How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 105

"Somebody, get these three out of here." The command fell with a chill finality.

Just then, the property manager rushed in. "Mr. Simmons, Mrs. Simmons, this estate belongs to Mr. Anderson. We… we can't have them removed."

Eddy turned to his wife, his tone gentle and conciliatory. "Darling, Kelvin intends to bring Jeannette and her daughter back to the Andersons, to acknowledge them as family. He's been my friend and brother for so many years—we owe him that much. Let's just let bygones be bygones, all right?"

His wife's voice was sharp. "And what about the birth certificate?"

Eddy raised a hand. One of the bodyguards immediately produced a pale green document from inside his jacket. "It's all been taken care of. The Andersons will officially register Lara as one of their own soon."

He really had thought of everything to keep up the charade.

Blanche, utterly disheartened, clutched her Ocean Jewel purse and strode to the front door. Then, a sudden mischievous spark lit her eyes. She turned back to Jeannette. "Since we're all such old friends, and the Andersons are having a family reunion, I suppose we ought to send a rather spectacular gift."

Eddy nodded, his expression unreadable. "You're right, dear. Something truly memorable. What did you have in mind?"

"The bigger, the better," Blanche replied coolly. "We wouldn't want anyone doubting your sincerity."

Kelvin was shouldering such a scandal for them—the least they could do was repay him handsomely.

"Let's throw them the wedding of the century," Blanche said, her eyes glinting coldly. "After all, she is my half-sister. The world already knows she's pregnant and being forced to marry into a wealthy family. Her disgrace reflects on me, too."

"We'll handle the dowry as well."

A chill ran down Jeannette's spine as she absorbed Blanche's words.

Blanche was determined to cement her marriage to Kelvin, shutting the door on any possibility that Jeannette might one day become Mrs. Simmons.

Damn it.
