The Spare Wife

Chapter 283 A Complete Victory
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 accusing 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 have 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,” Josh 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 published a post on
Instagram.
There was no caption, but she tagged the official account of Pendorf Police Station and attached photos 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 someone to the point of
severe injury is too much, isn’t it? Are people from Pendorf this fierce? I’m scared 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 her. 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 and intimidated one of the
responsible individuals from L.Moon, Abigail Quinn. After a failed attempt to force 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 also personally visited Ms. Quinn’s home. After being driven away by her, he continued to threaten
her without 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 behalf of women, Mr. Hopkins took the matter into
his own hands and gave Mr. Lancome a beating during the night. Our department has strongly reprimanded Mr. Hopkins, who

has caused harm. We have also imposed a fine of 300. We hope that all members of the public will exercise caution in their
words and actions 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 screen.
On the other hand, Luna burst into laughter while clutching her stomach. “Chad is insane! How could he 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 abnormal. 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 challenging my worldview. Is this the modern way of
conducting business? If they are not stirring issues on social media, they’re showing up at people’s homes in real life. Can’t they
engage in a more sophisticated form of business competition?‘
‘Is Katie’s social media filled with sock puppets? The police have confirmed that Katie’s CEO, Chad Lancome, 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 year. Such outlandish actions can only be carried out by
someone foolish.
