Josh felt irritated by Eric’s tone.
“Aren’t we friends? How can you be mad at me when you have no conclusive evidence that it was Kelly
who did it?”
Josh was supportive of Eric pursuing Abigail. However, he was frustrated at Eric because he was accu
sing Kelly without solid proof, all for Abigail’s sake.
Josh was his closest friend, and he hoped that, in addition to Eric’s feelings for Abigail, the man would
also approach this situation rationally, especially since Kelly was Josh’s sister.
Eric’s direct suspicion of Kelly seemed to disregard his feelings as a friend.
In a gold tone, Eric said, “I’ve known you for many years, and I trust you. But I don’t know Kelly, so I ha
ve no reason to believe her. Shouldn’t you consider the time you’ve known her? Just tell me
Thav if she knows your password.”
“How could she possibly know that? Besides, I will find out how my money was transferred to Abigail,” J
osh explained.
“I trust Abigail, and I’ll always stand by her side.” 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.
‘Katie 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, doesn’t Katie have the connections and resources to purchase Tahitian pearls
?‘
‘Katie once released limited edition
jewelry with Tahitian pearls. Who knows how much of what Alana wrote is true? Moreover, ever since
her studio became well–
known, it’s been frequently trending online. How can she prove her innocence?‘
‘Let’s hope the netizens stay rational. Even if Chad appeared overly aggressive in the video, beating s
omeone to the point of severe injury is too much, isn’t it? Are people from Pendorf this fierce? I’m scare
d to visit the studio now in case I say something wrong and get beaten.‘
Clearly, there were sock puppets trying to shape the narrative.
However, Chad’s injuries were real. The question remained–who was responsible for this incident?
Abigail was skeptical of someone, but she couldn’t be sure.
Faced with Katie’s attempt to manipulate the situation, Abigail wasn’t worried. The fact that Chad wasn’
t causing her trouble anymore was a positive development. As for the sock puppets, it wouldn’t affect h
er. After all, she was innocent, and any investigation would only prove her
innocence.
“Will this have any impact on us?” Abigail’s assistant expressed concern, her face filled with worry.
“We didn’t hurt him, so how could it affect us? But judging from the way he speaks, I’m sure he’s bound
to get himself into trouble sooner or later,” Abigail calmly replied before eating her meal again.
Her assistant sighed without another word.
After they finished their meal, the police from Pendorf Police Station replied to Katie’s post.
‘Upon 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. Quinn’s grandmother. He is suspected
of deceiving the elderly lady into befriending him. While deceiving the elderly woman, Mr. Lancome als
o personally visited Ms. Quinn’s home. After being driven away by her, he continued to threaten her wit
hout any remorse. He was seen by a passionate 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. “Chad is insane! How could h
e deceive Old Mrs. Quinn into being friends with him?”
Abigail wiped her mouth with a tissue, pondering whether ‘Mr. Hopkins‘ was actually Cameron Hopkins.
She scrolled through the comments to find that everyone was having a good laugh.
‘I 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 passionate young man,
sounds like a modern–day Spider–
Man. Even though we don’t know what he looks like, he sounds pretty cute.
Mr. Hopkins did a good deed but got fined 300? Being a passionate young man surely isn’t easy! Katie,
please don’t cry foul. Threatening someone by showing up at their home to do business? It’s challengi
ng my worldview. Is this the modern way of conducting business? If they are not stirring issues on soci
al media, they’re showing up at people’s homes in real life. Can’t they engage in a more sophisticated f
orm of business competition?‘ NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
‘Is Katie’s social media filled with sock puppets? The police have confirmed that Katie’s CEO, Chad La
ncome, threatened people, deceived the elderly about pearl purchases, and feigned being a victim. It is
truly mind–
boggling! What kind of CEO is he? Has he lost his mind? He’s the worst. corporate executive of the yea
r. Such outlandish actions can only be carried out by someone foolish.
