THE SPARE WIFE - Season 4 Episode 4

Four years ago, the internet wasn’t as vibrant as it was nowadays. Therefore, when someone died, not many people paid attention, even if there were accusations thrown around on Instagram. So, it was natural that something this massive would eventually fade into the past unless it was brought to light once more. Just as Abigail had expected, this video was quickly gaining notoriety.

‘Do you think this is true?’ Luna messaged Abigail again.

Abigail bit her lip as she replied. It needs further verification. Kingston isn’t a good guy. Besides, if this is true, why didn’t he just confess when he was arrested back then? It’s quite a coincidence that his buddy is now telling his tale, especially when the Pearsons and Sean are locked in conflict.

She sent the message and tried calling Sean. Unfortunately, there was no answer on the other end.

Since their divorce, she had been able to reach him almost instantly whenever she called. Today wasn’t one of those days. Now that she thought about it, he hadn’t responded to her messages either. So, she couldn’t help but feel worried when her calls went unanswered.

Have I been too confident about Sean? When Grandma first told me to stop him, I should have believed her. Yet, all I did was give him a heads-up. Could the current situation have been averted if I had plucked up the courage to persuade him to even a temporary cease-fire?

Then, she made dozens of calls, but none went through. At this point, she was starting to get

anxious.

After she hung up the phone, she sat in a chair, quietly thinking about how to resolve this.

Sean had helped her so much. Now that he was in trouble, she had to do something about it.

Soon, she received a call from the police.

She was somewhat nervous but answered the call and said softly. “Hello.”

“Has Sean Graham contacted you? Do you know where he is? Ms. Quinn, according to our investigation, you were the last person to contact him. Please tell us the truth, and don’t try to hide anything.” The voice on the other end of the line was stern and authoritative.

Abigail took a deep breath before replying. “He is in Capitalis, but I tried to contact him just now and couldn’t reach him. I sent him a message on WhatsApp four hours ago, and he didn’t reply either. I’m afraid something has happened to him. Please, officer, could you quickly check in Capitalis? I was just about to report him missing.”

The police officer was at a loss for words for a second. After a while, he said in a deep voice, “Understood, we will contact the police in Capitalis right away.” He then hung up the phone.

Regardless of what Sean might be facing now, the fact that it had alarmed the authorities meant

that he was safe.

In the meantime, Abigail immediately called Ronaldo.

Soon, Ronaldo answered the call, his voice filled with excitement, “What’s going on with Sean? Well, I guess there’s nothing surprising about such things. Who among those who’ve risen to the top doesn’t have a few lives on their hands?”

“Sean would never do something like this. If one wants a business to thrive in the long run, it has to be clean. You know that,” she reprimanded him coldly.

When he sensed her anger, he instantly kicked his enthusiasm to the curb and asked seriously, “Did you call me for help?”

“Yes, help me investigate the recent exposure online. Can you find the details of the corporate dispute from back then?” Then, she added, “If you can do it, I promise your Marimora pearl business will thrive.”

Well, I can’t possibly refuse now, can I?” Once he said that, he hung up and got to work.

Tonight was bound to be a sleepless night..

On the other hand, Sean’s eyes were covered with a black cloth, and his hands were tied under the chair he was sitting on. It was pitch black in front of him, but he remained calm without a hint of panic.

“You’re really something else, Mr. Graham. You’ve been abducted to your enemy’s turf, and yet you’re still so calm. It’s no wonder you have managed to successfully secure your position as the head of Graham International,” the man in front of him said in a deliberately altered voice.

Sean tilted his head in the direction of the voice, lifting his head as if he were looking at the man. “Did you abduct me because you have a surprise waiting for me outside?” he asked calmly.

The man stared at Sean with a mocking expression on his face. “Mr. Graham, you came on so strong, acted recklessly, and showed no regard for anyone. I thought you were much more capable, but is this all you’ve got?”

Naturally, Sean knew what the man was referring to-the fact that he had been abducted just like that. “As they say, accidents happen. I let my guard down this time, and now I’m paying the price. Still, I don’t believe you can keep me tied up forever,” he answered dispassionately.

“Do you know where you are now? You’re at Cloudgrove’s border. Just cross a river, and it doesn’t matter if you’re the president of any company or how powerful you are. Disobey, and you’ll lose your arms, legs, and even your kidneys. Even worse, you might lose your life in a foreign land, and no one would even know.” This time, there was a touch of regret as the man continued, “Mr.

Graham, you’re a great talent. You should have stayed peacefully in Pendorf, but you just had to come to Capitalis and throw your weight around. Did you think Capitalis is a place where you could act as you please?”

Sean listened silently and didn’t respond.

When the man noticed that, he assumed Sean was afraid as his chuckles took on a more gleeful tenor. “I heard that your ex-wife also went through something like this, but she was lucky. I wonder if you’re as fortunate.”

“My men will find me, Sean finally spoke. Alas, his tone was tinged with tension.

Of course, the man noticed his sudden change. Nonetheless, he merely narrowed his eyes and didn’t expose Sean. “Is that so? Perhaps your men are sitting in jail, thanks to Kingston. I hear he has given you quite a surprise.”
