âYou know a lot.â Rachel looked at me suspiciously. âWhat exactly are you planning?â
I said firmly, âI want to make Yasmin and Michael pay for what theyâve done to me.
âMichael has always seen Yasmin as a kind woman, right? Letâs expose Yasminâs hypocritical mask and reveal her true colors to Michael.â
âWe?â Rachel sneered. âHow can you be so sure Iâll help you?â
âYou will. You know what Stephanie went through in the Ford family. You also know that Yasmin falsely accused her.â
1 added confidently, âFor the sake of your good friend, youâll help me.â
âWhat should we do first?â Rachel compromised as she harbored strong animosity toward Michael and Yasmin.
I passed a note to Rachel. âStephanie didnât push Yasmin down the stairs, and Jack witnessed it.
They lied. Jack clearly saw that Stephanie wasnât the one who pushed Yasmin.â
âJack and Yasmin are on the same boat. Even if he saw it, he wouldnât tell the truth.â Rachel frowned. âJack is a coward. Letâs stage a scenario to scare him, and heâll tell everything. Then, call Michael and Yasmin over.â
I wanted to create a show that would expose Yasminâs true colors to Michael.
I wanted to gradually ruin their soâcalled true love. I wanted Yasmin to never get what she wanted.
Yasmin and Michael needed to face the consequences they deserved.
âI have to goâ¦â
A few people were searching for someone outside the window. Clearly, they were the bodyguards of the Lincoln family.
I couldnât be away for too long. The Lincoln family might become suspicious.
Rachel frowned as she asked, âHow can I reach you?â
âIâll contact you.â I stood up, preparing to leave.
âI trust you because you were able to answer my questions, indicating Stephanieâs genuine trust in youâ¦â Rachelâs voice was hoarse.
I nodded. âWait for my updates.â
Leaving the café, I hailed a taxi and returned to the Lincoln residence. I brought along some baby products.
Ignatiusâ expression soured as he stood in the yard. âWhere have you been?â
âGrandpa, I was happy, so I went to the shopping mall near the hospital to buy things for my child.
âAlthough itâs still early, buying baby products in advance symbolizes good luck. Itâs my wish for the child to have a safe and smooth birth.â
I smiled, trying to comfort the old man in front of me.
This old man didnât seem like a kind person. I felt uneasy just looking at him.
Ignatius sneered and didnât say much.
âYouâre now carrying the Lincoln familyâs child. This childâs successful birth is the completion of your mission, understand?â
I quickly nodded obediently. âGrandpa, youâre right.â
âAlright, go back to your room and rest.â
I followed the nanny upstairs, but she led me to a different room. âArenât we staying together anymore?â
The nanny said disdainfully, âYouâre pregnant. It might not be safe for you to continue living with that lunatic.â
They didnât care much about Steven.
âNo matter what, heâs still the Lincoln familyâs scion and the father of my child. Is it fair to criticize him like this?
âIf Mr. Lincoln Senior finds out, he might think youâre jinxing the child in my belly. What if my child.
turns out to be a lunatic tooâ¦â I lowered my voice to threaten the nanny.
The nannyâs face changed slightly as she quickly lowered her head. âMrs. Lincoln, youâre right.â
Passing by Stevenâs room, I suddenly stopped when I heard sounds of violence and suppression coming from the room.
I turned to the nanny. âWhat are they doing?â
âThat mad⦠Mr. Steven tried to escape today, but he got caught. Mr. Andy is giving him a lesson.â
The nanny glanced around cautiously. âLetâs go, Mrs. Lincoln. We donât need to intervene.â
I felt worried as I recalled the injuries on Stevenâs body.
I abruptly stopped after taking a few steps. I turned to walk toward the room and forcefully pushed open the door.
