How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 235

Eddy’s fists clenched so tightly at his sides that his knuckles cracked, but there was nothing he could do. Two plainclothes officers stood guard, making sure he didn’t get any closer.

Seeing Kermit falter under Ablett’s imposing presence, Carney tried to encourage him. “Don’t be afraid. Just tell the truth.”

Kermit pointed a trembling finger at Blanche. “She…”

Then his finger shifted to Eddy. “And him…”

“They…”

He knew there was no good ending for him today. The police were already waiting outside the window. If he was going down, he’d take someone with him. “They are—”

Before he could finish, one of the officers, catching Ablett’s signal, brought the side of his hand down and knocked Kermit out cold.

“Ablett, what the hell are you doing?” Carney demanded, anger flaring in his eyes.

“He’s slandered my wife, insulted her, called her names no one should have to hear,” Ablett replied, clearly referring to Leda’s earlier accusations of Blanche abandoning her family and lacking shame. “I won’t let him go on.”

“Get him out of here.”

He glanced at the officers, who immediately dragged Kermit away to hand him over to the police.

Leda rushed forward, grabbing Ablett’s sleeve. Carney hurried to help her up. “You just had surgery. Your wound hasn’t even healed yet—please, take it slow.”

But Leda looked at Ablett, seeing how gentle he was with Blanche, while the look he gave her was cold and distant. Her heart throbbed painfully. “Ablett, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Simmons.”

“She really is Mr. Simmons’ ex-wife.”

“You’ve been deceived by her!”

“She’s a divorced woman, remarried,” Leda choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “She’s not good enough for you.”

Eddy’s fists tightened again until his bones ached.
