Chapter 498


    When Carol set her eyes onn, they just about popped out of her head. Then, spotting Carlene next to


    him, her smile dropped a notch.


    Carlene was no stranger to Carol, after all, the Millers, running a diamond business, were legit blue


    blood.


    “Ms. Miller”


    Carlene greeted her politely. Carol yed deaf and turned her attention ton


    A sense of relief washed over Carlene. She nodded at Carol, then hurried to catch up withn


    Carol snapped a picture of their retreating figures. The sh was still on, and at the moment she


    pressed the shutter, the whole space seemed to light up.

    “Delete that


    Carol’s heart pounded. She straightened her neck and said, “No way, I’m sending this to Maja, your


    wife”


    At the mention of his wife’s name,n’s brow furrowed, and he finally looked Carol in the eye.


    “Do you know Maja?”


    “Of course, we’re good friends.”


    tan let out a chuckle. “Seems like Ms. Miller didn’t teach you well.”


    Carol’s face stiffened. “What do you mean?”


    Carlene chimed in, “Whatn means is that being friends with someone like her is beneath you”


    Carol was instantly pissed off.


    These two were thick as thieves!


    Carlene deliberatelygged behind, turning to Carol


    She intentionally caressed her stomach.


    “Still, I hope you won’t tell your friend about this. I’m not sure what to do yet.”


    With Carlene’s vague words, touching her belly, anding to the hospitalte at night withn, Carol


    quickly caught on.


    She stared disbelievingly at Carlene’s stomach


    Was Carlene pregnant?


    Carlene gave a small smirk, not giving Carol a chance to ask, and walked away.


    Carol stood there, fuming. After some thought, she decided to call Maja night away


    It was ten o’clock at night. Maja was already asleep, but she picked up the call in a daze


    “Carol.”


    “Maja, oh my god, how can you sleep? That witch, Carlene, is pregnant withn’s baby They’re at the


    hospital getting a check–up!”


    Maja jolted awake, her sleepiness instantly gone. She was wide awake now.


    Carol was still ranting on the other end.


    “That jerk, he’s only good–looking. I can’t believe I had such poor judgment. He’s ditching a beautiful


    woman like you and getting that hypocritical woman pregnant!” Maja suddenly found it hard to breathe.


    Her body started to ache.


    It was notn she cared about, but the baby that was forcefully aborted.


    Maja felt like her heart was on fire. Her hand clutched the bedsheet tightly.


    What humiliated her the most was that she never really felt the presence of that baby.


    She had looked up information about painless abortions. Medical technology these days was indeed


    advanced. An operation could bepleted in just ten minutes, and the patient could leave the


    hospital right after


    It was so fast that she didn’t even realize the existence of her baby.


    Except for that pregnancy test stick showing two lines.


    Maja suddenly felt like throwing up. The anger and nausea mixed together, making her unable to catch


    her breath.


    She rushed to the sink and started retching,


    Heaning Moja’s vomiting on the phone, Carol became alert. “Are you sick? I’m sorry: I shouldn’t have


    told you this news!


    Maja turned on the faucet and rinsed her mouth with clean water, tears in her eyes.


    “I’m fine, just a stomach upset”


    Carol sounded worried. Tlle see you. I’m at the hospital right now, I can bring some stomach


    medicine.”


    Maja looked at herself in the mirror–a miserable sight.


    She had lost a lot of weight, her eyes were helpless. Her eyes were a little red from just throwing up.


    “Carol, I’m okay. I’m at Rosewood Manor, Ms. Maria will take care of me. I just feel nauseous.”


    As she said that, Maja paused and said, “I’m just nauseous.”


    Carol was heartbroken. She didn’t understand why fate was always so unfair to Maja.


    Maja lost her mother, Lillian, at a young age. She had to follow her father, Neil Pennyfeather, around


    for business. She worked hard in her studies and marriedn for thepany, only to find out she was


    not Neil’s biological daughter. Now she was burdened with the responsibilities of the Pennyfeather


    Group.


    Carol suddenly got angry and said, “It’s just a guy. Like the Shawn Walsh I introduced you to. If you


    regret it, Til have him over in no time”


    Shawn was the spokesperson for the Miller familypany. Before he became the spokesperson, the


    Miller family checked his background. He was clean.


    “Maja, I only introduce you to reliable people. Shawn is very disciplined, handsome, and has an eight


    pack. If he can make you happy, I’ll have the Miller family fully support him. You’ll be his sugar mommy


    Shawn Walsh is a good guy, and he’s not in a good situation right now, given hisck of background.”


    He’s easy to control, too.
