Chapter 601 That''s Taking Advantage


    Abigail thought it wasughable. Even now, they''re still tripping up the Davidsons? "What did the


    Davidsons say?"


    Analise pouted. "The Davidson couple probably knew Gary''s death had something to do with Vincent,


    so they ignored him. Said they either set the matter aside or they''d have a falling out and let Vincent


    have a taste of the consequences of his actions. The matriarchs are friendly, though."


    Abigail chortled and took a deep breath. "Those old bats better not do anything stupid."


    "The Pearsons are in turmoil. All the branch families want to reshuffle the share ownership. I suspect


    Patricia told Vincent to do it." Analise was worried about Abigail, so she added, "You might get pushed


    around if you go back."


    Abigail sneered upon hearing that. "They can''t push me around. Something''s off about Gary''s death.


    Did you keep the box safe?"


    "Sean is keeping it for you. We haven''t checked anything. I bet they wanted to reshuffle the ownership


    because you took too much, and they got convinced into this." Analise was angry on Gary''s behalf.


    "Why does Patricia like Vincent so much? She has other kids, so what makes him special?" Abigail


    couldn''t understand why. She hadn''t gotten along with her parents before, so she couldn''t understand


    why Patricia''s bias could be so strong.


    "I have no idea, but that''s what bias is. It can''t be exined," Analise stated. She had seen parents


    with a bias for a certain child. They were on a whole spectrum, and Patricia was just a member of that


    spectrum.


    Abigail''s eyes shone coldly. "I''ll find out when I get to their residence tomorrow." She didn''t share a


    deep bond with Gary, but whenever Abigail thought of how he died with his eyes still wide, she felt


    something crushing her heart.


    Sean only came out a whileter. "It''ste. Youdies get back and have some rest. I''ll need to help

    Josh out. He''s in a tough spot alone." With that, Sean said goodbye to Abigail and Analise.


    Abigail got into the car and waited for Analise toe in. "Once I go back to the Pearson Residence,


    you get back to Pendorf," shemented. "I can''t keep you safe when I''m there, and I have no idea


    what''s going on with them right now. If I can''t keep an eye on you, you might get in trouble."


    "Sure. Call me if you need anything." Analise wanted to stay and support her, but she knew she might


    be deadweight, so she agreed to the suggestion.


    "Sure." Abigail nodded.


    …


    The next day, Lawrence and Scarlett brought Abigail to the hall where the Pearsons had set up for the


    wake. There were a lot of people there. It was the first time Abigail saw how big arge family''s funeral


    could be. There are so many people here.


    Lawrence''s appearance brought silence upon the hall. Sean saw Abigail, and he approached her.


    Abigail was dressed in a ck suit with a white flower pinned to her chest. She was not a designer for


    nothing. Even a regr suit was nice on her. "I heard you sent Analise off to Pendorfst night. Aren''t


    you tired,ing here right after that?" he asked quietly as he huddled closer to Abigail.


    "I''m fine," she stated calmly.


    "Why did youe here?" Patricia snapped, taking advantage of the situation. "You killed your


    grandfather!"


    She thinks she can keep Vincent safe because she says that, huh? Abigail looked at the elderly woman


    coldly, and she sneered. "When Grandpa died, he called Vincent a b*stard. That''s enough to show


    who''s the real killer."


    "Shut it! If you didn''t visit him all of a sudden, nothing would''ve happened to him! You left this


    household, so why did youe back?!" Patricia screeched like a hysterical hag.


    "Mom!" Lawrence shouted, his voice trembling. "What are you saying?"


    Patricia''s eyes were red. "Don''t you see? She''s a jinx! The family''s ruined because of her! I should


    never have let you search for her! Never! Why are you doing this to me? Do you want me dead too?"


    Lawrence couldn''t say anything back to his mother after that.


    Scarlett took a deep breath and held Abigail''s hand. "Are you doing this to cover up for the crimes of


    your son? If you''re using my daughter of murder just to cover your boy''s a*s, then I''m going against


    you for my girl. What do you mean she ruined this family? If Vincent and Martha hadn''t thrown my girl


    into the sea, none of this would''ve happened! The son you spoiled is the one who caused this


    sh*tshow!"


    Abigail could see that Patricia was shivering in rage. She gently told Scarlett, "No one can stop me


    froming back if I want to return. Gary''s dying wish was for me to return to the family. I can''t say no


    to that, can I?"


    "She''s right, and I have a marriage to cash in with this family''s daughter. You owe me my wife," Sean


    chipped in.


    Abigail wanted to stomp his foot. Hey, don''t take advantage of the situation, alright?


    Sean noticed Abigail ring at him. He said solemnly, "I''m doing this to make myself your ally. How am


    I supposed to help otherwise?"


    Abigail didn''t want to banter with him.
