Chapter 382

Bella's POV

That afternoon, after delivering documents to my client. I got off work early and went home.

The living room was quiet. When I went to the bedroom, I saw that Lucky was still sleeping on the baby bed and Lucas had not returned home from school yet.

Glancing at my cute daughter, I gently closed the door

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone talking gently. It was from the kitchen,

I smelled the aroma of the stewed soup. I knew that Miranda was making soup, so Gary must be beside her to help out.

I wanted to turn around and go upstairs, but what they were talking about suddenly stopped me.

"Caroline died at such a young age. She's quite pitiful It's said that she doesn't have any family or friends around her. Mr. Wharton was the one who arranged her funeral. This was Gary's voice. "She's indeed pitiful, but she deserves it! Miranda suddenly lowered her voice

"Didn't she just want to chase Miss Stepanek away and take her place here? She doesn't deserve to die just because of this, right?" Gary was puzzled

"What do you know? I'll only tell you about this Don't tell anyone! Miranda instructed.

"Just tell me. I won't tell anyone else Gary promised repeatedly

Then, Miranda started to talk "I was the one who took care of Miss Stepanek when she was pregnant One day, Mr Whartons mother suddenly found me and asked me to report every single movement of Miss Stepanek to her I didn't think much of it at that time I knew that Mr Wharton's mother was never satisfied with her daughter-in-law, and she probably wanted to play tricks on her After all, I used to serve her, so I could only do as she said I didnt expect Mr. Wharton's mother to tell Caroline about all this Once, Caroline broke into Miss Stepanek's house and humiliated her. She even said that she was the one Mr Wharton liked, deliberately making Miss Stepanek very angry!" "As far as I know, Mr. Wharton isn't a fickle person. She was definitely talking nonsense." Gary analyzed. "She was! It was probably because Mr. Wharton's mother liked Caroline better, so she joined forces to suppress Miss Stepanek. There was something even worse. When Miss Stepanek was sent to the hospital due to her baby's premature birth. Caroline used some tricks to get Miss Stepanek's close male friend's number and called him there. And this close friend of Miss Stepanek happened to run into Mr. Wharton Miss Stepanek's close male friend once pursued her. As soon as Mr. Wharton arrived, he misunderstood. The two of them started fighting in the hospital. Caroline was vicious and Mr. Wharton's mother was foolish. She slandered that the child in Miss Stepanek's belly wasn't Mr. Wharton's. How could a proud person like Mr. Wharton be able to take this? In addition, at that

time, Mr. Wharton had always been angry with Miss Stepanek, so in the end, they divorced." Miranda said.

Hearing this, I, who was standing outside, was stunned!

I knew that Caroline wanted to take over my position at that time, but I never dreamed that she would unite with Herbert's mother to deal with me.

No wonder Herbert lied that the child was dead. It turned out that he misunderstood me at that time.

My hand was clenched into a fist. No wonder Caroline wanted to apologize to me face to face. She couldn't die in peace after doing the bad things. What Herbert's mother did was even more unacceptable.

Because if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been separated from Lucas. Maybe Lucas wouldn't have suffered from leukemia and got tortured so badly later.

"If that's the case, it seems as though it really is retribution for Caroline. However, Mr. Wharton's mother is simply too despicable. How could she treat Miss Stepanek like this?" Gary complained. Miranda sighed and said, "Actually, Mr. Wharton's mother has her own thoughts. She looks down on Miss Stepanek's background and wanted to replace a rich lady for Mr. Wharton, but Mr. Wharton didn't like her." "Is Mr. Wharton the one who's going to live with Miss Stepanek or his mother? What an evil mother in-law!" Gary was picking out food while venting his dissatisfaction. “Actually, I feel very guilty as well. Seeing that Miss Stepanek had suffered so much over the past few years, I wanted to tell her but I didn't dare. Mr. Wharton's mother threatened me with my son. My son, that rascal, had a lot of gambling debts. Mr. Wharton's mother helped me pay the debt. She did me a favor, so I couldn't be ungrateful. Alas, I really couldn't sleep well in the past few years." Miranda blamed herself very much. "As servants, we can't get involved in our masters' affairs at all. You can't do anything about it. Don't think too much." As soon as Gary finished speaking, he began to comfort Miranda. Hearing this, I lifted my foot and went upstairs gently.

Closing the door and leaning against the door, I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Even if Herbert's mother didn't like me, she didn't need to use such a despicable strategy, did she?

But she was, after all, Herbert's mother. It was impossible for me not to see her in the future. Thinking of this, I felt a headache.

Herbert's mother was not satisfied with me. In the future, she would definitely think of more ways to deal with me.

I couldn't let her bully me. I would definitely fight back. Would we become enemies?

But if we had a head-on conflict, my children might be the ones who were hurt the most. For the sake of my family. I must stay away from Herbert's mother with my children!
