Jean's memory of that period was blurred. She only remembered that person wearing a large hat with a wide brim. She dressed loosely and was pregnant.
"She took me to a dark road. Then, I got into the car, and the car drove for a long time. When I regained my senses, I was under a bridge."
Jean aimlessly walked in a daze and then met Stephen.
Lilly was a little nervous and asked, "Who is that person?"
Jean pursed her lips. She looked at Lilly and answered, "You know her. It's Winona Jackson."
Lilly's eyes widened. Aunt Winona again? Aunt Winona killed Ms. Ugly to be with Uncle Liam. And then she secretly sent Mommy away?
Jean said, "She covered her face. I only saw her at a glance, then followed her."
If Lilly had not asked, Jean would not even remember it now.
"Why did she do that?" Lilly could not figure it out. Aunt Winona and Mommy have no hatred! Why did she hurt Mommy?
Jean shook her head. "I don't know. She's my sister-in-law. I remember that she was pretty good to me."
Jean and Lilly looked at each other. Lilly immediately said, "Let's find Daddy!"
Polly tilted its head and sang, "Daddy? Where is Daddy? Daddy, where did you go..."
Jean and Lilly suddenly remembered that Blake seemed to have gone to a meeting again. He was going to quit his job, but the other party refused.
Lilly said, "Then I'll go find Uncle Anthony!"
Lilly put on her shoes and ran to the study. Anthony was working in the study when he saw Lilly running in. He immediately caught the cutie who rushed toward him.
"Lilly, what's wrong?" Anthony asked.
Lilly pouted. "Uncle Anthony, I can't figure out a matter."
Anthony smiled. "Hmm? What's the matter?"
Lilly can even catch ghosts. What else can make her confused?
Lilly responded, "Aunt Winona took Mommy away in the past. I don't understand. Aunt Winona has no hatred for Mommy. Why did she do that?"
Anthony's smile froze, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Jean said that Winona took her away back then?" Anthony asked coldly.
Lilly nodded. Anthony stood up and said, "We can ask Winona about this matter."
He had vaguely guessed the reason. The Crawford family had eight sons, but Jean was the only daughter. As the only girl in the Crawford family, everyone doted on Jean. Before she disappeared that year, Winona would give birth after a few days.
If Winona knew in advance that she was pregnant with a daughter, she might send Jean away. In this way, Hannah would replace Jean and become the favorite child of the Crawford family! But Anthony could not believe Winona did that for such a simple reason. Moreover, Hannah had not been born at that time.
The car arrived at the prison soon. Winona was sentenced to 25 years for intentional homicide. It could be said that her life was over.
Seeing that Anthony brought Lilly to see her, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then she was ecstatic. After she was in prison, no one from the Crawford family came to see her, not even Hannah. Now that Anthony had brought Lilly to see her, she felt she had a chance to plead for a commutation of her sentence and even her release.
I knew I was wrong. It's tiring in prison! This kind of punishment should be enough! Will Anthony take me away? I promise I'll be a good wife and mother in the future!
"Anthony..." Winona's eyes turned red, and the handcuffs she was wearing jingled.
