Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 601

Abigail thought it was laughable. Even now, they're still tripping up the Davidsons? "What did the Davidsons say?"

Analise pouted. "The Davidson couple probably knew Gary's death had something to do with Vincent, so they ignored him. Said they either set the matter aside or they'd have a falling out and let Vincent have a taste of the consequences of his actions. The matriarchs are friendly, though."

Abigail chortled and took a deep breath. "Those old bats better not do anything stupid."

"The Pearsons are in turmoil. All the branch families want to reshuffle the share ownership. I suspect Patricia told Vincent to do it." Analise was worried about Abigail, so she added, "You might get pushed around if you go back."

Abigail sneered upon hearing that. "They can't push me around. Something's off about Gary's death. Did you keep the box safe?"

"Sean is keeping it for you. We haven't checked anything. I bet they wanted to reshuffle the ownership because you took too much, and they got convinced into this." Analise was angry on Gary's behalf.

"Why does Patricia like Vincent so much? She has other kids, so what makes him special?" Abigail couldn't understand why. She hadn't gotten along with her parents before, so she couldn't understand why Patricia's bias could be so strong.

"I have no idea, but that's what bias is. It can't be explained," 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.

Abigail's eyes shone coldly. "I'll find out when I get to their residence tomorrow." She didn't 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. "It's late. You ladies get back and have some rest. I'll need to help Josh out. He's in a tough spot alone." With that, Sean said goodbye to Abigail and Analise.

Abigail got into the car and waited for Analise to come in. "Once I go back to the Pearson Residence, you get back to Pendorf," she commented. "I can't keep you safe when I'm there, and I have no idea what's going on with them right now. If I can't keep an eye on you, you might get in trouble."

"Sure. Call me if you need anything." Analise wanted to stay and support her, but she knew she might be deadweight, so she agreed to the suggestion.

"Sure." Abigail nodded.

…

The next day, Lawrence and Scarlett brought Abigail to the hall where the Pearsons had set up for the wake. There were a lot of people there. It was the first time Abigail saw how big a large family's funeral could be. There are so many people here.

"Why did you come here?" Patricia snapped, taking advantage of the situation. "You killed your grandfather!"

She thinks she can keep Vincent safe because she says that, huh? Abigail looked at the elderly woman coldly, and she sneered. "When Grandpa died, he called Vincent a b*stard. That's enough to show who's the real killer."
