Chapter 188 Blame It on Me
Lucky Draw
Bethan slipped a small paper bag into Megan’s hand. “I can’t get close enough to do it. Put this in Hugh’s drink and make sure he drinks it.”
Megan’s legs nearly gave out in fear. She pushed Bethan away in a panic. “Mrs. Cavill, I can’t do it!”
Bethan looked around warily, then stuffed the drugs back into Megan’s hand. “If you can get pregnant again, I’ll make sure you rise to power as the mother of his child. Just do it without worry. If anything goes wrong, blame it on me. I’ll protect you.”
Megan nervously held the drug Bethan had given her in her palm.
This bold move seemed like the shortcut she’d been
waiting for.
If she could really conceive Hugh’s child, everything would fall into place.
She looked at Bethan, testing the waters. “Mrs. Cavill, 1/7

you’re being really nice now. But the drug is in my hands.

If we get caught, I’m done for. What then?”
Self-preservation was only natural.

No matter how sweet Bethan talked, Megan worried Bethan’d ditch her if things went wrong.
Bethan hadn’t expected Megan to be so cautious.
But if she wanted this plan to work, she had to use some
extreme measures.
If she could handle it alone, she wouldn’t need Megan’s help.
Bethan patiently tried to convince her, “Remember when you were scared about my adopting your son as a godson? It turned out okay. You were hesitant about moving upstairs, and now you’re settled.
“How do you know it won’t work until you give it a shot? Even if it fails, when Hugh questions you, just pin it on me like last time.”
Seeing Megan still wavering, Bethan frowned. “Megan, if You keep being such a chicken, our deal’s off!”

Hugh was scared of his grandfather and wouldn’t bring Megan and their son into the Cavill family.
He was using Bethan as a buffer and even lied about sending Megan away to keep the peace.
This couldn’t go on.
Bethan had to take drastic steps to tie Hugh and Megan together so she could get out of this mess.
Megan bit her lip and nodded. “Okay, I’ll give it a try.”
As they stepped out of the restroom, they bumped into Gwen.
Megan and Bethan exchanged a look, and Megan took off first.
Gwen tried to stop Megan, but Bethan blocked her.
Gwen stamped her foot in annoyance. “Bethan, why are you so nice to her?”
Bethan patted her on the shoulder. “Gwen, cut it out with

grandfather for six years for your brother and gave birth to his son. She’s had a rough time.”
Gwen stared at Bethan like she’d seen a ghost. “Bethan, are you okay?”
With a smile, Bethan said, “I’m fine. Really.”
Hugh’s betrayal, coldness, and indifference had transformed her.
A bit crazy perhaps, but she felt better this way.
Ten minutes later, Bethan and Gwen returned to the private room.
Taking her seat, Bethan noticed Megan, sitting next to Hugh, was extremely jittery, which made her silently hold her breath in anxiety.
Megan was so bold when Hugh wasn’t around, always pushing her buttons.
But in front of Hugh, she was a scaredy-cat.

If it weren’t for the son Megan’d had, she’d never have broken into the family.
To calm Megan down and create a chance for her, Bethan said, “Let’s play a game. It’s called ‘Six, Seven, Eight”!”
Everyone cheered.
In this drinking game, players took turns rolling the dice.
If one rolled a seven, one could give a kiss to the person one wanted to, on any part of their body.
An eight meant one could touch someone, and a nine meant one had to take a drink.
“I’ll start,” Mason said, and the room erupted in cheers.
Mason rolled the dice, and everyone shouted for a seven, but he got an eight.
Mason rubbed his hands. “Arthur, come here and let me touch you!”
Arthur, who was sitting quietly next to Bethan, sipping the milk drink, jumped onto the sofa in a panic. Masbi, 2

stay away!”
Seeing the chaos about to start, Bethan quickly moved out of the way.
The next second, Mason tackled Arthur, and when everyone came to their senses, Arthur was fuming, and Mason was holding a men’s belt.
