Chapter 323 Instigation
Cora paused for a while and kept sobbing, “I deserve it. I ended this relationship by myself before so now Zachariah falls in love with another. To be honest, I should have quit myself. But I still deeply love him. I can’t just simply let it go. I can’t! But what can I do about it? Now I lost my baby, I have nothing to rely on to struggle for his love. Savannah, I am afraid I could never be part of your family.”
Cora wore a solemn face and said, “Cora, don’t be so pessimistic. Everyone can tell how much Zachariah cares about you.”
Cora shook her head, “Savannah, there is no need to comfort me. I might have believed it if you had told me the same thing before. But now Zachariah should be probably enchanted by Ophelia.”
Upon hearing that, Savannah seemed to be gaged. She had no idea how to refute.
Cora suddenly grabbed her hand and said sadly, “Savannah, I do want to marry him. If so, we could go shopping and spend time together just like sisters. But now…”
Mixed feelings surged up in Savannah’s eyes.
Tears kept dropping down from Cora’s face. Savannah was rendered quite agitated. She hurried to wipe her tears with tissue, “Cora, stop crying. You still need to rest for recovery. You would be still bothered by ailment if you cry or stay being sad after a miscarriage.”
However, her comfort words didn’t seem to work. Cora still shed tears.
Savannah continued to comfort, “Girl, just calm down. I will still back you up. I don’t want Ophelia to be my sister-in-law either. I will make plans for you to make you the real ‘Mrs. Chambers’. Both of you and Zachariah are still young enough to have babies even though after a miscarriage this time. Don’t cry, okay. I am sure we could defeat her if we still stick together.”
A trace of viciousness flashed in Cora’s eyes. But she still pretended to promise, “Savannah, I can’t afford to make you Ophelia’s enemy just because of me. I am afraid your brother would be driven mad at you.”
Savannah waved her hand and denied, “I have been deeming myself one of her enemies at the very beginning. She was just a nobody from a poor family. She could never be qualified to be Mrs. Chambers except for her beauty. She has been with this title for almost five years. That’s fair enough. You should take her place now. She really disgusts me every time I need to go back home for a family dinner.”
While wiping tears, Cora pretended to hesitate, “Savannah, please don’t be hostile against her just because of me. I don’t want to any poor sympathy.”
Savannah leaned against the couch with arms crossed on her chest, “Cora, you know about me. When I say I hate somebody, I would never cover it up. She always pretends to be emotionally-abused in front of my mom. Ever since she married Zachariah, my mom has been highly valuing her. Now my mom actually cares about her more than me. She has always been my enemy. I really wish her a divorce with my brother.”
Cora lowered down her head with spite in her eyes.
“Savannah, you know how much I want to marry your brother. But it depends on him. And now he doesn’t even seem to think about a divorce.” Her voice sounded frustrating. She then raised her head to look at Savannah, powerless, “Savannah, now you are the only one I can turn to. I am so eager to marry Zachariah and you also want him to divorce Ophelia. So…”
Savannah didn’t seem to be aware of her intention. So she asked, “What can I do for you?”
“Strangle the bond between Zachariah and her.”
Savannah still failed to realize what she meant by saying so. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“What?”
“I mean her baby.”
Suddenly, Savannah noticed that with her eyes wide open out of shock. She stared at Cora with great disbelief, “Cora, are you crazy?”
Cora continued, “No! If Ophelia gives birth to the baby, I am afraid Zachariah would never divorce her.”
Savannah jumped up from the couch, looking scared. She kept waving her hands to deny, “No! That’s my nephew! No matter how much I hate Ophelia, I would never slaughter my nephew. Cora, are you being too sad to think reasonably because of miscarriage?”
A trace of evil still lingered in Cora’s eyes.
“Savannah, you will still have more nephews in the future. However, if Ophelia does give birth to a baby as she wishes, it would only strengthen her relationship with Zachariah. Will you be willing to live with her for the rest of your life?”
Savannah responded with silence.
She did hate Ophelia as well. Though she only held mere disdain against Ophelia at the beginning, it gradually turned into burning hatred when her mom started to fully focus on Ophelia. For Savannah herself, she had always been the most treasured one in the family. Everyone around her had never been stingy about their concerns with her. However, the love she received had been looted by Ophelia as soon as she married Zachariah.
Even her mom seemed to show much more care about Ophelia. Of course Savannah was rendered so jealousy.
Cora then continued with her instigating, “Savannah, I heard that you mom has been loving her. Perhaps her love for Ophelia even outweighs the one for you. If she gives birth to a boy this time, I am afraid she would get more care from your family. If so, even your mom would follow whatever she is told. And don’t you deem yourself at risk if that happens? After you marry a man someday, your family would be under her control. Think about it. If you got offended because of your future husband, are you sure she, the one in power, would be on your side? Let me remind you. Stop assuming that your brother might still support you. As a man, he would be also likely to be convinced when exposed to her incitement. When the day comes, you might be only a stranger to your brother.”
