"I-I... My phone's not with me..." Rowan stammered with a ghastly face.
To that, Sean pointed to his brother's pocket and asked, "What's in your pocket, then?"
"It's not my phone..." Rowan blurted, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Sure, it's not your phone!
"Rowan, what do you take all of us for? Idiots?!" Sean roared in anger, looking grim. "I'll say it again—hand me your phone, or I'll take it from
you!"
Rowan was apprehensive, for his chat history with Gregory was still stored on his phone.
If they got to his phone, then all his misdeeds would undoubtedly be exposed.
Though panic-stricken, he tried to buy himself some time while feeling the centipede’s movements; as of now, his only hope was on the invisible centipede.
However, the creature was far from taking over Sean, and the issue got him on the verge of flipping out.
There was absolutely nothing he could do if the invisible centipede wouldn't take over.
Meanwhile, when he saw how Rowan was stalling for time, Sean couldn't help but bellow angrily, "Hurry up!"
Spooked, Rowan shuddered and dropped his phone to the floor by accident, which Tristan grabbed in two shakes and handed to her father.
Meanwhile, Sean looked at his brother with utter disappointment, feeling heartbroken.
To think his own brother wanted his daughter dead! Hell, they were both his closest kins!
Who wouldn't be upset by the revelation?!
"Why did you do this, Rowan? She’s your niece, for heaven's sake! How... How could you do that to her?!" Sean asked with indignation.
"Why?" Rowan suddenly looked up, gritting his teeth. "You're asking me why? Let me ask you this, then. Why do you keep defending others instead of your own brother when I was defeated by Phoenix? When I was being bullied by others?! Why did you make me apologize to Matthew when he had been rude to me?! I am your brother, Sean, I am! Have you ever considered my feelings?!"
Sean frowned in response and retorted solemnly, "Are you even listening to yourself, Sean? How have I not stood up for you? How am I supposed to help you this time when you're clearly the one in the wrong? Also, I kept reminding you on this trip to Stonedale not to stick your nose in other businesses but only seek a doctor home. The feud between Neverland and Cunningham had nothing to do with our family, but you insisted on getting yourself involved in it. How am I supposed to help you when it's your fault that everything happened?"
