Not Enough Support From My Husband His Best Friend Stepped In Chapter 08

Afraid I wouldn’t believe her, Margaret pulled the forged medical report out of her bag and held it out for me.

to see.

I glanced at it and suddenly burst out laughing. Tears streamed down my face as I laughed.

Margaret sighed. “I know I’ve wronged you. But Elsie is pregnant too. She’s carrying my grandchild.”

That was when I finally understood why her attitude had shifted so drastically.

No wonder she’d promised to stand up for me, only to change her mind completely later.

No wonder she kept saying Elsie had her reasons.

So that was it.

“Olive, I know you’re a good girl. But your baby’s gone now. And Elsie’s child can’t be born a bastard. Maybe

it’s better if you and Bryson divorce sooner…”

I just smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll be out of here soon. She’s carrying your grandchild. I’d never cling to it.”

Just then, the sharp crash of shattered glass rang out from the doorway.

I turned around to see Bryson standing there, his face drained of all color.

“Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How could Elsie be carrying my child? I never touched her!”

Margaret froze. “What? You never touched her? Then why did she claim she was carrying your child!”

“I went to confront her that day. She called me Mom so warmly. She said she’d been to the hospital and it

was a boy.”

Margaret’s face turned livid as she recounted what had happened.

When she finished, Bryson slammed his fist into the wall.

“Mom, she lied to you.” His face turned ghastly pale. “Elsie lied to me over and over. She even killed my baby.”

He ground the words out through his teeth.

“Does she have to tear my family apart before she’s satisfied?”

Margaret finally learned the truth-Elsie had killed the baby with her own hands.

“That vicious woman murdered my precious granddaughter! She deserves hell!”

Tears broke from Margaret’s eyes on the spot. She handed me a bank card.

“Olive, I was a fool. I believed that liar’s nonsense. I even helped her hurt you. This won’t be swept under the

rug.”

“This money is compensation.”

“You and Bryson are still young. If you move on and live well, you’ll have other children…”

I didn’t reach for the card, not even glancing at it. “There won’t be.”

Bryson and I were over.

“I married him for love. That doesn’t make me his breeding tool.”

I pulled my suitcase past them.

At the door, Bryson grabbed the handle. His voice cracked.

“Don’t go. Olive, you’re the only person I’ve ever loved.”

“The baby… I was careless. But I will give you an answer.”

I didn’t look at him. “Bryson, what’s the point of saying this now?”

“I’ll call the police.” Bryson lifted his face, tears streaming down. “I’ll have her arrested. I’ll send her to prison,

make her pay for our baby’s life. Trust me. I’ll handle this myself.”
