Chapter 435 – The Two Join Forces
The visitor was Elena Lawrence, Dad’s recently adopted goddaughter.
Based on their ages alone, she would have to call the other a sister.
However, she had no way to call her sister, this person and Moren Howard were on the same side, they were not good people in a nest of snakes and rats.
So the first thing she saw was indifference, “What are you doing here?”
“I came to see you, nothing more.” Elena Lawrence showed extraordinarily friendly, and even brought the other party a bowl of bird’s nest tonic, or the kind that is good for the fetus in the womb.
Ilya didn’t want to accept any of her solicitous gestures of goodwill, she thought from the bottom of her heart that the other party must have ulterior motives.
“Don’t think that’s going to make me accept you, you and Moren Howard are the same thing.”
“How can you conclude that I’m who you think I am when you haven’t even gotten to know me or gotten close to me? Besides, I don’t think that Moren he’s the type of person who’s guilty of the most heinous crimes.” Elena Lawrence spoke in a calm tone as she recounted what she believed to be the truth in her mind.
But when she said that, it made Ilya’s anger even worse, and a pillow was thrown at her, hitting Elena Lawrence right in the stomach.
You know that area nowadays is precious, good thing this pillow is soft and not much lethal, so Elena Lawrence is not very concerned about, and even stooped down to pick up the pillow and patted the dust twice and then put it back on the bed as it was.
“Ilya, I’m as pregnant as you are, which I’m sure you should know, and I’m sure you meant no harm by your actions just now.” She sat down on the edge of the bed as she had done herself, assuming the position of someone she wanted to have a long conversation with.
Ilya shifted her position a little toward her reverse position, setting up an attitude of resistance to her.
But Elena Lawrence had come here today with a purpose, so how could she back down so easily?
She’d given serious thought to the fact that it would be impossible for her to get Moren Howard to stop on her own, and the only person she could use today was Ilya.
For one thing, she was pregnant like herself, and the two of them had a common language, and it was easier to communicate, and she believed that as long as she communicated with love and reason, the other party would definitely not sit back and do nothing.
In addition, she also from other ways to understand Ilya in the end how a person, she just have a kind of intuition, as long as she came to find Ilya, Ilya will not be ignored.
From the beginning to the end, what she wanted was very little, she just hoped that the love of her life could stay with her in one piece.
As long as there were no murders, there was still room for negotiation.
“Ilya, I’m like you, I’m in love with a man. I knew what he was doing was wrong, but there was nothing I could do to stop him. I really tried, but there was nothing I could do to stop his heart that wanted to avenge his brother’s death.”
“Do you know how powerless I am inside? Both being women as well, I believe you can understand me. I just hope he can stop in time before it’s irreversible, and also build up some yin and yang for me and his children.”
“Ilya, that’s why I want to ask you to help me, and I know it’s unlikely that I can get you to help me based on my three words alone today. So can you be patient and listen to what I have to say next?”
Elena Lawrence’s words were spoken with unparalleled sincerity, and the look on her face was all sincere, surprisingly leaving Ilya with absolutely no room for rejection.
“Okay, go ahead.”
After receiving Ilya’s nod of agreement, Elena Lawrence recounted what he had learned about Moren Howard one by one.
Speaking from the mental hospital to Moore Howard’s influence on him, and then talking about what he did nowadays, it could be said that every word was sincere and sobbing, and there was no falsehood.
“No one is born a bad person, some people just can’t choose. Moren he is also very innocent ah, was sent to a place like the mental hospital as soon as he was born, and his big brother is his only salvation the only light.”
“I really do hope that you guys will give him a chance and not put him out of business.”
With that said, Elena Lawrence couldn’t help but get choked up over the tragic experiences her Moren has had since he was a little boy.
Hearing her heart-warming confession, Ilya could not possibly not be a bit shocked , and she even sympathized a bit with this person, Moren Howard.
If she were to switch places with him, she might not be able to do better than him.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
The bottom of her heart was suddenly flooded with a burst of sadness, why some people’s lives are full of misery, the only ray of light is also to be deprived of.
Even though that Moore Howard wasn’t a good person, but just from what Elena Lawrence’s narration sounded like, he was at least a good big brother.
“You give me some time, I want to think about it.” Still, she couldn’t make up her mind right away; after all, Francesca Jones had been so badly injured because of Moren Howard.
The term “disabled right leg” should not have been applied to Francesca Jones, but because of Moren Howard’s design, Francesca Jones was never able to stand up again.
As Francesca Jones’ beloved woman, she also felt sorry for Francesca Jones.
Even as she empathizes with Moren Howard today, it is hard to hide the immense damage he once inflicted on Francesca Jones.
“No, I don’t have time to wait any longer, and you don’t have time to reconsider. Moren’s madness is beyond anything you or I can imagine, and as long as we’re one step behind, we’ll never know what kind of near-extinction awaits us next.”
Elena Lawrence was inwardly anxious; if she hadn’t been able to delay his plans for revenge with her sudden pregnancy, there was no telling what devastating plans Moren Howard might have implemented.
At those words, Ilya was silent for a long time, and Elena Lawrence didn’t urge her to wait in silence.
She believed that Ilya, a woman with such a deep sense of justice, would not fail to understand the reasoning behind it.
Sure enough, after thinking for a long time, Ilya finally nodded slowly.
“I promise you, as long as it’s something I think you’re doing the right thing, I will cooperate one by one. But you’ve been living in the house for such a period of time, and you also know the situation I’m in nowadays. I’m on my own these days, so how can I help you.”
When Ilya thought of the situation where she was under house arrest by her father, it was still hard to avoid a bit of sadness.
After all, that was her biological father, the father who had spoiled her since she was a child.
Even if she thought through her head she would not have thought that one day their father and daughter would actually come to such a confrontational situation.
“Don’t worry, I’ve considered all the issues you’re considering before I found you, we can fake defection and disintegrate their defenses. When the time comes to act, everything will be much simpler.”
It turned out that Elena Lawrence had actually hit upon such an idea.
“If we do this, can we really guarantee that it’s okay? Foolproof? Dad, he’s not a brainless person, anything we can think of he can surely think of too.” Ilya was still a little unsure, or maybe she couldn’t do it yet to trust this stranger she had just met.
Elena Lawrence understood the concern in her mind, “Foolproof is impossible, there is a certain amount of risk in doing anything, just like when we buy funds and speculate on stocks, it’s the same thing.”
“But we can do our best to minimize the loss.”
Upon hearing this, Ilya once again pondered, she was someone who would certainly not sit back and wait for her situation to end.
Instead of fighting alone, it would be better to join forces with Elena Lawrence, having someone to help each other on this path might even be a lot better.
“Okay, I promise you.”
