Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 742

With a smile, Josh nodded. "Alright. You're the boss."

At his age, Josh didn't expect that he would still need comfort from Sean.

When he was about to leave after dropping him off at the airport, Josh ran into Eric, who had just returned from his event.

As it had been a while since Josh last saw Eric, their unexpected encounter made him feel somewhat uneasy.

"You've been quite busy all year round," Josh said with a smile.

Raising his hand, Eric adjusted his mask. "I'll rest at the hotel for a while and prepare dinner. Why don't you come over and join me? It's been ages since we last got together, so I want to chat with you."

"Sure." Considering that he had nothing else to do and his house was empty, Josh didn't feel like going back.

Once they arrived at the hotel, Eric took off his coat, sunglasses, and mask. Then, he walked to the couch and picked up the remote control to close the curtains.

"It's been a while, Josh." Eric's expression turned serious.

"What's wrong?" For some reason, Josh sensed that Eric wanted to tell him something based on his demeanor.

"There's something… I'm not sure if it's just my speculation or if it's true. It's about Luna." Eric raised his head and looked at Josh with a serious expression.

Josh didn't say anything. However, his face turned pale, and his hand by his side couldn't stop trembling.

"I have a cousin who is pretty close to me. Because she used to dislike Abigail, she paid attention to her and Luna. She told me that she seemed to have seen Luna at her house. Doesn't that sound terrifying to you?" Eric stared straight at Josh.

Josh's lips turned pale as well. His voice trembled slightly. "Is it true?"

"I'm not sure… My cousin said she accidentally saw her one night. But Luna clearly…" Eric couldn't continue the rest of his words, for he knew very well the feelings Josh had for Luna.

Even though the news was hidden from the public when Luna died, some prominent families knew about it.

"Which cousin are you talking about?" Josh remained calm.

"My third uncle, Levi Davidson's daughter, Emma Davidson. My uncle has been doing business overseas and rarely comes back. He only returns during New Year's. Back then, my uncle and aunt were busy with work, so Emma stayed with us for a long time. We are close, so I believe her words." Eric deliberately chose to return at such a crucial moment, hoping he could run into Josh and share this information with him.

"Eric… do you know why Luna died?" Josh's voice was bitter and filled with pain.

"Of course!" Eric's voice grew louder a little. "I'm scared now. I fear what Vincent did was the same as what my Uncle Levi did… including the involvement of many other individuals we don't know."

Josh pondered. Actually, Sean and I already know all of this.

Even my seemingly kind and generous Grandmother might also be involved.

Now, I am hesitant to trust anyone solely based on family ties.

I, too, have my own judgment.

Grandma clearly knew Vincent had committed a crime. Yet, why did she still insist that I marry the person who drugged me?

Would she sacrifice my happiness and future if there was no benefit for her?
