Albert was the one who was most unhappy about Jameson moving back.
He looked furious, but there was nothing he could complain about.
However, it was clear that the atmosphere in the Proctor family became more oppressive and tense.
When Erica was ready to return to her room, Jameson stopped her at the stairs.
She was so scared, but she turned around and pretended to be calm, "Jameson..."
Jameson glanced at her indifferently.
Erica could tell no emotion from his voice, "I remembered that I have warned you."
Erica knew that he came to her for Sharon.
She explained, "That woman...I mean Sharon, I did not tell anyone about her pregnancy.I swear!"
Jameson's gaze was cold.
Erica did not know if he believed her or not.
He just stared at Erica, making her so nervous that her heart was full of fear.
Erica made up her mind.
She knew that even if she did not confess now, Jameson would find out what happened sooner or later.
She whispered, "It was Aylin.She mentioned Sharon's pregnancy, and Uncle Albert heard about it..."
Jameson said, "How could she know?"
"I do not know either.But it sounds like Aylin knew about Sharon's pregnancy a long time ago.It should be at Aunt Evie's birthday.But she always thought that Sharon was carrying Martin's child."
Erica's words were wise.
Not only did she involve Aylin, but also did she remind Jameson that the incident of Sharon felling into the water was not an accident.
She completely cleared herself out.
Jameson laughed.
When he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with coldness.
He said, "Erica, never try to play tricks in front of me.I will investigate everything you said."
Erica controlled her trembling voice, "Jameson, I promised that I did not lie to you!"
After Jameson left, Erica returned to her room at her fastest pace.
Cold sweat was all over her back.
Jacob followed Jameson, "Mr.Proctor, do you want to investigate the Morton family?"
Jameson said, "No."
After a pause, he said, "Has Aylin’s baby come out?"
"It has been five days."
"Send a gift over."
Jacob nodded, "What do you want me to write on the card?"
Jameson said calmly, "The temperature drops.Do not drink cold water."
"I will do that."
Jacob answered and then left.
Jameson stopped when he passed by Sharon's door.
He looked in the room's direction.
Sharon was sitting in front of her desk, drawing something randomly to kill time.
Someone suddenly knocked at her door.
She looked at the time.
It was nine pm.
They usually sent the extra dinner at ten pm.
To be honest, from Evie's perspective, what she said was reasonable.
Evie did not like Jameson.
Even though Albert wanted to use the children in Sharon's belly to control Jameson, it was still Jameson's child.
To Evie, there was no difference between them.
She would only be more annoyed if the child came to this world.
Evie helped Sharon.
She also did this because she did not want this to happen.
Everything seemed logical.
Sharon thought for a while, "What do you need me to do?"
Seeing Sharon agreed, Evie smiled and got up, "You just need to be as quiet as usual these few days.Also, during the birthday gala, you need to go to the back door without raising Jameson's suspicion.My people will be waiting for you there."
"There is one more thing."
Evie reminded Sharon, "After I get you out of here this time, you shall never return to the South City again.To get rid of Jameson's investigation, you cannot contact your family members or friends.Whether you choose to keep this child or not, it is up to you."
Sharon replied without any hesitation, "I can cut my contact with them.Thank you for helping me."
Evie smiled and continued saying, "Only the two of us know about this.If you tell others and you are not able to leave at the end, I can do nothing."
"I will not tell anyone."
Evie nodded and left upon hearing Sharon's promise.
The room became quiet again, but Sharon's heart was beating fast.
No matter why Evie helped her or what Evie was planning, she did not have any other choice.
Sharon tossed and turned.
She could not completely trust Evie.
She did not know where Evie was going to send her to.Therefore, she had to plan a route for escape.
