Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Birds Of A Feather Flock Together

Cassie then looked at Stephanie and stated, “Steph, don’t blame for being ruthless when we’re now in the same boat. You don’t want Amelia Winters to steal all of Mrs. Clinton’s attention, while I don’t want Oz to fall in love with her. We have the same motive, and we’ll have attained our goal when we successfully drive her away.”

Upon hearing this, Stephanie mulled it over for a while. Then, a fearless smile bloomed on her face.

“I think this is quite a good turn of events, Cassie. You were simply a meek girl in the past, and I was even worried that you’ll be bullied because of your easy-going disposition. Thus, it’s good that you’ve now learned to scheme against others. This is something crucial to people from affluent backgrounds, after all. We’ve got money and power, so it’s only a matter of utilizing some connections when we do something wrong. Would the police really dare arrest and imprison us?”

As Stephanie said this, she was incredibly arrogant without the slightest hint of fear on her face.

Cassie merely smiled at her words, but inwardly, she was scoffing with contempt. Her comfortable life has her feeling that she’s infallible, but she knows nothing else apart from branded bags, clothes, and shoes. All she does is eat, drink, and play. When it comes to working, however, she’s a completely useless spoiled brat!

Subsequently, Stephanie picked up an apple and queried, “Can you eat an apple now, Cassie? I’ll pare an apple for you.”

Cassie nodded in response.

While paring the apple, Stephanie asked, “What are you planning to do about Amelia, Cassie?”

After a moment’s contemplation, Cassie mused, “Steph, what way is there to have a woman miscarry without arousing suspicion?”

Stephanie pondered for a moment before answering, “There are plenty of ways considering the current medical advancements. But if we use medication to do it, it’ll be easily discovered by the doctor. Therefore, the only recourse is a physical collision. A pregnant woman is very fragile.”

The moment Cassie heard this, she snapped her fingers. “Great minds think alike, Steph!” she exclaimed with a bright smile.

“But how should we accomplish it in such a way that Oscar doesn’t suspect anything?” Stephanie wondered.

Staring right into her eyes, Cassie declared, “That’s where you come in.”

At a loss, Stephanie pointed at herself. “Me?”

Cassie nodded and explained, “You’re Amelia’s sister-in-law, so she won’t turn you away if you were to approach her no matter the misunderstandings between you both. Thus, you just need to obtain her trust and ask her to accompany you shopping. Then, create a commotion on a busy street. In the midst of the chaos, someone accidentally collides with her stomach. Everything is then solved, no?”

At this, Stephanie swung her gaze over and gaped at her in surprise.

“So, you’ve actually planned everything and were just waiting for me to take the bait, Cassie?” she demanded indignantly.

Her scheming makes me look like a fool! She has dug a hole in the ground, and I actually jumped in foolishly. In the end, I didn’t know that I’d been duped and even offered myself up as a victim! Ugh! How infuriating!

It was as though Cassie could read her thoughts, for she hastily refuted and coaxed, “I’ve already been planning this, Steph. Initially, I didn’t plan on dragging you in, but it just so happens that you came to visit me tonight. I only told you about my plan because you abhor Amelia as well. Will I be plotting against you when we’re in the same boat?”

Stephanie then ruminated on it for a moment.

It does make sense. If I hadn’t overheard Mom saying that Cassie is now in the hospital after having suffered a miscarriage, I really wouldn’t have known that something had happened to her.

Meanwhile, Cassie continued, “Steph, if you’re afraid, just forget about everything I said. My child is gone, and your brother is already thirty years old. Hence, if the baby in Amelia’s stomach is gone as well, no one knows when your brother will have a child. Mrs. Clinton is sure to be hankering after a grandchild, so I don’t want you to take the blame.”

However, if she truly hadn’t wanted to drag Stephanie into this matter, she wouldn’t have said anything earlier.

Stephanie was actually quite conflicted, but she then remembered that her status in the Clinton family would be particularly awkward should Amelia give birth to a boy.

I’m the lady of the Clinton family, yet I have no room to breathe with Amelia there! Mom is always lecturing me with her as the yardstick and asking me to learn from her. As the lady of the Clinton family, I know better about manners and etiquette than anyone else! How is she better than me?

Because she was always compared to Amelia, her jealousy and resentment toward her multiplied day by day. For that reason, she easily took the bait even when Cassie had just sown a bit of discord.

Curling her lips in contempt, she mocked, “She’s just a woman with no manners. Is she worthy of giving birth to a child of the Clinton family? I’m even afraid she’ll bring the child astray!”

Just for the sake of their self-interests, Cassie and Stephanie would go as far as making a move against an unborn child. Hence, this was no idle prank. Rather, they were truly cruel without a shred of compassion.

People claimed that children and infants were always to be spared, yet they were even planning to murder an unborn child. Therefore, it went without saying that they were truly sinister.

Upon hearing that, the corners of Cassie’s mouth lifted. “It’s decided then, Steph. We’ll execute the plan when I’ve recovered and been discharged from the hospital. She’s going to give birth soon, so we’ve got to do it before that. Otherwise, we won’t have an opportunity when she has given birth.”

Stephanie nodded in agreement.

In the next moment, Cassie again spoke. “Steph, I think you should build a relationship with Amelia. You’re her sister-in-law, so it’s only natural that you show some concern for her,” she urged.
