At the next instant, 'Jesse' had opened the door and started to throw up all over the ground.
The cars of the other Cranstons also arrived at the grounds of the manor as well.
Since they had been sticking together, they naturally noticed the cars that were chasing Sean's.
Everyone was worried as they alighted when they saw 'Jesse' vomiting so miserably and hurried to him in concern.
Paul was even snapping at Sean already. "Aren't you going to help your grandfather when he's like this—"
He trailed off as 'Jesse' could not help looking up just then.
And no matter how much he resembled the real Jesse, he was obviously not the man.
"Who is he?!" Paul bellowed loudly, while the others were left stunned by the man too.
'Jesse' then turned toward Sean just then, who decided to show his hand. "He's a paid actor."
"What?!" Paul was incensed. "Were you f*cking with us, Sean?!"
"Everything I did, I did to expose the culprit trying to hurt Grandfather," Sean calmly replied.
Paul snorted. "And? Did you get them?"
"I have to admit that I gave myself too much credit."
"So, you failed."
Sean quietly nodded.
"Sean, you're really…" Paul suddenly could not find the word and growled, "You're ridiculous!"
"Well, that's why I'm giving up now." Sean did not appear upset with Paul's outburst and quietly came clean. "I won't mind admitting that it's my loss and yielding leadership of the family if the culprit was one of us, even telling them that their disposition is indisputable at this point."
