Chapter 16 Extraordinarily Envious
Even if she escapes now, she will face it later. She still needed to give her an explanation!
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Claire put down Molly's hand and said seriously, "Miss Molly, I don't know what you are thinking about me now, but I hope you can believe me. It really has nothing to do with me. The only prescription was an abortion drug. At that time, I didn't know you were pregnant. You should ask who designed the prescription. "
What she said was true. It was related to the guests' privacy, so she couldn't ask too much details. If Molly really wanted to know the truth, she'd better investigate it by herself. She, Claire, had a clear conscience!
But for Molly, what Claire said seemed to be flaunting something.
Molly became angry from shame, she stretched out her hand and slapped on Claire's face. Then she scolded, "You finally dare to admit it, don't you? You took the aborticide and gave it to me. You even wanted to frame others. I tell you, if Henry hadn't stopped me, I would have already taken you to court! Don't think that I dare not do anything to you because Henry is protecting you! When Henry gets tired of you, you will die! "
As she spoke, Molly even wanted to push herself up. Claire's face turned pale in an instant. She covered her belly tightly and turned around subconsciously, trying to reduce the impact.
But to Claire's surprise, there was not only no pain at all, but also the sound of pouring water.
After being dull for a few seconds, Claire slowly turned around and looked at the smiling Molly. She was stunned for a moment. What happened? A second ago, Molly was so angry that she wanted to tear her into pieces. But the next second, she became so gentle and lovely.
When Claire was in a daze, Molly quickly poured two glasses of juice. Then she raised her sexy red lips and explained, "All right. I have vented my anger, but that doesn't mean I will forgive you. If you can't hold your position, I will stand up at any time to take it away. You'd better understand this! But I'm not an unreasonable person. If you want, we can still be friends. After all... We love the same man. Forgive me for being a little extreme just now. But if I didn't vent my anger, we can't have a good conversation now. Do you agree, Claire? "
While speaking, Molly took the initiative to take up a glass of juice and drank it up in front of Claire. She also poured her another glass, seeming to imply something.
Facing the capricious Molly, it was a lie for Claire not to be on her guard. After all, the atmosphere is always tense when rival lovers meet. Who could bear that her husband was taken away by another woman? Even Claire herself felt that she couldn't do it, let alone this petty woman.
Seeing the hesitation on Claire's face, Molly finally became impatient. She was unhappy and urged, "What? Don't you want to make friends with me, Claire? If you want to make friends with me, Molly, let's drink the juice. I made it myself this morning. Do you think I would work so hard if I didn't want Henry to be less angry? "
As she spoke, her eyes were red. Then she stretched out her hand and gently rubbed her eyes, as if she had said something sad.
Claire was frightened when she saw the tears on Molly's face. She didn't think too much. She agreed without hesitation. She reached out her hand and picked up the glass of juice that Molly had just poured. When she was about to put it into her mouth, there was a knock on the door of the hall.
Molly's heart skipped a beat. Before she came in, she had arranged for some people nearby. Who would suddenly come back at this time? Could it be Henry?
At the thought of this, Molly began to panic. If Henry knew that she tried her best to get Claire's child aborted, there would be no way for the two of them to get back together. It could be said that she took the risk, because she had also drunk that thing... If she was found guilty, she could pretend to be innocent and find a scapegoat at will.
Claire didn't think so much. She just held the glass of juice in her hand, smiled and took the initiative to say, "Miss Molly, please sit down for a while. I'll open the door."
Molly didn't say anything, which meant that she acquiesced in it. After all, she didn't have to open the door for others. If that person was Henry, it would be a different case. But now it was a special case. It would be bad if he found out something. They were so familiar with each other that they just looked at each other in the eye. Henry knew what she was up to!
It was James who came back from a walk in the early morning. He was stunned for a while, and then smiled brightly. "Oh, it's Claire. You're back? Didn't Henry go to the company? "
James subconsciously associated Claire with Henry. He believed that wherever Claire appeared, he would also be able to find Henry. However, Molly took in the words. Her face was pulled off in a split second. James used to love her very much, but after her child was gone, he seemed to have changed into another person, and sometimes he even chose to pretend to be ignorant.
Claire smiled awkwardly and explained, "Well, No. Henry went back to the company and said he had something to deal with, so he asked me to come back first. Grandpa, it's a little hot outside. You'd better come in first. It's easy to get sunstroke in this kind of weather. I'm sure you won't feel well then. "
As she spoke, Claire took the initiative to make way for him, and James's eyes inadvertently fell on the juice in Claire's hand. He smiled knowingly, then reached out his hand and took it over, laughing. "Henry really found a good granddaughter in law for me. Knowing that I am coming back to thirsty, you specially prepared fresh juice for me. If that bastard is as considerate as you, I will be satisfied! "
As he spoke, James drank up in one gulp. On the other side, Molly's face turned pale in an instant. If James drank it, something would happen! Her target was Claire, not James.
James's body was certainly not as good as that of young people, so once the drug took effect, it would really be unimaginable. In particular, Henry had always been respectful and loving to James. If he knew that it was she who had done it, the two of them would really be doomed!
If the matter was more serious, the relationship between the two families might get worse again. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Molly was so scared that she broke out in a sweat. She sprang up from the sofa and rushed to the direction of James, shouting, "Grandpa, you can't drink it! Grandpa, spit it out! "
But it was still too late even if Molly shouted like that. The juice was already in his stomach. How could she redeem it with only three or two words? Besides, the sudden shouting of Molly betrayed herself.
If she hadn't tampered with the juice, how could she be so upset? Although the drug hadn't taken effect yet, James felt something was wrong.
The expression on James's face froze for a moment. Then he turned to look at Molly and asked, "This juice... Did you make it? "
Molly's pale face seemed to confirm something. After all, James had watched Molly grow up. As an elder, how could he not understand what was on her mind?
With a livid face, James gripped the glass of juice tightly and forced a smile. "What the hell is going on? Claire, why are you with Molly? "
Didn't Claire know how dangerous Molly was now? She even drank juice with this woman. Wasn't it obvious that she was looking for trouble? Molly was a wicked woman. Only Claire dared to get so close to her.
Claire blinked her eyes and asked with fear, "What's wrong, Grandpa? Did I do something wrong? "
She had no idea why James' temperament had suddenly changed. Following his gaze, Claire finally looked at Molly. When she looked at the glass of juice, she seemed to understand something.
James put aside his usual magnanimous expression and asked with a hint of resentment. "Molly, I know you are not a bad person, but can you tell me what happened?"
Although he didn't get a direct answer from Molly, he had almost guessed it. If she hadn't done it, how could she look so guilty?
However, Claire was not in the mood to care about the dispute between the two of them. She just took the initiative to gently shake the juice, and then patiently sat on the sofa to study it. What was it that made Molly so panic?
