Chapter 1941 Schemes
Holding the glass of warm milk, Nina started to imagine the scene of the dinner tomorrow. Should I prepare anything?
Meanwhile, the atmosphere next door was gloomy. Maya was feeling troubled. She could not help but think how unlucky she was to have encountered something like that.
If she had called someone else at that time, Janice would not have ended up losing her baby. She did not know how others would feel, but to her, the life lost felt like a huge rock weighing her down, suffocating her.
She did not kill the baby with her own hands, but the baby had died because of her. How could she possibly make up for it?
Letting out a long sigh, she tried to dispel her thoughts of Janice and her innocent child. Yet, it led her to think of Mabel. Mabel would be returning to the Simpson residence. As she was the grandmother of Janice’s baby, Maya feared that she would try to find ways to avenge that innocent life.
“Ugh, it’s all because of Cloud Corporation! They could have knocked me out and taken me away. Why did they have to mess with a pregnant lady? Her baby was innocent!”
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Janice. Maya could not help but feel nervous. Sitting up, she cautiously picked up the call.
“Maya, are you asleep?”
“Not yet. Is there anything you need?” Maya spoke as though she was waiting for Janice, the debtor, to collect her debt. “No, but I was bored, so I thought of chatting with you. I hope I’m not disturbing you.”
“You’re not. How are you feeling?”
“I’m doing a lot better now. Thank you, Maya. Your mother has arranged for a nurse to take special care of me. If not for her, I wouldn’t know what to do all by myself.”
Her words were news to Maya. “Why are you alone? Aren’t Nicholas and Mrs. Simpson taking care of you?”
Janice replied, “T-They already left. Nicholas’ father called me earlier to inform me that they would only take me back to the Simpson residence the day after tomorrow. I will be taken care of by the maids then. Maya, if you have time to spare, please come visit me.”
“Sure.” “Oh, it’s getting late. You should go to bed soon.”
“Okay, I will visit you when I am free.” “Thank you!”
After they ended the call, Janice lay back on her bed and started to think about Wilbur. She thought it would be nice if he were there to take care of her.
As much as she hated to admit it, Nicholas was right about one thing. Even if she managed to split Maya and Wilbur, Wilbur might not want to marry her. Therefore, she had to think of a solution.
Right now, the ideal scenario is to get in between Maya and Wilbur while trying to capture Wilbur’s heart. When Maya is out of the picture, Wilbur will be more willing to accept me into his life. That will be the best for me.
But the impression I left on Wilbur will be difficult to change. Since everyone, including Wilbur, thinks I lost my baby because of Maya, I’m sure he feels sorry and grateful to me as well. Perhaps I can use that to my advantage.
Regardless, I can only set it in motion after I return to the Simpson residence. Mr. Simpson will give me ten million once I recover, and he will most likely make me leave the household and cut ties with the family. So I have to achieve my goal during this time.
I could join forces with Nicholas and Mrs. Simpson to destroy the relationship between Maya and Wilbur, but to get Wilbur, I will have to rely on myself. Mrs. Simpson does live up to her reputation. She’s insincere and pretentious. Who knows what would happen when I recuperate in the Simpson residence? I have to face her every day. It’ll be tiring to keep up my walls while trying to use her.
