Chapter 300 Bringing an End to Everything
Josh had only started investigating these matters yesterday afternoon. So, how could he possibly. find out anything so soon? Moreover, he had also been suffering significant resistance during his investigation.
“I don’t know,” he answered calmly.
“Alfie Willis. You know the Willis Family in Capitalis, don’t you? He has a very close bond with Sean, and now he’s lying half-dead in the hospital. The Pearsons might face intense scrutiny from Sean until he’s satisfied,” Eric said. His tone finally held some concern for Josh when he mentioned this fact.
“Alfie Willis…” Josh’s eyes darkened.
In the social elite circles of Capitalis, this name had gone from being everyone’s laughingstock to an unspeakable existence. The main reason for that was all because of Sean.
“You know Sean’s temperament. If it weren’t for Alfie’s intervention, it could be Abigail lying in the hospital in critical condition. Both Alfie and she are important to him. Now that they’re both involved in such danger, do you think he will let the Pearsons off easily? If the Pearsons don’t clear things up quickly and provide him with a satisfactory explanation, Sean will never let the Pearsons have a single moment of peace,” Eric said. He was indeed angry at the Pearsons’ actions. Regardless, he genuinely believed that Josh was likely not involved or aware of their actions.
“Eric, the Pearsons will provide an explanation for Abigail,” Josh a*sured him.
“Josh, I want to ask if the Pearsons are doing all these things behind the scenes because I chose Abigail over the young lady of the Pearsons for marriage. Is that why you’re targeting her?” Eric didn’t want to beat around the bush with Josh.
“These things still lack concrete evidence that the Pearsons are behind them. Your words are quite irresponsible,” Josh responded with a hint of displeasure in his voice.
“I don’t think you and I can find evidence of this,” Eric retorted.
After a moment of contemplation, Josh asked, “So, what do you want to do?”
“The root cause of these events lies in the arranged marriage between the Davidsons and the Pearsons, which I reneged on. I hope you can play along with me. Of course, I don’t want you to tell Kelly about it,” Eric said as he lowered his voice slightly.
Josh didn’t speak but listened quietly to the plan Eric laid out.
After Eric finished speaking, Josh couldn’t help but ask, “Is it really worth doing all this for Abigail? I don’t think this approach is suitable. It might burden her even more.”

“I won’t let her know that I’ve done all this, and I’m hot doing it to make her accept me. I just want to make amends. Moreover, if it weren’t for us recklessly approaching her, she wouldn’t have been. entangled in all this trouble. Since the trouble arose because of us, let’s be the ones to put an end to it.” Eric’s tone became unexpectedly gentle.
“All right,” Josh said softly.
He had always regarded Eric as a brother because he truly was a kind and upright person. Furthermore, what he said was right. Everything that had happened to Abigail was ultimately due to his poor judgment, which got her entangled in the Pearsons’ turmoil.
While Abigail was still impatiently waiting for further information from the Capitalis police, news. about Eric’s engagement to the young lady of the Pearsons was spreading like wildfire on the internet.
This news was hard for Eric’s fans to accept.
It also came as a surprise to Abigail. Plus, she couldn’t help but wonder why Eric, who was usually not so impulsive, had made such a decision. Nonetheless, she knew better than to interfere with the decisions of two prominent families as they often had various complex reasons behind their choices.
Eric’s fans were in an uproar, and some had even threatened to unfollow him.
Yet, Abigail couldn’t help but notice that Eric didn’t reveal which young lady of the Pearsons he was engaged to.
“Abigail, Mr. Graham is here. He said he wants to see you.” Abigail’s a*sistant suddenly informed her, which interrupted her train of thought.
She looked at her a*sistant. After a brief consideration, she nodded. “Let him in.”
The a*sistant smiled before turning to invite Sean into the office.
Shortly after, Sean entered the room while holding two cups of coffee.
“I brought a cup for you. I hope you don’t mind,” he said as he approached the couch.
Abigail shook her head and watched as her a*sistant closed the office door. Then, she stood up and asked, “What brings you here?”
The engagement between the Davidsons and the Pearsons is not as simple as it seems. I came to discuss this matter with you,” Sean said before sitting down on the couch with the coffee.
Abigail waited until he had taken a sip of coffee before saying, “I know, but I don’t know the reasons behind it.”

“Alfie has a close relationship with me. Right now, I’m doing everything I can to deal with the Pearsons. If the Pearsons say they’re not afraid of my retaliation, it’s probably a lie,” Sean replied. calmly.
His words made Abigail think, Alfie said he’s just one of your lackeys….
“Do you mean that the Pearsons and the Davidsons are trying to join forces to deal with you?” Abigail’s brows furrowed, and her expression grew serious.
For some reason, she felt that Eric wouldn’t do such a thing. He was generally mild-mannered, but he wasn’t someone who would let others manipulate him.
She had always thought of him as honorable. Would someone like that take responsibility for the Pearsons’ wrongdoings?
“Although there is a possibility that might happen, you and I both know that it doesn’t align with his character.” Sean looked at Abigail, and his gaze was seemingly calm. Nonetheless, it also held a deep intensity, as if he cared greatly about her a*sessment of Eric.
“Eric hasn’t mentioned which young lady of the Pearsons he’s engaged to. Could his actions be related to the internal division within the Pearsons? Abigail moved closer to Sean, staring at him. with bright and focused eyes.
