Chapter 714 Stirring the Ho’s Nest

    “Within three days, I want that woman dragged in front of Ste,” Madam Evelyn ordered coldly. “Let that wretch exin herself face–to–faceb./bb” /b

    Ste froze. “…”

    Madam Evelyn turned and saw how frightened she looked. Quickly softening, she sat down beside her, pulling her small hand into her own. “Pregnant women always let their minds run wild. Do you really think your husband is that kind of man?”

    “You’ve known him since you were little.”

    “I… I called him, but he didn’t answer,” Ste whispered.

    “So that’s why you panicked?”

    “1

    Was she really panicking? Did she believe in him?

    Deep down, she did trust Abraham. Still, through the years, plenty of women had tried to get

    close to him.

    She remembered thest banquet, when Melissa had made her interest in Abraham painfully obvious.

    When Ste stayed silent, Madam Evelyn sighed. “Fine, fine. Pregnant women always overthink. I did the same when I was carrying children.”

    Unstable hormones, restless thoughts–it was only natural.

    Madam Evelyn had no doubts about her son’s fidelity.

    What infuriated her was that under her very nose, someone dared to pull a stunt like this.

    If they could act so brazenly now, then what about all those years Ste had spent alone outside? How much had she suffered then?

    The thought of her precious girl enduring humiliation made Evelyn’s chest ache.

    “Even if the unthinkable happened, your mother would make it right for you. Understand?”

    At that, Ste began to calm down.

    Thinking it over, she realized Abraham truly wasn’t that kind of man.

    “Momb… /bI thinktely I can’t control my temper. I cry all the timeb.” /b

    “And my thoughts just won’t stop running wild.”

    She knew something bwas /boff with her.

    Madam Evelyn hugged her close. “That’s all part of pregnancy. Perfectly normal, hm?”

    Her soothing words steadied Ste little by little until her heart finally settled.

    Not long after, Abraham called.

    The call went straight to Ste’s phone, and just as she reached for it, Madam Evelyn snatched it up. “You rascal! How could you let something like this happen?”

    “Give the phone to Ste,” Abraham said tly.

    “She just cried herself out. I barely calmed her down. When are youing back?”

    “I’m already on my way to the airport.”

    Hearing that, Madam Evelyn finally rxed. She passed the phone back. “Here, your husband’sing home.”

    She had wanted to keep the two of them apart while Ste carried the triplets. She knew her son’s nature too well–after all these years of restraint, she feared what might happen if they were constantly together.

    But who would have thought sending him away on a trip would bring trouble like this to their door?

    Headache upon headache.

    Ste put the phone to her ear, her lips trembling. “Honey.”

    The word caught in her throat, breaking with a sob.

    “What’s this crying about?” Abraham asked. “Did someone bully you?”

    “I…”

    “They’ll find the one behind this and bring her to you. You can decide her fate yourself. All right?”

    It wasn’t an exnation, and yet it exined everything.

    If he truly had another woman out there, he would never have said such a thing.

    “R–really?”

    “Of course. You don’t believe meb?/bb” /b

    “I do,” Ste mumbled.

    “Then why are you crying?b” /b

    “1

    Anyone who suddenly received a positive pregnancy test in the mail would immediately connect it to their husband.

    When Ste didn’t answer, Abraham sighed.

    “You’re just letting your imagination run because you’re pregnant.”

    “I’m hanging up now.”

    Flustered, Ste ended the call.

    Madam Evelyn chuckled. “See? Nothing to worry about.”

    “But he didn’t deny it,” Ste muttered.

    “Of course he didn’t,” Evelyn said. “It has nothing to do with him–what is there to deny?”

    She pinched her daughter–inw’s cheek affectionately.

    With more gentle coaxing, she finally soothed Ste enough to send her upstairs to rest, attendants instructed not to leave her side.

    Atst, she was calm.

    The butler approached quietly. “Ma’am.”

    “Find the one behind this,” Madam Evelyn ordered, her voice edged with lethal intent.

    To target Ste now was to trample the Dawson family’s bottom line.

    Anyone bold enough to do it needed to be ready to be torn apart.

    “Men are already on it,” the butler confirmed.

    “And Marie?” Evelyn asked.

    “Mr. Nathaniel went to the Morris castle. He leveled itpletely. Made quite a scene.”

    Evelyn nodded. “Dan dared humiliate Marie years ago. It’s only right he pays a price now.”

    “But this time, she suffered for it too. He locked her up overnight. Only when Mr. Nathaniel

    arrived was she freed”
