Chapter 423


    Jolene didn’t realize I was upstairs, so she keptining, ‘For some reason, I don’t feel well after


    signing the lease. I feel dizzy, nauseous and just


    tired.’


    Wait, is she pregnant again?


    Carson said something the other way, but she denied it: ‘No, I had a checkup and I’m not


    pregnant. The doctor is also baffled as I still have primary ovarian failure.


    POF? Ah, sost time’s checkup results were real. I thought she was lying, but why did she have that


    disease? Could it have something to do with the abortion? Not wanting her to notice me, I took the


    elevator down. Eric would be talking to Camille for a long time, and I didn’t have time to wait, so I hailed


    a cab as soon as I left the hospital.


    Halfway there, Eric called. ‘Where are you?’


    ‘I have something to do, so I left.’


    ‘Oh, you got angry, didn’t you? Small.’


    Stingy my foot! Say it to yourself! I scolded silently. ‘No, I’m not. I really have something to do.’


    ‘Fine. You can take tomorrow off to pick up your things. The survey starts in two days, so don’t


    forget. Also, is your passport still valid? God, he knows how toin


    ‘It is.’


    ‘Good.’


    I would have forgotten my passport if he hadn’t mentioned it, so I asked the driver to take me home. No


    one greeted me when I entered, and the house was silent, no one present. Unconcerned, I went to my


    room to get my passport, then when I came down, I saw Victoria.


    “Are you back for something, Lily?”


    ‘Yes. Where are all the others?


    ‘Eliza and her mother are still in the hospital. She needs a few more days before she can go


    home. Then Victoria whispered, ‘Carsones hometetely.’


    He must have yed with Jolene while I wasn’t here, but I didn’t care anymore. ‘Just let him do what


    he’s doing. Make a fool of yourself, Victoria.


    ‘Oh yes, the old fool hasn’t been hometely either. He said he rented some new warehouses for raw


    materials. He went to supervise because he’s

    worried.’


    ‘Where is this new warehouse?’ I asked.


    ‘South Avenue, I think.’


    That sounded familiar. Eric’s assistant mentioned that name in his report, so was Carson the one Eric


    was trying to sabotage? No, he seemed indifferent when I mentioned my revenge n to him. And he


    even scolded me, so how did he set it up so quickly?


    Carson wasn’t an idiot, so sabotaging him took careful nning. There were many steps involved from


    raw materials to finished product in this trap, requiring a lot of prep time – and by that I mean months,


    not days. Was he already trying to sabotage Carson before I told him? Did


    he not tell me because he was worried I would leak the secret?
