NovelEnglish1 locked eyes with Ava, and her surprise mirrored mine.
The recording ended abruptly with the sound of stomping feet.
“Is that Ethan storming away from Chloe?” | asked.
“l assso. Isn't it strange how rude and disgusted he seems towards his former mistress and future bride?”
| nodded in agreement.
“There's something else the device caught too,” Ava said as her thumbs moved over her phone screen. “It's
from a conversation that Chloe had with her future mother-in-law, Amelia.”
“Ethan’s mother,” | said in a low voice. “My former mother-in-law.”
Ava squeezed my shoulder. “Yes. It's from after a dinner at the Hawthorne estate. Amelia and Chloe seem to be
having a conversation in the garden.”
| nodded for her to play the recording.
“Please, can you just speak to your son,” Chloe's voice said through the phone speakers. Her tone was full of
anguish. “He's been so cruel tolately. | just love him so much. Why can’t he be kind to me?”
“I will not speak to him,” Amelia replied. Her cold voice sent a shiver through my body. It was an indifferent tone
| knew all too well. “You don’t have to marry my son if you don’t like the way he treats you.”

here and compete with Ethan to inherit the Hawthorne fortune. If that happens, your place in this family will be
jeopardized. Your luxurious life will go down the drain with just one phone call. Are you willing to risk that?”
My mouth dropped open in shock.
On the recording, Amelia is sputtering in indignation. “You nasty girl! How dare you threatenlike that! | knew
that you were an evil bitch when you stole my son away from Olivia. You will be the downfall of my son. | just
know it!“"
Woah. | couldn’t believe that Amelia was sticking up for me. | always thought she had disliked me.
“No, you will be the downfall of your son if you don’t help me!” Chloe
countered.
“If you continue with these threats, | will have no choice but to expose that your pregnancy is fake! | know that
you are only using it to trap my son so that he will marry you!” Amelia's loud voice shouted through the phone
and seemed to echo through the room.

“You don’t scare me,” Chloe's voice said from the recording. Her tone was full of malice and made the hair on the

Amelia gasped. “What kind of pictures?”
But Chloe wouldn't answer the older woman's question. She simply laughed.
“Chloe, what kind of pictures! Answerright this instant!”

should be careful with who you threaten. You might have a little... accident.”
Then, the recording abruptly ended.
Ava and | were silent for a long time, our thoughts occupied with what we had just heard.
“Woah, that was a lot,” | finally said and crossed my legs, turning toward her.
“I didn’t know that the Hawthrone family had so many secrets,” Ava said with wide eyes.
