How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 159

They gazed at each other from across the crowd.

His gentle eyes lingered on her for a few seconds. Only when he saw the housemaid whisper something into Blanche's ear, and the ripple of emotion in Blanche's gaze, did he finally turn to leave, reassured.

Eddy slid into the backseat of his Rolls-Royce, still uneasy. "Assign more security for my wife," he instructed.

Blanche had given the maids the rest of the day off and watched as they left, laughter and chatter trailing behind them. The security team took up position at the door.
