Chapter 570
With her eyes betraying a hint of jealousy, Irene couldn’t help but nce at Aiden, who stood beside
Amelia. She hadn’t expected Amelia to give birth to a child while in prison.
Meanwhile, Irene herself had lost the ability to bear children and now found herself forced to raise
Amelia’s child in the future.
“Amelia, it’s been a while,” Irene greeted her. “I heard from Warren that Aiden is his child. In that
case, I will treat Aiden as my own child from now on!”
As she spoke, Irene pointed to the driver standing behind her, who held a handful of children’s toys
in his hand.
“These are the toys I prepared for Aiden. I didn’t know where you were living, so I came here to
deliver them,” Irene exined, offering a warm smile.
However, in Amelia’s eyes, that smile was so unsettling that it sent shivers of fear down her spine.
Back then, Irene had also smiled gently at her. But in the blink of an eye, she had feigned a fall
down the stairs. It left Amelia wondering what Irene’s true intentions were this time.
Almost subconsciously, Amelia moved to shield her son, positioning herself protectively in front of
him.
“What do you want?” Amelia asked cautiously.
“What else could I want? I simply want to be kind to Aiden. After all, he is Warren’s son and will be
my son in the future,” Irene replied with a smile. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
“Aiden will never be your son!” Amelia eximed firmly, her thoughts racing, “How could I ever allow
my son to be the child of a woman who framed me?”
Amelia couldn’t help but grip her son’s hand even tighter, as if she feared that the woman before her
might once again try to take
away her most precious treasure.
“Mommy, it hurts!” The little boy frowned, his young mind unable toprehend why his mother
appeared so anxious.
He wondered, “Besides, why did that other woman say that I would be her son in the future? I’m
clearly Mommy’s son!”
Only then did Amelia realize that she had unintentionally hurt her son, prompting her to loosen her
grip on him immediately.
Irene’s voice sounded again. “Is this really necessary? Amelia, although you heartlessly pushed me
down the stairs and caused my abortion, but…”
“Shut up!” Amelia shrieked, her face turning pale as she interrupted Irene. She mused, “Stop! Stop
talking about it, especially on such an asion. There are children and parents of the kindergarten
around, and most importantly… Aiden is also here!”
Ignoring Amelia’s plea, Irene continued, “Though you’ve been in prison and paid the price for your
crime, someone who’s been in prison shouldn’t be raising a child. It would be in the best interest of
the child to be with me and Warren. Why must you make a scene out of this?”
Amelia’s body suddenly shuddered, her face draining of color. Her hand holding her son’s grew cold
at an rming rate.
“Nonsense! My mommy wasn’t in prison! Only the bad guys go to jail!” Aiden rushed forward from
behind Amelia, his small form filled with determination as he addressed Irene with a touch of anger.
Even though Aiden didn’t grasp the full meaning of many things the woman said, heprehended
the part about Amelia being in jail.
And that was exactly why he flew into a rage.
In his young mind, from what he had seen in cartoons, those in prison were the bad guys. To him,
his mother was the best person in the world. How could she ever be considered a bad guy?
Irene cast a subtle nce at Aiden, and a trace of imperceptible disgust flickered in her eyes,
especially when she noticed that the child’s eyes resembled Amelia’s.
“Just ask your mommy if she was in jail or not,” Irene urged Aiden, her gaze still on Amelia’s pale
face. She addressed Amelia, saying earnestly, “Amelia, you wouldn’t lie to the child, would you?”
Amelia’s heart skipped a beat. As she gazed at her son’s innocent face, she found herself at a loss
for how to answer this question.
“Seems like you have a lot of free time on your hands, Ms. Fletcher!” Rosalie approached Amelia
and addressed Irene. “Before, you sent a bunch of troublemakers to create chaos at Amelia’s food
cart. I wonder if the Fletcher family had a hand in colluding with these thugs. In the current climate
of fighting against wrongdoing, let’s hope the Fletcher family doesn’t end up breaking thew. Who
knows, maybe someone from the Fletcher family might find themselves behind bars!”
Irene’s face darkened, and she fixed her gaze on Rosalie. “Ah, so it’s you! You’ve been to jail as
well, haven’t you? Ame make quite the pair. Awyer who’s been in jail helping another ex-convict
filewsuits.”:
You and
Ever since Irene encountered Rosalie at the banquet, she had instructed someone to investigate
Rosalie’s background and history.
Rosalie responded with a scoff, “Yes, I did go to jail, but it was a setup, and thew has now cleared
my name. The actual culprits will face justice. Can’t Amelia be innocent as well? Ms. Fletcher, you
keep ridiculing us for being imprisoned, but how can you be so sure you won’t find yourself in prison
one day too?”
Irene’s face reddened in embarrassment. She couldn’t help but feel as though Rosalie, with her
composed demeanor and prating gaze, could see through everything.
“Nonsense! If you keep this up, I can sue you for defamation!” Irene snapped.
“Excellent,” Rosalie responded bluntly. “We can examine Amelia’s case while we’re at it, and that
way, we’ll determine if I’m indeed ndering you or not.”
Irene shot Rosalie a venomous re and then turned her attention to Amelia. “You’ve managed to
find yourself apetentwyer. However, you’ve already lost the custody case! Amelia Haab, you
took the life of an unborn child in the past. Your name will never be cleared!”
Irene deliberately raised her voice, ensuring that her words reached the ears of those nearby.
Some parents and children had already turned their heads to look. Now, because of Irene’s
shouting, even more parents and children were drawn to themotion, their curious gazes fixated
on the unfolding scene.
Amelia found it impossible to avoid the scrutiny of all those eyes, even if she had wanted to.
After delivering her harsh words, Irene didn’t follow through on her promise to give Aiden the toys.
Instead, she instructed the driver to take them back to the car and drove away.
Rosalie nced at the pale-faced Amelia and the perplexed Aiden. Sheforted them, saying,
“Let’s head back now. Aiden has just learned about these things earlier than he is supposed to,
that’s all. It’s not a big deal.”
Once they reached Amelia’s current residence, Matilda clenched her teeth in frustration upon
learning about the incident that had urred at the entrance of the kindergarten.
“I can’t believe Irene is still trying to harm Amelia after already causing her so much harm!” Matilda
eximed, her anger evident in her voice.
