The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Zachery: Watch Me Wreak Havoc

Iris Sloan had no idea what the two kids were thinking and sighed with worry.

「Four hours earlier.」

...

The more Laura Jennings stayed at home and thought about it, the angrier she became. Because of Estelle Lockwood, her so-called friends were all secretly mocking her, and Ethan Sloan had ordered her to stay home, forbidding her from going anywhere.

Ever since marrying Ethan Sloan, Laura Jennings had grown accustomed to a life of luxury and deference. How could she possibly endure such humiliation?

While she was stewing over her conflict with Ethan Sloan, the butler announced that Miss Thea York had arrived.

"Thea!" Laura Jennings latched onto her as if she’d found a savior, rambling nonstop. "Thea, you’re finally here! Every single one of these heartless people wishes I were dead. You’re the only one who came to see me!"

Thea York’s eyes flickered, and then she offered a gentle smile. "How could that be? Auntie, you’re overthinking things. Nathaniel is just busy."

Laura Jennings was furious. "Busy with what?!"

Thea’s words were barbed, deliberately provoking Laura Jennings. "He has work to manage, a household to run, and those three children to look after. Nathaniel is very hands-on with everything, so of course he’s busy. Besides, Auntie, perhaps Nathaniel feels that since you’re the adult, he should prioritize the children."

As expected, Laura Jennings exploded. "I’m his mother! Is he just going to cast me aside now that he has kids?!"

Thea smiled. "Auntie, please don’t think that way. I find those three children quite adorable, especially Christian. It’s no wonder Nathaniel dotes on them. If I had a child as lovely as him, I’d want to take care of him all the time too."

Laura Jennings, still full of unvented frustrations, was about to speak when she noticed Thea’s smile fade.

"Unfortunately, I don’t have children of my own. If only I could have a son like Christian..."

Laura Jennings suddenly fell silent, an idea sparking in her mind. "Thea, you like Christian?"

Thea’s smile was effortless. "Of course. He’s so adorable, who wouldn’t? I sometimes wish I could just sneak him home with me when Nathaniel isn’t looking."

Laura Jennings slapped her thigh. "That can be arranged!"

She had been wondering how to make things difficult for Nathaniel Sloan, and an opportunity had just fallen into her lap.

Her eyes gleaming, Laura Jennings said, "Thea, if you like him that much, I’ll have Christian go stay with you for a few days."

Thea feigned surprise. "Oh, I don’t know. Would Nathaniel agree to that?"

Laura Jennings puffed out her chest. "Hmph. So what if he doesn’t agree? I’m his grandmother. My word is final!"

Thea put on a hesitant expression. "Well... alright, then..."

This had been Thea York’s plan all along. Why have Christian come to the York Family estate? Because Thea had done her research: Christian Sloan had been frail since birth and was withdrawn. A child like that, she figured, would shatter with the slightest push.

’If he can’t take it, then he might as well die.’

Before Thea York could marry Nathaniel Sloan, the York Family had to help her dispose of his three children. This would ensure that her future child would become the sole heir to the Sloan Group.

They absolutely could not let what happened to Stella York happen again!

Soon, Laura Jennings sent people to the Kendrick Family’s estate.
