Chapter 1617


    Alison hesitated for a moment before finally inching her way over.


    As she reached Pauline, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. “Your dad, Curtis is having an affair.


    And that woman is pregnant, with a boy


    Alson shivered at the news.


    “You need to help me, which is also helping yourself!” Pauline continued, gripping Alison’s hand so


    tightly that she thought her bones might break. “You need to tail Curtis, find that woman, and make her


    take a tumble down the stairs, If the boy’s out of the picture, Curtis wille back to us!”


    Morgan was taken aback, so was Alison.


    Pauline, Alison is just a child, how could you ask her to


    “Yes, she’s just a kid, who doesn’t have to face criminal charges. So what if she does it? The important


    thing is to bring Curtis back to us! Pauline shot Morgan a deadly re. “Alison, don’t listen to their


    bullshit. Nothing is more important than us being together as a family. Trust me, it’s just this one

    time!


    “Mom!” Alison burst into tears, Dad doesn’t love you anymore!


    The revtion hit Pauline like a ton of bricks.


    “You should get a divorce, you can find someone who loves you and live your life. You don’t need to


    stay here anymore, people in the family are bullying you, Dad doesn’t love you.”


    Before Alison could finish, Pauline’s palmnded hard on her face. She grabbed Alison by the cor,


    lifted her up and pinned her down on the bed, hands clenching around her neck.


    “Why are they bullying me? Because of you!! Pauline shouted at the top of her lungs.


    Morgan rushed over, trying to pull Pauline off


    But Pauline was surprisingly strong, he couldn’t pull her off


    “So you knew all along about Curtis‘ affair? Yes! It must be, you’re here just to rub salt into my wounds


    Pauline screamed, almost hoarse. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this mess!”


    At this moment, doctors and nurses burst into the room


    With added help, Morgan seized the chance to pull Alison away


    “Let me go, let me go! I’m not sick! They’re just ndering me because they’ve been bribed” Pauline


    struggled madly and screamed.


    After being injected with a sedative, she finally calmed down, but her gaze never left Alison.


    Alison seemed to be in shock


    Seeing Pauline finally quiet down, Alison snapped back to reality, recalling the suffocating encounter


    and the almost broken neck


    Unable to hold back, Alison burst into tears..


    Herst glimmer of hope for Pauline waspletely shattered at the brink of life and death.


    From now on, she was truly an orphan,


    Morgan carried Alison out of the room.


    He carefully checked Alison’s neck. It was so fragile that it seemed like it could snap at any hard


    squeeze.


    “Pauline is really ruthless! Morgan was furious


    Alison couldn’t stop crying as she choked out, “No…”


    “You’re not still defending Pauline, are you?” Morgan asked sternly


    “No… she’s not my mom anymore!” Alison sobbed harder after saying this.


    Morgan sat there and let out a deep sigh,


    He wanted to console her, but how?


    Should he tell Alison that Pauline might have mental issues, which is why she treated her so?


    Interactions with Pauline over the past few days made it clear to Morgan that Pauline was not just


    crazy, she truly hated her daughter.


    Even if Pauline didn’t have mental issues, she would still see Alison as a burden, ming her for all the


    misfortunes.


    In the end, Morgan decided against consoling Alison


    “Don’t worry, my boss is willing to help you, and even if you can’t get this house, you’ll have a good


    life.” Morgan patted Alison’s shoulder, “Let’s go, there’s a car waiting for you outside”
