The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Mr. Sloan, Don’t Disappoint Me

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel Sloan chuckled slowly. "In that case, I’m afraid Ms. Lowell’s health might not be so good."

Estelle Lockwood raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what exactly does Mr. Sloan mean by that?"

Nathaniel Sloan nodded. "I’ll have Zane Grant accompany me. Rest assured, he’s a doctor. No one will die."

Estelle Lockwood raised an eyebrow, her eyes glinting with a meaningful smile. "Alright. I hope Mr. Sloan won’t disappoint me."

Nathaniel Sloan caught the hidden meaning in her words, and his lips tightened.

’He wouldn’t let her down again.’

...

「The Sloan Residence.」

As Liam Sloan walked in, the butler exclaimed happily, "Young Master Liam, you’re back!" Just then, Laura Jennings appeared, her brow furrowed. "You’ve been back for days without even thinking to come home! Do you even see me as your mother anymore?!"

Liam Sloan casually picked up an apple, his attitude nonchalant. "I’ve been busy, you know."

Laura Jennings snapped in frustration, "I have no idea what you could possibly be so busy with all day!"

Liam Sloan gave her a cool glance and cut straight to the chase. "Mom, your son is a lawyer. Surely you know that helping someone falsify evidence is illegal, right?"

Laura Jennings’s expression stiffened. She planted her hands on her hips and said belligerently, "What’s that supposed to mean!"

Liam Sloan watched her. "I heard a lawyer got into some trouble recently and was disbarred. That Mr. Miller... wasn’t he a lawyer in your legal department five years ago, Mom?"

When she heard "five years ago," Laura Jennings’s face froze. "I have no idea what you’re talking about!"

Liam Sloan offered a helpful reminder, "My sister-in-law’s death anniversary is coming up, you know? I’d advise you to steer clear."

"What’s that supposed to mean?! Are you lecturing me now?!" Laura Jennings exploded with rage. "Estelle Lockwood is not your sister-in-law! Your sister-in-law is Noelle!"

’Telling me not to go? That just makes me want to go even more!’

After all, she knew what the Lockwoods were planning for that day. She wanted to ensure Estelle Lockwood wouldn’t be able to rest in peace!

Liam Sloan pursed his lips. ’It’s impossible to reason with a fool rushing to their doom,’ he thought. ’Maybe I should get a doctor to check out Mom’s brain.’

’No, Dad’s brain needs checking too.’

Outsiders might not know the whole story, but Liam Sloan knew it all too well. His mother had been the mistress who clawed her way up. His father’s first wife had died young. While the first wife was pregnant, Laura Jennings—also pregnant at the time—had shown up at their door to cause a scene. Her extreme arrogance had so enraged the woman that she died just after giving birth.

And so, Laura Jennings married into the Sloan family.

The strange part was, Laura Jennings and Ethan Sloan claimed the first wife’s child had vanished without a trace. Laura’s child was Nathaniel. Since Laura had secured her status in the family through her son, one would think she’d dote on Nathaniel.

But in reality, before Nathaniel came into power, Laura Jennings had treated him as less than human...

Liam Sloan shook his head. ’Forget it. What’s the point of thinking so much? My mom’s values are twisted and she’s off her rocker. How can I possibly use normal logic to understand what goes on in her head?’

...

「On the day of the ’death anniversary’.」

The fire five years ago had been a massive scandal. The hospital’s director had even posted a statement on the hospital’s official social media account.

The gist of it was that while they, as doctors, were saddened by the news of Estelle Lockwood’s death, which was attributed to her being unable to handle the pressure, the fire had caused immense losses for the hospital. Furthermore, many pregnant women had to be hastily relocated because the maternity ward was destroyed, nearly leading to disaster.
