Chapter 284 I Will Leave You One Day
When Abigail read the comments from netizens, she couldn’t help but smile.
Though they deemed the business tactic rather low–end, it had already brought her a lot of
trouble.
With Chad injured, Abigail managed to temporarily secure the pearls in her possession.
The only thing left to deal with was Micah.
Time passed day by day, and a week went by in the blink of an eye.
After leaving the company, Abigail received a call from Anthony.
“Here’s a gentle reminder to come to the alumni reunion tomorrow. Should I pick you up?” Anthony’s voice on the
phone was incredibly gentle.
No, thanks. Just send me the address.” Abigail politely declined the offer.
“Alright. By the way, I saw what happened to you online. How are you doing now? Is your grandmother okay? I’ve
been really busy lately, and it seems like you’ve been overwhelmed with all these issues, so I only decided to ask
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou today since I didn’t want to disturb you.” Anthony’s tone was laced with concern.
“I’m fine. Making money is never that easy, and you’re bound to encounter some difficulties, but I’ve managed to
resolve them,” Abigail responded. Over the past few days, she had inquired and learned that Sean had been
constantly assisting her.
However, since she and Sean had parted ways at the restaurant the other day, she hadn’t seen him again.
He also used to park his car outside L.Moon often, but he no longer did so.
“Okay,” Anthony replied before hanging up.
Clutching her phone, Abigail felt somewhat disheartened. It seemed like there was a growing. barrier between her
and Anthony.
As soon as she got into her car, she received a call from Ronaldo.
“The investigation involving Kelly and Micah hasn’t yielded any direct links or strong evidence,” Ronaldo uttered with
a somewhat downcast tone.
“I had suspected that might be the case, but the current situation seems to be in our favor, no?” Abigail consoled
Ronaldo.
“We didn’t find anything conclusive, but we did discover that there is some force behind Kelly. It’s force that isn’t
directly connected to the main branch of the Pearsons but has significant ties to their collateral branches,” Ronaldo
continued.
Abigail contemplated the information. In prominent families like the Pearsons, differences between the main branch
and collateral branches were not uncommon. Many families faced such internal divisions.
She didn’t want to get involved in the Pearsons‘ disputes. If it weren’t for Kelly coming from afar to target her, she
wouldn’t have wanted to concern herself with matters that had nothing to do with her.
“You should be aware that the Pearsons were considering a marriage alliance with the Davidsons, right? Originally,
if their missing daughter wasn’t found, they would pick someone from the collateral branches for marriage. But her
return dashed the hopes of the daughters from the collateral families marrying into the Davidsons,” Ronaldo
explained.
Abigail widened her eyes when she heard that. “That means Kelly’s presence is actually a threat to the interests of
the collateral branches. They won’t support her. Instead, they’ll try to deal with her by any means necessary.”
“That’s right. I’ll make a speculative suggestion, but please don’t be upset. I suspect that Kelly’s identity might be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmquestionable. Could the reason she picks on you be related to the fact that you once met all the conditions that
were the closest match for the daughter who went missing from the Pearsons?” Ronaldo asked in a hushed tone.
Before investigating Kelly, Ronaldo had also conducted a background check on Abigail, and he knew of her strong
aversion to getting involved with the Pearsons.
Abigail let out a sigh. “I have no connection to the Pearsons. I can say that with certainty.”
Ronaldo hummed in response. “Whether you have a connection with her is secondary. What’s important is that the
collateral branch of the Pearsons is supporting her, so she’s most likely a pawn in their game.”
“This is unrelated to the evidence we need to find. As long as Kelly doesn’t bother me, we shouldn’t get involved in
her identity or her relationship with the Pearsons. Now, all we need to do is focus on Kelly and find evidence of her
targeting me. Once she quiets down, our business will improve,” Abigail explained to Ronaldo in a composed
manner.
“You’re right. I’ll continue keeping an eye on her, then.” Ronaldo acknowledged.
He understood that she had reservations about the Pearsons.
After ending the call, Abigail pushed Ronaldo’s concerns aside and drove home.
As usual, she opened the door and walked into her house.
However, the house was eerily quiet, so much so that one could hear a pin drop.
Due to the issue with Chad, Abigail suddenly became anxious.
“Grandma!”
