Chapter 57

Aidan glared at Eliana - This woman...she obviously refuses to give me a child, yet, here she is, trying to make it sound as though I'm the one at fault...she really likes playing the blame game, huh? "I don't care a single bit about the child that you'd given birth to," Aidan sneered, "Why would I even bother trying to have another child with you? After all, wicked and unscrupulous women like you are incapable of giving birth to a living child…" Eliana felt as though she'd been shot in the heart by a gun - Aidan had calculated each and every one of his moves. He'd deliberately gotten her pregnant so that he could use the child against her. Eliana couldn't believe just how vicious and despicable this man was. She vowed never to give this man another child.  Seeing that Eliana still refused to back down, Aidan turned to the servant and commanded, "Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Miss Harvey wants to drink milk, all the milk that we have in this house, so go and prepare them this instant." “Yes, Second Young Master,” The servant acknowledged before hastily going to the kitchen to fetch the milk. Robert hesitated for a moment before following her inside - as she was taking the bottles of milk that they had, Robert walked over to get two bottles. He whispered, “Don’t tell anyone that we have more bottles of milk than just these two.” The servant nodded.  Robert then walked into the dining room and set the two bottles of milk on the table - “Second Young Master, this is all of the fresh milk that we have in the house.” The servant couldn’t help but feel slightly nervous - she was worried that Aidan would ask if this was really the case.  Alas, Aidan paid her no mind - he immediately turned to Eliana and said, “Drink both of them, or I’m afraid that it won’t be a very good day for you today.” Eliana quickly picked up the cup that the former had pushed over to her without hesitation and started to pour the milk into the cup before gulping it down. Soon enough, Eliana was done drinking the two bottles of milk, which weighed two kilograms in total - after she’d finished every drop, Eliana set the cup down on the table before looking up at Aidan indignantly. Aidan did not say a word and started to eat his meal.  Robert, who’d been watching the entire time, heaved a sigh of relief - he was glad that the entire ordeal was finally over. Seeing that Eliana was not doing anything, Aidan frowned, “So, what now? Are you just going to sit there and wait for me to feed you?” “I do not wish to disturb you, Second Young Master,” Eliana said in a calm voice, “I’ll eat after you finish your meal.” It was clear that Eliana detested the idea of dining with Aidan - knowing this, the latter sneered, “I never thought that I would see the day that the young matriarch of the once prominent and distinguished Harvey Family is reduced to eating leftovers.”  “There’s no longer a matriarch of the Harvey Family,” Eliana replied coldly. Huh, where is this talk about a matriarch coming from? Hadn’t he ruined our entire family a long time ago?  “Alright, you know what?” Aidan smirked, “Since you’re so insistent on eating leftovers, you can just eat that from now onwards.” Alas, instead of inciting a reaction from Eliana, the latter remained silent and did not say anything. Aidan furrowed his brows and threw his utensils down in frustration - he then snapped at Robert, “Well? Don’t you have something to report to me about?”  Robert nodded - after sending the servants present in the room out, he informed, “Second Young Master and Miss Harvey, I wish to inform you both that I’ve received some new information with regards to the investigation into Bryan Harvey’s death.” Eliana immediately straightened up slightly upon hearing what the former had said.  “According to the people who were at the construction site,” Robert started, “Only Bryan was on duty during dinnertime that day - they found Bryan lying on the ground, dead and motionless when they returned from dinner. There was a heavy object stained with blood not far away from Bryan’s corpse.”  Eliana couldn’t believe it - and so, she cut Robert off abruptly, “Wait, so you’re saying that, Bryan’s death was an accident after all? Robert shrugged, “One of the workers that were interrogated seemed pretty suspicious - upon further interrogation, he admitted that there was actually someone else who was on duty when it was supposed to be just Bryan alone.”  “Who was it?” Eliana asked anxiously.
