How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 146

The maids recoiled in shock. In all their years caring for Blanche, they had never seen such raw hatred flash across her face.

Panic-stricken, they crowded around Jeannette, raining blows on her—but none dared go so far as to kill her.

In the cavernous mansion, Jeannette's screams echoed, shrill and desperate. "Help… someone, help me…"

Bruises blossomed across her pale skin; her face was battered and swollen. Eventually, she broke down, sobbing her pleas. "Please, Blanche, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I made it all up, I just wanted to upset you, that's all!"

"Please, have mercy…"

The maids hesitated at her cries, but with Blanche silent and unmoved, none dared disobey.

Suddenly, Healy burst in, shouting, "What are you doing? Get away from her!" He shoved the maids aside with wild fists and threw his arms around Jeannette, shielding her. "How dare you just attack someone like that!"

Eddy followed close behind, and the maids, terrified, stammered in hushed voices, "I-It was Mrs. Blanche who told us to…"

Healy's eyes blazed as he turned on Blanche. "Mom! Why do you keep picking on Miss Jean? You're as cruel as the Wicked Witch in all those stories!"

"If you hurt Miss Jean again, I don't care if you throw me the biggest birthday party or buy me the biggest cake—I won't forgive you!" He planted his hands on his hips, glaring at Blanche, his voice ringing out in the hall.

Blanche felt her heart shatter—her own son siding with Jeannette, twisting the knife deeper. Her face was expressionless as she looked to Eddy, her eyes dull and empty. "Is it true? What she said?"

Eddy had no idea what had sparked this chaos or the fight, but seeing Blanche so distraught, he hurried to her side, gently steadying her. "Let's talk about all this after we've eaten something."

But Blanche shoved him away, her eyes wild with grief. "Did I kill our daughter Clara?"

"Was she… was she born without a heartbeat?"

With each tortured word, tears streamed down her cheeks.

She remembered: she'd lost her strength and fallen down the stairs. Just a moment before, her baby girl had kicked inside her—how could anyone claim the child was born with no heartbeat?
