Chapter 271: Chapter 265
Maria Carter walked into Mrs. Carter’s room quietly, her footsteps so light that there was almost no sound, as if she was afraid of disturbing sothing.
She slightly poked her head forward, cautiously looking around, and after confirming that no one was there, she quickly closed the door.
There was a hint of cunning pride on her face, her lips slightly curved up, eyes sparkling with excitent, as if she had just accomplished sothing remarkable.
“Mom, look, brother and sister-in-law went in.
It’s been an hour, and there’s no movent inside, my plan is more than likely successful.”
Maria lowered her voice, a trace of excitent in her tone.
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, appearing sowhat animated.
Mrs. Carter was sitting on the settee by the window, holding Emily Parker’s divorce agreent, her eyes sowhat distracted, seemingly pondering sothing.
Upon hearing Maria’s words, she looked up, her gaze carrying a touch of skepticism, appearing a bit worried.
“Did it really work?”
Mrs. Carter expressed with a hint of uncertainty.
Seeing this, Maria imdiately straightened her back, patted her chest, her face full of confident smiles,
“Mom, rest assured when I’m on the case, my brother and sister-in-law will surely not divorce.”
There was an undeniable firmness in her voice, as if she was speaking about sothing that was already set in stone.
Emily would never have thought that her divorce agreent would be discovered by Maria before Carlos even saw it.
Speaking of coincidence, that day Maria ca to ask Emily about her howork and unintentionally noticed that her sister-in-law’s expression was quite off.
Emily’s face was a bit pale, her eyebrows knitted with a trace of worry, and her gaze sowhat evasive.
Maria keenly sensed that sothing was wrong and seized the chance when Emily went to the bathroom. Like a curious cat, she quickly rummaged through Emily’s desk drawer.
When she saw the divorce agreent, her eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had encountered sothing unimaginable, and she hurriedly took the agreent and hid it before going to find Mrs. Carter.
When Mrs. Carter received the agreent, her expression instantly turned serious. She found Oliver Ross, who had no choice but to reluctantly disclose the marriage agreent between Emily Parker and Carlos.
Apart from that marriage agreent, in the eyes of Mrs. Carter and Maria, Emily Parker and Carlos were a match made in heaven.
Carlos had changed significantly in the months since the wedding, and it wasn’t as if he had no feelings for Emily.
Every ti Mrs. Carter saw them together, she could sense a subtle warmth, yet Emily seed to be holding sothing back, making her seem aloof at tis.
As for Rainny White, neither Mrs. Carter nor Maria acknowledged her.
In their eyes, Rainny was just a malicious third party, totally unworthy of Carlos.
After thinking it over, it was Maria’s clever mind that ca up with the “preservation agreent.”
She thought that this way, they could hold onto Emily and provide Carlos with a way to step down, possibly even deepening their relationship.
“But wouldn’t doing this be a bit unfair to Emily?”
Mrs. Carter sighed, her voice carrying a trace of helplessness and guilt.
She had long since co to love Emily as if she were her own daughter.
If soone bullied her daughter like that, she would stand up for her at the first opportunity. Mrs. Carter showed a trace of worry on her face, her eyes full of heartache, seemingly distressed about Emily’s situation.
Maria, upon hearing her mother’s words, showed a slight dimness in her eyes, but she quickly regained her resolve.
She walked to Mrs. Carter’s side, gently holding her hand, her voice soothing,
“Mom, let’s try one more ti. Consider it giving brother another chance.
If brother breaks sister-in-law’s heart once more, he won’t need her to say anything; we will stand by her and kick him out.”
She spoke resolutely, her voice filled with undeniable determination, marking her decision.
Mrs. Carter listened to her daughter’s words, nodded, a trace of gratification in her eyes.
She sighed and finally agreed with her daughter’s idea: “Alright, let’s give your brother one more chance.
But this ti, if it doesn’t work, we really can’t drag it any longer.”
Seeing her mother agree, Maria showed a trace of a relieved smile.
She patted her mother’s hand, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness,
“I’ve got things settled on my end, Mom, it’s your turn now to make sure brother and sister-in-law spend more ti together to deepen their relationship.”
She blinked, her eyes with a hint of mischief, as if quietly anticipating her mother’s next plan.
Mrs. Carter also showed a hint of a smile on her face.
She knew that although their plan was sowhat risky, it might indeed save this relationship.
She gently nodded her head: “Alright, I’ll do my best to arrange it.”
