Chapter 1964 Plots And Schemes
Meanwhile, at the hospital. Mabel looked at Janice casually sipping on her chicken soup as the latter hung up the call. “Why are you urging her so much? She’s already on the way here. She might get into a car accident if you keep pushing her to drive faster.”
Janice looked up at Mabel and sneered, “You’re worried about her getting into an accident?”
Mabel stayed silent at her retort. “You should hope something happens to her because she can’t be with Wilbur if she dies, becomes paralyzed, or loses her mind. That will greatly save us trouble.”
Mabel studied Janice. “Janice, you actually want Maya to die? Have you always been this cruel? Or is it your love for Wilbur that makes you so? Your hatred for her is so deep… That’s right. I forgot you even included your unborn baby in your schemes, so why not an adult?”
Mabel’s straightforward accusation pissed Janice off. The latter took another sip of the chicken soup that Maya had brought for her earlier.
“You don’t have the right to call me cruel. After all, you’re no better than me. I heard you were related to Wilbur’s mother’s death? You and his mother were fighting for the same man. It’s the same between Maya and me. Making sure our rival dies and never comes back – I learned all that from you.”
Mabel’s expression turned grave at the mention of Wilbur’s mother’s death.
“Janice, don’t spout nonsense. There are some things you can’t say without knowing all the facts. How do you know I’m related to Wilbur’s mother’s death? Did you see it with your own eyes? You better watch out if you spout such nonsense again,” Mabel warned.
“I didn’t see it with my eyes, but I heard it with my ears. There’s only the two of us here, and I won’t tell anybody. You don’t have to be so nervous.”
“You heard it with your ears? Who told you then? Wilbur?”
“Look at you being all nervous. Worried Wilbur will take revenge on you?”
For a moment, Mabel was stunned. Janice’s biting remark had reminded her of something.
He probed about this last time but didn’t bring it up after that. So, does that mean he’s aware of the truth but just doesn’t have solid evidence to prove I was the culprit? Then he will surely take revenge once he has concrete evidence in his hands.
An uneasy feeling rose within Mabel. It isn’t enough just to break off Wilbur’s ties to Maya and the Seet family. I have to make sure the truth never surfaces. Wilbur can’t be left alive then. But how should I kill him off without it all leading back to me?
“I didn’t mean it. Maya is one of the Seets. I’m not bold enough to kill her.”
I don’t care whether you’re bold or not. Either way, I won’t believe your nonsense about leaving Y City with Wilbur.
I’m sure you will instigate Wilbur to seize control of the Simpson family business, even helping him come up with ideas. There won’t be a place for me and Nic in the Simpson family then.
If Wilbur wants to take revenge at that time, I might even lose my life.
The door to the ward was pushed open, and a heavily breathing Maya stood there.
“Maya, you’re here,” Janice greeted with a fake friendly voice.
Mabel looked at Janice indifferently. This woman changes her expression real quick. She was talking about killing Maya just a while ago. Yet, she’s being so friendly to her now.
