Chapter 1784


    "Hey, they’re all on the house!" Sean was clearly on edge.


    "No need. Getting an ind from you is a big deal as it is. Thanks for not fleecing me and leaving me in


    the woods for the beasts to tear me apart."


    "Sis." Sean was dying to ask if it wasn''t toote to get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness.


    In the chilly air, Steward was continuously wiping sweat from his brow, "Ms. Collins, you''ve got it all


    wrong. Sean''s been digging into that clinic fire all along. Some folks are sly as foxes, hiding their tails.


    Just as we were closing in on some clues, you went and rescued that kid from the cage. Truth is, if you


    hadn''t stepped in, Sean would''ve ordered us to save the kid. We were just waiting for the key suspect


    to show, and the very next second, we''d have made our move!"


    "So, I screwed up your n?" Arabe quipped, clearly amused.


    Steward was a nervous wreck, thinking, man, Ms. Collins can be intimidating. He nced at Sean,


    mentally tossing the ball into his court as if to say, "I''ve lost my voice, man. Your turn."


    Sean, panicking, didn''t know what to say and snapped at Steward, "What are you talking about? We''re


    the ones who scared her! Besides, she was investigating the fire too, doing her part in secret. She''s the


    unsung hero of the family!"


    Turning to Arabe after that, Sean tried to appease her with a desperate charm, "It''s all my fault. Hey,


    you''ve got those boxing gloves in hand - take a swing at me."


    Arabe couldn''t help but suppress a smile, pretending to stay silent.


    If only his sis would agree to hit him, that''d be fine. But what if she stayed quiet like this? He was


    tempted to wire another five million dors to David and beg for advice on how to soothe his sister''s


    anger.


    "I wasn''t there to investigate the clinic fire," Arabe finally threw him a lifeline.


    Sean grabbed the chance, "Then what were you doing there?"


    What else could it be if she was spotted in a ce as chaotic as the Demon Ring?


    "I went to get a medicinal herb, I just happened to see you with someone."


    Hearing this, Sean cut her off, "Sis, let me exin; it''s not what you think!"


    Steward was beyond mortified, thinking Sean''s reputation was beyond saving - even a miracle worker


    couldn''t fix this mess.


    "There''s no need to exin your personal life to me, Sean."


    "No, that woman was trying to drug me; she''s a hitman; she wanted to kill me."


    "That exciting, huh?"


    Sean was baffled. Exciting? His sister truly was one of a kind.


    "Ms. Collins, Sean''s got a lot of enemies out there. He mighte off as a bit of a jerk, but that''s just


    his armor.”


    Sean thought, “Who are you calling a jerk? Don’t think I can’t hit you with my sister’s presence.”


    Steward racked his brain to rehabilitate Sean’s image, "Ms. Collins, you didn''t see him when we


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    thought you were kidnapped. He ripped out his IV and raced to the abandoned building. When they


    tricked Sean into believing you were dead, the grief on his face was enough to make even a tough guy


    like me want to cry. He really cares about you!"


    "Shut up," Sean cringed at the cheesiness. Would his sister think it was as cringe-worthy as he did?


    Hearing that Martha''s people had lied to Sean about her death, Arabe looked at him and saw a


    vulnerability that was so unlike his usual confident demeanor.


    "Alright." Arabe said, lightening up, "Let''s call it water under the bridge."


    Both Sean and Steward exchanged nces, barely containing their urge to jump up and celebrate.


    Had his sis forgiven him? Was she really not holding a grudge?


    Sean felt, once again, that his sister was the best!
