Chapter 282 Crossing the Line
After giving instructions to Cameron, Sean leaned back in his seat, intending to take a short nap. As such, Cameron
adjusted the air conditioning to a slightly higher temperature.
Ever since the last encounter with Abigail at the bar, Cameron noticed that Sean had started experiencing
insomnia.
Sean didn’t say anything about it, but Cameron knew that he was feeling uneasy.
Before Sean could even doze off, his phone rang.
He retrieved it from his pocket and noticed that it was a call from Josh. With a cold snort, he tapped on the answer
button and shut his eyes, remaining silent.
“What’s going on with Chad?” Josh’s voice was cold and demanding over the phone.
With a lazy tone, Sean replied, “He’s right there with you. Can’t you just ask him?”
“Sean, I’m not asking what Chad did. I’m asking why you sent him to my place?!” Josh’s anger could no longer be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcontained as he scolded Sean. “No matter how dissatisfied you are with Kelly, you shouldn’t be sending a middle–
aged man to her room!”
“Why would I be dissatisfied with someone I have no connection to?” Sean coldly retorted, his tone unmistakably
chilling.
Josh suddenly fell silent.
“We should mind our own business, and if we can’t, then you might want to look into who crossed the line,” Sean
uttered indifferently before raising his hand to massage his throbbing temples.
“Kelly would never do anything to hurt Abigail. There must be a misunderstanding. You acted without fully
understanding the situation. What’s going to happen to Kelly in the future because of this?” Josh’s tone sounded
calmer and more composed when he spoke.
Unable to hide his impatience, Sean clicked his tongue. “Do I need to understand your intentions to protect your
sister?”
Josh let out a deep breath. “I understand how enraged you are about Chad pressuring Abigail to sell the pearls, and
I’m angry about it too. But I asked Kelly, and she told me she didn’t know him. Our family situation is also somehow
complex. If someone bullies Abigail in the future using Kelly’s name, you can’t handle it the same way as you did
this time.”
“I have no interest in knowing the specifics of the Pearsons. As long as the information suggests a connection with
her, I will take it over. Instead of making demands, you’d better hurry up and
get to the bottom of things, Mr. Pearson,” Sean suggested with a blank face before hanging up.
While driving, Cameron asked tentatively, “Mr. Pearson seems to be biased after finding out that Mrs. Graham is not
his sister.”
Sean opened his eyes, but his expression was indifferent. “His initial kindness toward Abigail was probably based on
the assumption that she was a member of the Pearsons. Now that she’s not, his favoritism will naturally fade. It’s
just human nature to favor one’s own family.”
After Josh hung up the phone, he turned around to find Kelly staring at him with reddened eyes,
He quickly walked up to her and asked out of concern, “What’s wrong?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why must Sean do this to me?” Her eyes were filled with teary innocence, making her appear pitiful.
“His thoughts have always been hard to fathom, and he isn’t one to get along with easily. He acts according to his
own whims and won’t even think twice about it. It’s not surprising that he would do something like this,” Josh
explained in a soothing tone.
Lowering her eyes, she asked, “Is he like this with everyone?”
“More or less,” he responded. Even after three years of marriage, it wasn’t until their divorce that Abigail left a
significant impact on Sean’s heart.
The man’s heart was evidently cold.
“I sec… Regarding Chad’s situation, how are you planning to explain it to Abigail? If she continues to misunderstand
me, I’ll be really sad,” Kelly mumbled softly, wearing a troubled expression.
“I’ll investigate the situation and clarify everything with her. Don’t worry,” Josh replied gently. He realized that he
needed to personally meet with Abigail and explain everything, especially since she had left without a word.
On the other hand, Kelly was sent to the garden by Josh.
She felt uneasy at the thought of Chad being sent over by Sean.
