Chapter 1509

Mrs. Lucas showed no sympathy as she watched Jamie break down in tears. Her only concern was securing the recording to help clear Ben's name.

But Jamie's emotional state made Mrs. Lucas suspicious. "Why does everything line up so perfectly?" she questioned.

Jamie raised her hand as if swearing an oath. "I ran into Caden while working a part-time job, and the recording was pure luck. Mrs. Lucas, I'd never joke about my own son's safety." Jamie's firm tone, coupled with her tear-streaked face, carried an air of desperation.

As a woman and a mother herself, Mrs. Lucas could read Jamie's emotions clearly. But deep inside, a new thought began to form.

If Jamie's child were gone, it would break Jamie completely. If she were to lose her mind or even die from the grief, how could Ben possibly continue to hold on to any lingering feelings for her? Mrs. Lucas's resolve hardened as an idea took root.

"Give me the recording," she said, her tone steady. "I'll make sure something is done to help your son."

As Jamie handed over her phone, a sudden sense of unease struck her. She froze, her instincts kicking in.

"You wouldn't agree so easily unless you had an ulterior motive," Jamie said, her voice trembling. "I know you want me gone, out of Ben's life for good."
