CHAPTER 567: CHAPTER 567: THE GRANDMOTHER-IN-LAW DEMANDS HER PREGNANT GRANDDAUGHTER-IN-LAW BE SAVED FIRST

When she fell just now, she didn’t dare to move recklessly, fearing that the fetus in her womb might suffer serious harm. But she never expected Fawn Rhodes would tell Leon’s mother about her pregnancy, and that Leon’s mother would be so vicious.

Those blows landing on her body would definitely mean the end for the child.

Ivana Monroe was forced to get up, snatching a stick from a maid, and she hit the maid hard, striking quickly and ruthlessly.

Watching the maid she hit now cradling her arms and body, howling, none of the others dared to come forward. Ivana cursed these maids in her heart as cowardly bullies who prey on the weak. If she weren’t pregnant, she swore she would cripple these cowards.

These people, wanting to harm her child, were unforgivable.

"Ivana, Ivana..."

Fawn Rhodes stared at Ivana, seeing her resiliently get up and beat the wicked maids. Instead of feeling joy, her heart ached even more for Ivana. This heartache felt like sharp thorns piercing her heart.

Ivana just took a fall, probably already disturbing the fetus. If she hadn’t been driven to desperation by Leon’s mother, how would Ivana be so strong to get up and fight these wicked servants?

Leon Keane, your mother is inhuman.

Fawn cursed in her heart.

"Ivana Monroe, you... you..."

Leon’s mother discovered something was wrong, staring at Ivana in astonishment, her tongue tied.

Ivana looked at Leon’s mother, her gaze as cold as ice: "And you, you don’t like the sight of me, do you? You wanted to have me thrown into prison, to have those thugs defile me, didn’t you? You want me out of the Kane family at all costs, even to the detriment of the child in my womb, don’t you?"

Leon’s mother, hit at her heart, blushed with shame, unwilling to admit it: "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Ivana laughed sardonically: "Why the hypocrisy? Dare to do it but not admit it? You thought bribing those thugs to catch me meant my life was over. You didn’t expect I’d stand before you again, did you?"

Leon’s mother tightly clenched her fingers—indeed, she hadn’t expected it.

Fawn stood next to Ivana and said to Leon’s mother, "You wicked old woman, still want to deny it? Those thugs already pointed you out. Leon Keane knows about this too. Now you still want to harm Ivana’s child? Just wait! Wait for Leon Keane to settle accounts with you."

"Don’t you slander me, I did nothing."

Leon’s mother vehemently denied it.

Ivana continued, "The Kane Group’s financial chain breaking was your doing, aiming to frame me. You really are Leon Keane’s perfect mother, willing to bring down the Kane Group just to eliminate me."

Suddenly, Ivana seemed to understand something?

First, the breaking of the Kane Group’s financial chain, then her being caught by criminals and jailed, later her lucky escape, and Leon’s mother teaming with the grand lady to pull such a stunt on her.

This series of events seemed like a premeditated plan.

The goal was singular—to ruthlessly destroy her.

Ivana, her face pale, looked at Leon’s mother, a wave of dread hitting her heart—how could this old woman be so ruthless?

The grand lady’s head throbbed with pain, but she had heard what Ivana and Fawn said, filled with shock, her gaze uncertain as she looked at Leon’s mother, trying to discern if she had indeed done it?

If so...

Then Leon’s mother was truly terrifying.

Leon’s mother noticed the grand lady’s suspicious gaze, feeling somewhat guilty, she shouted at Ivana, "Ivana Monroe, you wretched thing, don’t try to frame me. The Kane Group ended up like this because of you."

Seeing Leon’s mother shift the blame to her without hesitation, Ivana was more convinced of her suspicion that the Kane Group’s financial chain collapse was indeed orchestrated by Leon’s mother.

The grand lady’s sudden change in attitude towards her, teaming up with Leon’s mother to deal with her, was surely because Leon’s mother knew how much the grand lady valued the Kane Group.

Such a brilliant move!

The sound of ambulances came from outside, and soon medical personnel came in.

The paramedics saw the grand lady lying on the ground, blood flowing from her head, and immediately approached her, about to put her on a stretcher when the grand lady suddenly grabbed the paramedic’s wrist.

"My granddaughter-in-law has disturbed her pregnancy, save her first, take her to the hospital."

The grand lady’s words left Leon’s mother astonished—this old crone, abandoning her own life to care for Ivana? Ivana is a liar.

Leon’s mother shook her head at the paramedics: "Don’t listen to her, my mother’s senile. My daughter-in-law isn’t pregnant, it’s my daughter-in-law who caused her harm. Quickly put her on the ambulance."

The paramedics didn’t understand what exactly happened in this family. Considering the grand lady’s injuries, she was indeed the one most in need of treatment first.

They nodded and continued to lift the grand lady.

The grand lady stubbornly stayed on the ground, glaring at Leon’s mother with red-rimmed eyes: "I am not senile, save Ivana and the child first."

Leon’s mother pretended to cry: "Mom, there is no child, please don’t be stubborn, let go of the doctor’s hand, go to the hospital! You’ve bled so much from your head, sob sob sob..."

"Nonsense, Ivana is pregnant," Fawn shouted, "You, one of you medics, help us get Ivana on the ambulance too, take both to the hospital."

Fawn despised Leon’s mother, this heartless creature.

"Okay."

One of the paramedics went over, and the other said to the grand lady, "Madam, we’re taking your granddaughter-in-law too, on the same ambulance with you, is that alright?"

"She’s not pregnant, doctor, don’t listen to her lies, my daughter-in-law is just a fraud..."

"Just stop talking for a while! The elder is like this now."

The paramedics interrupted Leon’s mother.

The grand lady, tears streaming down, finally let go of the paramedic.

Leon’s mother watched as Ivana was put on the ambulance, furious and near madness, wishing to rush over and drag Ivana off.

The grand lady was also placed on the ambulance.

The lawyer, watching the departing ambulance, scratched his nose and asked Leon’s mother, "Madam, what should we do now?"

Leon’s mother seethed, "Forge the divorce certificate."

The lawyer was startled, "What?"

Leon’s mother’s gaze shifted to the stick Ivana had grabbed, "There are Ivana’s fingerprints on it, take it and replicate them, forge a divorce agreement."

The lawyer: Can that even work?

On the ambulance.

The grand lady turned her head, seeing Ivana sitting nearby, lifting her finger.

"Madam, what’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The paramedic was tending to the grand lady’s head wound, noticing her movement, the paramedic asked.

"Ivana... Ivana..."

The grand lady ignored the paramedic, speaking intermittently.

Ivana glanced at the grand lady, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

"How... how are you? Does... your abdomen... hurt?"

The grand lady’s gaze fell on Ivana’s lower abdomen.

Ivana still didn’t respond to her; today the grand lady bore some responsibility for what happened.

"Madam, please don’t talk anymore, when you speak, the wound on your head bleeds again," the paramedic said to the grand lady.
