Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289
Shaking her head, Victoria denied, “No, it was just a coincidence. I only knew Jolene when I came to her house to work as a maid. When the Housekeeping Company introduced me to Carson and her mother, she got a good impression of me, so she started talking to me. She mentioned having a rich but arrogant daughter-in-law who would make things difficult for me if I went to work with them, and asked if I was willing to take the job. ”
As expected, my mother-in-law was badmouthing me, but I really didn’t care. “What happened next?”
“She said my salary would be $4,000 a month. I thought it was a good price, so I agreed. Then she listed a few items for me to take note of which included everyone’s personal preference but she had purposely left you out. Also, she pointed out that I would be there to take care of a pregnant lady. After agreeing to all the terms she said she would let me know. A week later I was told to report to work at her house. This
just meant that my mother-in-law had already made plans to hire Victoria before Jolene officially moved into our house. Completely numb to all of their actions, I basically shut down emotionally and looked at Victoria. “So, was it an impulsive decision to harm Jolene’s baby?”
“Yes. Initially, I didn’t plan on doing anything with her. But that bitch was as shameless as her mother! I couldn’t bear to see her being so ungrateful and treating you like that, so I did it.” I could tell she was implying that she knew about the affair between Jolene and Carson.
“When did you realize that Jolene was about to hurt me?” Not believing Victoria’s every word, I was trying to find holes in what she said.
“On the very first day I walked into your house. Hesitating for a moment, Victoria continued, “One day, while I was scrubbing the floor, Jolene and Mrs. Boyer were secretly whispering in the bedroom, and I overheard their conversation. It was then that I realized that Jolene was pregnant with Carson’s child.”
Glancing quickly at my unchanging expression, Victoria continued, saying, “Ever since I learned the truth, I’ve kept an eye on her. About a week later, when I got back from the grocery store one day, Jolene’s mom came up to me. visit her. Although she had changed a lot, I could still recognize her. After knowing their relationship, I started plotting against
them.”
“So, were you the one who made Jolene slip and fall?” I asked as I thought about the oil that was spilled on the rug.
“Really. I saw Jolene sneaking into her room that day. Not knowing what she was doing inside the room, I thought of pouring oil on the rug to make her slip. Unfortunately, nothing happened to her,” confessed Victoria.
“Is that why you reminded me to watch out for Jolene?”
“Yes. I was worried that you would be tricked for being so kind and naive, so I warned you. Still, you didn’t believe me and still fell for her tricks.”
“You mean to tell me you were aware that Jolene changed my pills? And then, you deliberately warned me twice?”
“Yes.”
“How did you know I was pregnant? Also, how did you know Jolene had given me abortion pills? Did you see her buying those pills?”
