Despite how despicable Jewel was, the child she carried was innocent. Plus, it was Ian's only bloodline.
As Jewel left, Bree trembled with anger.
"That woman has completely tricked Chris! I thought he was smarter than this. How could he let himself be fooled?"
Bree grabbed my arm. "Maddie, you heard everything."
I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Of course, I heard everything. I was the one who had confronted Jewel.
"Maddie, Chris was tricked. She's completely deceived him," Bree insisted, as if trying to convey something.
"Bree, it takes two to tango. Chris fell for her tricks because he gave her the chance," I replied, cutting her off.
Bree's mouth moved, but she fell silent.
"How could anyone be so heartless? She had even harmed her own husband…" She let out a sigh.
Greed could drive people to do unthinkable things.
"I absolutely won't allow Chris to marry her. If she gets into this family, I doubt Zack and I would live much longer," Bree murmured to herself.
I was an outsider, and it wasn't my place to say anything more.
"This isn't right. We need to call the police. We can't let her get away with this. If she's arrested, she won't bother Chris anymore."
Bree suddenly grabbed my arm like she had just found the perfect solution.
"Maddie, I thought that Chris had just stormed off in a fit of anger. But I finally see it now. Jewel was the one who drove him away."
Bree shook her head, her face filled with regret.
She tightened her hold on my hand.
"Maddie, you know everything. You should report this to the police. Give them the evidence so they can take her down."
Seeing the anticipation in Bree's eyes, I slightly lowered my gaze.
"Bree, I don't have any evidence."
"No evidence? But you know everything. How could there be no evidence?" Bree asked in disbelief.
I let out a bitter laugh. "It was just a thought that crossed my mind—something I blurted out."
