Chapter 147: Chapter 147: After All, It’s a Miscarriage

After leaving Chloe Shea’s house, Julian Sterling returned to the office, but his mind wasn’t on work in the slightest.

How could he be in the mood to review contracts right now?

All he wanted to know was whether Evelyn Grant had taken the medicine he sent, and whether that bastard child in her belly was dead!

That child was a mark of shame for Julian Sterling. He couldn’t let it survive. Absolutely not!

"Mr. Sterling, is tomorrow’s meeting still on? I need to finalize the schedule with you."

It was already late, and the secretary hesitated, unsure if he should even be asking.

Julian Sterling waved a hand dismissively. "Postpone it. I don’t have time tomorrow."

’If Evelyn Grant has already taken the medicine, then... by tomorrow, the child in her womb will surely be gone!’

He had to confirm this before he could even think about work.

"Yes, understood."

The secretary was about to turn and leave.

Julian Sterling suddenly stopped him. "The man I sent to watch her—any news?"

The secretary froze, glancing at his phone before speaking. "He just reported that he saw Miss Grant come downstairs, get into a taxi, and leave!"

Hearing this, Julian Sterling shot up from his chair.

"What?! Why didn’t you tell me immediately?!"

"Well... you just ordered me not to disturb you."

The secretary had been too afraid.

Julian Sterling shot him a fierce glare, then stood up and stormed out.

He reached the doorway, then stopped.

’No!’

’I can’t go see Evelyn Grant directly right now.’

’It would be obvious that I was behind this, wouldn’t it?’

’Unless she calls me for help, I... I can’t show up.’

But Julian Sterling was worried. Evelyn Grant was all alone, late at night. What if something happened to her?

’A miscarriage, after all, has its risks.’

Frowning, Julian Sterling thought for a moment before calling the doctor.

"Assuming I’m right, she’s already taken the medicine and is having a reaction! But she’s all alone right now. Could her life be in danger?"

Julian Sterling wanted the child dead, but he didn’t want anything to happen to Evelyn Grant.

"There’s no one with her? That’s not good!"

"...I’m sending you her location now. Get over there immediately. You must ensure Evelyn Grant’s safety!"

...

After returning to his residence, Ryan Sterling opened his laptop to deal with some files.

He kept his phone, with the ringer on, by his side, waiting for Evelyn Grant to contact him.

’She said she was going to take a shower, right? She shouldn’t be too long before she messages me.’

Half an hour later, Ryan Sterling specifically checked his phone.

No messages.

’Women probably just take longer in the shower.

Not like us guys, anyway.’

’I’ll just wait a bit longer!’

But after another half an hour, Ryan Sterling still hadn’t received any message from Evelyn Grant!

A sense of anxiety began to spread through him.

He called the man he had watching Julian Sterling.

The reply came: "Mr. Sterling, he hasn’t left the office. His car is still in the underground garage."

"Is it possible he left secretly?"

"No way! I have men watching every exit. Don’t worry, sir."

’Don’t worry?’

Ryan Sterling could never truly relax.

When it came to his older brother, he could never let his guard down.

Because his brother was an unscrupulous man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted!

’Normally, when I’m in the country, it’s fine; I can keep an eye on him constantly.’

’But now that I’m so far away, of course I can’t let my guard down for even a second!’

After hanging up, Ryan Sterling immediately called Evelyn Grant.

But after several rings, the call went unanswered.

He clenched his fists, forcing himself to think positive thoughts.

’Maybe she just got back to her mother’s place. The two of them are probably just talking, catching up, and she hasn’t looked at her phone...’

’That’s all possible.’

’Otherwise, there’s no way she wouldn’t pick up my call!’
