Chapter 273
Jolene still had the dream of marrying Carson, even at the risk of extorting money from him because he had no more money.
It was unnecessary for her to frame Eliza for being with that whore. After all, if she did manage to marry Carson in the end, it would be embarrassing for her if her sister-in-law married a male prostitute. More importantly, Carson would have to cough up a large sum of money for Eliza’s dowry.
Why would Jolene let that happen? After all, Carson’s money was her money too, unless the whore wasn’t
Eliza, as their goal was to extort more money from the Boyers.
to marry
Isabella and I came to the same conclusion. “Lily, do you think Jolene’s target is Eliza’s dowry? After Eliza passes the money to the prostitute, he will hide immediately.”
“That’s what I thought. If that’s true, Jolene is very mischievous.”
“Compared to what she did to you before, this is nothing. Also, Eliza has always treated Jolene badly.” Isabella didn’t like Eliza at all. “Just let these two bitches fight each other as this is the best result for us. We’ll just have to pretend we don’t know anything and watch the show.”
“No, I can’t let that happen. We have to stop her.”
“Do you want to help Eliza?” Isabella was surprised.
“Instead of helping Eliza, I’m helping myself.” It was said that the enemy of my enemy was my friend. I wanted to help Eliza not because I sympathized with her, but it was an excellent chance to teach Jolene a lesson.
“What will you do?”
I stayed silent and tried to come up with an initial plan. “Isabella, if Jolene set the trap, I will shift all the blame
to her.”
“Then? What if Carson decides to side with her?” Isabella wasn’t as optimistic as I was. “Don’t forget what happened before. Carson might even allow his son to die, so there’s no way he could hurt Jolene over his sister.”
“I understand your worries. Even if Carson doesn’t want to hurt Jolene, his parents will do it for him.” I scoffed. Even if Carson wanted to protect Jolene at all costs, her parents were different and would not tolerate their beloved daughter, Eliza, being framed in this way.
“Maybe not the case. Lily, I don’t think Carson is protecting Jolene out of goodwill. She was supposed to be keeping a secret that could be used against Carson. That’s why he doesn’t dare to hurt Jolene. They say even wild beasts take care of their young. No matter how cruel Carson is, he shouldn’t be so insensitive to his son.”
“Carson is just scared that his extramarital affairs with Jolene will be revealed to me. After all, they are in the same boat, as the failure of one will affect the other. However, even if Carson and his parents don’t dare harm Jolene, I’m not worried.” I scoffed, “Don’t forget we still have the police, who won’t be swayed by Carson. Can he keep everyone tight-lipped?”
Even if Carson still protected Jolene until then, the police would not let Jolene get away, as blackmail was a crime.
“Do you want to expose this? He is sure?” Isabella was surprised because I always insisted on keeping it a secret. If this was reported to the police, the relationship between Jolene and Carson would also be exposed. By then, it would all be over between Carson and me.
