Chapter 875 The Almost Wedding

I Want a Divorce

Luna informed Josh of their impending marriage, eliciting an overwhelming sense of joy as if he

could soar through the skies. He brought the license and a makeup artist to the hospital to assist

Luna in her preparation.

Abigail sat next to them, watching the makeup artist apply makeup to Luna while she texted Sean.

'Luna and Josh will be joining us in matrimony.'

She thought, If all proceeds as planned, we should return by one or two in the afternoon.

After dispatching the message, she reclined on the couch and observed the trees swaying in the

wind. The rustling sound gradually induced drowsiness, eventually leading her to sleep.

Analise, whom Abigail hadn't seen for an extended period, manifested in her dream. Someone

guided Abigail into the mist, yet Analise intervened and pulled her back. She trailed behind Analise

leisurely, keeping a close eye on her, and felt compelled to confide. "Grandma, I have decided to

marry Sean."

Analise turned to gaze at her, her countenance exuding kindness. With a mere smile, the dream

vanished.

Abigail awoke from her dream brimming with joy. Although she knew it was a dream, it still elicited

feelings of pleasure. She retrieved her phone and observed that Sean had not responded yet,

prompting her to await his reply patiently.

Luna was elegantly attired in a white dress that resembled her skin tone, seated on the bed in a

manner reminiscent of an ailing princess.

Time elapsed at a slow pace.

After lunch, Abigail had not yet received a response from Sean, prompting her to contact him via

phone.

Xavien responded.

"Where's Sean?" Abigail inquired of him.

"Mr. Graham has been apprehended." Xavien's tone carried severity.

Abigail experienced a moment of physical weakness in her legs, causing her to struggle to maintain

her balance.

Luna observed an anomaly and inquired hastily, "What is the current situation?"

"Sean encountered a problem necessitating my return to Pendorf." Abigail terminated the phone call

and directed a slightly apologetic glance towards Luna. "Inform Josh that the marriage will not

proceed."

"What happened?" Luna shouted with a sense of anxiety.

"He was apprehended and escorted by an individual of elevated status, Luna. I extend my

apologies." Abigail uttered with reddened eyes before turning and departing.

Luna tensed up and thought, The marriage could wait. What concerned me was whether my

situation had endangered Sean.

Upon Abigail's arrival in Pendorf, she inquired of Xavien, her eyes tinged with redness, "For what

reason was he apprehended, and to where was he conveyed?"

"I am not aware. They mentioned that the information is confidential." Xavien appeared to be in a

state of helplessness. "According to Jonell, Mr. Graham employed Thesos mercenaries to eliminate

Carl as a means of dealing with him. Carl’s family holds significant sway in Ansela."

Abigail leaned against the wall, taking a deep breath. Her eyes were red, with tears hanging from

her eyelashes, rendering her fragile and helpless. "Is there no solution available?"

"I've used all available connections yet unable to find a solution. They simply left me waiting for any

updates or news." Xavien expressed his helplessness by shaking his head.

Abigail lapsed into silence momentarily before softly uttering, "It is acceptable. Let us pause

momentarily. If we cannot wait any further, we will engage in conversation at that time. Regardless

of the circumstances, the outcome is incarceration. I will patiently await his return, regardless of the

duration."

Xavien offered comfort by patting her shoulder in silence.

Sean was absent for a week, and Xavien informed Abigail that Sean had been discharged.

Upon Abigail's arrival to collect him, she observed Callen and Kadrick assisting him leisurely.

Sean appeared pale and in a distressed condition, unable to stand.

Abigail hurriedly approached, displaced Callen, and provided him with support. "Sean." Her voice

quivered, rendering her unable to articulate, already constricted by tears.

Kadrick retreated two paces, allowing Xavien to take Sean's place.

"Mr. Graham has been undergoing recent questioning, leading to some instability in his emotions.

To the best of my knowledge, the situation remains unresolved. He will resume interrogation once

he has recuperated." Kadrick conveyed a sense of helplessness while discussing this matter.

Abigail gazed at him with gratitude. "Can you furnish additional specific information?"

"Let us first deliberate on this at the hospital," Kadrick responded.

Upon Sean being sedated and falling asleep at the hospital, Abigail observed his pallid lips,

experiencing profound feelings of sorrow.

"The incident involving Carl served as the catalyst, yet the issue's essence is intertwined with the

Simpson Family." Kadrick's tone was serious.

"The Simpson Family?" Abigail's thoughts quickly turned to Simond.

Kadrick nodded. "The Simpson Family experienced a reorganization last month, during which

Simond's father, Stephen, was tragically killed, with suspicions pointing towards Sean."

Abigail remembered Simond's prestigious reputation.

"Mr. Hinton—" Abigail was on the verge of pointing out that Sean had not yet left the country, but

Xavien promptly interrupted her.

"Thank you for your assistance today, Mr. Hinton. Can you please provide me with information

regarding the upcoming interrogation?" he inquired.

Abigail pursed her lips and maintained a state of silence.

Kadrick glanced at Sean, his eyes mirroring a sense of helplessness. "It is anticipated to occur

within approximately a week. However, enduring recurrent interrogations of this nature can induce a

state of madness."

Hence, they had only one week to assist Sean in vindicating his reputation.

"I have devised a plan." Callen, who had maintained silence until that moment, decided to speak.

Abigail observed the situation and thought, Sean harbored no fondness for Callen. However, on this

occasion, he comes out, appearing to be utilizing Kadrick's influence.

"You may proceed first," Xavien said courteously.

"I believe that by publicizing Mr. Graham's story, the Simpson Family members will be unable to

damage his reputation in the face of public scrutiny." Callen expressed her anger with a flushed

face. "He has made significant sacrifices to assist numerous individuals in reclaiming their stolen

funds. Therefore, the question arises as to why he should find himself in such a situation."
