Jenny pulled a face of injustice and said to everyone, "You all heard it. That was recorded a month ago. Agnes has been trying to make me get rid of the baby, but I never thought she would do something so outrageous. Agnes, how could you be so heartless, you criminal..."
Agnes started to tremble uncontrollably again.
This deep-seated fear was surging from within her.
The recording was indeed from Agnes, but at the time, she knew Jenny's intentions and said it casually, trying to shake off Jenny's pestering.
Agnes never thought Jenny would be so prepared. She must have seen this day coming from back then.
Agnes thought the person in front of her was too horrifying.
She wanted to say something, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.
Hancock Taylor and Sarah looked at Agnes with shock and disappointment.
Jenny's crying echoed in the ward as she kept saying, "Agnes, why did you want to kill my and Elton's child? Agnes, I won't let you off. I will make you pay, you criminal..."
Hancock Taylor sighed and walked over to Elton, who had been silent.
Hancock Taylor asked, "This mess happened because of you. What are you going to do now?"
Elton hadn't really looked at Agnes from start to finish. Now, he finally spoke, "I will get engaged to Jenny."
Elton's answer surprised everyone.
Sarah was the first to react, "Have you lost your mind? She doesn't have your child anymore, and you still want to get engaged to her? We, the Taylor family, are the upper class of Willowbrook Town. Your future marriage should be well-matched. You can't be so reckless."
Elton firmly said, "I will get engaged to Jenny as soon as possible, then study abroad. Haven't you always wanted me to study business management in the US? I will take Jenny with me."
