At the end of the lunch, the marriage discussion ended fruitlessly, but Bridget did not seem bothered.She wanted Jordan to pay a grand visit to back her up.After lunch, he followed her into her bedroom. He asked, "So, what now? I did everything you asked of me." In a pleading tone, he said, "Don't you think you should keep your word and get the abortion?"She said cunningly, "What's the rush? I gain nothing by getting an abortion right now.""What else do you want?" Simmering in anger, he questioned, "You wanted me to pay a visit to back up you and your mom, and so I did. How are you planning to torture me now?"She handed him a magazine. "Look at this rare pink diamond. There are only two in this world; one was made into a necklace, and the other was made into a bracelet. "Maxwell won the bid for the necklace a few days ago at an auction. I guess it was a gift for Jennifer. I can't lose out to her!"Jordan had never been interested in jewelry, but he admitted that the pink d
Jocelyn was caught off guard for a moment before she answered in disdain, "Her? I'd much rather she go as far away as she can so she won't be an eyesore to me. But no, she didn't go. "However, she's packing up now. I'm sure she wouldn't want to stay here without your father around.""That's great!" Bridget chuckled. "I won't be able to stage my show without her here!"Jocelyn simply stared at her in confusion. "You… What exactly do you have in mind? Bridget, we can't act rashly anymore!"We've already gotten on your father's nerves. Besides, now that you've lost your child, we don't know for sure if you'll be able to marry into the Lance family. We've got to watch our every step now!""Don't you worry, Mom." Bridget huffed with a malicious look in her eyes. "I promise I'll destroy Jennifer thoroughly this time round!"…At the same time, Jennifer was already done packing up her things and was ready to go home. After all, Zion wasn't at home, and she knew that everyone else in
Jennifer's heart sank instantly as she halted her steps. The very next second, she saw Bridget sprawled out on the ground with a puddle of blood under her."Ah! It hurts! My tummy…!" Bridget wailed in agony as she clutched at her stomach.Jocelyn hurried over when she heard the commotion. "Goodness! Bridget! What happened?"When she ran over, Jocelyn shoved Jennifer aside rudely and screamed at her, "You vile wench! What has Bridget ever done to you? Why did you do this to her?"Help! Anyone, help! Quick! Call Glory Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital now!"Jennifer felt like her head was a mess. The puddle of blood on the floor was enough to send her head spinning.A liitle later, she heard the wailing sirens of an ambulance paired with Jocelyn's and Agnes' screaming.But Jennifer wasn't someone who shirked from responsibility. Besides, she'd never expected Bridget to come tumbling down the stairs like that. As such, she bolted out the door and followed behind the ambulance. T
Robert was startled by what he heard, and Jordan stared at Jennifer in disbelief. H-how could that be?Before Robert even started saying anything, Jordan began to defend Jennifer. "Are you sure? Did you see for yourself that Jennifer pushed Bridget? She isn't someone who would do something like that!"Jocelyn then recalled what Bridget told her, so she said, "How would you know what kind of a person Jennifer is? And on what basis are you vouching for her? "Bridget had often seen you and Jennifer behaving intimately with each other, but she chose to not make a big deal out of it. That's only because she didn't want to make things ugly and destroy their sisterly relationship."Are you challenging me to make things between you and Jennifer public? Could it possibly be because you were the one who instigated her to push Bridget? Did the two of you agree on it?"Jordan paled when he heard Jocelyn's words and quickly retaliated, "That's ridiculous! Jennifer's my sister-in-law, and th
Robert gave Jennifer a good look, but he already had an answer. Jennifer was certainly not the kind of person Agnes painted her to be. How could she be when she was still comforting him when she was in such a sticky situation herself?Robert sighed before saying, "Go back with your grandmother."…Bridget was finally pushed out of the operating theater that night. The doctor made it a point to emphasize that she was in a precarious state due to excessive blood loss.Jocelyn then said aggrievedly, "Mr. Lance Senior, as you can see for yourself, Bridget's in bad shape. It's unfortunate that she wasn't able to bear the Lance family a child."Heaving a sigh, Robert said, "She has indeed suffered a lot. The Lance family will not run away from our responsibilities. We shall compensate her whatever is due."Jocelyn's heart sank when she heard that. Judging based on Robert's words, Bridget had no more hope of marrying into the Lance family.Now that Bridget had lost her child, Robert no
"Yeah, something's happened back home. I need to go back immediately."Maxwell's expression was grim. He couldn't be bothered about Rachel's feelings now. Rachel's gaze hardened. She clearly heard Maxwell mention Jennifer's name.Still, she masked her emotions and walked up to him to massage his shoulders. Then, she asked in a whiny tone, "Can I go back with you, then? I don't want to stay here alone."She was worried that once Maxwell went back, he'd be hogged by Jennifer. Besides, she was tired of pretending to be depressed and having sessions with that so-called therapist every day. She was worried that she'd fall into her own web of lies and actually succumb to depression if this went on any longer.But Maxwell said, "You need to stay here. The doctor mentioned that your therapy needs to be consistent and that you cannot break it off. If you return with me, you'll have to start your therapy all over again."However, Rachel was insistent. "I'll be fine as long as you're with
After ending the call with Zion, the female housekeeper asked, "Mrs. Yale Senior, Ms. Jennifer has not eaten or drunk anything for a day. Should we give her some water?"Agnes instructed, "No need! We'll give her food and water when she admits she pushed Bridget down the stairs. Otherwise, continue to starve her. I bet she'll confess by then!"Under Agnes' orders, nobody cared about Jennifer anymore.It was already late at night, which meant it had almost been a day.Jocelyn also returned from the hospital and complained to Agnes about how sad Bridget was. Now that the child was gone, so was the Yale family's prosperity.Agnes gritted her teeth in anger. "What did we do to deserve a bastard like her? Why did we even accept her in the first place? Zion is so unlucky to have met them." Jocelyn felt even more confused after hearing that. It seemed that Agnes was saying that Jennifer was not from the Yale family.After all, if Jennifer was the Yale family's grandchild, Agnes wouldn
Maxwell suppressed his anger and spoke indifferently. "Did you get confirmation? What did Jennifer say?"Agnes continued to tarnish Jennifer. "Naturally, she still refuses to tell the truth. However, she'll admit it sooner or later. Plus, she'll also pay the price for doing something so evil."Maxwell continued to ask, "What are you planning to do?"Agnes replied seriously, "Of course, I'll send her to the police station and let the law punish her! How could Bridget lose her child just like that? All in all, your family also suffered a great loss."When Maxwell saw how stubborn she was, he started to worry about Jennifer.A hint of anger appeared on his face as he asked lowly, "Did you manage to find any evidence?"Agnes' expression turned grim. She lost her confidence as she whispered, "Not yet.""Okay. Since you didn't obtain any evidence, please cooperate and let me bring my wife back home." Maxwell was firm as he said, "If you find any evidence proving that Jennifer pushed B
