“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 they laid a finger on the baby. The ruckus
continued late 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 glass 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?”
“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 NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“But that doesn’t make sense since the Boyers were hoping to have a grandchild, so why would he
plan 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 plausible.”
“Lily, are you coming over later?”
“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 explain
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 nonchalant 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 a company for
Jolene if he didn’t love her, right?
