Chapter 418 To Frame Him
Nicole let it go and reminded the older woman about the topic of their phone call instead. As expected, Betty
couldn’t remember anything.
Nicole stared at the note she left on the bedside when an idea occurred to her. The paper is written with the date
we had the call, so it might be one of the pages on the particular book.
Fixing her gaze on the ground as she pondered, she then asked, “Ms. Betty, do you still remember you’ll be handing
a notebook to me today?”
As expected, Betty showed a confused look at Nicole’s question and shook her head.
Nicole sighed in resignation. I guess she can’t remember this, either.
Betty considered for a moment and suggested, “You can look around. Maybe you will find it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKnowing she couldn’t depend on Betty’s memory to remember anything for the time being, Nicole began to search
around the house with the older woman’s permission, in hopes of finding out what happened between her mother
and Lydia in the past.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t find anything useful in the house. Moreover, Betty had forgotten the existence of the
notebook and couldn’t provide her any hint of its whereabouts.
At last, she simply gave up on her search without many choices. Worrying about leaving Betty alone in the
apartment, Nicole kept badgering the elderly woman until Betty eventually agreed to visit the hospital. Once she
got Betty settled in, Nicole left for home.
Hayden had stuck to Nicole’s side throughout the whole day, and he indeed noticed something didn’t add up.
Even though Betty was living in an old apartment area without surveillance cameras, there were other cameras in
the surroundings to begin with.
Hence, Hayden accessed the security footage nearby and began his investigation.
More From The Web
Among all of the cars passing by the area before they visited Betty, he found his suspect.
A middle-aged woman got out of the particular car. Despite her look seemingly out of place, she stepped into the
area just like that.
Hayden could only get hold of the picture of the woman walking into the apartment area due to the limited shooting
range of the cameras. He sent his findings to his mother nevertheless. Nicole immediately clenched her hand
around her cell phone angrily once she studied the photos, because the woman in them was none other than Lydia.
It’s no doubt she was coming for Ms. Betty, or else a woman like her wouldn’t bother to show up at such a slum!
“Mom,” Hayden called out in a quiet voice, as he was worried watching his mother’s face scrunching up in rage.
Hearing his words, Nicole succeeded in suppressing the anger showing on her face, but the anger was burning even
stronger in her crystal clear eyes.
Lydia must’ve known I’m meeting Ms. Betty today and is afraid of me knowing her dirty business. That’s why she
was deigning to visit an unlikely place and poison Ms. Betty!
Nicole was even angrier thinking of what Lydia had done to Betty.
No, I can’t panic. I must have the patience to wait until they make a mistake.
“It’s fine. I’ve calmed down. Thanks a lot, Hayden.” Nicole crouched to hold his gaze and smiled as she patted him
on the head.

force a smile if you’re not feeling it.”
Meanwhile, Queenie was finally aware of the changes in her body. Since Bryan had been keeping her as his mistress
for a time, it indicated he was indeed satisfied with her physically, as he always wore her out after a whole night of
messing around.
At first, she would remember to take the birth control pills. After a while, however, she started to forget to take the
pills.
she was pregnant with Bryan’s child.
Even though the man was wealthy, Queenie remembered he was married, and his wife wasn’t someone to mess
with in the first place. Queenie knew only to expect the worst if Bryan’s wife found that his mistress was pregnant.
Queenie paled at the thought of dying at the woman’s hand. As she rested her hands on her belly, a vicious look
flashed in her eyes. I can’t let the kid live.
As for now, I must make the most out of the baby and benefit from it.
But I definitely can’t count on Bryan. I don’t want to get on his wife’s wrong side. Even if I show up in front of them
with a very pregnant belly, I surely won’t be able to gain anything.
Looks like there’s only Colton left.
