How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 215

Ablett ran his fingertips over the bloodstain, his gaze lingering coldly on the smear of red peeking from Eddy’s shirt collar. His eyes darkened, and without another word, he turned to leave.

Eddy’s fists clenched tight at his sides, knuckles paling with the effort. But with the plainclothes officers present, all he could do was warn through gritted teeth, “Don’t you dare lay a hand on her.”

Ablett paused at the doorway. It had been years since anyone dared speak to him with such insolence. His tall, imposing figure radiated an untouchable coolness as he said, voice flat and void of warmth, “Show him out.”

The officers immediately stepped between Eddy and the door, blocking his path.

Eddy’s fists trembled with rage, but he could do nothing as Ablett was escorted away like some honored guest by the security detail.

Instead of returning to his own room, Ablett made his way to Rebekah’s.

He found his sister lost in thought, her heart clearly conflicted. His tone softened, tinged with a melancholy only she could draw from him. “Rebekah, Eddy isn’t right for you.”

Rebekah met his eyes, defiant.

She’d grown up doted on, never denied anything she wanted, free-spirited and willful. Being told “no” was foreign to her, and her irritation showed in the furrow of her brow. “Brother, his wife abandoned him and their son—she’s never coming back. I really care about him. I don’t mind that he’s been married before, or that he has a child. I’d love his son as my own.”

Ablett’s expression tightened. “You’re still so young, Rebekah. You’re practically a child yourself.”

She faltered beneath his sternness—he was the only one who could ever make her nervous—but she squared her shoulders and pressed on. “I’m an adult now. I can learn. Besides, I’ve never meddled in your relationships, Brother. I stood by you when Grandma and the uncles said your wife wasn’t good enough for you—why can’t you do the same for me?”

She drew a shaky breath, voice unwavering. “I’ve never asked you for anything. Just this once, please, don’t stand between me and Eddy.”
