Chapter 629 Failure

They didn’t believe that Gary would actually come to find them, but they couldn’t help feeling guilty.

How could Sean, an outsider, know about these matters?

Abigail observed Sean and noticed that he always came prepared whenever he confronted someone.

Although this situation happened suddenly, Sean must have known about the Pearsons’ affairs in

advance.

“Our family matters don’t concern you. You’re an outsider.” Vincent spoke up at this moment.

“I am Abigail’s fiancé. Everyone in Capitalis knows about my marriage engagement with her family,”

Sean sarcastically retorted.

“If we are going to discuss splitting shares, it also means splitting up the family. Dad talked to me about

this possibility before he fell ill. Mom, you have favored my-brother for a long time. I used to follow your

instructions and let him have his way because of his poor health. But now, he has become a heartless

person. I won’t let him have his way anymore.” Lawrence had finally made up his mind.

He knew that Gary didn’t want the brothers to split up, but now Molly had caused trouble in the family

every day. He felt nothing but heartache and had no other emotions.

“Split up the family? Your father just died, and you’re saying such things?” Molly suddenly became

angry.

Lawrence looked at her with bloodshot eyes. “I am also your son. What have I done so wrong that you

would rather call upon this group of people who have no connection to our family to come and hurt me?

My daughter was thrown into the sea by your most beloved son and daughter-in-law. If she hadn’t been

lucky, her b*dy would have drowned in the sea forever. She wouldn’t even have a grave, and we

wouldn’t even know where she was. How can you treat me like this?”

Scarlett sensed the bitterness and pain in his words and immediately reached out to hold his hand,

standing silently by his side with tears in her eyes.

Molly didn’t say anything. She listened to Lawrence’s accusations and couldn’t argue back.

Abigail looked at Lawrence, and for the first time, she was truly moved by his words.

“Take a good look at her. She is your own granddaughter. Your first granddaughter. She was thrown

into the sea by your own child and has lived for twenty years without parents. How can you bear to let

so many people bully her?” Lawrence’s voice choked as he spoke. “I hate myself for not protecting her

properly back then. I hate that I wasn’t there to guide her when she got married. She has suffered so

much in her marriage without anyone to support her. Even the elder who protected her was so afraid

that no one would help her when they were gone that they taught her to endure hardship in silence. I

often think that if I were by her side, nob*dy would dare to bully her like this!”

Lawrence’s voice was hoarse.

Tears welled up in Abigail’s eyes as she whispered, “Dad…

“Abby, they hurt me so!” Lawrence tightly held Abigail’s hand. “I have dedicated more than twenty years

to this family, but what did they do in return? One threw my child into the sea, and the other protects a

murderer!”

Molly’s face turned ugly.

One of Lawrence’s uncles couldn’t help but speak. “What do you mean by throwing a child into the

sea?”

Sean listened to Lawrence’s words and felt uneasy.

Abigail’s past experiences were indelible. Even if he made amends now, the damage had been done…

It would always be there.

He knew very well that Lawrence was not blaming himself but blaming him.

As a father, Lawrence believed he had failed… and as Abigail’s ex-husband, Sean also felt like a

failure.

He glanced at Lawrence’s uncle and said in a low voice, “When Abigail was a child, Vincent and

Martha planned to make Lily replace her in order to form a marriage alliance with the Davidson Family.”

As prominent families in Capitalis, both the Davidson Family and the Pearson Family would benefit

from this alliance. This was a widely recognized fact.

“He didn’t do such a thing!” Molly still argued.

“Are you sure? He was already involved in fraud over twenty years ago! Molly, aren’t you afraid of

going to hell when you die? Do you know how many broken families, how many lives, and how much

blood and tears are behind the over 13 billion he defrauded?” Sean’s gaze turned cold.

“Now that Mr. Pearson has brought up these things, let today be a day of reckoning. I. Sean, once

wronged Abigail, causing her three years of an unhappy marriage with me. Even if the Pearsons regret

the marriage and nullify the engagement I had with Abigail, I have no complaints.” Sean looked at

everyone, his words resolute.

Everyone’s gaze toward Molly changed.

Thinking that Vincent was involved in fraud, they all distanced themselves from him.

“Are you telling the truth?” Another uncle spoke up, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Vincent.

“Do you think I would lie about something like this? If you really care, you can investigate what

happened to me in the Golden Triangle. I personally witnessed him in the underground entertainment

city, where numerous young men and women were lured in and brutally killed by beasts for profit. They

used the lives of others as chips to make money. What if your own children were among those kids?

They died in a foreign land, without even a grave.” Sean said calmly.
