The Spare Wife

Chapter 564

Chapter 564 She Should Be The One Who Is Ruthless

Abigail found herself thrown into the sea by Vincent and his wife, while Patricia tried to downplay the incident. She believed that since Abigail had survived, the matter could be easily resolved.

Josh fell silent for a moment before speaking, “Once we figure out what Uncle Vincent is up to, we’ll cut ties with them. Grandma can live with him.”

“Do you really think Vincent will escape the law once everything is revealed?” Lawrence asked coldly. He didn’t know if Vincent’s actions were illegal, but he feared that the crimes were severe enough to bring misfortune to the entire l’earson Family.

After visiting the Pearsons at the hospital, Abigail and Sean went to L.Moon. As they left, Sean asked Abigail, “Did you tell Grandma how you plan to handle things with the Pearsons?”

“What do you want me to say?” Abigail’s expression soured. “I don’t care how you arranged things with them, but don’t try to act as a mediator. Otherwise, you can leave.”

Sean calmly sat on the couch and looked at her. After a while, he said, “I’m not trying to be a mediator. However, as an outsider, I have a different perspective on the matter. I believe there must be a better way to settle things with your family.”

Abigail leaned back in her chair and gave him a cold stare.

Sean continued, “If it were someone else, I wouldn’t waste my breath on the matters between you and them.”

“What are you trying to say?” Abigail demanded, annoyed.

“Are you still holding a grudge against them because of Kelly?” Sean looked into her eyes and asked. Abigail furrowed her brow and replied in irritation. “Stop beating around the bush!”

“Abigail, can we please have a calm discussion?” Sean displayed unusual patience today.

“No,” Abigail responded without hesitation, “Do you want to use this to make me forgive the Pearson Family and return to them?”

“I just think that, fundamentally, your parents were also victims. This was a scheme that your uncle had planned for over 20 years. Even I might have fallen for it if I were in their shoes,” Sean explained to Abigail.

Unfortunately, Abigail wasn’t convinced. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, “If you’re not busy, you should return to Pendorf. I don’t need a mediator.”

Sean leaned back on the couch and sighed. “Every time we discuss this, you get angry. You don’t even listen to what I have to say.”

“Shouldn’t I be angry? How can you say that everything has happened because of a mere misunderstanding? If only life were that easy! Can the Pearson Family erase all the things they’ve done to L.Moon with a simple apology?” Abigail angrily questioned him. “They can’t even follow basic moral. principles! What’s the point of regret when they’ve already committed the deed? Regret is the most useless and worthless thing in my eyes.”

Her words indicated that she also held Sean responsible for this mess.

Do you want them to apologize to you?” Sean calmly asked. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Abigail frowned and replied, utterly vexed, “There’s no need for that.”

He nodded silently, choosing not to press the matter further. Abigail’s resistance to the Pearson Family was unprecedented. However, he understood that the Pearson Family’s previous actions were far from honorable.

In the afternoon, Lawrence drove over to pick up Abigail and Analise for a meal.

“Mr. Pearson, we’re not that familiar with each other. So, there’s no need for me to have a meal in your home, is there?” Abigail’s attitude was even colder than it had been at the hospital.

“Abigail, what’s wrong with you?” Analise gently tugged at her. She felt that even if Abigail didn’t fully accept them, she shouldn’t show them such hostility. Since their misunderstandings had been resolved, they should at least try to move forward.

“Grandma, I’m just stating facts.” Abigail’s tone softened when speaking to Analise. She adjusted her clothes and said, “I have an important dinner tonight, so I won’t be able to make it.” Then, she turned and left.

Analise immediately held her back. “They’re already here. What’s with your attitude?”

Abigail pursed her lips and looked at Lawrence, who appeared disappointed and lost. “I’m sorry. Next time, if you want to invite me for dinner, please let me know in advance.” With that, she left without looking back.

Lawrence stood still for a long time before finally shifting his gaze away.

Analise also felt a bit embarrassed. “She might not be able to accept you guys right away. Let’s take things. one step at a time.”

“Can you accept me and my wife?” he asked with a bitter smile.

She sighed before gently replying, “I saw your sincerity when I was in the hospital. Besides, the incident all those years ago wasn’t entirely your fault. There’s no reason for me not to forgive you.” Since she had chosen to reveal the truth, she was prepared for Abigail to return to the Pearson Family. Plus, she was satisfied with Lawrence and Scarlett’s attitude at the hospital.

“As long as you accept me, it’s fine. Our daughter has her grievances, and I understand that.” Lawrence paused for a moment to collect his thoughts. “Scarlett and I will continue to make an effort.” Even though. they didn’t know what direction their efforts would take, he believed they would find a way one day.

“Abigail has always been a stubborn girl, so she rarely expresses what’s on her mind. As her parents, you guys need to try to understand her,” Analise comforted Lawrence.

Sean drove Lawrence and called Abigail three times before she finally answered her phone.

“What?” Abigail snapped, utterly vexed.

“Where are you?” Sean asked.

“It’s none of your business,” Abigail replied before hanging up the call.
