How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 53

She had always treated Ingrid so well.

Even now, she couldn't believe Ingrid would betray her.

"If you want to forgive her, I won't stand in your way." Blanche caught the hesitation flicker across Ingrid's face and added, "After all, when I dropped by the estate that day, you two seemed to be getting along just fine."

"Jeannette makes a lovely cup of tea, doesn't she?"

The moment those words left Blanche's lips, all four people involved turned pale.

It was as if Ingrid had been struck across the back with a whip; a chill swept through her.

Blanche must have been outside the house that day. She must have overheard their conversation.

Ingrid frantically replayed every word she'd said that day, searching for anything incriminating. Other than mentioning Jeannette had been with Eddy for five years, she found nothing else that could have given them away. She let out a shaky breath. "Laney, take her to the river and feed her to the fish."

As soon as Ingrid spoke, Jeannette erupted into hysterics, screaming at Eddy, "No! Don't do this to me! I can't swim! I'll die!"

Even now, Jeannette refused to confess their affair in front of Eddy.

Blanche looked at Eddy.

His face was unreadable, exactly as it had been when the socialites attacked Jeannette. But his eyes were different now. He looked at Jeannette with pity—a tenderness Blanche had never once seen directed at her.

He pitied Jeannette.

But that look vanished in a heartbeat.

"Take her to the river," Eddy said, enunciating each word with icy finality. He then turned to Blanche, his gaze suddenly soft, almost loving. "No one gets to break your heart, Blanche."

For a moment, Blanche was stunned.

She slipped her hand from Eddy's grasp. If she hadn't known the truth, she might have been fooled by him again.

"No, please… don't…"

The bodyguards moved quickly, binding Jeannette's wrists and dragging her toward the riverbank.

Blanche watched in silence, uncertain. She couldn't believe Eddy would really toss Jeannette into the river just for her sake.
