Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 308

"Whitty," she said, "if Anya brings Natalia to you, I suggest you play along. Let them think you're buying it. Play it out with them to the end."

She glanced at him. "Sometimes the final act gives you more than you expected."

"If Landon's motivation were only jealousy, he wouldn't go this far."

"The way he hates you—there's something else underneath it."

Andres agreed. He wanted to dig deeper too, to find out whether Landon's obsession with undermining him was really as simple as envy.

Maeve waved it off. "Don't mention it."

They'd slept together. That had to count for something. When she could help, she wasn't going to stand aside.

The "murder case" Maeve had engineered—clean, believable, perfectly timed—earned her several days off without suspicion.

During that time, Renfield Yates issued a formal apology on behalf of the university. He admitted he shouldn't have fired her in the heat of the moment.

Mateo Fulton walked up with a grin. "I thought you'd decided you were done with classes forever. You finally remember you've got a bunch of old classmates who worry about you?"
