Chapter 607 Cannot Stay


    Maeve hesitated before <b>saying</b>, “It can’t be that serious, can it? Rowan doesn’t like that old hag or Elias. Even if he values Elias more now because of his marriage to the Thornton family’s daughter, Es can’t beat our sons.”


    Sadle said, “Rowan had nned to leave the matters of the <bpany </b>to our sons. But now, he’s starting to hand things over to Elias. Who <b>knows </b>what will happen next? We can’t take that risk. We can’t give Elias too many advantages and too much of a chance to win.”


    Maeve could see that Sadie was ready to go for the kill. She asked uneasily, “What are you nning? Ashley’s awyer, and she knows thew. Besides, she’s the sole heir of the Thornton family.”


    Sadie suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, “Exactly. She has that inheritance, <b>and </b>a lot of people are after it. She’s awyer, not an imprable fortress. Just wait and see how I’ll make Es lose her as an advantage!”


    What wife and concubines? They were nothing more than the legitimate wife and the mistresses.


    From the beginning, <b>Sadie’s </b>goal was to be the true Mrs. Undvike and ensure that her son would inherit the entire Undvike family’s assets. Without that ambition, who would be ying the role of a feudal royal mistress in this era?


    Elias was once deeply disliked by Rowan. However, since he had gotten married to Ashley, Rowan’s attitude toward him had begun to change.


    Ashley had social status, not only because of her reputation <b>in </b>the legal profession but also because the Thornton family had been a <b>prominent </b>legal family for generations.


    The Thornton family had been involved in the legal profession for four generations.


    Ashley’s great–grandfather was one of the firstwyers in Cedonia. He was involved in many important legal matters and negotiations, even helping to draft the first version of the Lawyers‘ Act. The Thornton family was truly a family of generations of prestige and influence.


    Although Ashley’s parents had died when she was very young and although the Thornton family had fallen from grace, their <b>extensive </bwork still remained. Ashley had also made a name for herself and had gradually taken over her family’swork. Besides that, her parents had also left her a substantial inheritance


    These were Ashley’s assets, and when she married Elias, they became his leverage Rowan would certainly take all <b>that </b>into ount when he finally chose a sessor.


    <b>Sadie </b>couldn’t just watch thembine forces.


    Fortunately, the people in the Thornton family also had their eyes on Ashley’s inheritance. Since they each had their own motives, they could coborate.


    A few dayster, Capebatt City entered the month of June and weed summer. The weather became hotter, and the mountain resort hotels became the best ces to escape the heat.


    Sadie was lying <b>on </b><b>a </b>bamboo chair in the hotel’s foot massage room. She was enjoying the services <b>of </b>a deaf masseuse. Next to her was Ashley’s aunt, Gianna Thornton.


    “Are you suggesting that we terminate Ashley’s pregnancy and have her divorce Elias?”


    Gianna’s eyes flickered. This was too bold of a n. “She’s been pregnant for over five months now. It isn’t just a month or two, where just a little push would <b>do</b>. This could easily lead to death.” All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    With her eyes closed, Sadie said slowly, “This will help me, and it will help you too. As long as she’s married to Elias, she’s protected by the Undvike family, and you can’t touch her


    “The child must also be eliminated. Otherwise, even if Ashley were dead, her child would have the first rights to the inheritance. This child carries the blood of the Undvike family. Do you think you <b>can </bpete with the Undvike family for the inheritance?


    “So, it’s best if the child is gone and if Ashley and Elias are divorced. Then, Ashley will be easy for you to deal with, as she’s just a lonely orphan.” Gianna was no fool. “You’re mainly worried that Ashley and Elias might reconcile because of the child and ruin your ns, right?”


    Sadie giggled <b>and </b>looked at Gianna. “But would you say that I’m wrong?”


    Alter a moment of silence<b>, </b>Gianna’s tone became ruthless as she said, “If we’re going to do this, we have to be thorough. The child can’t stay, and neither can Ashley.”


    If Ashley died without having any parents, siblings, husband, or children, her assets would naturally tall to her rtives. That would save nna a lot of
