Chapter 438: 439: The Lucky Little Life_1
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone let out a sigh of relief!
But immediately after, the security guard said the child was on the ice. What did that mean?
Jade Carlson was also puzzled.
This wasn’t the script she had planned; it was different from her arrangement.
Mrs. Farrell’s child was supposed to be in the snake house of the small western-style building at this time, not on some ice!
For this plan, Jade Carlson had been scheming for a long time, initially just an idea, then gradually taking shape. The news of the Summers Family’s spring banquet gave her inspiration, and she thought she couldn’t be more clever! To come up with such a flawless stratagem!
At first, she bribed a servant of the Summers Family.
This was easy because the Summers Family was recently short on servants, and many new ones were hired. The new servants were a mixed bunch, not as loyal as the older ones, and she merely offered a higher price to pique their interest.
The servant prepared a baby carrier, waiting by the window. Jade Carlson used laxatives to send the nanny away, then she placed a prepared rope by the window, which she tied to the carrier to hoist upstairs. She then put the baby into the carrier and lowered it down. The snake scales were also prepared in advance and placed outside the window ledge.
Having done all this, she left the room as if nothing had happened, and that servant would sneak into the deserted small western-style building, carrying the baby—into the room with the pythons.
Jade knew that Purple Summers’s python wouldn’t hurt anyone. At least, this python had been with the Summers Family for many years and had never caused any incidents.
But Mrs. Farrell didn’t know that, nor did anyone else! As long as everyone saw the child in the python’s room, regardless of whether it was injured or not, people would only think it was the python that had taken the child!
Mrs. Farrell would hate Purple Summers and the Summers Family! She would use all of her connections to brutally suppress and seek revenge against the Summers Family!
But—
Mrs. Farrell would be grateful to Jade Carlson.
Because Jade would be the first to dash into the snake house and rescue Mrs. Farrell’s darling daughter from the dangerous jaws of the python!
Jade Carlson would become a hero, and the Summers Family would face condemnation from everyone!
If she could ruin the Summers Family, could Purple Summers survive unscathed?
Poor Purple Summers would have to bear the brunt of the entire Summers Family’s anger! The fate awaiting Purple Summers would be utterly miserable!
Jade delighted in this thought, but she didn’t quite understand why the child had been discovered on the ice.
However, it didn’t matter; it could be construed that the python had taken the child and abandoned it halfway.
With snake scales on the windowsill and the child mysteriously missing from the house, no matter what, the blame would inevitably fall on the python! Purple Summers couldn’t deny it!
Jade Carlson steadied the staggering Mrs. Farrell, following the security guard quickly towards the artificial lake in the garden, with a crowd of guests trailing behind them, making a commotion.
From a distance, they could see a dark spot in the center of the frozen lake.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes!
“My child!” Camilla Farrell struggled to rush forward.
“You can’t go there!” the security guard immediately stopped Mrs. Farrell, “The ice is too thin, and you will fall into an ice hole if you step on it!”
“My child! I have to save my child!” Mrs. Farrell cried, pushing the security guard.
The security guard was very straightforward and stubbornly held her back, shouting loudly, “You really can’t go there! Someone has already fallen in, look at the footprints on the ice!”
It had snowed lightly this morning, and a thin layer of fresh snow covered the icy surface of the lake.
Dull black footprints on the pristine snow and ice were stark and clear, extending all the way to the center of the lake—near the baby, a large ice hole had suddenly cracked open!
Obviously, someone had carried the child across the ice when it broke, causing that person to fall into the ice hole, but the child, fortunate and light, landed on the ice at the last moment and was miraculously spared.
“Who took the child?!” In the crowd, confusion was visible on everyone’s faces.
