CHAPTER 698 A BEAUTIFUL VISION

Luna's circumstances prevented her from devoting all her time to work.

"That's it, then. I'm also working on developing the company's management team. When we get married again, we'll have more time for our family!" Sean spoke optimistically about his future with Abigail.

Abigail looked at the anticipation on his face and smiled, but she couldn't help but wonder if all of this could be achieved within two years.

"Let's take a walk after dinner, Sean. I have something to tell you," Abigail said, holding his hand tightly.

"Okay." Sean began to sense that Abigail had something weighing heavily on her mind.

While they were sitting down to eat, Lawrence suddenly said, "You went on a business trip to Saraville, right? I don't think we have any business there, though."

His words made both siblings at the table tense up.

Josh didn't dare look at Abigail and instead replied, "I went to visit Mr. York. His granddaughter just returned from studying abroad, and he wanted me to meet her."

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Lawrence muttered with a puzzled expression.

Scarlett seemed worried. "You're not going to be with his granddaughter, are you? I like Melanie York as a person, but I wouldn't want her to be a part of the Pearsons."

"Why not?" Abigail asked instinctively.

Sean looked at her but didn't say anything.

"I'm someone who goes by first impressions. Mr. York's granddaughter is exceptional in every way, and I think she would be a good match for anyone. I just don't really like her. She seems too serious at times, and she wouldn't gel well with an introvert like Josh." No matter what, Scarlett still preferred Luna. Luna had a lively personality and a quick temper, but most importantly, she could bring out the best in someone as reserved as Josh.

"Is that so? What do you think, Josh?" Abigail looked at Josh curiously.

She originally thought that Josh had gone to Saraville because of her. Her heart thumped nervously, but she was eager to hear his answer.

When she heard that he went to meet someone, Abigail felt a bit disappointed.

She didn't want Josh to find out, but at the same time, she wanted him to know as well.

"I don't have any feelings for her. Our families were pretty close when we were younger, but they moved to Saraville, and we lost touch," Josh explained to Abigail.

Abigail felt a little relieved, but soon, she felt like she was being selfish. Given Luna's situation, Josh would never accept her, even if she was the victim.

After finishing their meal, Abigail went for a walk with Sean.

The Pearsons lived in the bustling area of Capitalis. As soon as they left the residential area, there were various shops and supermarkets along the way.

Sean held Abigail's hand, and he had many questions in his mind, which eventually turned into a sigh. "Well, what do you want to ask me?"

"Why do you sound so melancholic?" Abigail looked at him sideways.

Under the streetlights, there seemed to be a flickering flame inside Sean's eyes. He looked at Abigail and shook his head slightly. "It's not melancholy, just contemplation. What do you want to ask me?"

"Why is there still no news about Vincent?" Abigail was eager to know the forces behind Vincent, whether they were foreign or domestic.

"I suspect that even if we find out, Vincent will just be a scapegoat," Sean said. He had asked the police department; as long as the money didn't flow into domestic accounts and remained overseas, they couldn't investigate the case.

Abigail frowned and asked, "So, the money hasn't returned to the country yet?"

Sean didn't answer this time. "I'm not sure," he replied.

"Is that so?" Abigail immediately became nervous. "What does that mean?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, so don't worry. Is that the question you wanted to ask me?" Sean wondered if Abigail had suddenly brought this up because of their recent discussions about work.

"More or less. I just feel like Vincent has been excessively arrogant for a long time," Abigail replied.

"He doesn't have much reason to be arrogant now. His daughter and child have been gone for almost two years since they were expelled. What a hopeless marriage," commented Sean with a raised eyebrow. "He can't even leave the country, you know. Someone is keeping a close watch on him."

"It's better to closely monitor him. If we gather enough evidence, he'll have to go to jail," Abigail said in a hushed voice. After what he did to Luna, if he didn't end up in prison, Abigail would be shocked.

"He'll be arrested if there's evidence," Sean replied.

Abigail leaned on him. "You shouldn't keep obsessing over this matter. Let the police department handle the investigation, alright? We don't even know who's behind him. It's not wise for you to rush in without knowing."

"What's wrong with that? Are you worried that I can't handle the people supporting him?" Sean retorted.

Abigail looked at him. "I'm being serious. Have you forgotten what happened in the Golden Triangle?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, and I dare not forget. No, I can't even forget about it." Sean's eyes turned cold. He had never experienced such a loss, and it was impossible for him to let go of the harm he had endured. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Abigail squeezed his hand, saying, "Alright, stop dwelling on it. Even if you don't forget, you still have to move on. I won't allow you to get involved in these matters anymore."

"That's a difficult request. You know I always seek revenge." Sean wouldn't let Vincent and the people supporting him off that easily.
