How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 56

Blanche watched Eddy, surprised that he looked completely at ease. He even broke into a delighted grin as she fed him, opening his mouth obediently to take the small white pill.

As Eddy turned and walked away, Blanche suddenly remembered that she'd bought those vitamins herself—she'd been taking them long before she even met Eddy.

She couldn't bring herself to believe he would ever harm her.

After swallowing the pill, Eddy tipped one out from the bottle and held it to her lips.

Blanche's gaze fixed on his hand, the pale knuckles tense with the slightest pressure. All at once, she lost any desire to take it.

She raised her hand, knocking the bottle from his grasp. It tumbled to the floor, scattering white pills everywhere.

Eddy bent to retrieve the bottle without the slightest hint of annoyance. "I'll have the housekeeper come in and clean this up."

On their wedding day, he'd registered her name on every one of his assets.

The day she gave birth to Healy, he'd even transferred all his shares in the Simmons Group to her name.

Her call with Jeannette had long since ended. Staring at her phone case, with "Beloved Wife" inscribed on the back, Blanche felt a tangle of emotions she couldn't quite put into words.

It had to be Jeannette lying to her. There was no other explanation.

Blanche walked to the table and absently flipped through the Northshire Estates purchase agreement, the pages slipping from her fingers.

But even if he'd given her everything he owned, he'd still betrayed her. Even the Northshire estate—she hadn't known about it until recently.

She bent down and picked up one of the scattered white pills, slipping it into a drawer.

Tomorrow, she'd ask Sophie at the hospital to check it out.

The housekeeper soon entered, tidying up the mess. "Ma'am, the young master and miss are arguing again in the back garden."

In the past, Blanche would always step in as peacemaker when those siblings fought. But now, she found she just didn't have it in her.

Still, she headed downstairs.

From the staircase, she could already hear Eddy's cold voice: "On the day of the ceremony, I only drank one thing—the water you handed me."

"Why did you put something in the water?"
