"Of course it's Leila. But two days ago, she came to see me and she found out that I was drugged and had an abortion. If she did that, why did she reveal it? "
"She definitely put the suspect on me, right?" Essie sneered. She knew that it must have something to do with Leila, so he intentionally shifted the suspect to kill both she and Landis. Then, she could relax.
Landis raised her eyebrows and asked coldly, "Do you think she did it?"
Shrugging, Essie said, "I won't make random guesses. Evidence is necessary in everything. Random guesses may have ulterior motives or be false accusations." Her words was not only a show of caution, but also a counter attack to Leila.
Landis sipped the tea and realized that she was fooled. Someone wanted both of them to suffer.
"I will find out who did this to me."
"Of course we will find the murderer. We can't let him get away with law." Essie added, "I met a similar situation with you before. Someone hired a drug addict and caused my abortion. In the war between women, children are always the most innocent victims."
When people were the most vulnerable, they wanted to find partners who were suffering from illness. There was no doubt that her words narrowed the distance between Landis and her.
On second thought, Landis felt much better. Essie's child was killed, and her husband was taken away. She seemed to be worse than herself at that moment.
"If you hadn't fainted and been hospitalized, Leila wouldn't have taken your place." There was some sympathy in her tone, but she didn't have it in her heart. She just wanted to use the pain of others to ease her sorrow.
"A couple were just like birds of the same woods. When the big trouble comes, we will fly separately." Essie sighed heavily. She revealed an extremely sad expression. "To be honest, I really hope that you can beat Leila and turn into the next lady of the Rong family. Only in this way can she have a taste of being sabotaged."
Landis did not doubt this. If she were Essie, she would do the same thing to revenge herself.
"Do you still want to get back together with President Rong?"
The corners of Essie's mouth curled up into a bitter smile. She continued, "Do you still have an illusion about a man who dumped you when you were in difficulty? Besides, I don't have to rely on him for anything. Why should I go back to him? He is such a toxic jerk!"
She had to eliminate the suspicion of Landis in front of her. She could only make Zac be the scapegoat for the time being. After all, he was notorious as a playboy. It didn't matter if it would be blackened more?
