Chapter 187

Cassandra was long used to Evelyn’s cranky nature. So now that the old lady mentioned Lillian’s hospital stay, she didn’t mind dragging out some old grudges.

“Grandma, do you even know what ‘stay in your lane’ means? Basically, mind your own business and don’t force your opinions on others. I want the baby in her belly to be a girl, that’s my thought. You don’t get a say in that.” She paused, caught the sour expression darkening Evelyn’s face, then smirked and went on, “And why is Lillian in the hospital to begin with? All because she tried to kill me, and got so worked up about being caught that it messed with her pregnancy. Imagine that—a pregnant woman plotting to murder her own stepdaughter. Between us, who’s the real psycho?”

Her words hit like a bomb, and everyone’s face went pale.

This was the first time Evelyn had been slapped down like this by Cassandra—totally humiliated. She was livid, her hand shaking as she pointed at Cassandra, face flushed with rage.
