Chapter 362 Did Nothing Wrong to Them
“Josh informed me about what you’ve been through, so I’ve brought a few people over with me.” Eric’s
voice was filled with rea*surance when he spoke.
“It’s not necessary. Sean didn’t pursue it, and I can handle the rest on my own.” Abigail politely
declined the offer.
Eric’s voice sounded bitter as he insisted, “You don’t always have to refuse help. If you believe
someone did this, I trust you, and I’ll help you investigate.”
“Aren’t you engaged to the Pearsons? Our previous rumors”
“That’s false news. I won’t be marrying into the Pearsons, and there won’t be any more rumors.” Eric’snovelbin
tone was resolute.
Abigail remained silent for a moment before she said, “Kelly did it, but I can’t find any evidence.”
It seems that Kelly came to Pendorf with the intention of damaging the relationship between the
Grahams and the Quinns, but why is she going to such great lengths to pick on you?” Instead of
dismissing Abigail’s words, Eric continued along with her train of thought.
Kelly claimed to like Sean, giving her a motive to target Abigail.
However, Abigail wasn’t sure if Kelly’s professed affection for Sean was genuine or a part of her ulterior
motives.
Perhaps, Kelly intentionally told her about her feelings for Sean as part of a broader plan.
“I don’t know, but for now, our family and the Grahams have severed all ties,” Abigail stated.
Regardless of Kelly’s plans, with her cunning nature, every move and statement she made compelled
Abigail to exercise caution.
“Is it the result of Kelly’s efforts?” Eric’s voice turned colder.
“More or less. Your presence won’t be of much use, though. I’ve tried everything I can think of. and it
didn’t work.” Abigail’s voice carried a sense of resignation.
“Josh told me about your phone. I suspect a hacker planted a virus on it. After all, smartphones
nowadays are really getting smarter. It’s connected to your laptop, electrical appliances, and event your
camera. When one area is compromised, it will infect everything else, including your phone, Eric
explained softly.
Abigail felt as if he had reminded her of something important and came to a realization.
Her phone, computer, and tablet shared the same system, and even the front-door camera was

also connected to these three devices.
She had been pondering which device might be compromised but hadn’t considered the camera at her
front door.
“But I had someone check my phone, and there was no issue.” Abigail sighed.
“Some viruses self-destruct after completing their mission. Only highly skilled hackers can trace their
tracks.” Eric tried to comfort Abigail.
Hearing his words, Abigail felt that catching Kelly red-handed was a nearly impossible task.
“Regardless, it’s enough that you’ve proven your innocence to them. You don’t need to worry about the
rest. Time will gradually validate your efforts.” Eric’s voice sounded even gentler now.
Abigail’s eyes reddened when she heard his comforting words.
“Thank you,” she murmured softly.
“It’s nothing. Friends should help each other,” Eric replied tenderly.
After hanging up the phone, Abigail couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
Since the incident with Colby, no one cared about what she had gone through. They were merely
concerned that Colby had an accident, that she didn’t rush to save him, and that she hadn’t gone to the
hospital. While Sean didn’t vo10
it out, his actions indicated that he held her responsible.
No one knew how hard she had tried, but she still received blame from everyone.
Eric was the only one who told her that she had done nothing wrong to the Grahams.
The next day, Eric’s friend examined all the devices Abigail had used and finally came up with a result-
her phone was indeed infected with a virus.
“The virus entered when Old Mrs. Quinn went to deliver a package and scanned the courier. station’s
QR code for payment.”
Abigail was quite surprised by how the virus had entered.
“Then, when you connected to your home Wi-Fi, the virus was planted on your phone through the Wi-Fi
connection. This is why your phone was controlled by hackers during your idle time,” Eric continued,
conveying his friend’s explanation.
Abigail drove with narrowed eyes and focused on the road ahead without saying a word.
“But the virus has been destroyed on your phone, so there’s no way to prove its existence,” Eric

explained while holding the phone. “My friend said he would check the courier station near your
house.”
“Okay,” Abigail replied.
When they arrived at the hotel, Abigail parked the car in the parking lot. As they got out of the car, they
were surprised to see Sean and Kelly getting out of another car.
Kelly noticed Abigail and Eric together and waved her hand at them. “Eric, what brings you here?”
Eric’s expression was cold and distant as he nodded. “You said you came here to apologize to Abigail,
but you’ve been sticking to Mr. Graham every day. That’s surprising.”
Kelly hadn’t expected him to confront her all of a sudden and was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Let’s go,” Abigail quietly urged.
Eric smiled at Abigail and then turned around to walk toward the exit with her.
Sean’s gaze somehow swept across Abigail, but to his surprise, she didn’t even spare him a glance.
The frustration within him brewed in an instant.
He clenched his hands into fists and then let go, while his gaze turned colder as he watched them.

Cameron quietly observed Sean, and by the look on his boss’ face, he knew that he still couldn’t. let go
of Abigail. Back then, even Xavien had smoothed things over for him, fearing that he might get too
worked up and cause an irreparable rift with Abigail.
But now, Sean was jealous after watching Abigail together with Eric.
Meanwhile, Sean noticed Cameron staring at him and turned to him. “What are you thinking?”
