The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 299 The First One to Stand Up for Her

Luna exploded when she saw the nonsense the netizens were spouting.

She licked her lips and hissed with anger, “They don’t know anything. So, how dare they assume things

about you?”

Abigail looked at the increasingly uncontrollable comments and said seriously, “These comments are

likely from internet trolls with the aim of provoking irrational reactions from some people so that they will

dig up my personal information and tarnish my reputation.”

This incident was a silent standoff between the Pearsons and her.

The Pearsons wouldn’t wait for the official report. Instead, they would use the internet to stir things up

and create more trouble for her.

Luna looked at her with concern.

“We need to investigate if what the assailant said is true,” Abigail said calmly.

“All right. I’ll immediately have someone help you with this!” Luna quickly got up to contact her friends.

Nevertheless, before Luna’s people could look into the matter, Eric had taken the initiative to defend

her. He even went as far as to tag the entertainment news outlet.

He wrote to Capitalis Entertainment, And here I thought an account with a blue tick and millions. of

followers on Instagram would do some investigation before posting an article. An innocent victim was in

surgery for four hours and was barely saved from the clutches of death. The police haven’t even

released an official statement regarding the incident. Yet, here you are, posting that the assailant was

diagnosed with a mental illness, and the blame is to be placed on one of the victims a young woman?

Have I lost my marbles, or have you? Is this what the world has come to? The fact that the assailant

has a mental illness and was previously hurt might be a reason behind his actions. However, does it

justify attempted murder? It’s the victims who had no knowledge of the situation. Yet, now they have to

endure online rumors all because of your irresponsibility. Why isn’t anyone speaking up about this?”

After Eric’s Instagram post, many celebrities and accounts with blue ticks reposted it.

Just because someone looks similar, they’re at risk of being smeared by internet rumors and enduring

a second round of harm. God, I truly hope that none of you out there has any doppelgangers going

around torturing someone. Aren’t the police going to do something about. Capitalis Entertainment?

What nonsense is this? A lunatic commits murder, and they blame it on someone who looks similar to

the attacker’s tormentor? So, are you actually saying that anyone who resembles someone else should

go for plastic surgery to avoid being mistaken for a murderer? Are you seriously trying to say that

someone should be blamed for looking like someone the killer knows if they refuse to change their

features? This is ridiculous!”

1/3

Tdidn’t know that victims would be at fault for resembling someone the attacker knows. The victim is

already unfortunate enough to have been seen by the murderer. Yet, they’re supposed to suffer this

outrageous smear campaign started by some unscrupulous internet users spreading rumors after that

incident? Are you kidding me? The victim almost lost his life. Yet, what are you doing? You netizens

and this absolute trash of an entertainment news outlet are taking the side of the murderer! What are

all of you on? Since I’m already at it, I think the police should investigate these commentators to see if

there are potential murderers hiding among them!”

Due to Eric’s condemnation, the news from Capitalis Entertainment went viral.

However, Capitalis Entertainment deleted the Instagram post within half an hour.

Although some netizens continued to protest, the Capitalis police finally released an official

statement.

The murderer has been diagnosed with an inherited mental illness, and his experiences match those

mentioned by Capitalis Entertainment. However, his mental illness was not solely caused by his ex-

wife’s control and torment but due to his long history of gambling and alcohol abuse, which made him

extremely unstable. The assault with a knife was not due to the young woman’s resemblance to his ex-

wife but was the result of manipulation. The case is under further investigation, and we hope that

netizens will use the internet rationally and not add to the secondary harm to the victims.

The handling of this case was relatively fast.

Abigail’s information was not exposed, and the Instagram account of Capitalis Entertainment was

banned.

If Eric hadn’t spoken out promptly; the public sentiment would likely have been unfavorable to

her.

Abigail sent a message to Eric, Thank you for your prompt action. In the future, if there’s anything you

need help with, L.Moon will definitely lend a hand.’”

“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do. You never blamed me, even after I caused you so much trouble

last time. This time, I have to help you no matter what.”

Abigail looked at the message and let out a sigh.

‘In any case, thank you. Let’s leave the past behind us.”

Her relationship with Sean and Eric seemed less strained than before after this incident.

Eric knew that Abigail had genuinely forgiven him after reading the message.

He felt his eyes welling up with tears, and his eyes had a shiny quality to them as he held his

2/3

phone.

In these past weeks, Abigail had not paid even a sliver of attention to him. As a result, he had gone

through a particularly tough time. Whenever his mind wandered to how he had caused her so much

trouble and that her relatives were criticizing her, he felt extremely guilty.

Alas, he didn’t dare say anything at this moment.

He couldn’t rush matters now because she had developed some goodwill for him.

On the other hand, Sean was also quietly assisting her from the shadows, which gave him the

opportunity to work with her.

In his opinion, the best way to get closer to her was to prepare for the unexpected.

Eric called Josh after he got his emotions under control.

Josh hadn’t slept well the previous night due to the harsh accusations Abigail had hurled at him.

He had thought that his connection with her was over. So, he no longer held her in the same carefully

guarded place in his heart as before.

Yet, the moment he picked up the call and heard her voice, he realized that his protective and caring

feelings for her had never really changed.

Her anger and suffering because of the unfair treatment had also made him feel uneasy.

After Josh pressed the answer button, his tone was as calm as usual. “What’s the matter?”

“Do you know who the person who got stabbed is this time?” Eric’s tone sounded less amicable than

before.
