Sue's condition continued worsening with each passing day. It even came to a point where she could no longer take care of herself at all. Because of that, Charles had completely lost interest in her and had no plans to visit her whatsoever. As a matter of fact, he even ordered his servants to have Sue moved out of her place and take her into a relatively remote house. But worst of all, there were only two maids taking care of her right now.

In order to make sure that Hailey would stop looking into the fact that Sue had been poisoned, Charles forbade everyone from paying Sue a visit—including Hailey, of course. The way things stood, it was rather apparent that he had totally given up on Sue already. Apart from that, Mavis steadily and persistently refused to register Hailey as Kelly's daughter, leaving Hailey feeling extremely irritated and worried. If Sue succumbed to the poison, Hailey knew full well that her chances of being registered as Kelly's daughter would be close to none. If it came to that, she would be caught up in an even worse situation.

"My Lady, I just saw Lacy passing by," Tina reported to

it won't be long before we're kicked out of the mansion."

"No, no, I won't let us be thrown out. Harper is much too young to be taking over the whole mansion!" Sue angrily remarked before coughing up a little. "Hailey, don't worry about me. When you get back, try to find a way to tell your father that I'm gravely ill and worried that no one is around to take care of him. Tell him that I want to take some concubines for him before I die."

When she heard Sue's words, Hailey's eyes lit up. Sue must have come up with a plan already. Nodding her head in agreement, Hailey then said, "Well then, Mother, have a good night's rest. Rest assured, I will definitely ask someone to tell Father. My only wish is that Father wouldn't be too heartless for the sake of the relationship the two of you shared over the years."

"You should head back now. I know him like the back of my hand. As long as he gets my message, he will surely come to see me," Sue bitterly said. Never would she have expected that the day would come where she would be forced to take more concubines for her husband. Was this what they called karma?
