Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 629

They didn't believe that Gary would actually come to find them, but they couldn't help feeling guilty.

How could Sean, an outsider, know about these matters?

Abigail observed Sean and noticed that he always came prepared whenever he confronted someone. Although this situation happened suddenly, Sean must have known about the Pearsons' affairs in advance.

"Our family matters don't concern you. You're an outsider." Vincent spoke up at this moment.

"I am Abigail's fiancé. Everyone in Capitalis knows about my marriage engagement with her family," Sean sarcastically retorted.

"If we are going to discuss splitting shares, it also means splitting up the family. Dad talked to me about this possibility before he fell ill. Mom, you have favored my brother for a long time. I used to follow your instructions and let him have his way because of his poor health. But now, he has become a heartless person. I won't let him have his way anymore." Lawrence had finally made up his mind.

He knew that Gary didn't want the brothers to split up, but now Molly had caused trouble in the family every day. He felt nothing but heartache and had no other emotions.

"Split up the family? Your father just died, and you're saying such things?" Molly suddenly became angry.

Lawrence looked at her with bloodshot eyes. "I am also your son. What have I done so wrong that you would rather call upon this group of people who have no connection to our family to come and hurt me? My daughter was thrown into the sea by your most beloved son and daughter-in-law. If she hadn't been lucky, her body would have drowned in the sea forever. She wouldn't even have a grave, and we wouldn't even know where she was. How can you treat me like this?"

Scarlett sensed the bitterness and pain in his words and immediately reached out to hold his hand, standing silently by his side with tears in her eyes.

Molly didn't say anything. She listened to Lawrence's accusations and couldn't argue back.

Abigail looked at Lawrence, and for the first time, she was truly moved by his words.

"Take a good look at her. She is your own granddaughter. Your first granddaughter. She was thrown into the sea by your own child and has lived for twenty years without parents. How can you bear to let so many people bully her?" Lawrence's voice choked as he spoke. "I hate myself for not protecting her properly back then. I hate that I wasn't there to guide her when she got married. She has suffered so much in her marriage without anyone to support her. Even the elder who protected her was so afraid that no one would help her when they were gone that they taught her to endure hardship in silence. I often think that if I were by her side, nobody would dare to bully her like this!"

Lawrence's voice was hoarse.

Tears welled up in Abigail's eyes as she whispered, "Dad..."
