Chapter 309 She Is Quite Unfortunate

"It wasn't our fault. It was yours, the Burke family, and your oppression. Aiden had no choice but to get involved with Ines, and I only wanted to gather more resources to help Aiden escape from your shackles," Yvonne said, filled with righteous indignation.
This left Elijah genuinely baffled. After all, even though their interactions were limited, Elijah could tell that Aiden was very fond of Ines. So, Aiden has been pretending all these years. No wonder he kept delaying getting married.
As if a thought suddenly struck him, he looked at the sorrowful Yvonne before him. His heart ached at her distress, probably due to his nature of treating women with gentleness. Unable to contain himself, Elijah blurted out, "Don't worry. They won't end up together Upon hearing those words, both Isabella and Alexander, who were eavesdropping, were taken aback.
Yvonne suddenly lifted her head as if she had found hope. A peculiar glimmer flashed in her eyes as she gazed at Elijah in anticipation.
Elijah continued, "I also found this out by accident. Actually, Ines can't get pregnant."
Isabella thought. D*mn. He actually knew. Oh, it turns out that this brat's mother is exceptionally involved in Household politics. She's cunning and knows how to keep things hidden. She set her sights on the couple that the family favors most for a marriage alliance. After all, Elijah and Aiden are about the same age. She initially wanted to find a flaw to sabotage the pair. However, upon investigation, she discovered that Ines had health issues. According to the traditions of the Burke family, no matter how good a daughter-in-law is, if she has health problems, she's of no use. Therefore, this mother very "kindly" kept this secret, hoping that Aiden and Ines would end up together and have no offspring. Unexpectedly, her son exposed it.
The Quirk family frowned upon hearing that. After all, that was the Deleon family's secret. Elijah seemed to have no filter when it came to gossip. One could guess that he might have had a hidden agenda, perhaps trying to impress Yvonne.
Alexander also furrowed his brow. He was extremely curious how Yvonne would react at that moment.
In the next moment, Yvonne asked further in excitement. After Elijah finished explaining, Yvonne was silent for a while before she said, "I got it."
Her voice sounded somewhat hoarse.
It seemed as though Elijah had only just realized that he shouldn't have exposed himself. Yet, he immediately reassured himself. At least I know the secret of this sexual relationship between a stepmother and her stepson, which I can still use to manipulate Aiden. Besides, judging from Yvonne's demeanor, she doesn't seem like the type to use such secrets as leverage.
Isabella thought. Tsk, I bet Yvonne is grinning ear to ear by now, probably scheming how to use this information to force the two to break up. She may even be considering herself an upholder of justice rescuing Aiden. What a hassle! But I'm quite curious to see her reaction when, even after she reveals everything, Aiden still chooses Ines. No, no, no, better not. This is Ines' sore spot. It's best left untouched.
As she was deep in thought, she could feel the quiet Ines, whom she was holding, starting to tremble.
Isabella figured Ines must have been trembling earlier, but she hadn't noticed because she was engrossed in the gossip. It was only when Ines' emotional fluctuations had grown more intense that Isabella became aware of ir

Isabella immediately shifted her gaze toward Ines, her heart aching immensely. The usually radiant and adorable girl now looked as if she had lost her soul, an agonized expression adorning her face. eyes
Ines' were lifeless and lackluster. Her face was flushed red from emotional turmoil, and the veins on her forehead prominently bulged as if she would faint from the agitation any second.
All of a sudden, Isabella found herself completely at a loss.
Alexander sighed silently. Ines probably hasn't even realized it herself. Her innocence, combined with her physical issues, has somehow gone unnoticed by everyone else. No one realized the secret she held. This is proof that her family and Aiden have managed to keep her completely distanced from her pain to the point where she herself doesn't even care anymore. Regrettably, her encounter with Yvonne shattered everything that those who loved her had worked so hard to build. One could only say that she's quite unfortunate.
Right then, Ines' phone buzzed in her pocket. Isabella, with her sharp eyes, saw the incoming call display. Without a second thought, she grabbed the phone, dismissed the call, and then sent a message to Aiden to hurry over. He needs to comfort his own wife. Otherwise, it'll be too late. Though Aiden is innocent, he has inadvertently invited this romantic trouble upon himself, and thus, he has to take full responsibility for it.
