Robert hesitated when he heard Winona’s words. He reluctantly withdrew his hand, muttering, “So what if he
finds out? Im his father. What's he gonna do about it?”
Winona, while internally dismissive of him, gazed at Robert with an adoring expression. “I know you're not afraid,
but you still have to think aboutand the baby, don’t you?”
Robert was easily swayed by Winona’s gentle demeanor, and he slid his hands under her clothes again. The two
of them kissed in the corner for a while longer until Winona finally told him to leave.
The moment Robert was out of sight, Winona’s expression darkened. The Carter family was her last chance, and
being Robert's mistress was her only option now. Everyone had forced her down this path. However, in her mind,
it wasn’t her fault; it was all Yvette’s fault. If Yvette hadn't shown up, none of this would have happened.
Zachary must be dead by now, right? The thought brought a wicked smile to Winona's face.
If Zachary was gone, Yvette would lose her strongest support. Then, Winona could use the Carter family’s help to
crush her and make her life a living hell.
With her hands on her belly, Winona slipped into an empty room. After carefully checking her surroundings to
ensure no one was watching, she swiftly shut the door and pulled out a hidden phone, calling someone.
As soon as it went through, a gruff voice cthrough.
Winona went straight to the point. “How did it go, Mr. Wilson? Is Zachary dead?”
Victor had been with her all day, so she had no idea what had happened outside. However, she knew Jason's
plan very well. In fact, without her urging, Jason would never have cup with such a thorough plan.
As long as everything went smoothly, Zachary, the man she had called “father” for over two decades, would be
done.
Winona didn’t feel sorry at all. She hated Zachary because he destroyed her dreams and stripped away her
status and wealth, leaving her with nothing.
After a few seconds of silence, Jason said in a hoarse yet angry tone, “Eric has been arrested and he ratted me
out. The police have already put out a warrant forthis afternoon. I'm hiding in an apartment building, scared
to cout. Can you getscash and giveyour mother’s address, Ms. Chambers? | plan to smuggle
myself into Mysonna to find her. Don’t worry, | won't drag you into this.”
Winona gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. She hadn’t expected Jason to be exposed so
quickly.
Winona was furious as she shouted, “How did this happen, Mr. Wilson? Didn't you say that Eric was reliable and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat he would never sell you out? And now, just a few hours later, the police are already looking for you! Did you
tell Eric that | was involved in this too?”
Jason quickly reassured her, “No, Ms. Chambers, | didn’t tell him anything about you. | just said it was all for the
Smith family’s revenge. He knows nothing else. Don’t worry. | just need smoney to get out of Clusia and go
find your mother.”
Hearing that Jason hadn't exposed her, Winona'’s attitude softened immediately. Her voice becgentle again.
“Mr. Wilson, I'm sorry, | was too agitated. You know, with the baby, I've becvery emotional. You know that
my mother fled to Mysonna because Zachary and Yvette destroyed the Smith family. They're the ones who've
been causing trouble. What's the situation with Zachary now? Is there any chance he can be saved!”
When the car accident happened, Jason had been watching from not far away. Given the circumstances, the
chances of Zachary surviving were slim. Therefore, with conviction in his voice, he reassured her, “Don’t worry,
Ms. Chambers. There's no way he’s alive, | saw Eric's truck smash Zachary’s car. With the impact, there's no
chance the person inside survived. You'll probably hear about his death tomorrow.”
A gleam of joy flashed across Winona’s face, though she quickly suppressed it. Now her primary concern was to
calm Jason down. As for his request for money to find her mother, she didn’t intend to say yes. “Where are you
now, Mr. Wilson? Sendyour location and I'll personally bring you the money tomorrow. 3.3 million dollars
should be enough to get you to Mysonna. Once you find my mother, the two of you can live together in peace.
No one will bother you again,” Winona coaxed softly.
The words Winona spoke filled Jason with an overwhelming sense of joy. He thought, “Is my long-held wish finally
coming True? | will soon be able to live forever with Nellic.
Jason thanked Winona repeatedly, told her the address, and made sure she would meet him at the promised
tbefore hanging up the phone.
Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, Winona stared at the disconnected call with a sneer on her face. She
thought, Jason was such a fool. He really thought my mother had been forced into fleeing to Mysonna and that it
was all in the nof revenge. Everything had been fine until his bumpkin brother confessed. I told him what to
say but still, he got exposed. Now Jason is still hoping to get 3.3 million dollars from me, huh? That's not gonna
happen!”
Winona had already noted down the location where Jason was hiding. She thought that people like him, who had
outlived their usefulness, should just be discarded like trash.
Winona’s pregnancy had been rough lately, and her legs were starting to swell, so she couldn't stand for too
long. She was also worried that Victor might wake up and find her gone from the bedroom, so she grabbed her
phone and carefully returned to the bedroom. Gently, she lifted the blanket and lay back down.
The doctor had advised her not to lie flat while pregnant, as it could cause the baby to lack oxygen, so she and
Victor always slept back to back. That was also why she didn’t see the hateful look in Victor's eyes.
Winona hadn't slept well because she had been preoccupied with how to deal with Jason. As a result, her face
looked a bit haggard the next morning.

Yulia looked at Winona with suspicion, finding it hard to believe what she said. After all, Winona had caused her
so much trouble since the pregnancy, and even her husband often scolded her for not being attentive enough
toward her.
Winona's face was earnest, and Yulia decided to believe her, attributing her ill behavior to the unstable emotions
that cwith pregnancy. “It’s fine. Just don’t lose your temper at innocent people next time.”

Winona nodded repeatedly, still stroking her belly.
