Chapter 775 Heartless Woman
Juniper had just reached the door when she heard Saffron crying miserably, "My baby... my baby... Mommy didn't protect you, Mommy is sorry..."
"Mom, my heart hurts so much! I'm so useless, I can't even protect my own baby..."
Juniper frowned, her loathing for Saffron reaching its peak.
She had ruthlessly killed her own child, and now she was here pretending to cry pitifully, disgustingly hypocritical.
Could money and a wealthy family really be more important than her own flesh and blood?
Juniper would never. If she were the one pregnant, she would choose the child even if it meant giving up everything she had now.
But she was different from Saffron. She had the ability to live on her own, while Saffron was nothing without the Cooper family and Douglas; she couldn't do anything.
Elara was also holding Saffron and crying, "It's not your fault, it's all Juniper's fault. Saffron, I know you love your child, you've done your best, it's Juniper who's too cruel..."
"Mom, I feel so awful... The baby was growing inside me day by day, already a part of me. I could feel his heartbeat, his breath, I talked to him so much every day, he was really so good..."
"Douglas, our son was so good..." Saffron pitifully held Douglas's hand.
Douglas also felt terrible inside; that was his own flesh and blood. He had a nightmare last night, and in the dream, it was indeed a son.
This acting was even better than Juniper had expected.
The doctors and nurses were all secretly wiping away tears.
Little did they know, Saffron was just using the baby as a tool to marry into a wealthy family.
If Juniper didn't know the truth, she might have felt very sympathetic towards this mother who loved her baby.
"Aaron, my grandson can't just die like this. A life for a life, Juniper killed my grandson, I want to call the police and have her arrested, I want her to go to jail!" Elara said angrily.
"I believe Juniper didn't do it," Aaron said.
"So you're saying Saffron deliberately rolled down the stairs? Who would do such a thing? Does she not want to live?" Elara roared.
That's what Aaron thought, but given Saffron's current condition, he couldn't say it outright, "It was just an accident."
"Dad, I've tolerated your favoritism towards Juniper, but now she's killed my baby, your grandson, and you still want to protect her? Are you trying to drive me to death?"
Saffron said painfully, portraying her heartbreak and the pain of being treated unfairly to the extreme.
"We're both your daughters, how can you be so biased?"
"Saffron..." Aaron didn't know what to say other than sigh.
"Aaron, if you don't punish her today, she'll kill both of us mother and daughter in the future, and then you'll be satisfied? Do you wish we were dead?" Elara said.
"You're overthinking it."
"I'm not overthinking it, she would definitely do it, you're just aiding and abetting her," Elara accused.
"No matter what, I won't let Juniper go to jail," Aaron said firmly.
"You... But this matter can't just be let go. She doesn't have to go to jail, but she must compensate Saffron with 50% of the Cooper Group's shares."
Juniper couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, "Is this your goal? Knowing it was a daughter, you used me to get rid of her and now shamelessly demand compensation? Saffron, how evil must a person be to use their own child as a tool for money."
"Juniper, don't slander me, you killed my grandson first, and I'm just asking for compensation. We can't suffer this loss for nothing," Elara said indignantly.
"Besides, Saffron, they're both your daughters, they should be treated equally, that 50% of the shares should be ours."
"I'll say it again, I didn't touch her, she rolled down on purpose to frame me. Saffron, do you dare to swear, if you framed me, your mom won't live past this year," Juniper pressed.
Saffron's face tightened.
But Elara screamed, "Swear then! What are we afraid of? God will help us, those curses won't come true."
"Mom..."
"Juniper, God is watching you, you killed Saffron's child, you'll have a stillborn if you get pregnant in the future."
"I have a clear conscience, my child will be fine, you should worry about Saffron. She was ruthless enough to harm her own child, no child would dare to be born to her in the future, she deserves to be childless!"
"I'll tear your mouth apart..."
"Stop!" Aaron shouted, "Everyone, stop arguing."
"I believe Juniper, and as for the Cooper Group, it was left by Juniper's grandfather, it belongs only to her, so stop thinking about the shares."
He continued, "As for Saffron, I can give her some financial compensation."
"Throwing money at us? What do you think we are? Beggars? Aaron, I'm your wife, Saffron is your daughter, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Dad... I've been hurt so badly, and you're still so heartless to me? I don't want compensation, I just want justice for my baby..."
"Take care of your health first, we'll talk about it later," Aaron said, feeling a headache coming on.
In the hospital cafeteria.
A few nurses gathered together, "Do you all know about the VIP ward incident?"
"You mean the sister who stole her older sister's boyfriend, and the older sister pushed the pregnant sister down the stairs causing her to miscarry? The whole hospital has been talking about it."
"That's so dramatic, reality is even more dramatic than TV shows. And now there's inheritance disputes and other elements, it's just too exciting."
"Who do you think is at fault?"
"The younger sister was wrong to steal her older sister's boyfriend, but that older sister is ruthless, not even sparing the child. Pushing a pregnant woman down the stairs, that's a death sentence."
"Yeah, it's not wrong to call the police and arrest her. But her dad is very protective of her."
"Both are his daughters, such favoritism? Is the other one not his biological daughter?"
"Oh my, the more you talk, the more dramatic it gets."
"That older sister is very beautiful, she looks like a bad woman with a heart of stone."
"Right, I can read faces, she's very jealous and ruthless."
"So the prettier the woman, the more vicious she is."
Juniper sat alone in the corner, eating with her head down.
It sounded quite ironic.
Since when did being pretty equate to being evil?
Jealousy was everywhere, and when a pretty woman got into trouble, she became the culprit.
"Saffron was hurt so badly by you, and you can still eat? Juniper, you have a heart of stone," Douglas sat across from her.
Juniper ignored him and continued eating.
"Why aren't you talking? Weren't you good at defending yourself before? Always saying Saffron rolled down the stairs herself, lying without even blinking."
"I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth," Juniper continued eating.
"Damn, I never realized you had such strong nerves. Could it be that you still like me, and out of jealousy for Saffron being pregnant with my child, you pushed her down the stairs?"
