Chapter 538 Blood Debt Must Be Repaid
Josh drove them a significant distance before quietly getting out of the car and leaving. Prior to arriving here, he had received a call from Sean, who informed him that Vincent had been spotted in the Golden Triangle.
Josh had always been concerned about Sean, who had narrowly escaped death. Knowing that he was now safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sean knew more than he did. There was no need for much explanation; he understood that Vincent was likely involved in Luna being sent to the Golden Triangle. After all, Sean had previously exposed Vincent’s involvement in human trafficking. Back then, his butler had taken the blame, but now Josh realized that Vincent was far from simple.
He texted Sean, ‘When are you coming to Capitalis?”
Sean replied, ‘Not for now. Vincent is definitely still investigating my situation. As long as I don’t show up, he’ll remain on edge. People tend to make mistakes when they’re anxious. Just keep a close eye on him!
After replying to his message, Josh unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone. To think such a man exists in my family, and we never knew about it. He didn’t take sides with anyone except for morality. What Lily had done today was simply beyond his understanding, and he believed that a child’s misbehavior was a reflection of their parents’ actions. If there was nothing wrong with Vincent, how could Lily dare to do something like this?
Early the next morning. Abigail was busy working in her office when Eric’s parents unexpectedly arrived. As soon as they entered her office, they bowed deeply to her.
Thank you for arriving in time with one of your men last night. I can’t imagine what the consequences. would have been otherwise. Jessica expressed her gratitude to Abigail with teary eyes.

Abigail gestured for them to sit down and poured water for them herself. “Eric called me, but it was too late when I arrived. It took me some time to locate him. She sat down and looked at them with a gentle expression.
“Eric intends to sue Lily, but we hope you can be a witness. As you know, he comes from a special background. If Lily turns the tables and accuses him, people in the industry who dislike him will definitely spread rumors and slander him. In the end, no one will care about the truth anymore. It’ll only result in him being bullied and ruined.” Jessica looked worried while holding her glass of water. She loved her child. deeply, and it was obvious that Eric’s situation had kept her awake all night.
“By the time I arrived, everything had already happened. The hotel’s security footage should have recorded the time of the incident, which can prove that my testimony is useless,” Abigail said with a helpless sigh. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, but she also felt powerless to do anything.
Terry remained silent. In his family, decisions were always made by his wife, while he only listened and followed orders.
“However, I have a suspicion,” Abigail continued, taking a sip of water. “Did Lily act of her own accord, or did her parents play a role in it? I heard that both of you hold significant governmental positions in Capitalis. If this was driven by a major dispute over conflicting interests, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to risk harming your son.” She skillfully planted seeds of doubt. They should be sensitive to such matters, so I don’t have to be explicit. They can connect the dots themselves.
