If it hadnât been for her pregnancy, Sheldon Fowlerâs unwillingness to take responsibility, why would Yolanda Summers have harbored murderous intent toward her boyfriend?
Purple Summers stared at Yolanda Summers in shock.
Yolanda was wearing a loose camel-colored coat, a style she had often donned lately. Even though the heating was on in the room, she never took off her coat. With her originally slender and tall figure, her pregnancy was not noticeable at all.
âYou pretended to be kidnapped, but actually, you were going out of town for an abortion? You disappear for a week or two and then come back, everyone thinks you were kidnapped, and no one knows what you actually did!â Purple questioned.
Once it was discovered that Yolanda was pregnant before marriage, not only would her reputation be ruined, but Dylan Summers, in a fit of shame and anger, might kill her!
Yolanda was painfully retching, unable to speak, with eyes alarmingly red and covered with a layer of water mist.
It took her a while to recover, and through gritted teeth, she said, âHe always says he wants to marry me with his lips, but he canât actually stand up to his mother and his aunt! The Fowler family treated me like a fool, and I wonât let them get away with it. Since they cherish this only son and nephew of three generations so much, I want the Fowler family to have no descendants!â
Purple was puzzled and asked, âHis mother and aunt disagree? Why?â
In this day and age, with free love being commonplace, unless there were a significant difference in family backgrounds, parents wouldnât oppose too much. The only thing the Summers family possibly lagged in comparison to the Fowler family was in overseas assets, but overall, they were considered a good match. Why would the Fowler family disagree?
Now that everything was out in the open, Yolanda let it all out, deciding to make a clean breast of it.
âMrs. Fowler invited me to visit the Fowler home. After dinner, Sheldon and I went to take a nap⦠The next day, Sheldon told me that his mother and aunt did not agree with us continuing our relationship because I did not âspotâ red; I was not a virgin!â
Purpleâs eyes widened in disbelief⦠this reasonâ¦
The Fowler family did business overseas; shouldnât they be more open-minded?
Upon reflection, though, something seemed off.
âYou visited the Fowler home and then took a nap with Sheldon?â Purple was astonished.
On her first visit, Yolanda, who was to meet her future mother-in-law, should have been intent on presenting herself as chaste and graceful. How could she act so carelessly?
Yolanda said bitterly, âI was set up! After eating, I felt very sleepy. When I woke up, I found Sheldon and I naked in bed together. It wasnât the first time we did it, so I didnât think much of it, thinking Sheldon found it more exciting at home. But the next day, Sheldon told me that his mother is very traditional. They didnât find âredâ on the bed and said that the Fowlerâs daughter-in-law couldnât be an unchaste woman, forbidding him to date me any longer!â
She was full of resentment, tears falling rapidly, and her voice was pressed to an extreme whisper, as if she wanted to grind each word with her teeth to dust.
âHeâs dating the match his mother introduced him to behind my back! Yet on the other hand, he says he loves me! Tells me to give him time, saying his mother will accept me eventually!â Yolanda said fiercely, âHow can I give him time? My belly is growing bigger every day! He doesnât want to take responsibility and doesnât dare to mention it to his mother! Coward! If his mom hadnât drugged me that day, how could I have gotten pregnant?â
Having said that, Yolanda raised her head and looked straight into Purpleâs eyes, âSince Sheldon has set me up, I wonât let him have it easy either. We might as well perish together if necessary. Pretend I was never here today!â
She turned to walk out but was stopped by Purple at the door.
âHow exactly do you plan on âperishing togetherâ? By fighting with Sheldon while heavily pregnant? Thatâs really brilliant, one of the Summers sisters going insane, the other pregnant out of wedlock. I certainly donât want our reputation ruined by you two!â Purple said coldly, her gaze falling on Yolandaâs abdomen, âWhere do you plan to go to deal with the child?â
Arranging a kidnapping served not only as punishment for Sheldon but also as an opportunity for her own abortion. Otherwise, given Dylan Summersâ strictness with his daughters, he would never allow Yolanda to stay out overnight or travel alone.
With uncertainty in her eyes, Yolanda stubbornly replied, âNone of your business!â
