Chapter 285 Are You Putting on a Show?
Abigail held her phone, tears welling up in her eyes.
She knew that one day, her grandmother, like her grandfather, would leave her due to old age. However, when her
grandmother said these words, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmingly sad.
“I know, Grandma.” Abigail’s voice was subdued, but she was no longer as panicked as before.
She realized that she had overreacted because of Chad and had forgotten that her grandmother had lived several
decades longer than she had.
“I’ll be back as soon as I get my business done,” Analise mentioned before hanging up the phone.
Her indifference left Abigail feeling flustered, and she sniffled while holding her phone, suppressing her tears.
Sitting on the couch, Abigail unfolded the letter and stared blankly at it.
What important business could Grandma have?
After a while, she folded the letter and stood up.

return.
Meanwhile, Sean had received news that Abigail’s grandmother was taking a train to Capitalis early on.
He had previously ordered Cameron to send a few men to keep an eye on Analise, so there were two of them
currently at Capitalis with her. Nevertheless, Sean felt somewhat reassured about Abigail’s grandmother’s trip to
Capitalis.
“Why would Old Mrs. Quinn go to Capitalis? Chad’s threat is no longer valid, and we’ve had the police remind her,
but she still went alone despite everything.” Cameron couldn’t fathom her
actions.
Sean’s expression was indiscernible under the dimly lit night.
He stood outside the self–service ticket machine at the train station with furrowed brows, watching as Abigail was
escorted out by station security and then re–entered to search for him.
Abigail had been arguing with security here for half an hour, trying to find out which ticket her grandmother had
purchased.
The last time she was escorted out, the security guard had gone from exasperation to anger. “If you come in again,
I’m going to call the police! Can’t you just go home and ask your family? If you think she’s missing, go to the police
station and let the police handle it! Obstructing official duties is illegal!”
Abigail’s hair was disheveled by the night wind.
Exhausted, she stood on the stairs for quite some time. Then, she turned around, sat on the steps, and rested her
head on her hands in frustration.
Sean approached her.
He stood in front of her, sighed helplessly, and asked, “If there’s really no other way, can’t you just ask me for
help?”
Abigail suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were red, and they were filled with a sense of powerlessness.
After taking just one glance at him, she lowered her head again, clutching her knees with her hands. “It’s not a big
deal. I don’t think I have to ask for your help.”

his tone laced with helplessness..
Abigail remained silent.
Since her divorce, she had managed to handle everything on her own without relying on anyone. She had her own
pride.
But today, her helplessness was made painfully evident to Sean.
Abigail unconsciously grasped her pants, her head buried even lower.
Sean crouched down in front of her, taking note of her striking yet cold facial features. “Since you’ve chosen to
treat me like an ordinary person, you should also ask me for help when difficulties. Your stubbornness makes me
feel like you’re deliberately putting on a show for me.”

Abigail immediately raised her head and glared at him. “Who’s putting on a show for you? Since our divorce, I’ve
made it clear that we’re no longer related. I do everything because I want to, and I’ve never intentionally done
anything to impress you.”
“So, what’s the issue?” Sean raised a brow at that.
Abigail pursed her lips, deciding not to argue further.
