Chapter 35 

Jolene lay down unhappily. When she was about to reach his house, her cell phone rang. 

She had put her mobile phone in the grid next to the driver’s seat just now, and Bowen Evert asked her while driving, “Shall I pick it up for you?” 

Jolene was too weak to speak, so he said casually, “You can pick it up for me, turn on the hands–free.” 

She thought maybe Frank saw that she hadn’t returned for so long and asked her if she would return for dinner at noon. 

But when the phone was connected, Frank’s voice did not come from inside. 

It was a female voice. “Jolene? The money has already been sent to you. Do you want me to give you more to make up for your body? After all, you have just had an abortion. I am not as cruel as you…” Jolene opened her eyes, and the voice seemed to be Sophie’s. 

What money? 

She was stunned for a few seconds before realizing it. Could it be that the 1.8 million she had received just now was not Flora’s money for selling her necklace but Sophie’s money? 

She stood up and wanted to reach out to take the phone away, but Bowen quickly took it away. 

His tone was sharp. “What money, what abortion? Please explain clearly!” 

The other party was stunned momentarily, and the voice timidly said, “Brother–in–law?” 

“Sophie.” With a creak, Bowen pulled over to the side of the road. “What’s going on? Explain clearly!” 

Sophie had already started to stammer. “Bowen, I… it’s not my fault. I met Jolene in the hospital a few days ago and knew she was pregnant. She asked me for money and said she would take the child away or tell my sister if I didn’t give her the money. Bowen, you know how much my sister loves you, she…” 

Bowen hung up the phone. 

He didn’t speak or look back for a long time but just stared at Jolene from the rearview mirror for a long time. 

He got it. 

No wonder she had such a weak face. 

It was not a period. 

It was she who had just had an abortion. 

She had taken away their baby. 

And, by the way, she had extorted a large sum of money from Sophie. 

Jolene lay softly on the back seat. 

She hadn’t expected it to be revealed so soon. 

18 288 Nouchers 

Jolene hadn’t expected that things would turn out this way. 

Inexplicably, she had passively accepted Sophie’s money. 

Bowen finally spoke in a daze, “Is what Sophie said true?” 

How should Jolene explain it? 

In fact, she couldn’t say that it was all false. At least half of it was true. 

She had been pregnant, and she had taken the child. 

She thought about it seriously but still didn’t know how to 

answer. 

Bowen suddenly smiled. 

He turned his head from the cab with a smile, the sun shining from the back of his head, and his whole face looked very gloomy with the backlight. 

His smile was also particularly unsettling. 

He smiled and asked Jolene, “How much did Sophie give you?” Jolene didn’t speak. He flipped through Jolene’s phone and saw the 1.8 million income. 

The end of his laughter trembled. “If you had come to me directly, I would have given you more money than her. Only 1.8 million could have bought my child’s life.” 

Jolene curled up on the back seat, feeling pain in her lower abdomen. The rhythm was too rhythmic and hurt every 

three seconds, like the pain of giving birth. 

788 Vouchers 

She had never given birth to a child, so that was probably what labor pains felt like. 

Cold sweat ran down her face, and some flowed into her eyes, burning hot. 

She didn’t speak, didn’t explain, didn’t argue. 

After all, the child had already been lost, so it didn’t matter that much whether she received Sophie’s money or not. 

Didn’t Mrs. Evert say that the more Bowen hated her, the better she would survive in this city? 

She lay there like a corpse, and she knew that Bowen was a refined gentleman, so he wouldn’t come over and strangle her in anger.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Sure enough, he sat in the cab without moving, and his tone gradually calmed down. 

Flat with the slightest ups and downs. 

“Do you think I would have let you have a baby if you had come to me? Jolene, maybe I was too kind to you before, which caused you to misunderstand.”
