Chapter 1085 Old And Miserable
As Sylvester began to speak, the surroundings immediately quieted down, and everyone's gaze fell
solely on him.
To divert their attention and prevent them from focusing on Karina and affecting her life, Sylvester had
no choice but to ruthlessly push Rainie into the spotlight.
I didn't want to put the woman in an awkward situation, but things had already escalated to this point.
Furthermore, the innocent Karina is now involved and has to bear all the responsibility.
"Karina did not ruin the relationship between Rainie and me. The reason we ended up like this is
entirely due to Rainie's lack of self-control, mingling with my cousin. When I initially brought Rainie
back to the Hollett family, Karina, in order not to put me in a difficult position, even specifically told her
relatives and friends that she was stepping back from the relationship. She is knowledgeable and
understanding, adept at reading people's emotions. She doesn't deserve these criticisms. You should
stop relentlessly pursuing her; she is not the one you should be focusing on. To my knowledge, after
the scandal broke out last night, Rainie left the Shurmer family to avoid causing them trouble. If you're
looking to stir things up, you should go after her. She's the one involved."
After hearing his strong and resolute words, Karina, who was held in Sylvester's arms, could no longer
hide the pride in her heart and slowly began to smile. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
In order to divert these reporters' attention away from me, he didn't hesitate to throw Rainie under the
bus. Just because of this, it's impossible for him and Rainie to reconcile.
Now that Rainie has left the Shurmer family, she will be treated like a rat crossing the street, with
everyone wanting to hit her. Even if she isn't deliberately made to suffer, her life will be as good as over.
Sylvester's words indeed pushed Rainie into an abyss.
Everyone knew that Rainie had left the Shurmer family, so she would have nowhere to hide once she
appeared in public.
After watching the news, Bailey was so furious that she smashed her phone in anger.
She felt defiant. Even if it was confirmed that the child in Rainie's womb was Sylvester's, she had no
intention of letting that jerk have his way.
What's there to hold onto in a man who can humiliate Rainie anytime, anywhere, and put her in
danger?
Since he had personally sent her to her grave, he should live out his days alone in regret.
He doesn't deserve a happy ending.
Just as Bailey was about to throw her phone, smash her computer, and was preparing to hurl a vase,
Waverly hurriedly walked in.
"Bay, I've found out news about Ms. Yeanisky. She's gone to the countryside. She's safe for now. Do
you want me to send someone to bring her back?"
With a mysterious expression, Bailey lowered her head to look at the shattered phone on the ground,
which was still emitting a faint glow.
Hallsbay has already become the center of public opinion storm, and Rainie's return won't be treated
kindly.
How should she handle herself in the face of these overwhelming criticisms?
Rather than letting her return to endure all this, it would be better to let her stay in the countryside and
enjoy some peaceful days.
Currently, she is not far enough along in her pregnancy to undergo amniocentesis for paternity testing.
I'll wait a month before visiting her again, help her understand the truth, and restore her innocence.
That's the right way to go.
"No need, just assign a few people to protect her. Don't let her get hurt. Although the internet in the
countryside is backward, it's not completely blocked. Rainie is a renowned actress and a household
name. When she visits the countryside, it's inevitable that she encounters some blabbermouths and
hears some foul stuff. Mom, just send some professionals to guard her, thoroughly clean up her
surroundings as much as possible, and shield her from any gossip or rumors."
"All right. I'll go and arrange it now. Alas, that young man from the Hollett family is really out of line. I
think he's been bewitched by a vixen. If he had even a tenth or a twentieth of Artemis' qualities, he
wouldn't have ended up in this situation. He deserves not to be able to find a wife in the future."
Bailey really wanted to say, "Artemis is not such a good guy either," but the words got stuck in her
throat before she could utter them.
Fine, Artemis is slightly better than Sylvester.
He would never send me off to a nightclub, nor would he ever lay a hand on me, and most certainly, he
would never use me as a shield against other women.
At most, he would just have a flirtatious and thrilling affair with his past lovers behind my back.
"Mom, I'm heading to Zaewora tomorrow. Please take good care of Rainie for me, and if you have time,
could you also give Victoria some guidance?"
Waverly didn't overthink it. She simply assumed that she wanted to tell Artemis in person about her
pregnancy.
"All right. I'll have your brother arrange a private jet for you and also set up a medical team to
accompany you. The journey is long, and your health is important. We can't afford to be reckless."
Bailey smiled without saying a word in response.
When I was pregnant with my first set of triplets, who cared whether I lived or died? Despite that, I was
still living well, wasn't I? I even gave birth to my children smoothly. For the first six months, I didn't even
consider myself pregnant. It wasn't until the late stages of my pregnancy, when the babies had grown
and my belly had become too large, that I finally accepted Victoria's help, allowing her to take care of
my daily needs.
At the Xuereb residence.
Inside the living room.
In just a week, Olivia had become extremely thin.
She truly regretted it.
Now, her own family was in decline. Her elder brother was in prison, her father was bedridden with
illness, her husband didn't care whether she lived or died, her son was estranged from her, and even
her only grandchild despised her.
Now, she felt truly alone in the world.
And the daughter-in-law, whom she had insisted her son marry, now strutted around arrogantly in front
of her, treating her as if she were less than human.
In just a few days, she had experienced a wide range of human emotions and the harsh realities of life.
In the bleakness of old age, with no devoted son by her long-term sickbed, she finally understood who
mattered most in this world.
"You're a complete mess and smell terrible. Who allowed you into the main house? Hurry up and return
to the infirmary. You're making a scene here."
Scarlett's voice reverberated from the staircase, causing Olivia, who was leaning against the
doorframe, to tremble with anger, her entire body on the brink of collapse.
With some effort, she raised her arm, pointing at Scarlett, and gasped, "You mistreat your mother-in-
law and disregard moral principles. You will face consequences."
Scarlett smirked, strolled to the door, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I don't know if I'll face
consequences, but your consequences are here. To be honest, the Fletcher family has long abandoned
me because Bailey has evidence that I caused a car accident resulting in several deaths. In the eyes of
my father and brother, I am now worthless. Even if your brother has committed a crime, or even if he
was wrongly accused by others, I wouldn't be able to save him. It's your own fault for being foolish and
unable to see the hidden truth. Now that your son doesn't favor me, don't even think about enjoying
your old age or doting on your grandchildren."
"Y-You..."
Unable to bear the weight of her own body, Olivia slowly slid down to the ground, using the doorframe
for support.
She slumped against the door, pounding her chest with her hand, expressing her deep regret and
anger, "I regret it. I hate it all. I ignored the good girl from the Revelle family and was foolish enough to
choose you. Now, I find myself in a desolate state in my twilight years, all because of you. It serves you
right that you're not the object of my son's affection. You deserve it!"
Scarlett's beautiful face began to contort, her eyes and brows revealing a hint of ferocity.
The greatest pain in her heart was not being able to capture a moment of Justin's attention.
How could she not be angry when this old woman kept bringing it up?
"You old fool, daring to curse me, just watch as I beat you to death."
