I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 701

Alice vanished suddenly, and as Abigail gazed at the pitch-black sky, it felt like a surreal experience to her.

When she woke up from the dream, Alice would still be there...

Sean reached out and playfully pinched her cheek. "Alice told us not to be sad about her before she passed away. Don't let these things bring you down."

"Okay," Abigail nodded softly.

However, she wasn't as carefree as Sean made it seem. The situation with Larry indirectly harmed Granny, and she could never let it go. She might carry the burden of guilt for the rest of her life.

It was nearly midnight when they returned to Capitalis.

Abigail sent a message to Ronaldo.

'I apologize for not being able to talk to you lately due to Alice's affairs. I would like to speak with you now.'

This time, Ronaldo did not immediately respond to Abigail.

Abigail sat by the window, frequently glancing at her phone, feeling uneasy. Unfortunately, she did not receive a response from Ronaldo this time.

As she lay in bed, she kept tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

On the other side, Sean sat in front of the computer. After reading the document, he received an email from Xavien.

He stared at the email for a long time before finally opening it.

As he had suspected, Alice was poisoned, and the drugs had accumulated in her body to a dangerous level. She didn't seek medical help until it was too late to save her.

Sean called Xavien. "Who has she been in contact with this month?"

Xavien paused for a moment before whispering, "Mr. Graham, the only people Alice has been in contact with in the past month are Ms. Quinn and Ronaldo."

Sean's mind felt like it was being pricked by countless needles. In an instant, he recalled Abigail mentioning that she was going to discuss the Marimora pearls business with Ronaldo... which also happened to keep her occupied for nearly a month.

He had told himself countless times to trust Abigail, but Alice's situation made it impossible for him not to think, not to investigate.

"Did you investigate further?" Sean inquired.

"No, I was waiting for your instructions." As soon as Xavien discovered Abigail's connection to Ronaldo, he didn't dare to proceed with the investigation.

Sean fell silent. He knew very well that Xavien refrained from investigating because he understood that trust was crucial between him and Abigail at this stage.

If he truly investigated and Abigail found out, would they still be okay?

"For now, hold off on the investigation and wait for my call," Sean said, then hung up the phone.

With Alice's death and Ronaldo deliberately concealing the truth, both Abigail and he knew the reason.
