Chapter 214

While Joanne was feeling joyful looking at Rowane's photo, Lily was also looking at the same image of Rowane. However, she wasn't looking at it alone. Deborah was beside her as well.

The mother and daughter had moved out from the Cook family. They stayed comfortably in the premium ward in a private hospital. Deborah had been taking a shower when Joanne called Lily. When she came out from the bathroom, she noticed Lily's solemn expression and asked who had called her just now.

Lily once brought up to Deborah about Joanne wanting to cooperate with her before. So, she wouldn't hide the call from her and immediately shared her phone conversation with Joanne to Deborah.

"What a coincidence that Joanne met Rowane in Mencodia," Deborah knew that Marie had sent Rowane overseas, but she did not realize that Marie had hired an assassin to kill Rowane. Marie sent her to Mencodia because she was afraid that Rowane would spill the truth about their scheme involving Edric and Lily. She did not want her to contact Edric in any way. She failed to know that Marie would think Lily was her own biological daughter, and that Rowane was her daughter instead. Marie was afraid that she would be caught for swapping the babies out years ago. Hence, she wanted to kill Rowane.

Lily said, "Yeah, I did not expect that too. However, it's a good thing. Since Joanne is planning to defeat Irene, she plans to use Rowane as leverage to help us, which could save us a lot of trouble."

Deborah frowned, "Is Joanne reliable? I feel rather anxious about her since she's also Nathan's younger sister. If she tells Nathan about this, won't we be in trouble once he tells Irene?"

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this. Joanne is Jordan's fiancee, and she hates Irene. Otherwise, she wouldn't have told me about Irene getting pregnant with Edric's child and helped me to come out with ideas to deal with Irene. Although Edric has already misunderstood Irene and refuses to forgive her because of his mother's case, their relationship had initially run deep. Both Eden and the child in Irene now are his flesh. What if he forgives Irene one day? It's better if we keep on acting offensive so that Irene will leave Edric once and for all."

Deborah thought for a moment and agreed, "You're right. We should prepare another helping hand, but you need to remind Joanne to never let Nathan contact Rowane. Otherwise, something bad might happen."

Lilu chuckled, "Don't worry, Mom. Joanne clearly knows about Nathan's feelings for Irene. She wouldn't be so stupid to let Nathan ruin our plans."

Deborah nodded, but she intended to find some time to talk to Marie about the matter. She wanted to know her opinion about it. With Marie's help, they were getting closer and closer to their goal. Hence, she admired Marie and wanted to discuss everything with her. Steven was hospitalized from his sudden blackout. At that moment of chaos, no one had found the letter he had thrown on the ground until Maisy did while cleaning the study room. When she read the contents of the letter, Maisy was taken aback and understood why Steven had fainted.

Maisy sealed her lips and waited for Irene to not be present before asking Steven. Maisy had served the Cook family for many years, and she was loyal to Steven. So, Steven did not bother hiding it from her either. He instructed Maisy to not mention it to anyone, especially Irene. He wanted to think of his plan to punish Deborah.

Maisy sensed Steven's anxiety. If Irene knew about this matter, she would not let Deborah go and instead make the matter public. If that ever happened, Steven's career would be affected. So, the matter needed to be carried out in secret.

Maisy asked Steven about his plan to punish Deborah, so Steven shared it with her. Firstly, he needed to lock Deborah up and interrogate her before punishing her.

Just as Steven was telling Maisy about how he was going to deal with Deborah, Deborah and Lily both started to feel uncomfortable at the private hospital. Was something terrible going to happen?

Just as they were thinking about it, Steven's driver arrived. He reported that Steven had fainted suddenly and wanted Deborah to visit him.
