The doctor pulled up pictures of their own child just born from the computer.
Patrick examined them carefully, indeed noticing birthmarks on both of them, both on their left shoulders.
“Can these birthmarks be removed?” When they first brought the children, he hadn’t thought much about it. If he waited until his own children was well, swapping the two children again might be discovered by Jane.
“Birthmarks are innate, they can only be removed through surgery when they grow up, otherwise it’s very difficult for them to disappear on their own. However, there’s also a possibility that they appeared after birth.”
The doctor’s words provided Patrick with more legitimate reasons.
However, if Jane discovered these, the consequences would be unimaginable. He didn’t even dare to think about what might happen.
“Mr. Pansy, you can take the baby girl with you now, but let’s wait a bit longer for the baby boy.” The baby girl’s condition had reached the discharge standard, but the baby boy’s condition was still under observation.
Patrick shook his head, “Forget it, let’s take both children together.”
After leaving the hospital, Patrick went straight back to his own company, his mind preoccupied with how to divert Jane’s attention, so that she would focus all her thoughts on the company, making it easier to bring the baby boy back.
At the villa,
“Madam, Mrs. Ragsdill is downstairs saying she’s here to see you.” The nanny brought the child over to Jane and informed her.
Jane frowned at the name, her mind filled with the scene of her collapse.
She had thought she could forget it, but every time it was brought up, she found it impossible to forget.
“Ask her to wait downstairs.”
Since she had come, they might as well settle all the accounts, old and new, together.
Mrs. Ragsdill brought a lot of things, arranging them all over the table, even more than before.
Jane came downstairs and seeing these things, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
“Could you trouble yourself to take these things away? I don’t need them!” Jane’s indifferent words made Mrs. Ragsdill’s heart sink.
She had thought there was still a glimmer of hope coming here, but now it seemed that even the last hope had been shattered.
“Jane, I am an elder after all, and at least I am Maria’s mother-in-law. Even if you don’t respect me, you should at least respect Maria. Please accept these things.” Mrs. Ragsdill used Maria as a shield.
Jane glanced at her, her eyes cold and ruthless, “Mrs. Ragsdill, I have never forgotten what happened back then. If it weren’t for your existence, my children would not have been premature, and I would not have ended up like this. Do you pretend that none of this ever happened?”
Jane argued with her, struggling to suppress her anger.
“Jane, I know it was all my fault, so I came here today to apologize, hoping you can forgive me!” Mrs. Ragsdill seemed much more sincere, completely different from her arrogant and domineering demeanor a month ago.
Unfortunately, Jane was not willing to believe her at all.
“Since you’re so persistent, I don’t want to hurt your face, lest I appear too ignorant.”
Jane looked at her with a hint of disdain.
“So, does this mean you forgive me?” Mrs. Ragsdill seemed to see a glimmer of hope and continued to plead, “Now my husband ignores me, and the children have all moved out. I’m left all alone. If this matter doesn’t get resolved, I’m afraid I’ll truly be alone.”
Her pitiful appearance didn’t evoke even a shred of sympathy from Jane.
“Back then, half of your company’s shares were transferred into my hands. Now, I am the largest partner in your company, right?” Jane deliberately brought up this matter.
Mrs. Ragsdill immediately became alert, “What are you trying to do?”
“I’ve seen your company’s financial statements, and the financial situation isn’t good. It’s been in a state of loss for the past few years. If things continue like this, bankruptcy may not be far off, right?” Jane might not be adept at many things, but she was quite knowledgeable about their company’s economic situation. After all, it concerned her interests, and when it came to her own interests, Jane took them very seriously.
“You understand our company’s situation, but don’t forget, this also concerns your interests. Right now, we’re all in the same boat!” Mrs. Ragsdill looked at Jane with fear in her eyes, feeling that there was something extremely ruthless hidden beneath her gaze, something she couldn’t fathom.
Jane took out her phone and dialed a number, speaking to the person on the other end, “Sell off all my shares in the Ragsdill family immediately, and convert them all into cash.”
Mrs. Ragsdill became anxious. Selling off the shares for cash at this time would be tantamount to destroying their company!
With poor profits already, where would they get so much money to buy back her shares?
“Don’t act impulsively!”
Jane’s lips curled slightly. “I’m quite calm right now.”
A few minutes later, Mrs. Ragsdill’s phone rang, it was Mr. Ragsdill calling, and he immediately launched into a tirade, “Do you understand the importance of putting the company first and considering the overall situation? Jane wants to withdraw her shares, do you know that?”
“I know, I know, I’m at Jane’s place right now!” Mrs. Ragsdill sounded much more humble, her attitude much lower than before.
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Ragsdill knelt down in front of Jane, “Please, spare us!”
Jane immediately stood up and walked to the side. “Don’t come too close to me, I need to keep some distance from you, lest trouble comes my way!”
Mrs. Ragsdill continued to beg for mercy while kneeling.
“Now the company is in this state all because of your own actions, it has nothing to do with anyone else, and there won’t be any connection anymore!” Jane said firmly, making sure she understood the current situation, so she wouldn’t confuse the priorities and have no idea what she was doing!
“I know I was wrong, I apologize to you, it’s all my fault!” Mrs. Ragsdill cried uncontrollably, never imagining that Jane could be so ruthless.
“You have five minutes to leave here, or the police will be coming!” Jane’s words stunned Mrs. Ragsdill, looking at her in shock.
“Are you trying to ruin our family?” Mrs. Ragsdill looked at her with a terrifying expression, feeling like she didn’t know the person in front of her.
“This is for Maria’s revenge, or for yourself?”
Jane nodded faintly. “Both, I suppose!”
Before Mrs. Ragsdill could respond, sirens sounded outside, frightening Mrs. Ragsdill, who didn’t know whether to leave or stay.
The police walked in, a group of them, “Hello, Mrs. Ragsdill, you are suspected of intentional harm. Please come with us!”
Mrs. Ragsdill struggled, “Intentional harm? How is that possible! I haven’t harmed anyone, let alone bullied anyone!”
