Isabelle Everett never imagined that her adoptive mother, who had always been strict with her, knowing full well that Raina Lowell was shameless and full of lies, would treat her so kindly at this moment.
She was even willing to let Raina Lowell accompany her and didn’t want her adopted daughter to stay.
She hesitated, and just as she was about to feign concern again, Mrs. Everett directly urged:
"Ethan, you take Isabelle back. There’s nothing serious here, no need to stay here all day."
Ethan nodded, indicating for Isabelle to leave.
Once they left the hospital building, Isabelle finally dared to lose her temper.
"You saw it too, Raina Lowell is scheming, not only failed to harm me but also hurt Mom, yet Mom actually let her stay alone."
She grabbed Ethan’s hand: "Big Brother, you can’t wait anymore. Otherwise, if Mom ends up dead by her hands, it’ll be too late for regret."
Ethan did not expect his always serious mother to be so friendly towards Raina Lowell either.
He looked solemnly at Isabelle and said, "I need to plan thoroughly to ensure I can get away clean before making a move; otherwise, it would cost me dearly."
He certainly didn’t want to kill Raina Lowell and pay with his life.
That would be losing both the lady and the army, so unprofitable.
Isabelle deliberately got angry.
"I think you just don’t dare; just send some people to handle it, can’t it be done without you doing it yourself?"
She waved her hand dismissively as she stepped forward. Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
Ethan followed and patiently explained: "Having others do it makes it easy to trace who instructed them. Rest assured; I’ll make Raina Lowell disappear soon."
"Find me after you make her disappear!"
Isabelle still wore a sour expression, storming off ahead.
At that time, inside the ward.
Mrs. Everett watched Raina Lowell cautiously massaging her leg at the bedside. She couldn’t understand why everyone said she was bad.
Unmarried mother, angered Old Master Grant to death.
But she felt Raina was as pitiful as their own missing daughter.
Looking at Raina, she couldn’t help but feel pain thinking of their daughter lost for twenty years.
Mrs. Everett covered her face and wiped her tears, telling Raina:
"You’re not having it easy either, just lost a child and have to take care of another one. Why don’t you go back home; there’s no need to worry about me."
Raina handed a tissue to Mrs. Everett.
Feeling a bond, she almost wanted to ask her about her daughter.
But afraid her intentions might be misunderstood as social climbing.
Raina could only suppress her questions and nodded in agreement:
"Alright, I’ll head back first. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime."
Just as she was about to turn and leave, she coincidentally ran into Mrs. Grant, who had come to visit Mrs. Everett.
Behind Mrs. Grant, Adrian Grant followed.
Seeing them, Raina instinctively avoided them, trying to walk around, but Mrs. Grant stopped her.
"Weren’t you the one who hit Mrs. Everett with the car?"
Raina didn’t deny it, "Yes, I was the one who hit her."
Mrs. Grant got angry hearing this, looking at Mrs. Everett sitting on the bed:
"She must have done it on purpose, knowing Isabelle is going to marry Adrian, couldn’t stand it, and wanted to get back at you, yet you’re letting her go ?"
This shameless woman, having a child with someone else, dared to hide it from them and marry Adrian.
Even angered the Old Master to death.
Her son was kind enough not to argue, but she wouldn’t let her off easily.
"Mom, don’t speak without evidence." Adrian coldly took over his mother’s words, still showing Raina a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
He, too, wanted to know if Raina would care that he was going to marry Isabelle.
"Am I talking nonsense? In broad daylight, who did she choose to hit with her car if not your mother-in-law?"
Mrs. Grant ignored her son, stepping forward to tell Mrs. Everett:
"This woman harbors wicked thoughts, dissatisfied that Isabelle will marry Adrian, deliberately causing trouble at this critical time. You can’t let her off easily this time."
Mrs. Everett, however, was indifferent, looking at Raina and said:
"You should go back first, don’t overthink it."
Raina nodded, not wanting to linger for a moment, quickly walked away.
Adrian initially didn’t intend to get involved with Raina anymore.
But seeing her leave with a wronged look, he felt a pang of pity and chased after her without hesitation.
Mrs. Grant called out, feeling disappointed in him.
But considering the Everett Family was marrying into the Grant Family, she felt no need to worry about her son’s actions affecting Mrs. Everett’s satisfaction.
She sat herself down, her face serious, and said:
"Mrs. Everett is about to become my in-law. I absolutely cannot stand Raina Lowell. Why don’t you take this chance to teach her a proper lesson for me?"
Mrs. Everett chuckled, sighing:
"Mrs. Grant, why bother with a junior? She isn’t having it easy, losing a child, and with nothing but her clothes, still needs to raise another one, let her go."
Adrian quickly caught up and raised his hand to stop Raina.
"How did you end up hitting Mrs. Everett with your car? Did they give you any trouble? Do you need money, I..."
"No need." Knowing Adrian was set on marrying Isabelle, Raina coldly interrupted him, unwilling to spare him another glance.
"Save your money for your wedding; I don’t need you to worry about my issues."
She released his hand and walked away quickly.
Adrian did not chase after her.
Raina’s attitude seemed indifferent to him truly marrying Isabelle.
She had others in her heart, a child, living happily as a family of three.
As for him, he should stop deluding himself.
Adrian withdrew his gaze, leaving with a touch of bitterness in his heart.
Sitting in the car, Raina’s heart was filled with rage.
Furious that Adrian was set on marrying Isabelle.
Yet, she couldn’t find any evidence of Isabelle causing her grandfather’s death.
Was she to watch helplessly as Isabelle married into the Grant Family?
Raina returned to Alaric Jennings’ place, distracted.
Understanding her inner turmoil, Alaric Jennings sat down beside her, asking with concern:
"Are you facing some difficulties? You seem preoccupied these days."
Raina worriedly said, "Adrian is marrying Isabelle, and I haven’t found any evidence of Isabelle’s crime."
Especially now since Adrian was maintaining distance from her for Isabelle.
Unwilling to stay at Lowell Manor with her.
She had no other way to provoke Isabelle to reveal her true self.
Perhaps her only hope rested on that DNA test report.
"My people haven’t found a trace of it either."
Alaric Jennings reassured her: "Don’t worry, if that woman truly is to blame, there will eventually be flaws."
Raina felt all she could do was wait.
These days, seeing her son unhappy, she stayed at home, always accompanying him.
Until a week later, when the test results were ready.
She left her son with Alaric Jennings and personally drove to the testing center to pick up the report.
Before reaching the testing center, she received a call from Ethan.
The other party said: "My mom needs your help here. Where are you now? I’ll come to pick you up."
Raina hurriedly declined, "I have something to do here, can I come after I’m done? It won’t take long."
She was just fetching the test report.
They were two reports; once she got them, she could find out if she and The Everett Family and Evelyn and Adrian had any blood relation.
But Ethan wouldn’t give her time and directly came:
"I’m coming to pick you up now, send me your location."
