Chapter 278 A Perfect Idea
After returning home, Norah carefully cleaned both earrings.
She was relieved to see that the earrings still had the same soft luster as before.
Then she put the earrings in a ring box and handed them to Shawn seriously. "Here's your stuff back...
Take a look."
Shawn didn't reach for it. "Didn't we just talk about this? You can have it."
"If you don't want it, then I..."
Shawn snatched the box and made a move to throw it.
Norah immediately grabbed his arm in shock. Then she shouted, "Shawn, don't be impulsive. When did
I say I didn't want it? I want it. I'll just take it."
Shawn withdrew his arm. He then put the earring case right into the large pocket of Norah's down
jacket.
Meanwhile, Shawn took Norah's hand and headed out the door.
"Where are we going?" Norah asked in disbelief.
"To take you home."
His answer really surprised Nora.
"But you said you were hungry and asked me to make you a cake, didn't you?"
"I'm not so cold-blooded to let you make a cake this late at night when you're sick. Anyway, I had three
chances. I'll have plenty of chances later, but you need to be able to come over anytime if I want to
eat."
Norah was speechless.
As expected, she knew Shawn wouldn't let her off the hook so easily and that he must have had his
offers.
By the time Norah got home, it was midnight. Norah took a hot shower and then lay down on her bed
and went to sleep.
Lilian recuperated for a while under Rosalyn's care. And she recovered well.
As long as Lilian didn't exercise strenuously or do sports like climbing mountains, she could already
walk down the ground normally.
Seeing Lilian getting better, Rosalyn felt that her efforts had paid off.
"Lily, that's great. I'm surprised you can actually walk. I'm sure Norah is no match for you now." Rosalyn
said excitedly.
Lilian shook her head. Compared to her previous false confidence, she seemed extraordinarily calm
now.
"Rosie, you're wrong. Even though I can walk, Shawn is no longer the person he used to be a few
years ago. Norah's position in his heart has long been different."
"How can that be? Lily, so what should we do now? You're so smart. You must have a solution."
Rosalyn flustered. Lilian chimed in, "Now, my being vulnerable is no longer working. Not only will it not
make Shawn sympathize with me, but it will make him detest me."
"So, I've come up with another perfectly good idea."
Rosalyn asked impatiently, "What good idea?"
Smiling coldly, Lilian took out a packet of pills and put it in front of Rosalyn. "As long as you put this pill
in Shawn's glass. Once he drinks from this glass, we'll have a chance."
"By the time I've had sex with him and am pregnant with his child, do you think Norah is qualified
enough to compete with me for being Mrs. Lawson?"
As Rosalyn listened to Lilian speak, she shook her head frantically without thinking.
"No. I can't. Lily, your idea is good, but it's too risky. If you don't make it, or if my brother finds out, he'll
kick me out of the Lawson family. And I'll lose everything."
Lilian knew Rosalyn was timid.
But the most crucial figure to the success of her plan was Rosalyn. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Without Rosalyn, Lilian wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near Shawn, let alone put this pill in
Shawn's glass of water.
"Rosie..."
Lilian adjusted her tone. She spoke to Rosalyn with reason and compassion. "I know your concern.
How could I not?"
"I've told you before that your brother already has feelings for Norah. Now, this is our last chance. If I
don't firmly grasp the opportunity to become your brother's wife while I can, I will never have another
chance."
"The longer it goes on, the deeper your brother's feelings for that woman will grow. At that point, we'll
really be at the end of our rope. And we'll have no chance left."
"But now it is different. We still have this last chance. We must seize it. And then, we'll make a
turnaround."
Admittedly, Rosalyn was at the mercy of Lilian.
Moreover, Lilian had a hold on Rosalyn's heart.
In terms of mental games, Rosalyn was no match for Lilian.
"Lily, what you said does make sense, but how can you guarantee that you will succeed? What if you
fail? What if you don't get pregnant? How are we going to end this?"
As arrogant and bossy as Rosalyn sometimes spoke and acted, she had always been timid around
Shawn.
Without Lilian egging on her, Rosalyn couldn't even think of doing something like that.
"Rosie, I promise that if you do what I say, I will never fail. I'm sure I'll make it."
"Even if everything goes well, how can you be sure you'll get pregnant? Your chances of getting
pregnant are too slim. Lily, I still think it's too risky."
Lilian continued to coax patiently, "Rosie, I understand your concerns, but you don't know Norah. She's
in love with your brother. She would never turn a blind eye to it."
"As long as you let her see me and your brother lying in the same bed when the time comes, even if
nothing happens between your brother and me, and even if I'm not pregnant, your brother and Norah
will never be together. Do you understand?"
Rosalyn agreed with that point.
"Lily, you have a point, but I..."
"No buts."
Seeing that Rosalyn was still cowering, Lilian finally went mad and yelled this time.
After yelling, Lilian looked at Rosalyn and spoke earnestly.
"Have you forgotten what kind of life you and your mum have had all these years? How many times
have you suffered from a cold shoulder? Have you forgotten how many times you have been
ridiculed?"
"Even if it wasn't for you, wouldn't it be worth taking a risk once for your mum? Your mother has been
enjoying a fancy life for most of her life, and you're just going to put up with her being poor for the rest
of her life?"
"I promise that as long as I make it, I will return all of your original shares to you. At that time, you and
your mother don't have to manage the company. You only need to wait for the huge dividends every
year. You and your mum can still live the same dashing life as before."
This time, Lilian hit Rosalyn's heart with every word.
Without further thought, Rosalyn looked at Lilian and nodded seriously. "Okay, Lily. I promise you. I'll do
as you say."
"Then keep this packet of pills. I'll find an opportunity to call Shawn over to the house in the next couple
of days. I happen to be ovulating in the next few days."
After thinking about it for a moment, Rosalyn was a little embarrassed and shaking her head. "Lily,
there's going to be a memorial ceremony for my grandfather soon. There's no way Shawn will be
coming over in the next couple of days, no matter what the reason."
"The memorial ceremony for your grandfather?"
After thinking about it, Lilian suddenly smiled and said, "Really? That's even better. I'll pick that day to
go to the Lawson family, and I want everyone to see me lying with him."
