“Someone just doesn’t want me to have a smooth pregnancy,” Wiona muttered.
She thought about the bruises scattered across her stomach, the nonstop nausea that left her dizzy every single day. How could she not feel resentful?
Dr. Cano watched her, his eyes full of sympathy.
“So… what are you planning to do now?”
Wiona was just waiting for the right moment.
Right then, her phone buzzed with a news alert. Salisbury Corporation had just gone public.
There it was. Her chance.
In five days, the Salisbury family would throw a massive party, inviting all the wealthy and influential people in Stonehill.
As Jace’s wife, Wiona only heard about it from Remy.
“Mrs. Salisbury, I actually learned about it when I was reporting your condition to Mr. Salisbury. Does that help you at all?”
“You didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have, did you?” Wiona asked.
“Of course not. I told him you’re stuck in the hospital on strict bed rest, getting daily IVs, and you can’t have any visitors.”
“You did great,” Wiona said.
“You mentioned before that you didn’t want money. So, what is it that you want?” she asked.
Remy finally said what was on her mind. “I heard the banquet is going to be at the old estate. If you’re going, would you mind taking me as your guest?”
Wiona understood right away. Remy had her own reasons for wanting to go.
She agreed.
After hanging up, Remy immediately called someone else.
“Hello, Mr. Sullivan? It’s Remy. I’ve found a way into the Salisbury estate.”
A deep voice came through the phone. “You’re moving too slowly.”
Remy pushed up her glasses, sounding a little nervous. “It’s not easy getting close to the Salisbury family. But I’ve made some progress. I struck a deal with Mrs. Salisbury.
“Mr. Sullivan, you said the last place that mysterious artist was spotted was the Salisbury estate, so you sent me to look for clues. But I still don’t get it. Is this artist a man or a woman?”
Mr. Sullivan’s voice was so cold it made Remy shiver.
