Chapter 214 Borrow a Knife to Kill
Sensing her hesitation, the other party smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Since the other party is so wary, then we can wait for them to completely trust you before making a move. Anyway, there is no hurry.”
Hearing this, Maria finally nodded and reluctantly agreed. “Alright…”
Maria had just hung up the phone and returned home when the phone suddenly rang again. When she saw that it displayed the number of City R, she hesitated for a while before answering. She also carefully asked ‘hello’, “May I ask who you are?”
“Me?” The young woman at the other end of the line smiled. “I am the one behind you.”
“Who?”
“The one who gave you a lot of money.”
“The person behind the scenes who asked me to abort the child in Miss Anne’s belly?” Maria asked suspiciously. After all, she had never been in contact with the other party and had always been in contact with Carol.
“That’s right, it’s me.”
“Okay…” Maria finally reacted and hurriedly said, “I have just told Carol that Mr. Terence is very cautious about Miss Anne’s diet and daily life, so I have to put this matter aside for the time being. Let’s talk about it after some time.”
“After some time? How long will that take?”
“I can’t help it. I can’t call Miss Anne today. I can cause some other accidents for her tomorrow, right? Mr. Terence will definitely suspect me.”
“What are you afraid of? At most, you will be fired. What else can I do?” The other party smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll pay you double salary or even three times.”
“So high! Where did you get so much money, beauty?”
“I am a famous big star in the entertainment circle. It’s not just a small job.”
“A big star?” Maria was surprised. At the same time, she was a little excited. She had never spoken to a big star.
“This is a secret.” The woman on the other side of the line pretended to be mysterious and said, “In short, hurry up and get things done. I won’t treat you unfairly. When this matter is done, you can buy a house and a car for your son, and you can choose the style of the place.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course it’s true? How would I dare to lie to you? I was afraid that you would betray me.”
“No, no.”
“In short, you should hurry up. The sooner the better.”
“Alright, I’ll study it.”
“Alright, that’s it then.” The woman said, “By the way, Maria, send me a card number later. I’ll give you a down payment first.”
“Good, good!” When Maria heard that the woman was going to give her a deposit, she was immediately delighted.
Holding the phone that had already been hung up in her hand, Anne lifted the corners of her lips mockingly. “So funny, big star? I want to borrow your knife to kill people!”
Jennifer asked curiously, “How is it? Does that clock engineer believe that you are the mastermind?”
“Yes.” At the mention of money, how could she not believe it?
“That is good.”
“Anne, your action is pretty good. At that time, Esther wouldn’t know how her child died,” Linda said with a smile.
Anne smiled proudly. She wanted this effect!
Didn’t Esther want to rely on her belly to help Terence return to the company headquarters? She just refused to let her succeed. She wanted her to try the feeling of being stepped on by her. It also made her clearly realize that even if she married James’ uncle, it was useless to be her elder. In front of her, she was nothing!
“But…” Jennifer suddenly asked out of curiosity, “Isn’t it rumored that Terence suffered from a very terrible strange disease? He probably doesn’t have that kind of function? How could Esther get pregnant so quickly?”
“Yeah, maybe it’s someone else’s child.” Linda echoed from the side, and then the two looked at each other and laughed.
“Hey, what do you think the Gibsons will do if she really comes back with a bastard?”
“I don’t know. I think she will be driven out. Anyway, he will definitely not have a good ending.”
“Well, I think so!”
“Anne is still the happiest. She is pregnant with the child of the future heir of the Gibsons, and the child is also a boy. How can that bitch Esther compare to her?”
“That’s right. That’s why I feel that Anne doesn’t need to take her seriously at all.”
“That’s right, Anne. When she returns to City R, you can persuade Mrs. Gibson to take her for a paternity test. If she is not a child of the Gibsons, you will be more at ease.”
“Yes, yes, yes … I think this is a good idea!”
The two friends became more and more excited as they talked as if Esther was not carrying Terence’s child.
Lin Anne looked at them, listening to their sarcasm and suggestions one after another, but her heart was not moved, but suddenly seemed to be lightly hit by something.
The child of others…
She did not doubt that the child in Esther’s belly was not Terence’s, because she knew clearly in her heart whether Terence had that kind of function. She was suddenly worried about herself.
That was right, it was herself!
She suddenly remembered that night she had sex with Tyler other than with James in Randall City. Although that disgusting man had specially shot out of his body for trouble, who knew if he had made it clean or not, if not…
She shivered unconsciously and did not dare to continue thinking about it.
“Anne, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?” When her good friends saw that she had not made a sound, they finally noticed that she did not look too good.
Lin Anne smiled. “It’s nothing. Maybe it’s a little stuffy here.”
“No, the air here is very good.” Jennifer glanced at the elegant and quiet seats around her.
Linda glared at her. “Anne is pregnant now. If she says it is stuffy, it must be stuffy.”
“That’s true. Let’s go. Let’s find another place to sit.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“No.” Anne smiled at her two friends. “You guys stay here and chat slowly. I’ll go back first.”
“So fast?”
“Yes, I was worried that my mother-in-law would be worried if I went out for too long.” She stood up from her chair.
Amanda was so fond of the child in Anne’s belly that she usually cared about her every move.
It was just that the child Amanda was so fond of. What if the baby was not James’s child…? What should she do? Amanda should kick herself out of the house. Then James, who had become more and more impatient with her, would definitely not help her, and would even secretly rejoice because he could return to being single again. He could go back to pursue Esther and go flirt with the little beauties outside.
Although James had always refused to admit it, she could see that ever since James had witnessed Esther’s elegant demeanor in the Anetly’s of Randall City, James had begun to have a good impression of her again and had the intention of turning back.
Even if she told James about the ugly things done by Esther five years ago, he would always retort her.
In the beginning, he didn’t think that way. In the beginning, when she told him about Esther’s past, he always had a look of disgust and contempt on his face. Even the gaze he used to look at her was full of disdain.
She did not expect him to change his attitude so quickly. This was really a bad sign!
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Anne shook her head and had to remind herself not to think too much and not scare herself again.
She would not be so unlucky, definitely not.
Now that medicine was so advanced, she would know if it was James’s child after taking some amniotic fluid for a test. She had to check it another day.
