Chapter 537 Bullied By A Wicked Woman Abigail was perplexed by his reaction. “Is it really so difficult to accept? Eric is a human being, and he can also be bullied, right?

Don’t dismiss this as unimportant just because he’s a man, okay?”

Sean became serious. “I don’t think it’s unimportant. It’s just that you could have expressed it more. delicately.”

“I’m being serious!” Abigail snapped.

Sean immediately responded, “Yes, I know. Vincent probably has some shady business dealings. That’s my initial guess, especially considering what Eric’s parents do. You know very well that if he aligns himself with the Davidsons, if any problems arise, the Davidsons will definitely find a solution for him and his family. Otherwise, they’ll be implicated too.”

He’s really sharp: he understood Vincent’s intentions right away, thought Abigail.

“With Eric’s parents’ current standing, they can’t afford any mistakes,” Sean continued.

“You’re right,” Abigail agreed.

Sean continued to explain, “Kelly is one of their people, yet she had her eye on me. I think it’s also to create an opportunity for Vincent’s daughter to marry into the Davidson Family. If it’s only for a slight -benefit, insisting on this marriage would come at a high price for them. It must be that they have so much money that they can disregard the law.” He enjoyed discussing these matters with her; only then would she listen carefully and take every word he said to heart.

“What do you plan to do, then? I’ve already passed on this information to you.” Abigail also wanted to stand up to Vincent and seek justice for Luna, but the problem was that she had no leverage against him.

Sean replied, “You’re the one who has to do this. Tell Eric to sue Vincent’s daughter, even if it damages his reputation. If he doesn’t do so and goes through with the marriage, the entire Davidson Family will be ruined.”

Abigail wasn’t sure if Eric would be willing to do that. He had worked so hard to get to where he was today. Being in the entertainment industry, such a revelation would only harm him.

“You can try talking to him. If he can’t handle the pressure, there’s nothing we can do. You’ve done well today,” Sean said in a gentle voice.

“Alright, I’ll talk to him,” replied Abigail. She planned to have Josh ask Eric out and have a conversation. with him-provided that Eric could overcome this setback and was willing to meet her.

After ending the call, she texted Josh, asking him to keep an eye on the Davidsons and prevent them from resolving the situation through marriage.

Cameron looked at her, his eyes sparkling. “If I ever get bullied like that by a wicked woman, will you stand. up for me?”

“This is a serious matter. Stop indulging in hypothetical scenarios!” chided Abigail, her expression stern. “I know that. I was just asking,” replied Cameron, feeling a little hurt.

“Cameron, think about your fighting skills before you say such things, alright? If something like that really happened to you, I’d suspect you intentionally got yourself into that situation,” said Abigail with a serious face while crossing her arms.

1/2 “But what if I encounter a very formidable woman?” Cameron pressed.

Abigail covered her face. “You’re quite confident about your looks, aren’t you?”

Cameron chuckled. “Well, don’t they say different strokes for different folks?”

“Don’t worry. If something like that happens to you, as long as you’re genuinely wronged, I’ll stand on the side of justice,” replied Abigail with a sigh. This guy is becoming more and more dramatic.

The discussion about Eric and Lily’s situation continued late into the night. However, since Eric was still unconscious, his parents didn’t immediately agree to the marriage demand.

“Let’s discuss it tomorrow when Eric wakes up,” said Jessica Abney, Eric’s mother, feeling exhausted. She didn’t want to prolong the discussion any further. If it weren’t for the good relationship between the elders of both families, she wouldn’t have calmly discussed this for so long. Eric was such a well-behaved child, and the way things turned out after his visit home this time broke her heart as a mother, Terry supported her, his lips pressed together in silence.

“Alright then. You two should go back and rest. We can revisit this when Eric wakes up tomorrow,” said Martha with a helpless expression. Then, she lightly smacked Lily twice.

Seeing the couple off at the door, Vincent softly apologized, “It’s our fault for not properly raising our child, leading to your son’s suffering. However, we’ll take responsibility for what happened. We’ll prioritize our children’s future in all our decisions.”

Terry and Jessica wearily nodded and then left.

As soon as they got into the car, they found Josh already sitting inside.

Josh said to them seriously, “Mr. and Mrs. Davidson, I’m here to deliver a message from Ms. Quinn. Don’t underestimate this case of drug-facilitated rape just because Eric is male. My parents and I support your pursuit of legal action.”

“But what about Eric’s reputation... and your cousin’s? Do we no longer care about them?” Jessica’s face turned pale. In this moment, she felt mentally and physically drained. She felt deeply sorry for Eric, whose future was ruined because of a few words from them.

“Just pass on my message to Eric when he wakes up. Let him make his own decision. And besides, I don’t think this is just a matter of reputation. We now live in a society governed by law, where anyone who commits a crime should face legal consequences. If Lily dares to mistreat someone close to her today, she’ll do it to others tomorrow. It’s only a matter of time before she causes a major disaster, and both our families will suffer the consequences,” said Josh in a serious voice while looking at them.
