Chapter 219 Chapter 219: Did He Suspect You Of Your Fake Pregnancy?
“It’s Tim, right? Why do you hide your relationship from others?” Gretchen interrupted their conversation as she went downstairs. She had changed her clothes, and the wound on her calf had been treated.
Hearing this, York frowned slightly and asked Estelle, “Your boyfriend is really Tim? The youngest son of the Roberts family?”
“No,” Estelle denied and continued to eat the sandwiches.
After pondering for a while, York said, “No wonder Melody always asked me if there is any young talent as rich and powerful as Cristofer in Hadale. It turned out to be because of this... The Roberts family is an established family in Hadale. If you are with Tim, it will be helpful for our company in the future. But I heard that Tim is not in a good relationship with his family...”
Speaking of this, he shifted his gaze towards Estelle and observed her calmly and leisurely enjoying her breakfast.
Then he contemplated, ‘Tim didn’t want to take charge of the family business and insisted on setting up his own jewelry design company. And to everyone’s surprise, his company develops well.’
‘Only Love Jewelry became famous and popular a few days ago for designing the garments’ accessories shown at Katrina’s launch event. It can be seen that Tim is quite outstanding.’
‘Since Estelle is with Tim, who is also powerful, then it doesn’t matter whether Cristofer marries Gretchen or not.’
Seeing York’s sly look, Estelle smiled with an imperceptible glint of mockery in her eyes.
Then she remembered the message Mr. Mysterious sent her a few days ago--- ‘Break them up and defeat them one by one.’
York, Melody, and Gretchen were of one mind. In such a situation, it was impossible for Estelle to enter the company easily.
Even if she took advantage of the shares given by her father and joined the board of directors, she would be marginalized by York and have no real power to make decisions on the company affairs.
Therefore, she deliberately cast a bone between York and Melody and then took advantage of the opportunity to gain York’s trust so that she could enter the company and carry out her plan smoothly.
After she entered the company, she would try to take charge of the core business, which was the lifeblood of the company, and get the customer resources.
York’s reaction today was beyond her expectation.
She had only wanted York to distrust Melody. But it was pleasantly surprising that she made York not only distrust Melody but also be disgusted with her.
In the meantime, Melody remained seated on the ground, refraining from speaking a word out of fear that anything she said might provoke York once more. Lost in her thoughts, she contemplated the situation at hand.
‘York is a cold-blooded person. He even cruelly drove out his sister, who supported and helped him. If I make him angry again, he will be very likely to drive me and Gretchen out.’
‘It was not easy for me to become a rich lady in the upper class. I can’t let my good life be destroyed.’
‘As long as York doesn’t want to divorce me, I’ll still have a chance to win his heart. Then I will try to get all his property…’
“Mom...” At this time, Gretchen came over and helped her up.
Glaring at her with hatred, Melody shook off her arm, tried her best to hold back her anger, and said with gritted teeth, “Come with me.”
Then she pulled Gretchen and walked away.
“Auntie Melody, don’t you wanna have breakfast?” Estelle raised her voice and asked.
Without replying to her, Melody and Gretchen walked faster.
Melody pulled Gretchen to the guest room at the end of the corridor to ensure York and Estelle couldn’t hear their conversation. Then she loosened her grip on Gretchen’s arm and closed the door.
After entering the room, Gretchen, who had a guilty conscience, apologized immediately, “Mom, I know I was wrong. But I had no choice at that time. My face can’t be disfigured! Estelle is an absolute lunatic! She poured the hot water on me! Look at my calf! It’s scalded!”
“Estelle was well prepared before she came,” Melody said with a cold and fierce look in her eyes, “Humph. Now she is with Tim and has become as arrogant as him!”
Gretchen sighed and thought life was unfair. “Is Tim blind? What’s good about Estelle?”
“There’s no point in talking about this. They have been with each other. Without Tim backing her up, Estelle wouldn’t have dared to break into our house alone and threaten you,” Melody said coldly.
“Then what should we do now? We can’t afford to offend Tim. But we can’t let ourselves be at the mercy of Estelle and do nothing about it!” Gretchen’s voice filled with worries.
Melody composed herself and inquired, “Have you and Cristofer decided on a wedding date?”
“No. But we’ve agreed that we would get married after he divorces Estelle.”
“Did he suspect you of your fake pregnancy?” Melody inquired immediately.
“I don’t know. It seems that he doesn’t care whether I’m pregnant or not. He only cares about Estelle. He has to agree to marry me to let me donate my lungs to Estelle. The child is not important to him.”
Melody pondered and said, “That’s good. Estelle is his soft spot. If you take advantage of this and let him marry you, you will get half of his property after getting married. Even if you two divorce later, you will gain a large sum of money. When we have money, we can enjoy a rich and free life abroad.”
“Mom, Estelle is returning to the Hudson Group. I’m concerned that she might regain control of the company,” Gretchen expressed with worry.
Upon hearing this, Melody sneered and retorted, “I won’t allow her to succeed. It’s challenging to accomplish something, but it’s effortless to ruin it.”
In the dining room, York finished the breakfast prepared by Estelle with a darkened face.
Noticing his expression, Estelle knew that he was still angry with Melody about her affair with other men.
She stood up leisurely, put the tableware into the dishwasher, and pressed the power button.
“Uncle York, aren’t you going to see how Auntie Melody is? She loves you so much and must be very sad now,” she suggested.
As she expected, York burst with anger at once. “She made me a laughingstock in the elite circle! I’m the one who should be sad!”
‘Sure enough, what York cared about most was always himself,’ Estelle thought.
Since she had reached her goal, she was quite satisfied and felt much relieved.
