How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 85

"Is that so, Mr. Simmons?"

As one of Novandria's wealthiest men, Eddy was no stranger to the front page of every financial journal and business magazine. His reputation for doting on his wife was practically legendary, so the officers recognized him instantly.

Pollock and Rhoda craned their necks, eyes hopeful as they looked at Eddy. "Mr. Simmons, I know Laney is your wife, but you can't cover up the truth. A woman as vindictive as her—just because of a falling out between us and her mother years ago—she tried to harm her own half-sister. You shouldn't be protecting her."

"My daughter and her baby are still fighting for their lives..."

Blanche saw the hesitation flicker across Eddy's face. She took two shaky steps backward and collapsed onto the sofa, her face drained of color.

Then another voice echoed across the room.

"My daughter-in-law is a good woman. She would never do something like this!" Loraine entered with Vesta, having just heard the commotion. She strode in from the hallway, placing herself firmly between Blanche and the others, her words sharp and unwavering. "My daughter-in-law did not push anyone."

She turned to her son. "Isn't that right, Eddy?"

Eddy finally spoke. "My wife didn't push anyone down the stairs. Please, investigate properly."

Pollock and Rhoda's faces fell at his response. They glared at Eddy, as if they could tear him apart on the spot.

At that moment, a nurse hurried in.

"Where are Jeannette's family members?"

"Here—we're right here!" Pollock and Rhoda shouted in unison.

"I'm very sorry, but we couldn't save the baby."

The news hit like a thunderbolt. Eddy's face darkened, and he spoke in a low, commanding voice. "No matter the cost, save the mother."
