Chapter 283 A Complete Victory
Josh felt irritated by Ericâs tone.
âArenât we friends? How can you be mad at me when you have no conclusive evidence that it was Kelly
who did it?â
Josh was supportive of Eric pursuing Abigail. However, he was frustrated at Eric because he was accu
sing Kelly without solid proof, all for Abigailâs sake.
Josh was his closest friend, and he hoped that, in addition to Ericâs feelings for Abigail, the man would
also approach this situation rationally, especially since Kelly was Joshâs sister.
Ericâs direct suspicion of Kelly seemed to disregard his feelings as a friend.
In a gold tone, Eric said, âIâve known you for many years, and I trust you. But I donât know Kelly, so I ha
ve no reason to believe her. Shouldnât you consider the time youâve known her? Just tell me
Thav if she knows your pa*sword.â
âHow could she possibly know that? Besides, I will find out how my money was transferred to Abigail,â J
osh explained.
âI trust Abigail, and Iâll always stand by her side.â Eric declared
his determination and promptly hung up the phone.
It was peaceful and quiet at L.Moon Studio throughout the morning. However, during lunchtime, Katie p
ublished a post on Instagram.
There was no caption, but she tagged the official account of Pendorf Police Station and attached photo
s of Chad in the hospital, along with a medical report confirming his injuries. His eyes were swollen, his
face had numerous wounds, and he had a cast on one leg.
This post stirred up a significant commotion.
Abigail frowned as she clicked on it and saw that the comments were filled with conspiracy theories.
âKatie has been renowned in the jewelry business for a century. Even if
they are making customized jewelry for someone, do they really need to force them to buy pearls from
someone else? Besides, doesnât Katie have the connections and resources to purchase Tahitian pearls
?â
âKatie once released limited edition
jewelry with Tahitian pearls. Who knows how much of what Alana wrote is true? Moreover, ever since
her studio became wellâ
known, itâs been frequently trending online. How can she prove her innocence?â
âLetâs hope the netizens stay rational. Even if Chad appeared overly aggressive in the video, beating
omeone to the point of severe injury is too much, isnât it? Are people from Pendorf this fierce? Iâm scare
d to visit the studio now in case I say something wrong and get beaten.â
Clearly, there were sock puppets trying to shape the narrative.
However, Chadâs injuries were real. The question remainedâwho was responsible for this incident?
Abigail was skeptical of someone, but she couldnât be sure.
Faced with Katieâs attempt to manipulate the situation, Abigail wasnât worried. The fact that Chad wasnâ
t causing her trouble anymore was a positive development. As for the sock puppets, it wouldnât affect h
er. After all, she was innocent, and any investigation would only prove her
innocence.
âWill this have any impact on us?â Abigailâs a*sistant expressed concern, her face filled with worry.
âWe didnât hurt him, so how could it affect us? But judging from the way he speaks, Iâm sure heâs bound
to get himself into trouble sooner or later,â Abigail calmly replied before eating her meal again.
Her a*sistant sighed without another word.
After they finished their meal, the police from Pendorf Police Station replied to Katieâs post.
âUpon further investigation, it is confirmed that during his visit to Pendorf, Chad Lancome threatened an
d intimidated one of the responsible individuals from L.Moon, Abigail Quinn. After a failed attempt to for
ce her into a business deal with him, he privately contacted Ms. Quinnâs grandmother. He is suspected
of deceiving the elderly lady into befriending him. While deceiving the elderly woman, Mr. Lancome als
o personally visited Ms. Quinnâs home. After being driven away by her, he continued to threaten her wit
hout any remorse. He was seen by a pa*sionate young man who identified himself as Mr. Hopkins. He
misunderstood Mr. Lancome to be a morally reprehensible man. In order to stand up for justice on beha
lf of women, Mr. Hopkins took the matter into his own hands and gave Mr. Lancome a beating during th
e night. Our department has strongly reprimanded Mr. Hopkins, who has caused harm. We have also i
mposed a fine of 300. We hope that all members of the public will exercise caution in their words and a
ctions and refrain from crossing ethical boundaries at any time and in any place.
Upon reading this statement, Abigail nearly sprayed the water she was drinking onto her computer scre
en.
On the other hand, Luna burst into laughter while clutching her stomach. âChad is insane! How could h
e deceive Old Mrs. Quinn into being friends with him?â
Abigail wiped her mouth with a tissue, pondering whether âMr. Hopkinsâ was actually Cameron Hopkins.
She scrolled through the comments to find that everyone was having a good laugh.
âI hope I misunderstood the text about befriending and tricking the old lady. Otherwise, Chad is truly ab
normal. I must also say that this gossip is genuinely hilarious. Mr. Hopkins, the pa*sionate young man,
sounds like a modernâday Spiderâ
Man. Even though we donât know what he looks like, he sounds pretty cute.
Mr. Hopkins did a good deed but got fined 300? Being a pa*sionate young man surely isnât easy! Katie,
please donât cry foul. Threatening someone by showing up at their home to do business? Itâs challengin
g my worldview. Is this the modern way of conducting business? If they are not stirring issues on social
media, theyâre showing up at peopleâs homes in real life. Canât they engage in a more sophisticated for
m of business competition?â
âIs Katieâs social media filled with sock puppets? The police have confirmed that Katieâs CEO, Chad La
ncome, threatened people, deceived the elderly about pearl purchases, and feigned being a victim. It is
truly mindâ
boggling! What kind of CEO is he? Has he lost his mind? Heâs the worst. corporate executive of the yea
r. Such outlandish actions can only be carried out by someone foolish.
