The Spare Wife (Abigail Quinn and Sean Graham) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Stop the Fight

Sean hung up the phone, and his emotions flickered with a momentary sense of disappointment.

Alfie noticed it and smirked. “What’s the matter? You rejected her, and now you’re feeling down? If you really miss her, you can go back to Pendorf, I can manage things here in Capitalis.”

“Can you manage things now that you’re stuck on bed rest?” Sean shot him an exasperated look.

“Well, it is the most effective way to live. You don’t need to be called upon to do anything. Still, if you need my help with an investigation, I can handle it,” Alfie replied with a relaxed smile.

Sean reached out and patted his shoulder. “You’ve done enough. I’ll take it from here.”

Alfie’s face was pale due to blood loss. Yet, when he heard Sean’s words, he couldn’t help but mutter forlornly, “Do you think I’m useless? If I had been more vigilant, these things wouldn’t have happened. If none of these things happened, you wouldn’t have to handle these messes in Capitalis

Sean had always treated Alfie like a younger brother. So, he simply patted Alfie’s head and said, “What you’ve done is already commendable. Are you willing to lose your life for this?”

Of course, Alfie wasn’t willing. He had come a long way with Sean’s support and hadn’t enjoyed life to the fullest yet.

“Your life is important. Take care of yourself, Sean advised sternly.

“All right.” Alfie was surprisingly obedient.

Right after their conversation, Cameron entered the room. Then, he spoke respectfully. “I’ve found some crucial evidence.”

Sean gestured for him to continue.

Cameron approached before handing over a USB drive to Sean. Sean inserted it into his computer, and Alfie leaned over to watch.

The contents of the drive included security footage from a mental hospital. The footage was brief but revealing.

Sean recognized the elderly woman in the video. That woman was none other than Vincent Pearson’s housekeeper. She was someone who had been with the family for nearly her entire life and held a crucial position in the family.

Then, Sean examined the remaining images after watching the video.

Alfie praised Cameron with a thumbs-up.

1/3

Sean removed the USB drive and instructed Cameron, “Well done, but this isn’t enough. I want you to investigate the entire Pearsons’ financial situation. Don’t let a single issue slip through.”

“Yes,” Cameron replied, then turned and left without further ado,

“Remember, your safety is important.” Sean suddenly reminded him from behind.

Cameron paused, glanced back at Sean, and appeared genuinely moved. “I understand.”

After Cameron left, Sean felt somewhat uneasy.

Had he been so inattentive to the well-being of his subordinates prior to this? Just one sentence made Cameron so appreciative.

Meanwhile, Abigail was fully immersed in her design work at home when her phone received a notification for an Instagram post.
