The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 532

The younger daughter said there were too many housekeepers in the house. If they found out there was another daughter in the house, it would embarrass their father when the news spread, so she dismissed all the maids in the house. She only left Judy, who used to bring her food. Judy was responsible for cleaning the house, and the younger daughter cooked for her father herself. So, every meal for the father was made by the younger daughter. The father thought that the older daughter was successful, and the younger daughter was very considerate, which reassured him.

One morning, the father felt unwell after breakfast. He had severe pain and experience told him that he had been poisoned, maybe with mercury. He suddenly fainted. He was then paralyzed and couldn't get up. Gradually, his speech also became unclear.

“Dad, you treated me like that for twenty years, and I just returned the favor. You and my sister enjoyed the prosperity of this world while I felt lonely in the attic, and now it's your turn." The younger daughter said arrogantly. The old father realized, during these many years, the younger daughter's mentality had twisted. But he still had a lot of money and family inheritance in Swiss banks. The younger daughter knew that keeping her father alive could make him reveal the whereabouts of the fortune. However, the father did not disclose it, waiting for the elder daughter's return.

"Dad, stop dreaming. For so many years, my sister is nothing but a flower in a greenhouse, what resistance could she have? I'm a weed growing in the cold wind. My ability to cope with difficulties is much stronger than hers. Even if she comes back, she will also be a second you." The old father's face suddenly turned pale. That was his biggest worry.

Later, the older daughter came back. The house was huge but without any servant. Seeing this woman who looked exactly like herself, the older daughter suddenly felt afraid. The younger daughter stared at her sister's stomach. Her sister's hand was on her slightly protruding belly.

With a smile like a venomous snake on her face, the younger daughter said to her sister, "Are you pregnant? Give birth to it. Let you taste the bitterness of parting. You, and the child's father."
