Chapter 300 Bringing an End to Everything
Josh had only started investigating these matters yesterday afternoon. So, how could he possibly. find out anything so soon? Moreover, he had also been suffering significant resistance during his investigation.
“I don’t know,” he answered calmly.
“Alfie Willis. You know the Willis Family in Capitalis, don’t you? He has a very close bond with Sean, and now he’s lying half-dead in the hospital. The Pearsons might face intense scrutiny from Sean until he’s satisfied,” Eric said. His tone finally held some concern for Josh when he mentioned this fact.
“Alfie Willis…” Josh’s eyes darkened.
In the social elite circles of Capitalis, this name had gone from being everyone’s laughingstock to an unspeakable existence. The main reason for that was all because of Sean.
“You know Sean’s temperament. If it weren’t for Alfie’s intervention, it could be Abigail lying in the hospital in critical condition. Both Alfie and she are important to him. Now that they’re both involved in such danger, do you think he will let the Pearsons off easily? If the Pearsons don’t clear things up quickly and provide him with a satisfactory explanation, Sean will never let the Pearsons have a single moment of peace,” Eric said. He was indeed angry at the Pearsons’ actions. Regardless, he genuinely believed that Josh was likely not involved or aware of their actions.
“Eric, the Pearsons will provide an explanation for Abigail,” Josh assured him.
“Josh, I want to ask if the Pearsons are doing all these things behind the scenes because I chose Abigail over the young lady of the Pearsons for marriage. Is that why you’re targeting her?” Eric didn’t want to beat around the bush with Josh.
“These things still lack concrete evidence that the Pearsons are behind them. Your words are quite irresponsible,” Josh responded with a hint of displeasure in his voice.
“I don’t think you and I can find evidence of this,” Eric retorted.
After a moment of contemplation, Josh asked, “So, what do you want to do?”
“The root cause of these events lies in the arranged marriage between the Davidsons and the Pearsons, which I reneged on. I hope you can play along with me. Of course, I don’t want you to tell Kelly about it,” Eric said as he lowered his voice slightly.
Josh didn’t speak but listened quietly to the plan Eric laid out.
After Eric finished speaking, Josh couldn’t help but ask, “Is it really worth doing all this for Abigail? I don’t think this approach is suitable. It might burden her even more.”

“I won’t let her know that I’ve done all this, and I’m hot doing it to make her accept me. I just want to make amends. Moreover, if it weren’t for us recklessly approaching her, she wouldn’t have been. entangled in all this trouble. Since the trouble arose because of us, let’s be the ones to put an end to it.” Eric’s tone became unexpectedly gentle.
“All right,” Josh said softly.
He had always regarded Eric as a brother because he truly was a kind and upright person. Furthermore, what he said was right. Everything that had happened to Abigail was ultimately due to his poor judgment, which got her entangled in the Pearsons’ turmoil.
While Abigail was still impatiently waiting for further information from the Capitalis police, news. about Eric’s engagement to the young lady of the Pearsons was spreading like wildfire on the internet.
