Sean proved to be quite unreliable. He impulsively threw away 400 million without a second thought. If anything were to happen in the future, they would be left with nothing, and their children would have to bear the consequences.
Colby patted his pockets and remarked, "It's settled. She's back, and you still have feelings for her. Let's just carry on as before."
"Alright." Sean nodded in agreement.
Thanks to Abigail, navigating through this obstacle with his grandfather and grandmother seemed effortless.
Abigail possessed an undeniable charm.
While Colby lounged on the couch, engrossed in playing cards on his tablet, Abigail couldn't resist asking Sean, "Is he no longer going out to play cards?"
"Your situation caused him a health scare. His health has deteriorated, and they discovered a herniated disc," Sean commented in a hushed tone.
Abigail felt a pang of guilt upon hearing that.
"Don't dwell on it too much. Your situation was not my doing, and it won't happen again. The 400 million paid for my lack of trust will be remembered for generations to come," Sean quipped with a smile.
Abigail pulled him up.
The two of them strolled to the yard, where Abigail gazed at him and whispered, "Four hundred million… Are you truly okay with that?"
"I actually have a substantial amount of money. Would you like to know?" Sean leaned in, lowering his voice.
Curious, Abigail fixed her beautiful eyes on him. "Tell me!"
Sean raised his hand to touch his cheek, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It was meant to be confidential, but if you truly wish to know, I can share. However, would you consider being with me?"
"One piece of information, and you want me to be with you?" Abigail turned to walk away.
Sean gently pulled her back.
With an arm around her waist, he locked eyes with her and whispered, "Just agree. Both Grandpa and Grandma wish for us to be together. Let's not cause the elders any worry."
Abigail furrowed her brows, and her lips were pressed tightly together. She was resolute in her stance.
Sean remained unperturbed. He pinched Abigail's chin and murmured, "In fact, while you were still at home, I uncovered their new money laundering method. They utilize live streaming on the internet, gaming, affluent individuals gifting, game recharges, fund splitting with the website, and subsequently laundering the money that flows into their accounts."
Abigail's eyes widened as she mumbled, "This seems… quite plausible?"
