Chapter 411 The Schemer and the Accomplice
Abigail nodded. “Yeah, she’s the Pearson Family’s second daughter-in-law.”
Analise’s expression turned somewhat grave at her reply. “The Pearson Family’s second daughter- in-
law?” she couldn’t help but mutter.
“Martha, the Pearson Family’s second daughter-in-law, is the twin sister of Scarlett, who holds the
position of the family’s first daughter-in-law,” Abigail explained, signaling for Luna to join them. for
breakfast.
Luna sat on the rug, her lips curling into a sneer. “They’re a pair of sc*mbags. Even with a bunch of
helpers, they dare not deal with us directly.”
Abigail patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t mind them.”
Soon, their conversation shifted to the incident earlier that morning when Eni’s backed out of the deal.
Analise walked to the door, her expression filled with concern.
Surprisingly, Howard came after they finished breakfast. Despite looking tired, he appeared rather
happy. “I’ve convinced the shareholders, but I need you all to come to my company for a meeting
immediately,” he said, sitting on the couch with a look of surprise and joy on his face.
“No problem,” Luna agreed immediately.
Howard looked at her. “So, shall we go now?”
“Before we go, I’d like to be honest with you about one thing. You must’ve heard about the recent
incident related to Runway Capitalis, right?” she said with embarrassment.

He nodded. “Yeah, I saw it in the news.”
Runway Capitalis had already been suspended as it was under investigation.
“There are many who benefited from the show, and since L.Moon got into this situation, its financial
backers are now targeting us. Had we not run into difficulties, I wouldn’t have worked with Fairy
Meadow,” Luna explained, handing him a drink.
Howard became uneasy at her words.
“Our collaboration is sort of helping each other out, Abigail chimed in at this moment. “If you trust us, 1
guarantee that your profits will turn positive in the first year after our collaboration”
He adjusted his tic. In that case, please don’t mention this to the shareholders. If you encounter any
difficulties, contact me immediately. We can discuss everything else after our collaboration

agreement is finalized.”
“We won’t let you down,” Abigail reassured him in a confident voice.
Howard nodded.
Soon, the three of them went out together.
Sitting in the restaurant, Martha and Kelly remained silent as they watched the waitress brew
some flower tea.
After the waitress left, Martha finally said, “I don’t think you and Sean will have a future. Why not just
get rid of him directly? If it weren’t for him back in Westcape Village, Abigail wouldn’t have made it to
Capitalis alive.”
“Do you think you can get rid of Sean just like that? That’s underestimating him way too much.” Kelly
couldn’t help feeling that Martha was oversimplifying the situation.
Martha’s eyes gleamed coldly. “I’ve already found Sean’s weakness, but I’m holding off for your sake.
But now that the old lady from the Quinn Family has come to Capitalis, I can’t wait any longer. I’ll give
you two choices: one, find a way to kill that old lady; two, give up on Sean.”
Undoubtedly, Kelly was resolute in her pursuit of Sean. Her recent efforts in diligently attending to
Colby’s needs and striving to impress Lina were all part of her strategy to leave a lasting impact on
Sean. Moreover, having orchestrated a significant misunderstanding between the Quinns and the
Grahams, she couldn’t simply abandon her pursuit of him. Pouring herself a cup of flower tea, she
confidently stated, “I’ll find a way to handle Old Mrs. Quinn. Have you ever considered why Eric hasn’t
yet chosen a life partner?”
Martha didn’t respond to Kelly’s question. Her concern about Analise’s presence weighed heavily. on
her mind. When Analise initially arrived at Capitalis, Martha suspected she intended to seek out
Lawrence, possibly to disclose that Abigail is the true daughter of the Pearson Family. Martha
pondered how Analise had acquired this knowledge. Could it be that she had witnessed something
herself during her first visit? As Martha gathered her thoughts, her gaze narrowed, and she uttered with
a resolute tone, “Old Mrs. Quinn must be eliminated. Do you understand?”
Kelly nodded. “How can she not die when she’s in our territory? Did you listen to what I said about
Eric?”
“I need to discover who Abigail’s ex-husband was,” Martha said with a determined tone, her lips
forming a subtle but calculated smile. Despite her stunning beauty and elegant charm, an underlying
cold and distant aura accompanied her smile. “Imagine if we could orchestrate a situation where her

ex-husband creates a scene in front of the Davidsons. Do you think that might influence the Davidsons’
acceptance of her?

“Why bother investigating? Just get the most shameless and morally bankrupt person to make a scene,
Kelly replied with a faint smile. “Let me tell you, you rich people don’t understand what a desperate
scoundrel pushed to the brink can do. They’re like leeches-they won’t stop until they’ve sucked the last
drop of blood from their victim. As it happens, Eric is away on a business trip these days. You can act
as you wish.”
Martha looked at her appreciatively. “If you were my daughter, I wouldn’t have needed to worry
so much.”
Kelly sneered inwardly, fully aware of the judgmental gaze from individuals like Martha. Deep within,
Kelly harbored a belief that it was hypocritical for them to discuss emotions while simultaneously
engaging in a relationship built on mutual exploitation.
“Never did I anticipate that the past would continue to disrupt my peaceful dreams even after two
decades,” Martha lamented slowly, her voice tinged with a haunting sorrow. “Regret weighs. heavily on
me for not being present when she drew her last breath. That period haunted my nights for a whole
year after that.”
Kelly took a bite of her dessert. “Taking your time to get rid of her isn’t a bad idea. How often do things
go exactly as you wish?”
Martha smirked. She replied in a cold voice, “That friend of Abigail is called Luna Smith, right? She was
cocky today. Let’s start with her. She’s quite attractive and has a fiery personality. I reckon. many
people would like her.”
