Chapter 490 The Trap

Damian explained everything, recounting how Jeffrey and Carl had been working in secret, investigating Alisa and trying to expose those supporting her.

They knew she was not acting alone and had planned to reveal the network behind her.

Apparently, Alisa had been trying to keep her pregnancy viable until six months, when medical

intervention could give her baby a chance.

She was just two weeks shy of that mark and had been staying secluded in her room.

However, Jeffrey made a cold decision. He added a miscarriage-inducing drug to her late-night snack, ensuring the child would not survive.

As harsh as it was, he could not allow a child from someone with such malicious intent to threaten the family in the future.

Alisa panicked when she realized she was losing the baby. Too afraid to alert anyone in the household, she secretly contacted her people to help her.

What she did not know was that Jeffrey had set a trap. Her attempts to fix the situation only led to the exposure of those aiding her.

The plan was flawless. I could not help but admire how well it was executed, though I regretted not witnessing it unfold myself.

"And the baby?" I asked, feeling a mix of emotions.

Damian shook his head. "It was too early-barely five and a half months. The baby didn't survive long enough to take its first breath."

Alisa had fought so hard to save that baby. Just half a month more, and it might have lived.

I remembered how she once told me it was a girl, and I could tell she had been sincere about her hope for her child.
