The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 601 Thatâs Taking Advantage Abigail thought it was laughable. Even now, theyâre still tripping up the Davidsons? âWhat did the Davidsons say?â
Analise pouted. âThe Davidson couple probably knew Garyâs death had something to do with Vincent, so they ignored him. Said they either set the matter aside or theyâd have a falling out and let Vincent have a taste of the consequences of his actions. The matriarchs are friendly, though.â
Abigail chortled and took a deep breath. âThose old bats better not do anything stupid.â
âThe Pearsons are in turmoil. All the branch families want to reshuffle the share ownership. I suspect Patricia told Vincent to do it.â Analise was worried about Abigail, so she added, âYou might get pushed around if you go back.â
Abigail sneered upon hearing that. âThey canât push me around. Somethingâs off about Garyâs death. Did you keep the box safe?â
âSean is keeping it for you. We havenât checked anything. I bet they wanted to reshuffle the ownership because you took too much, and they got convinced into this.â Analise was angry on Garyâs behalf.
âWhy does Patricia like Vincent so much? She has other kids, so what makes him special?â Abigail couldnât understand why. She hadnât gotten along with her parents before, so she couldnât understand why Patriciaâs bias could be so strong.
âI have no idea, but thatâs what bias is. It canât be explained,â Analise stated. She had seen parents with a bias for a certain child.
They were on a whole spectrum, and Patricia was just a member of that spectrum.
Abigailâs eyes shone coldly. âIâll find out when I get to their residence tomorrow.â She didnât share a deep bond with Gary, but whenever Abigail thought of how he died with his eyes still wide, she felt something crushing her heart.
Sean only came out a while later. âItâs late. You ladies get back and have some rest. Iâll need to help Josh out. Heâs in a tough spot alone.â With that, Sean said goodbye to Abigail and Analise.
Abigail got into the car and waited for Analise to come in. âOnce I go back to the Pearson Residence, you get back to Pendorf, she commented. I canât keep you safe when Iâm there, and I have no idea s going on with them right now. If I canât keep an eye on you, you might get in troubleâ
whatâs âSure Call me if you need anythingâ Analise wanted to stay and support her, but she knew she might be deadwright, so she agreed to the suggestion âSure Abigail nodded The orxiday Lawrence and hariru brought Abigail to the hall where the Parsons hast werup for the people ition lowas the first Lane Alagal saw from boy a large faints, tuneral could be. There are a bi hall ball saw Aigail and he approaches her Abigad was dressed in a black suit with a white flower pinned to her chest. She was not a designer for nothing. Even a regular suit was nice on her. âI heard you sent Analise off to Pendorf last night. Arenât you tired, coming here right after that?â he asked quietly as he huddled closer to Abigail.
âIâm fine,â she stated calmly.
âWhy did you come here?â Patricia snapped, taking advantage of the situation. âYou killed your grandfather!â
She thinks she can keep Vincent safe because she says that, huh? Abigail looked at the elderly woman coldly, and she sneered.
âWhen Grandpa died, he called Vincent a bâstard. Thatâs enough to show whoâs the real killer.â
âShut it! If you didnât visit him all of a sudden, nothing wouldâve happened to him! You left this household, so why did you come back?!â Patricia screeched like a hysterical hag.
âMom!â Lawrence shouted, his voice trembling. âWhat are you saying?â
Patriciaâs eyes were red. âDonât you see? Sheâs a jinx! The familyâs ruined because of her! I should never have let you search for her! Never! Why are you doing this to me? Do you want me dead too?â
Lawrence couldnât say anything back to his mother after that.
Scarlett took a deep breath and held Abigailâs hand. âAre you doing this to cover up for the crimes of your son? If youâre accusing my daughter of murder just to cover your boyâs aâs, then Iâm going against you for my girl. What do you mean she ruined this family? If Vincent and Martha hadnât thrown my girl into the sea, none of this wouldâve happened! The son you spoiled is the one who caused this), shtshow!â
Abigail could see that Patricia was shivering in rage. She gently told Scarlett, âNo one can stop me from coming back if I want to return. Garyâs dying wish was for me to return to the family. I canât say no to that, can I?â
âSheâs right, and I have a marriage to cash in with this familyâs daughter. You owe me my wife, Sean chipped in.
Abigail wanted to stomp his foot. Hey, donât take advantage of the situation, alright?
Sean noticed Abigail glaring at him. He said solemnly. âIâm doing this to make myself your ally How am I supposed to help otherwise?â
Abigail didnât want to banter with him.
