Chapter 602 Not Acknowledged


    "If you want to return to the Pearson Family—"


    "This is not your decision to make, Mom. She''s my child. What''s wrong if she wants toe back


    home?" Lawrence interrupted Patricia with a stern voice.


    "Alright, alright. This is not the ce for you to argue like this. The deceased would be upset if they


    saw this," Maisy interjected.


    At once, Patricia copsed into her arms, sobbing, "What kind of son did I raise?"


    Abigail couldn''t help but feel annoyed as she watched.


    As Maisy nced at Abigail, her displeasure showed in her eyes. "Since this child came back, both


    families have been in turmoil. I understand your feelings, but with so many people watching, arguing


    just makes you look like aughingstock."


    The sarcastic tone in her voice made Sean''s face chill several degrees.


    "It''s indeed aughingstock when criminals empathize with each other, and the victim ends up being


    portrayed as a viin," Sean said, taking Abigail''s hand. "Let''s go to the funeral hall and pay respects to


    Old Mr. Pearson."


    Abigail followed Sean to the funeral hall.


    Inside the hall, Josh and Luna were keeping vigil. Both of them looked exhausted, especially Josh,


    whose eyes were red.


    As Abigail approached them, she nced at Josh and then turned her gaze to Luna. "How is he?"


    "He hasn''t calmed down yet," Luna replied softly.


    After Gary''s passing, Josh had cried bitterly the day before.


    Abigail patted Josh''s shoulder and, together with Sean, approached the altar. She paid her respects,


    then returned to Luna''s side.


    Not long after, Lawrence and Scarlett came in and started weeping.


    As the sobs multiplied in the funeral hall, Abigail''s heart felt heavy.


    After a busy day in the funeral hall, Abigail and Luna returned to their respective homes in the evening.


    "Are you okay at the Pearson Residence?" Abigail asked Luna before parting ways. "Did Old Mrs.


    Pearson bully you?"


    "She''s been alright with me, but her attitude is changing these days. Anyway, I don''t care. Josh told me


    they''re all disappointed with her in the Pearson Family," Luna said nonchntly.


    Hearing that, Abigail made a hum of acknowledgment.


    …


    Gary''s funeral waspleted within a week. After that, Abigail officially moved to the Pearson


    Residence.


    As soon as she moved in, Patricia started making a fuss.


    "Who gave you the audacity to let her live here? Make her move out!" She mmed her cane on the


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    floor. "Gary has just passed away, and what are you trying to do? What are you trying to do?"


    With a cold expression, Abigail carried her suitcase and headed upstairs.


    Meanwhile, Sean looked at Patricia indifferently. "If she doesn''te back, will the Pearson Family


    "The Pearson Family has plenty of girls, and Lte is also of marriageable age—"


    "Mind your words, Old Mrs. Pearson. The contract states that I''m marrying Lawrence''s daughter, not


    someone else. Abigail is your granddaughter. Aren''t you afraid of punishment from God for saying such


    things?" Sean couldn''t be bothered to reason with her.


    "Lawrence, look at the kind of son-inw you''ve found!" Patricia turned to her son again.


    Lawrence sat down on the side. "What''s wrong with my son-inw? He''s just fine. You better not cause


    a ruckus like this. What if something really happens to you? How will you protect your Vincent?"


    Upon hearing this, Patricia quieted down.


    "Abigail wandered for nearly 20 years outside, all thanks to Uncle Vincent. It doesn''t matter if you


    protect him, Grandma. Justice has long arms. He''ll end up in jail sooner orter," Josh said indifferently,


    sitting on another couch.


    "Josh, how can you speak like this to me when I''ve watched you grow up?" Patricia couldn''t believe


    what she was hearing.


    "You only care about helping Uncle Vincent, but what about my sister? She just returned, and you


    intimidated her, didn''t you?" Josh spoke with anger.


    Patricia took a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes. "I intimidated her? If she hadn''t gone to see


    Gary, would he have died?"


    "Don''t try to pin the me on her. I know exactly what you''re thinking. You want our rtives to believe


    that she caused Dad''s death so you can keep her away from here, making her no threat to Vincent."


    With that said, Lawrence poured himself a ss of water.


    At that moment, Vincent returned from outside. Upon hearing Lawrence''s words, he snorted. "I''m not


    afraid of any threat. It was Scarlett''s sister, Martha, who threw the child into the sea. I had nothing to do


    with it."


    "Yeah, Scarlett herself has issues. That''s why her sister did such a thing. Her own sister threw her


    daughter into the sea. Who knows what she did to provoke Martha?" Patricia, as if having found


    leverage, immediately becamecent.


    Hearing that, Lawrence was so furious that he smashed the ss in his hand onto the coffee table.


    "Martha only did what she did because your son instigated her. How can you me her?"


    Sean watched them argue in silence and then calmly said, "Old Mrs. Pearson, do you know what your


    son has done?"


    Without a word, Patricia looked at him.


    "He engaged in fraud and human trafficking overseas and swindled over 100 billion from Eswadians.


    He wanted to use the money to force the Davidson Family to marry his daughter and thenunder the


    money," he said, chuckling. "But do you think that''s possible?"
