Chapter 621: Chapter 323: A Mysterious Parcel
"What do you mean by that?" Wendy’s face tensed up a notch.
Jane Quinlan smirked, so she gets scared too.
Let her be afraid then; she simply wouldn’t tell her what she meant.
Let her taste the torment as well.
Seeing Jane Quinlan remain silent, Wendy started to feel uneasy.
In the afternoon, Jane Quinlan received a call from downstairs saying there was a delivery for her.
Jane Quinlan muttered to the staff on the other end of the phone, puzzled: "Why would there be a delivery for me? I haven’t bought anything online recently."
After hanging up, she mumbled to herself: "Could it be another surprise from Kay Forrest?"
She turned to look at the office door with a giggle, then got up to go downstairs to fetch the delivery.
Soon, she came back upstairs cradling a box.
Wendy looked up at her, and Jane Quinlan triumphantly raised her eyebrows as she used scissors to open the delivery box.
But upon seeing the contents inside, Jane Quinlan couldn’t help but scream in horror.
Her voice startled Wendy, who then looked and couldn’t help but cover her mouth.
Jane Quinlan’s scream was loud enough that even Kay Forrest in the office heard it.
He ran out quickly, and Jane Quinlan threw herself into his arms: "Forrest."
"What’s wrong?" Kay Forrest hugged her, his hand gently stroking her head.
"Look inside that box."
Kay Forrest let go of Jane Quinlan and frowned deeply upon looking inside.
A small blood-stained doll, its head and body severed, pinned with a staple to a white piece of cloth with Jane Quinlan’s name written on it in red.
Kay Forrest picked up the box and threw it into the trash.
"Where did this thing come from?"
Jane Quinlan felt nauseous: "I just received a call about my delivery, so I went downstairs to get it.
I thought it was a surprise from you, but when I opened it, this was what I found."
"The delivery..." He picked up the box and took another look.
Seeing the writing, his gaze inexorably turned towards Wendy.
Upon catching Kay Forrest’s look, Wendy asked in confusion, "Director Forrest, what’s wrong?"
"What’s your full name again?"
Wendy hesitated for a moment: "Wendy Yeager."
"Wendy Yeager, huh, not bad at all. Daring to pull a fast one right under my nose. What are you trying to do by mailing this delivery?"
"It wasn’t me," Wendy immediately raised her hands in defense, looking anxious: "Director Forrest, it really wasn’t me."
Wendy stepped forward to take a closer look, and it was indeed her Chinese name.
"No, Director Forrest, look at this phone number, it’s not mine at all.
This must be someone framing me."
Kay Forrest’s expression turned icy cold, someone was actually trying to harm Jane Quinlan like this.
If he found out who it was, he would not let them get away with it.
Meanwhile, Jane Quinlan had her own ideas.
But the opponent’s move was indeed swift.
As Evie had said, when it came to ruthlessness, she was no match for Evie Larkin.
She could resort to such vile tactics.
However... huh, she wouldn’t let her succeed.
"Forrest, it probably wasn’t Wendy."
Wendy was taken aback, not expecting Jane Quinlan to speak up for her.
Jane Quinlan didn’t look at Wendy; she was just relieved to go to Kay Forrest’s side without looking at the dirty thing in the box.
"Wendy is quite a shrewd woman.
There’s no reason for her to send me something to frighten me and then write her name on it.
The person who sent me this package clearly did it to divert all my attention to Wendy.
Indeed, we have a mutual dislike for each other.
But she is quite straightforward; she expresses her displeasure openly.
It’s unnecessary to resort to such disgusting methods."
Hearing Jane Quinlan say this, Wendy hurriedly said: "Director Forrest, it really wasn’t me."
Kay Forrest picked up the box, and he said to Jane Quinlan: "Don’t worry about this, I’ll investigate."
Jane Quinlan nodded without saying a word, but internally, she was secretly thrilled.
She had been worried about finding an opportunity, and this was just the timely rain she needed.
Kay Forrest left with the box.
Jane Quinlan looked up at Wendy, who was frowning: "Why are you helping me?"
"I’m not helping you; I’ve said it before, just as you don’t like me, I don’t like you either.
But, to be fair, I won’t let you bear these unfounded grievances because of me."
