Chapter 498
When Carol set her eyes on lan, they just about popped out of her head. Then, spotting Carlene next to him, her
smile dropped a notch.
Carlene was no stranger to Carol, after all, the Millers, running a diamond business, were legit blue blood.
“Ms. Miller”
Carlene greeted her politely. Carol played deaf and turned her attention to lan
lan, however, didn’t spare Carol a glance and walked past her.
A sense of relief washed over Carlene. She nodded at Carol, then hurried to catch up with lan
Carol snapped a picture of their retreating figures. The flash was still on, and at the moment she pressed the
shutter, the whole space seemed to light up.
lan stopped in his tracks, tuming to look at Carol, his eyes as cold as an iceberg.
“Delete that
Carol’s heart pounded. She straightened her neck and said, “No way, I’m sending this to Maja, your wife”
At the mention of his wife’s name, lan’s brow furrowed, and he finally looked Carol in the eye.
“Do you know Maja?”
“Of course, we’re good friends.”
tan let out a chuckle. “Seems like Ms. Miller didn’t teach you well.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarol’s face stiffened. “What do you mean?”
Carlene chimed in, “What lan means is that being friends with someone like her is beneath you”
Carol was instantly pissed off.
These two were thick as thieves!
lan didn’t give her another look and walked away
Carlene deliberately lagged behind, turning to Carol
lan and I came to the hospital this late because I needed a check–up.”
She intentionally caressed her stomach.
“Still, I hope you won’t tell your friend about this. I’m not sure what to do yet.”
With Carlene’s vague words, touching her belly, and coming to the hospital late at night with lan, Carol quickly
caught on.
She stared disbelievingly at Carlene’s stomach
Was Carlene pregnant?
Carlene gave a small smirk, not giving Carol a chance to ask, and walked away.
Carol stood there, fuming. After some thought, she decided to call Maja night away
It was ten o’clock at night. Maja was already asleep, but she picked up the call in a daze
“Carol.”
“Maja, oh my god, how can you sleep? That witch, Carlene, is pregnant with lan’s baby They’re at the hospital
getting a check–up!”
Maja jolted awake, her sleepiness instantly gone. She was wide awake now.
Carol was still ranting on the other end.
“That jerk, he’s only good–looking. I can’t believe I had such poor judgment. He’s ditching a beautiful woman like
you and getting that hypocritical woman pregnant!” Maja suddenly found it hard to breathe. Her body started to
ache.
It was not lan she cared about, but the baby that was forcefully aborted.
Maja felt like her heart was on fire. Her hand clutched the bedsheet tightly.
What humiliated her the most was that she never really felt the presence of that baby.
She had looked up information about painless abortions. Medical technology these days was indeed advanced. An
operation could be completed in just ten minutes, and the patient could leave the hospital right after
It was so fast that she didn’t even realize the existence of her baby.
Except for that pregnancy test stick showing two lines.
Maja suddenly felt like throwing up. The anger and nausea mixed together, making her unable to catch her breath.
She rushed to the sink and started retching,
Heaning Moja’s vomiting on the phone, Carol became alert. “Are you sick? I’m sorry: I shouldn’t have told you this
news!
Maja turned on the faucet and rinsed her mouth with clean water, tears in her eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m fine, just a stomach upset”
Carol sounded worried. Tll come see you. I’m at the hospital right now, I can bring some stomach medicine.”
Maja looked at herself in the mirror–a miserable sight.
She had lost a lot of weight, her eyes were helpless. Her eyes were a little red from just throwing up.
“Carol, I’m okay. I’m at Rosewood Manor, Ms. Maria will take care of me. I just feel nauseous.”
As she said that, Maja paused and said, “I’m just nauseous.”
Carol was heartbroken. She didn’t understand why fate was always so unfair to Maja.
Maja lost her mother, Lillian, at a young age. She had to follow her father, Neil Pennyfeather, around for business.
She worked hard in her studies and married lan for the company, only to find out she was not Neil’s biological
daughter. Now she was burdened with the responsibilities of the Pennyfeather Group.
Carol suddenly got angry and said, “It’s just a guy. Like the Shawn Walsh I introduced you to. If you regret it, Til
have him over in no time”
Shawn was the spokesperson for the Miller family company. Before he became the spokesperson, the Miller family
checked his background. He was clean.
“Maja, I only introduce you to reliable people. Shawn is very disciplined, handsome, and has an eight pack. If he can
make you happy, I’ll have the Miller family fully support him. You’ll be his sugar mommy Shawn Walsh is a good guy,
and he’s not in a good situation right now, given his lack of background.”
He’s easy to control, too.
