Tabitha was a little surprised. “Is there any evidence for this?”
Trevor explained, “Last year, a friend of mine happened to be working as a bartender at the nightclub and saw Naomi bring Sylvie there for a drink. When Sylvie got drunk, Pierre came over. After that, Sylvie accepted a few. pieces of jewelry and half–heartedly did the deed.”
Then, he spread out his hands and continued, “But a bartender telling this story isn’t enough to be a testimony. After all, there are some details that he hasn’t seen with his own eyes.””
Tabitha was a little disappointed. “Anyway, thank you.”
She put the materials away and said to Trevor, “Can you please send the documents to two separate email addresses?”
After hearing her spell out the addresses, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “No problem.”
Beatrice had been a bit frustrated these days.
She and her husband were in the middle of filing for divorce. After the matter of Sylvie’s miscarriage blew up, Beatrice and Pierre’s marriage, which existed in name only, could no longer be sustained.
Pierre brazenly wanted to get a bigger share of the assets. When Beatrice didn’t agree to it, he brought up Sylvie’s miscarriage.
At the mention of Sylvie’s miscarriage, Beatrice went ballistic with rage.
‘How dare Tabitha use me to deal with Naomi? I can’t take this lying down,” she thought.
While she was thinking about how to take revenge against Tabitha, the housekeeper suddenly came in with a file bag. “Mrs. Weiss, this express

delivery is for you.”
Beatrice took it and opened it. Her expression immediately twisted.
It turned out that Naomi was the one who sent her the information in
secret, not Tabitha.
Naomi was also involved in planting the homewrecker by Pierre’s side.
Beatrice recalled that Naomi had pretended to comfort Sylvie in the hospital ward and then put the blame on Tabitha. In an instant, she was furious.
“That little whore! How dare she fool me and even try to shift the blame? Disgusting!‘ she cursed inwardly.
Although Beatrice had a strong personality, she was straightforward and frank. Since she had misunderstood Tabitha, she did not hesitate and immediately called Tabitha.
“I’ve looked at the information you sent me and know the truth now. I apologize for misunderstanding you earlier and saying unpleasant things,” she explained.
Tabitha sent the information merely to avoid making too many enemies. She didn’t expect that Beatrice would call to apologize.
She quickly said, “Mrs. Weiss, there’s no need to apologize. We are all
victims.”
Beatrice was slightly moved.
‘Tabitha’s family had also been destroyed because of that homewrecker. And she’s extremely scheming, she thought.
She comforted her with a touch of compassion as they were in the same boat. “If you need my help in the future, just ask.”
Chapter 14
Tabitha thanked Beatrice, hung up the phone, and put on her coat. She had to go for a prenatal check–up at the hospital.
Today was the day Sylvie would be discharged from the hospital.
When she was packing, Naomi suddenly said, “Sylvie, I saw Tabitha when I was handling the formalities for you just now.”
Sylvie’s face instantly turned gloomy. “What is she doing in the hospital?”
“I think she’s here for a prenatal check–up. It’s in the obstetrics and gynecology department on the second floor of this building,” Naomi explained. “When I came back, I saw her sitting on a chair in the waiting area. She should be waiting for the result…”
Her eyes flickered, and she whispered, “Sylvie, if your child were still alive, they’d definitely be very healthy.”
Sylvie’s anger finally reached its peak. She suddenly picked up the fruit knife she bought two days ago, hid it in her sleeve, and rushed to the second floor.
Naomi had a small smirk on her lips, but she shouted anxiously, “Sylvie, what are you doing? Don’t do anything rash!”
Sylvie soon found Tabitha in the waiting area on the second floor. With reddened eyes, she yelled, “Tabitha, give my child back to me!”
She rushed toward Tabitha as she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Several pregnant women screamed and ran away when they saw her holding a sharp fruit knife.
