Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 428

"Poppy, what… what did you say?"

"You want to frame her for causing you to miscarry?"

In his room, Liam couldn't help but cry out in shock.

After relaying Soren's message that day, Liam had left, but the more he thought about it, the stranger Poppy's willingness to apologize seemed.

He couldn't resist calling her again, wanting to warn her to be careful of Evangeline's retaliation. After all, Evangeline had lost her child; even with an apology, there was no guarantee she wouldn't do something drastic.

He shouldn't have bothered. His warning only prompted Poppy to tell him her real plan: to stage a scene with his help. She would use the apology as an opportunity to frame Evangeline for causing a miscarriage, which would also conveniently resolve the lie about her pregnancy.

Liam was at home, but he was still worried someone might overhear their conversation. He walked to the door, glanced outside, then shut it firmly and lowered his voice.

"Poppy, this is too risky."

"If you get caught, you'll lose Soren's trust completely."

More importantly, if she were exposed, Soren could trace the scheme back to him, and then he'd be finished too. Before, he wouldn't have been so afraid, but now, Soren was under some kind of spell cast by Evangeline, and his desire for revenge in matters concerning her was terrifyingly strong.

He didn't want to fly into the storm.

Poppy had anticipated this reaction. Her voice was calm. "But when the time comes and I can't produce a baby, Soren will find out the pregnancy was a lie, and I'll lose his trust anyway."

"Liam, you were part of the fake pregnancy. Neither of us can get away."

She was right. From the moment he'd agreed to help her forge the fake medical reports, they had been tied together in the same boat. They would sink or swim together.

But the way she said it sounded like a threat, making this Poppy feel strangely unfamiliar to Liam.

Instead of anger, however, he felt a pang of pity.

He paused for a long moment before saying, "Poppy, have you ever thought about… leaving Soren?"

Liam didn't mean anything else by it. It was just that Soren had personally told him he didn't love her. He felt that Poppy was now acting with the hysteria of someone cornered with no way out.
