THE SPARE WIFE - Season 4 Episode 5

Abigail had been working tirelessly and hadn’t slept until 2.00AM. She was frantically trying to find people related to the murder case tied to Sean.

Just when she was about to collapse from exhaustion, she received a call from Ronaldo. I can’t believe he’s also pulling an all-nighter. After a moment of surprise, she answered the call.

“According to inside information, Sean has escaped. What on Earth is going on with him? Did he really let Kingston take the blame?” His tone was filled with shock.

“What do you mean by ‘escaped?” Abigail immediately demanded.

“I’ve found records of Sean crossing the border illegally. This information was provided by the police. I’m not making any false accusations here, he hastily replied.

“Mr. Fernandez, I want to go to Cloudgrove to find out what’s going on. Can you help me?” she asked. She was apprehensive about traveling to the border of Cloudgrove, for it was a dangerous place.

“Of course, I can help you with that. I can even accompany you. He readily agreed. There was even a hint of excitement in his voice.

Abigail noticed his enthusiasm, but she didn’t think much of it. “The border of Cloudgrove is quite dangerous. I’ve heard stories of people falling asleep in their cars and waking up on the wrong side of town,” she warned him gravely.

“Don’t worry about that. You will be traveling on my private jet and car. Who would dare sneak us across? Also, if Sean is really in that area, you should consider going there. There’s no point hemming and hawing about it even if it’s dangerous.” Ronaldo didn’t seem concerned about the risks.

Since they were in an agreement, she packed her things overnight. Then, she told Analise about Sean’s situation around noon. I’m going to Cloudgrove to see if I can help him.” She sat at the dining table while looking at Analise, who had a displeased expression on her face.

Analise was so upset with Abigail that she didn’t even want to talk to her because the latter hadn’t advised Sean, which had led to his current disappearance. “What can you do to help him?” she asked, sounding upset. After that, she lowered her head and continued eating in absolute silence.

“I’ve contacted a friend who has some influence. He’ll assist me when I need help. While you’re at home, please don’t answer the Pearsons’ phone calls and buy groceries from the supermarket just outside the neighborhood. There are security cameras nearby, so it’ll be safer. I’ve also informed. Luna about our situation. She’ll come to check on you after work,” Abigail explained.

“I told you to stop him. Why didn’t you? It had to come to this- Analise’s words were cut short, for she couldn’t bring herself to scold Abigail further. “Do you think Sean really did those things?”

Sean’s case was now being reported on local television. After all, he was the representative of Pendorf’s business community, known for his significant tax contributions and impeccable reputation. For many years, he had had no scandals of any kind, making him an ambassador for the city.

“Justice has long arms. If he’s truly guilty, he can’t escape from its grasp. However, if he’s innocent, nothing will happen to him. Let’s wait for the police investigation results,” Abigail reassured Analise. She naturally didn’t believe that Sean had committed those crimes, but she didn’t want to make any promises until it was certain. There was always a chance for misunderstandings.

Analise sighed and said no more on the matter.

After lunch, Abigail and Ronaldo took a plane to Cloudgrove and went straight to the local police

station.

“We received concrete information around midnight last night that he attempted to cross the border illegally and had already entered the territory. We’ve contacted the local embassy, but there have been no results so far. The situation doesn’t look optimistic,” the police officer informed Abigail.

When she heard that, she furrowed her brows, looking at Ronaldo while biting her lip.

“Even if someone like Sean goes there, it won’t end well, will it?” Ronaldo asked the officer.

The officer nodded. “We invest a lot of effort every year in public awareness campaigns, but many people still attempt to cross the border illegally. Ultimately, they disappear without a trace. Once they’re on the other side, it doesn’t matter who they are; they will face severe consequences.”

Abigail and Ronaldo left the police station after receiving nothing of worth.

A puzzled Ronaldo frowned. “Even if he made someone take the blame, it doesn’t make sense for him to attempt an illegal border crossing.”

“Do

you think Sean is that kind of person? There’s something strange about this. Cameron can’t be contacted as well. Nobody knows where he is. Abigail’s face was filled with undeniable

concern.

“Sigh, we’ve got nothing.” He ran his hand through his hair, utterly frustrated.

She couldn’t help but feel completely at a loss. Nevertheless, she quickly regained her determination. “Even if Sean did commit a crime, he wouldn’t try to escape and evade charges by illegally crossing the border. Perhaps he didn’t cross the border at all. This whole situation might have been orchestrated by

the Pearsons. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have cut off contact with everyone. His grandparents are still in Pendorf.”

She was confident that Sean wouldn’t abandon his grandparents and Graham International. Who would run the company if he left?

That’s true. He doesn’t seem like a coward. Ronaldo agreed.

Even though he said those things, he continued to look at Abigail with helpless eyes and asked, “What should we do next?”

“The police failed to find any useful information. So, we should try to gather information from local sources. Don’t forget, money talks. We’ll surely get some information in no time,” she said, looking at him with determination in her eyes.
