Chapter 50
Elora covered her face, looking at Karen in disbelief.
"You dare hit me?"
Karen glared at her, "So what if I hit you? You're just a tool for the Jordan family. I even dare to hit Caroline, why wouldn't I hit you?"
Elora completely broke down, "I've done so much for your family. I transferred assets, I even had a son for Brandon. Even if I haven't achieved significant accomplishments, I've put in effort. What right do you have to hit me?"
"Wasn't it you who volunteered to help Brandon? Who asked you to do all that?"
"I call you 'Mom' out of respect, but don't really think you're my elder!"
"Who's your elder? I'm Caroline's elder. What does that have to do with you?"
"Fine, then go find Caroline. Let's see how many times that dying woman can still call you 'Mom'!"
Just then, Brandon, who was upstairs, couldn't stand the noise anymore and came down.
"Mom? What are you doing here?"
Seeing Brandon, Karen's eyes widened, "Elora, you bitch, didn't you say Brandon wasn't here? What are you trying to do?"
Elora covered her face, "It was Brandon who told me not to say anything. Why are you coming after me? If you have the guts, hit Brandon."
Karen sneered, "Why would I hit Brandon? I'll hit you! You shameless bitch!"
She stepped forward, grabbed Elora's hair, and started dragging her out.
Elora screamed in pain, "Let go!"
"Brandon, do something about your mom!"
Brandon frowned, looking at the scene with extreme annoyance, "Mom, let go. What are you doing?"
Karen glared at Brandon, "Now that you have Elora, you've forgotten about me? And she's not even your wife."
"I'm telling you, Brandon, if you dare marry this shameless woman, I'll cut ties with you."
Brandon, extremely annoyed, said, "Can you let go first? Stop making a scene!"
He couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to separate them. Karen had a large clump of hair in her hand, pulled from Elora's head.
Kathy grimaced, "Karen is really bad, but it's kind of satisfying!"
Elora, with a bald spot on her head, touched the area and went completely mad, "You old hag, get out of my house!"
Karen snorted, "This house was bought by Brandon. It's the Jordan family's property. What does it have to do with you?"
Brandon also frowned, "Elora, that's enough. How can you talk to my mom like that?"
Elora looked at Brandon in disbelief, "What's wrong with you? Karen came here to cause trouble and pulled out my hair, and you're still siding with her?"
"Brandon, what am I to you?"
Brandon remained silent, his face showing clear annoyance.
Karen, breathing heavily, glared at Elora.
Elora, with disheveled hair, collapsed on the floor, "Brandon, you said you wanted to get rid of Caroline. I helped you come up with ideas. You said you wanted to take over her company. I helped you get rid of the old employees. And Asher..."
Hearing this, I perked up, wanting to know what happened with Asher.
But the next second, Brandon slapped Elora across the face, gritting his teeth, "Enough, are you done?"
Elora, covering her face, screamed hysterically, "No!"
"If you don't let me speak, I'll go to Caroline and we'll go down together!"
With that, Elora stood up and started to leave.
Brandon and Karen exchanged a glance, their eyes cold.
Then Brandon kicked Elora in the stomach, sending her back into the house. At this point, we could only hear the sounds, not see the scene.
We heard Elora wail, "My baby, my baby."
The three of us exchanged glances, "Could Elora be pregnant again?"
Then we heard Karen and Brandon say, "Elora, that bitch, is pregnant again. What should we do, Brandon?"
Brandon, with a dark expression, stared at the scene inside, "Close the door first, don't let anyone see."
With that, the two of them went inside, completely cutting off the outside noise.
The show was over.
I sighed, wondering if it was because I was a mother that I felt sorry for the baby in Elora's belly.
This child shouldn't have been conceived by Elora, ending up like this.
Maybe knowing what I was thinking, Kathy patted my shoulder, "Don't be sad. Don't forget, if Elora were to deal with you in the future, she wouldn't show any mercy. She would put your children in the same situation. She doesn't deserve sympathy."
Simon nodded, "That's right. If it were you lying there today, what do you think Elora would do?"
I didn't say anything. I knew Simon and Kathy were right.
I could only hope that the unborn child would find a new family.
After a while, not knowing what was happening inside, Brandon came out with a briefcase, looking furious.
Seeing him, I was stunned, "Brandon is probably going home. I guess I should hurry back too."
Simon nodded, "I'll take you."
We went downstairs and got into Simon's car.
To avoid being seen, Kathy and I sat in the back seat.
As the car pulled out of the garage, I saw Brandon walking past us. He even bent down to look inside the car.
At that moment, my heart was in my throat.
Simon's voice was cold, "Don't worry, my car has tinted windows. He can't see anything."
But still, seeing Brandon's face so close, I held my breath in nervousness.
Fortunately, Brandon seemed to just take a look and didn't linger.
Our car smoothly left the neighborhood.
Kathy looked back at Brandon, "He's really cunning, afraid of being discovered, he didn't even drive here."
I sneered, Brandon has always been like this, putting all his thoughts into these things.
Simon's car dropped me off a few hundred feet from my neighborhood. Any closer and the cameras would catch me.
I thanked him and walked home slowly.
Unexpectedly, just as I reached the entrance, I ran into Brandon, who had just taken a cab back.
He saw me, full of suspicion, "Caroline? What are you doing here? Where's your car?"
"I just had dinner with Kathy and left my car at her studio. She just dropped me off, and I forgot to take it back. I'll get it tomorrow."
