Chapter 380


    “Eliza is as rude as her mother, who never filtered her words, including profanity. So her father


    threatened to abort the baby she was carrying. However, Eliza had such a vile temper with her that she


    threatened her parents about bringing her matters to court if theyid a finger on the baby. The ruckus


    continuedte into the night, then Eliza’s dad and I drove home afterward. The next morning, he told


    me that Eliza liked strawberry juice, so he made her a huge ss of juice before pouring it into a bottle


    to give it a good shake. I didn’t pay much attention to him back then, until I saw him do the same during


    lunch today. A few hours after Eliza drank the juice, she started bleeding, so who else could have had a


    hand in the miscarriage besides that old man?


    “It must be Carson who ordered him to do this.”


    “Lily, now that I’ve seen the old man doing this to Eliza, I’m reminded of something that happened


    before that. Do you think he might be behind Jolene’s miscarriage?”


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    “You didn’t tell me you did it in


    “But the miscarriage happened after just a single dose of my drug. I used to think it was Jolene’s karma


    that resulted in her miscarriage, but I suddenly remembered that she used to like apple juice back then,


    and the old man was always the one who made the juice for her. He never does any chores, so why


    would he want to make fruit juice all of a sudden? Also, he only made apple juice, which coincidentally


    was what Jolene liked, and he only made apple juice a couple of times, which he stopped doing after


    her miscarriage.”


    “But that doesn’t make sense since the Boyers were hoping to have a grandchild, so why would he


    n to abort Jolene’s baby?”


    “As I understand it, the Boyers don’t like Jolene, but they want the baby she was carrying. They only


    took Jolene to get a grandchild, but Jolene was being too greedy which possibly forced them to make


    such a move. .”


    “That sounds usible.”


    “Lily, are youing overter?”


    “I’ll have to wait until Carson informs me, so I’m not going there for a while.”


    “Okay. I’ll check on Eliza in the meantime.”


    After hanging up, I sat on the bed as I looked out the window. Eliza’s miscarriage was expected, but


    she would definitely cause a stir once she regained consciousness. On the other hand, I was tired of


    such incidents, so I prayed that Carson wouldn’t call to inform me about it. What Victoria told me was


    important, but I wasn’t sure it was true. If Mr. Boyer was the one who caused Jolene’s miscarriage. I


    wondered if the old man got Carson’s instructions, or he decided to do it of his own volition.


    I wondered if Carson got Jolene pregnant simply to get an heir for the family. This would also exin


    his change in attitude after he realized I was fertile. But weren’t they lovers? I thought. But then, I was


    suddenly reminded of how nonchnt Carson had been when Jolene miscarried. Although I assumed


    Carson loved Jolene, it was hard for me to believe that he did. love her more by witnessing her


    reluctance to sign the papers when Jolene miscarried. Still, he wouldn’t have created apany for


    Jolene if he didn’t love her, right?
