How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 99

Blanche reached out to take the file, but Eddy caught her hand and gently pulled her behind him. "There's no need for Professor Reese to trouble himself. My wife is my responsibility—I'll protect her," he said firmly.

Just then, Hedwig hurried over.

"Hedwig, have you figured out who's behind this?" Eddy asked.

Hedwig looked uneasy. "Bro, the rumors online have been completely wiped—whoever did it left no trace. Our people couldn't find a single lead."

As his words faded, a hush fell over the room. The guests began whispering among themselves, some clearly impressed by Fernando's team's efficiency, others taking the opportunity to jab at The Simmons Group.

"I thought The Simmons Group had the best IT team in Novandria?"

"Why haven't they found anything, then?"

"You don't get it. There's always a higher wall between real experts."

"We're talking government-level researchers here, after all."

Eddy's jaw tightened, clearly agitated by the murmurs.

"Bro, maybe we should accept Professor Reese's help. Catching whoever hurt Blanche matters most," Hedwig suggested quietly.

Eddy hesitated, but finally relented and reached for the file.

"I am Laney's husband. No one else is qualified to interfere," Eddy replied icily.

"My ability to resolve this is not for you to question," Fernando shot back. "Since you know who's been slandering my wife, Professor Reese, hand over the file. I promise, once I catch them, I'll show my gratitude." He wrapped an arm possessively around Blanche as he spoke, making his claim clear.
