How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 139

"You really picked yourself a fine daughter-in-law, didn't you? Who would have guessed all of Eddy's shares in The Simmons Group are under her name now."

A deep, hearty laugh echoed from the other end of the line. "In that sense, he takes after me. Loyal to a fault."

"It's just a shame he's fallen for such a naïve woman."

"Unlike you—so clever, always changing your face, keeping yourself hidden right under Loraine's nose."

Serena practically glowed from the praise.

As soon as Blanche stepped out of the law office, a bodyguard reported her movements straight to Eddy.

"Sir, it was Serena, a commercial lawyer from Seaborn Legal Group," the security chief said after his background check. "Shall we look into what services your wife requested?"

"No need," Eddy replied, gazing out from the top floor of the tallest building in Novandria, looking down at the city below. "She probably wants to transfer some real estate to Healy as a birthday present. For Healy's birthday party, make sure you coordinate with PR—make it grander this year. I want my wife to enjoy herself."

"As long as my wife doesn't meet with Fernando, nothing else needs my attention. Just keep her safe."

Eddy hung up and turned to the man across from him. "Go on."

The detective dropped to his knees with a thud, trembling. "I'm sorry, Mr. Simmons."

"When I was investigating the Silverwood earthquake case, some dangerous people from the dark web found me. They tried to make me reveal who was behind it all—and what their motive was."

"I swear, I didn't say a word. But they hacked my phone and computer, and that's how they found out about you."

"It's my fault your wife was kidnapped by that unknown group," the detective sobbed, voice breaking. "Sir, I never betrayed you. I swear it."

"What did you find out?" Eddy's tone was icy.

Realizing this was his only shot at redemption, the detective quickly replied, "I tracked down the person who took that photo years ago."

"He recognized the man—it's Fernando, one of the world's top scientists. And the girl he marked as 'mysterious' in the photo is actually your wife. From their conversation, he gathered that she could control missile signals."
