I Want a Divorce by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 231 Inner Hopes

Abigail hummed in acknowledgment, a slight sense of unease washing over her.

“We’ve found out that Joan has a brother named Kingston, and he has a criminal record,” Josh slowly

informed Abigail.

Abigail listened quietly, and after he finished, she responded with a simple “mm–hmm.”

“After Kingston was released, he contacted Sean and handed Joan over to him. I’m not sure if Sean

mentioned any of this to you,” Josh continued.

Abigail thought about what Sean had said about Joan’s relative saving him… Could it be Kingston? Did

Kingston end up in prison because of Sean?

“Please continue,” she said, reeling back her thoughts to focus on the conversation with Josh.

She knew that Josh was preparing her for something more important.

“As a result, Kingston kept a close eye on Joan from the shadows. The first time he targeted you, he

got in touch with someone who had some knowledge of traditional medicine. After causing harm to you,

that person fled abroad and hasn’t been in contact with Kingston since,” Josh explained slowly.

Abigail immediately inquired, “Can we find direct evidence?”

“I’ve already dispatched someone abroad. If everything goes as planned, we should have results within

a month. However, that’s not the most crucial part. We’ve gathered evidence linking Kingston to the

person who kidnapped you.” Josh’s tone suddenly turned serious.

“I’m currently out of town…” Abigail wanted to see the evidence, but since she had already said she

was on a business trip, and there was only a month left until June, she was too busy to return

immediately.

“You can file a police report first. We’ll send the compiled evidence to you, either by mail or personally

delivered to someone you trust,” Josh gently advised Abigail.

Abigail thought for a moment and said, “Alright, you or Lynette can send the items to L.Moon, and

personally hand them over to Luna.”

“Understood. If you encounter any difficulties in the legal process, just let me know.” Josh’s voice was

incredibly gentle, carrying a hint of indulgence.

“Alright… I have to return to work.” Abigail felt a bit awkward.

“Take care not to overexert yourself,” Josh said before falling silent.

Abigail waited for him to hang up, but he didn’t seem to do so. In the end, she had to hang up

first.

After ending the call, she set the phone down and rubbed her arms.

Once she calmed down, she began to contemplate.

Does Sean know about all of this? If he does and is keeping it from me…

In the following days, Abigail attended to her own affairs while Sean strolled around the village. He

managed to catch every catchable critter and swindled the children out of their trinkets.

As June approached, Sean, who was busy harvesting lotus roots in the pond, received a call from

Cameron.

“The Pearson Family has found evidence implicating Kingston in Abigail’s kidnapping. Luna intends to

take the case to court against Kingston and Joan.” Cameron’s tone sounded extremely

urgent.

Sean’s face immediately turned grave. “Do they have concrete evidence?”

He had been investigating the matter as well, but he hadn’t expected Josh to beat him to it.

Considering that the Pearson Family had the Davidsons‘ help, what couldn’t they uncover?

“Yes, the evidence is solid. Should I negotiate with Luna on your behalf?” Cameron asked Sean.

“No need. Let them proceed with the lawsuit,” Sean replied indifferently.

This matter was orchestrated by Kingston and Joan. Since he hadn’t found any evidence, he would

treat it as though he knew nothing and wouldn’t get involved.

In the end, Kingston would come to him anyway.

“Alright.”

After ending the call, Sean furrowed his brows.

If Kingston came to him, he had to help the guy, but in doing so, he would have to offend Abigail.

Thinking about it, Sean let out a sigh.

When Sean returned to the homestay with fresh lotus roots, Abigail was chatting with the Handlady in

the courtyard. Seeing him return, she spoke up. “I’m leaving after lunch today.”

“Have

you

finished everything you needed to do?” Sean asked Abigail, his expression unchanged.

“Yes, I have a meeting with a client tomorrow, so I must leave today.” Abigail nodded.

In reality, she would be heading to court tomorrow. After all, Luna was only representing her, and she

had to be there in person.

Filing the lawsuit against Joan and Kingston was done quietly.

Of course, during this time, Josh had called her to let her know that Sean might be aware, but she

wasn’t sure why he hadn’t taken

any action.

Abigail didn’t care whether he knew or not. Joan had instigated Sean’s grandmother, who nearly

caused fatal harm to her own grandmother. Joan also conspired with her brother to harm Abigail and

then kidnap her. She would never forgive them for everything they had done to her.

Even if Sean chose to stand on their side, Abigail wouldn’t let Joan and Kingston off the hook.

“I’ll go make lunch for you,” Sean said with a warm smile before heading inside.

Once he was upstairs, the landlady smiled and said, “Sean is handsome and can cook. You should

treasure him.”

“But he’s not my type,” Abigail lied with a smile.

If he sided with Joan and Kingston, it would be impossible for Abigail and him to be together in the

future. Moreover, if he really did so, she would still feel a pang of sadness. She secretly hoped

that, even if it was just once, he would stand on her side.
