Chapter 260

Those words shocked everyone present!

Gideon went up and held her hand.

His stern eyes swept across everyone’s face as he said in a deep voice.

“Starting from today, I officially announce that my wife, Nell Jennings’ matter is my matter, and offending her is offending the entire Leith family! As for my late mother-in-law who was harmed, I’ll personally send someone to investigate this and hope that the police can be fair in dealing with this to uphold justice for kind souls!”

A police officer from Jincheng was present with the Leith family.

When he heard that, he quickly said, “That’s for sure! Don’t you worry Mr. Leith, I will personally oversee this matter and not let any murderer slip away!”

Gideon nodded in satisfaction and walked in with Nell.

The Jennings who came to apprehend people on the island was like a farce that started and ended in chaos.

Sylvia and the others who were suspected of murder were led away by the police.

Since this matter involved Gideon, the police department dared not take it lightly.

Regarding Nell’s intention to hide her situation, it ended with the beginning of this case.

After all, nobody thought the reason Nell did this was to pick out her mother’s murderer.

As for the police department, even though they helped Nell spread fake news online and got some criticism from some people, it was related to the case so nobody dared say anything.

In short, from a certain point of view, this matter had temporarily come to an end.

Nell and Gideon also returned to Jincheng.

She also did not rush the case as the police needed time to investigate.

On the contrary, it was Janet Hancock who had gone abroad before this and only came back in the past two days. Nell heard that she was living alone at Red Maple Gardens and was slightly worried, so she planned to pay a visit.

This day, Nell spared some time to buy something from the supermarket and came to where Janet lived.

Although Red Maple Gardens was one of the top high-end communities in Jincheng, it still had a gap if compared to Chanson Court where Janet used to live.

Nell came to the floor where Janet lived, found the room number, and rang the doorbell.

Shortly after, the door opened.

After not seeing her for a while, Janet gained weight. She was dressed in light-colored clothes with her hair unkempt, revealing a face that would surprise all beings.

Her eyes lit up when she saw Nell and hugged her excitedly.

“Thank god you’re okay, I was worried sick.”

Nell felt a warmth in her heart as she patted her back lightly. “I’m okay, don’t worry.”

Janet only released her after a few seconds.

Then, she brought her into the house.

“Make yourself at home, anything that you want to drink? I’ll get one for you.”

Nell looked around the house and said, “Anything will do.”

She sat on the sofa and realized that although this house was incomparable to Janet’s previous one, the things in it were still considered luxurious, only then she felt relieved.

Janet passed her a glass of water and sat in front of her.

Nell took a sip and looked at her.

Then, there was a short silence.

They had been best friends since high school and both of them knew what the other thought.

It was just that sometimes, neither of them wanted to speak first, nor did they want to break the peaceful atmosphere that had been so difficult to come by.

Finally, it was Nell who broke the silence.

“How far along?”

She lifted her chin and gestured to Janet’s already swollen belly.

Janet curled her lips and lowered her head slightly as she touched her belly, saying, “Six months.”

Nell’s heart trembled.

Six months had passed in just a blink of an eye.

Another four months and she would be delivering.

“What about the father of the child? Has he not appeared yet?”

Janet was slightly dumbfounded.

She forced a smile. “Nelly, I don’t want to force it.”

Nell frowned.

“What do you mean? Don’t tell me he doesn’t want to be responsible!”

“No.”

Seeing that Nell was becoming angry, she quickly stopped her.

“He...still doesn’t know about this.”

“What?”

Nell was utterly stunned.

“The baby is already six months and he still doesn’t know it? What are you thinking about? You should tell him about it because this isn’t your sole responsibility, do you understand?”

Janet did not rush to explain but waited for her to finish before saying slowly, “I know, but do you really think that it makes sense to force someone who doesn’t love me?”

Nell was speechless.

Until that moment, she suddenly understood something by looking at the delicate but somewhat lost face in front of her.

Her throat felt astringent and her chest seemed to be suppressed.

She took a deep breath and asked softly, “Who...is he?”

Janet did not say a word.

She sat there silently with her head bowed without making eye contact.

It was obvious that she did not want to talk about it.

Nell calmed down and said deeply, “Okay, I’ll respect your decision and your privacy. You don’t have to say a word or tell that man, but have you thought about what this means?

Jan, you’re the number one beauty in the entertainment industry and the main female artist. Do you know what it means for a female artist to be unmarried and pregnant with an unknown man’s baby?

Well, you don’t care about your future but what about yourself? Having a baby is not about letting it run its course naturally. Have you figured out how to raise him and how to explain all of this to him?

Also, what will Uncle Ethan think? He loves you so much and definitely will not allow you to do this, do you want to destroy your relationship with him?”

Nell’s concerns were not unfounded.

She knew Janet too well!

Who was Janet Hancock? The Big Miss of the Hancock family, the princess of Hancock Enterprise who was raised in a honeypot since she was a child with unlimited wealth to squander and had never had any hardships her entire life.

Now, she had to raise a child on her own and face such a severe situation!

Nell was worried that she could not take it and would regret her decision.

However, Janet shook her head.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 “Nelly, I understand your concerns as I have thought about them carefully.”

“And you still decided to have the kid?”

Janet suddenly looked at Nell.

The double eyelids showed no fear nor helplessness and did not have any weakness and cluelessness an unwed mother should have.

There was only determination and confidence.

“Yes, it’s a little life and has the right to come into this world, and...”

That was her child!

The person she could not keep was perhaps only moving in parallel with her in this life with an intersection on that single night and would only move further away in the future.
