That night, because I drank too much water, I couldn't help but want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

However, the public restroom is on the first floor.

Passing by Julian's bedroom, I suddenly heard Melinda's voice coming from inside.

"When are you going to drive Joyce away? I don't want the baby in my belly to be born without a father!"

Julian took a deep breath and put his arms around Melinda.

"Don't worry, Joyce and I haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet. If we kick her out now, we'll get nothing."

"Even for the sake of our son, you have to be patient."

Melinda snorted coldly.

"But I've had enough. I'm ordered around by Shen Xiulan at home, and when I get out, I'm ordered around by that little bitch Joyce . Why is my life so miserable?"

" Also, does the medicine you gave that little bitch work? She's been taking it for so many days, why isn't she dead yet!"

When I heard that, I was horrified.

Isn't Melinda Julian's sister? Why does she sound like she's pregnant with Julian's child?

Aren't they biological siblings?

No wonder I've never met Melinda's husband.

Even when she was pregnant, it was Julian who always accompanied her for prenatal checkups.

And what about the medicine she mentioned? Was she trying to poison me?

No wonder I have been having nosebleeds for no apparent reason lately. I thought it was because the weather was too dry and didn’t take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, she was the one behind the scenes.

At this moment, Julian suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, " Why is it useless? Have you forgotten how Joyce 's mother died? Wasn't she poisoned by this medicine?"

After hearing what Julian said, my body couldn't stop shaking.

My mother passed away suddenly, and at that time, I was immersed in the grief of losing my mother.

I never thought that this was a premeditated murder.

And the murderer turned out to be the person sleeping next to me.

An inexplicable chill swept through my body.

Through the light coming through the crack in the door, I saw Melinda was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly a fierce look appeared on her face.

"If it doesn't work, just add a little more! Putting it off is not a solution."

"Hurry up and find a way to get the marriage certificate with her. If that doesn't work, create an accident. The sooner the better."

Julian nodded and touched Melinda 's belly. " Okay , I'll listen to you, but you don't have to rush. We have been planning for so long, a few days won't make a difference."

"Besides, Joyce is an only child. As long as we get the marriage certificate and let her die 'accidentally', all her family's property will be ours. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later."

…

My mind went blank.

I always thought that Julian was my non-blood relative.

Melinda 's appearance also made up for my lack of sisters.

But I didn't expect that the two of them were actually planning how to embezzle my family's property.

No wonder he kept urging me to get the certificate.

No, I have to find a way to avenge my mother!
