
As the two of them entered the elevator, she stood with her arms crossed and suddenly found herself
at a loss for words. Since everything had gone according to his plan and she knew that he was safe,
there wasn’t much she could say.
“I only found out later that the Pearsons wanted to kidnap me. It was a last-minute decision, and I had
Cameron make preparations in advance, which successfully led to the Pearsons falling into the trap.
Now, they are in a completely unfavorable position, and I believe it will be a long time before they darenovelbin
to act behind our backs again,” Sean suddenly elaborated.
As he spoke, he watched her reflection on the elevator’s metal doors, keenly observing her
reaction.
She nodded after hearing his response. The Pearsons have been in Capitalis for too long, and they’ve
started to believe they’re its rulers.”
A smile played on his l*ps at her response.
While Sean and Cameron went to clean themselves up. Abigail and Ronaldo decided to go their
separate ways.
“Remember what you promised me. I’m waiting for you to help me get rich,” Ronaldo reminded her
before leaving.
Of course, she knew he was reminding her that his help was far from free.
As she was about to call for an Uber, she spotted Sean and Cameron.

“Should we head back to Pendorf now, Ms. Quinn?” Cameron asked politely.
“You can go back to where you need to be. Don’t need to worry about me.” She had no intention. of
returning with them. Since the matter was resolved, she absolutely didn’t want to travel with
Sean.
“Is there something else you need to take care of? Sean asked.
“Mr. Graham, there’s another case in Pendorf that you need to attend to. You should return as soon as
possible so the authorities don’t think you’re avoiding them.” She didn’t plan to answer his question.
“Xavien is handling that case,” he responded. When he decided to show up, Xavien had already
submitted valid evidence to the police.
She looked at him without a word.
“I’m leaving Cameron with you. This place isn’t safe. Besides, if something happens to you, Grandma
will hold me accountable,” he said, deciding to leave before she could chase him away.
Abigail thanked him, and she and Cameron waited for their ride.
Once they were in the car, Cameron couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Quinn, are you upset that Mr. Graham
didn’t tell you about the plan? It really was a last-minute decision. Before he could. inform you, he went
into a signal-blocking area. That’s why he couldn’t receive any calls or texts.”
“I’m not upset. I feel relieved that this matter is resolved,” Abigail replied.
In fact, she was feeling a little displeased as her a*sistance seemed somewhat unnecessary. She owed
Ronaldo a favor because of Sean and came running here without second thoughts. Yet, it turned out
that they had arranged before this entire farce, making her feel like a fool. She hadn’t. returned the
favor she owed Sean and now found herself owing one to Ronaldo.
Even though Cameron nodded at her response, he couldn’t help but doubt her true feelings.
By the time they returned to Pendorf, it was already past noon. Abigail declined Cameron’s offer to take
her to lunch and went straight home.
Once she was home, she noticed that Analise had long prepared lunch. As soon as Abigail returned,
she asked the latter at the door. “How is Sean? Did anything go wrong?”
“He’s fine. Don’t worry,” she replied as she changed into her sl*ppers.
“Did you ask him about the blame-shifting case?” Analise couldn’t resist asking further.
“That’s his personal issue, and there’s not much we can do. He will handle it.” When Abigail met
Analise’s eyes, she smiled. Tm famished. Let’s eat.

Analise nodded in response, finally letting go of the anxiety that had weighed on her for the few days.

“Grandma, I’m sorry for making you go through all this,” Abigail said to Analise, who appeared
somewhat fatigued, at the dining table.
“It’s nothing. You had it rougher than I did, running around and owing favors to people. Analise heard
from Luna that the one who had accompanied Abigail to Cloudgrove this time was their company’s
partner. Since he was their company’s partner, Abigail would undoubtedly have to offer him some
benefits for his a*sistance.
“Sean has resolved everything, and the Pearsons won’t cause us any trouble for the time being. You
can stay at home without worries, and I’ll focus on my work too. I’ll take you on an overseas trip once
I’ve earned enough money.” Abigail’s eyes were filled with tenderness when she gazed into Analise’s
eyes.
She was now using the prospect of a trip as an excuse to slowly make Analise accept the decision. to
go abroad.
