Chapter 988

In other words, even if every elder in the Redsont family adored Monique, would they really sacrifice the reputation of the entire family for her?

Stella doubted it.

In the past, she had believed blood and family matered more than anything.

That was why she had trusted Aaron completely.

But now she finally understood that even blood ties could not be trusted.

And Monique was not even related to the Redson family.

Would they truly go that far for someone they merely liked?

“You mean they might make Monique take the fall herself?” Jennifer asked.

“If Monique takes the blame, then she and Leon will be completely finished.”

Jennifer paused.

“You…”

“Clever, isn’t it?” Stella asked.

Jennifer fell silent.

It was.

It truly was brilliant.

Leon had always treated Monique like one of the guys, but Monique clearly wanted far more from him.

If she did not have feelings for Leon, why would she have gone to so much trouble to target Jennifer?

Why would she have framed her?

If Monique learned that she had now lost any possibility of being with Leon, she would probably lose her mind.

Jennifer no longer wanted Leon.

But the thought that Monique could not have him either still filled her with satisfaction.

“Stella, I seriously love you.”

Stella said nothing.

“When you went after the Wright family, I never thought you were putting this much strategy into it,” Jennifer continued. “You just seemed determined to make all of them suffer.”

Only now did Jennifer realize just how calculating Stella could be.

With a single move, she had destroyed any possibility of Leon and Monique ever being together.

“The Wright family wasn’t worth that much effort,” Stella said.

Why would she need elaborate schemes to deal with people like them?

She could simply attack them head-on.

There had been no need to conceal her intentions.

Of course, she was not hiding them now either.

Her goal was to make sure beon and Monique could never be together.

“Thank you,” Jennifer said again

She had felt frustrated at the thought of letting Monique return unharmed.

But now that she thought about it, Monique would return to Harbor City only to discover that Jennifer was gone and that she no longer had any chance with Leon.

Was that not a punishment in itself?

Judging by Monique’s behavior, she had probably loved Leon for years.

At this point, Jennifer no longer cared whether Leon valued his mother or Monique more.

What mattered was that no matter whom he chose, he and Monique would be finished.

“If the Redson family agrees to let Vivian take all the blame, what happens afterward will make her resent Monique too,” Stella

said.

Someone might impulsively agree to shoulder all the blame.

At first, it might not seem like much.

But the consequences that followed would be another matter entirely.

Eventually, every bit of affection could be worn away.

It had been the same with Stella and Evan.

No matter how deeply they had once cared for each other, all of it had eventually been consumed by one painful conflict after

another.

It would be easy for Vivian to accept the blame in the moment.

Living with everything that came afterward would be far harder.

“Whatever happens, thank you,” Jennifer said.

“What are you thanking me for? Go take care of the pregnancy.”

As long as the baby existed, Jennifer and Leon would remain tied together.

Considering how the Redson family had treated her, it was better to cut every last connection.

“I will,” Jennifer replied. “I need to have it done immediately.”

She felt exactly the same way as Stella

After everything that had happened in Harbor City, Jennifer now saw Leon with complete clarity.

And because she saw him so clearly, she intended to eliminate every possibility of them ever becoming entangled again.
