Chapter 1212
Emilia was naive enough to think that her secret wouldn't be out. As long as she kept her mouth shut and insisted that it was Adrian's child, she would win at last.
Seeing that Emilia was dumbfounded, Aleigha went upstairs. However, she stopped again after a few steps, "By the way, that night, Adrian and I were in the room next to yours."
Emilia seemed to be hit on the head and did not come to her senses for a long time.
She blamed Aleigha for her current status quo. Emilia slighted Aleigha as a countrywoman, ignorant and uneducated. No urbane boys should fall for such a woman, not to mention Adrian. But the facts went in a different direction from what she had assumed.
Emilia made a mistake, a terribly blunder.
Emilia wanted to run away from this suffocating house, but she had nothing in her hand. She had to steal food in this house, let alone money. To make things worse, there was a demon in her belly, strangling her like a vine.
No one was in the hall, and Aleigha was upstairs. Emilia took the opportunity to sneak to the
basement.
The basement was dark and damp. Lainey had starved for days. Now she lay on the ground, gasping.
Emilia stood on her tiptoes and peeked inside from the only air outlet on the door. "Mom, Mom, where are you?" Lainey opened her eyes drastically. She could see nothing in the darkness but crept toward the sound source. "Emilia, Emilia." Her voice was hoarse and dry, and even a simple syllable made her suffer.
"Mom, mom, don't worry. I'll get you out one day. I want revenge. I must revenge myself on Aleigha. That bit*h, Aleigha, set me up! She already confessed her sins. It was she who fooled me into that room. That's why I was insulted by that beast. Mom, I want to get revenge. You hold on. I'll get you out soon. Wait for me."
Emilia threw some food she stole into the basement and then ran away.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Lainey groped in the dark and finally found the food to eat. She was resolute to live on for revenge.
Back in her room, Emilia tried to calm herself down. Because of her waywardness, she had lost those precious chances to kill Aleigha. Now, she needed to calm down and find a way out of this plight first. Aleigha leaked what she knew to Emilia deliberately. She thought those punishments for Lainey and Emilia were not severe enough, and they wouldn't want to die quietly.
That night, Emilia was sent to the hospital for a stomachache.
Marcos sent Aleigha to watch over Emilia. Although Aleigha was reluctant to do so but left no choice.
Emilia was sent into the operation room after arriving in the hospital. Two hours later, Emilia lost her first child.
No one but herself knew how the abortion happened. But her suffering got no sympathy from the Gardner family.
Marcos's anger did not subside at all. Even if it died away, he wouldn't feel for Emilia anymore.
At night, Aleigha stayed beside Emilia until the latter woke up.
"Why are you here?" Emilia was surprised to see Aleigha by her sickbed.
Aleigha smiled faintly, "Marcos asked me to keep an eye on you." "Heh, what a good actress you are You call him Dad affectionately at home and Marcos coldly here. It is a pity that they failed to see through your acting!"
Emilia was still weak and sounded feebly.
"So what? I am a Gardner anyway. I have my place in the Gardner family no matter how I call him."
What Aleigha said was true, but Emilia still felt it hard to accept that she was not a Gardner after all these years' indulgence.
"You can leave now. I don't need the tears of cayman."
Emilia turned her head aside and paid no attention to Aleigha.
Aleigha was anxious to leave too. She called Marcos to make a report. In less than half an hour, Marcos' men arrived and took Emilia back to the Gardner's regardless of the doctor's advice. Aleigha told from this move that Marcos hated Lainey and Emilia very much.
Emilia rest at home for three days and fled on the third night. Lainey was left alone in the basement.
Marcos lost his temper on this news and sent his men out in search of Emilia. Half a month passed, but there was still no sight of Emilia.
When the new year arrived, Lainey was allowed out for once.
Early in the morning, Marcos went to the basement to get Lainey out.
Aleigha stood on the balcony on the second floor. The skinny Lainey made her sneer in the heart.
Lainey managed to survive the starvation because there were her loyal servants in the house. They sent food to her from time to time, and Marcos didn't stop them though he knew their moves. Because of the long stay in the darkness and her endless cries, Lainey lost her sight, and the black pupils turned white. Charlotte waved her hand in front of Lainey, and those broken eyes made no response. Lainey looked much older than before. She wore down in a short time. However, Aleigha didn't feel satisfied as her mother suffered more before death.
"This agreement will set you free. Sign it. Otherwise, you know what awaits you. Emilia, that bit*h, fled. It is pointless for you to stay here now. I will give you some money, and you can lead an easy life from now on."
"Marcos, you are impatient to get rid of me just like you did to Miranda back then. You are heartless!"
"Bit*h, how dare you mention Miranda? Shut up."
Marcos slapped Lainey twice.
The slaps were so hard that Lainey fell on the sofa after a struggle.
"Hahahaha, Marcos, you beat me for Miranda? What did you do to her? Don't you remember? You are never a good man, no matter how you
disguise! I helped you get those net
shares from Miranda and huge legacies from the Mccall family! How can you do this to me! Or, you can, only I was stupid then!"
Aleigha upstairs heard Lainey clearly. It was a new message that her grandfather left a legacy.
"Do you believe that I can kill you
now? Lainey, have done my best for you in these past years. I know all your secrets though I pretended to know nothing. Don't pretend innocent. You took those Mccalls' wealth more than I did."
"Marcos, you are shameless! I dare you to kill me now. You know what, Emilia knew all your dirty deals."
