Chapter 235 

Elaine squinted her eyes, a sly grin on her lips. She had once used a bout of depression as a cover, bribing the doctors to administer drugs covertly, plotting the demise of the 

unsuspecting

But now Whitney was prepared to burn her bridges? Tonight would mark her end

Director,Elaine’s voice was smooth as ice, delay sending the surveillance footage of Tiana breaking in to Ludwik. Wait for my sayso. And make sure any trace of me here is wiped clean.” 

The Director, considering the lucrative deal promised by Bartels Hospital and the future Mrs. Lippert, had no choice but to nod in agreement

Whitney huddled in the car, gasping for air

Are you okay, sweetheart?Tiana asked, her hands shaking as she started the car

Drivefast.Whitney clutched her belly, pain in her voice. They injected me with something to induce premature birth. The baby might have been affected.” 

That damned Elaine,Tiana cursed as she floored the accelerator. We’ll meet up with the girl, grab the evidence, and then confront that scumbag Ludwik!” 

The car sped down the mountainside

Valerie’s call came through. Tiana, did you get Whitney? Bad newsI heard Ludwik’s gone on an unexpected business trip down south. Something about a company emergency. What do we do now?” 

Tiana paused, a frown creasing her forehead

Don’t worry,Whitney said, trying to keep calm despite her distress. It might be better that he’s not in Banyan City. We’ll take the girl and go south.” 

They both knew Elaine could sabotage their plans at any turn

You shouldn’t be traveling in your condition,Tiana said as they drove. I’ve hidden the girl nearby, just in casein case something happened to you.” 

Half an hour later, they arrived at a quaint lodge nestled at the mountain’s base. The girl was hiding in one of the cottages

Tiana helped Whitney out of the car and hurried to unlock the door. Inside stood a fraillooking girl, her fear evident as she stood up. Ms. Melford.” 

Come on, we need to leave. Now.” 

The girl ran to them, and the three women burst out into the night, racing towards the caronly 

to be blinded by flashlight beams converging from all directions. Elaine’s mocking silhouette. emerged from the glare. Ms. Valentine, Ms. Melford, where did you think you could run?” 

Elaine?Tiana gasped, Instinctively shielding Whitney

A swarm of menacing thugs quickly surrounded them

The women barely had time to resist before they were bound and dragged into the cottage. The door slammed shut behind them

Elaine leaned against the door, her gaze fixed on Whitney’s pallid face. She walked over and grasped her chin. I told you, your pregnancy is your greatest vulnerability. You uncovered my secret and thought you could expose me to Ludwik with this evidence? You think that once he finds out I’m the reason Natalie is a vegetable, all his misunderstanding toward you will become evidence to doubt me? Wishful thinking. Tonight, you’re trapped, and all of you will be silenced.” 

Elaine, you viper!Tiana roared. If you hurt Whitney, you’ll pay when Ludwik finds out about the miscarriage drugs!” 

Elaine kicked Tiana hard and laughed coldly. Do you know where you failed tonight? You were too desperate to save Whitney, worried about the baby, right? Such a pity. Alone and helpless, no one to come to your aid.” 

Tiana pounded the floor in frustration. Whitney’s baby could die any second in that wretched hospital

She had to save Whitney first, then inform Ludwik and confront him with the girl as proof

You’re too passive,Elaine taunted. Now that you’re in my hands, your fate is sealed.She yanked Tiana’s hair and signaled a thug with a malevolent glare

The thug struck the frail girl on the head with a heavy blow. She screamed, blood gushing, and collapsed, twitching, then lay still, no longer breathing

Elaine!Whitney was instantly soaked in cold sweat, her eyes filled with fear and rage

Tiana was silenced by shock

Their hardwon evidence, the girl they had found, was dead just like that

Whitney’s hands trembled. How innocent she was and how utterly cruel Elaine could be

The high society ladies like me, this is how we play the game. Have you learned nothing? And Tiana, ever since Gunner and Stella conspired to abduct you, I’ve been waiting for my chance. Monica’s failings have let you slip through the cracks, helping Whitney at every turn against 

  1. me

But tonight, you’re paying for it all. You hid the girl and discovered the payments to Dr. Horatio, didn’t you?” 

Elaine swiftly pulled several bank statements and medical records from Tiana’s pocket

16:33 

scanning them with contempt before moving to Whitney and extracting all evidence from her coat

Holding the papers, she sneered at them, tearing everything to shreds right before their eyes

Elaine, go to hell!” 

As their painstakingly gathered evidence of her sham donation crumbled, Tiana lunged at Elaine, fury in her eyes

Elaine glanced at Whitney and ordered with a smirk, Your turn, Tiana. You almost let Whitney’s secret slip, so you’re evidence, too. What should I do with you? Maybe let some thugs have their way with you? After all, you’re the only one among the three who’s still pure.How devastated Whitney would be to see you ruined, don’t you think?” 

Whitney felt despair swell within her, her eyes bloodshot with anger. Elaine, if you have a grudge, take it out on me, not Tiana! Aren’t you afraid Ludwik will find out about all this?”
