Chapter 1919 Scheming Janice
“It’s a good thing that Maya’s sharp-tongued. That way, she won’t get bullied when she gets married into the Simpson family. I hope she’s firm and strong so no one will dare to lay a hand on her.”
Nicole grinned. Evan adores his daughter. “The Simpson family won’t dare to lay a hand on her as she’s your daughter.”
“I hope so. Otherwise, I’ll make sure they pay the price.”
Evan wanted Maya to be happy, but Janice was plotting to separate Maya and Wilbur in secret. She wanted Wilbur for herself. After racking her brains, Janice failed to formulate a plan to gain Maya’s trust in the fastest way possible. That was a crucial step.
She was pacing back and forth in the living room when her phone rang. Realizing it was a call from Mabel, she brightened up immediately.
“Right, Mabel doesn’t want Wilbur to end up with Maya too. Once Wilbur gets the Seet family’s support, Nicholas won’t get to inherit the company! We have the same goal—to separate Wilbur and Maya. I should work with her and play along with her until I achieve my goal!”
With that thought in mind, she answered Mabel’s call. Mabel was bored in the hospital and wanted to talk to someone. Thus, she summoned Janice and told her to buy some stuff.
“All right. Let me know what you want, and I’ll get it for you,” Janice promised.
Without hesitation, Mabel asked for some expensive supplements. Janice’s expression turned dark upon hearing her request.
She doesn’t need someone to keep her company. In truth, she just wants stuff from me.
Janice knew for a fact that Mabel didn’t like her even though she was pregnant with Nicholas’ child. She doesn’t like me but is ordering me around and taking advantage of me. What a despicable woman!
She muttered unhappily, “I wouldn’t have spent the money to buy you stuff if I didn’t need your help to separate Maya and Wilbur!”
Reluctantly, Janice bought the stuff Mabel asked for and headed to the hospital.
Before entering the ward, she forced out a pleasant smile and knocked on the door.
She had to go against her will and attempt a smile. A young child would smile whole-heartedly, but an adult’s smile was nothing but an expression.
“Come in!” Mabel’s voice rang out.
Janice ambled into the room with a few shopping bags full of expensive supplements. She placed the bags on the table and didn’t forget to ask Mabel if she had bought the correct supplements.
After going through the stuff, Mabel complained briefly about the supplements, saying they weren’t the best ones.
Janice fell silent. I spent a lot of money on these. I’ve never even bought any for my mom. Despite cursing inwardly, she remained smiling and asked, “Mrs. Simpson, should I exchange them?”
“Forget it. I shall take them for now. Next time, get the best ones for me!”
Next time? Wow, I can’t believe it. She’s wretched enough to ask for the next time? Your son can do it. I’m not going to serve you. Besides, I’m pregnant. You didn’t even give me anything or remind me to take care of my baby. Instead, you want me to sacrifice for your sake. What a heartless woman!
“All right. I’ll keep that in mind,” Janice replied politely and tamped down her irritation.
Mabel changed the topic at once. She started talking about Janice and Nicholas’ relationship.
“Janice, as you’re pregnant with Nicholas’ child, you should put your child first. Do you understand?” she said.
Janice nodded thoughtfully.
“I’m glad you understand. If Wilbur gains control of the Simpson family, your child won’t get anything in the future. If Nicholas gets the company and assets, that will be a different matter. Your child will inherit everything! For his sake, you should help Nic get the company and assets.”
Janice bobbed her head. “I understand. I’ll help my child and Nicholas. However…”
