chapter 87
Juliana hunged up the phone to plan her next strategy but to her dismal she could not find where Evelyne lived no matter how much she tried. But that was because Peter had blocked her people from finding out where Evelyne lived.
Peter had even stopped coming home and Juliana could not stomach the humiliation, all she could was go to William's family almost everyday to spend time with Liz and her daughter.
"Mom, why are you here again?" Vallery asked when she saw her mother again.
For the past three months, apart from coming here to vent her anger all day, Juliana did nothing else.
Even a simple assignment as finding where Amanda and her mother stayed was hard for her.
Vallery could not help but feel displeased. She had been doing all she could to return to the limelight and even did some charity, but it seemed like everything was going down the drain. No matter what she did, nothing seemed to work.
And now her mother has come again to vent her anger on her. She has tired of hearing her one sided story over and over again.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"What else can I do. I can't stay in that house for a whole day on my own. I might go crazy just thinking about your dad."
"Why don't you call him?"
"He won't pick up my phone."
Vallery was in deep thoughts. She too had also tried to find out where Amanda and her mother were staying but she could not.
She tried asking Jason but he dissed her and told her to mind her business. She was displeased but there was nothing she could do. "Mom, I have a brilliant idea to bring dad home." Vallery said as her eyes lit up.
"What idea?" Juliana asked, puzzled.
"We can't plan it here, we need to go back home." Vallery said. She was afraid that someone will overhear them. That will cause them to be in so much trouble.
So they immediately bid everyone goodbye and went to their home.
The moment they reached home, Val immediately divulged her plan to her mother.
"It's like this, you are going to pretend to commit suicide and then I will call dad to come over immediately. I will tell him that I found you in the house on the verge of dying so I had to rush you to the hospital."
"I will talk to the doctor so that we are not exposed. Once dad comes, try to act as coy as you could, make sure you get his phone and take Amanda's Mom number, that way we can track her location through a phone call." Vallery said.
"That plan is brilliantly, I think I can do it."
"Just make sure we are not exposed and dad does not see through us." Vallery commented.
"Okay daughter, don't worry."
Thus the mother and daughter pair put their plan in motion.
Peter who was still in the office received her daughter's call. Hearing her sob, he became tensed and stopped what he was doing. "What is it?" Peter asked.
"Sob... dad... sob... its mom...." Vallery said in between the sobs.
"Your mom? What is wrong with her?" Peter asked with a frown.
"Mom... ah..ah... tried to kill her self by cutting her wrist."
"What?" Peter was shocked. Although he did not like his wife anymore, but she was still his legal wife anyway. He once loved her deeply. Thinking of how he had neglected her recently, he felt slightly guilty. But it was only in a flash before his aloofness was restored.
"Where is she now?" He asked, not sounding overly concerned like how Vallery had predicted. Her heart sunk.
If her dad did not get hooked, then their plan will be meaningless.
"We are in the City Hospital, my mom is still in surgery." Vallery said.
"Okay, I will be right there." Peter said and hanged up that phone.
Hearing that he was coming over, Vallery immediately revealed a wicked smile.
She could do anything she could to return to the entertainment industry even if it meant using her parents.
She went to hurry the doctor so that by the time her father arrives, 'the surgery' will be over.
Peter rushed to the hospital at a lightning speed. He hated that woman Juliana to the core. She had made a fool out of him and even accused the wrong person, he had to settle some scores with her before she thought of dying.
By the time he reached the hospital, Juliana had already been taken to the ward and her eyes were still closed, she looked a little pale and her face was withered.
"Dad you are finally here?" Vallery asked with concern when she saw her father.
"How is she?" Peter said as he looked at the woman on bed without any expression or emotion.
"The doctor said she is now out of danger, the cut was not deep and she will wake up after thirty minutes." Vallery said.
"Dad, I wonder why mom could do such a thing. You have really neglected her recently. She complains everyday that sometimes you don't even go home for days, so she is always agitated when she thinks about you."
"Isn't that what she is good at. Overthink everything and not even caring about how I feel? Has she ever asked herself the reason why don't come home? Your mother is not someone who can reflect on her mistakes, I know her better than you do." Peter said.
Juliana, who was "lying dead" on the bed almost exposed herself when she heard Peter. She was so mad that she wanted to open her eyes and just scream at him. But she controlled herself, she knew that if they get exposed, everything will be over for them and they will forget about ever seeing Peter again.
She clenched her hands under the blanket and remained motionless.
Vallery on the other hand was stumped and did not know what to say. She could only smile awkwardly.
"Okay dad. I know you hadn't had lunch. I will go and get some food for you. I know mom will also need it after she wakes up." Vallery said as she left the ward. The atmosphere was stifling and she did not want to stay in the ward anymore.
Peter did not say anything and let her leave.
After Vallery left, he approached the bed and stood next to it.
He lowered his head and looked at the woman, whose eyes were shut tightly.
"Why don't you just go to hell, huh? It will be such a huge relief." Peter said in a low voice.
Juliana was so mad that she almost flared up, but remembering her daughter's instructions and their mission, she could only bite her tongue to control her anger.
"I thought that you were a sensible
n
woman, I divorced Evelyne because of you, but never thought that you were that vicious, to even harm yourself just to get back at me Peter said, he was very angry at the woman who was lying on the bed.
"Marring is the biggest mistake of my life." Peter lamented regretfully.
Not being able to take it anymore, Juliana opened her eyes.
"What did you just say?" She asked angrily as she sat up on bed.
She looked like someone who was perfectly in good health.
Peter was startled when he heard the sudden voice before he eyed the woman on the bed suspiciously.
Juliana knew that she has messed up big time the moment she opened her mouth. But she could not stomach the humiliation due to the words that
Peter was whispering to her.
"Are you really hurt?" Peter asked coldly.
Juliana shivered at his cold and emotionless eyes.
"Is one of your scheme just to get my attention?" Peter did not wait for her to answer as he had already figured out everything.
"You should have known better woman." With that, he strode out of the ward with a gloomy expression.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
