Chapter 326: Throw Her Off
After wrestling with guilt, Justin hurried to the hospital to see Meredith, calling her to find out which hospital she was in. He couldn’t concern himself with what might happen to Fiona now.
Meanwhile, upon hearing of Meredith’s accident, Bianca, just out of a meeting, rushed her driver to take her to the hospital. Joy Chaucer, observing Bianca’s concern, remarked, “Mom, aren’t you a bit too worried about her? She’s not our employee. It’s not our place to care.”
“Joy, how can you be so indifferent? Meredith is in trouble; of course, we must visit her,” Bianca replied. “The Chaucer and Sterling families have been close for generations. It would be improper not to show our faces.”
Reluctantly, Joy knew Bianca cared for Meredith more than she admitted, even if Meredith wasn’t marrying into the Sterling family. Unable to stop her, Joy thought it might be good for Bianca to check on the situation herself and confirm whether Meredith had indeed miscarried.
After Bianca left, Joy sat alone in the office, eyeing the chair that would inevitably be hers. Learning she wasn’t Bianca’s biological daughter had shifted her perspective; she knew she had to seize everything or end up with nothing. Her current status, solely because she was still a Chaucer, was all she had.
Distrusting both Bianca and Chloe, Joy’s eyes darkened-she wouldn’t let Chloe threaten her position. Chloe was like a ticking time bomb.
As she pondered, Joy’s phone rang. A friend alerted her: “Joy, your fiance is at Heavenly Pavilion, and he’s with two women. You should come. He’s your fiance; how can he do something like this?”
Furious, Joy, who previously ignored her fiance’s escapades, couldn’t let this slide now. “Alright, I know.”
She hung up and, with two bodyguards in tow, rushed to Heavenly Pavilion. There, Quinlan Aubrey was indeed enjoying himself with two women. With a single look, Joy cleared the room.
Quinlan Aubrey, somewhat fearful, said, “Joy Chaucer, what are you doing here? Spoiling the fun?”
Joy, terse and fierce, ordered her bodyguards, “Break his legs. Let’s see if he dares to fool around then.”
“Yes, miss,” the bodyguards complied, commencing their grim task.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Quinlan Aubrey’s screams filled the air.
With a chilling gaze, Joy warned him, “If you dare fool around with just any women again, I’ll cripple you completely. I don’t care if my fiance is a cripple, but you must not cheat-unless I decide to kick you out myself.”
Joy didn’t love Quinlan Aubrey; she loved the prestige he brought. She would keep him until she fully controlled the Chaucer family; then she would be free to discard him.
Meanwhile, at a deserted factory in the capital.
At the roof, Fiona, supported by two bodyguards, faced Terrence Sterling’s icy questioning, “This is your last chance. Did you tamper with the formula Justin sent Meredith?”
Originally waiting for Justin at the place she was working, Fiona didn’t expect Terrence to track her down so swiftly and took her to this desolate, soon-to-be-demolished factory.
Stunned by Terrence’s discovery, Fiona feigned ignorance, “Mr. Sterling, I don’t know what you’re talking about. What formula? What did I do?”
“Not talking?” A lethal glint crossed Terrence’s eyes. “Throw her off!”
