Chapter 364 Reflex
Before Sean could even speak, Kelly cut in, “What’s going on here?” Her gentle voice dissolved the
tension between him and Abigail.”
Abigail looked at the man, her eyes cold as she stated, “I’ll visit your family with my grandmother. to
express our thanks and to apologize. My grandmother has no ill intentions toward your family; she just
wanted to share something good she received with her best friend. She’s more upset than anyone else
about this situation. You never got it right-the one at fault in this case is the person who conspired to kill
your grandfather!”
She was about to leave after saying this, but Kelly spoke up. “Are you saying that you and your
grandmother bear no responsibility for this? Mr. Graham’s grandfather almost lost his life, but you’ve
neither visited him nor offered a word of sympathy. Even now, you’re still arguing over who is to blame
and who isn’t.”
Abigail turned to fix the woman with a stern look. “Who are you to butt in here? What does the matter
between the Grahams and the Quinns have to do with you?”
Kelly’s face turned red one moment and pale the next at the remark. Nevertheless, she put on a
helpless demeanor, arguing, “You knew you’re the reason for Mr. Graham’s intense rivalry with Uncle
Vincent, and yet you neglected to take precautions. How can you just send food to someone by mail?
Since it’s from the same city, why didn’t you deliver it yourself? Or perhaps you never cared about
them, which is why Old Mr. Graham suffered. Isn’t that right?”
Her words struck right at the heart of the issue that had been bothering Sean all along. He clenched his
cigarette, appearing indifferent as if this had nothing to do with him, but hist breathing became
noticeably careful.
Kelly continued to criticize Abigail by saying, “Let’s face it-you guys just wanted to save yourselves
from trouble. Sending a package won’t take much of your or your grandmother’s time. Old Mr. Graham
is still lying in the hospital, but you never visited him with your grandmother. You say she’s upset, but is
it too much to ask for her to pay him even a single visit?”
“Do I really need to explain so much to you?” Abigail looked at Kelly with contempt.
At that, Kelly darted a glance at Sean. “I’m asking on behalf of Mr. Graham. He’s the one who needs
your explanation the most,” she replied, a note of sadness in her voice.
“Do you not have a voice, Sean?” Abigail shifted her focus onto the man.
Sean immediately replied, “She took it upon herself to ask on my behalf. Why are you angry
me?”

Abigail let out a sneer. “So, it’s just Kelly being presumptuous and arguing with me speciously here, is
it?”

Just when Kelly was about to speak once again, Abigail suddenly raised her hand against her, and the
palm of her hand came menacingly close to Kelly’s face.
In an instant, Kelly ducked into Sean’s arms.
Abigail’s expression had ridicule written all over it.
Sean reflexively pushed Kelly away, so panicked that his cigarette dropped from his hand. He
explained almost without thinking, “I didn’t touch her.”
Abigail withdrew her hand and ignored him. Instead, she looked at Kelly, who looked
embarra*sed at being pushed away. “Your eloquence won’t lead me into your trap. I won’t follow your
twisted logic. Stop trying to show off your cleverness in front of me!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Eric rushed inside and shielded Abigail behind him. “Are you
alright?” he asked.
“I’m fine. Let’s go,” Abigail muttered, unwilling to engage in any more arguments with Kelly, Any
moment spent in her presence made Abigail feel nauseous.
Eric shot a look at Sean and Kelly before turning to leave with her.

Cameron came in from outside and took care of the cigarette butt on the floor.
Coming back to herself, Kelly hurriedly caught up with Sean, but she soon noticed her own. reflection

Just then, her thoughts were interrupted by what he said. “Now that I’ve treated you to dinner, please
don’t come to the hospital anymore. There’s no shortage of people to look after my grandfather.”
Kelly shifted her gaze toward him. At once, she asked anxiously, “Did I speak too much just now? 1
won’t interfere anymore.”
Sean turned to look at her, his gaze inscrutable as he commented, “No, you spoke quite well. Feel free
to speak up more when you have the chance.
Kelly met his gaze. “I know you don’t like me meddling in your affairs, but whenever I come to you, it’s
because I hope you can help me clarify things with Abigail,” she mumbled. “My third uncle and I never
spoke to each other, so I want her to stop misunderstanding me.”
Sean raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. “What makes you think she will believe what I say?”

“You’re the one who looked into it. If she accepts your findings, doesn’t that mean she trusts you? My
brother has been hoping to reconcile with her, so I don’t want this misunderstanding to strain their
relationship further,” Kelly explained, her eyes lowering.
“Ha!” Sean let out a sneer.
She didn’t say anything else, knowing that speaking further would only irritate the man. Instead, what
she needed to do now was stay obediently by his side.
Sean had Xavien escort Kelly back to the hotel. As he sat in the car, Cameron suddenly said, “Ms.
Quinn is going to Capitalis to participate in a variety show. She’s going to sign the contract tomorrow,
but the TV station-”
“Did I ask you to find out all of this?” Sean cut him off, his expression cold.
Cameron shut up and focused on driving.
There was silence in the car for a moment before Sean spoke again. “I’ll be going mountain, climbing
with Kevin tomorrow. You keep an eye on Kelly here in Pendorf.”
