Chapter 324: Chapter 324

Such a man, enjoying the benefits brought by his wife’s family, yet feeling inferior deep down inside. Now that his wife’s family has dwindled, he holds great power, and he finds himself increasingly displeased with his wife, as if all the years of suffering he endured were inflicted by her.

Now, with Chloe as his confidante, how could he tolerate his wife, who has become like a nagging, unattractive wife? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩

But now, it seems his wife is pregnant. Chloe, giggling, suggests to him that if he doesn’t like it, he shouldn’t keep it.

She even gave the man a kind of drug, saying it was a slow-acting drug that could be added to the pregnant woman’s meals. Just a tiny bit each day, and eventually, it would cause difficult labor for the woman, but wouldn’t harm the child, and it would be undetectable by doctors.

When the child is born and his wife dies in childbirth, he wouldn’t have to bear any psychological burden, and he could marry a gentle wife. How wonderful, isn’t it?

One must admit, Chloe’s plan is truly sinister.

And that man, presumably not brainwashed by Chloe for the first time, actually found himself tempted.

Skylar, outside, was getting goosebumps from what she overheard, yet also felt a peculiar excitement.

If this drug were used on Yvette, what would happen?

When Yvette is giving birth, she would definitely die, right?

If Yvette dies and the child survives, as the elder sister, wouldn’t it be natural for her to enter the Sterling Family to take care of her young brother?

As long as this child grows up under her care, wouldn’t he listen to her obediently in the future?

At this moment, Skylar could no longer be bothered with Yvette. After all, Yvette, as a mother, never considered her.

Since that’s the case, why should she bother with the mother’s life or death? She should only care about her own future.

After that man left, Skylar walked inside.

"Auntie, I heard everything you said to that man just now."

Chloe’s face changed, but Skylar quickly said, "Auntie, you’ve always been so good to me. I have always stood by you, and I know that it’s not Auntie’s fault. The blame lies solely on those heartless men. Don’t worry, Auntie, I won’t say anything."

Chloe smiled, "No wonder Auntie dotes on you."

Skylar showered Chloe with compliments, asking, "Auntie, does the drug really work like that?"

Chloe said, "Of course, I learned about it by accident."

Skylar cautiously asked, "Can you give me a little?"

Chloe frowned, "What do you want the drug for?"

Tears immediately welled up in Skylar’s eyes, pitifully, "Auntie, you know my current situation. I’m really driven to the brink by Paige. I can’t continue , or I’ll truly be finished. So I must fight back to secure a better future for myself and take care of you, right?"

Chloe was taken aback, then suddenly widened her eyes at Skylar, "You’re not planning to use this on your mom, are you?"

Skylar certainly didn’t admit directly.

"Auntie, I know you actually like Uncle Sterling, right? I can help you. If something happens to my mom and Uncle Sterling is heartbroken, wouldn’t there be a need for a gentle, kind woman by his side?"

Chloe was still a bit dumbfounded, lost in Skylar’s words.

For Skylar to even contemplate such a thing against her own mother, she was truly shocking.

But Skylar’s words also stirred feelings in her.

As the child’s aunt, she naturally had the right to often visit this motherless child, to frequently enter the Sterling Family. If Jared saw her being good to the child, wouldn’t he be compelled to marry her?

And as the lady of the Sterling Family, she could bear Jared a healthy son.

Moreover, it wasn’t she who was poisoning and killing Yvette. She wouldn’t have to bear the guilt of her sister’s death.

Chloe’s heart couldn’t help but heat up, "I won’t give you the drug. Having such thoughts is already wrong."

"Alright, don’t say anymore. I said I won’t give it to you and I mean it."

Chloe spoke righteously, "Skylar, I won’t let you keep making mistakes. After all, she is your mother..."

However, saying this, Chloe didn’t secure the drug, allowing Skylar to take it with ease in the end.

Chloe smiled, this niece, she truly had never disappointed.

Then she would just wait.

Although Skylar got the drug, she certainly didn’t dare to administer it herself. If caught, she would be absolutely done.

Besides, she could not enter the Sterling Family now. For Yvette’s safety, Jared prohibited her from going out. Even if she wanted to act personally, it was improbable.

While she was pondering what to do, Yvette called her, "Skylar, how are things going with that young man?"

Referring to the man introduced to Skylar on a blind date.

Skylar was displeased, "Mom, he’s not right for me. I won’t be with him."

Yvette frowned, thinking Skylar lacked self-awareness. It wasn’t about others not being suitable for her anymore; instead, she was unsuitable for others.

She tried to persuade Skylar for a while, but Skylar kept insisting she wanted to see her.

But Yvette didn’t agree, as her pregnancy was now her utmost priority.

She couldn’t afford to be out and about anymore.

Yvette refused to meet Skylar, increasing Skylar’s restlessness.

Fortunately, she finally found a solution.

Since getting pregnant, Yvette craved sour foods, and her young aunt-in-law catered to her cravings by regularly pickling preserves and sending them over. These were unlike the ones sold in stores, and Yvette became addicted to them, feeling drained without a few bites a day.

Yvette had finished the previous batch and began calling her young aunt-in-law again.

Skylar just needs to keep an eye on that side, and she’ll have plenty of opportunities...

Paige really never imagined Skylar could be that heartless, able to harm her own mother.

Moreover, the relationship between her and Yvette wasn’t particularly close. Despite several warnings from her, Yvette didn’t take it seriously, so she simply didn’t care anymore.

Meddling too much would seem like she’s interfering arbitrarily.

Besides, the Sterling matters are Jared’s concern; she need not be involved.

She’s been busy these days, unable to visit Yvette, let alone finding time for Julian — because she’s been occupied with the launch of Penson’s new product.

On this day, after returning from Islet Labs, she went straight to find Julian.

Consequently, as Julian led a group of elites out from the company, he saw Paige riding a bicycle across the street, waving at him.

The bicycle was modified by Paige, so powerful it barely qualified as a bicycle.
