Chapter 273 A Good Show
After putting Kevin into a cab, Sean headed toward Joan’s residence.
“What’s going on?”
Sean’s expression was dark and mysterious as he sat in the car Xavien used for tailing.
“Their aim is to use Old Mrs. Graham as a threat. She will force you to pressure Mrs. Graham into dropping the lawsuit against Kingston and forgiving him so they can get him released from prison, Xavien stated solemnly.
Sean sneered in response. “Joan is someone who knows how to avoid trouble and seek benefits. She’s already seen the consequences of those who go against me, so she’s not foolish enough to do that. Keep an eye on her. I’m anticipating the good show she will put on for me.”
After saying that, he opened the door and disappeared into the darkness.
At that moment, Joan discussed the next day’s plan with Kingston’s friend.
However, a knock on the door startled her.
She quickly exited the temporary chat application and approached the door, asking in a low voice, “Who is it?”
“It’s me,” the person outside the door replied.
The owner of this voice was precisely the person Joan had been yearning for day and night.
She eagerly opened the door, but when she saw who the guest was, her face quickly turned pale.
The next morning, as usual, Lina set off from the Graham Estate to go shopping at the supermarket.
She pushed a cart through the crowd and occasionally saw couples with children. She would even- envy the parents who carried a little chubby child in their arms for a while before moving on to the next aisle to pick ingredients.
It’s about time Sean goes on a blind date. This can’t go on forever! Lina sighed.
“Grandma, are you shopping for groceries too?”
A familiar voice resonated beside her.
When Lina turned around to see Joan, her expression instantly fell. “Who’s your grandma? I don’t
have a granddaughter! I heard that your brother kidnapped Abigail’s grandmother and got into trouble. How many years of imprisonment was he sentenced to?”
She was eager to get Sean a wife, but Joan’s brother, who had committed a crime, wouldn’t fit her criteria at all!
Joan felt somewhat awkward due to the elderly woman’s reaction. With reddened eyes, she appeared as timid as a rabbit who was bullied. “If it weren’t for that old lady from the Quinns insulting Sean and claiming that he has an affair at the hospital, my brother wouldn’t have been driven to kidnap her. She was trying to frame him!”
“Yeah, and who knows how much money he spent!” Joan added, playing along.
