Chapter 181
“You can’t arrest me, I’m pregnant.”
As she expected, the police just left surveillance personnel behind and left.
The moment the door slammed shut, Matilda exploded again.
She flipped over the living room coffee table, the sound of porcelain shattering mixed with her screams, echoing in the villa.
Suddenly, she remembered something and rushed upstairs like crazy.
She opened the dressing table drawer, opened the brocade box, and inside lay a warm jade pendant.
It was given to Roderick by his mother before she passed away.
“Auntie said that I should become the Hodgson family’s daughter–in-
law…”
She muttered to herself, with a strange smile playing on her lips.
“I want to see Roderick!”
Matilda rushed up to Caroline, her eyes bloodshot.
Caroline was so scared that she couldn’t react.
Marvin frowned.
“You look like a ghost now, how could he possibly see you!”
“I definitely had a way.”

She grabbed her mother’s phone and quickly edited a text message.
“Roderick, your mother’s jade pendant is here with Matilda. Since we are calling this off, why don’t you come to the Turner family now and take your things back?”
Matilda stared at her phone screen, waited anxiously for half an hour, and only then did the other person reply.
Roderick’s reply was short and cold.
“Tomorrow night at 10 o’clock, Obsidian Diner private room.”
Seeing the message, she started laughing hysterically.
Caroline looked at her daughter’s sinister expression and couldn’t help but shiver.
This spoiled daughter, like a trapped animal, was desperately searching for a way out in the moment of crisis.
But she completely ignored the already crumbling Turner family and the life she had destroyed with her own hands.
“Matilda, Roderick refused to come, there are police outside guarding, you can’t go out.”
“Pretending to be sick!”
Matilda looked fierce.
“Just when I was bleeding heavily during pregnancy and needed to go to the hospital for a check–up, Dad drove to distract the people
watching us, and Mom, you stayed with me…
Her voice suddenly dropped.

“As long as I could see him, I could make him soften up.”
Marvin shook his head.
“Nonsense! Now everyone is criticizing you online, going out is just asking for trouble!”
“The Turner family was just waiting to go bankrupt!”
Matilda grabbed the vase and slammed it on the ground, then doubled over in pain, clutching her stomach.
“My stomach hurts!”
Even though she knew she was acting, Caroline still got scared and turned pale.
“Matilda!”
The surveillance personnel heard a knock at the door. Matilda curled up in Caroline’s arms, blood seeping through her fingers.
That was red ink she secretly applied.
“Hurry up! Move aside, we need to go to the hospital!”
Caroline was crying and yelling, Marvin had already started the car waiting at the door.
The surveillance personnel hesitated for a moment, but eventually caught up with the convoy.
They were driving crazily on the road, no matter how fast they accelerated or changed lanes, the black car in the rearview mirror kept chasing them relentlessly.
They had no choice but to drive to the hospital first.

Matilda was sitting paralyzed in the back seat, the blood underneath her had already dyed the beige car seat a bright crimson.
She had an angry look on her face, struggling to kick open the car door, and yelling at her parents.
“Useless, can’t even shake off a few tails! Roderick must be waiting impatiently over there, it’s all your fault!”
She was emotional, her chest heaving up and down.
Caroline was freaking out, looking at the blood under her daughter, her voice trembling.
