She Got A Better Man

Chapter 173

"I don't think so. That child was already sick and needed long-term medication and rest. The Miller family still needs Carmen for their purposes, so they wouldn't go as far as to harr her daughter. I suspect the kid's death was caused by negligence." Zach speculated. It wasn't a hard conclusion to draw. The Miller family planned to use the child to force Carmen into submission. Keeping the child alive was the best leverage they had. If the child died, it would be harder to control Carmen. Therefore, Zach gathered the child's death was accidental.

He had already investigated and found that the child suffered from a genetic illness. Her death was only a matter of time.

"Even so, it's the Miller family's fault! If it weren't for their cruel schemes, Carmen and her daughter could've had many more years together. They're so despicable!" Elvira clenched her fists in rage.

"I shouldn't have told you this. I didn't want you to get upset." Zach held her close and kissed her. He knew she was to soft-hearted to bear such news.

Elvira sighed and said, "I's not just this. I encountered something not very pleasant today too, but forget it. Let's try to stay positive. By the way, did my mom bring her stepdaughter here to see you?"

"The staff downstairs informed me, but I turned them away and gave orders that neither of them is allowed to enter the company again," Zach explained, intentionally keeping it brief to avoid upsetting her further.

Elvira said, "I doubt they'll give up so easily. You should be careful and make sure they don't sneak in to cause trouble." She knew Sandy wasn't the type to stop until she got what she wanted. "Alright, I'll assign more security. If those two still manage to sneak in, the guards might as well quit and find another job." Zach said with a chuckle, pulling the woman into his arms.

Elvira felt a little melancholic. She wrapped her arms around his neck and apologized, "I'm really sorry that my family has caused you trouble."

"Don't say that. I'm your family. Those people don't deserve to be called your family," Zach said with a frown and corrected

her.

His words made Elvira's heart melt. "You're right. The only ones I see as family now are you, Tracy, Skylar, Alice... and that annoying Marsh. I couldn't care less about anyone else, but they'll still try to stir up trouble for you." "I'm not afraid of trouble. When it comes to you, it's not trouble. It's a sweet burden," Zach said before leaning in to kiss her.

Elvira smiled, and her eyes were filled with love. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Sherry had arrived with their lunch.

Zach called for the secretary to enter. Sherry brought in a beautifully arranged meal
