Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 287: This Matter Ends Here

Victor Grant didn’t want to suffer in silence like this; his brother was dead, and he needed answers. Moreover, if something was truly odd about Brianna White, given her hatred towards May Morgan, May could be in danger.

Getting rid of the issue swiftly would certainly be the most perfect solution.

After hearing Victor’s comments, the police awkwardly told him, ’Sorry Mr. Grant, this matter might not be as complex as you think. We’ve done a brief investigation into Brianna White’s background and found that she’s just an ordinary woman, definitely not as sinister as you’ve described. In this case, she’s at most a suspect and could even be a victim. As for how to handle it specifically, we’ll try to provide a satisfactory answer eventually.’

Probably afraid of Victor persisting, the police hung up on him immediately after saying this. Victor felt something was off, as if they were deliberately siding with Brianna.

Thinking this over, Victor called someone he knew to ask about the situation at the police station. Just as he suspected, Brianna had given her statement at the station and was promptly released on bail by Vincent Vance. The police had no intention of detaining her.

Upon further inquiry, Victor understood that Vincent had paved the way for Brianna behind the scenes, categorizing the case as a standard criminal affair. Since Brianna didn’t fit the suspicion of murdering three men, the police chose not to pursue her.

The matter ended quietly like that. Vincent clearly held more power than Victor in Silverwood City, so he was always more effective at resolving such issues.

Concerning compensation for the three families, Vincent agreed to provide generously as a moral responsibility. He acted decisively; the compensation was highly adequate, leading the families to abandon their rights to pursue the matter. Eventually, the case vanished into oblivion.

At this point, May felt entirely disillusioned with Vincent. She never imagined Vincent would be so obsessed with Brianna that he’d even cross legal boundaries and touch the darkness of human nature.

Fine, since this was his own choice, she just wished him and that woman a long life together, united forever.

On the day May left Silverwood City, she thought about visiting Maxwell Vance. She might never return again, not for shame, but simply to say goodbye.

Victor drove her to the hospital, where Maxwell lay motionless in bed. Their timing was bad; Maxwell was about to relieve herself, and since she needed bed rest, the servant had to help her with a bedpan.

She was truly miserable, her whole body starting to swell. After repeated injections for pregnancy preservation, her body struggled immensely, becoming severely uncomfortable. Lying immobilized made her condition worsen; despite being well-taken care of, she felt life was worse than death.

When May arrived, Maxwell was throwing a tantrum in bed. She couldn’t scream, fearing loud noises might affect her pregnancy, so she cried softly. However, constant crying during pregnancy wasn’t healthy for the fetus either, so the servant, while assisting her, tried to console her: ’Miss Maxwell, please open your mind a bit; for the child’s sake, you need to bear it. Besides, it’s not forever—hang on for just eight more months, and it’ll be over.’

Maxwell, who had never endured such suffering, felt her whole body aching unbearably from lying still. Despite this, she couldn’t move or roll over.

’Eight months? I can’t even last a month; soon I’ll go insane. If this continues, the child won’t be born before I lose my mind.’

Amid tears, Maxwell complained to Audrey Vance beside her: ’Aunt, where’s Adam Owens? Did he sneak off to see May again? I’m enduring all this to bear his child; how can he treat me like this? Is he being fair to me?’

Audrey, exhausted from caring for Maxwell, found Maxwell’s suspicious nature and blunt words unbearable, to the point where she couldn’t watch anymore.

’Maxwell, doesn’t Adam need to work? Shouldn’t he handle the piles of business here? Stop overthinking; he’s separated from May now, they have no ties.’ 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

’I don’t believe it. I ask him to call me at least ten times a day, yet why doesn’t he call even once a day? Has he grown tired of me? I’m struggling to bear his child; how can he be like this?’

’Maxwell, enough! Aunt understands you’re suffering to have Adam’s child, but he’s not as worthless as you think. Expecting him to call ten times daily—is he not supposed to work? Should he just revolve around you all day?’ Audrey’s words grew more unpleasant, understandably, as faced with someone as neurotic as Maxwell, anyone would go mad.

Hearing her aunt speak so harshly made Maxwell cry again in frustration: ’Aunt, what are you saying? Who’s to blame for me ending up like this? Isn’t it Adam and May?’

’Come now, didn’t you cause May to lose her child too? Let’s not talk about her. At least your child is safe; poor May lost hers.’

Audrey, although somewhat biased towards Maxwell, held rather sensible views. When Maxwell caused May’s miscarriage, Audrey was upset; she never expected the child she watched grow up would be so ruthless, not sparing even an unborn child.

If not for fearing tension between the families, Audrey had wanted Adam to call off the engagement, unwilling to accept Maxwell as a daughter-in-law; a woman who could poison a pregnant woman, killing the baby inside, had to have a venomous heart. Keeping such a woman close caused worry she’d one day snap and poison her own food to kill her.

Maxwell hadn’t foreseen a day when Audrey, who always sided with her, would question her actions. Feeling aggrieved, she wept: ’Aunt, do you blame me for May’s miscarriage too?’

With a complex look, Audrey glanced at Maxwell and spoke in a low voice: ’I watched you grow; if you err, I naturally bear half the responsibility. Aunt is just addressing the matter: even if Adam and May were simply careless at that time, and even if May was deliberate, you deserved it, as you erred first, causing her miscarriage.’

Upon hearing this, Maxwell’s tears fell instantly: ’Aunt, I knew it; everyone would blame me. Actually, this really isn’t my fault. It was my brother who told me to poison, and he’s the one who gave me the drug. He said to abort May’s baby, so I did.’
