Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 944

Essie called Ingrid and asked her out for an afternoon tea.

Essie ordered light green tea for her. Pregnant people were not fit to drink thick tea and black tea.

Ingrid looked down at the tea in her cup, absent-minded and sad. She was still thinking about what Elizabeth said yesterday, and was still in shock.

Noticing that, Essie smiled and said, "Sister in law, you look unhappy. Is there anything bothering you?"

"No... Nothing." Ingrid shook her head with a gleam in her eyes.

Essie patted her on the hand and said, "Sister in law, you've married to a foreign country and your mother and your family are not around. We're your family. Don't take it to heart. Maybe I can help. If my brother dares to bully you, I will help you punish him."

"No, Vinton didn't bully me. It is... I'm afraid that I will have a daughter, which will make my mother-in-law and family unhappy," said Ingrid.

"Sister in law, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If your first baby is a daughter, maybe the second baby will be a son. It doesn't matter. Let nature take its course," Essie comforted.

"But what if my mother-in-law doesn't like it to be a daughter and asks me to abort her?" Ingrid said in a trembling voice.

Startled, Essie asked, "Did she say that?"

Ingrid pressed her lips and hesitated for a while before saying, "Yesterday, I happened to pass by the study and heard the conversation between my mother-in-law and Vinton. My mother-in-law said that if I were to do the B Ultrasound and found that I was pregnant with a daughter, I would just abort it and don't bother giving birth to her."

"Do my brother agree?" Essie was shocked. 'Is Elizabeth crazy? She even doesn't let go of her granddaughter.'

"Vinton didn't agree, but I'm afraid that if my mother-in-law makes a fuss, he has no choice but to compromise," Ingrid said worriedly.

"I believe my brother won't compromise on this kind of thing." Essie said in a firm tone. "I'm afraid that Elizabeth will do something to hurt your child secretly. She's good at doing this."

"What will she do?" Ingrid's face turned pale.

"It's easy to get rid of a person's child. She can do it on food or find someone to do it. In the past, in order to prevent my mother from having one more baby, she bribed the doctor to perform a legation operation for her secretly when my mother gave birth to me. Later, when I was pregnant, she sent people to hurt me. Fortunately, my child was lucky enough, so her plan failed," said Essie in a low voice.

A chill spread from Ingrid's spine, making her terrified.

"How could she be so vicious and terrible?"

"Some people are born cruel and merciless. They will do anything to achieve their goals. What you can do is to keep an eye on her and guard against her." Essie sighed.

"How? I'm with her every day. I won't know if she really drugged me," Ingrid said in a trembling voice.

"Sister in law, don't have to think too much. If the B Ultrasound result is a boy, you don't have to worry about it. If it's a girl, you can discuss with my brother about moving out. The further away you are from Elizabeth, the safer you will be," suggested Essie.

Ingrid nodded. She prayed that the baby in her belly would be a boy so that he could be saved from a terrible conspiracy and disaster.

Essie picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. If she guessed right, Elizabeth wanted to use Ingrid's baby as a bargaining chip. She should have thought of ten percent of Mrs. Vicki's shares. After giving birth to her great grandson, the old lady was so happy that she might give the ten percent of the shares to her great grandson as a gift.

"I didn't expect this family to be so complicated."

"I have no choice." Essie shrugged.

"If she is really a daughter, I will try my best to protect her and never let anyone hurt her," Ingrid said firmly, clenching her fists.

Looking at her, Essie felt relieved. It seemed that she was different from her father, Landen. She was innocent and frank.

In the Rong Mansion, uncle Li was investigating all the servants and workers again with several stewards and security department. Make sure that there are no spies coming in.

The security department had three sets of the most advanced lie detector. They had to apply them to all the employees and fire them if they couldn't pass.

Mili and Dot were quite interested in the lie detector. They sat aside and looked at the professional security guards to ask the servants.

"The security guard's questions will cause different mental stimulation to the tested person. And these stimulation would trigger different physiological reactions. Which caused a series of physiological factors. These are the principles of the lie detector."

"When a person is lying, there will be changes in his or her myoelectric, meridians, pulse, blood pressure, breath, heartbeat, brain waves, voice, pupils, etc. The lie detector can track and measure the changes of these factors, forming a record map. After analyzing the changes in the map, we can determine whether the person who is tested has honestly answered these questions or is lying,"

Dot explained seriously like an expert.

Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Mili smiled and said, "As a future criminal psychologist, my goal is to accurately judge whether the criminal is telling the truth or not without the help of a lie detector."
