Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Esther thought, ‘Anne’s baby was not James’s. Oh my god. This is a good opportunity to defeat Anne.

And if James knew that the woman he had insisted on choosing had cuckolded him, how angry he would be?

Just thinking about it was enough to vent my anger!’

After Esther came out of the Cusack’s, she took a taxi back to the Gibson’s.

She had told Terence that she would wait for him to pick her up in the afternoon. Now that she had come out in advance, she did not forget to call him.

“Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Is it not fun in the Cusack’s?” Terence asked.

Esther hesitated for a moment and said in a self-deprecating tone, “I’m afraid that I’ll be killed by them.”

“What do you mean? Did your grandmother make a move on you again?” Terence asked in a low voice. If Betty had really done something, then she should go to the Cusack’s less often.

“No, it’s because I discovered a huge secret.” Esther said, “Do you want to hear it?”

“Does it have anything to do with me? Otherwise, I don’t want to know.” Terence had never been interested in gossip, especially gossip that had nothing to do with him.

“Well, I guess it does.” Esther thought about it. Anyway, this was all about the Gibsons.

“Then tell me about it.”

“I saw a paternity test in Anne’s room. It turned out that her baby was not James’s.”

“What did you say?” Terence lowered his voice and said, “Are you kidding me?”

“How would I joke about this kind of thing?” Esther said, “I did not even mention this to my mother.”

Terence was silent. Esther continued, “In fact, I didn’t believe it at first. But after thinking about it later, it was not impossible. Do you remember that when we were in Randall City, Anne slept with Tyler to get the contract? I guess this baby is very likely to be Tyler’s.”

“Perhaps.” Terence thought about it and reminded, “Just pretend that you don’t know about this.”

“Why?”

“Didn’t you just say that you were afraid of being killed?”

“I was joking.” Esther smiled. “It’s not going to happen. Anne won’t do this.”

“No matter what, it is always good to be careful.” He said resignedly, “Esther, have you forgotten what happened to you when you were robbed last time? How could you peep into other people’s secrets? We must keep a watchful eye on others, okay?”

“I know.” Esther said innocently, “Actually, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just wanted to find my cell phone in Anne’s room. I didn’t expect to find that.”

After that, she added, “Alright, you should go to work. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Be careful when you take a taxi.”

“I will. Goodbye, dear.” Esther smiled and hung up the phone.

On the other side, Betty also called Anne and scolded her, “Anne, come back and see if your jewelry is missing. Esther sneaked into your bedroom when I was not paying attention. I saw she looked through the drawer where you put your jewelry!”

When Anne received the call, she had just finished her lunch and returned to the bedroom. Hearing this, her expression changed instantly. “Grandma, what did you just say? Esther looked through my drawer?”

“Yes. I saw her sneaking around. She must have stolen your jewelry.” Betty said.

Anne’s face was as white as sheet. She clenched her fingers.

There was only one thing in her mind: Esther must have seen it.

“Anne, are you listening?” Betty asked suspiciously, “Is there anything valuable?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Anne came back to herself and asked anxiously, “Where is Esther now?”

“I scolded her just now. She has gone home.”

“How can you let her go?” Anne was anxious.

“What’s wrong?” Betty asked with concern, “It can’t be that she took away something valuable?”

“You shouldn’t let her go. Grandma, you should lock her up and tie her up. You can’t let her leave like that!” Anne roared in exasperation for a while, paused, and then said again, “Grandma, go and see if the paternity test is still there. The document in that drawer.”

“Documents? I just took a look and it was still inside.” Betty said, but she didn’t notice what was written on the document.

“Then quickly take it out and burn it. Don’t leave a single trace behind!” Anne said loudly.

Betty didn’t dare to trifle with it and immediately returned to Anne’s bedroom to get the document.

After hanging up the phone, Anne was almost like a deflated ball.

She sat on the ground and gently touched her abdomen. She tightly clutched her clothes. Her heart was a mess for a moment.

It was all her fault for not tearing it apart and throwing it away on the spot when she got the paternity test, and even foolishly putting it in her bedroom.

It was also because she was too stupid and careless, thinking that Esther would never enter her bedroom and would not casually look through her things. She should take Esther seriously!

However, it was useless to say anything now. Esther had already seen the results.

This morning, she had picked on Esther. She mocked her that the video was gone, so Esther had lost the evidence to deal with her. She didn’t expect the situation to change so quickly.

Esther was going to turn her in.

What should she do now?

Anne became more anxious and afraid. There was a sound of footsteps coming from the outside. It was clearly Esther’s.

She bit her lips and stood up from the ground. After trying to adjust the expression on her face, she pulled open the bedroom door and walked out.

Esther was just about to open the door and return to her bedroom. She paused and her lips curled slightly. She ignored her, opened the door, and entered the room.

“I heard you looked through my drawer?” Anne walked up with her hands crossed over her chest. She asked with absolute certainty.

Anne needed to first confirm whether Esther had seen the paternity test or not. It was also possible that before she had even noticed it, Betty had already appeared and stopped her.
