Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350 

Bree quickly steadied me as I swayed for a moment. 

Jewel was a wreck, and her face was pale with panic. Seeing her like that made my heart skip a beat. 

Did I hit the nail on the head? 

I was just plainly guessing, wanting to test the waters. But now, it seemed that lan’s death wasn’t that simple. 

If Jewel was related to it, or if she had planned it, then she was far more dangerous than I had imagined. 

No wonder lan’s parents despised her so much. It seemed that there was a reason behind it. 

“Jewel, you’re guilty, aren’t you?” I pressed on, not letting her off the hook. 

Now that I had her rattled, I was determined to expose her true nature completely. 

Jewel constantly shook her head in denial. 

“You set lan up because he became an obstacle in your chase of wealth and status. You knew that with him out of the way, you could finally go after what you always wanted,” I continued saying. 

“But you also knew that as a divorced woman, getting Chris to fall for you won’t be easy. So, you placed a trap for lan. You knew Chris would feel guilty and would do whatever it took to take care of you after the accident.” 

“No, that’s not true!” 

Jewel once again let out a scream. 

“Jewel, the truth isn’t up to you. There’s always proof.” 

I could tell she probably hadn’t done many things like that before. 

Otherwise, she wouldn’t fall apart so easily with just a few pointed questions. 

But in the end, she was still responsible for someone’s death. 

“I didn’t want lan to die. I didn’t know…” 

Jewel’s grip on the herbicide bottle loosened, and it fell to the floor. She cradled her head in her hands, overwhelmed with pain. 

She hadn’t intended for lan to die. Even so, he had died. 

In a way, she was admitting that lan’s car crash wasn’t an accident and that it was her doing. 

My entire body felt cold as I looked at the bump on her belly. 

“You didn’t expect to be pregnant with lan’s baby, did you?”
