Chapter 2203


    Ste whispered, "I was worried you''re still upset with me."


    Handing Trevor the breakfast, she asked, "Where’s Dad?" "Dad went to rest. He left around four. He


    should be here soon." "You''ve been here all night?"


    Trevor opened the bag, taking a bite, "Gotta keep up appearances."


    With over twenty years of being family, being too nonchnt could easily raise Darcie''s suspicions.


    Ste nced at the dark circles under his eyes, feeling a pang of sympathy, ''There''s a restaurant


    downstairs, grab a seat there and eat. I''ll get you a bowl of soup."


    Trevor waved it off. "I drank enough waterst night."


    Ste was speechless.


    That sarcastic streak seemed to be a family trait.


    Seeing it in Trevor made Ste realize how stubborn she used to be.


    She couldn''t help butugh, "Trevor, did you scare off all your ex-girlfriends with that sarcasm?"


    Trevor nodded. "Yep, those with thick skins like Keegan are rare."


    Ste was rendered speechless once more.


    In the end, Trevor did join Ste at the restaurant.


    ording to him, Jaylene was badly injured this time, scratches all over her neck and arms, and a


    bruise on her forehead.


    Getting her to the hospital took some time, and now that she had just regained consciousness, she was


    very weak.


    The police have taken statements, but Jaylene didn''t use Dahlia of fraud; she focused on using


    Kanrara and ke. She was not going to let them off.


    Ste quickly deduced Jaylene''s reasoning; she didn''t dare use Dahlia for fear she might seed,


    which wouldn''t bode well with Keegan.


    When Ste avoided Dahlia and indirectly led her to thepany, she had thoughts of using her as a


    scapegoat. Although she thought it might not work, she didn''t expect it to fail so spectacrly.

    "Darcie isn''t pursuing it? Jaylene looks terrible, yet she''s not angry?"


    Trevor finished his porridge and looked up. "Angry? Why wouldn''t she be? But in this world, when it


    comes to parents who care about their children, who can resist them? Darcie''s no exception, and fraud


    requires evidence; Dahlia''s at most borrowing money and not returning it."


    Ste stirred the porridge for a moment, then said, "She''s getting off easy."


    Trevor raised his gaze. "We could sue her for poisoning."


    Setting down the spoon, Ste replied, "Trevor, after I divorced Keegan, I consulted awyer. Dahlia''s


    prescription did contain some abortifacient drugs, but overall, it was a tonic. There''s no evidence to


    prove that taking this prescription would lead to infertility. Traditional Chinese medicine is different from


    Western medicine; its toxic effects aren''t easily detectable. Unless we conduct experiments ourselves


    to prove that this prescription does indeed cause infertility after consumption, we don’t have a case. I


    mean who would want to be a test subject?


    "Plus, because of my previous injuries from the car ident, if the other party''swyer keeps harping


    on this point, I won''t win the case. And now that I''m pregnant, it''s even less convincing."


    Trevor fell silent for a moment and asked, "Is it because of Keegan that you don''t want to sue?"


    Ste smiled. "Trevor, why would you think that? It''s because I didn’t sue that Keegan feels guilty


    toward me."


    Trevor was taken aback.


    Ste continued calmly, "Knowing that I wouldn''t win if I sued, the one who''d bear the bad reputation


    would be me. But by not suing, Keegan knows the injustice I''ve suffered. When he faces Dahlia, he


    won''t be so hesitant. The reason I’m not suing her is because at Olivia''s daughter''s wedding, I have a


    n. If I don’t let him know the malicious intentions of his mother toward his loved ones, he''ll always


    remember that tiny bit of favor for giving birth to him. Because of that, he won''t have the heart to hurt


    her, so I’m giving him a little push."
