Bound to My Billionaire Ex novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Instigation

"Well, this doesn't seem right." Ingrid hesitated. While losing the pills wasn't a big deal for her, she was concerned about the possibility of a thief living in this house. This was a cause for alarm.

But she was too embarrassed to reveal the stolen stuff. If it had been jewelry, she would have already asked the butler to search for it.

Hillary stared at Ingrid with a strange smile and turned the premium jade bracelet on her wrist, which Heidi had just given her. "Ingrid, tell me what you lost, so I can help you find it. Your expression is saying that it is something important. If the thief was one of those two women, then there is a chance for Grandpa to see their true colors. You know, Grandpa may have been tricked into giving them much valuable stuff. I'm not interested in the stuff, but it belongs to our family. Even if we don't want it, it's not for outsiders like Rejoyla to take. They've driven Georgina out of the house, and it might be our turn next."

Working far from the house, Charlotte and Dahlia lived elsewhere to avoid long commutes and returned only on weekends. So among the young people, only Ingrid, Georgina, Hillary, and also Jason stayed here.

Hearing this, Ingrid frowned slightly and glanced around to make sure no servants were nearby. She leaned over to Hillary and whispered, "I'll tell you, but you must keep it a secret!"

"My lips are sealed!"

"It's contraceptives. I drank too much last night, and my memory became hazy. I thought I bought a bottle of contraceptives, but I couldn't find it in my bag this morning. I got a shock! Am I mistaken?" Ingrid rubbed her temples as she still felt a bit dizzy.

Hillary was surprised-no wonder Ingrid was hesitant to speak up. The Sterling family had a strong set of rules and principles for every member, except for Jason. If the elders were to discover that Ingrid messed around outside, she would become useless and no longer able to compete with Hillary.

If Rejoyla had stolen the contraceptives, what did she need them for? For sure, she was attempting to hide her indiscretions from her private life! If this was found out, both Rejoyla and Ingrid would lose their place in this family. Now, the only uncertainty was if Rejoyla had taken the contraceptives. But whether it was true or not, Hillary only needed to ensure that the contraceptives were in Rejoyla's room.

Hillary fluttered her long eyelashes, trying to conceal the coldness in her eyes. Humph, she had been trying hard to please Burton and Heidi, but they didn't care about her! Infatuated with a woman who had married multiple times, Burton even introduced Elvis to Rejoyla! Wasn't it his own granddaughter that he ought to be considering?

"Rejoyla, I hoped for us to maintain a distance, but now that you go against me, I have no choice but to drive you out of the Sterling family! If the contraceptives are found in your room, you'll be regarded as a shameless bitch just like your mother. By then, neither our family nor Elvis will accept you." Hillary thought. She was determined to stop Rejoyla from meeting Elvis!

"You're overthinking this. If you're not sure, just say you lost something else and search her room." Hillary said in a casual tone.

Ingrid's face lit up with joy, but then she paused and asked, "What if I say I lost something but we can't find it in her room?"

What a fool!

For the sake of Elvis, Hillary patiently explained, "That's easy. Just make it found there!"

Ingrid immediately got what Hillary meant. Being merely a drag on her mother, Rejoyla was inferior in this family. It didn't matter to wrong such a person. Anyway, she had followed Jacquelyn here just for money. If she hadn't stolen anything, Ingrid would be generous enough to give her some money!

Having made up her mind, Ingrid had no mood to eat more and hurried upstairs. Hillary watched Ingrid's back and revealed a slight smile.

Before Rejoyla could walk to the nearest subway station, she was called back by Jacquelyn.

Yes, she walked there because the drivers serving the Sterling family were busy. Of course, this was just an excuse. If other members needed a ride, the drivers wouldn't dare to refuse. She knew better than to cause a fuss and optimistically took it as a workout.
