Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 240

"I'm sorry," Andres said. "I acted without thinking. Since the setup's broken, we'll figure out a backup plan."

"As for the video, I talked it through with the lawyers. We can try building the case around you being underage at the time."

The way Andres said the word murder so casually somehow made Maeve want to laugh.

"I killed someone, and you're not reacting at all?"

Andres smiled at her with open fondness. "If you killed them, they probably deserved it."

Living with Maeve had taught him plenty. She had a strong moral compass. She wouldn't hurt an innocent person for no reason.

That unconditional trust amused Maeve.

"In the video, I was already an adult."

Andres brushed the hair away from her forehead and pinched her pale cheek. "Even if you were an adult then, I'll find a way to make you a minor."

Maeve stared at him. "When Emilio Rodriguez tried that underage excuse in court, you tore him apart."

Andres cleared his throat. "Call it a double standard."

For no particular reason, Maeve laughed.

…

Andres did exactly what he said he would.

This time, he hit the Morales family hard—so hard that seven Morales Group restaurants were forced to shut down.

The official report cited the use of illegal habit-forming substances in their recipes to artificially ensure repeat business.

In the food industry, that kind of thing was explicitly prohibited.

Combined with the recent livestream where countless viewers watched Ansel Morales snort an illegal substance, authorities took immediate interest.

For now, only seven locations had been sealed.
