How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 214

Blanche’s expression remained cool and indifferent at his sudden appearance. Even her voice dropped a few degrees colder. “I don’t know him.”

In that instant, Eddy felt his heart plummet. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from Blanche’s delicate face.

He had never imagined things between them would come to this.

Since Blanche claimed not to know him, and Eddy didn’t contradict her, everyone simply accepted that they were strangers passing by.

Blanche was strikingly beautiful—any man’s eyes would linger on her during a first encounter—so no one really noticed Eddy’s unwavering, almost rude stare.

After all, even her fiancé, Ablett, had only glanced briefly at Eddy Simmons, giving no sign of concern.

“I didn’t expect Rebekah’s friend would be you. You never accept invitations from women, not since your wife…” The one speaking was Ablett’s uncle, Patrick, a man only a few years older than the others at the table.

He noticed the shadow crossing Eddy’s face and broke off mid-sentence, suddenly recalling the situation. “I thought you’d never come out of hiding. It’s good to see you here.”

Patrick turned to the others. “Allow me to introduce you all—this is Mr. Simmons, the wealthiest man in Novandria. We’ve worked together overseas.” He signaled for a servant to arrange a seat for Eddy, placing him right beside him, making it clear how much he valued the connection.

“So you’re Mr. Simmons… Please, have a seat,” said Susannah Lopez warmly.

Everyone had heard at least a few rumors about Novandria’s richest man—a man supposedly devoted to his wife.

Eddy merely nodded and took his seat. Directly across from him sat Ablett and Blanche, their hands entwined on the table. The sight stabbed at Eddy’s heart, the pain barely contained beneath his stoic facade.

As the dinner progressed, Eddy’s gaze never left Blanche. It was as if he feared that if he looked away, she might vanish altogether.

Blanche, for her part, remained serene, sometimes chatting quietly with Ablett, other times answering questions from the Lopez family.

Yet when the Lopezes learned Blanche worked as a secretary in Mr. Jordan’s office, their expressions soured. More than once, they shot meaningful glances at the McCarthy parents.
