Chapter 493 Cunning and Scheming

Sean didn’t reply. Instead, he unscrewed the lid of his bottle, tore off the foil cover, and took a sip.

“The taste is just average. I still prefer hand-brewed coffee,” Sean said, his tone tinged with a hint of disdain, shaking the bottle in his hand.

“I got it for you just so you would have something to drink. Why are you being so picky?” Abigail retorted, annoyed.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then Josh came out.

His

eyes were still a little red, and so was his mouth. It seemed Luna hadn’t gone easy on him.

“Is everything settled?” Abigail asked, feeling a bit awkward.

“Yeah, she’s going to Pendorf to take a break for now,” Josh replied softly.

Abigail nodded but didn’t say anything more.

“Are you coming back with me?” Josh asked Sean.

Sean’s expression was indifferent. “No, I have my own things to take care of. But let me remind you, Luna is upset because of the leaked video. Luna is indeed somewhat at fault in this matter, but don’t you think it’s necessary to investigate the person who placed the surveillance in Kelly’s room in advance? Or, perhaps the person who exposed the video?”

He didn’t directly say that Kelly was behind this, as he was considering Josh’s feelings.

“I’ve been looking into it but haven’t found any leads,” Josh said, glancing at Sean.

Sean immediately understood what he meant. After all, when Sean had sent the man Kelly sent to Pendorf into her room, it was done discreetly.

If someone wanted to avoid being discovered, it was possible.

“Well, even if you can’t replace anything, it doesn’t matter. It’s your girlfriend who has been wronged after all,” Sean said casually.

Josh didn’t say anything more.

Abigail had already gone back to her office.

The two of them stood outside for a while before leaving.

Back in the office, Abigail saw Luna packing her bags.

“Aren’t you going to rest for a few days before you leave?” Abigail was still reluctant to let her

“I’ve been in Capitalis for a long time. I want to finally enjoy some time in Pendorf. After all, that’s our hometown,” Luna said with a smile, her head lowered.

Abigail nodded, and she went over to help Luna pack her clothes.

Luna finished packing her bags and left.

Abigail didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye to her as she was busy preparing for a meeting.

Sean returned to his accommodation, and Xavien called him back.

“After Luna left the Pearson Residence, she went to a pharmacy to tend to her wounds. I didn’t replace anything unusual,” Xavien said in a low voice.

Sean said in a low voice, “Going to the pharmacy is normal, but something doesn’t feel right.”

Xavien fell silent.

“She’s gone back to Pendorf. We’ll follow her there and keep an eye on her,” Sean continued. He had observed the wounds on Kelly’s b*dy today. He had a feeling that Luna didn’t do this just to get back at Kelly. Whether the video was leaked by Kelly or not was still unknown. Yet, Luna had insisted that it was Kelly. Plus, she had even planned this revenge for a long time. There was no way Sean was going to think that Luna didn’t have a plan in mind.

Besides, one of his tasks was to keep an eye on Kelly. Now that they were at such a crucial point, he couldn’t afford to let Luna ruin everything.

Of course, Sean decided to delay his return to Capitalis by two days in order to avoid arousing Kelly’s suspicion. He had even used the excuse of Colby being hospitalized.

Abigail also called Colby after hearing about it.

Colby sat on the bed in his hospital room and answered the phone. He had it on speaker, and Sean was sitting by his side, peeling a pear for him.

I’m doing just fine here. How are you? How is everything in Capitalis? Your grandmother looks like she’s adapting quite well there. She can even lead a team now,” Colby said while looking at Sean.

Sean continued to focus on peeling the pear while scoffing softly in his heart.

“Yes, we’re doing fine here. Take care of yourself. Remember to dress warmly in the cold. weather,” Abigail said gently to the old man.

Colby felt quite happy as he listened to her words.

Only a daughter-in-law like her would be so concerned about an old man. As soon as she heard he was sick, she called immediately to offer comfort.

“I know. I haven’t seen you in so long. I’ve been missing you,” Colby said sincerely. He had thought she would return to Pendorf for the New Year last year, but she unexpectedly went abroad to compete in a fashion competition.

“If I have time, I’ll pay you a visit.” Abigail’s voice softened.

They chatted for a while before ending the call.

Sean plated the sliced pear and handed it to Colby.

“I’ve been on the phone for so long, and you didn’t say a word! How could you be successful in winning her back? Just forget it,” Colby said, feeling quite displeased that Sean didn’t. anything.

say

Sean sat on the edge of the bed, looking calm. “Is there something wrong with letting you have a good chat with her?”

“You’re engaged to that Kelly…”

“You’re mistaken about that. I’m engaged to the Pearsons’ heiress,” Sean interrupted Colby.

Colby thought about Kelly’s status and suddenly found Sean quite cunning and scheming.

“By the way, what are you up to? Why do I have to feign illness?” Colby had healthy teeth as he chewed the crisp pear.

“I just wanted to see you,” Sean answered gently.

Colby looked at him with disdain. “I don’t trust you. How long am I staying? Don’t make it too. long. I’m only going to be here for two days. My card addiction won’t last more than three.”

“You’re getting on in years. Aren’t you worried about your back whenever you sit at the card table every day?”

Sean knew that when Colby was young, he had suffered a lot. So, Sean could understand why he was a bit more indulgent in his later years now. Nonetheless, he felt that Colby’s addiction was going a bit too far.

Moreover, Sean didn’t like activities like playing cards.
