The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 546 She Needs A Reality Check Abigail nodded, realizing that she should inform Ronaldo later to ensure that Eric is taken around and not put in a compromising position.
They spent the entire day out and had dinner before returning to the Graham Estate.
Upon arriving home, they witnessed Analise and Liná arguing in the yard once again.
âHey, I asked you to till the soil. Have you not eaten? How do you expect anything to grow with such compact soil?â Analise scolded angrily.
Pounding her back, Lina retorted, âIâm already doing you a favor by working with you. I have enough to eat and drink. Why should I farm? Iâm tired of it!â
âYou have nothing else to do, so just farm! Itâs good for you to experience some hardship. You useless old hag!â Analise scolded.
After hearing all this, Sean craned his neck to look inside the yard. âThey certainly have a lot of energy to argue every day.â
Meanwhile, Abigail massaged her temples and sighed. âTwo old troublemakers.â
At that moment, he suddenly turned around and looked into her eyes seriously. âDo you still hold a grudge against Grandma? Do you find it difficult to get along with her? If you still feel uncomfortable, I can have Cameron drive you back to the city since itâs not late now.â
âBefore, I used to think I didnât want to see her, but when I actually met her, I didnât feel anything,â she replied.
Furthermore, Lina had changed a bit. Perhaps being deceived so badly by Kelly made her reconsider her actions. If she hadnât been genuinely innocent, she would be in prison by now.
âThatâs good. Iâve asked people to prepare some clothes and a guest room for you. You can stay here for a month to rest,â he said and turned to walk into the yard.
âYour grandmother became more obedient after staying in the police station for quite some time,â she whispered as she followed him.
With a smile, he said, âShe needed a reality check.â
âDo you know about her situation?â she asked.
Suddenly, he paused. Seemingly worried that Lina might find out, he walked closer to her and spoke in at hushed tone. âI had a suspicion when Grandpa told me, but I wanted to see what they were up to, so I didnât interfere. My grandma is the type who wonât change her ways unless she faces a major setback.â
âBut I didnât know about her involvement in the romance scam, of course,â he added.
Abigail nodded silently.
Sean continued, âA few days ago, I asked her about her thoughts on Kelly, and she got furious, saying at least you were honest, without as many bad intentions, âSheâs mocking me. A smile tugged at her lips.

O 1/3 He said with a smile, âYouâve always been honest.â
Hearing that, she thought, I used to deceive you back when we were deeply in love, but thatâs all in the past.
Now that she had returned here, she felt neither fear nor resentment. She simply didnât have strong emotions about it anymore, perhaps because she genuinely didnât care and had let go of the past.
Inside the living room, Xavien was busy organizing a stack of documents. When he saw Sean, he immediately stood up and called out, âMr. Graham, these are the recent company documents you need to review.â
Abigail glanced at the pile of documents. Thatâs quite a lot.
Sean had initially planned to spend some quality time with Abigail, but the workload was too demanding. so he had to attend to his immediate tasks.
âXavien, are you feeling alright?â she asked casually as she sat down on a couch.
Immediately, Xavien replied, âIâm fine, Ms. Quinn. Thank you for asking.â
âTake a break. Donât work too hard all the time. Abigail was a considerate boss.
Meanwhile, Xavien was grateful for her concern. âThank you, Ms. Quinn.â
âJust rest. Iâll take care of these, Sean said, picking up the documents and resuming his business-like tone from his days at the company.
With that, Xavien sat down quietly and took out his phone to reply to messages from his friends.
The three of them sat silently in the living room.
Abigail also chatted with Luna, and she learned from her that Lily had been causing a scene because Eric had run away. She cried and even attempted self-harm, causing chaos in the entire Pearson Family.
âWhat are Joshâs parentsâ opinions?â
In fact, she believed that Lawrence held a certain level of influence within the Pearson Family. If he were to step forward and oppose this marriage, what could Vincentâs family do? After all, the Pearson Familyâs financial power was in Lawrenceâs hands, and with economic influence came a certain level of authority.
âHis father hasnât been home for a while. I donât know what heâs up to. As for his mother, she neither supports nor opposes; she simply observes the chaos in Vincentâs family.
Abigail couldnât comprehend why Vincentâs family dared to create such a commotion, âNo matter what, Eric wonât give in,â she responded.
âThatâs good. Eric is the best actor on TV. His parents have successful careers too. Lily couldnât even pass her exams abroad.
How could she be worthy of him? If they were dating like a normal couple, I wouldnât bring up this hierarchy, but drugging someone is just unacceptable.
Luna became quite talkative when discussing gossip.
I think itâs Lilyâs parents who encouraged her. I donât think her not-so-bright mind could come up with something like this on her own.â
Seeing that, Abigail thought, Youâre right.
âOh, Lynette is back too. You know her, right? She says she really likes you. She wanted to invite you to dinner, but since youâre in Pendorf, she couldnât.
Abigail certainly remembered Lynette. She was a clever girl from the Pearson Family as well.
Lynette said that Lily and she are both studying at the same college in Ansela, but they are in different departments. She mentioned that Lily is extremely vain and flaunts her wealth within her social circle every day.â
