Chapter 429 Her Talent
Lina was detained at the police station for three days before Sean came to bail her out. Having endured three days of hardship, she appeared somewhat disheveled as she emerged.
“Take her back to Pendorf. If she causes any more trouble, I’ll hold you accountable!” Sean handed Lina over to Xavien, not forgetting to lecture his subordinate along the way. After a quick acknowledgment, Xavien prepared to leave with Lina.
“Sean, I will leave Abigail alone if you marry Kelly, or she and I will never be done!” Lina was reluctant to leave, clinging stubbornly to her stance.
He turned to her and said, “This time, I had someone fix her tablet, preserving her design drawings, and that’s why you’ve only spent three days in there. Otherwise, you’d be facing a prison sentence. You’re already getting on in age. How can you not be reasoned with?”
“Don’t try to scare me!” She simply did not believe his words.
“Go on, make a scene again. See if I can help you next time. Do you think she’s the same Abigail from before? She’s now a renowned fashion designer with nearly a million followers on social media. Do you think you can insult or mistreat her at will?” Sean said and prepared to leave with Cameron.
Lina wanted to continue arguing with him, but Xavien stopped her. “Old Mrs. Graham, you should just go back. Ms. Quinn has a successful career now with so many fans. We can’t afford to provoke her.”
“You think I’ll believe you with that bit of bluff?” She shook him off, feeling aggrieved. “It’s only because of Sean that she’s able to achieve all that today.”
“I wouldn’t say that so lightly if I were you. If her fans hear about it, they’ll criticize Mr. Graham. Success in design comes from talent, not just money. Look at Joan Palmer; Mr. Graham invested so much money to make her a star, and look at her situation now.” Xavien pulled Lina back and led her to the airport.
“So, Sean gave her money to pursue design?” she immediately inquired.
“No, he didn’t. You’ll know once you check the company account after returning to Pendorf,” he promptly replied.
Lina fell silent for a while, then muttered, “She thinks she’s all that now that she’s famous! Sue me? Well, I’ll sue her! What had she done in her three years of marriage to Sean?! Can I not sue her for mistreating me?!”
“That would mean the whole world would find out about Mr. Graham’s past marriage with her. You want Mr. Graham to marry Kelly, don’t you? Do you think the Pearsons will allow their daughter to marry a divorced man?” Xavien replied in a hushed voice.
She felt frustrated upon hearing this. It seemed like nothing was going her way.
“Old Mrs. Graham, you should stop meddling in Mr. Graham’s affairs. And don’t get too close to Kelly. She’s not a good person, Xavien advised Lina as they continued on their way, hoping she would eventually
listen.
After all, her actions this time had utterly undermined the favorable impression that Sean had built in Abigail’s eyes.
“Well, Kelly is better than Abigail she exclaimed.
