Chapter 345: Inner Turmoil
Upon hearing this, both Joy Chaucer and Chloe were surprised as they turned to look at Bianca. Chloe asked, "Why so sudden? Quinlan Aubrey cheated on Joy and he's still in the hospital. What made you think of moving up the wedding
date?"
Joy Chaucer felt discontent but dared not express it.
Bianca did not answer Chloe but instead turned to ask Joy, "What do you think, Joy?"
Joy managed a strained smile, "I'll follow Mom's arrangement."
"Good, then it's settled," Bianca declared. "October 1st is a good day. I'll discuss it with the Aubrey family and set it for then."
With October being less than three months away, Joy agreed, and Chloe naturally had nothing more to add.
As Chloe was about to speak again, Bianca turned to Joy, "Later, you'll come with me to the hospital to visit Gramma Sterling. She's been hospitalized, and you should go see her."
Joy obediently agreed, "Okay, I'll go with Mom."
Chloe, unaware of this, asked, "Bianca, why is Gramma Sterling hospitalized?"
Bianca glanced at Joy, then continued drinking her milk before saying, "Someone gave Meredith abortion drugs, which Gramma Sterling accidentally consumed. The culprit is already in police custody, and it seems there might be others behind this. The police are investigating."
This last comment was clearly Bianca's way of testing Joy.
Upon hearing that the police were investigating the mastermind behind the incident, Joy's grip on her milk glass slipped, and it crashed to the floor, spilling milk everywhere.
With a complex look in her eyes, Bianca watched Joy's reaction, then calmly instructed the maid, "Clean this up."
Joy, feeling anxious, explained, "It slipped."
Chloe, concerned, suggested, "Go wash your hands and change your clothes."
There was quite a bit of milk on her clothes.
"Okay." Joy went upstairs to change.
Bianca suddenly lost her appetite, suspecting that Terrence Sterling's guess might indeed be true. "Bianca," Chloe said, "you look upset. What's wrong?"
"I probably didn't sleep well last night," replied Bianca, her heart half cold, fearing the worst.
Bianca's expression was serious, a rarity when dealing with family, which deeply unsettled Chloe.

After changing, Joy accompanied Bianca to the hospital.
On the way, Joy was too afraid to speak. Bianca's seriousness today was frightening.
At the hospital, they encountered Meredith.
Seeing Meredith's protruding belly, envy was evident in Joy's eyes.
"Meredith," Bianca greeted with a smile, a stark contrast to her demeanor earlier.
"Bianca," Meredith replied.
Terrence Sterling arrived, naturally taking Meredith's hand.
This scene fueled Joy's jealousy, and internally, she cursed Fiona for her incompetence in handling such a small matter.
Meredith was perfectly fine, and she only got that old fool in the hospital-How useless.
Bianca explained to Terrence Sterling, "I've brought Joy to visit Gramma Sterling."

The four of them then went to the hospital ward to visit Gramma Sterling.
Stella and Julian were already there, exchanging pleasantries with Bianca.
After visiting Gramma Sterling, Meredith intentionally told Terrence, "I'll go see Fiona now. You don't need to come with me."
Hearing this, Joy instinctively glanced at Meredith.
Today, Joy was unusually subdued.
As Joy looked her way, Meredith also glanced back at Joy.
"I'll take you," Terrence said, then turned to Bianca, "Bianca, I'll go with Meredith first."
Stella emerged from the ward, remarking, "Meredith, you should really ask Fiona what she meant by doing such a vile thing. She's your friend, but what kind of friend does that? She must not have acted alone. The police should really interrogate her thoroughly."
Stella, in fact, knew nothing; she was merely speaking impulsively.
Her words, though inadvertently, struck a chord with Joy, who was like a startled bird, terribly worried that Fiona might slip up.
