Chapter 88


    This was nothing like what she had in mind. Kaley was getting anxious. On one hand, she wished


    Brett woulde back already, on the other hand, she couldn''t help but want to shove Izabe


    down the stairs.


    Pregnant women are very vulnerable, and a fall down the stairs would surely end her life on the


    spot.


    This evil thought kept piling up in her heart, getting heavier and heavier.


    Just then, they heard the sound of a car engine outside. Izabe was surprised, wondering why


    Brett was back so early today.


    With him back, she wouldn''t be able to go to the orphanage as nned. Izabe felt a wave of


    disappointment, followed by a sense of unease.


    But she''s always been quick to ept the reality. She was about to turn around and head back to


    her bedroom, not wanting to bother with Kaley, when her wrist was suddenly grabbed.


    Izabe turned her head and saw Kaley ring at her, eyes deep and vicious like a poisonous


    snake.


    "Kaley, stop bothering me." Izabe knew this woman''s nature was impure. She may seem like a


    timid rabbit, but no one knows what evil schemes she''s plotting deep down.


    Having Kaleye closer could only mean trouble. They usually kept their distance, not interfering


    with each other''s lives. But now, with Kaley getting up close and personal, Izabe''s heart raced


    with fear. She had to be extra careful being pregnant now, with ns to abort in just a few days.


    Arguing on the stairs was risky enough, and Kaley was clearly up to no good. Their entanglement


    could easily lead to a nasty fall.


    By that time, Brett had already entered the house. Izabe tried to back away, but Kaley''s grip on


    her wrist tightened. To her surprise, she couldn''t break free.


    Kaley suddenly leaned in close to Izabe''s ear, her voice menacing. "Izabe, nobody knows


    about the baby yet, do they?"


    Before she could think about what that implied, Izabe saw a sh in Kaley''s eyes. The next thing


    she knew, Kaley was pulling her backwards.


    With quick reflexes, Izabe managed to grab the stair railing. Kaley, on the other hand, released


    her grip and lost her bnce, tumbling down the stairs.

    "Kaley!"


    Following the sound, Izabe saw Brett, looking gloomy, entering from outside. He hurried over to


    Kaley, picking her up from the floor.


    From her position upstairs, Izabe couldn''t see Kaley''s condition clearly. But she could see Brett''s


    face, dark and mad, his fierce gaze sending shivers down her spine.


    Turns out, she had underestimated Kaley''s ruthlessness. But then again, considering she had once


    staged a car ident and overdosed on sleeping pills, perhaps fear was no longer a factor for her.


    Her eyes shifted to the surveince monitor behind her. With surveince cameras around, Brett


    couldn''t just use her without basis.


    However, she couldn''t be sure. After all, when Kaley had pretended to be suicidal, Brett immediately


    pinned the me on her without even investigating.


    This morning, Brett had promised Kaley he''d be back at noon, but he never thought he''d witness


    Izabe pushing Kaley down the stairs upon his return.


    He carefully examined Kaley, finding no serious injuries apart from a few bruises. Still, falling from


    such a height could easily result in fractures.


    "What happened?"


    Kaley leaned into Brett''s arms, tears welling up in her eyes but not falling. She looked pitiful.


    She nced fearfully at Izabe, hesitating before saying, "It was my fault. I slipped and fell down


    the stairs. It has nothing to do with Izabe. Don''t overthink it."


    As if on instinct, Brett red at Izabe with a dark expression. "You push her?"


    This was not a question, but an usation. Just as she feared. Izabe felt a mix of anger and


    sadness, though her face showed a taunting smile. "Brett, didn''t you hear her say she slipped and


    fell on her own? What does that have to do with me?"


    Kaley sobbed softly into Brett''s chest, looking like she was enduring her grievances. Brett felt his


    patience being worn thin.


    Trista was right there too. Brett asked, "Trista, did you see anything?"


    Trista kept her head down, "I was in the dining room and didn''t see anything. But I did hear Ms.


    Salotti insulting Ms. Cot."


    Brett''s eyes grew colder, he scoffed, "And what did she say?"


    Trista''s face twisted in embarrassment, her lips trembling, clearly hesitant.


    Brett couldn''t hold back his anger any longer, his voice low, "Tell me."


    With her head still bowed, Trista spoke respectfully, "Ms. Salotti said as long as she holds Ms.


    Windham''s position, Ms. Cot will always remain a mistress and never get a chance..."
