CHAPTER 661: CHAPTER 361: OFFERING A REWARD OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND

"Did Nina ever scold you after finding out?"

"How could she have known? I never told her," Kay Forrest said with a mischievous smile.

"I need to maintain my image as the mighty and glorious giant in their eyes."

Jane Quinlan gave him a look: "You’re too naughty."

"Saying that in bed could lead to misunderstandings.

Having drunk so much tonight, I think I need to exercise with you a bit to sober up."

Jane Quinlan, unfazed, raised her eyebrow: "Come on, just don’t get your baby drunk."

Kay Forrest tapped her nose in resignation: "You really are the proverbial pig not afraid of boiling water."

Jane Quinlan laughed and cuddled into his embrace a bit: "So sleepy, let’s sleep."

Kay Forrest nodded and hugged her tightly: "Sleep then."

Jane Quinlan closed her eyes but shortly after, as if thinking of something, he opened his eyes again: "Forrest."

"Hmm?"

"I just remembered... Evelyn Claire has no relatives left in this world.

She’s dead, I guess no one would claim her body, right?"

Kay Forrest looked down at her: "Are you planning to meddle in this?"

Jane Quinlan pursed her lips: "I don’t know if I should, thinking of Wendy, I feel Evelyn deserved her fate.

But then, thinking of her sister... I feel her life was truly tragic.

Actually, I’m really unsure, that’s why I didn’t say I wanted to get involved."

Kay Forrest thought for a moment and said: "We better not get involved in this."

"What will happen to her then?"

"The police will handle it, I guess."

Jane Quinlan nodded: "Doesn’t Evelyn still have a mother? Do you think her mom would come to claim her daughter’s body?"

"Who knows where her mom is, if she really wanted to claim her daughter’s body, she should have appeared when her first daughter died."

Jane Quinlan stroked her belly: "I’m about to become a mother myself.

Because of this, I feel pity for Evelyn and Ava being abandoned by their own mother."

Kay Forrest tapped her forehead wordlessly: "Alright, alright, I can’t really argue with you.

I know you won’t be at peace if we don’t take care of Evelyn’s affairs.

I’ll handle this, alright?"

Jane Quinlan kissed him on the cheek: "Kay Forrest, I knew you were the best, thank you.

I actually know my meddling can be annoying.

But let’s consider it as doing a good deed.

If it were just a stranger, we would still offer a sympathetic hand, wouldn’t we?"

"Right, right, right, my dear wife is always right.

Then, I’ll take care of finding her mom to claim her body, and we won’t interfere with anything else, okay?"

Jane Quinlan nodded: "Mhm."

With Kay Forrest’s assurance, Jane Quinlan felt all sorts of relief.

In fact, Evelyn had not found her mother for many years not because her mother had gone to the ends of the earth.

But because her mother, in order to keep her daughters from finding her, had long ago hidden her identity.

Evelyn’s mother’s original name was Olivia Hughes, now called Emma Hughes.

She had established her own family twenty years ago, with a son and a beautiful daughter.

When Kay Forrest posted a reward of 100,000 to find Olivia Hughes, Emma Hughes showed up.

When she came to collect the 100,000 yuan with her ID card, the staff member in charge was reluctant to give her the money.

After leading her upstairs, Kay Forrest called Jane Quinlan into his office, and they both scrutinized her, Jane Quinlan puzzledly said: "Just for 100,000 yuan you came out, it looks like you’ve been living in Anchester all this time."

Emma Hughes shook her head: "Not really, I remarried in Sea City, and because things didn’t go well in Sea City, my whole family moved back here."

"So, you didn’t know your daughters were looking for you when they did?"

Olivia Hughes silently lowered her gaze, saying nothing.

Kay Forrest nodded and smiled slightly: "But you knew, didn’t you? You just deliberately didn’t show up."

"I already have a new family, my husband doesn’t know I had two daughters before.

If he found out, he definitely wouldn’t want me anymore.

Also, I really couldn’t have provided any happiness to those children."

Jane Quinlan looked at Kay Forrest speechlessly, realizing her idea of finding Evelyn’s mother to claim her body was perhaps mistaken.

