    Chapter 284 I Will Leave You One Day


    When Abigail read thements fromizens, 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 thepany, Abigail received a call from Anthony.


    “Here’s a gentle reminder toe to the alumni reunion tomorrow. Should I pick you up?” Anthony’s vo


    ice 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 busytely, and it seems like you’ve been overwhelmed with all these issues, so


    I only decided to ask you today since I didn’t want to disturb you.” Anthony’s tone wasced with conce


    rn.


    “I’m fine. Making money is never that easy, and you’re bound to encounter some difficulties, but I’ve ma


    naged 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 ag


    ain.


    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,” Ronald


    o 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 cotera


    l branches,” Ronaldo continued.


    Abigail contemted the information. In prominent families like the Pearsons, differences between


    the main branch and coteral branches were not umon. Many families faced such internal divisio


    ns.


    She didn’t want to get involved in the Pearsons‘ disputes. If it weren’t for Kellying from afar to targ


    et 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 woul


    d pick someone from the coteral branches for marriage. But her return dashed the hopes of the daug


    hters from the coteral families marrying into the Davidsons,” Ronaldo exined.


    Abigail widened her eyes when she heard that. “That means Kelly’s presence is actually a threat to the


    interests of the coteral branches. They won’t support her. Instead, they’ll try to deal with her by any m


    eans necessary.”


    “That’s right. I’ll make a spective suggestion, but please don’t be upset. I suspect that Kelly’s identity


    might be questionable. Could the reason she picks on you be rted to the fact that you once met all t


    he conditions that were the closest match for the daughter who went missing from the Pearsons?” Ron


    aldo 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 importan


    t is that the coteral branch of the Pearsons is supporting her, so she’s most likely a pawn in their gam


    e.”


    “This is unrted 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 rtionship with the Pearsons. Now, all we need to do is focus on Kelly a


    nd find evidence of her targeting me. Once she quiets down, our business will improve,” Abigail exin


    ed to Ronaldo in aposed 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!”


    She searched the house, looking for any signs of her grandmother, but she couldn’t find her. In her anxi


    ous state, she noticed a letter on the coffee table.


    She had a bad feeling upon seeing that.


    Walking over to the coffee table, she picked up the letter and started reading it.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “I’m leaving home for a week, Abigail. Please take care of yourself at home. I’ve prepared some pasta i


    n the fridge so you can heat it up and cat it. If you don’t want to cook by yourself, you can just


    eat these. I’ll be back in a week.”


    Whenever Analise went back to her hometown in the past, she used to feel reluctant to send her off, bu


    t she was never worried.


    This time was different.


    Abigail immediately made a call to her grandmother.


    After a long wait, the call was answered.


    Abigail’s voice was filled with urgent concern as she questioned, “Why didn’t you tell me you were goin


    g out? Where are you now? I’lle and find you!”


    “I’m on the train and will arrive tomorrow. What are youing over for? Don’t you have work? It’s no d


    ifferent from how I used to go back to the countryside. Do you think I’m a three–year–


    old child?” Analiseined.


    It was the first time Analise talked to her in such a tone. Hence, Abigail was slightly taken aback.


    “Grandma…” she muttered in a meek voice, much like a child who had done something wrong.


    “I have a really important matter to attend to, Abigail. Don’t be too dependent on me. When you’re hung


    ry, just eat by yourself. When it’s cold, dress warmly. There wille a day when I’ll have to leave you f


    or good,” Analise stated slowly amid the noisy background on the train.
