Meanwhile, Sean was playing cards with a few of his close friends.Ian casually drew a card, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and smirked. “Well, well… the sun must’ve risen in the west. What’s this? Sean actually has time to hang out with us? Shouldn’t you be picking up your precious Charlotte f
Sean leaned back slightly, deep in thought. “It seems the person behind all this has more power than we expected.”His fingers tapped absently on the edge of the desk. “Did you ask the Gibson family?”Sam nodded. “We did. Their response hasn’t changed. They claim that Mr. Gibson had no idea Judy was
