Chapter 129

Karen's face went pale, and she dropped to the floor, completely stunned.

"This can't be real! No way, I don't believe it! This has to be a lie!"

I couldn't help but smirk at her reaction.

"Why would I lie about this? The body's at the police station morgue right now. I saw it yesterday. Wanna go see for yourself?"

"How did he die?"

Karen's eyes locked onto mine, filled with rage. "Did you kill Jason? You little witch!"

She lunged at me, looking like she wanted to strangle me.

"You owe me my grandson, you owe me my grandson."

Savannah grabbed Karen's wrist. "Where'd this crazy lady come from, attacking everyone?"

"Jason's death has nothing to do with Ms. Sharp."

Karen was shoved to the ground but still glared at me with pure hatred. "I don't believe it has nothing to do with you, you little witch. You killed Jason, and I'm gonna make sure the police lock you up."

I let out a cold laugh. "Too bad for you, that's not gonna happen. The police already found key evidence. Someone left Jason by the sea on purpose, and he got swallowed by the waves."

"You'll find out who it was soon enough."

Karen was stunned, clearly not expecting there to be evidence. Her expression hardened. "Who? Tell me, and I'll kill him!"

It was your dear nephew Earl!

Of course, I didn't say that out loud. It would be much more satisfying for Earl to realize he killed his own son.

"You'll find out soon enough, once the police uncover the truth."

Karen finally accepted the reality, her eyes filled with defeat.

She sat on the ground, her hair a mess, looking utterly broken.

But seeing her like this, I felt no sympathy, only scorn.

The way she treated Brett compared to Jason was night and day.

I couldn't muster any sympathy, only more heartache for the injustices Brett had suffered.

I stood up and looked down at Karen. "Tell me, who was behind Jason's disappearance?"

Karen sat there in a daze, not responding.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was you and Renee who conspired to frame me, making others think I kidnapped Jason."

"You thought they would take good care of Jason, but in reality, you were the one who caused his death."

Karen looked like she had aged ten years, unable to say a word.

Before leaving, I kindly told her the location of the police station where Jason's body was.

"Make sure to tell Earl to go too. After all, he is the child's real father."

After emphasizing this, I turned and left. Before stepping out, I saw Karen bowing her head deeply, lost in thought.

This is karma. He committed too many sins, and now they all fall upon the younger generation.

In this whole mess, the only innocent one was Jason. He was so young, yet burdened with the Jordan family's schemes.

In the end, he had no choice but to die in the turbulent sea, never finding peace.

Leaving Karen's house, I let out a deep breath.

I felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest, but it wasn't enough for me.

I needed to make the entire Jordan family pay for their sins.

In the car, Savannah turned to me. "Ms. Sharp, remember how Brandon mentioned handling the discharge paperwork last time? We haven't done it yet. How about we go to the hospital today?"

I nodded. Recent events had been overwhelming, sometimes making it hard for me to keep up, and I had forgotten many things.

"Good thing you reminded me, or I would have completely forgotten."

Savannah shook her head. "I can't compare to you and Mr. Castillo in strategy, so I can only help out with these little things!"

I knew she was trying to cheer me up, so I smiled.

"By the way, I don't know how much Royce is paying you. How about I double it?"

Savannah's eyes widened, and she quickly waved her hands. "No, no, Ms. Sharp. I'm already earning the highest salary in our industry. If I earn any more, I'd feel guilty."

"Besides, I haven't really done anything significant for you, and I even got you kidnapped before. Even if you docked my pay, I wouldn't complain."

Seeing her insistence, I had to give up, thinking I'd give her a bonus for Christmas instead.

Savannah drove us to the hospital. In the lobby, we unexpectedly ran into someone.

"Isadora?"

From a distance, I saw a pregnant woman sneaking a snack, and she looked a lot like Isadora, so I called out to her.

To my surprise, she turned around, her eyes lighting up when she saw me. "Caroline, what are you doing here?"

Savannah and I walked over to her. "What brings you to the hospital? We're here to handle the discharge paperwork from last time."

Isadora smiled sheepishly. "I'm here for a prenatal checkup."

I was taken aback and instinctively looked around, but didn't see Marshall.

The last time I saw them, they seemed so in love. Why wasn't he here with her for the checkup?

Seeing me looking around, Isadora seemed to understand. "Don't bother looking. Marshall isn't here."

I quickly asked, "Why not?"

Isadora stuck out her tongue, her face showing a playful and girlish charm. "He has a meeting at work this morning and can only come in the afternoon. But I wanted to sneak out and buy some snacks, so I came by myself. If he were here, he'd be watching me like a hawk, and I wouldn't be able to eat anything."

Her words made Savannah and me laugh. So Isadora was here to sneak some snacks.

Savannah and I teased her, "Aren't you afraid we'll tell Marshall? Isn't he a cop? Aren't you afraid he'll catch you?"

"Let him catch me. I've already finished eating, so I'm not worried."

Seeing her alone for a prenatal checkup, we felt uneasy. Since we weren't in a hurry, we decided to stay with her.

Just then, it was Isadora's turn for the ultrasound. We accompanied her to the ultrasound room, watching as the doctor applied gel to her belly and placed the instrument on it.

Soon, a faint image of a child appeared on the screen.

Isadora looked at it with joy. "Do you see that? That's my baby."
