CHAPTER 822 SHE HAS SOMEONE TO BACK HER UP

Sean approached her and gently patted her shoulder.

Abigail met his gaze and immediately grasped his unspoken message.

The issue that the Walkers should have handled was not their concern, but Sean's subtle intervention could prevent potential trouble for Irene.

Kevin escorted Irene to the station and did not return to the club.

After spending some time with Abigail, Sean took Josh home.

"Hey, how did the gathering end up like this..." Josh expressed some regret. He had hoped for a more relaxed atmosphere, but everyone had eaten little and decided to head home.

"We'll have another opportunity to gather in the future," Sean reassured him with a pat on the shoulder.

After staying at the Grahams' residence for three days, Eric's situation in New York became a trending topic online for three consecutive days. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Eric's exit from the entertainment circle was very decisive. At the time, it was said that he had suffered serious facial injuries, and he never appeared in the entertainment circle again. His fans were heartbroken, and now, upon hearing about his disappearance in New York, they were all in an uproar, demanding answers from the Davidson Family.

After all, his team was operated by family members behind the scenes.

Abigail and Sean returned to Capitalis to find Maisy and Terry from the Davidson Family waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Abigail, Terry remained silent while Maisy coldly remarked, "It was Eric who first discovered your true identity. And now, you join forces with Sean against the Davidson Family?"

Abigail raised a hand to touch her nose and replied, "You're assuming I know the situation. How could I be working against your family?"

Sean sat on the couch with his legs crossed while being engrossed in his phone and seemingly detached from the Pearsons' predicament.

Maisy smirked faintly and said, "Eric has supported you, hasn't he? Did you leak the news of his disappearance in New Yoke?"

"You need evidence for such accusations. We have no ill will towards the Davidson Family, so why would we spread such news and subject you to public scrutiny?" Abigail sat next to Sean and calmly defended.

Maisy nudged Terry beside her, prompting him to speak up reluctantly, "We discovered that Graham International was behind the leak. Eric is safe overseas, so why would you intentionally cause this uproar?"

Sean cleared his throat and remarked, "If he's truly safe overseas, then let him come out and release a video himself. Wouldn't that solve everything?"

Terry glanced at Maisy for support.

"He has retired from the industry, so why should he be dragged back into this mess?" Maisy retorted, her expression stern and displeased.

Sean raised an eyebrow with amusement in his eyes. "If he's truly disconnected from this industry, why bother about the fans? Just ignore them."

Moisey was infuriated by his clever argument.

Abigail nonchalantly added, "If it's not okay, then let him issue a statement himself. What's the big deal? Why does he have to come to us for an explanation? Besides, even if you found out it was sent by Graham International, was it really from them?"

Sean continued to tap on his phone screen while maintaining his silence.

Seeing the lack of response, Maisy stood up with a stern expression and directed a glance at Lawrence. "The younger generation should be taught proper manners. If not for this daughter, the relationship between our families wouldn't have deteriorated to this extent."

"The matters concerning the Pearsons don't require any concern from the Davidson Family. As for relationships, Abby has a good relationship with Eric, and Josh has always been close friends with Eric. The reason behind it all is simply that some elders in the Davidson Family lack understanding," Lawrence said calmly.

Sensing Maisy's rising anger, Terry quickly intervened. "You should step out first. I'll handle this conversation."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have allowed Eric to assist in her return. What a disaster!" Maisy exclaimed in frustration.

Scarlett's complexion paled as she halted Maisy. "Maisy, please refrain from making inappropriate comments. Whether the Pearsons' children are troublesome or not is up to us to determine. If you continue to speak irresponsibly here, are you not afraid of me confronting you?"

Abigail gazed at Scarlett in astonishment.

Apart from Analise, Scarlett was the second person to defend her.

Maisy was taken aback, then grew indignant. "You are being outrageous!"

"You come to the Pearsons and label my children as troublesome. I believe it is you who lacks respect for the elderly. Who do you think you are to interfere in my children's affairs from the Pearsons?" Scarlett clenched her teeth, her eyes brimming with animosity.

She had promised Analise that she would always support Abigail, no matter what.

Abigail had faced numerous hardships in her early years without the support of her parents. However, now that she was part of the Pearsons, even if she managed to upset the entire elite circle of Capitalis, Scarlett wouldn't allow Abigail to suffer any consequences.

Maisy glared at Scarlett with fury in her eyes.

The two women stood silently for a moment, and then Maisy sneered, waved her hand dismissively, and walked away.

Scarlett eased up slightly but glared at Maisy's retreating figure.

Abigail approached her and took her hand. "It's alright. I'm not bothered."

"But I am." Scarlett turned around and embraced her tightly. "With me by your side, no one will dare to mistreat you!"

Abigail nodded, feeling a sense of warmth in her heart.

Terry waited for Maisy to depart before furrowing his brow and inquiring, "How did you find out that Eric was in New Yoke?"

"Don't you already know?" Sean replied.