She returned to her seat and sat down, while Wendy was still feeling restless.
She was curious about who would go to such lengths to set her up.
After sitting down, Jane Quinlan asked her: "Have you offended someone at the company?"
"I’ve never deliberately befriended anyone, so where does this idea of me offending someone come from?"
Jane Quinlan shrugged, "It seems to me that you have a very good relationship with Evie Larkin."
Wendy was taken aback and said annoyed, "Don’t spout nonsense, I’m not at all close to her, okay?"
"I’ve never heard of two people who aren’t close going out to eat alone."
Wendy clenched her fists: "What do you mean by that?"
"Yesterday at noon, didn’t you go out to lunch with Evie?"
Wendy’s face turned a bit chaotic, but she didn’t say anything.
Jane Quinlan smiled: "The person who called you last night was Evie Larkin as well, right?"
"What’s it to you?"
"It’s not that it concerns me, it’s just that I feel sorry for you."
"What do you mean by that."
Jane Quinlan smirked with a smile: "Do you know that I’m pregnant?"
Wendy looked at her with surprise: "You’re pregnant?"
"That’s right, I just found out over the New Year period.
Not many people know about this, but Evie Larkin does.
Seeing your reaction just now, you clearly had no idea."
Wendy furrowed her eyebrows and remained silent.
Jane Quinlan laughed: "About bringing me juice yesterday at noon, was that your idea or hers?"
Wendy still didn’t speak.
"I heard you on the phone saying that she told you I’m allergic to aloe, right?
Let me tell you something, I don’t have any food allergies.
At least not so far.
I can actually eat aloe.
But now that I’m pregnant, consuming aloe could possibly cause a miscarriage.
I don’t know if you looked at the menu yesterday, but it clearly said it was forbidden for pregnant women."
Wendy frowned deeply: "I didn’t know any of this; I didn’t know you were pregnant."
"I guess you didn’t know, otherwise you wouldn’t say that I don’t have any allergies.
Have you ever considered that if I had drunk the aloe juice yesterday and something really happened, who else would be the unluckiest besides me?"
"Evie Larkin is using me," Wendy slammed the table hard.
"This woman is truly vicious.
I’m going to tell Director Forrest about this."
"It’s useless if you tell him, if Evie Larkin planned to use you, she definitely won’t admit to it.
Anyway, I think she’s very clever.
Knowing how to kill two birds with one stone like this.
Yesterday, I was lucky I noticed the presence of hawthorn, so I made Kay Forrest drink those drinks, otherwise, you really would have been very unlucky."
"How did you know I was dining with her?"
"Last night, Kay Forrest found that restaurant based on the address on the juice cup.
We were actually going to go in for dinner.
It was there we learned about the restriction for pregnant women.
Originally, Kay was very angry and said he was going to settle accounts with you, but I told him you didn’t know about my pregnancy."
Wendy huffed coldly: "I don’t need you to speak well of me."
"I’m telling you this not to let you know I’ve spoken on your behalf.
I couldn’t care less to help you, it’s just that after speaking last night, I started to suspect.
I suspected whether you already knew I was pregnant and were trying to harm me on purpose.
When I heard you on the phone, I doubted that you and Evie Larkin had conspired together to target me.
To confirm my suspicions, I went to check the aloe store’s surveillance records with a friend at noon today and found that you did indeed go there with Evie Larkin yesterday.
Because of this, I chose to believe that it wasn’t you, it was Evie Larkin who intended to harm my child."
Wendy’s expression turned coldly serious: "Evie Larkin even dared to harm me; I won’t let this go so easily."
"You won’t, and neither will I.
As a mother, I absolutely won’t allow any threat to my child.
Wendy, let me give you a piece of advice: if you want to win over Kay Forrest, show some real skill.
Don’t use these sneaky methods.
I admire your intelligence but despise the fact you don’t use it in the right way.
You can consider me an enemy, but I will never let Kay Forrest go to anyone.
Maybe you feel I don’t have the right to stand beside Kay Forrest.
But I dare to say, no one can make him as happy as I can."
The gleam in Jane Quinlan’s eyes suddenly made Wendy feel inferior.
All this time she thought Jane was unremarkable, but in fact, she had her own charm, didn’t she?
Otherwise, why would Director Forrest take a fancy to her alone?
