Chapter 51: Distrust

ผู้เขียน: Odette e Odile
Sophie’s POV:

When I asked that, Kenneth smiled.

“You heard already? News travels fast.”

As he spoke, Kenneth glanced in the direction Grace had gone after being called to Nora.

“A loose tongue is never a good thing.”

My heart skipped.

This is bad.

A warning sign.

Kenneth turned back to me with a stern expression.

“Perhaps Ms. Keller doesn’t understand who the head of this household is.”

I gave a strained smile.

Kenneth’s expression remained severe.

“Sophie, you were the one who brou

  • He Chose Her the Night I Miscarried. Now He’s on His Knees   Chapter 100: Ghost Jack

    Evelyn’s POV:The next morning, I got ready to leave in my hotel room.“Evelyn, whatever you do, don’t meet Sophie face-to-face,” Lucas said.“I know.”When I said that, Lucas came over and pulled me into his arms.“I mean it. Please don’t do anything dangerous.”I rested my cheek against his chest.“I’ll be fine. I promise.”We had arranged for the Parker estate to contact Lucas, but it was still better to head out early.We left the hotel room and headed toward the lobby.“Call me if anything happens,” Lucas said.I nodded.“I will.”Inside my bag was the fake Queen of Desire for the switch.This time, we were not transferring the data from Sophie’s phone.Even so, Nathan had told us Sophie’s password, just in case.Then Lucas held something out to me.“What is this?”I asked as I accepted it.In my palm was something that looked like a thumb-sized USB drive.“Take it, just in case.”Lucas looked at me.“This is Ghost Jack.”I repeated the words.“Ghost Jack?”

  • He Chose Her the Night I Miscarried. Now He’s on His Knees   Chapter 99: The Night Before

    Evelyn’s POV:Oliver Shaw.Adrian Shaw had a son.And that son had written a paper warning about the dangers of Queen of Desire, which used the benzodiazepine-type substance his own father had created.“Where is Oliver Shaw now?”When I asked, Lucas said, “Missing.”A chill ran through me.“Missing?”Lucas operated his computer as he answered.“As far as we can confirm, he still existed up until three years ago, when this paper was published. After that, officially, he went away to recover.”Officially, he went away to recover.Something about the way Lucas said it felt ominous.“What does that mean?”“It means no one has actually met Oliver. Not a single person in these past three years.”I fell into thought.The son of the chair of the Ethics Review Committee at the Eisenberg Medical Strategy Organization.That son had written and published a paper that was practically an accusation against his own father.If I were Adrian, what would I do?I would undoubtedly bury

  • He Chose Her the Night I Miscarried. Now He’s on His Knees   Chapter 98: What Was Reclaimed

    Evelyn’s POV:I finished entering Mr. Sterling’s data.Thinking back, I had come to St. Catherine because I was asked to perform Mr. Sterling’s surgery.But now, it felt like that too had been some kind of guidance.Right beside me, Lucas was preparing what we needed to transfer the data from Sophie’s phone.“Speaking of which,” Lucas said.“Hm?”Lucas smiled faintly.“I’m the head of the Eisenberg Medical Strategy Organization, and I’m here now. I should probably pay a visit to the local branch, shouldn’t I?”Only then did it occur to me.“Now that you mention it, yes.”When I laughed, Lucas laughed too.“I’ve never been to the local branch. It might be worth inspecting how things work inside.”There was also the matter of Adrian Shaw.If it became known that Adrian, despite being the chair of the Ethics Review Committee at the local branch, had taken an unapproved drug like Queen of Desire out of EMSO and used it illegally, it would be a serious blow.We needed to know

  • He Chose Her the Night I Miscarried. Now He’s on His Knees   Chapter 97: Positioning

    Grace’s POV:A message had come in.‘Ms. Keller, have you arrived at the Bennett house? If you think you can get out, I’d like to meet and talk.’That was what it said.The old me would have found some excuse to leave the Bennett house and go meet Sophie.Why had I spent so much time on Sophie so blindly?I still did not understand it myself.Now, how should I reply?After thinking for a moment, I typed out a response.‘Miss Dawson, thank you for inviting me. However, it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to leave the Bennett house.’That was all I wrote before sending it.I would have to report this to Miss Carter and Nathan too.---Evelyn’s POV:“I heard from Julian,” Lucas said.“What did he say?”“The laser treatment appointment is tomorrow.”The timing was almost impressive.It felt as though everything was falling into place.“Then it was worth rushing to make it,” I said.Lucas laughed.“It was.”We entered the room I used at St. Catherine.“What are we doing

  • He Chose Her the Night I Miscarried. Now He’s on His Knees   Chapter 96: Good Omens and Bad Omens

    Evelyn’s POV:After hearing Grace volunteer, Lucas and I looked at each other and nodded.“In that case, we’ll be relying on you,” I said.“Understood.”There was not the slightest hesitation in Grace’s voice.“I’ll prepare what we need to transfer the data,” Lucas said, then left the room.Grace and I followed him.---Sophie’s POV:After booking my appointment at Hayes Clinic, I walked with my eyes lowered.I could not stop thinking about the dark spots I had just noticed around my eyes.I’m supposed to be beautiful.I had my breasts done, and I changed my face little by little so no one would notice.I got into the car and told the driver, “Take me back to the Parker estate.”The car started moving.The Parker family was not truly wealthy, but at least they could afford a car.If I could not even use a car here, there would be no point in staying at the Parker estate at all.I took a hand mirror out of my bright red Illumi bag and looked at the spots near my eyes.T

  • He Chose Her the Night I Miscarried. Now He’s on His Knees   Chapter 95: Volunteering

    Evelyn’s POV:“Sophie took the bait,” Lucas said.“She already went to Julian?” I asked.Lucas nodded.“Yes. Apparently, the specially formulated dark spot cream did its job.”I smiled.Knowing Sophie, there was no way she could tolerate dark spots around her eyes.“It sounds like they’ll start laser treatment soon, but not today.”I let out a relieved breath.“Julian knows that world inside and out,” Lucas said with a laugh.“Knows it inside and out?”Lucas nodded.“If you give someone what they want right away, they won’t appreciate it, will they?”I smiled faintly.“So he’s making her wait.”“Exactly.”Suddenly, the phone Nathan was holding rang.Nathan looked at the screen and smiled.“I’ve been called in.”He was looking at the hospital phone used for emergency calls.“An emergency patient?” I asked.Nathan nodded.“Yes, apparently. If they’re calling me from neurosurgery, it’s probably a stroke or a subarachnoid hemorrhage.”As he said that, Nathan looked a
