Chapter 221 Excessive Indulgence
Abigail eyed Joan with an unreadable smile before raising her eyebrows at Sean. “How do you plan on
having her apologize? Is she going to bow or get on her knees?”
Joan hadn’t even apologized for her attempt to sabotage L.Moon’s reputation.
Sean glanced at Joan and said impassively, “You can ask her for any kind of apology you want, Ms.
Quinn.”
“Even though an apology from her would be great, it would also make it hard for me to swallow my
food. You should just take her away, Mr. Graham,” Abigail responded indifferently.
She had no interest in flaunting her power over others. Plus, as a fellow female, even kneeled in front
of her and apologized, she would find it humiliating as well.

Sean glanced at Cameron, who quickly said to Joan, “Let’s go, Miss Palmer.”
Joan bit her lip and cried out with a hurt expression, “Seanie…”
“Leave first,” Sean said.
Just then, Abigail said, “Miss Palmer, I have a few words to say to all of you.”
Even though Joan disdained Abigail, she kept up her innocent act.
“You only had the nerve to come to Ouisford and mock me for my divorce because you think you have
Sean to back you up. I didn’t ask you to get on your knees and apologize out of pity for you. Instead of
protecting you at a time like this, the man who makes you think you have the power to bully others is

now asking you to apologize to another woman. Do you really think I’m letting you off the hook because
I’m scared of him?” Abigail questioned apathetically.
Her words made Joan feel utterly humiliated.
Sean listened in silence. He was in no way upset.
He had his reasons for letting Joan do whatever she wanted.
“I really think you should be ashamed of yourself. How long do you think you can use your fake pitiful
act to gain sympathy? Plus, Sean’s not as dumb as you think he is. Who do you think you’re fooling?”
Abigail continued questioning.
All along, Abigail thought Sean truly doted on Joan, but based on what she saw today, he didn’t care
about Joan at all.
If she wanted Joan to kneel and apologize, Sean would have made Joan do it.
Because of that, everything seemed like a joke to Abigail.
Shouldn’t she feel ashamed for coming all this way to try and cause me more pain, just for the sake of
a man who would treat her this way?
Joan instinctively glanced at Sean, who didn’t seem to care at all.
“I’ll take a raincheck on your offer, Mr. Graham. I only want to have a meal with my friends today,”
Abigail said before turning around and walking off.
Lynette caught up to Abigail and muttered, “Why didn’t you make her apologize? At the very least, a
verbal apology is better than nothing.”
“I’d lose my appetite,” Abigail replied.
Josh silently trailed behind Abigail. He understood what Abigail meant earlier.
Sean hadn’t appreciated the old Abigail, and she saw a shadow of her old self in Joan–the foolish girl
who once loved Sean so dearly that she lost herself in the process.
Abigail felt saddened and cynical about that.
Dented after
“Sean’s excessive indulgence of her almost seems to be on purpose,” Josh climbing into the car.
“Who cares what he’s doing?” Abigail replied indifferently.
They had already gotten a divorce. She wasn’t going to have anything to do with Sean anymore.
No matter how amicably they had parted after the divorce, she knew full well that Analise wasn’t going
to let her remain close with Sean.
Once they left, Sean walked toward his car.
Joan and Cameron got in as well.
Sean didn’t rebuke Joan, but he didn’t even look at her either.
Cameron drove in silence. The atmosphere in the car felt suffocating.
“Sean…” Joan couldn’t resist calling out.
Sean eyed her indifferently without saying anything.
His reaction made Joan panic. She reached out to touch him, but he avoided her.
“What are you doing?” Sean growled.

“I know I made a mistake. I won’t go looking for her anymore. Can you please forgive me?” Joan
sobbed.
Sean scrutinized her for a moment before smirking. “I know full well you won’t actually change.”
Joan began sobbing even harder.
“Joan, Abigail gave you a reminder today. I’m not worth you getting yourself all battered and bruised
for.” Sean’s expression was icy. “No matter what you do, that won’t change.”
Joan refused to accept this. “She doesn’t understand you at all…
“Do you?” Sean retorted sarcastically.
“I… I’ve known you for so long,” Joan said tearfully.
Sean snorted. All of a sudden, he glared at Joan with eyes as cold as ice and said, “Joan, I’m going to
make it clear to you today. If you ever mess with Abigail again, I won’t get involved no matter what
happens to you!”
“But you promise my brother you’d take care of me!” Joan abruptly shrieked.
Sean didn’t respond and simply eyed her mockingly.
With her brother as her safety net, she constantly plotted and schemed behind Sean’s back.
He didn’t want to waste his breath on her anymore.
“Seanie…” Joan mumbled.
“Head back to Pendorf yourself. I have matters to attend to here.”
Sean’s expression was as distant as ever. He didn’t care about how upset she was.