Evelyn Claire meant absolutely nothing to her own mother.

She was just worth one hundred thousand yuan after her funeral.

"If it weren’t for this one hundred thousand yuan, you probably wouldn’t even show up even if you knew your daughter was dead."

Jane Quinlan felt some indignation on Evelyn Claire’s behalf as she asked the question.

Olivia Hughes hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can I bury the child today? When will you give me the money?"

"Burying your daughter is your duty, why should we give you money? Do we owe you anything?"

Jane Quinlan immediately showed her displeasure.

Kay Forrest also felt puzzled when he heard Jane Quinlan say this.

However, he said nothing, just silently looked at her.

Olivia Hughes immediately stood up discontentedly, "Are you playing games with me? Your newspaper has published a reward, and now you refuse to acknowledge it?"

"How can you prove that you are Evelyn Claire’s mother?

You say you are, but Evelyn Claire’s household registration lists her mother as Olivia Hughes, and you are Emma Hughes.

If everyone were like you, all the women in the world named Hughes could come to me to claim this money."

Olivia Hughes angrily glared at Jane Quinlan: "I really am Evelyn Claire’s mother, she was born after I carried her for ten months.

Back then, because her father left, and I was afraid I couldn’t support them, I left them."

"You really are the most ruthless among mothers.

I don’t know what expression you had when your elder daughter died.

But now, seeing your second daughter dead too, your face shows no grief at all, you just came for the hundred thousand yuan,

I really do feel that Evelyn Claire is undervalued.

No matter whether Evelyn Claire is your daughter or not, I will leave you with these words.

We did publish in the newspaper, and we are not people who go back on our word.

Go to the police station and get a certificate, show us that you are Olivia Hughes.

Also, this matter must be made known to your husband.

Otherwise, I won’t make the payment."

"This is my business, why should I let my husband know about it? This is clearly unreasonable."

Jane Quinlan disdainfully said, "Yes, I am being unreasonable. Back then, you took the consolation money from Evelyn Claire’s father and ran away, Evelyn Claire and her sister came to the Skyward Group without knowing anything.

Evelyn Claire even resented the Skyward Group for so many years because of what happened before.

Now, we are only seeking justice for the Skyward Group.

We have to let Evelyn Claire know underground, your and that man squandered her father’s consolation money."

Olivia Hughes stood up, "I’m going, I really have never seen someone as unreasonable as you.

Forget it, bad luck on me, just pretend I didn’t come today.

I can’t take care of Evelyn Claire’s body, after all, I’ve already abandoned her once.

She probably wouldn’t appreciate my help with her body anyway."

She scoffed and was about to leave.

Kay Forrest comfortably stretched his legs, speaking casually, "You can leave now, but don’t regret it.

Since you have revealed your secrets, I will make sure your husband knows every single detail about your situation.

The damages your two daughters caused to Skyward Group will be paid by you.

After all, those damages were caused by you."

Upon hearing this, Olivia Hughes immediately panicked, she turned back to look at Kay Forrest, "Why are you treating me like this?"

Jane Quinlan spoke calmly, "Then why are you so ruthless?

Your current sons and daughters should also know what kind of person their mother is.

They just haven’t had any conflicts of interest with you yet, but if they do, you might abandon them too, right?"

"Of course not," Olivia Hughes shouted, "Do you really think giving up one’s children is such an easy decision?

Do you think I made that decision overnight?

Ava Claire’s grandmother was ill, when her father left, I spent a lot of money treating her grandmother’s illness.

Later I thought, if I continued to stay, sooner or later, three people would be dragged down and starve to death...

I originally planned to take Evelyn Claire with me, but that day, Evelyn Claire cried hysterically and refused to leave with me, I had no choice, I was afraid Ava Claire would notice something, so I left them all behind."

Jane Quinlan thought to herself, Evelyn Claire, your lives are truly tragic, your mother still doesn’t think she did anything wrong even now.

This Olivia Hughes really changed her understanding of the word ’mother’.

Thinking of her own parents, she suddenly felt that God was very kind to her.

Having a kind mother is indeed a form of happiness.
