Chapter 143 Overheard

Elizabeth explained, “If I could, Cassie, I would go all out to get rid of Amelia’s baby. However, you’ll be Olivia’s first suspect if Amelia loses her baby at this juncture. Don’t forget that Olivia treats Amelia like her own daughter.”

Upon hearing this, Cassie became exceedingly desolate.

After moments of silence, she wailed uncontrollably and tossed the pillows around like a mad woman.

“Why? Why? Why?”

Elizabeth tried to console her with a hug. “Calm down, Cassie. Your wounds might split open. You’ve just had a miscarriage, so don’t get too agitated. Stay calm all right? Breathe… Your Dad and I will talk to Oscar, okay? Don’t worry.”

Cassie buried her head in her arms and bawled her eyes out. Her emotions were very unstable and pulled her wound.

Elizabeth tried to hold her down and stop her from moving around. “Be still, Cassie. I’m here. If you really want to get rid of Amelia’s child, I’ll see to it and make sure that nobody knows about it.”

It was only then did Cassie finally regained her composure.

“Mom, will you really do it for me?”

As a transient shadow of sorrow passed over Elizabeth’s face, she cast a conflicting look at Cassie. “I’m your Mom. Don’t you feel bad for tricking me into doing such a thing for you?”

“I’m sorry, Mom. I’m just scared. Amelia’s child is a big threat to me. The baby will only bring her closer to Oz. I’ll only have peace once it’s gone.”

Suddenly, Elizabeth felt that her own daughter had become so distant and strange that she no longer knew her anymore.

The Yards are a prominent family that values customary rites, good etiquettes, and virtues. Although it can be quite complicated when socializing with people from all sorts of backgrounds, the need to scheme and plot is definitely out of the question.

She did not expect her own daughter to come up with such underhanded plans. Cassie had turned into a person that she was no longer familiar with. She had never wanted to see Cassie grow up naively in her own ivory tower. Yet, she had never wanted Cassie to turn into someone so cunning and manipulative.

“Cassie, you’ve changed too much. I feel so distant from you now,” Elizabeth was very honest.

She quickly held Elizabeth’s hands. “Mom, I’m still your sweet little girl.”
