Chapter 536 Hostility Towards The Pearsons.

Cameron walked ahead while Abigail followed closely behind.

Soon, they arrived at the room. “I’ll open the door,” Cameron said to her.

Abigail nodded. After Cameron opened the door, she tilted her head to glance into the room.

Cameron instructed her to wait at the door and entered the room himself. When he entered the bedroom and saw Eric lying naked on the bed, he was overwhelmed with embarrassment. Furthermore, the room. had a strong odor, indicating that something had happened here.

Eric’s face was flushed, his breathing irregular. It seemed that he had been drugged, but... Cameron couldn’t tell if it was consensual or not. The room was in complete disarray.

He walked over and covered Eric’s body with a blanket. Then, he took out his phone and called Abigail.

Abigail was surprised to receive the call. “Can’t I go inside?” She answered the call and asked Cameron, “What’s wrong?”

“He’s been drugged, and I don’t know what to do,” replied Cameron. After all, Eric was a big celebrity, so taking him to the hospital was definitely out of the question. Moreover, it was evident that someone had intentionally caused this situation, but Cameron didn’t know the motive behind it yet. So, he dared not call an ambulance or let Abigail come in.

“I’ll call Josh,” said Abigail. She had no intention of going in either. If there was a trap waiting for her in the room, she would have a hard time explaining herself after going in in a situation like this.

Abigail called Josh..

Half an hour later, both the Davidsons and the Pearsons arrived, along with a tearful girl who was pushed out by Martha.

Lawrence and Scarlett’s eyes shone with eager anticipation when they saw Abigail.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Quinn. I’m Eric’s mother.”

Eric’s parents seemed cultured and refined, especially Eric’s mother. She had short hair and exuded. confidence, but she also looked stern.

“Nice to meet you.” Still confused about what was happening, Abigail shook hands with her in puzzlement.

Just then, Eric’s father said to Martha, “This is a matter within our families, so let’s take care of it ourselves.”

However, Vincent, who was next to Martha, replied, “You’re right. What happened this time is my daughter’s fault. We can agree to any demands you have.”

Terry Davidson, Eric’s father, furrowed his brow.

Abigail was led out of the hotel by Josh.

Lawrence and Scarlett followed them obediently, not daring to say a word.

“They were arranged to meet tonight by our families. It was supposed to be a blind date, but who would’ve thought that my cousin would actually drug Eric? What’s done is done,” Josh briefly explained to Abigail, O ୮ 1/2 Abigail hadi suspected that this was a trap when she saw Vincent. Now, hearing Josh’s explanation, she became even more convinced that the situation was more complicated than it appeared. “So, how are the Davidsons going to deal with this?” she asked Josh impassively.

Josh pondered for a moment before saying. “The Davidsons have strict principles and that cousin of mine... Now that she has done this, she definitely won’t let go of this opportunity.” In other words, she was determined to marry into the Davidson Family.

Abigail wasn’t supposed to get involved in this; after all, this had nothing to do with her. However, with Vincent’s involvement, she had to keep an eye out. Sean had lost over 100 of his men, and Luna had nearly lost her life in the Golden Triangle because of this man. Additionally, there were still secrets lurking behind him, so she couldn’t let him succeed in forming a marriage alliance with the Davidsons. “No matter how strict their principles are, they can’t let someone with bad intentions have their way after doing. something like this. Also, just because Eric is a man doesn’t mean that he has to bear with it and marry your cousin after being sexually assaulted,” she said, looking at Josh with a serious expression.

Josh was surprised by what she said.

“Sexual assault is a crime regardless of the victim’s gender,” she added.

At this moment, Lawrence said, “You’re right. We, the Pearsons, aren’t the kind of people who don’t know right from wrong. Eric is such a good kid, and yet he got bullied like this by a woman. He shouldn’t have to bear with it just because he’s male.”

Scarlett couldn’t help but argue, “But it’s Lily who did this.”

Abigail darted a glance at her. She retorted, “So, you’re shielding her regardless of the harm she caused to her victim just because it’s not your child who got sexually assaulted? Madam Harper, are you going to shield a rapist because she’s the daughter of your sister?

Her words were very blunt.

Scarlett felt her chest tighten at Abigail’s words. She stared at her in astonishment and opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she felt powerless to say anything.

Lawrence also sensed the strong prejudice and dislike Abigail held against them from her speech. He held Scarlett’s hand and apologized, “It’s her fault for saying the wrong thing. Please don’t be angry.” She is my own daughter... yet she’s so hostile to us, to the point where I don’t even dare call her by her nickname.

Abigail turned to look at Josh coldly. “That’s all I have to say,” she said before gesturing for Cameron to leave with her.

After getting in the car, she took the initiative to call Sean. Her personal aversion was nothing compared to the bigger issue at hand.

Sean answered the phone almost instantly. “What’s the matter?”

Abigail straightforwardly asked him, “Vincent’s daughter drugged and sexually assaulted Eric tonight, and I think the Pearsons and the Davidsons intend to let them marry each other. Do you think this could be Vincent’s plan?”

Perhaps because her words were too blunt, Sean broke into a coughing fit in response.
